H. BULIILER, Se( retary
Tilt Pestle Woess.—We mentioned, yesterday,
*bit the Committee of Ways and Means in the
House of itepresentatives, had reported against the
sale of the Public. Works of Pennsyl verde for ten
millions of dollars. We now learn by a letter from
narrisburgli. that they have gene a step (miller,
end reported against a sale of the works fur any
price that can be obtained. The report expresses the
opinion that since the vote was taken on the sLhject
of selling the works, lust fall, a great change has tuk.
en place in public sentiment, alai that now the peo
ple would go against tbe measure. In reporting
against any sale, we think the cummittee have done a
wise and judicious art, and a e have no doubt that
the people base, since the late election. wholly, chant
ed their views as to the propriety of sellb g the WOf 1::=.
• Therecould not have been a more itiauspicietis time
selected for obtaining the t iews of the people upon the
subject, titan the late canvass in Pennsylvania. So
thoroughly was every one occupied with discussing, the
'barite of- the Presidential and Gubernatorial candi
dates, and the measures each would carry out, that the
vital and important question, Shall the Main Line he
sold? was nearly forgotten. The whigs, with that in
stinct of their political nature which makes them favor
any scheme of tnonopoly, went almost unanimously fit
the project.—Acting wider the impression that the
patronage of the public works was a east advantage to
the democratic party in this State, and (eating that
they would he defeated again. notwithstanding their
affected confidence of success. many of the a pigs sup
ported the sale. Oilier., again, sustained it breuuse
„they hoped it might turn out a profitable speculation to
thousands. But few, we think, calmly reasoned and
considered of the nature and extent of the sacrifice
they were making in urging the measure.
We are aware that twiny democrats voted for the
sale, itinuanced no doubt by the silent end general
efforts of the whip, and the idea, a hich no doubt
weighed strongly with ninny honest men of both par
ties, that the sale held out hope of immunity from oner
ous taxation.
It was not till near the very den of election, that the
scheme to sell the public yolks was discussed to any
extent by its opponents; and then it was too late to at
tract public attention to the aubjert, and, as we have
shown above, while the Whigs made a party question
of-the sale and had tickets o ivied "for the .ale"—
alits democrats did not act a ith any unanimity or
concert to the matter. The consu - pence was that it
was carried, without having obtained that attention
from the people which its great importance should
have commanded.
Since the election, however, there lies been time and
opportunity to reflect on the subject more fully—an In
stalment of interest on the Sate Debt has been paid,
and there is a prospect that we shall be able to go on
paying; and the honest portion of those who voted
for the sale are beginning to think it possible that we
shall be able to pay our State Debt without sacrificin g
our great public improvements. The report of the
.canal commissioners shows a steady increase in the
revenue (rum the public works, and many persons
now for the first time realize their great and grossing
value. We think, in view of all these things, that
the committee had good reason to believe that a change
had taken place in public sentiment in regard to the
sale, and we do earnestly hope their report may be
adopted by the Legislature, and loin] the basis of any
action they may take in 'elation to the public works.
THE SABRA TH.—WC ~ e t. a COrregrOlidtllCC publish

collectors' offices open un the Sabbath, and the reply
of Mr CLARKE. Mr %VILLIAMs wishes the board to
do something to relieve the Collectors from the "un•
pleasant task of tt fling on the Sabatilh" In his reply,
Mr Clarke says: " The Canal Commissioners have
never, at any time, with my knowledge, given any
eiders to the collectors to keep their offices open on
"the holy Sabbath—nor have the board a legal power
"to have them closed." He says that, therefore the
Collectors are left to their own sense of propriety in
the matter.

under the new arrangement, the Intelligencer will

FIDIAN OUTRAGES—Capture of two :Ufa ?can
Girls.—The New Orleans Picayune states that the
Camanche Indians ate making dreadful inroads WI
ho Mexican towns bordering the Indian country.—
Thousands and thousands of horses and cattle have
been driven off, women and children have been led into
captivity, and t anchos and haciendas innumerable have
been murk desolate; nor is there force enough to make
headway against and rid the country successfully of
the invaders. When they are repulsed in one place
they appear in another, and commence anew their de
predations and atrocities. To show the daring of the
Indians, and the extent to which they go in their ma
rauding., a party of some two hundred and fifty le
cently dished boldly into Cuencame, a town of several
thousand inhabitants, near the southern line of the
State of Ourango, and carried off a large lot of valua
ble horses, besides many prisoners—the panic stricken
inhabitams hardly making a show of resistance. A
mong the prisoners were tea young. pretty, and well
informed gills, the daughters of a wealthy Spanish
merchant of that place. The girls were at a small
country seat of their father's near the edge cf town,
were among the first taken, and were cart ied off by
then raptors to the north. Their half-frantic parent
offered a heavy amount for their ransom or recapture,
but all his efforts have been ineffectual up to the last
accounts.

FOR 1 r ,, s
CANAL COMMISSIONER.
if 11.1rn. EehlOrs:—As the time for electing a Ca
nal Commis 'inner, to succeed Nlr Clarke. is near at
hand, it may be considered an important duty to make
timely choice of a good man for his successor, and,
in so doing, I presume there will be no difficulty—none
in recommending, (for this is a privilege ) and none
when the time for nomi,tating arrives. l'ennsyl enn i a
abounds in mental and physical strength, FOCh as has
always been adequate to the constitutional require
ments—and such as can do honor to any public sta
tion. Gigantic in her democratic representation, he r
destiny is onward and upward, from an able adminis
tration 0f her public affairs; any competent r flicers
v. ill continue to keep the balafee-wh 'el of govern
ment in proper motion for the general weal. Choose
you, therefore, whom you would have to manage your
internal interests.
It roar be a question with s ame, what portion of the
Oid Keystone is entitled to the next Commissioner.—
Let it not be made a matter of sectional dispute, for
thus far it has been pretty equally shared '•all round."
Since the law was passed creating the office, no par.
ticular portion of her citizens can say with „propriety
—hold back for us Nos lone—ler the Noi rh and
South, as well as the East and %Vest, have all had their
turn in due season; neither is it essential to set a pre
cedent of this kind in choosing candidates for elective
offices, especially. After the people have formally
recommended, a general Consemion of delegr k i es ,
chosen for that purpose. can make choice, and abide
by it manfully.
Already I observe the names of many worthy and
sterling Democrats offered; and, to the number, per
mit me to add that of JAMES BORNS, of Mifflin
county, at present a member of the Legishttive body.
Mr. B. is well known throughout the state, as a tho
' valgh-going Democrat, as well es a good practical
business man; and, for proof of this, I can say that he
has had much experience in Canaling, and at times,
too, when not only skill in superintending the duties
of his office was absolutely necessary—but the lively
exercise of a strong judgment in devising, and an hon
est pi inciple is the discharge of his whole d ut i es .—
While Supervisor on the Western Division of the Ju
niata Canal, he received. most worthily, the appro
bation of the Canal Board and public, for his able
discharge of i s duties—and so also. when a Contrac
tor on the same Line. lie has held various important
trusts in his own county, in all of w hich he has pro
ved himself deset redly popular both at home and
abroad, us an efficient officer. I therefore, confident
ly and cheerfully, recommend him to the Democracy
o 1 the Commonwealth, as a suitable candidate for the
office of Canal Commissioner.
Easter Sunday in Russia.—There is but one day
in the year, ttays Mr Grund, in which all Russia is
momentarily on terms of equality—that is Easter
Sunday. On that day, in imitation of true Christi
anity, which it seems the Russians do feel once a
year, the poorest serf embrace his master, and, kis
shag him, exclaims—" Christ hue risen ferns." But
the fetters of the bondman. which seem to fall to the
grqund on that day, are riveted again on the day fol
lowing: the rete - nony is a mere memento, nothing
more. In Germany, Italy and France these me
mento are more frequent, though less solemn. They
occur, in fact, daily. as often as the wealthy are
bruuz,ht in contact with the poor, at some place -dedi
cated to their joint reaction—they at least meet as
members of the same family.
The Senate at 12 o'clock to-day. Besides the sen
ators, there were present the President of the United
States, his cabinet, members of the diplomatic corps,
and some officersof thearmy and navy. Shortly af
ter the chair was takenoime sergeant-it-arms, follow
ed by the Committee of Arrangements arA pall-bear
ers, all wearing white scarfs, entered the front aisle in
procession, and the coffin containing the remains of the
Hon Isaac C Bates was home in by the undertakers
and laid upon the bier prepared for its reception in
front of the clerk's table; the President and his cabinet
being seated on chairs disposed in a semi-circle to ihe
right of the Chair, and time diplomatic corps in like
manner on the opposite side, to the left of the Chair.
The Hon Daniel Webster, the lion .1Q Adams,west
ing black scarfs, and accompanied by time son of Mr.
Bates, took their seats as chief mourners near time
brad of time coffin, to the left. The committee of ar
rangements and pall-bearer s stood in a semi•cirele at

The Rev Mr fuston then commenced the funeral
free ire by reading 'he 90th palm—iltat which is pre
Scribed by the ritual of the Church of England fur the
burial of the dead.
After a few preparatory remarks, Mr Tuston next
preached the fut,eral sormon (which was eloquent and
appropriate) on the 6dlowing text, taken from the
00;h chapter of Isaiah, 20th verse:
'•Thy son shiill no more go down, neither shall thy
moon withdraw itself; for the Lord shalt he thine ever
ing light, and the d:iys of thy mourning shall be
The plocesAon was again formed in accordance
with the programme published yesterday, and the body
was cart ied out to the east front ef the Capitol, and
placed in the hearse awaiting its reception. The In.
nerd corit ge then proceeded to the railroad depot,
where the coffin was delivered to the ftiends of the
deceased, to be conveyed fur intet tnent to his native
State.
On returning to tho Senntecliornlier the Senate ad
journed till to-morrow at 12 o'clool:.
Gentlemen who were at Washington and mingled
with the crowd assembled there at the inauguratom,
give n very gratifying account of the republican sim
plicity anti good order which prevailed.
The people, rich and poor, learned and ignorant,
met together upon is common level. The educated
and uneducated of both parties made up the throng,
and there was neither military not police to preserve
order, yet there was no disorder. The great end of
government w•e eNi lently accomplished, vie: so to
manage us not to be needed. Kings are not crowned
in this way. 7he reason is, that they govern the peo
ple. Here the people govern themselves.
The transfer of power from Alt - Tyler to Mr roll:
was an interesting exhibition. Mr Tyler, who had
for four yeuta exercised the executive power, sustain

woman on the floor who lay on her back with a pillow
under her head; she would occasionally amuse up and
tell a %ision which she said was revealed to her.—
They would at times all he talking at once, hulloing
at the top of their voices; some of them said there
was too much sin there. After the cessation of the
noise, Dammon got up and was more coherent ; he
complained of those that come there who did nut be•
lieve in the advent doctiine. At one time Dammon
said there were hogs there not belonging to the band,
and pointed at him and said, 'I meanysai, sir.' Sub
sequently, he addressed Lim again; said, you can't
drive us out of town ;' he stared him in the face and
said. 'I amen honest man or I could not look you in
the face, and you have a hell's brass or you could not
look me in the face.' Dammon said if he was the
owner of the house, he would compel all unbelievers
to leave it ; they were sitting and lying on the floor
promiscuously. and were exceedingly noisy. By spells
it was the noisiest I ever attended. He had seen
them in groups hugging and kissing each other.—
Once saw Elder Hall with his boots off, and 'he wo
men would go and kiss his feet. One girl made a
smack, but did not hit his foot with her lips. Hall
said. 'He that is asharped of me before men, of him
will I he ashamed before my'Father and the holy an•

THE INAUGURATION
V. Y. j",u, nal of Comm rCC
BILFINORE AND THE WEST
LATEST FROM SANTA FE
On Tuesday. the 25th ultimo, (says the Independ
ence Expositor,) seven gentlemen arrived here, after
a safe but arduous journey across the plains, from San
ta Fe, via Bent's Fort. Tia y left New Mexico early
in January. 'f he news they bring is uninteresting to
the mercantile portion of our community. Up to the
date of their departure, everything had remained quiet
in New Mexicu, the civil and military commandant of
that province, Gen Mariano Martinez, holding aloof
from any participation in the revolution, and no doubt
waiting to declare fur which ever party (Santa Anna
or the Congress)' might obtain the upper hand.
Dun Manuel Armiju was superseded in his govern
orship in the Ginter of 1843-4. by Gen Martinez, a
protege of Santa Anna. Armijo, the former com
mandant of the province, remains quietly in his re
tirement at Albuquerque.
The only internal distm bance feared in New Mexi
co, is an attack orate Yute Indians, in revenge for the
massacre of their head men in Santa Fe in August last.
The whole province is kept in conatide alnrm by their
depredations, and they threatened an nttnck on Santa
Fe itself. They have taken the fort of Antoine Rubi
doux, on the Wintite, and killed tire traders and hands
they found in it. It is said that Antoine Rebidoux es
caped to escaped to his futt WI the Cumpagara.
Mr Albert Speyer, who took out twenty-five wag
ons from this place in September last, suffered from
very severe weather in November, between the Ar
kansas and the Semitone, during the continuance of
hich lie lostone Imadred and fifty of his mules. Ile
sent on to Santa Fe an I obtained a fresh lot of ani
mtils, and filially arrived in Santa Fe the latter end of
December. We are told that Mr Sp.-yer bought up
the goods of several American traders who went out
in August lust to Santa Ft* arid continued his journey
to Chihuahua.
Messrs. Connel.y, Glasgow, and Alg ilia, lest upwards
of one 'iundred and forty head of stock in the storm
bet mentioned, and were also un - kr the necessity
of sending on for animals to Santa Fe. they procee
ded on their journey to Chihuahua in company with
Speyer.
Cohnel Owens left Santa Fe with the above named
gentlemen ; alter having, it is said, sold his remain
ing goods to Speyer.
There hav e been disimlmicei in the Paso del Norte
and Chihuahua, but nothing definite is knoxn with re•
gird to the result.
It i• said there %%01 bo n norn'ter of Spanish mer
