PITTSBURGH, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 19.
Yovsu HICLORT.—A gentleman on board the steam
es Mail, which conveyed Col. Polk to Wheeling, says:
wot , Tbe President - well deserves the mane of Young
Hickory. The more fatigue and labor he .undergoes. I
the better be seems to get. He has Certainly improved
time tramway:mood his journey. He retires early, ri
ow gaily, eats temperately, and I haveseen him drink
Rabin more than water the whole way, thus far. He
pushes forward with a promptness and energy that
'Wales no time for any one to be idle who aims to keep up
with him. They have to jump about quick or be . left."
Themes. writer says "I made an effort this morn
leg to be up before the President, end before the sun
had darted the first ray of pure light athwart the east
ern hills, I jumped frum my berth, rarhed into the
redefines cabin, and looking towards its upper end,
I swathe President standing erect before a looking
glass, with his beard well lathered, engaged in taking
it of with his own hand and his own razor, which be

1 011 to THE Pooh.—We Team from the Gs,
item that the Senate has passed an act authorizing the
COMBS to orders new election to complete the Board
of Overseers of the Poor in this city. We scarcely un --
-demand the movement. It would sewn incredible that
there is no provision in our laws for contingencies like
that which occurred at our recent election. We have
been told that in other cour.ties when a tie between the
candidates has occurred, the Court has chosen from the
Iwo highest. If this be true, why could not the ma t
eer be left to ern Court of Common Pleas instead of ask
ing a special act by legislature.
CANAL Costartssion E R.—We are pleased to see the
mime of one friend Wit. M'Ettaor, Esq. of Al
legheny city, mentioned, in the Daily, in connection
with din nomination for Canal Commissioner. The
nominee will doubtless be taken from the west, and
Mr. WE. would make an excellent one. lie is ho
nest, competent 'and deserting, and withal a sound
lEtenwrat.
Istsw HASPIIIIR6.—The Democratic State Con
vemion now in session at Concord has passed a resolu
don with only one negative voice,-de daring Mr Hale to
have renounced the nomination conferred on him, and
the same to be null and void. The delegations from
••tbs empties composing Hole's district, reported the
name of John Woodbury, of Exeter, as candidate for
Representative in Congress from district; and
his nomination was unanimously confirmed by the Con.
MORS COTTON MILLS.—The Laurel flouring mill,
at Baltimore, has been sold at $45 000, and is to be
converted into • cotton mill. The same priprietor
tad previously bought the Woodbury and Whitehall
mills which have been changed into cotton mills.

Rory O'More, always "go by contraries." The whit

numerous paragraphs like that above, which are to be

Deati.—A large number of individuals in Fme,land
have sent a petition to Parliament,praying that"deoth
spay be Abolished."
We should like to see them about it.

We should be very sorry to see them succ-ed, for
we do not think that, in the present condition of a large
portion of the population of Great Britain, the granting
of the petitioners' prayer is a "consummation devoutly
to be wished." To a very large number of the people
of "townie Estglande" life is a terrible burden, and
Death should be looked on as a rest and a refuge.—
When there is no food to sustain the population which
-the ravages of disease and privation and tyranny
spare, we cannot see bow it would be managed to feed
the nation if there were no means of "getting rid" of
tbesuperfluousimillions. Why, if no deaths would take
place in England for a single month, a fearful famine

whom the Deacon addressed himself thus 'My friend,

Society met in Convention at Rochester, on the sth in

declared, in the language of O'Connell, that the United

AUSTRIA AND THE AUSTRIANS.
The Imperial Arsenal, Library and Coach lloeu
—The Easpereor—Metierwkb
PINTR, (Hungary,) Sept. 24, 1844.
I resume the thread of the narrative of my journey
from Vienna, and only regret that I can but glance at
objects of the greatest interest not often described by
travelers. The Ambrass Afeseene is rich in all kinds
of armour, and in various relics, particulaey, arms,
trumpets, standards, &e., captured from the Turks by
Sobieski. There may be seen the battle axe of Mon
tezuma, the helmet of Scandenberg. and one of
Frances 1. of France. In one room, is a genealogical
tree of the house of Hapsburg, in relation to which
and to the accessions of territory acquired by =triage
these lines were composed :
"Bella genet alii. to folk Austria rube, - 1
Naar gum Mars alibi, dat tibi regno Venus."
The Imperial Arsenal is rich in the various im
plements of war, and has other objects of attraction 1
Around the interior Court, is suspended in festoons
the enormous chain with which the Turks stopped the
navigation of the Danube. Here also is the balloon
from which Marshall Jourdan reconnoitered the Aus
trian army previous to the batt'e of neon's. The buff
coat of elk skin, worn of Gurtaqus Adolphus, at the
battle of Fleuruv. It is perforated in the back by the
bullet that caused the death of the hero. The ceilings
of all the rooms are covered with swords, &e, arranged ,
to reprewmt the double beaded Austrian eagle.
The Imperial Librotry,contains 280,000 volumes and
16,000 MSS., and 300,00 e engravings of Prince Eu

that all the carriages of every sort belonging to the i
Emperor, amount to about seven hundred. How more '
than idle seems such expenditure for such objects-4
mean those for mere show, for the whole number in- I
elude those actually useful. .
It may be inferred that the revenues of the Austo WI
monarch are enormous. His dominions embrace eve
ry variety of soil and climate, and in Hungary extend,
like our own country, beyond the borders ofcivilizatinc
into immense tracts of country which has known no
change since the time of the Rumnns. He is Emperor
of Austria, King of Hungary, of Bohemia, of Lombar
dy and Venice. The master spirit who controls and
regulates all the vast machinery of this great empire is
Prince Metternich. His Christian name is Clement,
which has given rise to the ealembonr, "Notre Empe
reur est Clement.' The Emperor is accessible twice
a week to his subjects, and on the days appointed for
this purpose the meanest peasant can present his peti
tion. Upon the whole, the character of the Govern
ment appears to begat/4ms/, when it dues not become
oppressive by onerous exactions, for the people are led
by the ruling powers, like children. They originate
nothing—young genius suggests nothing, or if it does,
there are too many prescriptive rights, too many an
cant barriers in the way. The censorship of 'lmpress
is very severe, and the voice of reform cannot be beard
there. A leaden silence is imposed upon all, and the
public thought must travel in the direction marked out
by Prince Metternich.: It astonishes an American to
see such a massive, complicated and cumbrous system
of Government ad hered to. If we bad it,h would hal

Ast Alvirtn. CRIME is said to have occurred near
Cynthiana, Harrison county, Kentucky, some time in
the last week of January. It appears that a father
and son named Cason had a severe quarrel, which end
ed in a fight. The father threatened to kill his son,
and went to the house for his gun. The son, also,
' went fir his. They met behind the house, and both
took aim at the same moment. The father's gun
flashed; the son's shot took fatal effect near the heart
of his father, who fell, exclaiming, "YoO have killed
me." The mother of the deceased was the only wit

there is something in the nature of the soil which
petrifies many substances. There was a very singular
instance of petrifaction discovered there lately. The
citizens have built a new cemetery, and have removed
many of their friends from the old graveyard to it.
Many of the coffins were found to be unusually heavy,
even of small children. Finally in attempting to re
move a Mrs Evans, who had been dead about five
years, they found it difficult to get the coffin out of the
grave. Curiosity excited them to open it, and they
found the body in a state of petrifaction. The nose
and some parts of facie were decayed,'but the neck,
and the wrinkles in the flesh were perfectly natural.
The flash on one of the legs bad the appearance of
what is usually termed goose flesh. Petrifaction was
I not entirely complete except on the exterior. So much
for the marvellous. But singular as it may be, it is
