EDITORS PITTSBURGH, FRIDAY, AlAi -9:18-45 Mr. CLit'a EXla•v•awycx. —A statement has Seen published, setting forth that Mr Clay's debts have all been paid off by his friends. The Tribune gives the following account of the man ner is which this generous act was performed : "The troth is this: Mr. Clay. who has not, for many years, incurred or owed a debt on his own ac count, had involved himself by endorsing fora relative who became deeply embarrassed and failed. The dehts . came upon Mr Clay to such an extent that his property mast have been swept away to pay them. The circumstances came to the knowledge of some of • Mr Clay's Political friends and admirers (few of whom know him personally,) and they quietly subscribed tha sme necessary to relieve him from embarrassment. The first intimation he had of it was by the return of his cancelled notes." How much more creditable to the a big party is this relierof Mr Clay from pecuniary embarrassment, than their creating a fund to support the extravagant and dissipated habit, of Daniel Webster. If the Tribune is correct, Mr Clay's difficulies were not caused by his own mismanagement, but resulted from a too gener ous confidence in the integrity of others. But Web utter', ease has nn such redeeming aspect; his warmest admirers admit that he has no sense of pecuniary obli gatiom and that, if be had hiswill , the national Treasury would he inadequate to support his extravagance. For years he has been the 'big beggerman" of the whit party, and he looks to it for the means necessary to maintain his dissipation as naturally as the most helpless mendicant does to the overseers of the poor for the aid allowed him by law. The party has time after time raised contribution. for his supforr. To send him on a mission to England they subscribed a ram that would have been an independence for a man of ordinary desires, and on the same occasion they pur chased for him • Shit of clothes in which he was to appear among the British aristocracy. In addition to the amount received from his friends in America, he also received a large sum from the English stockjob bers as a reward for his opinion in elation to their Saancial speculations in the United States. Besides theme Fit.rtixan alms. he has been the recipient of the most extravagant fees fur legal services; but it seem. he is still poor,and as a certain remedy for his pover ty the whigs have funded $lOO,OOO, the profits of which they think will be sufficient to keep him from future want, and to make him a faithful representa tive of their in'erests in the U. S. Senate. With all Clay's devotion to the principles of modern whiggerv, we do not believe that, to support habits of person al extravagance, he would ever become an almaman on his party. There is Still a feeling of democratic independence lingering in his heart that would cause him to revolt at such a positien. But ‘Vebster is a different man, he received his early political education in another school, he never knew what it wt,s to feel as a democrat, and through life he has always been willing to say to all who had gifts to bestow—"the smallest favors thankfully received and larger ones in proportion." THE CASE OF Wet. H. Dusx.--Our readers will remember that, by some singular means, an indict ment was found against this gentleman in one of the Philadelphia Courts, for having, on the instructions of the proper authorities, attempted to prevent a band of outlaws and incendiaries from destroying one of the Churches of that city. Mr Dunn has, for several months past been endeavoring to hate the matter brought to trial, and at length it wns called up on last Monday in the Supreme Court, b;-fote Judge Ro gers. We learn from the Spirit of the Times, that at the opening of the rase, the Attorney General, J. K. Eerie, Esq.. submitted to the opinion of the Court whether the indictment against the defendant was sustainable, whereupon J A and Henry M. Phillips, Extra the counsel for the defendant remarked that they were about submitting such an objection as that in such a spirit of candor by Mr Kane, and would take his Honor's opinion on it. Judge Rodgers having the Indictment, said that the Counsel were most correct in the opinion they formed; that the De fendant committed no offence and thought a Nol. pros. should be entered, which the Attorney General did, and Mr Dunn was at once discharged. This is as it ought to be; and Mr Dunn from the first dny of this most unwarrantable persecution asked but for justice and a trial. At length it came and with it an honora bleacquittsJ, or more correctly speaking en acknow ledgement that no grounds for charge had existed.— Three.cases taken for prottetion . to the Supreme Court—two of them resu't in acquittal, and the re maining one turned out of Court. Sr. CLAIR B•NlC.—Speaking of the failure of this Bank, the Cleveland Plain Deller of the sth say,: As yet we are unable to give any definite information as to the cause of this failure, or any opinion as to the worth of the bills. The extensive business operations of the Smiths, in which this money has been exclu steely saki, and the confusion of their affairs, which the suspension of the hank has.oecasioned,•renders it impossible fer any one to know the extent of this fail ure. It is.probabiy ikithout a parallel, save in the in moue of the United States Bank. Depositors in this chy have mnvtly been paid off. The hills are consid ered wonbless, or nearly so, by those best advised on the 'abject. The indebtedness of the Smiths to the Bank is part lisecured by mortgage on real estate in Ohio and Pdizhigao, but the bank is obliged to take its ownbills ift payment of Its debts, and this circumstance may not Meet the value of said tolls any farther than they maybe wantrd to redeem said mortgage. The indi vidual paper of the Smiths is at present greatly depre elated, and may•share in part the fate of the bank.— All is mystery at present. Or The Brooklyn 'Advertiser ha+ an ainw,ine sto ry of a decided hog in that city. A man assisting a family to move from a house in Contord street, placed •large looking glass on the sidewalk, and entered the 'home for some other ankle, intending to be absent but a moment or so, A sow, with a litter of smell pigs, came grunting alone, and when opposite the glass stop pa. Seeing another sow in the glass, with a small family, bar bristles were soon un end, and the trIIVI in the glass made the same warlike demcnstrations. On witsseasinr this she made one lunge,smashed the glass to atoms, annihilated her antagonist, and then giving a sigatllicatit grunt. walked leisurely away.

To the thousands who have voyaged on our 'Western rivers with this ex lemplar for steam-boat captains,it is unnecessary to say any thing in his praiso. But to those who have no ' experience in Western steam-boat navigation, it is but just to say that they cannot do better than to make their first trip with Capt. C. and his efficient and gen tlemanly officers. The cheap rate of traveling on the Ohio has often beena subject of remark; but it may still be news to many, that the cost of a passage from Pittsburgh to Cincinnati is but 4.5 of a cent per mile! The distance is 500 miles, and the rate of fare but $4. The Clip per left Pittsburgh with 75 cabin passengers. In pas sing Wheeling, afierall the three stages, of which the Times toasts, had come in, she obtained 8 more.— This will seem to illustrate the difference between the travel through the two places. I am assured that there are more passengers taken on at Beaver and Wellsville, and other points between Pittsburgh and Wheeling, than at Wheeling itself, with all its three stages. A nother disadvantage under which Wheeling passengers labor, is the unequal chance they have of obtaining berths, as compared with those who ship at Pittsburgh. In fact, when there are many persons traveling, as there are at present, they cannot obtain berths at all, but must take their chance for a mattress on the cabin floor, or wait with annoying anxiety for the next boat from Pittsburgh,—which may be crowd ed like the first. Such are some of the advantages of the Wheeling route. Parkersburgh is a pleasant little town, but is engaged just now, in the hopeless business of the frog -in the fable, v.lio wished to puff himself up to the size of the ox. The good people of Parkersburgh can talk of nothing, think of nothing, but the rail-road. I remark ed to one of them—"Tuu bare a pretty little town here."—lle replied with animation—"o }es, sir, and it will probably be the terminus of the rail-road." T ventured adoubt.—He said there was no question of the fact. He had some fears, he said, that Pittsburgh would be able to obtain the road, by the operation of the sympathy aroused by the late fire. But as that had not induced the Legislature to grant the Hata o f way, he had no fears on the subject. Parkersburgh is now held up as a great point, and travelers are toad ' they can be taken through Winchester to Battimote in (we believe) 48 hours. some persons doubt this, however. The difference in the appearance of the Obis and Kentucky shores of the rivorlias been remarked by all who ever passed down the Ohio. While the prosper. ity of Ohiu is apparent, Kentucky seems to languish. Slavery in Kentucky is thecause generally assigned fur this difference. It is very strikingly seen in Mays ville and the little town of Aberdeen, opposite to it on the Ohio side. While Maysville seems to be improving very little, its rival looks as if it were vigorous and spicily increasing. If drug shops would save a town, Maysville must soon "get better." Its many drug shops is the most striking feature about it. Cincinnati presented an appearance as we approach ed it, well calculated to give en idea of importance.— A rail-road car, full of people, was seen coming into the city on the road which has been cornmenced and finished 30 miles towards Xenia. ret the yards,in the suburbs, just above the city, there were several saw-mills, arid ten steam-boats on the stocks and two new ones just put into the water. There were also an iron mill and other factories. It struck me that the fact of having all her business c.mc.entrated, as it is, makes the business and population of Cincinnati seem greater abroad. There are but few boats built in or close to Pittsburgh ; yet she in reality builds all that are built at Elizabethtotsm, Shousetown, Fre.-dom, &c.., &c. The city of Cincinnati k furnished with water works snd lighted with gas. Considering that the coal for the latter is procured from Pittsburgh, the gas should be better. and there should be more.of it. Our peo ple world complain very much of Mr CRISP. if he were to give them, for a single night, such gas as the people of the Queen city are obliged to put up with. I have not noticed any curious doings or sayings worth recording, except a gentleman who was gallant ing a lady, and whittling a stick at the same time. This would have shocked an Englishman very much. Yet both were estimable and well-behaved people. A western gentleman wished to convey an idea of the durability of cedar—said he. "no man has lived long enough to see a good sound - piece of cedar rot." LIB ERA L ITT. -A Huntingdon county farmer writes Olen. J. K.

Tae MYSTERIOUS PACKAGE.—Tbe person who I imposed a bundle of worthier!, paper upon one of the Hartford Banks, a short time since, for a package of notes amounting to 815,000, was a citizen of Cleve land, named Pomeroy. Speaking of the develops meet, the Plain Dealer says, -rt is now believed that Mr Pomeroy, the partner of Mr Woolson in the Hard ware business, is the man whe ptacticed the deception first upon his partner, and through him upon the Hart ford Bank. Mr Woolson is believed by all to be entirety in nocent of any knowledge of fraud in the transaction, What-has led to the conclusion that Pomeroy com mitted the fraud, is tha discovety of forged acceptan ces of drafts to the an3onut of several thousand dui lars, discounted in one instance by a Cleveland Ban ker, which are clearly traceable to him, and the fact that one week ago said Pomeroy left this city pre tending to go to New York, and has not since been heard of. AN ANTI - R-ENTLR at Sand Lake, N. 1., who had turned, was assailed by a party of "Indians" lately, who resolved to cut out his tongue to keep him from making disclosures.

The Canal Loan.—Tbe Chicago Democrat of Wednesday contains the notice for the election, on tho 27th of May next, et the Exchange Bank in New York, of two trustees on the part of the subscribers to the canal loan, in accordance with the law of 1943. The contract was signed and the negotiation closed by the American bond holders, and laid before the Boston committee to receive their action in behalf of rho bond holders in Europe. The committee went so far es to order the electien of trustees, that there might be no delay, bat were nnwiling to close the contract entirely for the' foreign bond holders before they had seen it. We shall probably hear definitely of their final diaterrninntion in the matter by the middle of May.—Oftatto (11i. ) Free Trader. HOW THEY GET - ; . ' ; The principle pursuit of the inhabitants in many places near the sea mist of the southeree elates, is that of getting turpentine. It.is made from the pines which there abound, almost to the exclusion of every other forest tree. Many persons have no other means of a livelihood than this employment, especially those of the poorer classes. As soon as the sap begins to run in the season, a notch is made near the root of the trees, to catch the turpentine. This is called baying the tree.—Then it is dipped out, generally with a simple gourd, into buck. ets, which are emptied into the barrels on the spot.. These are ready for market as soon as they are filled. Minother small portion of the tree is then pared off d the sap again descends freely into these recepta cles. Under this opetation, a pine will usually live for six or seven years, and is used in this manner until it is thus deprived of its bark and a small pot , Lion of its trunk, to the height of ten orfifteon feet. One man, it is celuclated, will attend to 7000 boxes in a season, and will collect from 100 to 130 bawds of turpentine in a year. The old trees, when they can yield no more turpen tine, are cut up into small pieces, and then piled in heaps to make tar, which is only 'turpentine heated and smoked. The whole is then covered carefully with dirt, and a smothering fire is kept up beneath. As the wood slowly burns our, the tar runs, from be neath into gutters prepared for its reception. While burning, the kiln is carefully watched day and night. One hundred barrels of tat are usually made at one burning. When the kiln is hurtled out, the charcoal still remains from the wood, and be comes also an article of use and value. How wisely are the provisions of Providence a dapted to the use of man! Thus pine, growing as it does on the poorest of lands, affords support to thou sands of persons. How useful is the tree! - It produces the turpentine and when worn out fur this purpose, tar and coal are obtained from it; from the wood are made, also, the barrels to convey the tar and turpentine to market. The whole process is carried on in the very forests where nature has planted this bea . utiful tree. The road in these regions often runs for miles through these pine woods; and I know of no sight more singular than for the eye to rest upon these trees, thus rising up on every hand, naked and stripped fur many feet from the gt Quad. In their resemblance, the imagination pictures many things. have often beheld thm silent and majes tic, and thought tbey resembled an immense army drawn out in columns, and at rest. At night, especial ly by clear moonlight, the scene becomes impressive. There they stand, naked, and white, and sole.nn, like the tomb stones of some vast grave yard, impressing the mind with serious and profitable reflections.

A MooNstilsc SrEcutvrios.--The Lausiville Journal thus cat icaturcs the Astronomical Society of Cincinnati: "It has been a customary phrase of contempt for any enterprise of a visionary and ridiculous character to call it a 'moonshine speettlatiOn:—Our neighbors of the pork city have, however, undertaken to realize profit from the identical operatic,' itself. Not sails; fled with the recent rise in pork and tiotes lard, nor with the splendid visions of wealth that' glow through their new bank bill, they are now resolved not to spec ulate in water lots, or anything else subtertaneaß or ' sublunary, but in the veritable moonshine itself. They have" erected their new telescope and charge their citizens two dollars per capita fora peep at the i moon! Let no man doubt any longer the genius, en- 1 t. terprise, and resources of the Queen city. Not only 1 are all the United States made tributary to the famous I city, but even the I man in the moon is compelled to in remade her wealth. The astronomicial society Of CM -1 cinati has discovered more than the mysteries of the i empyrean. It has discovered the philosopher's stone. Whatever it touches turns to gold. When John Quincy Adams visited that city at the invitation of the society to lay the corner stone of the observatory, the people vv ho desired to see and hear theold man eloquent were charged two bits per head for a. sight of him in the grounds of the society. And the prnceeds of the speculation were placed in the treasury of the society. Why can't the astronomicels of that city get a charter from Ohio for the exclusive privilege of moon and star gazing, and bank upon it. The stock would be invalua ble and the currency would need no further regulation. They need not fear competition from any State, for we are certain that the moon at least sheds her favors almost exclusively on this famous society—for such a set of moon struck gentlemen it has not been the for tune of the world to know since the day it was ascer tained that that luminary was composed of green cheese. Dreadful Railroad Accident—On Saturday mot-- , sling last, as Mr. Edward Reamer, passenger conductor on the Reading Railroad, was going from his own car to another, on the outside. and looking backwards et something that had arrested his attention, he lost his life in a dreadful manner. The train passed, on the other track, the large locomotive and wood car of a coal train that were stationary at the moment, and a lamp on the engine struck him on the back part of the head and knocked him off between the trains: He was rolled in a space of four or five inches, .the entire distance of the locomotive and tender, and was terri bly crushed.
