The Railroad meeting. held at the old Court House
- )eaterday morning, wad very numerously attended,
thumb convened upon a few hours entice. The reso
lutions are very strong and speak the prevailing sen
?intents of the Western people. %Ve regret that an ef.
fart was made to give the proceedings a political
Character,—the friends of the measure have no &sire
to - connect this greet I'ennsylvania project with
the party feuds of the day. Such a course is certain
very objectionahle in every view what) can be pro-
perly taken of the case. The political parties in the
east are divided upon the question—there ate Demo
crats for and Democrats optimist "the grant of the
"right of way"—there are alac; ;thigs for and Whigs
against the measure. To connect theaubject. there
fore., with party politics, may do harm. but can do no
good. Heretofore cure has been taken to keep the
subject entirely disconnected ft-ern the party move•
menu of the day, and we trust that the wise policy of
the pant will govern our future action. Su fur as
Gov SIIUNK is concerned, he has has, ae believe,
expressed no opinion upon the subject. When the
bill is presented for his consideration, it will, we
honeritly believe, promptly receive his approval and
eignetore.
On the siihject of the Railroad there is vow, in
fact, but one opinion entertained by the people of
. Western Pennsylvania. All are satisfied that it would
be ruinous policy to force the Raltimme and Ohio
Ris{hoed Company to ail. ,p 1 the Virginia route; we
doubt mach whether one hundred men can be found
in the entire west who oppose the Pittsburgh ■nd
_fasor the Virginia terminus. But, we will certainly
be called upon to bear all the evils of a lower termi.
nue, if we longer refuse the Company "right of
way" to Pittsburgh. The Representatives of the
people we hope, therefore, will be governed by an
enlighted and liberal policy, and by timely and favor
- able artion upon the great iTiestion before them.

INDIAN CORN-SIR ROBERT PEEL'S NEW
TARIFF
The great change proposed by Sir Robert Peel in
the English tariff, if adopted by Parliament—as we
have no doubt it will be in its essential features—
=Set inevitably, says the N Y Gazette, produce impor
tant results in favor of the corn-growing States. The
duty to be paid en Indian corn imported into Great
Britain. was in October last, eight shillings per quar
tet, or about twenty-two cents per bushel. Sir Rob
ert Peel proposes to reduce the duty to one shilling
per quarter, or to 1r and threc quarter costs per
bushel; making a difference of nineteen and a quarter
cents per bushel. The immanse benefits of such a
than. ain the duty °Exam Th is COB article will be _np•
precut-. bital who are conscious of the enormous
-surplus of it produced in the United States. The last
'eel:taus shows that, in the year it was taken, (1840.)

Hence it appears that the ten States first named
produced, in the year. 536,947,53 I buihels of corn. or
paady three hundred millions. This quantity was
raised when there was no stintulus to a large pro
doetton,apthrging from a reasonable certainty of find-
Idg a remunerating market for the large surplus tha t
ralsted over and above the means of home consump.
The heavy duty imposed by the laws of Great
Britain amounted to a virtual prohibition of exports
to that country. The onerous duty on pork prevented
the export of that article with any profit to the pro
ducer,'Sir Robert Peel's new system admits pork
free of duty, with the exception of hams.
If the United States could produce a surplus ofonly
fifty nailfioo bushels of corn, and could find a market
for that surplus in Englund, the return to the produ•
censors:told be immense. But they can produce mor e
than that.

We statei•one fact, which m•ty not be generally
known in thi. country. Indian corn has never been
used as an article of Condit) Great Britain. She has
never uied it for the purpose of feeding and fattening
cattle.. She has nut even used it in her distilleries
for the' production of iph its. She annually makes
large importations of beans from Egypt to feed her
odes. 'Tbe came money would produce much more
value in feed for cattle, expended in the purchase of
Indian corn. By a repeal of the duty on Indian corn,
the money that has gone heretofore to Egypt, vill
hen:eforth be sent to the United State. When the
English people have learnt the value of this article ,
, both for .man's consumption and for feed fur cattle,
there will be a radical change in their views of its
uses and importance.

that the timberi gave way with a loud crash, like the
'report 'of fire arms. The alarm and confusion was
tremendous. Some of the saints broke out the win

shoulder fractured, and others were badly hurt in thus

ly in love with a lady to whom be had an introduction,
named Miss Coopor, daughter of Mr. John Cooper,

They accordingly proceeded to the National Hotel,
on Pratt street, and the amorous youth was pointed i

would lead him. The father seized him by the collar
and dragged him to his feet, and without a word of en•

cane. All who knew the character of young Baer, are
satisfied that his intentions were perfectly honorable.
and that his ignorance of city usages alone caused
him all his trouble. By and bye, when he becomes a

CURIOUS ANECDOTE
In the last number of the 'Review of the Empire,'
the Baron Felix. des Porte relates the circumstances
which is thus freely translated:
In one of the warmest end most fatal engagements
in the l'ortugal campaign, the 27th regiment of the line,
was among the first that gave way, being reuldently
surrounded and briskly assailed by a corps of English
which ilium them into a moment's confusion. Their
',alonel had, however, suceeded in rallying them, when
a %hot broke his leg and killed his horse. Believing
him dead, bin men thought only of revenging his lose
which was but the work an moment.
At the point of the bayonet, they opened a wide
passage through the enemy. No one thought, howev
er, of the remains of the colonel when a sergeant of
voltigeurs, by the name of Chesquierre, a small, del
icately formed man, cried out, "What a shame to leave
the remains of the colonel to the enema! Come, to
the rescue! and let us show these youngsters whom
they have to do with." Two brave fellows turned
back with him, but it was only to find a glorious
death on the way. lie arrived alone, but all his
strength was insufficient to move the body. After
many vain efforts he sat down by the deceased and
cried like a child. Suddenly he perceived two of the
enemy's officers at a distance, fie makes signs with
' masket and they, thinking to make a prisoner, has
, tened up. One of them he soon 'disables with a shot,
' and commences a deadly encoenter with the other.
At length he iv victor, and bis wounded enemy
surrenders. Catching a horse, he compelled his priso
ner to aid him in placing the body of the colonel a
crass the saddle; then ties•him and his companion to
the tail of the horse and arrives at the hospital with
his two prisoners and his precious load. On exam
ining-the wounds of the colonel, the surgeon says they
are not mortal, and the necessary aids being admin-
istered he revives, and. Informed of his obligation..
to Chesquiere, throws hknself into his arms. Ches
prism!. utters a cry, and it is oily then they perceive
that he is wounded. 'Take off your coat and come
here,' says the surgeon, 'that I may dress the wound '
He hesitates and his face becomes suffused. 'Come
along.' cries the surgeon 'do you suppose tht,t I have
any time to throw uvraNr in spite of the sergeant's
resistance they took f f his coat, and exposed an arm
plump, round and well formed as a female's. A lady
in fact. it was.
The English officers wept with rage and mortifica
tion at being the prisoner of a woman. The tiplanu
Lion was thus: Virginia Cheaxuiere, of Dilmont. near
Lisle, Flanders, seeing her young brother incapable of
sustaing the fatigues of war, taken by c.,nscription,
had Jbt tined her parent's permission to put herself in
his place. They were twins and of much the same
appearance. She took her place on the dparture of
the troops, had served six years and been successfully
promoted to her present grade.
The general, informed of these facts, gives her die.
charge, with the Cross of the Legion of Honor. Tbe
young woman returned to her home and is universally
cited ns a model of personal cuurnge end of feminine
propriety.
MEXICAN LADIES

respondent of the London Times in the city of Mexi
co. The name thing which strikes this writer—the
way the Mitxtenn !Mies mange their dresses in
threading a cord--has often surprised us, and the
manner which the women id the middle and lower
classes of Mexico can dispo-n of themselves upon
the 11 tor at a fandango of other trierrv-makings, is
even more singular. We have seen a &Vl of them

tI.IE Citizens of Pittsburgh continue to be offered
an opportunity to effect insurance upon their prop
erty, by a Domestic Institution, located among them ,
seines, based upon Domestic Capital, and conducted
by Directors, in whose prudence, integrity and good
Leith; .hey can readily ascertain, whether they may
repose that underbred confidence and security, which
should ever attend an insurance transaction.
To persons whose property has, already, been
damaged, or destroyed, by Fire or Water, the advad
loge of personally adjusting Blear, with an institution,
AT HoSS E. trill be strikingly evident. To those who
suffered by the Great Fire, this particular corporation
needs no recommendation. The prompt payment of
the whole amount of its losses—.*.EAßLS TWo RUN
THoCsAND DOLLARS—is to them a sufficient
guarantee of future security,
It is the part of all prudent men, however fortunate,
to anticipate calamity fur the purpose of avoiding its
effects. To such 33 have hitherto escaped, as well as
to those who have sustained lots, the facility of pro
tection and indemnity, offered by this institution, will
be the stronrst inducement to avoid the reflections
and regrets which must be cxperienced by those who
suffer triatout hope of rtalitution.
