In/TORS PITTSBURGH, SATURDAY, MAY 24, 1345 o r The Gazette, with its usual courtesy, prunosse ees our notice of the "turn out" of the we - Hutu:llo some of the Rolling Mills, en attempt to gain pope- . levity among the poor. This is a rin that will never laid at its door, as lung as it can find fifteen whig lenders willing to given proper number of reasons for Its seeking popularity from another class, No body would ever think of accusing the Gazette of doing any thidg to "benefit the poor," or even to gain their good opinion. Our kind heattPd cotemporary knows very. well that it would be hard to find fifteen poor men who Would be willing ur able to give three thousand dollars to-a journal that was ready, t) betray its early friends, provided it could receive an adequate cossid , oration for the patriotic act, and hence it has no in clination to seek popularity with "poor people." We do nut object to its course; it has a perfect right to pursue its own system of popularity huntiog,and pander is those who are alile and willurg to pay it for aiding -their wishes, but we think it is ungenerous of it to de• nounec a cotemporary for pursuing an horest path. and endeav3ring to protect the interests of the rich and poor alike. Although the Gazette hes shown that the iron busi ness is very brisk, the demand very large and the market very healthy—a slate of things which must of necessity inctease the profits of the employers—it has net attempted to show that this prosperity has been of any advantage to the workingmen, or that they have received one cent more for their labor than they did when the boldness was not so brisk. If he can con vince the public that the profits realized to the em ployers from the labor of the opetativea in the Mills, bave not been greatly increased. he may be able to find an excuse for his attack upon the workmen, bat until he dues, it will require some evidence more creditable than the assertions of the Gazette to make the public believe that the prodncers of wealth have not a right to ask for a fair remuneration for their labor, when the profits realized from that labor have been greatly augmented. 4.7 ii.fer from the tenor of the Gazette's artic!e, that the editor is well acquainted with the merits of Ms dispute between the workmen and employers, and knows what increase of wages they demand. If he does, he should have been impartial enough to bave stated the facts, so that the public would be able to judge whinh party is in the wrong. But this would not suit our neighbor's views very well. To do so, it would be necessary for hint to state that subsequent to tile passage of the Tariff of 1842. the wagesofthe workmei was redneed, end that all the increase they now ask is a taunt to formrr prices. This is, we are told, the whole extent of the demand made by the hands, and we leave it to the Gazette, itself, to say whether it is unjust or exorbitant. Ths editor says, ''we happen to know that many of tLetie hands are staunch whigs, and they perfectly =demand who brought about the passage of the Tariff act of 1342." If they de, e o hope they re gard, with proper feelings of indignation, the ef forts made by the ahig party through Adams, Owsley and other leaders, to defeat that Tariff and leave the manufacturing interests of the country without pro tection and the Government without revenue. If these "staunch whigs" are each very knowledgable men, pethaps they also know that the first man -that assail ed the Tariff of 1842 in Congress, and endeavored to have the duty on IRON taken off, was Psotstx, a leading Whig politician of New York. If they have mot this information will the editor of the Gurette en- 'lighten them, even at the risk of becoming obnoxious to the charge of seeking to gain "popularity among that class." If we can rely on the Gazette's state went, an advance of ic. per lb. on the price of iron would be sufficient to meet, not only the increase of wages, but also the advanco that has taken place in the price of metal. This 13 sufficient to show tha t their demand is extremely moderate and that it would take but little from the increasing profile of the em ployers to grant them all they ask. We hope they will do it, and thus "benefit the poor," notwithstand ing our neighbor thinks it very wrong fur a public journal to advocate a policy that would tend to such a result.

This is the title under which Mr Reid claims ownership, and which was lately resisted by the settlers upon the lands. W. learn horn the Lee County Democrat that this tract of about 119,000 acres was sold at sheriff's Ws in 1841 to satisfy judgements in favor of Messrs Edward Johnson and - Brigham, and rendered them for services as commissioners appointed under a law of the Wisconsin legislature to make division of the half breed lands. At this sale rale Mr Reid be came tbo purchaser of the tract foi the sum of $2884 66, and claims under this tide. Messrs Johnson and Brigham brought suit, and obtained judgment against "owners of Half Breed lands in Lee county." But it Is contended that no person was sued, since some of the "owners" live in St Louis, some io Prairie du Chien, some io Canada, &c.; and the writ. without specifying the natite of any ono person, was returned as served la ono day.

MLR P.-1 write oe the shore of the mighty Mie sissippi—and dearly has my kind and hospitable .en tertainer proved the , might of that immense riverr.- for, glace the earthquake was first felt in ilia vegion, the banks have been giving way, and he has rimmed his house back three times, and is now making sr- Tangements to remove back from the river once Last yenr his beautiful and lament garden, which ern braced four acres, was half destroyed, and be expects that the next rise of high water will reach his resi deuce. So he is making his arrangements to leave the dangerous vicinity. His case is but one of thou sands.. - All the old dwellers cm the banks of the Mis sissippi, have had to remove their' houses back once, if not two or three times. Every neighborhood is prOvided with a set of heavy, low wheels, whereon the houses, which ate. all of frame, (there are not ten brick houses in this county,) are placed—a capstan is fixed at some distance ahead, a rope attached to the vehicle, and then a couple of yolcesef oxen are placed at the capstan bars, and the house "goes • ahead," or, to use a steamboat phrase, "gets a lick back." When the banks begin to cave in, the catastrophe is indica ted by great agitation in the water at some distance from the shore—it bubbles and boils for a few minutes, and soon the dweller on the river side will sea his gar den, his corn-crib, or perhaps his house, slide grace fully into the roaring ftiod. There Is a layer of quick sand, of about six feet in thickness, which commences about five feet below the surface. When the water reaches that the danger is greatest. There has been no shock cf earthquake here of any great consequence for more than two years. Slight rumblings are felt once in a month on an average, hut at very irregular:in tervals. Perhaps five or six months will pass with out any shock whatever. There are two spots in this vicinity which were the sites of beautiful little lakes before Ifil , that are now covered over with a rich growth of forest trees and underwood,—some of the trees are forty or fifty feet high. In looking over the country you will meet with spots of sand, from ten to fifty feet square, formed during earthquaks. by what is called "sand blows," where sand, aster, and pieces of charred wood were thrown tip like a water spout at sea, some ten or twenty feet. All these terrors, however, are forgotten, and the country is fast filling up with industrious and thriving people. Notwith standing all the disagreeableness I have mentioned, the old settlers are much attached to the country, and the new ones are delighted with it. I am not sur prised at this, for there could not be a more beautiful and fertile region. The soil is a rich sandy lo ,m, of an inev.h•rustible quality. There is not a bill fur forty miles, and you may see enclosed beautiful lavel fieldscf one hundred acres in extent. I have been shown fields which have been cultivated for sixty years, and which now produco fifty bushels of corn to the acre. The new ground yields more than this. The farmers con fine themselves to the raising of corn, although wheat, hemp, and even cotton would grow abundantly. I have seen a very fine field of wheat, which will be ready for the sickle in a week or ten days. To give you an idea of the great profits of raising corn here, I will mention a fact I have on reliable authority, that one man near this place averaged $350 revenue from the crop pro duced for each hand on his farm! His hands areslavee, of course. The site of the old Lown of New Madrid k about of a mile from the present shore of the Mississippi and over the spot where the town was first built, the water is from 20 to 40 feet deep. The house occupied by the Commandant here, when Louisiana belonged to Spain, is still standing, and in good repair, although it has been moved back three times, It was built in 1792. The climate here is much milder than ours. Tho early flowers are dying. Green peas are no longer a rarity—and strawberries, mulborties and cherries are fully ripe. Perhaps the's, is no part of our country, where roads can be so easily made as here, and yet, owing to the defects in the laws fir making local roads or keeping them in order, there is so place where roads are so much needed. A few enterprising citizens are asking a grant of some refuse lands from the general government, add if they obtain them, they propose to make a-road actors the country from this point in a westwardly direction, towards Arkansas, and the new home of the Choctaws, Creeks, &c. The improve ment would be of immense value to the State. They have several saw and grist mills, and the ce dar and cypress forests, furnish the very brat materials for building,. Some of the mills send a g r eat d ea l o f lumber to New Orleans. Since the country has be gan to improve, the health of the people has also im proved. Many of the diseases which afflicted ate first settlers are now unknown here. 10 7 ' Five hundred men are engaged in the business connected with the working of stone quarries at .Q.utn cy, Mass.—The quarries! are twelve in number, the largest amount of stone got out from any one cparry was 20,000 tons a year.

In a speech at the Repeal Association, Mr. O'Con nell said the Repeal cause never stood so high as at present. By the confession of their opponents, they were irresistible if they kept within the law.

He continued at some length to inculcnie the paramount necessity of obedience to the constituted authorities.

The Maynooth Endowment Bill is a measure of this description, entirely devoid of any obnoxious provision., and brought forward in a statesmanlike conciliation. A good measure in itself, and entitled to gratitude, but immeasurable short of the substantial justice due from England, and which can never be obtained save by the restoration of our domestic Legislation. Whilst the Irish brooded in sorrow and irritation, but in si lent acquiescence, over the grievances which afflicted their country, no relief was afforded—no conciliation I suggested by the Government. On thecontrary, even in our earlier movements, we were emphatically told that 'concession"— that is to say, justice to Ireland—l had long attained its limits.

"The disease was inspissation of bile, and not the common influenza, as first reported, althoughsvmptoms of that malady also existed. The King has expressed great anxiety on the subject of M.
