OUR WEEKLY
The Weekly Post, published to-day, con
tains the proceedings of theCTavarltibre and
a great variety of editorial, local, and 'gene
ral news. The mammoth Weekly costs but
1 per year in clubs of five. Now is the time
to subscribe as the fall campaign is at viand.

THE Patriot and Union and the Keystone
have united. If two good papers joined can
make one better one, and this we think is
the fact, we shall now have a capital paper
from the capital city of the State.
TRH. DIFFERENCE
We have recently been cognizant of an ex
change of property between e gentleman of
the city, and one of the country, a few
miles from the city. The exchange was . made
between the parties evenly, ueither paying
the other a difference. During the transaction
it transpired that on these pieces oflirbperty,
both of equal value, the taxes hard byby the
country gentleman were $9 per year, while
he of the city paid $45. This is equalized
taxation with a vengeance. The city people
will soon begin to turn their attention to the
manifest inequality that exists in the assess
ment in city and country, and to provide p
remedy' if possible. The cities have long
enough paid the lion's share of the expenses
of the county government, while the country
people have been reaping the greater part
of the benefits.
THE Greensburg, Blairsville, and other
papers of the District, speak in the most en
couraging Perms of the certainty of the elec
tion of Hon. H. D.F Oster, to Congress in the
Westmoreland Dititrict. It can be done with
a little effort, and we have not a doubt_it will
be done.
Wows from London
Yesterday at noon we received telegraphic
dispatches from London, relative to the cessa
tion of the Chinese War, dated on the provious
evening. This is wonderful—scarcely con
ceivable. Only one day from London world
seem like annihilating time and 'space, yet
we observe that the fast people of New York
are begining to grumble at the length of time
required to send messages across the water.
Wait till the Hughes Instruments are put
operation and we shall have daily news
from London.
A Telegraph to India.
A London letter says thst this construction
of a line of telegraph to India, by the Red
Sea route, has been at length ageed upon.—
The government are to guarantee four and a
half per cent. on.the requisite capital, for fifty
years, and the shares of the Company by
whom the work is to be carried out have, ac
cordingly, already been dealt out at a premi
um equal to about five per cent. The cable
from Suez to Aden is first to be laid. This
is about half the entire distance and the cost
is estimated at about £500,000. Messrs.
Newall, the manufacturers of the Atlantic
cable, have offered to construct it L and lay it
down at their own risk for that amount
What Our Neighbors Think of Lis.
The Greensburg Argus copies our article
upon the subject of repudiation, tvith the fel , -
lowing remarks :
On the 18th inst., a Convention of Delegates
from the different townships and boroughs in Al
legheny county, calling themselves a Democratic
Convention, met and nominated a Repudiation
ticket, as they are pleased to call it. That is,
a ticket pledged to repudiate or refuse to pay
__the city and county subscription to railroads.—
The Convention was uproarious, and refused to
permit Judge Wilkins to read a resolution, faint
ly endoriing the State and National adminise
tration. Now, we look upon repudiation in in
dividuals, brokers, banks, or other corporate
bodies, as rank dishonesty; and it eertainly re
quires a great deal - of assurance far a body of
men to call themselves Democrats, and stand on
such a disreputaole platform. They aro neither
at heart or practice Democrats : and we most
sincerely hope the. whole ticket will be defeated.
We are glad to perceive, from the following arti
cle,which we copy from the Daily Poet, the only
democratic paper in Allegheay county, that our
friend Barr, the sole editor, repudiates the plat
form. We commend it to the careful attention
of all who sympathise with tnis nail party.
We disagree with oar-friend of the Argus.
in his desire fur the non-success of the Dem,•
ocratic ticket. It is the regularly nominated
• ticket of our party—it is a good ticket—it is
the beet ticket before the people—and as such
we shall do all in our power for its success.
The platform is another thing. No Convert"
tion can bind us to a platform which is is
not a Democratic one.
The State Bank of Indiana.
The following dividend hae be_en declared
The branches at Fort Wayne, Terra Haute,
Vincennes, Indianapolis and Evansville ten
per cent.: Lawrenceburg and South Bend twen
ty per cent.; Madison five per cent. It is
now demonstrated that the State of Indiana
will realize about $2,000,000 clear profit
through ite.connection with the bank and the
sinking fund.
—A man -named Neyhassayl, a native of Bo
hemia, murdered his little boy on Saturday last
near Chicago by splitting his head open with
an ax. The boy was about live years old. No
nun' is assigned for the unnatural deed.
The Hon. William A. Porter passed
through our city on Thursday, on his...way to
one of the northern counties, remaining for
a short time at the St. Charles 'Hotel, where
he was called upon by a number of his per-
sonal and political friends. We have hereto
fore spoken of Judge Porter as filling the
high position which he occupies with the most
distinguished ability. Wo have not the
slightest doubt that the suffrages of the peo
ple, next October, will, by a large majority,
retain upon the Supreme Bench this distin.
guished gentleman and most excellent Judge.
Indeed, the only objection which, as yet, the
opposition has urged against him has been on
account of his age. Upon this subject the
York Gazette recently published an able and
excellent article. That paper says that, un-

able, as yet, to point out a single objection to
him as regard his legal nbiliiy, u- his private
character, the opposition journals have been
forced to take the absurd and ridiculous posi
tion that he is too young to entrust with the
important duties of the judiciary. The old
fogyism of such an attack upon our nominee,
insulting to the young and active intellects of
this great commonwealth, has been properly
disposed of by the article we have alluded to,
and we feel confident that it will meet with a
more stern and decided rebuke from the peo
ple at the polls. Since the nomination of
Judge Porter by the Democratic State Con ,
vention, we have carefully looked over the
grounds, and every day we see the strongest
evidences of the wisdom of that body in
placing him on the Democratic ticket. There
is no doubt in our mind of his being able to
poll as many Democratic votes, as any candi
date that could have been selected. his su-
JUDGE, PORTER.
perior attainments, his unbending integrity,
and his amiable and agreeable deportment,
have secured to him hosts of friends through•
out the State, who will bravely struggle for
his success. The calm and dignified manner
in which he refused, after his appointment by
Gov. Packer, to drag the judicial ermine into
the arena of politics„has won the respect and
confidence of all parties, and gives the posi
tive assurance that, in no event, will he per
mit the purity of the Bench, so far as he can
prevent it, to be soiled by the thick dust rais
ed by scuffling partisans. In fact, he has al
ready gained the appellation of the " model
Judge," and the peuple of Pennsylvania will
attest their high 4pprecilttibu_uf his worth as
a.rnan, - and his character as a lawyer, by keep
ing him in the position he so signally adorns.
His opponent, John M. Read, of Philadel
phia, is a gentleman of considerable ability.
Until a few years past he was an active and
bitter Democrat. lu consequence of his abo
lition tendencies, he abandoned our national
party when Black Republicanism sprung into
existence, and he has been rewarded for his
treason by being made the leader of the very
men to whom he was personally antagonistic
duringds long and earnest political life. He
was unable to secure the delegates from his
own city, who were instructed fur Judge
Thompson : but being the favorite candidate
of Thaddeus Stevens, this adroit Rnd cun•
ning politician managed to pull the wires in
such a way as to secure the selection of his
friend and ally. The people will never en
dorse a nomination made by such a man, and
in such a manner. They see in William‘A,
Porter a hapu combination of the upright
lawyer, the able judge, the honest man, and
the christian gentleman, and they will not
trust their hopes and interests to " a Read
shaken by the wind," and blown about by
the fickle winds of Black Republicanism !

The Marriage of Mr. Care's Daughter
STONINUTON, August 24, 1bi7.8-
Our little village has been thrown into a high
state of excitement by the arrival of General
Cass, the Secretary of State, and the marriage
of his daughter, Miss Isabella Case, to the Min
ister from the King of the Netherlands, M. Van
Limburg, yesterday.
The ceremony took place in Calvary ohuroh,a
very neat Episcopal churoh, the rector, Rev.
Daniel C. Merton, officiating. Though occur
ring in the church edifice, it was strictly private.
About two o'clock in the afternoon the bride en
tered, escorted by her father and followed by M.
Van Limburg and two of General Cass's married
daughters—Mrs. Canfield and Mrs. Ledyard—
together with Mr. Ledyard and his family, and
Mr. Zimmerman, the New York Consul for the
Netherlands.
The bridewas dressed in a neat silk traveling
suit, of the color of ashes of rose, and light
French hat of mazarine blue. From her appear
ance I should, judge the blooming bride to be
about forty years of age. M. Van Limburg ap
peared to much advantage. Evelything was
conducted in the most simple and unostentatious
manner.
After the marriage service, the party proceed
ed to the vestry, and then to the Wandawanuk
1101160. The happy pair proceeded to Newpoat
in the three o'clock train, where they will occu
py the private cottage of M. Van Limburg.
A salute of fifty gluts were fired by com
mander It. T. Loper, from the faet Yacht Mad
gio, which was oovered with flags and streamers
The Crops In Tatar
a. W. Kendall writes to the Now Orleans
Picayuue the folllowing statement regarding
the corn and Chinese sugar cane crops in
Texas :
There is to be no want of corn in western
Texas, for every field width escaped the ray
egss of the grasshoppers. is yielding abundant
ly, and many localities escaped these pests en
tirely. The crop of Chinese sngar-oane, which
laughs at grasshoppers and draughts, is at the
same time immense, and the first heads of ripe
seeds are already gathered. Some of my neigh
bors are having it ground, and are making
bread of it, epeaking_ of it in commendable
terms, while everywhere they are preparing to
grind the stalks and convert the juice into syrup
or molasses. That this is to be a valuable addi
tion to oar crops in this seolionothere can be no
doubt; it stands a drough better than any other
plant—is no more affected by dry weather than
a good article of bread—so many say ; the leaves
make an excellent fodder; while the stalks can
be converted into molasses and perhaps sugar—
nothing is lost. I have often heard it stated that
the grain is hurtful, to horses, and this may be
so; yet if any one has ans of it to spare, I am
willing to feed it out to my work animals as an
experiment, and will run all risks of its injuring
them. In fact, I fed out no inconsiderable quan
tity of it last year, and would have used it more
freely, had I had it to spare. A bushel of it
weighs some forty-eight pounds, or eight pounds
less than a bushel of corn. We have not yet
learned all its uses.

LYNDHURST, NEAR BALTIMORE, July 29, 1858.
Afy d ear
. Judge:—No one of your friends has
witnessed with more pleasure than I have the
general approbation you seem to be receivingat
hands of the Democracy of Illinois.
The impulse, to say this to you, is, under the
circumstances, so strong that I hope to be ex
on for yielding to it. That there should oc
casionally be differences of opinion amongst men
of generally concurring sentiments is not at all
to wondered at. The only wonder there should
be is, that these differences are of more frequent
occurrence. To exact universal accordance in
all measures of political policy, however contra
ry they may be to to past, opinions, sanctioned
at the time by general approval, and to ostracise
those who differ, and especially on a measure
from its very nature of temporary duration and
influence, is not only unmixed party tyranny,
but the very essence of folly. And yet, this ie
the character of the hostility which some of the
Democratic presses are now co ruthlessly waging
against you. Professing to be, to the very heart's
core, opposed to Republicanism as understood in
these times, and to all its adherents, they me
certainly doing, whether knowingly ur a r, all
Ithat they can to elect to the Senate el'. the United
States, from your State, a leader of that party,
who, judging from his reported ep.eolaeri, is deep •
ly and incurably dyed in every one of its politi
cal and fatal heresies A leader, whose success
on your defeat will be hailed everywhere by hie
followers as the death knell of the Democratic
party, and carry well caused alarm to those who
look to the preservation of the peace, true inter
ests and duty of every Silt' of the Union, and
be considered the triumph of a deep seated, hit
ter malignity, or blind unreasoning prejudice to
the Southern States. The madness of such
course naturally excites special wonder amongst
all the friends of the present admiuistratiou,
who iook only to its true honor and success, un
influenced by petty motives of personal spite to
one who, like yourself, has for so many years
with signal ability and unquestioned good faith,
contributed so much to further the general meas
ures of policy which hive of late years eetab
fished, and with truth to the party, the title of
National.
The excuse, such as it is, (it is the only one,)
that you did not agree with the President's Ott
mate policy is the liausas matter, is too flimsy
to deceive an honest observer. That policy, It
is to be remembered, was net the one which the
President adopted in the beginning. He assum
ed his published instructions to Governor Walker,
as a fact not doubted by him, that the Constitu
tion which the territorial oouveutien would form
would be in good faith and in its entirety to be sub
mitted to the people. He evidently did nut thiuk
it possible, (and who did, who was net In the
secret?) that such submission would be in a
form that would give the people no opportunity
to pass judgment upon the minetitutiou at all,
that solely on a collateral matter, having uoth,
ing to do with a single clause in the instrument.
As a matter of policy, as Pelt au of justice, that
this was a grave crier, no ,Ine, uabittecd mind
can 1 think, ba t. unit to question But this
being Lt.mi I tee Pre , ideut es evict
ed it bent to euLli.tt. ~pprJviug;), L, t'

friends, or of the hest and oldest fr ieo.k , t the
party No ii.astaur alli.i,.ativeiy who
wasL,in Washington at 11.0 time, aU..I
observer of all that was then dune and said,
That the President iiatcd conscientiously, and
as he believed fur the best, I have no doubt , but
very many of his truest and feeetest Irten,Li o n
tertained a different eptuion. These thought
that the proper course was to submit the matter
to Congress, udthout executive endorsement or
disapprobation, to be disposed of an that body
might deew the hest. I eeutees that this was
my own opinion. But when he had decided
otherwise, final and pretty general aoquiesence
in the measure was given from a desire to have
a mailer so fruitful of mischievous uneasiness
in the country settled, and from a conviction
that in the way proposed it could be settled.—
And 1 see no present reason for doubting the
accuracy of this belief. But are those who con
tinue to think otherwise to be on that account
vilified and denied communication with the par
ty ? Is that to be the result of an honest per
severance in an original opinion, concurred in,
perhaps, at the time, by a majority of the par
ty ? Are its deadliest foes—foes to nearly all of
its past and probable future policy to be brought
into power through the instrumentality of a war
fare carried ou from the mere indulgence of the
and personal hatred which the pursuit
of honest convictions may have engendered ?
Udder such suicidal blindness what party can
long survive I Is inability to agree in every
measure proposed, which ultimately receives the
approval of a majority, conclusive evidence of
want of proper party fealty 1 If so, how can
tio many now be favored teen:there of the Demo..
oratio party, who at the first did not eandtion the
policy of repealing tho Missouri slavery restric
tion ? These are, I know, to be found South as
well as North, and amongst these doubtless can
be ranged ;h.. President himself. Who believes,
had he at that period been in the legislative
councils of the nation, that he would have given
that measure his support 1 I certainly no more
believe it than that had I been there, Southern
man as I atri,not blindly i hope, bat strongly and
affectionately, with equal attachment to the
other States, it would have received my support.
But yet, is the President, because of such dif
femme with his party, less to be esteemed an
honest and faithful trod honored member of it
I cannot, therefore, but marvel at, as touch as
I lament, the bitterness and madness of the op
position to you of former political assuciates.—
I trust however, sincerely trust, that their un
reasonable oumity will be of no avail, and a tri
umph will follow your prudent, bold, manly and
patriotic canvass—a triumph so vital to the con
tinuieg success of the party, and ae involved in
it the continuing peace and prosperity of the
oonntry.
With great regard, your friend and ob't serv't,

HON. STEPHEN A. Doeuhes, Chicago.
[From the Chicago liatetto and E.egistrt.i
The Pittsburgh, Fort Wayne and Chicago
'Now, by L , alut. Paul, and the wvrh gL , va bravely on
The above quotation is very appropos of the
condition of things along the line of this road
between Plymouth and Chicago (the unfinished
portion" and judging from the determination and
energy which is now being evinced by the Com
pany, and all the parties engaged in this great
enterprise, we can see no reason to doubt the
successful termination of their tabors by the
first of November next. The bridging is also
in a state of forwardness. The long pile bridge
over the Little Calumet river and marsh, in Lake
Co.. Ind , which when completed will be 4,600
feet in length, is now within 800 feet of comple
tion ; a steam pile driver is at work on it capable
of driving fifty feet per day ; a strung force of
carpenters are also at work framing the caps
and stringers, and at such a rate they will tier
taiuly be out of the way before tke track lay
ers approach them. The next and unfinished
ed bridges of any magnitude, are those over
the outlet of Wolf Lake, just below the State
line, and over the Calumet river near Ainsworth,
lil a on both of which steam pile drivers are at
work ; the piles for the latter being nearly all
in, a few days will finish it. The whole of the
pile driving and bridging at the western end of
the road is now being June by Messrs. Fisk &
Axtell of Chicago. The reputation which these
gentlemen have carried for themselves by the
amount of work they have exnouted for the
Illinois Central Railroad Ce., is sufficient guar
autee that the. ability and energy to complete
their work within the given time will nut be
found wantlngin them.
The track laying is now proceeding very saris
, faatorily, arrangements having been lately made
to rush it forward with increased rapidity.-
1 There arc now about twenty miles laid west of
1 Plymouth, leaving sixty-three miles to be laid,
and two additional parties aro now engaged lay•
ing east and west from the crossing of the New
Albany and Salem Railroad The three parties
will now lay from 1. to 2 miles per day, and as
soon a 9 the grading of the sections lying be
tween the Rock Island Railroad Junction and
the Calumet River shall have been completed,
(which will be iu about thirty days,) another
track party will commence laying eastward
from this end of the line. A ballasting party fol
lows each of the track laying parties, so by the
time the track is ready for use it will be in as
good and safe a condition as that of any other
portion of the road. The danger of accident
incidental to all "new track," will by this pre
caution be entirely removed. And from the
thorough and excellent manner in which :this
track is being laid, it will from the first be safer
to travel over than many other tracks that have
been laid for years.
The iron is all provided for. The Company
has about 1500 tons lying at Plymouth, and
about 2000 tons at the end of the roan, and iron
is being delivered at Plymouth from the rolling
mills of Messrs. Wood, Morell & Co., of Johns
town, Penn. at the rate of from 150 to 200 tone
per day. The spikes and chairs are all either
on hands or contracted for. Tbo latter are a
very superior article of "rolled chairs," from the
"Phenix iron works" of Pa. The cross ties
are nearly all delivered along the line of the
road; about 9000 being on hand in Chicago'
ll.R.llrond
and 2000 per week are being received from
Michigan.
The large amount of money (amounting to over
$15,000) necessary' to defray the expense of
this work is promply famished, regularly once
a month, by J. Edgar Thomson, Esq , President
of this Railroad, who ?.upon his own individual
responsibility has ettocessfelly undertaken the
Herculean labor of providing the funds ne,
cessary to finish this road : a task which, we
venture to aosert, undertaken as it was in the
vary face of the revulsion which the busines.l of
the world was then reeling under, could have
been a:c implished by no other man in this coun t
try or Earope. '
We consider it a subject of the heartiest con•
gratulation to all interested, that the control of
this principal eastern route is now invested in
that talented gentleman, who is now at the head
of probably the longest clutinuous line of rail
way in the United States; Chicago to Philadel
phia, 818 miles, exclusive , of Pennsylvania, Ca
nal, Pittsburgh to Columbia, 283 miles, together
with the Portage and Columbia Railroads, lately
purchased of the State of Pennsylvania by the
Pennsylvania Central Railroad Company.
The gentleman whom Mr. Thomson has late
ly placed in charge of the affair: cf ti e Pitts
burgh, Fort Wayne, and Chicago Railroad Gem
parry, as its acting President, is T. Haskins Dn-
Puy, Esq., who has largo experience both as an
engineer and a railroad manager, having been
for many years associated with Mr. Thomson
upon the Pennsylvania Railroad and other enter
prises, and at the present time. also Slis with
marked ability the position of Chief Engineer of
the Canal Department" cf the P•ritisylvattia.
Central Railroad Company.
With such men as these directirg is affairs,
the future of the Pittsburgh, Fart Wayne, and
Chicago Railroad, when it it compitted to Chi
cago, muet certainly be more than hoped for.

Capt. Hancock, with other officers, who went oat
with Gen. Harney, passed Laramie on their way
further west.
The Santa Fe correspondent of the Republican
says the reason why the Navajoe Indians refused
to surrender the murderer of Major Brooks'
negro, is because Brooks positively refused to
indemnify them for some forty horses killed by
the troops, about two months sinee, for trespass
ing on the grazing grounds of Fort Dtfianoe.
Major Brooks gives the Indians until the 12th
inst. to bring in the murderer.

Invention of the !Microscope
It was in 1604, when John Milton's "chief of
men," who had wielded tlpower of England
with a firm eV vlgorons baud, etrangaly con
trasted with the royal but feeble fingers which
previously and subsequently endeavored to direct
it, bad gone to his account, and just after the
rupture of the close union which bad endured
almost without interruption for nearly seventy
years between England and Holland, that a
Dutch youth of eighteen, holding a glass thread
in the flame of a candle, perceived that the melt
ed extremity assumed a spherical form. The
intelligent lad instantly seized on the happy in
cident. He had seen Lea wenbcook manufacture
lenees, such as they were, and went on burning
his glass threads, and attempted to plaeo his lit
tle spheres between two pieces of lead, through
which he made an aperture with a pin's point.
Placing a hair before this simply constructed in
strument, he found, to his great joy, that he was
the maker and possessor of a capital microscope
for those times, and he thus secured to the mi
crographere of the day what they had so long
sought.
