PITTSBURGH, THURSDAY, MAY 22, 11145
"Tutor Ocrs".—The Gazette with regret, notices a
'turn out" for higher wages among the workmen in
Messrs. Bissels & Semple's, and Bailey, Brown &
Ca's Iron Works. The editor's regret "arises solely
from the influence the advance will have on the mar
ket," and imps:
"It must - be injutious - in the present !trite of affairs.
it is true that the business is very brisk, the demand
very - W*6, and the market inn very healthy condition.
The price of Bar iron is now lower here than at any
other point in the Union; and it is this fact, together
with the natural increase in the consumption, which
has given so great nn imretus to the trade. It is of
the greatest importance to its continuance that this
state. of things should remain undisturbed. The mar
ket, under such a condition of circumstances, must
grow stronger, and, with every nccession of this kind,
enhance the prospetity of the operatives."
Why this state of the iron business should be consid
ered a sufficient reason to deter the operatives in the
mill, from demanding an increase of wages, we cannot
understand. "Business is very brisk. the demand very
large. and the market in a very heah hy condition." and
of -ovirse this state of things will bring a larger profit to
the employer, require more labor from his workmen,
and . we do not think it unreasonable that they short hi,
under these circumstances, demand an increase -r
wages.
If the price of Par iron is lower here than at any
other point in the Unioo.a small advance cannot in
sure our market. The reputation of the Pittsburgh
article is will established, and un!ess the increase
would be quite unreasonable, it would cause no dial
nutioo in the sales of th , . manufacturer. But, ts edo
not believe that it would be necessary for them to in
etease the prices if they would seise the wages of the
workmen. We believe they could do it at the present
prices and still realize a handscme profit on their
manufactures.
No men were benefitted more by the Tariff of
1842, then the Iron Manufacturers of our city. We
were told of one house that would realize over $lOO,-
000, on the iron they had manufacturetl, by the in
crease ofprices that was caused by the pegs's ge of t he tar
iff. But vre did net hear of any corres pond ng ncrease in
the wages of ;he operatives; they had to toil on at the
old prices without thinking to ask for an advance.
We have always been the advocates of a system of
protection for not only our manufacturing, but for ev
ery other productive interest of our country.' And
when thisprotection is afforded, we do not think it un
reasonable for those by whose toil and skill capitalists
'expect tn_ gain large returns nu their investments, to
demand n small increase of the portion,' of the wealth
they produce
We are told thnt the great object of n tariff is to
protect the productive labor of the country. If this in
true, the tariff of '92, has not been very successful in
accomplishing ire object, for the labor of the country
receives no granter reward now, than it did before the
adoption of that law; but the capital that speculates
on labor, pockets all its advantages.
We have not heard what are the demands made by
the workmen in the mills ref - eyed to above, but we can
not suppose that they are unreasonable, and we hope
the employers will see the propriety of granting their
request.
nes FuNn.—Tbe fund for the relief of the suf.
fems by the fire is reported to amount to $181,977 63.
It will no doubt exceed $llOO,OOO. Many arc anxious
to know when - the Councils intend to distribute this
fund, or whether they have yet settled on any equitable
plan for slotting it to the sufferers. We do not sup
pose that any of the plans that have been suggested
through the public prints, would meet with the appro
bation of the Councils, as all of them contained pro
visions that did not accord with the wishes of the
contributors. We have not heard any thing on this
subject, of late, and we would like to know in what
manner the Councils propose to proceed, so that we
can give the much desired information to the public.
The time of distribution, too, is ticsiously required.
of the money is to be given to the sufferers. Hundreds
have been waiting since the 10th of lust month to re
ceive a portion of this relief which has been gener
ously provided for their wants by the citizens of other
places, and if they are compelled to wait much longer
they may well exclaim that their "sufferings is intoler
able." We hope, fur the cause of humanity, that an
early move will be made in this matter, and that the
messeywill be paid over to those for Vl hOM it was in;en
-
sled.
all'How is it that nu r PittAhureh exclringea full to

ofthe Inte'disestreus fire nt that city, we were nt first
compelled todepend on other and nrivatexotircea for in

without a single paper from Pittsburgh, though there
are several deifies published in that city. and our ex

NLNV YORX, May 18, 1845.
I have just arrived in this great Babel from the
1 1
more peaceful and lady-like city of Boston. To-day
is cold and wet—every person I meet is grumbling at
the weather and talking about the great Race. The
excitement is not yet over; and will not be fur some
days. The Southerners are crow ing over their triumph,
while the folks here North, are blustering and swear
ing—say it was not fair, there were jockeying—and
want another trial. There is a rumor that the owner
of Peytona is going over the water, with a view to try
the English nags.
The new City Government is now organized. A
great many predictions are daily made as to the good
things which the new Mayor will do fur the people.
There is great room for reform in every direction—for
such streets are a disgrace to Alleghania. Pittsburgh,
with all its smoke and soot, in a more pleasant city.—
The fashiorable Broadway, of which so much has
been said and written, is not no very attractive, nor
indeed is it remarkably broad. Whether the new ad
ministration will, or can, do any thing in the woy of
street cleaning, remains to be seen. It will he an
Herculean task.

The newspiper business is over-:lone in this city.—
Many have been suspended, and it is supposed that
more o ill follow. There ore hosts of printers out of
employment; and to make the matter worse, Jours are
arriving, daily from abroad. They can't all live, that's
certain. And yet, bad ns this may appear, it is no
worse than other branches of business. Doubtless
there are hosts of lawyers, doctors, &c. starving fur
something to do.
The Infidels are down on Greely for charging them
with bring ugly. They think they look cc well as
most folks, all will say that Mr Greely was looking. at
Christians who attended the convention as spectators.
Thus it stands.

pea hes, p own in a hot house. They are enough to
make one's mouth water; just at this season, of all
others, when green luxuries are scarce.
Ex-Gtv. Seward is here. on professional business.
The new Postmaster is. I think, a popular appoint
ment. The Whigs think he'll do. He appoints sixty
five clerks.
The New Yri-k papers have given you, ere this, an
account of the Hoboken murder. This is the nest
excitable on the topics. How long it will last I don't
know; but etch-penny editors will make it do till
something singular occurs, which, in this region, will
not be long.
There was a fire in some part of the city this morn

It ended in smoke.
The small-pox is prevalent here; some appear
alarmed about it.

GREAT FOOT RACE.-It IS said that a great font
race is to come off over the Beacon course, Hoboken,
N. Y. on or about the 15th of next month, for $l5OO
to $3000• In this affair it is expected that there will
he ..ome native agility displayed, thst will astonish
pedestrians throughout the world.
MARYLAND STATE TAX.-it appears that many
of the counties of the good Whig State of Maryland,
have taken a bold position in favor of repudiation
and refuse to pay the taxes necessary to carry on the
goveroment,and the authorities find it imperative to a
dopt some means that will compel them to act like hon
est citizens. The Anapolis Star says, the Attorney Gen
eral, Mr Richardson, has gone to Calvert County, to
advise with the Commissioners of that county upon
tho subjea of the Tax laws; should they refuse to ex_
ecute them, the Governor will appoint a collector of
the Tax and demand the assessment books of the
Commissioners. In the event of a denial to deliver
over the assessment books, it is the intention of the
Attorney General to apply to the court now in session
for a mandamus against the Commissioners, or a sub
!Jana ducts leerier.

Jou N C CALHOT: s .—Mr. Calhoun (says the Pendle
ton Messenger,) is now at his residence near this
place, busily engaged in agricultural pursuits. He
seems to have entirely recovered from the attack of
sickness which he had et Washington. We under
stand that his correspondence is large, and we think
it nothing but right to remind those who write to him
on businesi of their cwn, that lie no longer enjoys the
franking privilege, and that his postage bill must be a

havo formed a company to run a letter-express on the

suspending bits rf meat before them by a rod ex

said, with prodigious velocity, and have the advantage
over our engines, of giving out no cinders to the eyes
of passengers.'
SALICER E. -A writer in the Washington Union
says, it is understood to be the design of the medical
department of the army, to have this medicine tried on
s large scale, at one or two posts, on our south-western
frontier, with the view of determining its precise value.
Salicene, as its name imports, is obtained from the
bark of the willow. It is prepared in France, and
appears in the form of a clear white powder. It pos
sesses many of the proprieties of quinine, and in cases
of extreme debility, is preferred to it by many judi
cious physicians.

/ NEW JERSEY Tstutotta tn.—We learn, says the
i Philadelphia Enquirer, that during the last session of
the Now Jersey Legislature, acompany was incorpora
ted to establish the Elixtro-Magnetic Telegraph
through New Jersey. The stock will no doubt be
promptly subscribed, and we also learn that the gentle
men engaged in this enterprise, are investigating, not
only the merits of the Morse Telegraph in this coun
try, but of the Wheatstone and other Telegraphs in
Europe. They are moreover about to avail them
selves of the information of a distinguished American
engineer now in Europe, who is examining the various
lines and plans."

A!I 01110.—The London News says, it would disa
buse the public mind of a vulgar error in relation to the
sufferings of those Who are hung. They are generally
very slight. In the act of execution, "the tooth ofthe
sixth vertical vertebrxe. which in life is held from press

and life and sensation are extinguished together.

LATER FROM TEXAS
The, steamship New York, Capt Wright, arrived at
New Orleans on the I Oat instant, from Galveston,
whence she sailed on the Bth inst. She brings the
Picayune papers from Galveston to the 7th. Among
her passengers were Major Dunelson, the U S Charge
and Gov Yell, of Arkansas.
Gen Houston, with his wife and son, arrived at
Galveston on the 3d instant, horn his farm on the
Trinity. He proposed to visit the seat of Government
of Texas, and will then come at once to the U. States.
he being extremely solicitous to see Gen Jackson once
again before the death of the latter, which appears so
imminent. He yields to Annexation as a matter of
necessity. if not of choice.
Mr Wickliffe the ex-Postmaster General, was at
Galveston on the 7th inst.
There is no limit to the enthusiasm ofthe people of
Texas in regard to annexation. The only trouble with
them appears to he, whether to meet in convention
and form a constitution fur "the State of Texas" prior
or subsequent to the meeting of Congress.
The Hon E Allen, the acting Secretary of State, ar
rived at Houston on the 22d ult. The Telegraph as
sures us that he is an ardent friend of annexation. and
is desirous that ''the great measure should be consum
mated at the earliest practicable period."
The papers have some rumors of disaffection to the
Mexican government in some of her Northern depart
ments. The "wish may be father to the thought." in
this case. We have probably as late advice. here as
to the movements of General Arista as have been re
ceived in Texas.
THE CAPTURED SLAVERS
Tt e Boston A dvertisergi ves the following particulars
relative to the schooner Spitfire, brought into that pot--
as a slaver:—
"List of passengers on hoard the Spitfire at thetime
of her seizure, and who are sent in her to the United
States: Peter Flowery, captain; Ferdinand Weitz,
William Otter, Henry Tanferman, William Pense,
Frederick Ennera, Antonio Del Mijo, Ebenezer Jack
son.
"Some of the Spitfire's crew were very troublesome
on the passage, and two of them, a Spaniard and at
negro, who quarrelled, were brought in ironed. Lieut.
Ried found it necessary to use the utmo=t vigilance,
and has not been undressed since he took command of
the vessel. The prisoners were committed to die U.
S. authorities, and the proper measu es taken for their
arraignment.
..The Spitfire is a clipper-built schooner of 130 tons.
She is flush on deck—has two small houses aft, one on
each quarter, and a small trunk to the cabin. Her
bulwarks are high for her size, and she has a tier of
ports on each side, but no guns mounted. Outside she
is painted a shade whiter than blue, and inside buff
colour. Her cabin, which has not accomodations for
more than six white persons, we understand contained,
nt one time, 50 female skives!
"She is rigged in nearly the same style as the U. S.
revenue cutter Hamilton, excepting that .he has a
fore-topgallant yard aloft. At present she is light, ani
weather-beaten, but if painted and properly trimmed.
she would look very well. She is now at anchor off
the navy yard, Charlestown."
Further particulars of the Hoboken Murder—
Suicide and Insanity of Mrs Pennoyer.—We have
gleaned some further particulars of this strange and
melancholy affair, which if correct, places the murder
ess in a somewhat (Efferent light before the public.
This unfin innate woman, until recently. had been em
ployed as a domestic in the family of :11r. A. C. Van
Epps. w h o states that she had invariably shown the
most kind and amiable disposition,—that she was a
di-tuber of the Presbyterian Church, and the mother of
a large and interesting fa-rtily, fur whom she always
manifested the deepest maternal regard, and invariably
imparted to them instructions becoming a mother and
a christian. Mr. Van Epps olso says that fur some
time previous to her leaving his family. lie had observl
ed a strange and singular manner apparent in all her
actions, and he was led to remark his conviction of
her insanity. Her children, also, have the same opin
ion. We have also heard that Mrs. Pennoyer had at
tended Htr brother in previous sickness wit h much rare
and attention. Heryuungest child, an intelligent girl
of about 12 years of age is now at the house 0f Mr.
Van Epps, and the scene which took place when her
mother's death was revealed to her, is declaredao have
been agonizing in the extreme. Mrs. Pennoyer, du
ring her confinement in prison. manifested but little
feeling—refusing to partake of food, and resolutely de•
claret! her innocence to the last. She was briried on
Wednesday on Bergen Hill.
Theodore Pennoyer end William Dean, who were
arrested on Thursday, on suspicion of being concern
ed in the murder of Scudder were yesterday examined
and discharged, as nothing could be found against
them.—N. Y. Herald.
