From iht SMt Capitol Gazelle, STATA HRDTt Tn the remarks which we mads on the subject of ihe State Deht, published in Tmr Issl paper bin one, we adverted to the Tact that Governor Porter hid not incurred fl ONE DOLLAR OF DEBT FOR Oil ON ACCOUNT OF ANY NEW PUBLIC WORK Dcommenccd during hi Ad ministration. Thif fact remain uncontradicted, for ilie simple reason that it is STRICTLY TRUE I We intend, in continuation of our former re marks, to prove, hy the best of all evidence, to wit, an extract from the 9th section of the Act of 1 3th I'ebiuary, 1836, rcchartering the Bank of the Uni ted States, that (ho amount of the State Debt could nut at this lime have exceeded the total that it was u hen Governor Wolf retired from office, but for tlie fully and madn of Joseph Ritner. The 9th (Section of Ikaj Act contains the following words : "It shall be' the duty of the Canal Commissioners to put under contract, not less than twenty miles nor mora than forty miles of the North Branch di vision of lire Pennsylvania Canal duriug the ensu ing 'year, commencing at or near the New York tateiine, towards which the sum of one bundled mid City thousand dollars is hereby specifically ap propriated. And the said Canal Commissioners, are hereby directed to put under contract, not leas 'than thirty-six nor more than sixty miles of the Pennsylvania canal, extending the same by canal or Mark water, towards the harbor of Erie, from sisrh point or points as will best advance the inter estsoffhe State, having due regard to distance, lockage, tost, andcommctcial interest. Provided, 'I'd t no part of said distance is on the Ohio or Alle gheny rivers towards the completion of which, the sum of two hnndred thousand dollars is hereby specifically appropriated. And the said Canal Commissioners are hereby further authorircd and required, without delay, to survey and locate the most advantageous line for a railroad, from the bor ough of Gettysburg, to cross the route of the Balti m.ire and Ohio railroad, atid connect with the ' Chesapeake and Ohio Canal at some point in the tate of Maryland, at or West of Willismsport, and t.i put under contract, not less than twenty nor more lhan thirty miles thereof, towarJs which two bun died thousand dollars ia hereby specifically appro priated. Provided, That no 6Uch contract shall be entered into, unless the Baltimore and Ohio railroad company shall have consented to a satisfactory con nexion of their road with that hereby authorized, mid the said Canal Commissioners are hereby re quired to cause to be surveyed by competent en gineer, the route of canal and slack water naviga tion, from the head of the West Branch Division !-j the Allegheny river. Here, then, was the first appropriation made to w aids the commencement of the Erie Extension, the North Branch and West Branch Canals, (the latter suspended the first session after Governor I'nrter came into office,) and the Gettysburg Rail load, alias Tapeworm, Governor Porter placed ii veto on the Gettysburg railfcad, and stopped .vasie of public money in that quarter. The Wisconi.ro feeder was placed under contract by virtue of an act of Assembly passed 14th April, 1 8.iti, approved by Joseph Riflier. The only public works now onlr contract, or that have- been in progress of completion since Cov. Porter's time, are the North Branch Exten sion, Erie Extension, and Wicouisco Feeder, all of .Inch were put under contract by Ritner and his '.'anal Commissioner long before they were rejec ted by the people ond expelled from office by a i nhering of the patriotic freemen of this common vtallh in defiance of "Buckshot anJ Ball."

The following, from the Buffalo Advertiser, wilt give our readers some ides of the abundance Of the crop in the country bordering on the great lakes i A gentleman who has for a great number of years bem largely engiticj in the forwarding btninets on the canal and lakes, had occasion a short time since to go to Chicago. On the steamboat he fell in with a Chicago man, who appeared by no means in clined lo dispsr igit the bu incus and prospects of his town, Among other thing, he said that between the close of navigation this season and its opening next spring, no Us than three hundred thousand bushels i.f wheal would be received and stored at Chicago alone. This seemed ao incredil le that it was received with a strong expression of disbelief, and the conversation at last ended ill the making a bet of $500, that tho Chicago man's statement would not prove true. On arriving at that port, our forwarding friend mentioned the matter to his agents and correspondents there, who assured him that according to their lies! information, the amount of wheat in store at Chicago next spring, would nol fall short of four hundred thousand bushels, and the upshot of (he matter was, he backed straight oul of his bet. We learn that wheat is brought into Chicago from a distance of 150 miles, and the procession of teams a they come in, lo an eastern man, is a ve ry novel and interesting sight. The wheat it car ried in large wagons called "Prsirie schooners." Each caravan, for from the various sections of the country, they go in numbers sufficiently large lo be entitled to that appellation has its captain. They camp out nights, and each man carries food for himself and team, so that a fortnight's jour ney is made at little or no expense, save that ol lime. On arriving at the suburbs cl the town, the captain goes in with a sample of his giain. A bar gain is made for Ihe whole brought by the caravan and Ihe next day, with the money in his pockets, or in goods for his family, each countryman is winding his way homeward. At Michigan City and other principal towns on Lnke Michigan, the same scene is daily exhibited. An immense amount of surplus produce is already accumulated at ports on the lake, but not a bushel comparatively will reach the eastern market this season. The price of flour there will be ruled by the supply furnished by ihe eastern states and Ohio. Are not Ihe eastern people directly interested in so improving tho harbors of Lake Michigan, that the products of the upper lake country shall not, as now, be necessarily kept back from market ! From Texas. Gnlveston, Houston and Matagonla continue quite healthy in the latter place, the Gazelle aay, not a single death has occured this summer.

They itttend to settle in one neighborhood. The all-absorbing question is Ihe Presidential election, which came off on the fith inst. Judging from the general tone of ihe Press, we feel confi dent of the success of Gen. Six, Hocstox. On the 23d a street fight occured between Capt. Bf.rsett and Col. O'Briar with sticks and pis tols.

Abominable ! They treat the lord of their affec lions, Ihe partner of their bed, the father of their children, worse than any other rjian t Ihey do in deed there's no denying it. "Tis all a wicked, profligate, cold-hearted lie, and they know it. They call it hospitality ! Worse and worse ! Hospitality is not ostentation hos pitality is simple and sincere. No, they want lo please a stranger t to deceive him even for an hou; to appear belter oil' in the world, richer and more comfortable than they really are. They are secretly tired of home of that plain, quite, com fortable, beautiful decency which makes home so dear lo man. Such women are sure to be alula and hypocrites, just in proportion to the dilTerence they make be tween their household and the world the stranger and their husband. They go slipshod about the house, their caps, on one side, their hair flying loose, and themselves fitter for horse po"hd than a mar riage bed or dinner table, until mercy to their hus band some stranger knocks, at the door.

It is said that the excellent lump oil can be extracted from Indian corn, of a bet ter quality than a large proportion of the real arti cle, and less expensive. The matter should be tested. If such csn be done, the immense crops of corn which grow almost spontaneous in the west ern Slates, may lie turned to profitable account. The whole world could be supplied with oil in this way. The farmers would find a better market for Iheir supplies of corn the practice of manufacturing whiskey from it, would be discouraged, and the means always placed within the reach of the peo pie of suplying themselves with light at a cheap rate.

W learn from the Nash ville Union, lhat serious accident occurred at the residence of Spencer Buford, Esq., in Williamson county. Some negroes were aent into the cellar to stop leak in a barrel of biandy, and in searching for it, the flame of the eaadle came in contact with ihe spirit, and occasioned an explosion, which killed five of the negroes: three died in a few hours, and the other two lingered about day.

The Qncstion. The question pending before ihe Democracy of this county i not whether David B. Montgomery or John McKinney shall represent us in Ihe next legislature, qut whether a few disappointed friends of Jesse C. Horton shall be permitted lo divide the portion of the party living in the forks, and thus secure lha election of Gen. Frick. On the east side of the river the efforts of these men can effect no thing. We repeat, lhat McKinney in this part of the county will not receive one hundred votes. We ask the democrats of the fork to pause, then, be fore they ore instrumental in electing a whig, an enemy of Gov. Porter, and an opponent to democrat lie measures. The next session of the legislature will tie important and probably decisive of the as cendency or downfall of Ihe Democratic party. The state is to bo districted for the election of members of Congress, under the late census. We have heard that the whigs have it in contemplation, if they obtain a majority in both houses, to divide the state into four or five districts, and by the same kind of gerymandering which they used in forming our Senatorial districts, and by which they now contrive to keep majority in our State Senite, they will elect a majority of our members of Con gress for the next ten years. The election of a hig from this county, may enable the whigs to ffect this object. We again ask every democrat who has the welfare of his party and hi country at heart, to pause before he lends himself to such a purpose. fiofl Soap.

Simon Cameron and Mr. Dougherty were very much injured by tho pressure vof a rail road car. Mr. Dougherty, who it was thought would not recover, ia getting much better. Gen. Cameron has, we understand, entirely reco vered. fXjr We have frequently bad occasion to remark that rail roads of ascending gradea could never com pete with those constructed on a level, or what is better, a descending grade. The entire line of rail road from the Shamokin mines lo this place is of a graduul descent. From Ihe following calculation which we copy from the Pennsylvania Intelligencer, it will be seen thot on an ascending grade of only 30 feet pel mile, locomotive is capable of performing only half a much as on a level, and over a grade of 00 feet per mile,, but little more than a fourth : "The great superiority of a rail road having no ascending grades, but descending all the distance from the mines lo the market, like the Reading Rail road, may be seen by tho capacity of a locomotive weighing 1 1 tons, and working under her power, can carry easily, at an average speed of 10 miles per hour, over the following grades. Heavier cnginesjwould haul greater loads. Level 83 cars 3 ton each, nett frt. 250 tone Person who are not assessed, should attend to it without delay.

FVwtunatc Recovery of Money-. It will be recollected, that a lew months since, Messrs. Maiie& Dccopet, brokers in Wall street, New York, were robbed by a young man, a clerk of theirs, whom they had sent lo ihe bank for nine thousand dollars. It appears from the New Yoik Express, that the young man fled lo Qui bee, where he took passage for England. By a letter sent to a relative this fact was disclosed. One of the parlies interested immediately took passage in a steamer, and, as we are informed, arrived in England just in time lo be on the spot when the young swindler reached the poll of his destination. On being ar rested he disgorged eight thousand seven hundred of his ill-gotten treasure, having disposed of three hundred dolUts. The party who went in pursuit relumed in the Great Western, Phil.

During the dispute a person of some notoriety in that section of ihe coun try, named Bill Rupgles, came up where they were standing and commenced an attack on Mr. Wallers, and before he was removed through the effort of the by-slanders, he slabbed Mr. Wallets fourteen times in the side.

I have aaid lo several persons that Montgomery was a candidate, and so I say yet, but I did not un derstand he was a candidate for the Assembly. Montgomery asked me if I would not be a candi date for Commissioner next fall, and I might have misunderstood him about his being a candidate, as he told me I might injure myself if I said to much against McKinney. Mr. Montgomery and myself talked about this at Sunbury. I never saw h ira in this section of the country until after the nomina tion.

The cries . of "give way," "pull together," dtc , were heard floating along the sur face of the waters, while in tho distance the monsters of the deep were sporting and gamboling. In a short time ihe boats were up with lha whales, and iheir heads turned in shore, when, after a sharp rut) they were all safely grounded on the Ca!rston shore Then began ihefudcess of slaughtering, and as it is lb rule here, (Strornnasa,) "every man for him self," alt wei soon engijed in th work of death. the Susquehanna, nearly opposite this place.

A rail road of about one hundred yard in extent, would enable us to have the ore brought to the water's edge at a trilling expense. Thus, with iron ore and lime stone close by, and abundance of coal which can be brought from ihe Shsmokin mines to this place, in large quantities, at f I 73 per loo, we present a ficlJ of inter prize for th manufacture of anthracite iron, lhat must and will ere long be embraced by those who desire lo make profitable investment.

We have deliberately weighed the rbargia that have been made against the d gates and Montgomery himself, and with all evidence lhat we have been able to collec t, it is decided opinion that no blame ia attached to Mi gomery.
