PENNSVLVANIA Having already given our readers a few facts, showing the importance of the agricul *al and coal and iron interests of l'ennsyls V i ania, we shall close the subject for the pres ent by giving a few statistics, from which the leading position of our State in other branches df wealth producing industry may hr. inferred. In cotton,man:ltactures Pennsylvania ranks Se and to Massachusetts in the list of States, the former having 208 establishments in . I=so, itnd the latter 213. The value of product in Pennsylvania war 5 322;262. In inanufge tares of Woolen Goods. Pennsylvania has 3wu establishments against 249 in New York and 116 •in Massachusetts. The amount of pro I luct annually produced is $5,321,866. In department, New - Y or's and Massachusetts exceed our State in the value of product, the !establishments being larger though not so nu imerous, Upwards of 17,000 persons have employment iu these two branches. In Phil , adelphta alone, there are three thousand hand !looms at work in addition to machinery. We 'give below itaigures the estimated capital ein ployed and liable produced, in a variety of in dustrial products, which estimates are prob ably under tether than over the mark.

Of the annual value of our forest produc- I tions, it is not easy to form a correct estimate. There are in the state about 5,500 saw mills producing about 500,000 000 feet of timber, and the value of utisar. , u timber, shingles. staves &e., sent to market reaches probably a [Hill on of dollars nor annum. To this niut be added the amount consumed :it holm , . and wood 'wed for charcoal for our furnac, s, of which no calculation can be made:. Thus briefly and imperfectly, we are coins pelted to admit, we have 'endeavored to give our readers some slight idea of the importance of our State as a wealth producer. Upon this is based our commerce with other States, and with the world, and to its necessities are we indebted for the vast system of ralroads, canals and other internal improvements, all over the State. The extent of her territory, her unbounded immaterial rescourcei, the int els ligenco of her population, and her geographi cal position in the centre of our nation, com bine to render Pennsylvania the most impor tant State in the confederation. This posit ion has been conceded to her .as . the Keystone of the Union. Her political influence is a mighty and controlliii:v ow). It is no idle boast that "as goes Pennsylvania so goes ti e Union." Her people are not ambitious, but they are most soundly patriotic, and her sister States regard her importance in a political point of view more carefully than do her own citizens. They are not accustomed to self I udation t'o the degree that afflicts some of their southern neighbors, but they feel a just pride in speaking of those solid advantag s which their State possesses in a peculiar tie gree, and as to many of which she stands p e eminent among her fellows. John Mackin, Esq., of this city, has been appointed Flour Inspector, and Charles 'Barnett, Sealer of Weights and Measures. These appointments will give general satis ' faction to the public and the Democracy WE understand the remains of Captain P. N, Guthrie will be brought here from Cincins nati, for interment at the Allegheny Cemetery, on Thursday or Friday of this wei k. Captain Guthrie at one time commanded the Duquesne Greys ol this city, which company will, of course, turn out upon this occasion, and make such'arrangements, in advance, as will ensure a full parade. A ileautArttl Picture. Thu Rev. J.

The paint inettleasurenseven by nine feet, and is intend ed to be placed in the rear of the altar. This painting received the highest commendation from the German school of artists to whom it was submitted, and it gives us pleasure to re cord the evident incre se of appreciation (.1 the fine arts in this country. 'l'he frame for this painting has been executed by J. J. Gil lespie, Wood street, and reflects the highest credit upon the workmanship of that estab lishment.

Each steam engine requires constantly at the station an engineer. two firemen, and two drivers under full pay, and four or five men required at fires who receive each sixty dollars a year. It is a well settled tact in political econo my that volunteer labor costs the most in the end. The advantages of a paid fire tlepart , merit over zi vol untary system, are obvious, from an examination of such figures as those. Even the paid sy ‘t(in which prevails in our sister city of Allegheny has proved itself far preferable in an economical point of view. The cost of our present system, must not be estimated by the niggeredly amount appro priated by the city. In order to get alctig at all, the Fire Department is compelled to ask con slant contributions fr.. in the public. It will not be difficult however to establish a better system if the people will carefully consider the subject, and ask for proper legis lation. The Steam Fire Engine, paid firemen, and a small tax upon buildings to meet the expenses, would in the end save to our citizens hundreds of thousands of dollars directly and indirectly. The moral benefit to the community which would result frem the change of eye' em would be great and desirable. We have thrown out those remarks at the present time because we learn that the subject is under considera• Lion of a co ~mittee of the City Councils, and the Firemen's Association. Al,ll I 4 Tllid; WAY TO DO IT The desire honestly to acquire wealth, or at least a c mpeteucy, and that as speedily as possible, is a praiseworthy element in Amer ican characier. It is a mainspring to indus try— a motive to r economy —an incentive to en ergy and exertion. and the chief element of social prosperity. It is not money which is the `•root of all evil "---it is the inordinate /or., of it, and he, who "buys and selle to get gait) with the design of making that gain useful to himself and others, a good citizen. Each nne seeks for the best means to increase his hwiness, but in Pittsburgh the lever by which the world is moved is certainly not ful ly appreciated. If the continuance of an old hue of trade, or the establishment of a new one is to be quickly an'd successfully effected, ADVERTISING is the method l y which to do it. Many business men feel that they have as good a right to a fair share of trade as their fellows -they have stocks as good and sell as cheap as their neighbors—but they recieve less patron age than "is their dne, because they neglect to to advertise. The politician knows the value of the press—he uses it to advance his ends the charlatan knows it too, and gets rich through the influence of printer's ink, and the sound, sensible merchant stands in his own light, when he refuses to make use of the press to advance his own interests. The ad vertising columns of the newspaper are the di rectory which purchasers seek as their guide in choosing where they will buy. The advai , tages of advertising are well understood and well used by certain classes of dealers, but others cry out "humbug," and are content to enjoy a dignified quietude in their warehouses, stores and workshops, while their neighbors are growing rich. The Spring Trade is now at hand, and if our merchants wish to let the buying world know what Pittsburgh has to sell, the way to di it is to ADVERTISE. It is the interest of all, who wish to sell their goods and enlarge their trade, to let the buyers know what they have and where they are, and NOW is the time to do it. In looking over our California files, we find that Lieut. Beale with fourteen camels ar rived at Los A.ngelos on the Bth of January. The appearance of these uncouth animals created great excitement among the people. The annuals under Lieutenant Beale have all grown serviceable, and many of them are well broken to the saddle and are very gentle. The San Francisco Bulletin says that all the Camels belong to the one hump species, ex cept one, which is a cross between the one and two hump kinds. This fellow is much larger and more powerful than either sire or darn. Lie is a grizzly looking hybrid, a camel mule of colossal proportions, and weighs 2200 pounds. Their drivers say they would get fat were a donkey would starve to death. The camels are now on their return to the Colorado River, for the purpose of carrying provisions for Lieutenant Beale and the mili tary escort, who, it is conjectured, will penes tra'e from thence as far as possible into the Mormon country. Afterwards, Lieutenant Beak will return by the new wagon route that be has surveyed, to verify it ; and so on to Washington. He was expected to reach the capital before the first of March, in order to lay his report before Congress. New Newspaper Regal 'Along The Post Office regulations prescribe that newspapers posted in the United States for the United Kingdon, or vice versa, it found to contain writing or any enclosure, shall, at the option of the despatching country, either be stopped and sent to the dead-letter office or be forwarded charged with full letter post. age, United States and British combined : and it the writing or enclosure be detected in the country to which such newspapers are seat a like course shall be adopted.

Mr. Doolittle referred to the ii.traortlinery .tote meet of the Senator from South Caroli..a, charging the North with brealig the plighted faith and plun- tiering the South by !Cleans of a National Bank and tariffs. It was not tha North that repudiated the Compact of 1787, or the a"omproinise of 1828. to national banks and tatiffs, he showed fridu time record that the greatest srare-inan of the South, Mr. Calhoun, supported the very tariff he [Mr. diem mond] complained of lie also voted for a national bank and supported internal imprevements. Refer ring to Mr. llisuautorid's estimate relative to the re s„urces of the North and South, he said that the hr 3 crop of the United States surpassed in value tio whole cotton crop of the South, and to tho taunt the northern laborers were slaves, he stated that his cwt father was a laborer, and that other gentleman on that floor stood in tide Came category, and he asked if he and they were to branded as the sons of slaves? He then passed to Kansas, showing the inconsistero.y of the advocates of Lecompton. he President Lewes the legality of that Constitution en the Kansas Ne braska act. Mr. Hammond takes different ground, es oontehding thdt the sovereignty of Kansas is vest, S in the sovereignty of States, to lie exorcised by Coe grass alone. The Senator from TO.l3`.`,!ESOelaces it in the people of Kansas independent of the Territorial Legislature and independent of the enablima ac', while the Senator from Georgia asserts it to be in the Territorial Legislature. He [Doolittle] contended that if the sovereignty vas-ideal In time people, the T. , peka Constitution is a legal instrument. He then examined the claims of the two Constitution:, t h e , Topeka and the Lecompton, contending that the lat ter was invalid bee:mist the Kansas Nebraslta act conferred nu powers to all a Convention, while the former grew out f voluounary appeal to the people themselves, and was perfectly legal. In an swer to the question : Why did not the Free State Men in Kansas, if in the majority, vote for delegates to the Convention ? lie showed by numerous familiar facts that in many eases they could net vote, in con sequence of several eotintiee being disfranchised, and also that they had been solemnly assured that the Constitution would be submitted to the approval of the people. This assurance was given by General Calhoun himself, as well as by Mr. Buchanan in his message, and through chosen organs of Messrs. Walker and Stanton. 11 , denied the correctness of the President's assertienehat when the slavery clause was submitted all was dena that was necessary. There were many other qtieeehieii - s which should have been submitted; amoug others, relative to hankie Know Nothings, and a clause requiring the tleveirma to be a citizen for twenty years, etc. Ho further de nied that the slavery clause had ever fairly been submitted. He then sketched the current eveets since- it was first proposed to repeal the Missouri Compromise, instancing the Achison meetings in Missouri, which passed resolutions that Missouri would extend her institutions over Kansas et what. ever cost of blood, and contending that these meet ings, as well as Lecompton itself, were the direct fruit of that repeal. The programme of these meet ings was carried out in full; the Missourians with bowie knife and revolver in va led Kansas, usurped the Legislature, and in three short weeks enacted the whole code of Missouri. There stands the appalling fact; there is no mantle of shame wide enough to cover it; one more act only is wasting—to pass this act, and history will declare , that in the same year when Russia emancipates slaves, republican America is trampling down her principles of independence, and imposes a Constitution un her Territories estab lishing slavery. Here the Senate received the House Printing bill. Mr. Foster said that he would never assent to an other State North ief 36° 30', entering the Union with slavery. He considered himself hound by the ordinance of 1787, and would never recognize its re peal. Referring to ihe 7th article of the Lecompti n Constitution assertiug the right of property in slaves, hu said that the principle enunciated was a reproach is the ago; it would have been outrageous to have incorporated such a principle even in a Cm stitution made for a Southertit,State. Ile alluded to a clause in the bill of righted glaring that no f. ee negro shall live in the territory Ile thought it a strange clause to exist in a republican constitution. Mr. Green reminded him that the Souls provision exists in the Topeka Constitution. Mr. Foster was not advised that the Topeka Con stitution had been received by the Senate. lie did not believe that it Containael such a clause. 'There is no question, he continued, that by the Lecompton Constitution, free negroes must be killed. Mr. Green asked if the Senator contended that free negroes entering free States having provisions forbidding them, as Illinois for instance, must be killed. Mr. Foster's replied ltd: the Lecempten C.mstitu tion says so much ; it says that no freeman Cali be exiled ; no free negroes can live there. Mr. Green—Tile Senator's argument is absurd. Mr. Trumbull captained that the law of Illinois provided for the tree negro. It was riot in the Con stitution that the law dt-! - o-•=, f him Mr. Green— Hew Mr. Trumbull—litres Com out. Mr. Green—Kansas will du the came. Mr. Foster proceeded, reading the clause providing ter a change in the Con: etutiou, oontending that tie direct meaning is that the pe.ple may alter every. thing hut the slavery clause; slavery is t, he per petual ; establish that Constitution, and it can never be taboliehed except by the consent ,very s l ave _ holder. . - - Mr. Mason asked if the Senator understood that Congress has power to lock into State Constitutions, with the view of determining the relations of per sons held in servitude? He asked for the informa tion of his people as to the Senator's views. Mr. Foster explained; if the territexy have within itself principles at war with liberty, Congress had the right to reject it. Mr. Mason said in reply that it throw a flood of light on the principles actuating the Republican party. If be understood the Senator, Congress had the power to decide whether the government was Republican in form, if it established slavery it is not Republican.

Mr. Taylor contended that7no:court of a foreign country had a right to condemn an American vessel, for a failure to carry rights in the absence of an American law requiring such practice. The act of France was an attack upon our sovereignty, an in fringement upon the law of nations, tie thought that owing to the importantprineipleB involved imme diate steps ,hould be taken by the government rela tire to the matter. The subject was referred to the committee on For eign Affairs. The Iluu:e passed the bill appropriating $,310,000 to pay the deficiency printing bills o: Thirty third and Thirty-fourth Congress, and then took up the Consular and Diplomatic appropriation bill. Mr. Bocock replied to Mr. Millson contending or the legitimate: construction of the Kansas-Nebras a Bill. He did not encourage teritorial sovereignty, and that the Lecompton constitution was the work m the people of Kansas. Mr. Dawe4 criticized the Presidents' Special Me: sage, and denounced Lecompton as the creature t. fraud and the legitimate fruits of slavery. Ad'ourned. From Ilovanti.
