By the County Committee,
S. J. KENSHAVV. Chi irman.
t3TJ. P. Urban & Co.. ha ve just re
ceived a fine assortment of New Goods at
their store room in Carrollton, which, as
will be seen by their advertisement in an
other column, they well sell on the most
accornod ating terms. We are glad to learn
that our friend James Carroll has entire
control of the establishment, and we take
pleasure in recommending him to the fa
vor of our Irtends in the north. They will
find him upright in his dealings and oblig
in his manners, and worthy the confidence
of the people.
Our friends Litzinger c Todd, and Col.
Milton Roberts, have also received from
the East, a splendid assortment of Dry
Goods ccc, as will be seen by reference
to their advertisements in another column.
Any person in these diggings, wanting any
thing in their line, will find them at their
respective posts, and anxious to give gen
ral satisfaction.
American Railroad Guide.
We are in receipt of a monthly publica
tion entitled the 4American Railroad Guide
and Pocket Companion for the United
States," containing tables of the fares, dis
tances, times of starting, &c, of the differ
ent railroads throughout the country. It
is accompanied by a map giving the routes
of all the railroads, and a large number of
the steamboat and stage lines connected
with them. It contains about one hundred
pages, arid is published by Curran Dens
more, Fulton street New York. It is a
valuable work and should be in the pocket
of every man whose business requires him
to travel.
Another Candidate f :r Congress
The last Westmoreland Argus contains
the announcement, by some of his friends
of ths name of Joirx S nodgrass, Esq., as
a candidate for Congress, to be run under
the Crawford county system which was
lately adopted in that county.
E2?The strike among the Irishmen on
the Central Railroad still continues. Wre
learn from the Blairsvi'le tfpalachian,
thtit about ten days since, some eighty or
ninety of them made an attack on a shan
ty on Martin's section, where some few
men had been at work, and broke tn the
window, drove out the occupants, and
injured one or two of them very severely.
The assailants were armedvith guns and
pijtols, and attacks on other shanties were
anticipated.
This sUte of things should not be per
mitted to hst tiny longer. The military
should be called out, and an end put to it
by promptly dispersing the crowd. If
thoso who are on a strike are not willing
to work for eighty-seven and a half csnts
per day, they should not bo allowed to
prevent others from working who are
willing to do so on these terms. We hope
scon to receive intelligence that the law

MOUNTAIN SENTINEL
Dcmoeratfc Conaty ComentJon.
The call of the Chairman of the Demo
cratic County Committee for a Conven
tion. & nominate a County Ticket will be
found in to-day's paper. This is a matter
in which every Democrat must feel a live
ly interest, and in which duty requires
him to take a part. The late Apportion
ment Bill throws so many advantages into
the hands of the Whigs, that every effort
must be made on the part of the Democ
racy towards uniting our entire force and
acting harmoniously together, if we desire
to maintain our ascendency throughout
the State. And in selecting Delegates to
our County Convention, great care should
be taken to send such men only as ate
known to be unwavering Democrats, en
joying the entire confidence of those they
represent, and who will act with an eye
single to the welfare and harmony of the
party.
In connection with this subject, we beg
leave to suggest to the Convention, the
propriety of appointing the Delegate to
the next State Convention, in addition to
the usual business which comes before
them. Wc are aware that this is some
what out of the usual course of things in
this county, but we think that every man,
on reflection, will come to the conclusion
that the movement is a judicious one, and
that the best interests of our party demand
its adoption. It would obviate the neces
sity of calling another convention for that)
express purpose, and would also prevent
? repetition of those scenes of excitement
and turmoil which have been too frequent
ly enacted in the Court House, and which
are always calculated to weaken our
strength. Indeed, we think the annual
Convention should transact all the busi
ness that would be likely to come before
the party for the ensuing year. We mere
ly make this suggestion at this time, in
the hope that the members of the Conven
tion will regard it as of sufficient import
ance to merit their serious consideration.
More on this subject hereafter.
Pennsylvania Railroad.
We are glad to learn, says the Pennsyl
vanian, that the additional subscription to
the stcck of this company is fast filling up.
The whole number of shares requisite to
i. ,i .
complete tne road, without a resort to
loan, (which all the stockholders are anx
jous to avoid.) when the subject was agita
ted in January last, was 20,700 and of
this, 8,900 arc absolutely taken 1,100
conditionally, leaving 7,135 to be taken
a deficiency in round numbers cf $372,000
We hear that there is a stron-r probabilitV
that 8200,000 of this will be subscribed
for by the districts of the Northern Liber
ties and Spring Garden but whether or
not, there should be no he'sitation in filling
up the balance, even if viewed in the light
of a paying operation. The S3 miles al
ready completed beginning at Ilarrisburg
and ending in the woods produces an in
come of $1000 a day, principally irom
passengers. When the road is in running
order to Hollidaysbrug, which it will be
the 1st of October, the income may be set
down at full S2000 per day, or about sev
en hundred thousand dollars a year the
interest on over eleven million of dollars
more than the whole road will cost when
completed.
The construction of the road has thus
far cost less than the estimates of the En
gineers, and its management is conducted
with care and economy. Of its impor
tance to Philadelphia there can be no ques
tion, and we hope the present effort to ex
pediate its completion will beattented with
entire success.
Arrest and Acquittal cf Gen. Lopez
Gen. Lopez, accompanied by one of his
Aids, J. Sanchez Senega, arrived at Sa
vanah Ga., on the 25th inst., by the "Isa
bella," which left Havana on the 22nd.
He confirms the news brought by the
Steamer Ohio.
We see it stated in a telegraph dispatch
from Savanah that Gen. Lopez and his
Aid were arrested in that city on the even
ing of their arrival by the Marshal of the
District, under the authority of a telegraph
dispatch from the President. Both were
taken before Judge Nichols, of the U. S.
District Court There being no evidence
against them, they were discharged at 12
o ciock. 1 he crowd m tne court room
was immense, and the decision of the
Court was received with much enthusiasm.
Gen. Lopez was escorted to his lodg
ings by the crowd. He made a speech,
in which declared his determination to
carry out his present project at all hazards.
He is a man of pleasing appearance, and
very intelligent. He made quite a favora
ble impression upon the citizens of Savan-
ah. He left, accompanied by his Aid, for
Mobile.

Frospeels of a Compromise.
The Baltimore Sun's Washington cor
respondent, writes as follows, under date
of May 24th, in regard to the prospects
of the Compromise bill of Mr. Clay:
Things look certainlv better for the
compromise, and the chances now are
that the bill will pass both Houses with
out encountering any serious obstacle. I
do not believe the bills will be separated.
Southern ultras may oppose ii; but not to
the extent of committing: suicide. I think

speech. -Common sense, says a trench
wtiter. "is the true cius t'f humanity.
Gen'l Taylor still swears a little ?gainst
the bill and against Clay; but between
that and vetoing the bill, there is a greater
difference than between a nomination and
an election. The cabinet are doing as
well as the budget of expenses.

nrjudge Wralker of the ' Delta," and
Dr. Kennedy of the "True Delta"
fought a duel May 4th, at the Bay of St.
Louis, with pistols. The distance chosen
was twelve paces. They fired once, but
neither was wounded, when Judge Walk

and the parties left the field without any
explanation or reconciliation. It is ru
mored that Mr. McGennis, the junior edi

Mr. Walker.
The Cuban Affair.
Interference of our Government. -The
Washington correspondent of the New
York Express says the Spanish Miuister
ha presented the subject of the invasion
of Cuba to President Tavlor, who imme
diately issued orders to the Gulf Squadron
to prevent il if possible. The writer adds:
"I have seen a letter to day from
Bridgeport, (Barbadoes,) from an official
source, which throws a Hood of light upon
the manoeuvres of the so called Cuban
Expedition.
"If the statements in this letter be true,
this affair is far more extensive and com
prehensive than you are aware of, and so
I think you will be ready to acknowledge,
ere long.
"The writer says: 'Cuba, Barbadoes,
Jamaica, and Hayti, are, beyond all man
ner of doubt, destined to change their ru
lers, and ere another letter from me may
reach you, the terrible work (for terrible
it will be) will have commenced.'"
We take the above from the Baltimore
Clipper. In appears that mere is a pro
ject in concoction also for revolutionizing1
n. . . . O
tsaroaooes, Jamaica, and Hay ti, as well as
Cuba. We think the revolution-makers
haa better be satisfied with revolutionizing
the latter, if they can achieve that much,
letting the other islands alone, for we can
assure them that Hayti and .Jamaica,
without re-enslaving the black popoulation
will be most unprofitable acquisitions.
But it may be part of the plan, to reduce
the ebony denizens again to bondage.
Easier said than done, that! The deni
zens will not consent, and without their
consent, the thing is not practicable, even
for General Lopkz and his liberating ar
my. If any suchview3 are entertained,
which we doubt, however., the specula
tors in revolutions will do well to recol
lect that twenty thousand picked French
troops found their graves in Hayti, about
titty years ago, being two-thuds of Gen-
oral Leclerc's army, which was sent to
wrest the island from the black insurgents.
Disease the climate did the business
for them, and not the swords of the ene
my, though they helped a little. And so
it would be at Jamaica. On the plains
disease would soon prostrate and use up
a North American force, and in the
mountatns a war could not be carried on
against the natives, either the whites or
the blacks, with any prospect of success.
A few hundred maroon negroes (runa
ways) once kept the whole force of the
island at bay for a considerable time, hav
ing taken possession of the mountain fast
nesses, from which they were dislodged
with great difficulty.
Therefore the "Patriots" had best be
content with the "Queen of the Antilles,"
if they can wrest her from Queen Isabella;
and to do that they will find a prettv hea
vy job, in our opinion, for we hold it to
be most certain, that the Spaniards are
not going to give up forever and aye, that
gem of the Gulf, without making great
efforts to keep it. IVash. Globe.
Annexation cf Sandwich Islands-
In an ar'iele under this head, the S
vanah Republican says:
"It has been estimated by a contempo
rary, that the Lhiited States have a frontier
line ot near 11,000 miles, a sea cost of
5,340 miles, and a lake coast of 1,100
miles. One of its rivers is twice as long
as the Danube, the largest river in England.
We have Stales larger then England, and
even bayous and creeks in Louisiana that
would shame the Tiber and Seine. The
harbor of New York receives the vessels
that navagate rivers, canals and lakes to the
extent of 3,000 miles, equal to the distance
from America to Europe. From the cap
ital of Maine to New Orleans is 200 miles
further than from London to Constantino
pie, a route that would cross England,
Belgium, a part of Prussia, Germany Aus
tria, and Turkey."
One would think that, with such a do
main as isdescribed in the above paragraph
we might afford to be contented. But the
cry of the nation is that of the individual
"More! More!" When did the ener
getic man of business ever think he had
amassed wealth enough? John Jacob
Astor and Stephen Girard were as hungry
for gold on the day of their deatii, as at the
hour when they had but a ninepence in the
pockets of tfieir ragged breeches. If the
spirits of the dead are permitted to know
what is going on upon earth, we have no
doubt that the ghosts of these defunct mil
lionaires are bitterly regretting that thpy
had not lived till after the discovery of Cal
ifornia. As with individuals, so with the nation.
"Give, Give!" that horse-leech cry, echoes
from the Atlantic to the Pacific. Give us
Canada! Give us Cuba! Even the Sand
wich Island exhibit a spasm of alarm lest
they (scracely able with their 'King Kama
hamaha and his dynasty' to make a break
fast for Jonathan) should be swallowed
down by the same voracious jaws. One
of their papers , protesting against the ar
rangement, naively assures its readers that
under the present King, the Sandwich
Islands "can never become a source of
danger or injury to other powers;" and
then goes on with charming simplicity to
assume that there is no danger after all,
because, "both in Great Britain and the
United States there is such a thing as pub
lie conscience." xlas! my little Polyne
sian, the "public consience" of the United
States upon the subject of annexation is
elastic enough to embrace Texas, Califor
nia. Canada, Cuba, and everything which
the "public appetite desires. Ifyou es
cape it will be because your insignificance
constitutes your protection.
We trust that annexation will not direct
its steps to the Sandwich Islands. We
thought it had found its furthest limits in
the waves of the Pacific. If it begins to
stride over the isles of that broad ocean
with its seven-league boots, no man can
tell in what quarter of creation it will
stop.

The General landed from the steamer
which left New Orleans on the 7lh. Sev
eral other vessels containing, in all, 1200
men had left previous to the C'eole, but
where they are to land it is not known.
The city of Havana was under martial
law, and several liiousand militia hid
been enrolled, and arms were presented
to them. The resident foreigners were
all called on to enrol.
There were 1500 troops in Matanzas.
and 800 were despatched from Havana at
o'clock, A. M., ui: the 20th, to reinforce
them, and march against Lopez.
It was rumored that the force under
Lopez had increased to 2000, and that he
wusulnndy half way to Matanzas.
On the lUih, news was received at Hav
ana, that a large force was collected on
Woman's Lland. near Cape Cutoclie, Yu
catan. The General of Marines, with
severaljvessels and about 3000 men, start

Just before the Ohio left, the steamer
Pizarrocame in with 105 prisorers, ta

were incstly German and Irish. Tne re

General Lopez effected a landing, is only
a small part of the expedition.
Il is known that some ten or twelve
vesels have left New Orleans fordifferent
ports of the Gulf, prooahly to land simul
taneously at different points.
It was reported that Lopez had broken
up the railr. ads to Cardenas, in several
places- The merchants and bankers in
Havana, were removing their money,

The Ohio, Georgia, and Falcon, were

Secretary of the Treasury's Estimate!.
The revenue for three-quarters of the
year exceeds (says the New York Globe,)
the estimate of the Secretary of the Trea
sury for the whole fiscal year of 1850.
The revenue for the quarter ending 31st
of March last, from ordinary sources, was
near S13,000,000. Yet Mr- Meredith
commenced his official career by recom
mending a loan of S 16,000,000. A few
more Galphin claims and the loan of six
teen millions would indeed be required.
The estimate were made, and the loan
proposed, with a view of operating on trie
tariff question. Claims were to be ad

was to have been a panic, and a general

ly blocked this game. The revenue tf
