lITTSBURGH, FRIDAY, MAY 23, 1845
AS Ovettsiartr.—We observe in several of the
Mitten papers en advertisement from the Chief of the
Illereau of Navy Yards and Dock*, inviting proposals
iltiftleideilveri - Of Coal at certain, pohirs. In publish- I
liar k iiitis notice we think it was an oversight on the
part of the human in not bringing it under the eyes of
her Pittettirgh Coal Merchants. as we are certain
Ott many of them would have put in pioposnls to
write if the points designated. The facilities
'far t.ldilt'; Pittsburgh Ceal at some of the yavis
are better than those of any other Coal region in the t
-Urinary, and the quality of our article is much supe
riot and:the prices would certainly be much lower.
For instance, we observe that proposals are invited to l
deliver 100 tons of atti4racile coal at Pensacola.'
Now, it is known to every one that the Pittsburgh
merchants could take coal to Pensacola with almost
BS much ease as they can to New Orleans, and' that
ristO irould deliver them fora very small advance on
41g.Nrivr Orleans prices. The superiority of the aril
- slat which they would give is a very great conside
varlet it their favor. Our unmatched bituminous
lasi is certainly entitled to a preference over the best
anthracite in the country, and when we take into con
'ideation the low prices at which it could be furnish
!yore cannot but wonder that the Navy Department
~oeame. endeavor to procure it at practicable points,
instead of thecostly and very ordinary article for which
the .have advertised.
- • Virounderstand that Pitttsburgh Merchants, are now
delivering at New Orleans for pi ices not exceeding 15
cents a bushel, and it is not propable that they would
charge much more than this for delivering at Pensaco
/a. It is Obvious then, to every one that this is much
Cheaper than the anthracite can be furnished for nt
that point, and if superior quality is worthy the con
sideration of the Department, the Pittsburgh article
should not be forgotten.
We may remark, in ,connection with this subject,
that in the contracts for supplies of all the Depart
-arras, theatteraion of western bidders does not ap-
Tear to be desired. For every thing requited in the
Army, Navy or any other Department of the Govern
ment the west is prepared to supply, and for many of
the necessaries it is the only part of the country in
which they can be procured. But, strange as it is, it
ion* leestrue, that but few of The advertisements,
dthag proposals for these supplies are published in
western papers. They are inserted in the eastern
journals where they attract the attention of capitalists
on the seaboard, who prult to the "est and purchase
the supplies before the people of that part of the
country know that they have been advertised for the by
Departments.
‘Ve do not suppose that this apparent favoritism
shown of the eastern folks is intentional on toe part of
*We officers, but we have no'doubt that a different
siounse, which would give the citizens of the west as
wells* those of the east, an opportunity to bid for
stversunent contracts, would be more satisfactory to
tbe country.
• QUA writer in the Gautte, mentions the following
grittlemen as suitable persons to form the Whig Leg-
Hon. Harmer barmy, Hon. H. M. Brackenridge,
T. J. Bigham, and Robert Cassel.
This would be a first rate ticket for the leaders, and
as the gentlemen, would no doubt legislate on the
liVeliaterian principle, "let government take care of the
rich, and the rich will take care of the poor;" the
"humbler classes" will not hesitate to acquiesce in their
aomination.
'WM. would like to know how the editor of the
American makes out three "lomilocu" (meaning dem
•eeratic) papers in this city.
lita'They have an exhibition at Cincinnati of a mu
sical instrumentcalled the Piano Violin. It is a
combination of the Piano and Violin, and the inventor
expects that it will rival or eclipse Coleman's Lolian
Attachment. This expectation may, however, be con
sidered doubtful.
A SEASONABL6 Suooesriort.—A manager of the
theatre in Cincinnati, recently announced the theatre to
be illuminated by gas, manufactured from lard. One
evening the chandeliers played a series of fantastic
tricks, and were about taking leave of the audience,
when the manager was favored by a suggestion from
the pit—" Drive in another hog."
LOCXJAW.—It appears that a temedy.fur this hor
siblailisease has at last been discovered. The Jour
nal of Commerce records a cure by the application of
electricity. The patient was a young woman in whom
.the diseasn had been brought on by cold and fatigue,
'end the jaws had been closed five days. Ihe electro
galvanic apparatus was applied to both angles of the
jaw, and had not made forty revolutions before the
complaint was entirely removed.
"CONVICTION or • 1111.:RDERER.—In the court of
rAlawarter Sessions at Philadelphia, on Saturday, John
. ANON son of the late Richard Allen, Bishop of the
' Colored Methodist Church, was find guilty of mur.
der lathe seeond•dogree, for crushing the scull of a ne
aro man named Haines, with a hatchet.
SOVTUVRN Cuty•s.rrT.—Recently, John Weeks
kilted Rose Fathom., in Holmes . county, Mies.; Mo
ises Guess was killed by his brother Walter,,ln Atsila
eotusty,iiliss.; and B. M. Maywood rboopho

.. 17 -The New York Freeman's .../oarnaL, a paper
conductatl.with great ability, and warmly devutod to
the interests of Ireland, makes the remarks
'on Mr. O'Connell's conduct towards the United
States:
- -"Mr O'Connell is as Irish Statesmen, not en-Ameri
can. He is a monarchist, not a republican. Ho can
neither see, think, judge, act or •talk as a citizen of
our Republic, and it is quite unseasonable in any one '
.to expect that be should do so. Hems* our govern
ment and histitwions at a great distance, and from
under a corner of that cloud of prejudice as to every
thing American which pervades the poli:icial
atmos
jhere of Great Britain. With Mr. O'Connell'a views
and opinions, be is to a degree unable to understand
and admire 'hone more peculiar features of our Repub
. lie, in which we rejoice. He has in numerous instetn.
Gas, and upon sundry occasions, within the knowledge
of all who have watched his public course, and pa rioted
his published speeches and expressions, manifested ig.
*mince of our government and laws in very essential
points.' The last arrival brings • strung evidence of his
want of scented information as to the state of part ies
with us, upon a point too as to which an Areesicaa
ochre! bey could prompt hint.

We stopped at Madison, Ind., 100 miles below Cin
cinnati. It is, perhaps, the largest commercial town
in the State. Tho railroad from Madi,on to Indian
opolis, is completed about forty miles from the former
place. There are somo fine buildings in Madison.—
The best belongs to one Lanier, I believe, on officer
of the Suite Batik, who, like his brother bankers else
where, lives in good style.
We artived at Louisville, on the Bth. It will bear
no comparison with Cincinnati as to the amount of its
business,. There is none of that cheerful bustle and
activity which you see in Cincinnati, and which is so
grateful to the Pittsburgher. The streets are still
and lifeless, and by no means carefully cleaned. A
gentleman of intelligence with wlsoca I conversed, at
tributes the slow progress of Louisville to the exist
ence of slavery; be stry4. that, though the people can
not be suspected of abolitionism, he believes that four
of every sve of them are convinced of the disastrous
influence of slavery on their prospects, and would vote
for emancipation to take place at no distant day. The
Methodist Conference is in seition, and will go on to
divide the church into Northern and Southern sec
tions. The Baptists and Presbyterians, it is said, will
follow the example of the Methodists, aed many intel•
ligent citizens of this region, think that these religious
divisions will speedily be followed by a political di
vision of the Union. Let us hope that they will be
mistaken.

i• dull enough to the uneducated ear. I thcught the
fine looking Norwegian made most delightful sounds,
on what seemed Lobe a very common instrument. In
criticisms on Ole Bull's performances, I have often
heard of the abstraction of his manner while playing.
So entirely absorbed is he in the execution of his mar-1
vellous notes, that he appears entirely unconscious of
the presence of an audience, and teally seems startled
at their enthusiastic bursts of applause. This distin
tinguished musician is young and handsome, and it
is nut surprising that the marvel-makers should tell
stories of his taking romantic female hearts by storm.
The Falls of the Ohio, cannot now be passed by
boats, and as navigation is vet going on in all sorts of
crafts, the Portland Canal is doing a tremendous bu
siness. Thecharges fur passing boats, are shamefully
high—steam boats are charged 50 cents a .ton for
their measured tunagc; no matter whether they have a
pound of freight or not. The tolls upon the larger
boats which are passed through the lucks, vary from
I $lOO to $1 43. Flat boats are charged $1 per foot
of their length, no matter what their loading may be,
or how much there may be of it.

It has been the practice of Farmers to tie up fine

Eastern manufacuwers object to the practice altogeth
