The lumbering business t Clearfield county, as all here know, is immense. ' Away from thosrt nl.iees with which the trade comes di rectly in contact, it is not known that the epo- rations of this business are felt in so wide a range, as is actually .the case. For ' instance, It is not generally known that the spars which are placed in the waters of the Susquehanna in the upper part of this county, are floated to Xorfolk, Virginia, or to Bangor, in the State f Maine ; aud yet this is really the case, and at cheaper rates, vi e believe, than they can be procured from anywhere cls. The ship and boat yards, and manufacturing mills of Phila delphia, Baltimore, Xew York, and other im portant points, receive large supplies of square timber, decking, keels, plank, &c, from onr lumbermen, and scarcely a wharf, bridge, or ImiUUng of any considerable size, along the Susquehanna and in our large cities, erected for some years past, but what contains more or less material procured iu this region. About half a century ago, the rafting busi ness was. commenced by the few persons who then dwelt along the YTest Branch and its trib utaries in the counties of Centre, Elk and Clearfield. At that time, the bed of the stream over which the turbid waters dash at frightful speed during freshets, was full of rocks which endangered not enly their prop erty, but their lives, in navigating this part of the Susquehanna, and but comparatively few rafts reached market. Besides this, the coun try was a wilderness, destitute of roads and means of communication by land with other larts, and the hardships of the returning rafts men, clambering the rugged hill-sides over narrow paths through dense forests, are almost inconceivable. At an early day, these hardy and enterprising settlers adopted measures to remove the obstructions iu the river bod, and accordingly, at their own expense, blasted huge rocks to pieces and rolled them out of the stream. By such means, and by becom ing more familiar with the navigation, they were enabled to continue the business, and thus struggling with poverty, abandoning for weeks the ties of home, risking their health, and laboring with vigor, they finally succeeded in improving the navigation so as to render it comparatively safe. About the year 1S-30 the attention of the shipwrights and lumbermen of the seaboard was attracted by the inexhaus tible fMests of timber, particularly of Clear field and Lik counties. The business began to improve. Up to 1840, the prices realized for our luinl.r at market scarcely compensated the manufacturer for the labor expended upon it. liie population had gradually increased, and onr citizens looking forward to a brighter leriod in the piue timber market, engaged in the business w ith an envrgy and zeal worthy of their undertaking. In 181-j and '4G the pri ces obtained gave the lumbermen a full remu neration for their toil, and since that period the general improvement of the lumber region has gradually been advancing. The proceeds ol this article of exportation have been devo ted to th purchase ot timber lands, originally owned principally by non-residents, and to the erection of substantia saw mills." Jn ISoG, there were nearly 400 saw-mills in the region of the counties named, erected at a cost of not less than $1,000,000, aud the entire rafting business for several years had exceeded two millions of dollars annually. As the timber is taken off, the land is con verted into farms, and if the inhabitants were permitted to cany on their business in the usual way, the proceeds would enable those who have purchased lands to pay for them, clear up their larms, erect buildings, and thus contribute to the general prosperity of the county. During the last few years, however, the safety ot the descending navigation has been seriously endangered by the erection of booms in the river, and by a system of busi ness kr.t'wn as ''.og-tloatiug.' Kafts, con - etructed of square timber, boards, &c, are usually from 2'X to 240 feet in length and a bout 2-3 feet wide, anil are managed by oars plied at the ends of the craft. Thus any one can at a glance see that when the stream is filled by immense numbers of logs, which are Ihrown loose in the water and permitted to float a!out at random, obstructing the current and getting under rafts, that their safety is imminently jeopardized. A few years' expe rience hiU fully demonstrated the fact, which is acknowledged also by the log-floaters them selves in a series of resolutions passed by them at Lock lla.en on the 21st Feb. last, that the two systems of lumbering log-Coating and ratting cannot be carried on successfully to guthcr, and etiurts have been repeatedly made tc have the Legislature pass a bill te restrict the Coating of loc-v legs to require the float ers to "r-it-up , or otherwise manage their logs so as not t- interfere with the safe navi gation of the West Branch by rafts. This is all that is a&ked of those who arc eng-ged jn o - ' j ur"uis wuo carrv on that business, to the detriment f the many who are mainly dependent upon the rafting business at a means of subsistence and as the source ot realizing money to pay for their lands, for tneir goods purchased in the m. farming implements, Sec -. LU.eould any doubt PuisibW arise a to the propriety of Laving a bill to restrict log floating passed, it would have to give way to jmtice, which will certainly decide that those who expended their means to remove obstruc tions and render the navigation comparatively sale, who have opened roads, improved the . I lands, and "made the wilderness to bud and , . , ,. n, r,.rr. ence in the use of the stream. This question, it must be'evident to every individual who examines it, is one of the most vital importance to Clearfield county, so much litical considerations this fall, and it is also of no little interest to other sections of the coun- try. In the event of a bill being passed by the Legislature next winter, it is essential that there should be a man occupying the Ex ecutive chair, who will not frustrate legisla tion on the subject, but w ho will sign a bill to protect the raftsmen. Is Gen. Packer such a man ? We think not. In 1852-3. it is well known, he helped to defeat such a bill, and we have reason to believe that he is now as mnch in favor of log-floating as he ever was. The Lock Haven Watchman, of Sept. 4th, 1837, says that -not over two months since Gen. Packer assured an extensive log-floater that, if elected Governor, he would aid them to the extent of his ability in keeping the river open to the floating of loose logs; and the Wafch- mrtn defies successful contradiction. Is he, then, snch a man as the people of Clearfield county wish to see elected ? We think every one who desires to see the rafting business flourish, will say that he is not. David Wilniot lives in a lumber region ; he is well acquainted with the business, and we feel assured that he will, if elected, respect the wishes of the people, as expressed thro' their Representatives in the Legislature. LETTER F20M NEBRASKA. Correipoiult nce of the "Hafisman's Journal." AnciiER, Bichardson Co.. N. T., 8th Sept., 1857. J Friend How : Nebraska, in all of its glory and beauty, is as prosperous as when I wrote you before. The earth has yielded to its mon arch s its luxuriant summer fruits, and is now exchanging its "mantle of green" for the gold- en one of autumn. All nature seems gay and in a merry mood. The trees and shrubs, the weeds and grass, are all robing themselves in the richest garb. The flickering rays of the sun arc dancing upon the waving corn, and "Sol" is doing well the fall work. The corn, (and a very bountiful yield it is,) is fastmatu- ring and will soon ripen and be gathered into the garner, and tho husbandman will then rest from his labors. We have some exciting times here, occa sionally, but peace and quiet and harmony are soon restored. The people, generally, are very enterprising, wide awake, and, withal, are never forgetful of their own interest. There was considerable interest manifested iu the late election for delegate to Congress. he general desire was to defeat Mr. Chapman, the late delegate, for reason of his official mis deeds, lie, however, came out second best. otwithstanding the powerful influences bro't to bear agaiust him. Hon. F. Ferguson, chief usticc of Nebraska, was the successful candi- ate. The board of canvasscis, consisting of Gov. Izzard, Hon. Samuel W. Black, and one other, is in session, for the purpose of receivi ng and counting the votes. Judge Fergnson will probably receive the certificate of clec- tion, and hold his seat in Congress. Chapman, ou w ill recollect, had a majority of the votes polled in Nebraska two years ago, cast against him. He contested his opponents claim with success, on the ground that a nnmber of voters I n the precinct where his antagonist had a ma-1 ority, resided on the Indian Reserve", and was I admitted to a seat in congress accordingly. I He now threatens violently to contest the claim I of his more fortunate rival, not for the same I cause that he did before, but for some trifling nformality in the manner of voting. The Indians are very numerous here, but I they are generally peaceable. The fear of I punishment, probably, makes them good, and I necessity makes them virtuous. But some of them will occasionally so far forget themselves when they get hard up for money, as to take the best horses they can find, and "felonious- lu" appropriate theru to their own use. A few days ago, I saw a number of Pawnee Indians, who had stolen eight or ten horses, aud bro't them to Nebraska City, where they sold sever- al of them to the whites. The owners were soon upon the scent of the Indians, armed and equipped as tho law directs on such occasions. They were soon overtaken, and all were made to "bite the dust," so that not a single one of them was left to tell the fate of his comrades, In Pennsylvania, we would call that inflicting summary vengeance on an offender, and that is what they call it here. Last Saturday three slaves escaped from their masters in Missouri, and endeavored to gain their freedom by ciossing tho Missouri luver into Nebraska, llicy succeeded in crossing the river safely, and had concealed themsclves very snugly in tbc high grass and WCeUS. their pursuers were not far hphin.l them. Whilst searching for the "darkies," they came suddenly upon them where the3' lay concealed. The slaves, terrified on being dis- covered, commenced firing at their pursuers, They were well armed, and don cnmo ta,i. tion. They shot one man dead on the spot ; fired five or six times at another, without cf- feet, and then fled. Two of them, as they ran throngh the town, mounted a horse each and made their escape. Thi other one, less for- tunatc, finding himself hotly pursued, jumped into the river and attempted to sim it. But ho soon received a shot in tho arm which shat- tered it in fragments, and the contents of an oI4 shot-gun about his cars, which compelled h'.n to "heave to" an 1 sne for ouarters. He t - . . ai.un tAi turea ana taken to the calanoose to be dealt with as the infuriated crowd tho't advisable. This occurred at Brownsville. Yonr, Kc, D....

SENATOR BIGLER'S SPEECH. Tho Pout and Vniou of this city, says the Pittsburgh Gazette, of Sept. 14, published on tturday, a speech of Senator Bigler, deliver- d by that gentleman on Tuesday, the Ptn ust., at Clarion. 1 he telling speecnes oi udge Wilniot during the last two or three weeks, in whiiii he haa held up the record of that recreant Senator to the people, has made commotion in the camp of the "Democracy," and his blows have tingled so sharply that even the tough back of a man so used to political flaying as is Mr. Bigler, has bent tinder them. Yet he wasn't the man to meet Judge Wilmot face to face. He comes here, earns the route of the Judge, and by skilful and forced marches, steals tip to Clarion, a day in Advance of him, administering the an tidote beforehand a very quackish dose too. Wilmot spoke in the same place the next eve ning and where was Bigler then ! On Tues day, 10, he was at the St. Charles, in this city, with Gen.. Packer par nobile fratrum hav- ng delivered himself of his speech and safely retired from the inglorious field. It is not our design to make any general reply here to this ettort of the Senator. t e wish simply to allude to one portion of it. It is known by all w ho have heard or read any of the recent speeches of Judge Wilniot that he lays before ns the record of William Bigler who, at the time of the introduction of the Wilmot Proviso 1847-48, was a member of our State Senate, and in that record we find this Senator Bigler voting and speaking for a resolution fully endorsing that Proviso, which resolution was subsequently adopted by the unanimous vote of the Senate. It is necessa ry for our present U. S. Senator to get over this hard place in his political history, and the following extract from his last Tuesdav's speech in Clarion will show how scuivily he docs it. Read ! "Admitting all that Mr. W. alleges, I do not see that he makes out any man's destruc tion. The wisest men in the nation have often been wrong in their first impressions as to the expediency of suddenly proposed mea sures, and to be mistaken on a constitutional question, is no uncommon thing among able lawyers. As to the Pennsylvania resolution, it certainlv did not receive that consideration to which it was entitled. I do not believe it was under consideration in the Senate exceed ing one half hour before it passed finally. For myself I knrw but little about it until it came from the House of Represent., the day it pas sed tho Senate, and had only thought of it as aa abstract sentiment against the acquisition of territory, with the view to the extension of slavery and as affecting the question of peace with Mexico. As a proposition involving the rights of the States and the power of Con gress, I had at that time given it no thought. Reflection upon .these things soon alter, and long before I knew that -Mr. Wilniot intended to press the principle as admissible when ap- plyed to territory which had been long previ ously acquired by the common blood and treasure of all the States, without any such original condition, convinced my mind that its practical operation would do injustice to the slaveholding States, and I dicarded its doctrines eutirely. Four years after the advent of the proviso, when the Democratic nominee for Governor, 1 certainly was not charged witli a want of sympathy for the South. Senator Bigler certainly deserves all the credit such an explanation can reflect upon him. He deserves all the boot he can win in a bargain between inconsistency and incom petency. So when n raging frver burns. We shift from siiie to ile by turn. And "tis but poor relief wc gain, Tu change the place but keep the pain. But wc are not willing to grant him what little comfort his newly chosen position may afford. "The resolution endorsing the Wil mot Proviso was not under consideration in the Senate exceeding half an hour before its final passage," savs Mr. Bigler J That is a lame dodge. How long was it under cons'ul cration and dicussion before it came to a fina vote 1 How long was he watching its progress through the House, and how long discussing it in the quiet knot of politicians gathered at the street corners: politicians who thought, at that moment, they saw Senatorships, Con sulships and fat salaries shining through the Wimot Proviso 1 Does he deny that he went to Charles Gibbons, at that time Speaker of the Senate, on the day preceding the flqal passage of the resolutions, and stated to him that he desired to have tho floor on the follow ing morning for tho purpose of introducing those very resolutions "u-.VcA he knew very little about"? Does he deny that he did gain the floor for the purpose mentioned ? Are not his speech and vote in behalf of the leso lutions on record, a speech which ho had slept upon over night 1 A fine "Statesman," this to cat up his own history, and declare to-day that he knew very little about a subject on which he had with much perspiration prepared by long and careful study, a speech whose sentiments do him more credit to-day than any act in his subseuuent career ! Tho record stands, and Mr. Bigler cannot falsify it. IlAnn Times. The X. Y. Tribune, of Sept 18, says : Every day presents fresh evidence that the nature and seriousness of the presen commercial crisis are utterly misapprehended and underrated throughout the Country, and especially by those seeking employment, Hundreds are still trooping to the seaports, in quest of situations as teachers, journeymen clerks, seamstresses, musicians, &c.; when it is notorious here that not only is there no dc mand for their services, but that thousands who are now employed in like capacities must be thrown out of work and very probably of bread, too within a few weeks. By the first or middle of next December, we shall have at least One Hundred Thousand persons out of employment and nearly out of means in this City. Already, our ship-yards are nearly idle our founderics arc but half working, and our great clothing stores are doing very little Women have recently come hither from places tnree nunarea miles awav in quest of work from those stores, only to ba turned off with none and compelled to beg their wav home a gain. Hardly, since 137, has so gloomy a prospect for Winter lowered upon the Labor ing Classes in onr City. Aa yet, the humbler classes have scarcely felt the pressure ; but meir turn must come. : Places have looked for servant en Is for some time past? soon, ser- I vant girls ill Took earnestly for places, and be veiy glad to find them. Sonp-houses for hun gry laborers who can find no labor will be wanted here before January. We state these ungracious truths in order that,thc evil day being foreseen, it may be mea surably obviated. Wc entreat the intelligent and benevolent on all sides to warn the Kor against coming to this or any other commer cial city in quest of work before March next. Better work till Spring for their board in the Country than to trust their luck in a great City. If laborers flock hither as usual when farm work is over in the. adjacent country, three-fourths of them w ill eat up their Sum mer savings and be virtual paupers by midwin ter. Let them be entreated to stay away, and let artists, performers, and those who hope to live by teaching langnages, do likewise. Bet ter rugged labor and rnde fare in some rtira I neighborhood than the chances of one who drops into a great city just when its people aro generally intent on retrenching their expen ditures to meet the exigencies of hard times. The "Gold Box Panic" has ended in a ridiculous inuss," and Andrew Jackson, Jr., disgusted with the rudeness and conditions of the "bravest men," has left New York and takiMi the sovrcnir with him. The "millingta ry," meanwhile, are in an awful stew. The friends of Major Dyckman, whom the City Councils Jiad otficially pronounced "the bra vest man," are cursing like troopers, while the adherents and partisans of that other brave," Maj. Burnett, (who also served in the Mexican war,) are decidedly jolly. An- Irew Jackson, Jr., is said to have gone up to West Point, and the probability is t lint he w ill take the gold box back with him to lennessee. New Advertisements. A SSE.MBLY.
