EF"A few weeks since we received
what we supposed accurate information
concerning the death of John Ferguson,
Esq., which was asserted to have occurred
at New Orleans on the 10th of January
We are now happy in being able to an
nounce that the report of his death was
false, and that he is still in the land of the
living. It will be recollected that he left
this county some time since intending to
visit Cuba for the purpose of recruiting
his health, but he has as yet been unable
to proceed any farther than New Orleans.
EPWe believe the census of this county
has been taken, yet we can learn nothing
as to the result. The people generally
are anxious to know the number of in
habitants, amount of wealth, resources'
&c, embraced within the limits of Little
Cambria, and the Deputy Marshal would
confer a favor by furnishing a statement
for publication.
EPBy reference to our advertising col
cams it will be seen that Wm. A. Stokes,
Esq., of Greensburg, Pa., has formed a
law partnership in this place in connex
ion with our fellow townsmen, James P.
Barr, Esq.. and will hereafter visit us
regularly on Court weeks to attend to the
duties of his profession. It is our pleasure
to be acquainted with Mr. Stokes and are
rejoiced to learn that in future we are to
have his efficient aid and service at our
already talented bar, an event that will be
hailed with delight bv all our legal friends
here. Mr. S. formerly resided in Phila
delphia where he enjoyed the confidence
and respect of a large circle of friends.
and was highly esteemed for his bright
talents and legal attainments. At our last
court he was one of our counsel in an ac
tion of libel preferred against us, and thro'
his consummate skill in conducting the
case, his eloquent speech in our behalf,
and in favor of the true liberty cf the
press, and his sarcastic and humorous re
marks against the course of the prosecuto
succeeded in defeating the object of the
prosecutor in toto, for which we shall
ever consider ourselves indebted, and as it
was his maiden speech at this bar, he fully
established his character as a lawyer and
debater in this county. Mr. Barr is a
young gentleman of much promise and
although his residence here has been but
for a few short months, has made for
himself hosts of friends and is uuiversally
esteemed. We wish the new firm success.
Advice of President Maddison. The
following are said to be among the last
sentences which were committed to paper
by this illustrious statesman and pure pa
triot. They aie worthy of all acceptations
"ADVICE TO MY COITNTTY."
"As this advice, if it ever see the light,
will not do so till I am no more, it may
be considered as issuing from the tomb,
where truth alone can be respected, and
the happiness of man alone consulted. It
wiil be entitled, therefore, to whatever
weight can be derived from good inten
tions, and from the experience of one who
has served his Country in various stations
through a period ot forty years; who es
poused in his youth, and adhered through
his life, to the cause of liberty; and who
has borne a part in most of the great trans
actions which will constitute epochs of its
destiny.
"The advice nearest to my heart and
deepest in my convictions is that the
Uuion of the States be cherished and per
petuated. Let the open enemy to it be
regarded as a Pandora with her box open
ed; and the disguised one, as the serpent

A Beaulifnl Sight. The San Fran
cisco News, of Dec. 15, says: "One of
the prettiest sights ever seen outside the
Golden Gate was witnessed yesterday af
ternoon. A fleet of twelve sail, with all
canvass set, came up nearly abreast, and
making headway for our harbor as though
each was vieing with the other to be first
to drop her anchor within the Golden
Gate. It was a beautiful sight, and as
seen from telegraph hill, was not a little
exciting."
A New Lx.it of Steamships. We
learn from the Philadelphia Inquirer that
the subscription list to a new line of steam
ships between that port and Savannah,
Geo., is soon to be opened, and from the
character of the gentlemen who have the
project in hand, the Inquirer is satisfied
the enterprise will be a successful one.
The Philadelphia trade with the South has
been materially augmented since the
Charleston line of steamers has been
started.
EPIn the Virginia House of Delegates
on Monday, a preamble and resolution
were unanimously adoptad, requesting the
executive of the State to employ counsel
on behalf of the State to act in conjunction
with the counsel of the Wheeling and Bel
mont Bridge company, in opposing the
suit in the U. S. Supreme Court, institu
ted by citizens of Pennsylvania, in the
name of that State, with the view to have
the bridge across the Ohio abated, by rep
resenting that it obstructs the navigation
This the preamble denies. The Wheeling
bridge was erected under outhority of the
State of Virginia.
SPECIAL PRIVILEGES.
There is no source of wealth but pro
ductive industry. There are many occu
pations which are useful, though non-pro
ductive: as the schoolmaster, the merchant
or the exchanger of labor, (to a certain
extent,) and others not necessary to enu
merate; but it is only by productive labor
that the wealth of a nation can be mcrea
sed.its people supported,or itsgovernment
maintained. As the world was supposed
to rest upon the shoulders of the fabled
Atlas, so, in reality, governments and peo
ple rest upon the shoulders, the brawny
arms and huge paws of the producing
classes.
The greater the number of non-produ
cers in proportion to the number of pro
ducers in any country, the greater amount
of labor must the latter perform, and the
smaller the amount of their earnings they
can appropriate to their own use. Conse
quently, when the non producers are most
numerous, th producers are most misera
ble, over-worked, under-fed and not taught
at all.
Wherever there is a standing army; an
established church, an hereditary nobility;
a monarchy with its attendant places and
pensions: there are the producing classes
most depressed; laden with burdens grie
vous to be borne; compelled to toil day
and night for a mere pittance, just suffi
cient to keep body and soul together and
prevent the machine from slopping for
want of oil and fuel.
The constitution of the United States
forbids the existence of privileged orders
in the country; but our legislatures have
been busv creating an army oi non-produ
cers to be supported in idleness, allluence
and luxury by the producing classes, and
every day is adding to their number and
proportionally increasing the burdens ot
those who work for all. We have, it is
true, no standing armies; no established
church; no order of nobility; but we have
a substitute for all these in our paper
money system and its attendant consequen
ces, and in the various corporate bodies
upon whom our legislatures have seen
proper to confer special privileges at the
expense of the rest of the people. It
matters not what name they are called by,
or from what source thev derive their
warrant to live without work, whether
from the nod of an emperor or an act ol
the legislature, the result is the same
"they toil not, neither do they spin' yet
they dress in broad-cloth and fine linen
and fare sumptuously every day, while
the wealth producer can barely earn enough
under the most favorable circumstances to
support his family decently, laying up
nothing for old age and leaving to his chil
drenonly an inheritance of toil.
It is estimated that if all men were en
gaged in productive industry, it would
require but 3 or -1 hours daily labor from
each to ensure a competency for all, but
as the matter now stands even m this fa
vored country, the labor and the compe
tency are most equally divided. One
class does all the work, another receives
most of its products.
No man can do more than make a living
by work, unless his occupation chances to
be of siifh a kind as to ensure him the
receipt of the whole product of his labor
He must appropriate to himself part of the
proceeds of the labor of others before he
can begin to accumulate. And even here
the disparity of reward between productive
and unproductive employments holds
goou. i lie man who invests real canita
in productive industry, benefitting the
community by furnishingemploymentand
increasing the wealth of the state, may in
time, oy strict attention to business, indus
try and economy, realise a fortune: but it
is among the nonproducers; the dealers
in stocks; the shares in banking privileges
and members of incorporations alone that
fortunes are made, and sometimes lost in
a dav.
The papers are now teeming with the
details of a recent defalcation in New
York, the hero of which has managed with
the aid of our paper system, to get posses
sion of the representative of 70,000 ot
other people's labor -say the proceeds of
70,000 days work, lie could have ac
complished this by no other means. Let
our legislators think of these things and if
they can do nothing to protect the produ
cer and ensure to honest industry its just
reward, let them at least hesitate ere they
add to the army of non-producers, whose
vocation it is to harrass tiie people and eat
out their substance, by conferring special
privileges upon the few at the expense
and to the injury of the many. Keystone.
TIIE LOST ATLANTIC.
REVELATIONS OF A CLAIRVOYANT.
The Cleveland Plaindealer pnblishes
the following as the result of a clairvoy
ant investigation in that city, concerning
the loC steamship Atlantic. We have
very Imle faith in clairvoyance, spiritual
rappings, &c, but there are many well
informed persons who have. Mr. P. A.
Westervelt. whose name is appended
to the following, is well known to a large
number of the citizens of Pittsburg:
Four days out from Liverpool she en
countered a storm which drove her away
to the north; on the fifth day she lost her
foremast, the gale at the same time shiv
ering all her upper rigging, causing great
consternation and contusion on board; on
the night of the fifth day she struck upon
rocks and sprang a leak; the hands were
soon employed in stuffing the holes with
. i i i. ...i i
tarred rope and making other repairs.
She lay upon the rocks 12 days, surroun
ded by ice. By this time many on board
had perished with cold and fatigue, and
some were carried overboard by the sea.
The land was faintly visible from the ship
by the aid of a telescope. In the mean
time an eflort was made to launch two of
the small boats, both of which immediate
ly swamped and were lost. Finally, on
the 12ih, finding the boat about to break
and go down, a last effort was made to
launch two more small boats, which was
successful, and all who remained alive got
into them; the mate and a other persons
in the first, and the captain being the last
one to leave the vessel. Shortly after
this, she broke and went down, all but her
bow, which is still visible. The captain
and all in the boat containing the 12 per
sons, perished, their limbs freezing fast in
the ice water having got into the boat.
All in the oilier boat perished but two, the
mate and one other man. They reached
the laud safe, except one being badly fro
zen. The mate escaped tolerably safe,
but the other is not likelv to survive.
l'here are a few small huts near where
thev landed. They are inhabited by
Spaniards, and there is a small Spanish
town a few miles distant, which has a tew
small sailing craft in its harbor.
The above are all the particulars! could

still 1 do not claim infalibility for clairvoy
ance although this clairvoyant isgenerally
correct in her investigations, so far as 1
lave an opportunity of knowing, yet it is
not impossible that she may be in error in

The Course of Commerce.
The London Times, on commenting on
the news from California, throws out the
following suggestions for the benefit of
its money-market readers:
" The momentous fact, which nothing
can now do away with, is that 300,000 or
400,000 Anglo Saxons are settling them
selves on tue shures of the Pacific. A
new world is before them. They look
across to China, Japan, and all the riches
of the Indian seas, and the use thhy will
make of their opportunities may be the
best inferred Irom what they have already
accomplished, and from the known aspi
rations which the people ol the United
Stales have so long directed towards that
region. Already the presence of a large
number of Chinese is a distinct feature ot
the population of San Francisco, and al
ready the Sandwich Islands, Australia,
and Southern and Central America have
been called into a new life from the traffic
that has been established. The prophecy
of Humbolt that the activity of commerce
would be carried progressively from east
to west, is rapidly in process of fulfilment.
At present, however, there are few signs
that even this fact is appreciated in Europe,
and that the thing to be appreheuded is
that when, in the course of a few years,
the successes arising from it shall have
led to excitement, our people, who are
regardless of it now, will then rush furi
ously to overdo what should have been
done moderately and deliberately from the
first. It is to prevent foolish extremes of
this sort, that every endeavor should be
made to familiarize the public with the
contemplation of the change tnat is coming
on, and to induce the spirit of enterprise
to adjust itself to the new order of things
while it can rationally and profitably do
so, instead of waiting to regain, by a sud
den and destructive rush, the opportunities
that will have been lost through inattention.

The Steamship Empire City, from
Chagres, arrived at her deck at 3 o'clock
this afternoon. She brings San Francisco
dales to January 1st, the same as are re
ceived by the Falcon, which arrived at
New Orleans yesterday. No sign yet of
the steamship Georgia, which is also due
with the California mails. Both of these
steamers are crowded with passengers.
The Empire City brings 210 passen

The news from the Isthmus is of an
unimportant character.
About 80 iiouses were destroyed by fire
at Gorguna, on the 25th of January.
The health of California was good, and
the weather delightful.
The depredations of the Indians contin

to leave in consequence.
The cholera had entirely disappeared
from the places where it had raged so
fatally.
The election of U. S. Senator, in place
of Col. Fremont, was the all-engrossing
topic. The prominent candidates among
the Whigs were Edward Bryant and John
Wethered, and among the Democrats,
Col. John B. Weller, II. W. Halleck,
Col. John W. Geary, and Col. Fremont.
The latter gentleman, it appears, stands
no chance of an election, if the plurality
rule governs the election.

There is no money in the treasury, and
it is thought that a loan will be asked to

The markets present an unfavorable
aspect for shippers.
The mines yield less profitable than

despondency among the miners.
By the arrival of the Empire City we
have dates from Kingston, to January 31.
The cholera is decreasing.
A riot had occurred at St. Davids, in
which several lives were lost.
The mines continued to vield well, and

The Wreck of a Steamer fotiad off Cape Hatte
ras Supposed lo be lhe America.
Baltimore, Feb. 7. The Savannah
papers received here this morning, contain
the following:
" Capt. Ithodes of the schooner Wor
cester, arrived here yesterday from Fall
Kiver, reports having seen on Thursday
last, 30ih ult., at 2 o'clock in the after
noon, Cape Ilatteras Light, bearing N.;
W. by N. the hull of a steamer, appa
rently blown up, as all the top works
were gone.
" The fragments of the wreck consisted
of a mahogany steerage wheel, and furni
ture, such as tables, chairs and other
articles, indicating that it had been an ele
gantly furnished hip, united in every
direction about his vessel. Capt. Rhodes
thinks that the wreck could have occurred
but a short time previous, as the fragments
did not have the appearance of having
been long in the water. He distinguished
among other articles, a board painted
while with a time piece on it, surrounded
by a line of guilt stars. He could see no
one on board, and the hull, which had
sunk to the water's edge, appeared to be
going down.
" We are unable to conjecture, contin
ues the paper from which 1 glean the
above, 44 what vessel this can be, but en
tertain fears that it may be the steamer
Cherokee, which left New York on the
23lh ult., with 170 passengers for Chagres,
and which would have been ofi Cape
Ilatteras on Wednesday night, the ii9ih.
The steamers Prometheus and Falcon also
left New York for the same port, on
Monday, the 27th, at 3 in the a.'ternoon,
and it is possible that it is one of these.
" The probability is that it is one of the
New York and Chagres steamers, either
on their outward or homeward tiip, as
there are no oilier steamers answering
Capt. Rhodes description, which would
have been in that latitude, at that time.
Both the Alabama and Florida were in
port on Thursday, as well as the South
erner." The steamer above alluded to, is doubt
less the wreck of the steamer America,
whose loss was announced in the Penn
sylvanian on Tuesday last. It will be
recollected that she was wrecked on the
night of the 29th.
