SMITH, EDITORS PITTSBURGH, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY, 20 BALTIMORE, AND UMW BAIL ROAD.,—As there seems to bee reasonable prospect that this great work will be carried out to a termination at some point on our Western waters, the question, Where shall the terminus bet excites much interest and abundant spec- Waren. The Philadelphians, eho are proverbial for their disinterestedness in every matter that concerns the prosperity of our commonwealth, are already in the field against any action of the Legislature which may ttiduce the Baltimore and Ohio Rail Road Company .to make Pittsburgh the terminus for their great work. We shall sot find fault with / the good people of our commercial emporium for guarding their interests with a jealous eye—but let them not take the false ground that the wishes of Philadelphia are identical with the best interests of the whole State, and attempt to show that the demands Of that city are to begratified before every thing else. A correspondent in the Harrisburgb Union, who signs himself "Lehman," argues the case for Philadelphia, and against the, rest of the commonwealth—at the same time assuming that he speaks for the whole State, and nut for Philadelphiaexclusively. If he had inserted the name of that city where he talks of "ruinous con -sequences to the Conanonsveallk" and "sacrificing the interests of Pennsylvania," he would have been more candid and quite as efficient in effecting his pur pose. His fears, which we think are ill-founded, are - sill for hie own city. "Lehman" appends to his article a report made by Mr Turrtri against a memorial of the Pittsburgh Bulrcl of Trade, last April, in which are arrayed the great est objections of the opponents of the project of bring ing the Baltimore Rail Road through our State. Mr Turns thinks that if that road should terminate at Parkersburgh, it would not injure Pennsylvania, (al ways meaning Philadelphia, let it be borne in mind) •becaase, he says that" water transportation is cheaper than rail-road or any other land communication"— and that steamboats would come on to Pittsburgh and not stop at Parkersburgh, and send their cargoes by railroad. If Mr TeSTIN be correct about the rela tive cheapness of lend anti of water transportation, Ilan it is impossible that the Baltimore and Ohio Road, even if it were to terminate at this city, could eempete with or injure our Main Line; more than two thirds of which is "water communication." But then, all the arguments of Mr Tusrie are valueless, because Patkersburgh has been rejected as the terminus of the road, by the Virginia Legislature, and Wheeling adopted. In this state of things it will never do to let the demands and supposed interests of Philadelphia settlethe question—it is for the advan tage of the whsle commonwealth to have within her borders as many and as good avenues to the sea board as she can obtain—the termination of the Rail Road at this city, so far from injuring our Main Line would create a healthy competition, and afford facili ties of transportation, which would send untold quan tities of goods nod produce to this paint from all di rections. It s something new under the sun to hear the Wheel lagers expressing fears that business will be "with -drawn from Pittsburgh and the Pennsylvania route." Yet Col. Thompson, of Wheeling, in a letter to the Harrieurgh Argue, in his eagerness to defeat the Parkersborgh project, expresses that fear. But now, as that matter is settled, we suppose that Wheeling will look upon Pittsburgh as her only antagonist in this contest, and will turn her arms in this direction. We apprehend she will find Pittsburgh a rather more formidable rival than Pat kersburgh. INTERNAL JACROvEMI.' IS IN Lours!►.r*.—The N 0 Jere' sonian Republican contains a report from ht G PENN, Engineer of the State of Louisiana, rela-. live to the progress of the public works of that State fur the past year. Mr PEtts's report is commendably brief, and be details many important operations in less than a column of the Republican. The operations of the State Engineer, and the peo ple under his charge, have been chiefly directed to clear ing out the Bayous and rendering them navigable.— They have, however, been engaged in ono work which -seems to be of some importance—the "cut-off" at Racconrci bend. The distance through this cut-of is 70 chains, and it is about 29 miles around. The tim ber has been cleared off, and a channel cut twelve feet in width by nine in depth, three-fourths of the whole distance. If the calculations of the Engineer have been realized, the whole channel is cut through by this time. This, once accomplished, and the sub stratum perforated and loosened by boring and blast ing, be thinks that the whole current of the Mississip pi will speedily find its way through. If this should be the case, the channel will have to be widened very considerably before steamboats can pass through it.— "These improvements have been chiefly made by the convict labor of the State, tlr The weather is mild and pleasant, our rivers are high and navigation is going on quite briskly. In a few days, our spring business will be fairly under way, if the present weather holds. Large prerurations have been made in every department of trade—ex ten live stocks of goods are on hand, and the facilities of travelling and transportation have been increased by the building of many new steam and canal boats; and as the Legislature is about to order a number of Titmice for the Portage Rail Way, there will doubtless be an unparalleled amount of business done in Pitts burgh this year, both in selling and transporting goods and products of all kinds. To aid in producing dm re sult, the new Aqueduct will be ready probably before the press of the business season commences. The prospects of our busy city were never better. bi►xtco.—We give an article horn the N. 0. Pic ayune, embracing many important details about recent evi.nts in Mexico. The editor of the Picayune takes much interest in Mexican matters, with which be is well acquainted He purchased his experience rather dearly, however—for he was a prisoner amongst that antiaSk people for many months, and bad to suffer all the privations and injuries that cuwaid cruelty could devise. • Wil•T'• IN A NAM,..? --ET/GUIS CLIFFORD is under sentence of death in Vermont for the murder of his wife and c4ild. lf a carpet novelist had been seeking for a pretty name for his hero, he would have been de lighted with that ef this murderer.

Professor Kendall, of the Phila delphia High Schools2lbservatory, has discovered that it differs from all abet comets on record, except that of 1823, in having two tails--one pointing towardathe sun, and the other in an opposite direction.

Messrs Editors:—Permit me to suggest, through your columns, the name of DAY I D Botts, E•q. of Bea ver county, as a candidate for the Democratic nomina tion for Canal Commissioner. Located in a county where whiggery is industriously Grilled, and rules with an iron sway, he has steadily resisted its pewee, his zeal and energy in the democratic cause increasing with the danger of the combat and the fury of the en emy. His character for probity and integrity is un questioned—his capacity is known to all who have had any business intercomse with him. In short, he pos sesses every quality that a competent officer should have. X. Y. Z. From the Boston Evening Tiamteript ASTONISHING FACTS IN RELATION TO THE EGYPTIAN PYRAMIDS. The materials of which the pyramids ore construe ted, afford scope for long dissertation, because inde pendently of the science and skill requisite for their adoption, the distances from which most of them were brought proves that each monarch's sway exten ded all over Egypt and Lower Nabio, if not beyond; and in relation to this subject we gather the following facts from the second lecture of Mr. Gliddou's new course: Geologically consideted. Egypt is a very peculiar country, the quarries of different kinds of stone lying at great distances from each other in distinctly marked localities. If you see a piece of basalt on the beach of the Mediterranean, you know that there is no ba saltic quarry nearer than between the Ist and 2d cat aract, and, when you find a block of granite at Mem phis, you know that no granite exists but at the first cataract—nearer than the peninsula of Mount Sinai.— Every civilization and extended dominion is indicated in these facts. and when we reflect upon them, we al most think we witness the work of transportation go ing on; that we see the builders, and the buildings themselves in process of election The blocks of Arabian limestone used in the interi or of the pyramids were brought from tits ancient quarries of Toorah. on the opposite side of the Nile, distant about 15 or 20 miles from each pyramid.— These very quarries are vast halls as it were excava ted in the living rock, wherein entire armies might encamp, are adorned with now mutilated tablets re cording the nge of their respective opening by different Pharaohs, not only show the very beds whence the stupendous blocks of some of the pyramids were taken; but are in themselves, works as wondrous and sublime as the M •mphis Pyramids! say. at the very foot of these quarries lie the countless. tombs said Sarcophagi of numbered generations of ancient quarrymen! These quarries are intense archrslogical interest, because the tablets in them record that stone was cut in them for Memphis, on such a day, such a month.such a year, of such a king, and these kings begin from the remote times before the 16th dynasty, and, at different into:- vats come down through the Pharaonic period with many of the others, till we reach the Ptolmaic epoch; and end with Latin inscriptions similar to others in Egypt, attesting that "these quarries were worked" in the propitious era dour Lords and Emperors Ser verus and Ameninus, thus enabling as to descend al most step by step from the remote antiquity of 2200 years 13. C. down to 200 years after the Christian era. The hand of modern barbarism, prompted by the destructiveness of Mahommed Ali has, since 1830, done more to deface these tables—to blow up many of these balls in sheer wantonness than has been effected by time in 4000 years! Every atom of the hundred thousand tons of granite used in the pyramids was cut at Syene, the fat cata ract distant 640 miles. The blacks, some of which are 90 feet long, had to be cut out of their beds with wooden wedges and copper chisels; then polished with emery till they were as smooth as looking glass, and then carried by land half a mile to the river—placed on rafts and floated down 640 miles to Memphis—brought by canals to the foot of the Lybian chain—conveyed by land over gigantic causeways front one mile to three in length to the pyramids for which they were intended, and then elevated by machinery and placed in their present position, with a skill and a masonic precision that has confounded the roost scientific European.engi neer with amazement. The very basalt sarcophagi that once held the mummy of the Pharaohs, in the in most recesses of these pyramidal mausolea, 81 feet I long by 31 broad and 3 deep, were all brought from Lower Nubia, from the basaltic quarties of the 2d cat aract, not nearer than 750 miles up the river! Looking , into the inferior of the pyramids, there is still much to stagger belief—to excite our admiration. In the pyramid of five steps, the upper beams that support the roof of the chamber are of oak, larch, and cedar, not one of wnich trees grow in Egypt, and es: tahlish the fact of the timber trade with Ilivria, Asia Minor and Mount Lebanon in ages long before A bra ham! In the fragments of a mummy the cloth is found to be saturated with "Pissaaphaltum"—Jew's pitch or bitumen Jruliacum, compounded of vegetable pitch from the Archipelago, and of ail halt= of the Dead Sea in Palestine; we find Gem Arable that does not I grow nearer than 1200 miles from the pyramid, at testing that commerce with tipper Nubia. The gold leaf came from the mines of Suakin on the Red Sea, or from remote Fazogla. The liquor which cleansed out the body of the mummy was cedria, the fluid rosin of the pinus cech us—thatgmws not nearer than Syria. I The spices send us to the Indian Ocean—the aloes to Succatta—the cinnamon to Ceylon, the ancient Tapro hane--and then the arts and sciences brought to bear upon the pyramids that mina have arrived at perfec t Lion long before that day, ate not only themes for end ; less reflections, but oblige us to confess that in chron ology we are yet children. Among his novel and strange assertions in relation to the science of the ancient Egyptians, Mr. Gliddon maintained that from the very nature of their country land the vast fossil remain* in their gunnies, &c., the ! Egyptian priests must have been geologists; and refer red to his "Chapters," page 49—for the remarks of the priest of Solon. "Yon mentioned one deluge only whereas many happened"—and other evidences, that ! the Egyptians recognised in their mythology and chronology of the world oast periods of time, anterior to the creation of man. Tranquilizing Efects of Pictures.—A very good picture (by which I mean every picture that has some thing good iu it) is not mere surface and color; it has n countenance like the countenance of a friend or lov er, of which extent certain expressions ere revealed only to certain eyes at certain moments. Then there tire the associations of long acquaintance; accidental gleams of lamp or sunshine have lighted up the sha dowy nooks and startled the eye with revelation of hid den beauty and meaning; or, in hours of lassitude or sorrow, Floors when the "fretful stir unprofitable" of this painful actual world has hang heavy on the spirit, the light breaking frotn behind the trees of far off di e . tance, stretching away, and leading the fancy after it, till its melt into Elysium, or rural groups, revels of satyrs, or clouds, or face of pure.eyed virgin or se rene saint, has arrested the troubled course of thought, and stamped a consecration on certain pictures which it would be a pleasure to see commemorated, but which no accidental visitor can enter into. "I cannot express to you," said a most distinguished statesman of the present airy, as we stood in the midst of his beautiful pictures, "I cannotexpress to you my feelings of tranquility, of restoration, with which in en intPr val of hamming official business, I look r3und me here.'' And while he spoke in the slow, quiet tone of a weary man, he turned his eyes on a forest scene of Ruysdal, and gazed on it for a minute or two in si lence—a silence I was careful not tokireak—as if its cool dewy verdure, its deep seclusions, it* transparent waters stealing through the glade, bad sent refresh ment to his weary soul.—De Johnson's Companion to Picture Galleries of London. • QUESTION •oR DISCUSSION.—ISIITIghtOrprOdefiIIOr printetstolaborwfieotheforesideoftheirbackseche,espec iallyw' bencausedbyhunger,whiclithuir subscribenimight •pps•sebypayi•gupl We take the misfire most decidedly. I LATER FROM MEXICO. Simla Ana still in Prison. Hy the arrival at New Orleans of the steamship Alabama, froth Havana, dates to the SistAtlt.," from Vera Cruz have been received per the British ilium ship Tay. i 'Santa Ana stildiremainedik prisoner at*e Castle of Flernte—the same cold, dreary and dismal plies in which he so long held the unfortunate Texans in cap. tivity. It is stated that the Grand Jury appointed to try the fallen tyrant, was furious against him, while the present Executive of Mexico manifested a feeling of clemency and at the same time of regret that he ' did not escape out of the country, and thus save the coverament further trouble. A letter dated Vera Cruz, January 31st, expresses the belief that the life of the tyrant would not be taken. His young wife was ' in prison with him 4 as was also an old, friend of his, Senor Lar.nro Villamil, Among the passengers by the Tay was Senor Anto nio Haw, Santa Ana's former Minister of Finance, who had made out to reach the coast in safety from Mexico. One of the editors of this papet, who came passenger in the Alabama, was informed at Havana that Senor H. had escaped through the assistance of the English Consnl at Vera Cruz, and that be came on board the Tay under an assumed name. Rejon was still at large and his whereabouts not known. Santa Ana has sent., from Perote, a new communi cation to the chambers, requesting that the passport for which he bad alteady asked might be granted him, in which case be would banish himself perpelu. ully from the cointry. He also stated that he would appoint an agent fully empowered and qualified to re- Fpo n d to any charges or claims made against him, leaving his landed estates and property as a gurranty for the satiAtiction of all, and moreover speaks of the responsibility of his ministers. This communication the Grand Jury were acting upon in secret session on the night of the 23d ult., an d the result of their delib erations was not known.—Ball Sam. From the N 0 Picayune. MEXICAN REVOLUTION The intelligence which we laid before our readers yesterday of the overthrow of Santa Ana, of his cap ture and confinement; puts a period to the stirring in terest of news from Mexico.- Thu revolution having been completely established, it only remains fur us to gather such items of news connected with recent events as were unavoidably overlooked yesterday, in conse quence of the late hour at which we received our let ters and papers. The capture of the ex-President was effected by a detachment from the volunteers of Jico, under corn- maid of D Amado Rodriguez, on the evening of the 15th of January. According to the official report, be surrendered himself with elect ity and yet with dignity. He demanded to be escorted to his hacienda at Ence ro, there to await passports which he alleged he ex pected, to enable him to leave the country. Our files from Mexico and Vera Cruz say nothing of the man ner of his capture, save what we have just stated; the account we gave yesterday that he was discovered by Indians ,through the sagacity of their rings, was on verbal authority; we find no mention of it in the pa pers—the omission is not, however, proof of its inac curacy. Immediately upon his capture he addressed a letter to Gen Rincon, through Gen Guzman, request ing that his person might be respected and himself ; spared from the insults of his enemies. His demands were complied with, and underan escort of five hun dred men he entered Jalapa in the evening, that hour being selected to avoid any demonstration of popular feeling which his presence might have provoked. He was subsequently transferred to Perote, and the or ders were positive that he should be strictly guarded, but at the same time treated with the consideration due to a distinguished soldier in misfortune, and allowed I every indulgence compatible with his personal safety. On the 17th of January, the two Chambers of Con-4 rent' were assembled in their capacity of "Grand Jui l ," and the capture of Santa Anna announced to them by Senor Cuevas, the Minister of Foreign Af fairs, in an address marked by great temperance and dignity. The reply of Senor Rosa, who presided over the Chambers, was in the same spirit. There is noth ing said of vengeance by either of them; they rt rri mended that the passions which were naturally excited by the resistance of a general at the head of numerous forces, should be allowed to subside now that the same general is a prisoner at their mcrcy. The editors, too, of the capitol write in the same strain; they manifest no eagerness for the condemnation of the prisoner, and deprecate any haste in his iris], or any violence un worthy the justice and magnanimity of the Mexican nation. The papers of Vera Cruz show a disposition widely different from this, and call violently for the blood of the tyrant. The latest date. from the capital do not indicate distinctly whether he has yet been or I dared thither to take his trial. We might furnish ! limber details of the gallant resistance made by Gen. ! Inclan to the repeated assaults of Santa Anna upon Puebla, but now that the issue is known they would be devoid of interest. Santa Anna, prior to his capture, bad renounced the Ptesidency and thtown up his command of the the army. which he devolved upon Beane Sierrery Rowso. Gen Bravo had receive(' the orders of the President to remove from their commands a number of the officers who had adhered to Santa Anna, and to fill their places. These were to undergo trials. The soldiers composing his army were daily arriving at the capital in small parties. Gen. Alvarez left Mexico on ti-v 9.oth of January for the Southern Departments, fully empowered by the Government to take measures for their entire and per manent pacification. Gen. Valencia, having vacated his command of the troops to the capital, luta been selected by Gen. Her reora, form the three names presented to him by the Council of Government, as the President of the Coun cil. Now that the contest with Santa Anna is over, the Government is turning its attention to the inclusions of the Indians in the Northern Departments. Nothing can be more deplorable, according to the representa tions before us, than the state of things in Durangoand the Northern part of the Department of Zacatecas.— Durango bait absolutely been overrun by the savages, Bodies of several hundreds have encamped at one time and fur several days in this Department, robbing, mur del ing and carrying into captivity the women and chil dren with imperfect impunity. Senor Cuevas, on the 15th ult., addressed the Governors of the Department. and of Chihuahua, Zacatecas, Ceahula and New Mex ico, to assure them that a large body of troops, amply supplied with the munitions of war, should march promptly to their defence, and put an etid to the outta ges from which :hey have sutfered so much. The trial of ex• President Cunalizo and of Bas mire, ex• Secretary of War, are brought to a nand, apparently from the want of public prosecutors. The organization of the Court for the trial of such ca ses is said to be altogether• faulty, and the editors call the earnest attention of the Government and people to radical reformation in this particular. A force of three hundred men arrived at Vera Cruz on the 15th ult., from Cnmpeaehy, to assist in resis ting the escape of Santa Anna. Their aid was not needed, as it turned, out. The Minister of War, Garcia Conde, had entered with great energy upon a reform in the administration of his department. Abuses the most enormous, espe cially in its fiscal arrangements, ere said to have exist ed. The press is !mid in its commendation of his prompt and vigorous measures. Evidence has been taken in regard to the robbery of the mint of Guanajato. It appears to have been per petrated bSr. Sierra y Rosso, by direction of Santa Rosso, by direction of Santa Anna, the assertion of the latter to the contrary, notwithstanding. Resolutions have already been entertained in Con gress for confeMng honors upon Gen. 'glint:it) helots. for his very gallant defence of the city of Puebla. This general's address to his troops. after the forces of San ta Anna had given in their adherence to the Govern , meat, is full of generous tribUte to the gallantry of his associates in command: and the devotion or citizens and soldiers to the cause of theircountry. Official notice was given on the 14th to all foreign residents in the country, that they must during the month renew their "letters of security,' or passports, under pain of a fine or imprisonment ; and the authori ties were charged to see the laws of November, 1842 and '43, in this regard, strictly enforced. Gen. Conner has voluntarily relinquished the com mand of the Department of Guanajuata,coaferred upon him by the Government. He pleads his infirmities and the desire to.attend to his privatgo,affairs, but declares his readiness at all times to take Up arms for his coun try, when her independence shall be menaced, against y foreign nation. Gem Herrera has exercised his power to grant pardons in favor of several Actin and soldiers con , damned to death by former mmalls of war. Our files of Mexican papers are so voluminous, that we find we have ramified the limits which we hall assigned for ourselves, Without as, all inherit* them. Another day we may recur to Noe topics which a r p•ar to es to be of interest in the United States. A MAN WHO ass CAUSED sows IfOlti tN THZ Woaso.—The New York Sun notices the death re cently of Gideon Olmstead, in Connecticut, at the age of ninety-six. There are some remarkable events connected with this man's life which are interesting, and which probably will be . remembered by many of our citizens. "During the revolutionary war, being a sea-faring man, he captured &revel which was captured from him in the Delaware, by a Pennsylvania vessel; the prize was sold, and the proceeds placed in the Treasury of that State. Gideon Olmstead commenced a suit age inst the State rights, and after many years it was decided in his favor; and during the various uials, the great question of State came up, was argued at length, and with great ability, and settled in some respects many important questions which had hitherto been left open. Execution was issued by the United States against the property cf David Rittenhouse. the celebrated philos opher, who was Treasurer of the State and received the proceeds of the prize. The State of Pennsylvania in defence of what was considered a right of the States, determined to oppose the process of the United States,. and accordingly the troops of the State were called out to defend the pro- perty of the heirs of Rittenhouse, situated at the cor ner of Seventh and Arch streets, and which from that affair was known subsequently as Fort Rittenhouse. It was throughout a great questien of State rights, and events have proved since that time, that the State of Pennsylvania was in the right. ' The war was carried on for some time. Guards were stationed around the house, bat by some compromise the Marshal effected his entrance into the mansion, and served his proceu. This is the second time that Pennsylvania had been arrayed in arms against the Government of the United States—the first was the celebrated whiskey insurrec tion, in which the venerable and Hon. Albert Galla tin, now of this city, was conspicuous. The Federal Government, at that period was making strong eff eta towards centralization. or rather consolidation ' and the election of Thomas J fferson restored or rather settled the principle cf State right-;'and there is no principle so deeply interwoven with the permaneecy of the Uni on. Asking as each State is permitted to enjoy its sover eignty and independence, and the General Govern ment is considered the mere agent, the Union cannot be broken. Many supposed that Gideon Olinstead, who was the cause of that celebrated entitle in Penn sylvania, had long since been gathered to his fathers; but it seems he has keen permitted, like many others of the revolutionary stock, to become quite s patriarch in years. THF, PHILANTHROPY OF ENGLAND While the English are pretending to feel such a Christian abhorrence of the oppression which they af firm exists in those of our States where negro slavery is tolerated, behold the evidence of her sineerily as presented by a London correspondent of the Boston Atlas:— "It is remarked that the Church of England has, on all occasions, been found ranged on the side of oppres siin and political despotism. It supports a poor law that humus poverty as a crime, and hunts the poor 1 from parish to parish, as if they were wild beam, It helps the landlord to tax foo3, and makes bread scarce and dear. It robs the people of the funds bequeathed fur their education, and lifts up its bigot voice against ,any other education but that given in the spirit of its dogmas. It extorts tithes, rates, does and offerings, even from the pootestof the poor—it 'clevedm widows' houses, and for pretence makes long prayers.' It is said that the rich cannot enter the kingdom of Heaves', and yet the church aim. at nothing but riches and grasps all the silver and gold within its reach; its bishops and clergy monopolize the wealth of the land and, surrounded with abundance of this world's goods, forget the poor at their gate. They talk and write el oquently of new forms and new robee, but they never preach eloquently &hoot true Christianity. Of what possible hese is the established church in London I The Bishop of London has answered the question.— He said in the House of Lords—'l lass the magni ficent church which crowns the metropolis, and is con secrated to the noblest of objects—the glory of God— and I ask myself in what degree it answers that ob ject. I see there a dean and three residentiaries,sith incomes amounting, in the aggregate, to between ten and twelve thousand pounds a year. I see, too, con nected with the Cathedral, twenty-nine clergymen, whose offices are all but sinecures, with an annual in come of twelve thousand pounds; I proceed a mile or two to the east, or northeast, an I find myself in the midst of an immense population, in the most wretched destitution and neglect: artisans, mechanics, labor beggars and thieves, to the amount of three hundred thousand!' Out of his own mouth he is condemned. Instead of providing for the temporal and spiritual destitution of these three hundred thousand beggars and thieves, the Bishop of London cleanses his con science if he writes speeches upon church forms and ceremonies!"
