IN lilornimii Post. THOS PHILLIPS & RAI. R. SMITH. EDITORS PITTSBURGH. TUESDAY, MARCH 4, 1845 TRE DoINGS OF THIS DAY. — This is the Fourth of March! This is the day on which the over-confident whigs thought to see their political idol, the "Embodi ment" of theircorrupt and corrupting principles. take the helm of the ship of State. In their vivid and sanguine imaginations, they saw a long train of ntnpbs that would gladden their hearts and glut their avarice—first, there were the spoils of office, which would have been dispensed with a willing and un shrinking hand, and which would have been sought with a fierceness unexampled in our history except by the scenes of March, 1841, when the time and toil worn Harrison was bunted to the death. To multiply these spoils, the ingenuity of the most unscrupulous set of politicians that ever the country saw, would have been taxed to its utmost capacity. Then would the speculators and stock jobbers have been made glad by the prospect of securing the countenance and aid of the government in their schemes—their dreams would have been of magnificent palaces from whence streams of paper money would have flown to desolate - arid destroy the labor of the country, or make it yield an enormoutr tribute to their rapacious exactions. But thanks to Providence and the "indomitable heart" of the Democracy, we are spared from events so destructive of the best hopes of our country—so fatal to the progress of free principles throughout the world. The proud and ambitious man who the whigs hoped would fill the first place in the pageant which will transpire to-day at Washington, is far distant from the scene, gloomily brooding over the failure of Iris schemes of unhallowed ambition. God forbid that we should take any pleasure in the personal mor tifierition of the tr, hig candidate—but when we recall tho insulting demeanor of his 4 . .. flowers, towards those who opposed him, a Inch was so congenial, so grateful to his. haughty and arrogant spirit—thoughts of how that overbearing soul will bear the mortification it had heaped, and would still have heaped upon others, will force themselves upon the mind. 'Let us, however, drop this train of reflection, with the earnest hope that the uses of adversity may pro duce pleasant fruits to !.!Ir. CLAY and his party, and turn to another and a more inviting theme. This day, JA /IE3 K. POLK takes the prescribed oath of office, and enters upon the duties of President of the Uni ted States. The honor was neither sought nor ex pected, and he comes into power untrammeled by any personal pledges, and only obligated to maintain the great principles of democracy and to exert whatever of governmental influence can properly be exerted, in the equal promotion of "all the great interests of the country—Agriculture, Manufactures, Commerce "and Navigation." That he will redeem this great pledge—that he has the ability to perform this and all other things that he should do, to secure the glory and prosperity of the country we have the most un faltering confidence. And that he will make even his enemies confess his ability, moderation and liberality in the discharge of his duties, we confidently predict. CITY ORDINANCES, &c.—We hope our readers looked carefully nt the two Ordinances in our paper yesterday, for they are probably the only enactments of our city lawgivers that will grace our columns during the continuance of the present regime, which, we are glad tobelieve, is positively limited to one year only. By one of the ordinances alluded to, it will be seen that the Mayor is authorized to contract with two newspapers to publish the city ordinances, on "fair and equitable terms,"—and that, functionary, despising the practice of his more liberal predecessors, who al ways chose two papers of opposite political parties, has, wo believe, selected two papers from his own party—whether his honor was chiefly moved to give us tho go-by on account of political or of religious dif- ferencsis of opinionoserlo not know, and he has net had the courtesy to inform us. We are well pleased, however, that the two-penny policy of letting the job printing, the publishing of city ordinances, supplying , stationary, &R.. out to the lowest bidder is done away , with, and that the Mayor is to contract fur these things on 'fair and crplitable terms,"—meaning, of course, full and regular pi ices for all these setvices.— We cannot see why the printers should be made to suffer from a paltry system of economy, while other' persons in the city's employ, are paid reasonable pri ces for the S , 'Tl ice they render, and then, if they get a losing contract, they can apply to Councils for relief, with good pi (-spurts of success. We are pleased, therefore, that thosr , fortunate contemporaries on whom the favor of the Mayor has fallen, will be p lid a bet tor price for their labor than we had last year for printing the city ordinances—and when their term ex pires we hope the present rates will be maintained, and thus give their successors an equal chance. We are also glad to learn that the gentleman who took so active a part in procuring the passage of this printing ordinance, will be chosen job printer and stationer to the city; it is a fitting acknowledgement of his exer tions in that behalf, and shows that he has no thin-skin ned sensitiveness about people saying that he acted from interested motives—virtue, and especially virtue in a public servant, should find a reward, and our friend took care to secure a reward for himself. We wish the publishers of the City Ordinances, tied the City Job Printers and Stationers, much pleasure and profit in the new contracts—while they have them -but trust they will not be able to keep them long. reA correspondent of the Pennsylvanian says that the Boutd of Revenue Commissioners, have been ta king testimony us to the value (..f property, for the last few days, an I examining the n'turns made to their interrogatories, which are already rapidly coming in. Yesterday a resolution was adopted, appointing a Com mittee to prepare a Report of the proceedings of the Boma, pursuant to the provision of the 44th section of the act under which the Board is constituted, instructing the Committee to include in their Report a clear view of such defects of the present system of taxation as they may discover, and to suggest such remedies as they may deem proper, and also to include therein such other matters as they may think important to be made known to the public on the subject submitted to the Board. A resolution was also adopted that the Board will, on Saturday next, take up and consider the several counties in their order, and proceed to decide upon the valuation thereof according to the rules adopt ed by the Board. The Committee on Assessments Messrs Price, Low ry of Allegheny, and Reinclds, are industriously en gaged in the examination of the Tabular Statements nod assessments as returned by the several County Commissioners. FLAGS AT HALF-MAST.—The colors of the shipping in the port of Philadelphia were at half-mast on Wed nesday, in repect to the memory of Captain Engles of the ship Valparaiso, who died on board of his vessel while lying at Canton.

The above appeared in the Commercial Column of the Gazette some days since, but has escaped our no tice till now. We copy it. with peculiar pleasure, be cause, in the first place, it is a gratifying evidence of the increasing prosperity of our city and county, and in the second, it is another evidence that whig panic makers spoke falsely when they said the election of JAMES K Pock would ruin the business of the coun try. The Gazette thinks, too, that "if ever there was a favorable period" to finish a large woolen factory which was commenced in our county a few years ago. "thir. is the one." The Gazette is right. The policy of the coun'ry is settled, no doubt, for many years to come—there will be no bank to change the natural and healthy current of business—the Tariff will be permanently maintained at a standard that will afford all necessary protection, and government will go on smoothly under the vigorous and talented direction of our new President. We like the way the Gazette talks in the above extract. It is much better than to be sending forth par.ic predictions. It is rumored that Mrs Por.x will not take possession of the white House in its present condition —and Congress has refused to repair and furnish it. It is said a private house will be taken and fitted op et the President's own expense. On this, the New York Mirror, which took a whole co:umn the other day Cu prove that the terms "woman" and "wife," should be used in preference to "lady," commends "the Lady Presidentess." Retx.—We hear, says the Hartford Times, that many of the manufacturers of New England, now that the Presidential election is over, look at their own in terests camly, and frankly acknowledge that it is bet ter for them than if the Presidential contest had re sulted in Clay's election. In Tariifyille preparations are in progress to increase business. One million of brick hive been contracted for in the way of building additional factories connected with those now in pro gress. This does not look much like the ruin which the whip said would follow Mr. Polk's election. Cot.. W. 0. BUTLER.—The Following sketch of the history of Col. BUTLER, of Kentucky, is from the Louisville Democrat. ft is the more interesting, be cause the Colonel, it is presumed, is about to be called to a high and responsible post in his country's service. But whether that ramor be true or not, the history of the man who ■u nobly battled fur the cause of Democ. racy last summer, in Kentucky, under the very nose of the Great Embodiment, cannot be uninteresting to Democrats. Not one of the many who waited with such painful anxiety- to hear the news of the Guberna torial struggle in Kentucky last campaign—and who. when the result was announced, exclaimed with heart felt satisfaction, "Well done, Butler," will turn from this sketch with a feeling of indifference: HON. WM. 0. BUTLER This gentleman seems disposed to fill a respecta ble station in the service of his country. Hie services in the last war—in the House of Representatives of the United States—the purity of his private 'character mad his honorable deportment in all the relations of life, having extorted from his most zealous political op ponents uniform respect and esteem. Descended from one of the most distinguished (waits of the Rev olution, he has well sustained the character derived from that source. In 1778 Thomas Butler, the father of the family, was residing on his farm in Cumberland county, Pennsylvania. At the fir st call of his country he and his five sons, the youncest of whom was Pierce, the father Wm. 0. Butler, left their home for actual service; and did not return to it, except on very short till the end of the war, having been almost con stantly engaged in the most arduous and hazardousduties they shared largely in the toils risks and hardships of those eventful days, and secured the confidence and re spect of those with whom they served. It is known that they enjoyed the esteem of the Commander-in-Chief, who was proverbially slow in placing his confidence and cautions in expressing his approbation. The fath er was, during the war, a superintendent of public arms, for which ho was peculiar]) fitted; the sons were field and company officers. At the close of the war. Washington was President. It was more time custo mary at that time than now, to give toasts at dinneren tertainrnents. On one of these occasions in the pres ence of several revolutionary officers, at his dinner ta ble, in Philadelphia, Washington gave "The Butler family, the father and five sons," a ravelled highly to be valued complmerit, coming from suck a source.— The writer had the above incident from such a source. as to exclude all doubt of its correctness. The sons were again placed by Washington in prominent ca -1 tions, in the atrny, on the commencement of Indian hostilities. Three of them, we believe, were engaged in the fatal scene of St. Clair's defeat; one of them was Pierce, the father of Wm. O. Butler; another was Gen. Richard Butler, who was killed on that bloody field.— Ho was the father of the late James R. Butler, who commanded the Pittsburg Blues, at Fort Meigs, one of i the most estimable men we have ever known. 11. MICHIGAN CENTRE RAILROAD.—This road will be in full blast to Kalamazoo the ensuing summer, and a bill is now depending in the Michigan Legislature ap propriating 140,000 acres of State lands to com plete the road to St. Joseph, its western termination. There is no more important work into the Union, none which should be prosecuted with greater vigor. When this last link is completed, the journey can be made from Boston to Chicago in 84 hours, as follows: From Boston to Albany 12 hours. " Albany to Buffalo 24 " " Buffalo to Detroit 30 " " Detroit to St Joseph 12 " St Joseph to Chicago 6 " Quicx SlLVER.—Valuable mines says an Eastern paper, have been opened in Mexico. In the N. W. parts of China large quantities are found, although disputed by some late papers. It is also obtained in Brazil, Petu, tho East Indias, Spain, lonia, Italy, Hungary, Sibetia, Phillipines, &c. The most pro ductive mines are these of Idria, Carinthia, the Palati nate, and Potosi or Guanea Velica. The last were discovered in 1566 by one Games a Pcrtugese, who on examininga read earth called by the Indians timpi, he found it to be nativer cinabar, from which the mercu ry is extricated in Europe. The best cinabar is in Spain, and was wrought by the Romans 2100 years ago. One bed near Cordova, yielding 6000 quintals a year and one hunnsid pounds of ore yield 10 to 11 oz. of quick silver. The Chinese make puppets, placethem on mires, and by means of this drug give them mo tions like life itself. Aristotle mentions a wooden Va. pas moved by this means. Ripe Sireverberries!--On Tuesday last we were presented with a few ripe strawberries, which were gathered from the garden of Airs George Stone, of Tuskegee. They were not the production of a hot house, but grew in the open air in the garden. We have never before heard of the ripening of fruit at so early a period in this latitude. Macon (Ala.)

DICKENS AND THE PENNSYLVANIA The first number of the new "Journal of Prison Discipline and Philanthropy," just commenced in this city, contains a letter from Mr PETER, British Consul at Philadelphia, in reply to one from Mr J S Irsos, who desired of Mr Pei all that he should give his tes timony as to the accuracy of Mr Dr or Eas' descriptions of the Eastern Penitentiary. It may be recollected by the readers of Mr D's "American Notes," that some distressing pictures of mental and bodily suffer ing were there delineated, and represented as pictures from life as he witnessed it in the State Penitentiary at Philadelphia. Mr Peter writes: I have received your letter of the 20t11, respecting the Eastern Penitentiary of this city; and in compliance with your request, as well as in justice to that institu tion and the benevolent individuals who superintend and conduct it. hasten to give you the results of the investigations, which, in consequence if Mr. Dickens' statement, I considered it my duty to make on the subject. Though I had frequently visited the peniten tiary and approved of it as a whole, it was not until after the appearance of his remarks, that my attention was called to its more particular cases and details.— The result of these subsequent and minuter enquiries has only served to strengthen and confirm my earlier impressions. Better arranged buildings, more judi cious regulations, or humaner treatment of prisoners, —in short, means betteradapted and directed to their proposed end,—l have never seen in any institution for the punishment and reformation of criminals. In truth, I might add, that it is superior to any thing of the kind that I amacquainted with, either in the old world or the new Mr PtTEn takes up every particular case mention. ed by Mr DICKENS, and he shows that the imagina tive tourist was mistaken in every instance. Prison ers described as suffering under the most painful an guish in their solitary cells, drooping into melancholy or sinking into imbecility, are referred toin Mr Peter's letter by name, and it is proved of nearly every one of them that their imprisonment was a salutary ordeahand that they were improved by it. It is intimated pretty clearly that Mr Dickens was hoaxed by some of the convicts, who saw thathe carne in search of the sor towful, and dr•termined that he should be gratified,— No intentional misrepresentation is attributed to him. Mr Peter's letter concludes: I have only to add, that, though I have frequently visited the Penitentiary and seen and conversed with many of its inmates, I cannot - recollect having witness ed a single instance of the pains and wretchedness described by Mr Dickens. It is not true, that the prisoner "never hears of his wife or children; home or friends; the life or death of any single creature"— that, with the exception of the prison officers, , •he never looks upon a human countenance or hears a human voice," &c.Clirabilriallaafaty;tra Is - allowed, under proper restrictions, to correspond with, and even in some cases, to see both wife and children. He sees also, from time to time, moral instructers, and other benevolent individuals who are in the habit of visiting the prison, and is always at liberty to have the minister of his own church or sect with him, except after lockup-hours, or when engaged in the daily task of the establishment. It is riot, properly speaking, solitary imprisonment that he undergoes, but merely separation from his fellows in crime. A Fortunate Recovery.—A young lady of Phila delphia, a few days s ince, picked up a pocket book in Fourth street, near Market, which she had reason to suppose to have been just dropped by a gentleman passing by. She inquired of the gentleman, who proved to be a merchant from Tennessee, if he had lost anything, to which he, with some surprise at. the inquiry, replied in the negative. The young lady re peated her inquiry and suggested that he should satis fy himself by examining. On doing so he suddenly started, and declared himself a ruined man, for he had lost his pocket book. The book was then handed to him by the lady. On recovering which the gratitudeof the stranger was unbounded, and on the lady's posi tivelh refusing to accept aportion ofthe lost money, he insisted upon presenting her with a gold watch, which was declined. The strange merchant forced upon the lady two notes of twenty dollars each, being all the loose money in his pocket. The pocket book con tained slo,ooo.— True Sun.
