RETORT Tit tht President and Manager nf tht Dunv'llc and Potttville Rail lioad Company. Gssi i.e. sits ! In a communication ylii-ti I iuade In September list, I stated H e JiflVultic which i Vcdln the early part of the " (" ' i flnH took the eupcrinlcndcricc of the road,) nn.l which prevented our commencing 'rrn i rn uti il Ihe 19th uf May. From that wlS until llic tin sing of the navigation of the Susquehanna by ire, nothing occurcd to prevent the rcgu'nr trip of the locomotives and all the conl that was mirinl by the several operator was promptly taken to .Sun bury. The quantity was not 10 g eat as Koa an'icipa- trd; or on was -vished to he sent hy the operators : but tht diminution of quantity was not occasion! J by any thii g In connection with either the mil r-ad r tho engines. A contract for ten thousand tons of coal to be delivered at Danville had been made, the delivery of which Wos attested by the stoppaec of the ranal on the North I) ranch in the eaily nrt of July, and the canal was not again opened iM.trl the middle of October, thus leaving a ery biirf pe riod fot the use of boats in that direction, and pre. venting ti e fulfilment of this contract by more than M-ven thousand tons. The d;im acioss the Susquehanna at Sunbuiy, has barn for a long timo in bad order, and when tiie waters brcome low, the levels between this p iint and Duncan's Island arc invariably defic cut. After the lirst of August the bouts wee no! only prevented from tukii g full loads, but were so long detained as materially to affect tho trade; being kept n arly as long again in making tlnir trips as would otherwise have been necessary. These dirfiiubica were the more felt from the want of louts on the Susquehanna: to supply tho defic:eney it is I clevcd five hundred bonis more will bo required. From these several causes there has been at least seven housnnd dollars less received in tolls on tho road than would have been, had these difficulties not s-xisted; while tl.o expenses would h.ivc h-en but tittle more. There was transported over the mud by motive power from May 17th to Decembe. r 23, !. I 10. in elusive, 15,373 tons of anthracite coal: U(i.",.i).rri lbs. flour, -pork, beef, potatoes, cVc, 371 perches stone: '10,155 feet of lumber: 2,007 bushels lime, grain nM wed: 1,805 passcngcts twenty miles? 625 eight miles and 83 six miles, making a tntut of -.a55 pascngers. The amount received for nil the transportation during tne hut year was t hvrri thou- ind one hundred and eighty-seven dollars sixty-two ents. This sura was sufficient to meet all current expenses; to keep the road, cars, cVc, in p. od or der: nnd to pay the extraordinaty rxp. ns s benrr d for repairing the engines, cars, road and bridge J sforo operations could be commenced in the p ing snd which wsre not chargcablo to this year's busi-t-.essi but for these extra expenses, and (he inter ruptions in the navigation of the canal-, tin re woii'd fiave been a handsome balance ; enough it is lul ev. rd to have paid most of the debt?. We hope we shall be enabled to discharge these debts from the profits of the next year. Exertions have leen made to keep the ro.d en gines and cars in good repair, and as we shall be read) by the first opensng of the navigation to com mence operations, we may reasonably calcu'ate that the recipts will be more than double next j ear We are strengthened in this belief from the fact that the roal of the Shamokin Basin has been di-tr'butcd 1on.j tho waters of the Susquehanna f cm S in bury to Baltimore, and all who have ns. il it attest its good qualities, Baltimore, which has hiihcito had it- supply from Philadelphia, can now receive it from Siumo kin at as cheap a t:itc as it is delivered t the latter city, and it is belietsd will require fur the present year, three t;mrs as much for consumption a was sent during the past. 'J he smelling of inn with anthracite cold has al ready given en inipuUc to the trade on this mad. The immense masses of iton ore (H-cuvered on Mein our's Ridge, and thisotc of the very lest and most approved quality, has demonstrated this region to be the one of all others, the best adapted for the ma king and manufuctuiing of iron in all its variety of forms. Tho rnximity of the Sbumukiii Coal La sin to Monteui's Ridge, and tie connection of the two by tlio Danville and Pottsvillo rail road, not only render the location eligible far furnaces, but makes il certain that the Went end of the road must do a busiucss that will produce a large revenue; for whether you take the coal to the ore or the ore to the coal, it must pass over this section uf the rond : as it has been found most advantageous, the pro will be taken to the coal: this will cause an im mense tonnage up the toad, furnu-binir, as much hack freight as the returning coal ears can bring; thus giving tonnage perhaps quite equal both ways ; while tho re-tiatiFportaion of the pig it manufactu red iron cilhrr lo Pi.ilaJelphi i by Po'lsviile, or to Sunbury for the Western or Baltimore mailed, will swell the inern.e of the ruil road beyond the amount of any former estimate. One furnace of Utge dimensions bus alieady been elected at the town of Sh.imokiii, ami will go into blast early in the spring. This furnace will require seven thousand fivo huntltl lor, of ore per year, and its propiii-tora have alieady contracted for its delivery at Sunhury during the scaon. In re turn for this a e they have also ivrtracted to send the same nu ruler of Ions t.f c.ml lo Danville ; thus Disking a liansil of fifteen thousand tons over the road from this single establishment; vlr,., nesily rqual to all the tonnage of la.-t year, and is inde pendent of all the down river trade. Three furna ces in addition and a rolling mill wi I pro'iably be built during the prist nl year. These four lurnaers I will rt quiie thirty thousand Ions t f ore, which wjt j j Wednesday last, under lhe super.n-endence of psy in tolls lo Ihe Rail Road Con.pvr.y, f .r ore r.

If the to -.1 rmi.lirj to Pollsville, and the iron sent to 1'hihi le'phis ins'ead ef to Baltimore, the toll would In p-oporilonally increased, as it would necrstniily be eon rev ed further on our rail roid. I believe il.it ii is admitted by all who are ae qunintrd w iih t' n several anthracite coal fields in Pennsylvania, t't.it none surpasses, if any equals, the miihl!r f.elil, nnd that this rail road parses through oni'iif i!:e richest districts known, whether we lake into cunsidcra'inn quantity, quality, or the facility of mitrcirr, at will as the height of the hills or mountains uhovo water level. Take tho whole line from Montgomery" (on the Girard Estate) to tho gap of the Dig Mountain" on tho Shimokin creek, nnd I presume you will find a greater quan lily of coal uhow water level than is to be found in any other spare of equal extent. In the samo dis tricl is found extensive beds or viens of iron ore of good quality, which no doubt will be found suitable for many kinds nf iron. Tuka ihis in conmction with Monteui's Ridge ore, and it will not require much imagination lo conceive the whole region long the tine nf rail load spotted with furuaes and other wuiksfor the mauufacture of iron, and covered with a denre, prosperous and happy population. The mineral riches of the country through which this ro.id Ir v, rsi for miles must alone render its strkkor.c of tho most profitable investments. In addition lo its lor I advantages it is certainly the neare t and most direct route from tho Metropolis to the nor.h wckI p ut of our slate, both by the ruil road from Soubiny to Erie whxh has been projec ted; by the West Draneh Canal, now in opeia'ion to I'arrai.eUvi le ; by the Bald Eagle Canal, now finished to within a few miles of Bcllefonle; by the W.llinmsp it Hid Elinira rail road, now finished and travelled to It.il-.tun ; thence a few intermediate miles to ltlosi-burgh; and thence by a finished la 1 road to Coming where it connect wi h tho im provements of the slate of New Yo.k, which, with tilt ir ramifications communicate with the great lakes, as well as with lha western and central region of thai state, and with the New York and Eric rail road, now in i rosire'ss. It will thus le seen that it is not only in the most direct route to the north wert portions (if our own state, but that it is also the nearest and best route to Buffalo, in the state of New York, and that v ith only a fvw intermediate miles the whole line is nearly finished' A survey was completed by direction of the State du ing the last season up the West Branch to the Bald Eag'o, and thence up the north side' of the U.dd Eaijlc Mountain over the Allegany Mountain, and it was found that a rail road could be made by this route to Pittsburgh, without a plane. As all these im provements, as well from the West Branch as from the N oi lit Branch of the Snsqucbannn, weither fin ished or projected, come directly lo the west end of our road, unJ this road the most direct and shoitt route to Philadelphia and the seaboard, can we do other than believe that it mu-t and it w II be as im portant a link in the great chain of internal commu nication, as any in the United States ? As soon as the Beading and Pottsville road is finished it will command nearly all the pas.-engcrs and much of the light merchandise to and from the North West lo Philadelphia. The fact that eighteen hundred pas sengers (exclusive of way passengers) were convey ed over that poilionof ihc road between Kbain.ikiu and Sunbury shows that the community begin to appreciate this route. To the citizens of Philudel phis il is of peculiar iniportnnec, not only as regards their great interest in the (Jirard Estate., but as furnishing facilities for the transit of tlx ir goods lo the North, the North West ;.ml the Weft, st all starort) tifthtyev, without interruptions from fiost, freshets, breaches, or droughts, and of receiving pro duce in nturn; thus, with Ihe-e str.king advan tages, diverting the trade from other channels I feel assured that the true interest of the city oityht not to permit another season to elapse !, fire fur nishing the requisite means to fini-h i' lute'i mediate miles of this important roal. '!'!! "'tatr also, being deeply inlere.-led, mu-l find i! t'n i in terest to make the necessary nppr ipriati ! t con nect the two sections, by which means iht Com monwealth would very foju cease paying the large interest gunrauleed to the loan hohh rs. The only oljection ever urged agiinl this road has been to the incline planes, on llie E it end of it. When I look charge of the road I b II these ob jections very strongly; but after err fully examin ing the subject, and with seven months experience, I am satisfied that for the trim.it of heavy burthen, both ways, our level road with planes is decidedly better and can be woikcj cheaper than if ilui roid hid been made with heavy gra les withmi incline.'. For passengers only sueh grades may firquenlly be preferable; but, (after the CJimec i.-n with the Potts ville, Beading and Philadelphia rail roul, and the completion of our own woik) should it befouii ! in cuiivenienl to use the planes, a short stage ride over the Broad M untain would connect the line where the rail road crosses the turnpike on the side of the f.lKU-t Muuii'aiii. In every view of the suljer, eilln r as regards in vestment ir advantage, in i-Slale and (lily, there is great inducement for prompt exeilions lo obtain the means In complete ihe few intermediate miles ; nnd I cannot loo stiongly recommend In the Bo id of Managers to muko an enily appe.

In relation lo our -!me and fuiit ntntrmrnts ogam tt Mr. llorton" we ray that we have sp ken of his acts, and stated nothing but what is true, facta which Ihe friends nf Mr. Horton cannot dispute and which even Ihe Ledger has not the hirdihoed to deny. Then what have we done to nienl a lor- i lu iou was amended so as to instruct our niuu rent of vulgar abuse !

We ask and defy the Ledger, or any one else, to point out one tinglo assertion that we made in relation to Mr. llorton, that was not strictly true. The I rue secret is, we published Mr. Morton's vote on the land resolution, which the Ledger was not willing to let the people know, through the medium of his own paper. The Keystone, at llanisrurg, has taken some ex ceptions to our remarks in rel itiuii lo Mr. Horlon's vote on the ins ructing resolutions relative to the public lands. Without denying the tight uf the Keystono to entertain such opinions as they in iy deem proper, we shall nl.vays freely give currcury to our own, when wc think the occasion requires it. Although our remnrks weie nol couched in choice Italian, yet we believe were not disresiectfu', and were just such remarks as the occasion warranted. The severest thing we probably said was, lhat Mr. II or ton's vote against these resolutions was a ha?c iie.-ertion of lhe inteiests of the people, an assertion which riineteen-twe ntieths of the people of this county w ill endorse. Wc were among the firt de mocratic papers in the state favorable to that mea sure, and we spoke not without a full knowledge nf the subject. The Keystone further says, "we apprehend that the coutse of the democratic memlicrs, generally, en the resolutions rifetred to, is not well unders'ood." We think we understand it thoroughly; nnd some of our memhiM will soon or late discover that the people slso undei stand it, nnd arc not bo sluw in dis coveting their real interests ns their representatives imagine. But we confess we do not comprehend the argumenis of the Keystone, when they Fpc ik of j the subject of distribution as one of gieat impor tance, hihI at the same time state that many of tho democrntic mem!era voted iigainst the reso'utions, wou)( u uf vail.

The main strength of the party, il will bo seen, is on the Siinbury side, w hich, according lo lhe Ledger, is the residence of the "spurious demo-cri.t-.," and which has gradual y iurrcuted its detr.o cialic majority to between Gaud 7 hundred. 1 1 may appear somewhat singular that the sensi bility of the Keystone should be so easily awoker.e I in tegard lo our remarks concerning the vote of Mr. llorton, win n ! i n cullecltd lhat they did not fet I lie neres?ity ef interposing tht ir .I.'g-.;s to shield Mr. llesim tro-n the brut.,1 nttut ks of the Ledger l int winter, when that paper denounced him as a traitoi and a scoundrel for pimuing a course eon- sisti r.t vi ith the recommendations of the Covernor, nnd 111 a;-coriIance wnli ttie opinions ott:io tveyslone itself.
