JOHN BIGLER, EDIIOR
PITTSBURGH, THURSDAY, JULY 31, 1845
'The Gazette of yesterday, calls upon us to as
sign reasons for believing :het the individual inlet
eats of Mr BRACK ENRIDG 5, are inimical to the termina
lion of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad at Pittsburgh.
.190 will cheerfully do so. Mr 8., as is well known ,
bas a very valuable real estate, near the Pennsylvania
canal in this county—he, of course. feels a deep inter.
eat in the trade upon this great work, and if the Rail
Road is in any respect to be regarded as its rival, then
tare his interests with the canal, and against the Rail
Road. But we have other evidence of Mr B's. views
upon the subject. In his letter we find he following:
^ln ten years, the lines of transportation and travel
will hardly suffice, even with the addition of the Rail
way from New York to the Allegheny, and a coatin
twat Railway from Philadelphia."
Here we have two aditional projects adroitly thrust
before the people. Now, the fact is, Mr Bracken
ridge was not called upon for his opinion as to the
merits or necessity for constructing other rcutes, but
merely for a pledge that be would use his influence,
end vote fern bill giving the Baltimore and Ohio Rail
Road right of way to Pittsburgh. To this he not only
gives an evasive and unsatisfactory reply, but art
fully presents for considelation two rival routes; one
from New York to Ike Allegheny; the other direct
from Philadelphia. &loathe routes ,it will be seen,
would greatly advance his own personal interests.
We ask the question. whet man, friendly to the ter
mination ofthe Balrimoreand Ohio Rail Road at Pitts
burgh, would bring into view, nt this lIMP,RA Mr B. has
"done,two other rival Rail Road routes? Tt was done fir
the obvious purpose of distracting the public mind,and
if possible to create division among our people on the
Rail Road question. It has been agreed on all herds
to make a edited and vigorous effort to secure the ad
vantages of a termination of the Rail Road at this
city. Does Mr Brackenridge agree to second the of
forts of the people of Pittsburgh?—far from it. Instead
of doing s n, he goes to work and cunningly concocts
a plan to divide their efforts—to get some to favor the
N York route, in which he is personally interested, and
ethers for a continuous Railway from Philadelphia
It is barely possible that our neighbor of the Gazette
overlooked this feature of 11r Brackenridge's communi
cation, but the fact that it was given to his renders
without comment, would seem to indicate that it did
not escape his notice.
It is very unpleasant to differ with political f iends,
and our neighbor of course, was not expected to quar
rel with Mr Brackenridge, a candidate on the Whig,
ticket,be was unwill ing we presume,to give his letter an
unqualified approval, and therefore passed it over
withrkit notice. But, will this satisfy the people of
Pittsburgh, ardently and honestly, devoted as they are
to the Rail Road moaiurel We cannot believe, that
they will remain eilen , , ns the Gazette has done, and
see this dearly cherished intelost placed in the hands
of a man, who will certainly strangle it, if elnathed
with the power to do so.
STATIC TAX—ALLEGHENY Couary.—The Gazette
is informed that we made our statement in accordance
with the facts of the case. We mere infcrmed. and
truly too, that the arrangements were made by Mr.
Davirr, the Treasurer, and the Senior Commissioners,
Messrs CUNNINGHAM and FORSYTHE—that Air Magill
Will not present to talstr - part in closing the business,
end in fact was absent from the city.
In noticing the matter, we named and very properly
too, we think, the persons only that paticipated in it.
The Gazette's discovery that we intended, in claiming
"the credit for the Senior Commissioners, to censure
:Mr Magill over the'shoulders of his colleagues,certainly
-manifests in its editor rare and wonderful sagacity, and
.proves beyond peradventure that he is "up to a thing or
two."
rif*The article in the American of yesterday after
noon. on the above bulject, will he attended to in
the Post of to-morrow.
Mlt has been stated in one or two of our city pn
pers, that petitions ate in circulation fur the removal
of Judge Patton. This, we think, must be n
We era assured by a friend that he has taken much
lair's to ascertain whether such petitions are actually
in circulation, and if ao, to procure a cape; but he has
_atotbeen able to find either the petition, or any person
.than has seen one of them.
BALTIMORE MONUMENTAL CONTENTIuN.—The
Argus says, a very full and large meeting of the con
vention appointed to devise means, and make arrange
ments fur the commencement of a monument to Gen.
Andrew Jackson, %%a., held on Saturday evening last
at the City, Hall. Chief Justice Taney was present
and in the chair. He made some very touching and
Eloquent remarks in reference to the accomplishment
-of the purpose fur which ahoy had met, and hoped, he
'said, that there would be no backwardness or delay
in the matter. He hoped there would be no half way
feeling; for. said he, the old general rover did any
thing by halves, but always accomplished what lie un
dertook. The chief justice entered with a zeal and
energy into the project, worthy one who had been the
intimate friend of the "Old Hero." A committee of
five gentlemen, was, en motion, to be appointed by
the chair, who are to devise the moot suitable means,
and report at the next meeting the most feasible plhn
for carrying out the objects designed by the conven
tion, and also some suitable plan for the permanent or
ganization of a committee to have its superintendence
until finally completed. Without transacting any oth
er business, the convention adjourned.

SIX HUNDIIED SLAVES LMANCICATr 1).- 3 k letter)
published in the Kew York Journal of Commerce,
mentions the decision recently, given by the Supreme
Court of Louisiana, which emancipated six hundred
slaves. The late Stephen Henderson directed by his
last will that his slaves (six to seven hundred in num
ber) should be sent to Liberia by the American Colo
nization Society. His directions were, that at theenci
of five years from his death, (which took place about
six years ago) the slaves should be permitted to draw
lots, and the ten on whom the lot should fall, should
be sent to Africa, at ten years from his death twenty
others, by lots; and iii twenty-five years, the whole of
the residue should be sent. after securing an outfit of
one hundred dollars. The suit now derided (it was
lost in the lower Court) was brought by the heirs, a-'
gainst the executors of ihe will, and the decree of the
Court is, that the will must be carried out, (the intim-
tion of thetestatorbeirg clear) and the slaves sent to I
Africa.

I.LeA very valuable oil, it is said, may be extracted
from the seed of the pumpkin. The at ticle has been

for this reason is preferred as an ingredient in the

smell of the spermaceti. The product is at the rate
of six gallons of oil to nine bushels of seed. In
these hard times it might be well fur the cotton

LaA letter from Hong-kong, quoted by the Lon

opium can no longer involve us in China. It is openly
admitted at every port, and carried about the streets.
In fact, it is legalized to all intents and purposes; but
they are ashamed to publish it. The trade of Canton
for the past year exceeded &ll previous experience,
nctwithstanding the other fur ports; and the emperor
gained revenue of 2,500,000 from that port alone."

"A few calcined and discolored bones that seemed
ready to pulverize into magnesia at the touch—a piece
of skull—a ghastly !ock of hair—these were the only
remaining tokens of the jiving. No—we mistake. A
huge bundle of charred Ledgers were grasped under
the circling bones of the left arm, while the fingers of
the "good night hand" clutched among some scattered
pieces of gold—precious gold. The skeleton lay
crushed upon the steps, and the pour faithful wretch
was joyfully making his escape from the burning build

a triumph! What a something to tell of and to be
proud of for all time to co:ne. that he had so narrowly

AN ICE MOUNTAIN IN VIRGINIA
Thn idea of a "mountain of ire" so near home ns the
' Ohl Dominion" is nut a little refreshing during this
sultry weather, for if we cannot reach it, we may ima
gine its cooling ioiluence to extend in any direction,
and by the exertion of the kaleid,sr,ope of fancy, we
may convert any of the objects around us into an ideal
"1 ibis same mountain, of which the Newark (N. J.)
Advertiser gives the nnnexed account:
“There is a eompa rat ively small mountain in Hamp
shire county, Va , about 20 miles from Winchester,
and on the eastern hank of the North River, where
there is perpetual ice. Our attentinn has recently been
called to it for the first time by a note from rt friend
who visited it during a recent tour through the States;
and from whom we learn that the west side of the
mountain, which is some 500 feet in height, is covered
with a mass of loose porous stone, by removing which
pure crystal ice can always he found in the warmest
days of summer. It has been discovered 119 late as
the 15th of September; and yet the face of the moun
tain is subject to the full rays of the sun from morning
to night. The owner. Mr Doevers, has erected a milk
house over a bed of ire at the foot of the mountain,
and near the river. w Lich has an ice floor the year
round. There is also a spring of cold water un the
same spot
'We find by recurring to Mr Howe's H istnric nl
Collections of Virginia, a salt] able wank recently pub
lished, a solution of this remarkable phenomenon.
The ice is protected from ext..' nal heat by thesuround
ing porous rocks, as ice in a reir:vrator is isolated
and protected from the external temperature by the non
conducting sides of the refrigerator. One aide of the
mountain cousi-ts of a mass ire wall many hundred
feet in 11 -. .ickuess. and limped up against this its an
abutment. is a rnas.s af rocks of several thousand cubic
feet. As the in 'natal!' has a general direction from
NE to SW, the !War co.dornin; the ice has a
NW exposure. The c.o.errau,s nature of this heap
admits the lice el trance of utmo-Hieric waters, which
during the winter forms ice !fl mt., ior of the mass.
"Th e Ic e Mountain is, in fue., a huge sandstone re
frigerator, whose increased and unusual .dlects beyond
those 01 the or li.racy refrigerator, are doe to the in
creased anal unusual collection of nor conducting ma
terials which form its Such a ling , . ever ready
refrigerator in t h e taeigYnarinaml of Newark, ur any
of our crowded tow's, in this sweltering season, would
be worth its weight in goki."
In addition to the above, we learn of an ice-house
or snort-hole near Troy, Vii. Y., in the disputed rent
district, situated near the summit of the Williamstown
mountain; a writer in the Christian Watchman states
that it is said of this natural cut iosity, that the ice and
snow ha., never melted to the certain knowledge of
sorne of the inhabitants for more than half n centur);
but it few dais ago, Mr. Van lienstselner himself, the
celebrated oatroon of this wide domain, together with
Judge 11 ant., and two or three other gentlemen, paid
it n visit, and the patroon pleasantly remarked that he
could return to Albaoy, and tell his friends that he
had sunk in snow pp io Iris knee; in the month of July,
Stich a retreat would be, indeed, desirable when the
Tlicksiker is to 100 degrees.

cluding lecture lest week that if a drop of human blood
subject to examination by the oxhydt °gen microscope,
and magnified some twenty millions of times, all the
species of animal now existing on the earth, or that
have existed during the different stages of creation for
Millions of years past, there will be discovered. In
the blood of a healthy person, all the animalcuke are
quiet and peaceable; but in the bloc& of a deceased
persons, they ore furious, inlet:, and preyintt ornm
each other. Tl.is lie stilted in itimerat hal et his p si
tion that man contains within himself till the princi
ples of the universe. It was also meserted that if a
dead cat be du own Mtn a pool of 'stagnant water, and
allowed to dissolve there, a drop of water taken from
any part of the pool and examined as a hove, will spew
every species of the cut kind that has ever existed on
the earth, raging and destroying one another. The
bodies of all the lower animal, being thus made rip of
animalcule similar to themselves; and the body of
man being compounded of all that is below in the

LIGHT IS CONE!
New Sperm, Lard and Pine Oil Lamp Stare.
THE subscribers having opened a store, No 8,
St Clair street, (west side) for the sale of Lamps
Oils, &c., respectfully invite the attention of the 'in
habitants of Pittsburgh, Allegheny and the surround
ing country generally, to their stock of Lamps, before
purchasing elsewhere. Our arrangements with the
manuficturs are such that we con safely say, are are
prepared to light in the mOst brilliant and ecoaansi
cti I manner. Steamboats, Hotels, Public Halls,
Churv-hes, Slot es. Shops. Parlors. Bridges and
Streets, us well as Ole more "dark and benighted cor
ners, or any pl•tre where brilliancy, neatness and strict
economy is do:ired• Among our means for letting OW
“light shine," may be found the folkwing Lamps for
burning Lard, Lard Oil and Sperm Oil, viz:
'fanning Lamps and Chandeliers, (2 to 4 branch)
For lighting Stores, Public Hallo, Churches,
and steamboats.
Stand and Centre Table Lamps, (various patterns
and prices,) for Parlors.
Reading and Work Lamps.
Side and Wall Lamps, Glass and Tin Hand Lamps
&c. &c.
The above are mostly Dyott's Patent Lamps. with
double shelled fountain, and otherwise an improve
ment upon any lamp now in use, which can be per
ceived at once by examination. Alao,glassTrimmingii
for lamps, such as Globes, Chimney., Wicks, &c.
LAST, THOUGH NOT LEAST
Dyott's Patent Pine Oil Lamps, such as Hanging
lamps and Chandeliers, (2 to 6 branch )
Stand and Centre Table Lamps, (Glass Fronts with
or without drops,) Street lamps fur lighting streets
and bridges.
As we cannot dascribe the various patterns, we cor
dially invite the public to examine them. We affirm
that in brilliancy, cleanliness and economy, no light
now in %JAC Will bear comparison with these lamps and
Pine Oil. They are as safe to use as sperm or Lard
Oil. Although some are endeavoring to identify this
article with the old camphino and spirit gas, (by the
use of which accidents have occurred,) we assort this
to be another and ditferen article. and that no accidents
have occurred during the extensive use of this article
in Philadelphia far four years.
These Lamps will produce as much light, with as
much neatness and mare brilliancy, and 25 per cent.
less than any other light now in use, not excepting
Gas.
If any one doubts statements we hava,or may hers
after make, we would my, we have commenced our
business in Pittsburgh, and knowing the merits of the
articles we offer to the public, we are willing to hold
ourselves accountable at all times for our statements,
and are willing to put to test our Lamp—dollars and
cents,—testing economy—and the iniblh: decided on
the nentness and brilliancy of the light.
We have many testimonials from residents of Phila
delphia and elsewhere, but the following may suffice
for the resent.
T llis is to certify that I have purchased of M. D.
Dyatt a sufficient number ',chi% Patent Pine Oil Lamps
to light the Univetsalist Church of Philtedelt.hia, and
have vuoqi them in snicl Chun+ about two years. I
have found them to give perfect satisfaction. The
light prechiced by them is the most brilliant that I
have ever seen. They are No economical that the cost
of the Lamps has been Paved several times over; the
lighting tip of the Church nut costing half 811 much as
it did before we procure them.
Respectfully, JOHN DF.SSALET,
Secretary of the above unmet! Church
Philadelphia, July 8, 1815.
The undersigned having used for two yeata Dyntr's
Patent Pine Oil Lamps in his lintel, the Deliver
Home, can recommend them as the most "economical
and brilliant light that can be produced by any arti
ele now in tee. Before I commenced lighting my
house with the Pine Oil, I Wlll using the Gets; but af
ter a trial of the above Lamps, I was so much plea
sed uith the light, and convinced of their economy,
that I had the Gas removed and burn the Pine Oil in
its place. WM. CA LILES,
Pror rietor of Boliver House,
No 20a Chesnut at.
Philadelphia, July 8, 1845";
A LIAGHENY Curr, July 12, 1845.
This may cectify that we, the undersigned, haying
used for some months, Dyntt's Patent Pine Oil Lamps,
con with the fullest confidence re:ernmend them, as
producing the most brilliant and economical light we
have ever seen, They are simple in their structure,
and easily tuken care el, and we believe them as safe
light as can be produced from any other Lamp, and
touch cheaper than any other kind of Oil.

removing the above diseases, as JAYNE'S ALTER

that have been truly astonishing, not only of Cancer
and other diseases of that class, but has removed tho
moat stubborn diseases of the Skin, Swelling, Liver
Complaint, Dyspepia, &c., &c.
This medicine enters into the circulation and eradi
cates diseases wherever located. It purifies the blood
and other fluids of the body, removes obstruction is
the pores of the skin, and reduces enlargements of the.
glands or bones. It increases the appetite, removes,
headache and drowsiness, invigorates the whole sys
tem, and imparts animation to the diseased and debit,
itated constitution. There is nothing superior to it in.
the whole materia medics. It is perfectly safe and
extremely pleasant, and has nothing of the disgusting
nausea accompanying the idea of swallowing medi-.
eine.
