PALIMULLT ACCIMATZ.—The Rev. FREDERICK
Free has written & book--and it must be a curious
heolt,--called the Divine History of the Church. Mr.
F. has made many calculations about everts to come.
We extract one of his prophecies to show how accu
rate be Ist "1864, sh. 59m. 365. Twenty four see
m& to six. Destruction of Rome." Now, all we
want to know concerning this great coming event, is
the month and the day when it is to conic of. We
know the year--the hour—the minute—a) e, even the
second!—but the month and the day are not set down
—if the acme calculator ems enlighten us by filling up
ibis important hiatus, he certainly ought to do so in
mercy to the world. If be does not, people will be
likely to took upon his prophesy as a '•FraH story.'
Nsw GOYZRSOR or Wiser:yr/sm.—lt is said, and
no doubt truly, that N P Tallmadge has been removed
from the Gubernatorial Chair of Wisconsin, and Gen.
Henry Dodge appointed In his place. Dodge was
.fecmerly Governor of the Territory, but was removed
by Harrison, to give place to Dory. Mr Tailmmige
made op his plans two years ago to remove to Wig
crinsin, and somehow persuaded Mr. Tyler to appoint
him Governor. It was an altogether unfit appoint
ment, and it was not well received in the Territory,
with the affairs of which the new Governor was of
course unacquainted, and the re-appointment of Dodge
will prove very acceptable.

COPPER Missa.—The copper region of Lake S
uperior, is attracting much attention from money-mak
ing men. The Cleveland Plain Dealer says, a Bos
ton Company passed fluough this place • few days
since, on their way to dm copper country, with all the
parpahanalia of scbtemnefos. Their head quarters
will be Isle Royal, on the western borders of Lak e
Superior. Another company will leave Pittsburgh
on the ]sth inst, d.stined for copper Harbor.
The Gruen Bay Republican bas a report from Lake
Superior, that a rich copper mina has been discovered
near Copper Harbor which will yield six millions of
dollars annually.
tar The industry and enterprise displayed by the
owners of lots in the burnt district, is sufficient to dis
pel the gloom that a view of the wide spread ruin might
create: All is bustle and industr, nmmigthe smoulder
ing ruins; hundreds of laborers aro at work clearing
away the rubbish ; and on some of the lots they have
already commenced laying the bricks of the new build
ings. Our friend Noble informs 114, that the brick
building which he is erecting for his Upholstery es
tablishment, will be ready for him to commence work
loon Saturday week. and we have no doubt bet many
other buildings will be ready for tenants about the
same time.
ABOUT CariT•t..—Almon Stewart says "that eve
ry able bodied man in this country has locked up within
him, in the shape of bone and muscle, a capital stock
worth 0.000."
(Let us have a general unlocking of this capitol,
here in Pittsburgh, by all manner of means. It
will aid immensely in sustaining the destitute who
throng our streets, and in re-building the burnt dis
trict. We should like to know how to get at our
$5,000.]
Eatr.
C/N AL.,—At a meeting of boatmen recently
haunt Syntcuse, Naha purpose of establishing prices
for freight and passage for the coming season, it was
resolved, that the price of passage, including board, be
cents per mile, or 1 cent per mile without board .
and that the price of freight be 19 cents per 100 lbs
for 100 miles.
TR Z FACT CST Yrr.—The Piceyune tells of a steam
boat, built by a Yankee of course, which ran so fast
that when she burst her boiler, a short time since, the
passengers were all preserved by her running from
tinder ate= before they could be injured by.the scald
ing steam! This 1.11 the "quickest on record," decid
edly.
rir The laborers at HA Yea buildings in Wood
meet, yesterday, struck for higher wages—they were
receiving 75 cents a day—they struck for $l. The
unusual demind for labor, will beyond question, have
the tendency of raising the price of it. We believe,
however. that the men above named, die not succeed
in getting a higher price for theirs.
SYMPATHY PROM AIIRJAD.—Such generosity all the
following, is calculated to make us respect human na
ture, in;spite of the vexatious and heartless conduct of
a few extortioners who disgrace humanity by demand
ing higher prices fur any services they may perform,
or commodities they may sell tn, the suffers by the late
fire. The council+, on reception of the following, pas
ted a vote of thanks, to the donor, and accepted hid
grateful and timely contribution.
BA LTIMoRIC SATURDAY.
9 o'clock. P. M., 12th April, 194.5.
Messrs. Ilastrrox, SMITH & Co.,
Gentlemen:—We have just heard of the late awful
calamity with which your city has been visited, and
not knowing what action, if any, uf a public charader
will he taken in reference to it here. I hereby authorize
you to draw on me at sight for One Hundred Dol
lars, which sum I wish appropriated to the relief of
the poor and destitute amcng you, who have been
sufferers by the late fire. As I cannot obtain a check
before Monday, I trust this mode of contribution will
be found convenient, and prove acceptable.
In the hope that the extent of your calamity may
prove less thla is now aprehended, I am, with feelings
of the truest sympathy,
Your friend and very ob't servant.
An Affair of Honor.—We learn that a party of
young sprigs of fashion and folly, passed through this
city on Monday evening, from the "city of brotherly
love," on a visit to Bladensburgh, for the purpose of
attempting to murder one another under the code of
homer. They measured off their ground at 8 o'clock
yesterday morning, in the vicinity of that city, and
fired at each other twice at ten paces, but owing to
their excess of valor causing a certain tremulousness
in their nerves, the balls struck far wide of the mark.
Through the influence of friends they were "reluctant
ly per.uaded"(of course) to shake hands, &.c. The
principals were B. Powell, son of Cul. J. H. Powell.
and Francis Harley, both of Philadelphia. Mr E. Ash
was second to Mr. Powell, and Mr. Thos. Kuhn sec
,.,nd to Mr. Harley. We have not learned the cause
;f the difficulty. They reached Baltimore yesterday
o n their way home.—Baltimore Sun.
ALLEGHENY PORTAGE RAILWAY
This important link in the great chain of our public
works, is at present in good condition, although
considerable inconvenience was experienced fa- want
of snfficient ropes for the safe transit of passengers
and merchandize over the several inclined planes.
This, in part, at this present writing, remedied, as
several new ropes have been received within the past
week and are now placed on what was the most de
fective portions of the road. In passing over this road
a day or two since, we were gratified to witness the
activity and energy evinced by each and every person
in the employ of the State. Men, boys, horses, en
' gines, ALL were in constant motion, whilst burthen
cars. section boats, passenger can, &c. &c., were pas
sed along the entire length of this road with a degree
of safety and despatch unprecedented in the annals
of transportation on this complicated improvement.
1 1 The present Superintendent, DAVID WATSON,
Esq.. although very recently appointed to take charge
of this road, has already evinced an energy of charac
ter and fitness for this situation which give promise,
thnt, under his management, the best interests of the
Suite will be sustained, the property of individuals
protected, and the character of the main line watched
over with the greatest vigilance; in all which he has
been peculiarly fortunate in receiving the hearty co
operation of these active, intelligent, and prompt offi
cers. Assistant Superintendent Jesus Boost, EN., and
Mal J W GICAR Y. to whose experience and industry
much of the promptness and energy displayed over
this route is attributable. But there are others, who,
although not occupying prominent positions, do, by
their unwearied attention and vigilance, contribute in
a very large degree to the safety and despatch of the
business pertaining to this road;—we allude to the
Engineers and Hitchers of cars on the ten inclined
planes. A more energetic body of men are not to be
found elsewhere. It is to these that the safety of pro
perty and the lives of travelers, when passing this
road, is committed and in such hands there is safety.
We have deemed these remarks due to the chansc
er of the State Improvements. and to the gentlemen
having charge of the State works; and also believing
&Bluth information important to the advancement of
the interests of Pennsylvania and of the Western
trade, and, at the same time, that the people of Penn+!
Sylvania should be enabled to judge for themselves of
the management of the public works, and not be led
away by the misrepresentations of desining men, who,
for sinister motives, are wont to denouece the public
works of Pennsylvania, slander the reputations • of her
public servants, and who would, sr ut THCIII
barter away to a foreign corporation these important
improvements, in order to place them in the hands of
the associated wealth of Europe, and thus to serve as' .
an instrument in their hands to enslave the freemen of
this Commonwealth, and eventually to establish a
mongst us a modern federalism more oppressive than
even slavery itself. —ffollidaysberes Standard.
Eats Ezramstog.—The completion and opening of
Y , this work hastlarmed the New Yorkers, and they are
:agitating the question of reducing the Tolli on their
I Canals, in order to prevent Pittsburgh from
plying Western New Yotk itself, with certain articles
of which manufactories are established at Aibetly!•••••
I t The Buffalo Courier contains a Report made to the
New York Legislature in favor of the equalization of
!the Toils. We make the following extracts from it:
"There is another view in which this matter may be
regarded. If produce from, and merchandise to, the
Western States are not to be diverted by the Pennsyl
vrnia canals from ours, (and that they are not the un
dersigned are clear,) may not a large variety of man
ufactures, the ptoduce of Pittsburgh industry, be
brought to Western New York cheap than they can
be from the cities of New York and Albany. The
peculiar manufactures of Pittsburgh are as cheap at
Pittsburgh, as those same articles in Albany and New
York. Such are nails, glass and glass ware, a variety
of the manufactures of iron, steam engines, &c.—
Coal and iron at Pittsburgh and its vicinity lie beside
each other, and in all the forms into which iron may,
in this country, be wrought profitably, l'ittsburgh is
at least equal to any other locality, in pcint of cheap
ness. But a ton of the products of Pittsburgh man
ufactures can be brought from Pittsburgh to Buffalo,
or to Oswego, fin less than the same can be brought
from Albany to Buffalo or Oswego, at our present
rate of toll on our canals. The following example
may be taken as an illustration:
A ton of nails can be ptoducotl at Pittsburgh as
cheaply as at Albany. But thetolls on a ton of nails
from Albany to Bufldlo are six dollars, 55 cents and 2
mills: freight, 4 dollars; total tolls and freight, 10 dol
lars, 55 cents and 1 mill. The tolls on the Erie ex
tension canal, on a ton of Nails, are $1 36; freight
$3 00—(which is allowing a higher rate than on the
Erie canal,) total tolls and freight on a ton of nails
from Pittsbutglih to Buffalo. $4 36; in favor of the
Pitsburgh manufactures, 6 dollars, 19 cents and 2
mills, over those of Albany. Tu Oswego, by way of
Welland canal, the cost of transporting the ton of
nails would be, tolls, on Elie extension canal, $1 46;
freight to lake Erie, $2 00; tolls on Welland canal,
88 cents;—freight from Erie, Pennsylvania to Oswego,
$3 00; total tolls and freight. $7 24; advantage of
the Pittsburgh manufacturer, $3 31 over those of Al
bany.
'lt will thus be wren tbat,at oar present rate of tolls,
a ton of nails from Pittsburgh ern penetrate our state
a long way, before the Albany ton of nails a ill meet on
an equality of price. Do net the revenues of the ca
nals, and the interests of our citizens demand the ad
justment of our tolls in such a manner as to protect
both? It behooves our lesialation to be wise, and our
policy broad and far-seeing.'
Eng and American Rivers Compared.—A
gentlemanly and well-informed Englishman, who was
in the stage-coach with me, and who found out T wa■
an American. after dilating on the greatness, the ma
jesty, in short, of this noblest of British rivers (the
Thames) concluded thus:
"Sir, it may seem almost incredible to you, but it is
nevertheless true, that this prodigious stream is from
its mouth to its source, not much, if at all, short of one
hundred and fifty miles long!"
I looked steadfastly in his face to see if he jested;
but the g-avity of deep conviction was upon it. In
deed John Bull never jests• Aftercomposing myself
a moment I slowly responded:
'Perhaps, Sir, you never beau] of the great river
Ohior
think I have."
"Pei haps of the Missouri?
"I think so; though not sure."
"Certainly of the Mississippi?
"Oh, yes yes "
sit, a man will decend the Ohio in a steam
boat of the largest claps a thousand miles.
"Of what, sir? how many sir?"
"A thousand miles; and there he will meet anoth
er steamboat, of the same crass, which has come in an
opposite direction twelve hundred miler down the
Missouri: and then after going fifteen hundred miles
more, down the Miuissippi—he may see the flood
of waters disembogue by his fifty channels into the
sea!"
I had m rde up my mind to he considered a cheat;
so I went calmly and emphatically through the state
ment. Ai I progresed, my companion seemed some•
what disposed to take my story as a petsonal affront;
but at its close he let down his visage into a contemp-
tuous point, and regularly cut my acquaintance.
ADVENTURE WITH A BOA CONSTRICTOR.
Capt. C—, of her Majesty's 84th Foot, was
one of the most indefatigable sportsman I ever met
with, and the entire of his time that could be spared
from regimental duty was passed by the jungles. He
was a man of vast personal strength, could undergo
any degree of fatigue; in short possessed a perfectly
iron constitution.
When upon one of his excursions, Capt. C.--,
happened to be passing the night at a small village,
in the Wynaud jungle, when a ryit who had been out
very late searching foe a stray bullock, came to tell
him of a large cheetul or spotted deer, which he had
watched to its lair. He had also heard from the vil
lagers that a large snake had been seen several times
in that neighborhood. He started accordingly after
his game at daybreak, accompanied by the villager
and a favorite dog, which rarely left his heels unless
ordered.
After proceeding about half a mile through very
dense jungles, and being, as the viluger supposed,near
the spot where the cheetful had laid down, Captaiu
C— of a sudden missed his dog, and hearing a rust
ling in the bushes about ten yards off, accompanied by
a whimpering noise, he turned in that direction, and
saw, what he at first glance took for a tiger, from its
color, a mixture of black and brown, but soon discov
ered whar the monster really was—a huge enormous
boa constrictor, which had seized his poor Juno, and
was at the moment crushing her to atoms in its terri
ble coils. The native who was with him saw what it
was likewise, and immediately fled. Capt 0 -7--
afterwards described the appearance of the reptile,
when thus coiled around his dog, as somewhat resent
biing a barrel, every portion in violent muscular mo
tion, and he distinctly heard the bones of the poor
animal crack in succession within its terrible embrace.
At last the monster raised its head, and fixed two
glaring eyes on Capt C , who in another mo
ment might, perchance, have been fascinated by their
deadly gleam, hut with unerring aim he placed two
balls in its forehead. Their effect was not, however,
as he expected, fatal, and the snake instantly uncoil.
ing itself from its victim, came straight at Captain
C , who, of course, took to flight, but so thick
was Ole jungle that he found theanimal gaining on him
from the noise it made among the bushes, and there
fore sough: shelter in a tree, reloading his gun with all
possible expedition.
Whether the reptile followed him by sight or smell,
he could not judge, by Crept C— was only just
prepared for a second discharge when the boareached
the tree, and instantly twining itself around the stem,
would have soon seized him, but fortunately at the
next shot he blew out both its eyes with a charge of
yet though the snake appeared fur a moment stunned,
it still continuedlit efforts to reach him, until by re
peated shots it was incapacited from rising, not,
though, till Capt, C— had completely emptied
his powder cask, and he even then did not venture to
descend, as the reptile continued coiled round the tree,
occasionally by a muscular movement showing that its
vital powers were not wholly extinct. At length, af
ter some hours' solitary confinement on his perch, and
shouting until be was hoarse for aid, Capt. C
had the satisfaction to see a number of villagers ar
rive, by whom the monstrous animal was completely
destroyed. Capt C bad no means of accurate.
