THE PITTSFRGH DAILY MEM POST.
JOHN BIOLER, Editor
PITTSBURGH, TUESDAY, JUNE 9, 1846
FOR CANAL COMAILSSIONER,
WILLIAM B. ROSTER, Jr.,
OVBRAD£ORD COtrITTY
eCY-For Latest News, see Postscript, on second
Pne-
aj-The Commercial Journal has recently con
tained several very ill-natured attacks upon the
editor of this paper.' The productions of a cor
respondent, with which we had no connection,
are made the pretext, We dislike newspaper con.
troversiea of a personal character, but if nothing
else Will satisfy Mr. . Riddle he can go ahead; we
are ready.
cO-The editor of the American is mistaken as
to the effects of the new mail arrangement. The
eastern mail matter heretofore not received till 4
o'clock in the morning, will be received under the
•
new arrangement at 5 o'clock on the previous
evening, thus gaining some 10 or 12 hours. The
American has just reversed the facts:
By, the new arrangement all letters as.siuned
east or south will hale to be mailed here by 6
o'cl'ock in the morning.
Thomas 4. Rowley.—As this individual ha!, not
denied the charge that he is a member of the Ma
sonic Fraternity, and we suppose cannot, we re
move his name from the ticket in our columns—
The inconsistency ofdceeping, up the name Antima
sonic, and at the same time openly supporting ad
hering Masons for office, is so glaring and shame
ful: that no person with a common sense of pro-
Priety would think of such a thing. •We for one
will not stultify ourself by such inconsistency.—
We have discharged our duty in the premises, and
now leave to the Corresponding Committee, to
take such action as they may deem proper.
The editor of the Gazette, has been as good as
his word; he has, tingly and alone, nullified the pro
ceedings of the Corrrention, and erased the name
of Tnomas A. RowLEr, Esq.. from the Anti-Ma
sonic and Whig ticket. We directed the editors
.attention, on Sattirday, to a widely, circulated ru
mor in reference to Mr. FaMPTONS connection
with Matonary. but he has not seen proper to no
tice it. • We again call • upon him to state
whether Mr. Itrurrox is, or is not. now an adhe
ring Mason? If a renouncing mason it is but just
that his renunciation of the order should be pub
lished.
Iron War Steamers.
The Bill reported; by Mr. T. B. King. from the
committee on Naval affairs; provides for the con
stnictinn of twelve Iron War Steamers and one
Iron Frigate. For this purpose $5,000.000 is re
commended to be appropriated; all very well.
provided the draft of water of these Steamers he
limited to 15 feet, which will fit them for the de
fence of the Harbors on the Gull of Mexico, as
well as for ocean cruising generally. A proper
and indispensable condition in the bill. requires the
boilers to be placed so far below the water line,
and the machinery so arranged, as to be secure
from- an enemy's shot. The — ingenuity of Lieut.
Hunter, of the Navy, (who invented and patented
the uPhield-cleck," in 15'41.) has most perfectly
accomplished the desideratum of protecting the,
Marine Engine, from the effects of an enemy's shot.
There is, however, a condition in the bill, which
from the impossibility of its being complied with,
May not only occasion the loss of much Valuable,
time, which the present urgent wants of the nation
cannot well spare, but may also have the effect to,
prevent entirely the very object of the bill itself.
The condition alluded to, is that the War Steamers
shall have a speed of at least fifteen miles an hour.
in- ocean navigation in ordinary weather. No
truth is better established than that the highest
rate of speed ever yet attained by the greatest a
mount of steam-poWer possible to apply to the
lightest Hulls adapted to River navigation. in
smooth weather, unaided by wind or current, has
been 1t.3 miles per hOur—and that there never has
been an ocean steamer (even in the Merchant Ma
rine, and consequently relieved-from the weight of
a battery and extra weight in hull necessary to
sustain it,) impelled by steam-power with any
means of propulsion more than ten miles per hour
in ocean'navigation. By naval constructors, Ma
rine Engine builders, and practical Engineers, the
condition of the Bill last named is known not to
be practicable. The srecial legislation in favor
of Capt. John Erick Son, of New York, and the
Messrs. R. & G. .L. Schuyler,'of New York, pro
posed by the 3d and 4th sections of the Bill, can
not be based on the achievements of either of these
gentlemen in successfully adapting steam-power
to vessels of war. Should the proposal of Capt.
John Erickson, as stated in the report of Mr Thos.
Butler King, of the committee on Naval affairs, to
build' an Iron Steamer of 1200 tons burthen with
submerged propellers. for $390,000, with all her
armament complete," be accepted, the Govern
ment will have granted to Mr. Erickson, by special
legislation a nett profit of over $150,000, and that
too in the face of facts accessable to every Gentle
man in COngress whri may be desirous to inform
himself of what should be the cost_ of an Iron
steam vessel of war of the dimensions embraced
by the proposal of Captain Erickson., A call by'
any member of Congresi for the cost of the U. S.
Steamer "Allegheny.''now nearly teady for launch
ing in this city, will conclusively show that the
cost of this vessel, although bitilt of the best quali
ty Juniatta Iron, and over 1100 tons burthen,
Barque rigged, with her Battery complete for ser
vice, with a draft of water not exceeding 13 feet,
which gives her access to the Mississippi River
and Harbors on the Gulf of Mexico, will not far
exceed $200,000. The cost of the wooden steam
er Princeton, of only 673 tons burthen, constructed
on Captain Erickson's plan. will he found not far
short of that of the ' , Allegheny." The Princeton
draws 19 feet 6 inches water, which excludes her
from most of the Harbors on the Gulf of Mexico,
including the month of the Mississippi. She was
found incapable of carrying the Battery for which
she was designed, and but little if any more than a
week's full supply of-fuel. The vertical portion of
her propeller '(l4 feet in diameter) being placed
across her stem, and without the vessel, destroyed
the sailing qualities, so particularly essential to a
vessel of her liMited capacity for carrying fuel.
shall hereafter have much more to say on
the important subject Of Iron Steamers adapted to
thepassage of the bar of the Mississippi, and har
bors of the Gulf. so that the valley of the Mississip
pi may be available rot this great arm of National
defence.
per or Vot.vsrrstas.--The editor of the Ga
zette, nays that the editor of this paper has more
than once defended Congress in refusing to in
increase the pay of VOlunteers. The assertion of
the Gazette is untrue,' we have uniformly, advo
ca,ted an increase of the pay of all Privates,"in the
rerviciof the country, and opposed the measure of
Mi. Stewart because, in the matter of pay, it made
a difference between R4tdars and Mfunicen.

• c - -The escape of Capt. Thornton, at the time
his company was so badly cut up, is almost in
credible. After carrying him safely over the high
hedge enclosure, into which he had been decoyed,
his horse bore him swiftly over several other fen
ces and deep ravines, swimming the Rio Grande
above Matamoros, then passing down below the
town on the opposite side, in attempting to leap a
broad ditch he missed his footing. when both horse
and rider were thrown. By the fall capt. T. was
so stunned that he was soon after taken up by the
3fexicans, perfectly unconscious of what had hap
pened. After the battle of the 9th he was exchang.
ed, and restored to our army,
LANCASTER COUNTY ON THE. RlO GRANDE.-
The Lancaster Union boasts with honest pride that
its good old county was better represented in the
battles on the Rio Grande, than any other one in
the State, not excepting Philadelphia. No less
than four officers of Gen. Taylor's army were from
Lancaster county—Lieut. Reynolds, of Lancaster
city. and Lieuts. Luther and Roland. of New Hol
land, one of whom was killed, and one wounded'
Jima Par rrEns.—The Pennsylvania Reporter
says:—ln all our accquantariCe with jour printers.
we scarcely ever saw one that was either a fool or
a coward. Whenever there is fun. they are there—
where dangei 2 is most imminent there they are
sure to be found. At the call of their country
none respond more heartily. or in its service dis
play more zeal and ability, and in the present cri
sis of our affairs, these latter quallities are develo

SEVEN GENzarrioNs.—The Newburgh, N. Y.
Telegraph states that Robert Barnes, of New Win
sor. aged eighty, has lived to see seven generations
of his blood. He has seen his great grandfather,
his grandfather, himself, his children. his grand
children, and some dozen or more of his great
grand children . . He served his country in the
war of the Revolution, has reared and educated a
good family, and still promises fair to live many
years to cheer by his happy temperament, and to
admonish them up the wisdom of his experience.
Mr. B. has always been, and still is a Democrat.

GEORGE DARSIE, THOMAS J. BINGHAM, AND
In noticing the glaring inconsistency of the
anti-masonir and masonic Whig Convention in giv
-1 ing George Darsie the go-by and in re-nominating
the members by acclamation, you exhibited the
mongrel assemblage in a ridiculous light, but you
do not exhibit it in the full grossnes of the reality.
George Darsie had in two different sessions carried
an acceptable bill through the 4 Fenate and handed
it over to the House. and in that body it was last
year. under the guardianship of Thos. J. Bigham
and his associates, fairly murdered. The present
year, when it came to the House the Allegheny del
egation seem to have abandoned the charge of the
bill from a consciousness of the want of tact or
talent necessary to manage it properly, and permit
ted Mr. Burrell. from Westmoreland, to take the
control of it. Through his exertions the bill was
carried through, though greatly deteriorated in
that House, and yet the hybrid Convention kill off
Mr. Darsie and.nominate Messrs. Bigham, Brack
enridge, Hilands and M'Curdy, by acclamation,
on account of their exertions for the Railroad.:
Most laughable inconsistency !
A TRUE WHIG,
The time has arrived when the democracy of
Old Allegheny should cast about for suitable can-,
didates to be placed before the people for their suf

opponents are in the field. Let us charge in close
column of attack, with the gallant Col. M'Cand
i less on the right. Col. Roddy Patterson or Maj
Large on the left, and let the file leaders be men
of known courage, men who have stood by their
principles in times of danger, and my word for it,
there will be wigs on the green, on the second,
Tuesday of October, and here permit me to name!

George A. Kurt.. as a suitable person to repre- j
,sent this county in the State Legislature. Mr K.
is an old resident of twenty five years standing in

conduct during the whole of lust session. and hid
preeminent talents, united with an uncommon
greel , f tact and an e and forcible stvle
of address, gave to him an influence which probal

effects, and will long and gratelully remembeti

We freely endorse the following from the '•Ar

MAIL AND WAR STEAMERS
A letter from Washington. published in the New
ark Daily Advertiser, furnishes the following inter
esting iniMmation:
I notice in several of the leading New York
city papers the announcement that the Postmaster
General has entered into a "conditional . ' contract
with Mr. E. K. Collins, of that city, for the trans
portation of European mails, by steamers to be
built expressly for such ..q..rvice, between New York
adia Liverpool. Feeling an juiciest in this subject
I have taken the trouble to ascertain from the -De
partment how far, if at all. this announcement is
correct, and am authorized by the Postmaster Gen
eral to state that there is an troth whaterer in the
statement, as no such contract has been entered into
between him and Mr. Collins or any other gentle
man.
The fart is. and (it \ may have given rise to the
report of the -conditional - contract—one not re
cognized by the Post Office laws.) Mr. Collins,
when in this city sorne time since, submitted a
proposition to the P. M. G. for the transportation
of the mails between New York and Liverpool,
which received his approval, and was communica
ted to the Committee on the Post Office, of the
House. accompanied with the recommendation of
the Department. Since then the whole subject has
been referred to the Cons. on Naval Affisirs, the
Corn. on the P. 0. having been discharged from its
further consideration at its own request. The Na
val Committee have had the subject under consid
eration. and a bill and report upon the same have
been matured and will, as I understand, be report
ed to the House on Wednesday from that Com
mittee.
I learned that the committee will report in fa
vor of establishing a mail service by sea steamers
' between New York and Liverpool, and between
New York and New Orleans, touching at Havana
each way; also, a monthly steamer between New
Orleans and Chagres for the transportation of a
mail to the Pacific Coast, crossing the isthmus
from that point. These steamers. as the bill will
provide, are to he cortstracted under the supervi
sion of a naval architect appointed by the Gov
ernment, and to be in every respect adapted to
war purposes whenever their services may be re
quired, anti to be commanded by officers of the
navy during the term of the mail contract, which
it stipulates shall be for ten years, the remunera
tion to centractor being the gross receipts from
postages. excepting the Chagres route, for which
a specific compensation is provided by the bill.
Should the bill alluded to, be reported from the
Naval Committee. and concerning which there can
be but little doubt, and pass into a law, there will
• then shortly he established regular weekly corn
a munication between New York, Havana, and
New Orleans. the steamers running in connexion
with a semi-monthly line bdtween New York and
Liverpool, thus affording facilities to New Orleans
and Havana merchants of a highly important cm
, mercial character, which they will not fail proper
ly to appreciate. In addition there to it carries in
to practical operation the enterprise of a National
Steamer Marine, combining the carriages of the
mail with coast defence and protection, the Gov
ernment thus having at command, without any
Isxtraordinary expenditure, a very important addi
tional force for marine and harbor defence.
The outlay required of the Government, in or
der to set afloat the eight or ten steamers. contem-
I plated in the forthcoming report from the Naval
Committee, is extremely small, and in no wise com
mensurate with the important service these mail
steamers may be called upon to perform, from their
conversion from peaceful and utilitarian purposes to
those of warlike character-L-should the contingen
cy unhappily afise requiring such a change. In
that event, it may be safely affirmed that the im
mence commerce, having its outlet in the Gulf of
Mexico. which is now exposed, naked and defence.
less. and which would be potinced upon by the Brit
ish Government from their depots in Bermuda and
the Bahamas, will find in these vessels almost its
sole reliance for convoy and protection, since their
.air #a~+ps~ ...«-u~ .._ ~..--~.:k , - ~
size 'and draught twill be such as Is particularly
"suited to the 'navigation of that quarter.
In referenie to the steamer to carry the mail to
•
the Pacifiefroin NeW Orleans via Chagres, tonating
at Havana. the iMportanee of the same to the Paci
fic squadron, andithe Oregon region can be easily
estimated—the communication being kept up On
the other side by sailing vessels.
Mr. Knee, of IGeo. to whom the subject was
particularly referred by the Naval Committee, of
subject in consequence of the error into which sev
eral of the New York press have, been led with re
gard to a certany"conditional contract" between
the P. M. General and a distinguished merchant of
that city, Mr. F. K. Collins, for the transportation
of the mail bet Ween New York and Liverpool.
That which is atated above may be considered as
reliable information.
"It is reported that twenty gunners, two ser
geants, two corporals, and two bombardiers. under
the command of Capt. Blackwood, are to be des
patched by the British government in their war
steamer, the Terrible, to Oregon early next month,
the vessel is to take an adequate supply of guns
and stores; and li.ooo excavators are to be sent to
the same destination with all possible speed. This
force and these men are professedly sent to the
Hudson Buy Cdinpany's territory, but it would
be useless to shut our eyes to the fact that the bare
announcement of such an expedition, while the
territory in qaeStion forms the subject of negocia
lion between the two governments, is calculated
to produce no small excitement in America a
mongst the parties who have been striving so zeal
ously to fan the smouldering embers into a blaze."
[ Warner /- Smith's Eurycan Times.
For the Morning Post
It is a very remarkable fact that, while the A
merican Senate is hesitating in the discharge of a
high duty, by refusing to consurnate the great
measure of protection to out citizens in Oregon,
the English government, under the convenient dis
guise of the Hudson's Bay Company, with the
promptitude characteristic of them. are 'taking
time by the forelock" by making such ample pre
parations as areidicatell by the article we have
quoted stove. Whether the passage of the notice
itself will not tender this measure on our part of
the last importance. is a questhin that we regard
as beyond doubt: and is it not fair to presume
that it was the announcement of the success of the
-notice." which intluced the adoption of the pre
parations alluded to by the British Government!
Our citizens, with their wives and children, are
now pouring into Oregon; the settlers have organ
ised a legislative council of their own, and have
appealed eloquently and strongly to Congress, for
protection. Is it not therefore essentially necessa
ry that the bill now slumbering on the table of the
t'enate. and an eflin.t to postpone which to Drawl
lov "ext, is now under discussion in that body,
should be pas,ed speedily! Let Mein not go th ere

ITIGHLY IMPORTANT NEWS FROM THE
SOUTH.—The following extract of a letter is
from a very respectable - Mercantile House, dated
Wasitucurars, Rappahannock Co.; Va.,l
Mai 26, 1846.
Data Sin:--Our Mr. Jones has been in a very low
state of health for more than a year; he has had the
benefit of the best medical advice our country al,
fords, and also visited your - city during last summer,
but found no relief. On the-15th day of April last
we purchased half a dozen bottles of your- TONIC
VERMIFUGE, and half a dozen boxes of SANA,
TIVE PILLS. Through carelessness in packing the
articles in a dry goods box, one half the Vermifue.
was broken. Mr. Jones commenced with the pills,
and after taking a few doses felt a decided improve
ment. The three bottles of ! Vermifuge which came
safe to hand, brought from him, he thinks, not less,
than ONE THOUSAND WORMS, and perhaps many
more. He is now in better health than he has beek
in for years. and we hope a few more bottles of your) ,
Vermifuge and Pills will effect a permanent cure.--.'
All our phyficians have entirely mistaken his case,
Prof. Samuel Jackson, of your eity,at the head. AA
to our responsibility, we have to refer you to Messrs,
Inskip, Molen & Woodruff, Silk House, Market at.,
near Fourth, andnieskell, Hoskins &Co., corner of
Fifth and Market i sts. Mr. Jones is most anxious to
get more_ of your Pills and Vermifuge as soon as pos..
Bible. Respectfully, J. B. JONES & CO.
