'The Commercial, we are well assured, wil l
not aid the cause of the railroad by assailing t h e
Democratic candidate for Canal Commissioner. M r
BUTMS, we have undoubted authority fur saying, if
elected, will go into the °Mee of Canal Commissioner,
untrammelled; he has given no pledgrx—hs is prepa
red, therefore, to give the railroad question a fair cod
impartial inve.tiption.
Why is it that the editor neglects to inform his
readers as to the alimeab.etts of his whig iend.l—
is it that he does nut tell them that the .hig4
of Philadelphia city have re-nominated for the Senate,
Prat. A. Crabb, the bitter opponent of the railtoadt
Why is it that he conceals rho fact that the Whigs of
Lancaster hate nominated Herr Smith, Esq. for the
Senate, another violent opponent of the railrandl—
Why don he not tell his readers that the whigs Of
Dauphin have re•nominnted Mr Kaakle, the decided
opponent of the railroad? Why is he silent about the
whig nominations in Union, Chester, lluntingdon•
&el The editor would do well to turn his auen
tial to the shove named whip? Let him urge up
on them the importannce of voting for the tertnina•
tins of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad at Pitts
burgh. Let him say to them that the Railroad is a
great l'ennsylvania measure—that if they wish to
preserve the carrying trade of the great west fur the
Pennsylvania Canal, they must vote for ■ bill granting
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad right of way to
Pittsburgh. By doing so he a ill much better ' s m .,
the cause of the rail road than by assailing the
Democratic candidate for Canal Commistiowr.
Wt. to II reocru32.—Tbe whig presses of the North
says the Albany Atlas, are attempting to turn the late
outrage upon Cassius M. Clay into political capital,
and they do not hesitate to throw the whole responsi
bility of the violation of the public law and private
right, wl•ich marked that tiansactiee, tpois the demo
cratic party of Kentucky.
The impudence of this magnifment Roorback is ap
parent, from a glance at the face. KEA TOME . ' 41 •
whig State, Ls XINGTON a Whig city, the tone of public
sentiment decidedly whig, "the embodiment of whig
principle*" residing in the State, and impressing it
'nth his character. The meeting which took charge
of the suppression of C►.stos' newspapet was com
posed of more than two-thirds whip. It was lead by
Marshall, late whig, end ex-Gov. Metcalf, present
whip. Mr. Clay was not present, having left the city
on the eye of the affair. suddently and under the pre.
tence of ill health. His son and partner, J. B. Clay.
snub an active member of the committee of Itiary,
as it appears by the attendant facts, joined in opposing
his kinsman to clear the whig party of the charge of
participating in his kindsman's sentiments.
The aim of the whole affair was to show that theta
wat aoindentity between IlenryClay and Cassius M.
lathe late contest the Elder Clay wrote to his kinds
meat° tell him how much injury his abolition senti
ments were doing to hi, presidential prospects in the
South, and even in Kentucky, and to silence him in his
imprudent course. The present affair at Lexington
has the same meaning, and is a notice to the world
issued in time for the contest of 1943, that though a
community of name and a kindred of blood, unites the
two, there is no real indentity between them. It was
the interest of the embodiment that demanded the sac
rifice of his other Dromio; and if the elder Clay did not
evince the firmness of the elder Drums, in presiding
in person at the, sacrifice of hi, Lindsmsn to the
lotion" of his country, he at least approached hi, pit.
triceism by his voluntary absence and by the presence
of his son.
TtIItSTEAII ENGIN/5....4C will be WWI that Mr.
Ryan, gives notice that he hat nine small brick hnu
mu to rent, through each of them is extended a shaft,
propelled by an engine in his establishment fronting
upon the strvet. In each of these nine buildings,
therefotr, useful nod profitable machinery can be pla
ced, and the whole propelled by a single engine.—
The mighty engine!! Percy in his anecdotes of in•
genuity, has well observed that though the ingenuity
of man has been constantly employed in mitigating
what Shakespeare calls the "penalty of Adam,"—
yet never was there so much of that penalty remitted
as by the application of steam to the hewing of wood
■nd drawing of water, as well as to performing a great
variety of labors above human strength. The Steam
Engine has infinitely increased the mass of human
comforts and enjoyments, and rendered cheap and lc
mixable allover the world, the materials of wealth
and prosperity. It has armed the feeble hand of man,
in abort, with a power to which no limits can be as
signed; completed the dominion of mind over the re
(rectory qualities of matter, and laid a sure founda
tion for those miricles of mechanic power, wbch are
to add to, and reward the labors of after generation..
Already it has become a thing aliko stupendous for
its forte and its flexibility, The trunk of an elephant
that can pick up a pin, or rend an oak, is nothing to
it. It can engrave a seal, and crush masses of obdut
rate metals like wax before it—draw outwithout break•
ing, a thread an fine as gossamer, and lift a ship of
wet like a bauble in the air. It can embroider mus.
lin, and forge anchors; cut steel into ribbands and
impel loaded vessels against the fury of the winds
and airwaves. In ourown city you can purchase every
variety of Household Furnittfie—every description of
Hartisware--Cotton Yams—Cotton Good -woollen

TATS C RE DlT.—The !mem ion of our resders is di
rected to the circular of tba Treasurer of State. The
credit of the good Old commonwealth is to be maintain
ed--the interest detain Febtuary is to be satisfactorily
paid. We trust the adminittration will be untiring in
it, efforts to secure an object so very important and de
sirable. Let the February interest be fuithfulty paid,
and the credit of the State will again rest on a firm ba

iv. The existence of copper ore was discovered
upon Lake Superior by the earliest travellers In that
region. Baron La !lonian; as long ago as 1609 de
scribes the copper mines on the shore of the lake; '•the
metal of which was so fine and plentiful, that there
was nut a seventh part loot from the ore." Charle
voix, in 1721, said that pieces ofeopper were found in
some places on the bank of the lake, and around acme
orgies islands which acre objects of superstitious wor
ship among the Indians.
In 1776, Captain Carver procured masses of metal
lit copper on the shores of Lake Superior, and states
that virgin copper wan found in great plenty on the On
tonagon, or Copper Mint liver.
In 1731, Henry rind Bosvrick, two British adventu
rers dog a eonsidorable quantity of copper, out of the
alluvial earth, upon the hanks of th • Ontonagon river.
and together with a lump of silver ore of eight potted.
weight. conveyed it to Montreal, and thence shipped
it to England, where the silver ore was deposited in
the British moseern, after anannalysis n portion of
it. by which it was ib•tertnittril to contain sixty per cunt
of silver.
These adventurers were corm •ctnd with a company
formed la England for the payola. of working the cop.
per ,nines of lake Superior. at the head of %Lich was
the alike of Glaucester. They built a reset mile.
!nte the falls of St. M dry, to facilitate their opera
riot's open the lake, and spent it considerable stun of
money in eg plot to ions for caryer and the mining ope
ration; which wer e antb,u ised on the banks nf the On
tonngon. After returning rum the Canadian shore of
the lake, where silver ore wasdiscovereJ, the adventu
refrs coasted westward, but found nothing till they
reached the 0 nonagon, where, besides the detached
masses ofcopper already Mentioned, they -found much
of the same metal imbed led in steer,"

CLIN•TIt Or THE MOON.—At a late meeting of the
British Association bell at Cambridge, in England,
Sir John Herschrll, spesl.ing on this subject consider
ed as probable the attainment by its sstrfsca, of a very
high temperature (far above that of boiling water.)
a fter exposure to unmitigated and continual sunshine,
dining nearly a fortnight. The moon, therefore, when
at the full, and for a few days after, must be, ir. some
small degree, a source of heat to the earls; WI this
shear, being of the nature rather of culinary than of
solar heat (as emanating from a body below the tem
perature of ignition) will never reach the earth's sue
face, being arrested and absorbed in the upper strata
dfan aim 'sphere, where its whole effect will nercesati•
ly be expen led in the conversion of visible clouds in
to transparent vapor. The phenomenon or the rapid
di.sipation of cloud soon after the appearance of the
full moon• (or a moo to nearly full as to appear full
to the unasoisted rye) which he stated himself to have
o l.,serve.l on so mint occasions as to be full) convinced
of the reality of a strong tendency in gist chreicticm
seemed to him only explicable on this principle.

iron ore in ono mint. in Newcombe, E.tseic Co N. Y.,
willtin 200 feet of the surface, to make eighty million
cubic, feet of iron!
Within two miles nf this, says the N. Y. News,
there are two mines nearly as extensive, and at all
these mines the ore may be quarried out in the open
day. like flagging•stone! What makes those mines
still more valuable is, that they are in the midst of a
wilderness of wood, and situated directly upon s great
water power!
BUTTES Di a RaT.—E.ttraordiaary Cose.—A
few evenings ago, says the Boston Post, a young men
named Hays, an assistant in the provision store of Mr.
Bancroft, went home and putting his hand into
a closet in the dark, felt it seised sharply. Upon
withdrawing it, he found a large rat adhering so tena
ciously, that he could net shake the creature off till he
had killed it. The wound was inconsiderable, and
Mr. Hays thought nothing of the matter till his hand
began to swell. Upon calling medical aid,it was found
that the virus had spread through his system, and he
is now lying in a very• dangerous state. In the opine
ion of the physicians, amputation is useless, and he
can live but a short time. The swelling in the hand
has now subsided, and it appears as if withered.

INIFORfANTCHICULAR
It will be seen by the annexe,' circular, that the State
Treasurer is re.u:ved that nu efforts on his part shall be
wanting to insure the payment of the State Interest,
fallin: due on the first of February, 1845. And we
feel equally certain on that day the credit of the Com
monwealth will be met in full. The words "Fail to

on the tit st of August last.

7'n Mr of county,
Our efforts to re.toro and sustain the credit of the
Comtnonweolth have been successful. The interest of
our public debt hos been fully paid, and all other legat
liabilities promptly discharged. Let us all congratu
late each other, and d termino that the future shall be
ns the recent past. To accomplish this, our united ef•
;Torts must be energetically put forth; in so good a
rause, and with such ample means, fuilute is imptn
The net amount of taxes now due from several
counties of the Commonwealth, for this and prereed•
ing years. is about $1,000,000. I wish it to be die.
tinetly understood that this amount must be paid into
the State Treasury before the second Teusday in
January next, in accordance with the fortieth sec•
trop of the act of the 29th of April, 1844. That part
of the section relating to this subject, is in the follow•
ing words:
"'That it shall be the duty of the Commissioners of
tho several counties, to cause to be collected the taxes
as aforesaid adjusted and 'Jammed: and the respect.
ire County Treasurer shall pay over the same, as fast
as collected, to the Suite Treasurer; and if the quota of
any county be paid over bofore the second Tuesday in
January in etch year, to the State Treasurer, then, ,
and in such case, the amount remnining unpaid, after
deducting such commission as are or shall be allowed
by law, for the collection of the same, shall be charged
against said county on the books of the State Trea.l
surer, and shall bear an interest of five per cent. till
paid: and no payment shall be made to or on behalf
of said county, (under the various acts relating to coin
mon schools) or any other acts, or for any other por
pose, until the said balance be fully paid and satisfied:
Provided, That if the several collectors of loch county ,
shall not have collected and paid into the county treyl
sury, the amount of State tax duo by said county, then,
EZEM
and in that case, the deficency shall be paid nut of any
money in this treuury of said county, or which shall be
thereafter firat collected and paid into the same,
whether on the duplicates for State or county tax:
Provided. That If it shall appear from the receipts of
the County Treasurer, that the said tax shall have
been paid into the county treasuries before the times
specified in this section for the payment into the State
Treasury, then and in that case, the County Treasures
shall be personally liable to their respective count ies for
any interest which may accrue on Seth unpaid hal
lance."
Note —The words embraced in brackets are tepee!.
ed by the fourth division of the first section of the Act
of ti e 16th April, 1845.
The forty-third section of the same art, gives to
the Supreme Court, and the Courts of Common Pleas,
on the applieationof the State Treasurer, power to
award writs nf mandamus to enforce a compliance
with its laws.
If the amount due from each county is not paid nt
the time above stated, an interest account will be o
pened against such defaulting county, and payments
to or on behalf of itch county, withheld until such
balance and interest are fall) paid. The State Treas
urer earnestly hopes that he will not be required eith
er to enforce these provisions, or the one authorized
by the Cory-:161d sectinn rut - erred to. The alacrity
and promptness which were exhibited by tunny coon
ties, in responding to his circtilars of the 24th May,
and 2.1 of June last, induces him to believe, that the
enfoteement of these pronisions, nr the one aoliturired
by the forty•third section al before stated, will not be
required. Our riii ten. j.tttly feel

that her prosperity arid integrity are insertable from

and the highest peak of the Rocky Mountairis. fur it,
lover of warm sunshine and fhwer.; and we Pleased
reirselves with the idea that he w•• the first of lan
species to cross the mountain barrier—a solitary pi- ,
oneer to foretell the advance of eiviliation. I believe
that a moment' s tho ug ht would have made us let ham ;
continno his way unharmed, but we retried nut the
law of this country, where all enininted nature
'rems at war; and, wiling him immediately. put
him in at last a fit place—in the leaves of a large book,
1
among the flowers we had collected on our way.—'
The baroteeter stood at 10 233, the attached 'her
mometer at 44 deg.; giving fo r the elevation of the
summit 13 570 feet whore the Gulf of Mexico. which'
may be railed the highest flight °film bee. It is cer•l
tainly the highest known flight of that insect.
From the deacription given by Mackenzie. of the
mnuntains, where he crossed them, with that of n
French officer still Netter to the north, and Col Lung's
measurements to the south, joined to the opinion of
the oldest trade,, of the coutitte, it is presumed that
this is the highest peak of the Rocky :srlotititilins.—
The day was sunny and bright, bet n slight shining '
mist hone over the lower plains, which interfered with
our view of the surrounding country. On one able
we overlooked innumerable lakes and atteams, the
spring of the Colorado of the Gulf of California; and
on the other was the Wind river valley. where were
the heads of the Yellowstone branch of the Missouri:
far to the north, ere could jest discover the snowy
heads of the Trios Teton!, where the sources of the
Missouri and Columbia Jivers. and at the southern
extremity of the ridge, the peaks were plainly visible;
among which were some of the springs of the Ne•
bruska, or Platte river. Around us, the whole scene
had one mnin striking feature, which was that of terri
ble convulsions. Perallel to its length, the ridge was
split into chasms and firsurer, between which row the
thin lofty walls, terminated with slender minaret.; and
columns, which is correctly represented in the view
from the camp on Island lake. Accordieg to the ba•
rometer, the little creel. of the wall en which we stood,
was three thousand five hundred and eighty feet above
diet place, and two thousand seven hundred and eighty
feet above the little lakes at the bottom, immediately
at our feet.
Our camp at the Two Hills (an astronomical sta
tion) bore south 3 deg. east, with a bearing afterwards
obtained from a fixed postilion, enabled us to locate
the peek. The bearing of the Trois Tetons was not th
50 deg. wen, and the direction of the central ridge of
the ‘V ind river mountains south 39 deg east. The sum
mit rock was gniess, succeeded by scientific gneiss.—
Sienette and feldspar succeeded in our descent to the
snow line, where we found a felspathic granite. I
had remarked that the ;wise produced by the explosloin
of our pistols, had the usual degree of loudness, but not
in the least prolonged, expiring almost instantly.—
Having now made what 'observation our means Grand.
ed we proceeeed to descend. - .We bad accomplished
an object of laudable ambition, and beyond the strict
order of our instructiotta. We bad climbed the loftiest
peak of the Rocky Moentains„ and looked down upon
the snow a thousand feet below; and standing where
never human foot bad stood before, felt the exultation
of first explorers. It was about twelve o'clock when
we left the summit, and when we reached the bottom;
the sun had already sunk behind the wall, and the day.
sv:is drawing to a close. It would have been pleas—
ant to have lingered here and on the summit longer,
but we hurried away as rapidly as the ground would
permit, for it was an otject to regain our party as soon
as possible, not knowing what accident an hour might
bring forth."

The general sense of the merit of the work is evi
deut by tlw exhaustion of the two former editions and
the call for a new nor. The t equi.ites of such a book
are, that it should be adapted to popularise. In both
respects, you appear to hove sueeeeded, nod to have

confidence of the public. In my r;YrrisArn, yen nee

be easily under stood and applied, thus affording a sofc
and convenient guide for till who in their own con
cerns or in the concerns of others, have occasion to
Iprepare any of the papers required in the daily trans
actions of business. They will he especially useful
