All the accounts from the West agree in estimating the overland emigration to California during tie present season as far exceeding that of any former period. A letter from Iowa city states that the num ber of teams which have crossed the fer ries at that point is already fully up to fifteen hundred. The trains average about three persons and five animals each ; so that we have an aggregate of 4,500 persons aad 7,500 animals who have passed this one point to join the great caravan which js now making its way acrosn the plains to California and Oregon. The immense mass of emigrant who will thus goon be beyond the bounds of civilization and thrown on their own reiourccs to push their adventurous way to the far off point nf destination, has naturally given rice to painful apprehensions of the suffering and mortality which a scarcity of food may occasion. The distress and suffering of food may occasion. The distress and suf fering of 1850, it is predicted, will be nothing in comparison with this year's ca lamity, and the most powerful assistance that can be rendered from either end of the route will be inadequate to prevent the occurrence of untold misery and death. - Less than five years ago, in July, 1847, bis Holiness Pope Pius IX. granted to the prayers of the Council of Baltimore, that the blewied Virgin Mary of immaculate conception fthould be special patronce of tho United States.

LEWISBURG CHRONICLE & WEST X&The People of Union county have undoubtedly contributed, by direct taxa tion, 9250,000 for the construction and maintainance of the State Canals. Yet no one doubts that those Canals have add - cd more than 81,000,000 to the cab value of the real estate alono of Union. Hardly a sano man can now be found, who would close the Canals, and return to the trouble- some, uncertain, costly, and slow system of transportating goods, salt, iron, ic, and carrying to market wheat and other pro ducts by wagons and keel boats. G rumble as we may at the taxes, and obvious as the j extravagance and mismanagement of the Public Works have been and arc, yet all well-informed men know thoy have proved of immense utility to Union county, and to all other counties ljing near them ; and that their advantages greatly overbalance their evils. A llailroad has manifest superiority over Canals, especially in that they can be used at all seasons of the year, with much more comfort and speed ; they greatly en hance the amount of travel and transpor tation ; and they bring reinoto inland counties, such as Union and Northumber- , vtv a" UllaaOjfula anil more markets than Lancaster and Chester formerly were. The Susquehanna Iload, during the time of iU construction, would enlarge tho business of the counties of Union and Northumberland; the day of its completion would show an increased valuation of 500,000 in tht two counties ; and every succeeding year would develop advantages gained by the lload to the whole country in a social, business, and pecuniary point of view. Even allowing, then, that there was a reasonable probability that at the end of twunty years, Union county would have t pay tho bonds for $200,000 mad. to the Susquehanna llailroad Company, still, the Ttoad would have provided her in the meantime with means and increased facili ties to pay tho a!eraents a dozen times over. But no well-informed man anti cipates that the Koad would ever be a tax. On the contrary, it is most probable that if the County should borrow the moaey for the Iload and retain the Stock in her own hands, it would in threo or four years yield a dividend sufficient to meet the in terest form a sinking fund for the princi pal and leave an excess sufficient to relieve us from paying any County Taxes. There are many llailroada which pay 8 to la per cent dividends : and not a few believe that the Susquehanna would be one of the best paying Ilailroads in the Union. Should it pay 12 per cent., it would give the County $12,000 per year, clear gain, and relieve the people from taxation for county purposes. J Another Railroad project is sow receiving attention at Williamsport, and the Lycoming Democrat indulges the hope that by the 1st of January next, a Railway communication from Williamsport to the Block House, and thence to ISlossburg, Covington, Mansfield, Tioga, andLawrcnce ville (in Tioga Co., Ta.) terminating at Corning (N. Y.) with the New York & Erie Railroad, will be effected It will be recollected that there is now a concern of a Railway from Williamsport to Ralston ; and about 15 or 20 miles N. by W. of Ralston, a little better railway runs from RIossburg to Corning. Instead of comple ting the road from Ralston to Elmira,and its parallel from Blossburg to the West Branch, it is manifest that a conjunction of the two interests which could be effected by so short a connection, would be mutually advanta- geous,and just what the public would rejoice to soc accomplished. Accordingly, it is sta ted,a company of New Yorkers (ever intent on extending the arms of trade of that City,) have advanced tbe money necessary to relay the Corning and Blossburg Road with six feet rails and complete the link yet wanting to the West Branch, by Trout Run or some other route. Wc give the project as wc Cnd it stated. The Democrat thinks that, although Gen. Packer is elec ted President of the Williamsport & El- mira llailroad Company, that Road will not go on in our generation, and that the new project is feasible and sure. A large public meeting recently held in Williams port, speaks in tne same encouraging terms. t&-lt appears from tho following ex tracts from a private letter from a native of Lewisburg now resident in Portland (Maine,) that Ncal Dow'a successor as Mayor is likely to disappoint both friends and opponents. Portland, May 10, 1852. Major Parris and the City Marshals, contrary to the expectations of most per sons, arc prosecuting the Liquor law more strenuously aud effectually than even Dow did. There were a great many persons who voted for Parris who liked the law well enough thought these common grog shops a nuisance, and ought to be done away with ; but they didn't liko Dow they didn't like the way in which the law had been enforced. They thought Parris was a man who would carry out tho law " judiciously," believing at the same time that the law would be a dead letter in his hands but using these means to secure his election. Now that he has turned to be a " regular, perpendicular, straight-forward Blaine Law" man, to say that they were disappointed in their man, &c., would be casting imputations upon their political sagacity which would never answer ! Of course, he weeta the approbation of all true temperance men consequently, there are but very few so inconsistent and obdu rate as to find fault with the present ad juinistraUon 1 ' "' W- M.

Eimtou I wish to show to my fellow citizens, how groundless are the fears which, for political effect, certain men are endeavoring to sprc td abroad, in relation to the County Subscription to the Susquehanna Railroad Company. 1. The leaders in this effort to inflame the public mind against the County Com missioners, knew when the law to give them that power was pending in the Leg islature ; aud yet, I am told, not one of them ever remonstrated to either House against its passage, or endeavored to persuade Gov. Bigler to veto the Bill. If they thought it wrong if they thought it would be dangerous to the tax-payers why did they not An raise the noto of alarm ? That they did not remonstrate at the only proper time, is to me evidence sufficient that they had no fear?, and that they are working for selfish ends, only. 2. To those who know the revr lierliu Timet, it is unnecessary to state that it is engaged iu this crusade ; but to show its duplicity, you have only to read its issues prior to the action i.f the Commissioners, wherein it is shown that it urged the project on, and breathed no word against the County subscription. Nay, more at the County Meeting, it was proved that ita Editor was one of a Committee which personally recommended tho Commissio ners to make the subscription. The venerable Dr. nolacher, who acted with him in good faith in the matter, publicly charged this breach of honesty upon him. The Dr., although of his own party.thinks honor of more consequence than petty party npcculations, and that the welfare of the whole county is more important than the election of A. or B. for Com missioner. Mr. Baum, howovcr, having done his best to get the Commissioners to take this step, now tries to make it a political hobby. If they had refused to make the subscription, he would no doubt have made that, a hobby against them. 3. The most serious getter np of ex citement to save the people from taxation, is Maj. Jaek Cummings, who holds an office at Columbia, and who appear al most as much in earnest as when he stood forth the champion against the Militia and School Laws. But if people who have the heaviest taxes to pay, do not object to ' the subscription, certainly Maj. Cummings may be easy. The Road would furnish abundant Tii' ans to meet aiiy burden it would possibly create. BRANCH FARMER. 4. The most vociferous speaker against I the Subscription was your old friend, Maj. Cbs. IL fchriner, Inspector of Distilled , Spirits in Philad. who comes all the way ! from the City to protect the people of Union county in their rights. The Major certainly wen t it strong, in English and in German thus: " Liberty ! unheard of deed of the County Commissioners ! liuusci iiiii uuu a ivuu vsou . m lien on the poor man's humble cabin ! Saratoga ! progressive spirit of the age ! New Orleans ! a mortgage on every man's farm! aristocracy ! the free air of heav en ! Yorktown ! the will of the people 1 oppression ! next thiug, they'll pass a law that a man sha u t sleep with his wife ! insulted majesty of the people I mon opoly ! Ticonderoga ! equal rights ! freedom I ' iie. &c. All extremely well done, and entirely apposite to the subject. If I only believed in "spirit rapping," I should have thought the cheers which followed some of the other speakers, were from theuppcr (or nether) world, and al though not quite in time for the Magnetic Telegraph is not yet extended from terra firnia to the celestial regions were really intended as responses to the Major's ap peals to the departed. But, in the course of the harangue, it turned out the speaker, ! in his individual if not in ins onicial or corporate capacity, his himself taken stock iu the roaif. e all know that lie is not there is not a remote urobab itv that it: will ever be a dollar's tax upon the people, I say this fact nlono is to me surliciunt proof that Maj. S. has himself no appre hension of any taxation resulting from this subscription. 5. As to the expediency of the law itself, I have only to say that I should have pre- fcrred a submission of the question to the' people, if time had permitted. As far as public opinion was expressed by the press and by public meetings, the Commissioners did consult the wishes of the tax-payers, without incurring the expense of an elec tion. The bill became tho law of the land the Ctimini.-sioni.TS have acted under it the people have approbated their course Vie Jart can not be chungril and the factions course of a few demagogues who seek to mislead and prejudice honest men, can be of no advantage to them, to the people in general, or tojhe Road. A litAitn'& Tax-Payer. Letter fnm California. The following extract from a letter from Kcv. Charles Mac-lav, published in the "Chambcrsburg Valley Spirit," though written some time since, will be read with interest by his numerous friends and ac quaintances. Sakta Claba, March 4, 1S52.

Thousands .of acres are now in small grain, and bid fair for a heavy crop. Our climate ia the most pleasant in the world, and said to be very healthy. You know I was half dead with dyspepsia for several years btfor coinnu- here well, I have never enjoyed better j health than 1 now do. The Lord's name! be praised for it. I am frequently asked ! if I. would advise my friends to come to' California. Those who eniov pood health I iu mo nuaniic country, and are in easy circumstances. I would advise to stay where thev are, but those in feeble health I would advise by all means to come, and the sooner the better. 1 would advise those just commencing the world, instead ofgoing to the west to come here. It is a rare instance for a person to make a for tune in a few months, and noi.e should come with any such calculations. It is a grand mistake for persons coming to this country to leave their families behind. If they come here let ihem bring their wives and children, with the understanding that they will make this their permanent home, and if they are industrious and economical, there is no doubt but in ten years or less time they will be rich enough. Thousands it is Irue.come here.and fail in everything; but these very persons, it must be bore in mind, failed in everything before they came to California. California will not make sober men out of drunkards, but in a thousand instances the reverse. It will not make saving, managing men out ol spendthrifts ; but give her a fair chance with good honest men, and they will do much belter than in your country.
