Viter-powtr, Iron, Cool and Limestone.
The Simbuty Canal Company affords an abun
dance of water power, that can hardly be equal
led in Pennsylvania. Surrounded, as we are,
with Coal, Iron and Limestone, no better lo
cation can be had for manufactories of various
kinds. The immense water power of the Canal
Company, which has the North and West branch
es of the Susquehanna for a feeder, is admirably
adapted for rolling mill and other machinery,
requiring great power, at a cheap rate. But
even where steam power is preferred, we have
many superior advantages iu the cheapness of fu
el. For instance, Shamokin Coal, and there is
none better for making good iron, can be deli
vered at this place at ?1,')0 per ton. At Potts
ville, Coal is Worth $2.2.') per ton at the landing.
At Harris-burs Cnv. Torter pays 52.10 per ton,
for his Coal, and will conume, in his furnaces, a-
bout $12,000 tons per annum. The difference hi
price, between this place and Ifarrisbntg. is just
00 -ts. per ton. or flO.MtO in the amount required
per annum, in favor of this place; a very hand
some income of itnelf. As records the differ
ence between this place and Pottsville, the sav
ing would be $'.1,000 per annum, on the same a
mount ol Coal. In regard to iron ore and lime
stone, our advantages are fully equal, if tint supe
rior to either of the two plares. We do not in
tend these comparisons as invidious, but in order
to show the creat advantages of location ic this
region of country. Iron, we ar" confident, can
lie rr nnnfaetnred with great profit at almost any
point on the Susquehanna, hetwepn Columbia
and Wilkesbai re. though some locations afford
advantages superior to others.

The Dublin Freeman's Journal holds the fob
lowing language respecting the present difficul
ties between England and America. It is some
what different in its positive and relative retal
iations from other British authorities :
"The receding of England from the pos'tion
she had taken about Texas is deeply significant,
and history may hereafter use it to mark the
point at which the flood of her fortune began to
ebb. America is no ordinary power. Her great
est strength can be put forth upon England's own
ocean domain. A quarttr of a century ago,
when England was supposed capable of annihi
lating the little marine of America by a single
stroke of her fin anil the relative dimensions of
their navies justified the supposition Hip young
er nation seized the knife between her teeth,
dashed to meet her enemy on her enemy's own
element, and many a ponting vein of the mon
ster of the seas ciimsoned the deep on which
they struggled.
"America is better grown now. Her com
mercial navy cover every sea, and in it quali
ties leaves all rivalry far behind. Great as have
been her advances in population and in wealth,
her progress in commerce ha far ou'stridden
these. The maratime strength of nations is no
longer measured by counting their ships of war.
but bv sounding the depths of that source w hence
the military marine is to be supplied their com

France, not because that for every 100 tons of
Louis Philippe's royal navy, Victoria's navy
number 120 or whatever else may bp the pin
pottion of the excess but because the commer
cial tonnage of France bping but oOO.OOll, that of
England amounts so 3,000,000. By the same
standard the maratimp strength of England and
that of the I'nited State may be compared, and
they stand thus England ha 3.000.000 Ame
rica has already 2,000,000! This is the rela

in publishing the late foreign news, takes occa
sion to correct some of the misapprehensions of
the London Times as to the want of preparation
in the Tinted States, for war, which the Times
considers a good opportunity for Mexico to take
advantage of in anh r to prevent annexation. It
is amusing to read these diatribes of the London
paper, and see how little they know of the spi
rit, enthusiasm and unanimity of the American
people w hen war is talked of. They have no i
dea that, in the Cnited States, every man is a
soldier, and that every man would be found bat
tling for his country and his fireside. The Times
lays great stress upon the fact that we have but
0000 troops the standing army. Not one of
these men can be spared from the garrisons on
the coast, and of course we should not have a
single soldier to send to Mexico ! Where, then,
it asks, are wp to obtain the twenty or twenty
five th iirsaiid men which would be necessary to
march to Mexico ? The answer is furnished by
the l.'nion, says thp Ledger, and it is worthy of
the consideration of those who profess to be
friends of Mexico, and do not wish to see the
whole of that beautiful country "annexed" to
Filial ArretTiON. At Mew Castle, Eng

another, 'March w ith your neighbors to the de

they will not only have volunteers enough to an

dilhVulty will be in keeping men back, net in
