1111)c nits t irtortiing Post. TROS• PHILLIPS It WM..H. SMITH. EDITORS VITTSBURGH, THURSDAY, JULY 17, 1845 - - fThe Gazette has a long-labored article in reply to our notice of Mr Btackenridge's extraordinuty ad dress to the voters of the county. His only excuse for Mr B.'s neglect to give his opinion on the Rail Road question, is, that Mr. Karns bad not made any accu sation against him on that score. If it was only necessary that he should reply to what Mr Karns said shoot him, why we should like to know, did he deem it of importance to inform the people, that Judge Wilkins is ten years older than he is, and that N. B. Craig is only one year younger? This inform- ation was given in reply to a newspaper article and was in no wise connected with Mr Karns' charges.— And wa may here remark, that in the very article which elicited hia attention to the ages of the gen• tlemen above named, a doubt was expressed as to his feeling.; on the Rail Road question and good reasons were given for supposing that he was unfriendly to that measure. But Mr B. overlooked this matter en tirely, end gave the people some very indefinite inform ation as to the relative ages of Judge Wilkins, AN. B. Craig and himself! This is, certainly, a most lame and impctent evasion of the question. BATTIMORE & QlllO RAIL ROAD. -A meeting the stockholder♦ of the Baltimore and Ohin Railroad was held in Baltimore on Saturday m orning, agreeably to a call from the President and Directors, to take into Consideration the question of accepting the law of the Legislature of Virginia, authorizing the construction of the Railroad through that State to the city of Wheel ing, on the Ohio river. The Patriot says:—There was a very large number of stockholders present, and a very decided majority of the stock was represented. The meeting was organized by calling John Nelson, Rag , to the ('hair, rind appointing J J Atkinson, Sec'y. Mr T S Alexander appeared as the representative of the stock subscribed by the city of Wheeling, but on examination it was ascertained that the subscrip tion of that city was made conditional, and that the conditions not having been fulfilled, the subscription VMS vacated some time since, as provided by law. Wheeling. it was therefore decided, is not a stock holder in the Company. A communication was received from Mr McLane, the President, which was read. It reviews at length the law of the Legislature of Virginia, and earnestly recommended that it should not be accepted. A motion was made to postpone action on the sub ject, at this time, but the motion was lost by a large f r ~. majority. MnMr3 P Kennedy then offered a preamble, setting forth at length why the law should not be accepted, and concluding by a rgsulution "respectfully declining to accept the law of Virginia," which was ananimons ly adopted. The meeting then adjourned. Mr. Lorimer received the following letter from N. B. Craig, F.sq., one of the delegates from this city. The public will observe that Mr C. is in high hopes that the object to which the citizens of Pitts burgh look with so much solicitude, will yet be ac complished. BALTIMORE, Saturday, 2 o'clock, P. M. Was. LABORER. Jr.— Deer Sir:—We arrived here at half past five on Thursday afternoon a good deal oppressed with the excessively hot weather, so much so as to feel unfit to enter upon our duties that evening. Yesterday morning, however, we were busy, We called first on the Wheeling delegates and found them much discour aged. We afterwards called at the office of the Com pany, where we were just in time4o have a long con versation with Mr M'Lane, who went in the afternoon to \Vashtngton. to prepare for his departure to Eng land on the 16. We found him quite decided against ac ceptance; so also were all the Directors with whom we conversed. In the course of our conversation, an spoke of a difficulty which we felt in the mode of ad dressing the Stockholders, and in the afternoon Judge flulvan and Mr Hoffman called upon us to state that the Wheeling delegates had handed a memo:int to the President, with a request that he would lay it before the Stockholder. at their meeting, and suggested that we should put sue the same course. Late that even ing end early this morning the memorials was preen red end copied in great haste and placed before the Stockholders. The Stockholders met nt 10 this morning and after having the report of the Engineers, a paper from Mr 2.P.Lene and our memorial• from I'. and W., a reso tion was passed unanimously respecting the Virginia law. So that that agony is now over, rind our citizenshave once more hope of securing the road, provided they at once rouse up and set to work in earnest. So far as we can see, there is a most favorable dis position here towards Pittsburgh. Yours respectfully, NEVILLE B.

The St Louis Era says the pending treaty be tween the United States Commissioner and the Pot awatamies, has been broken off, owing to a disagree ment about the price of the lands to be ceded, and a disinclination on the part of the tribe to be located seer the Pasvnees.

Mr. E. told them that they could not see Jeune, but they insisted. He then shewrd them the door and ordered them out, but they said that they would not leave with out seeing Jenne, and one of them struck the Consul on the head with a heavy cane, and knocked him down, and the rest fell upon him and beat him. lie hnd no servants at hand, and received no assistance until the police—hearing the noise of the scuffle—entered, and after considerable resistance from the Germans, suc ceeded in arresting them, not howevdr until the aggres sors had received several sabre curs.

Strange Course of Crime.—A few days since we mentioned the recurrence of the death of Mr. Knight Armstrong, of Burrillville, R. I. by poisoned ' rum which had been left in his barn. Circumstances traced out by his neighbors, rendered it morally cer tain that the fatal trap had been set for him by his btother-in-law, Daniel Cooper, between whom and Armstrong a variance existed in relation to some pro• perry. These circumstances and the suspicions to which they gave birth, becoming notorious in the neighborhood, on Wednesday morning, Cooper hang ed himself near his dwelling, and a few hours after wards was found stone dead. Ile has left a kind wife and several children to deplore his strange and sad death. The wretched man was about sixty yerus of age. lie wrote a short note before committing this last rash act, and left it on his bed. In substance it was as follows:—"What a horrible thing it is to be wrongfully accused of clime! I never bought the poison. Request certain neighbors [alluding to the Armstrongs, doubtless.] not to attend my funeral; tell them they ate not wanted." - - - "Take the rag of the bush" has been thus refined, —"Remove the dilapidated linen from off the infantile tree." "Mow' y makes the mare go," is thus refined,— "The circulai mg medium compels the female nag to absquatulate." "Tell the Truth and shame the Devil," is thus r endered—“ Proclaim whet is veracious and cause Diabolus to blush." VULGARISMS REFINED Damned by brandy. Killed. Eaton collected the skeleton of an army of Anteri• cues and Arabs; and marched from Tripoli across the desert several hundred miles, and came suddenly upon the city of Derne, which he attacked and captured. aided by Commodore Hull, (in the Argus,) who bom barded the place. It was an enterprise successfully carried out, which none but a rash or wild man would have undertaken. Coenltis London Chemist of a late date sayst"—"There is annually imported into Eng land a very large quantity of the fruit or berries of this plant—a narcotic acid poison. It is not used by the apothecary nor in manufactures; and it is disowned by the brewers large and small. What then becomes of this large annual importation of a vegetable poison 7— Experiment proves that the berries produce effects on the sensorium exactly analogous to those of the variety of strong ales, porter and beer, rapidly inducing gid diness. intoxication, ringing in the ear, dull stupor, fol lawed by severe headache and oppressive nausea The coincidence is remarkable!" Legal Compliment.—At a late term of 1.._ om mon Fleas, in Norfolk, Va., two of the attorneys hav ing some altercation, commenced bandying epithets by no means complimentary to each other, (as these good men do occasionally) when his honor, the presiding judge, interfered, and remat lied that "it was presumed that the member:4 of the bar were gentlemen, and that they should treat each other as such." 'Yes, your honor,' said one of them, so understand it, but it is one of these legal fictions not always borne out in practice.' ~~ S / )_~ 'S MAIL Furniture, Mocking Bird and Patent Le- ver Watch at Auction.
