Chapman, President of the late Whig National Convention, in which he aecept-i-l the nomination for the Presidency. In this letter he says, "not having written a u onl to pro cure this distinction, I lost not a moment, after it had been conferred," &c. Now, we say and can prove, that he did write to "procure this distinc tion ;" for in the columns of a Whig paper, the Ilarrisburg Telegraph, we find the following let ter incorporated in the proceedings of the third day, evening session, of the Baltimore "Whig Convention. The U tter was addressed to Hon. W. S. Archer, of Virginia, a delegate in that ' convention was read aloud by Hon. John M. Botts, (the man who slept with John Tyler) so that every member could hear it praiotis to the adoption of the platform, anl before a ballot had been taken for candidates. My Dear Sir I have decided f write nothing to the Convention, or to any individual member before nomination : but should that honor fall tii my lot, I shall, in my acceptance, give my views of the Compromise measures in terms at b'ast as strong in their favor as those I read to you two days since. Please say as much to my triends, Gov. Jones, Mr Botts, Mr. Lee, etc. In haste, yours truly, Vi'intield Scott. To Hon. W. S. Archer. He had decided to write nothing to any indi. vidual member before the nomination; yet the letter in which he state3 so is written to an indi vidual member brfore the nomination ! Singu lar contradiction hasty mistake ! He would not write a word, yet does write. There is a sample of his grannyim, which we commend to the serious consideration of that celebrated and distinguished military chieftain, Major George Raymond, of enlarged proportions ; the taleu tnted, witty, eloquent and well informed editor and accurate (!) reporter of the llollidaysburg Whig and more, the late transcribing clerk for the Pennsylvania Senate. A man "who is de. btincd for till rise." General Scott certainly has a bad memory, so to contrdiact himself within ten days, for the letter to Archer, was written, as Botts declared, on Tuesday night, June loth, end his letter of acceptance dated June 24th positively states that he had not written a word. The Archer letter was "fished"' out of the coat or breeches pocket of Mr. Botts, and contains a - bid" for the nomination ; for it is an undenia ble fact that Gen. Scott could not have been nominated had he not written this letter, and stated in it that he would give Lis views on the compromise "in terms at least as strong in their favor as those he had read to Mr. Archer a few days since." The Geueral has established a fa mous character as "The complete Letter wri ter !" Gen. Scott iu his letter of acceptance also says, 'The political principles and measures laid down ju those resolutions (the W hig platform) are so broad that but little is left fur vie to add ."' In other words, the platform is scarce wide enough for him to stand upon, and he wishes to insert a couple of extra planks ; he desires to add a platform of his own and to go back of the pro ceedings of the convention and dictate to the American people. He then suggests what he desires to have added to the platform, in the fol lowing manner : "I therefore barely suggest, in this place that hould I, by the partiality of my countrymen, bo elevated to the Chief Magistracy of the Uni on, I shall be ready, in my connection with Con gress, to recommend or approve of measures in regard to the management of the public domain ho as to securean early settlement of the same favorable to actual settlers, but consistent, ne vertheless, with a due regard to the equal rights of the whole American people in that national inheritance.' This is precious Whig doctrine and appears to be as "clear as mad" to us. He takes an equiv ocal position on this 6uject, and his language can be construed into two different meanings, both of which are in opposition to Whig teach ings. An I as the American people are aware that !en. Scott did write a letter in 1811 to G. W. Reed of Ihila., in v.l.uh be took extreme ground Against the rights of foreigners, which we challenge any Whig to deny, and said in thatletter "I now hesitate between erfewliiig the period of rMdence 1 hi fore naturalization, nnd n total re, of all O'tfs of C'ongreKi upon the subject my i,.ind incline to the LATTER ;" therefore the General must now chrngehs sails and in hislet ter of acceptance says : I shall be ready to recommend or approve a r:&7ie alteration in our naturalization laws, sug-jM-SteJ lv my m'li'ary erpet imce, viz ; giving to all foreigners ti e right. of citizenship, whoshidi t.ii'.h.Vily ferve in tiniu of war, one year on board rf our public ships, or iu our land forces, ur or ou;iiiee-r. Had Gen Scott no military experience in 1841 when he was '-fired with indignation" against all foreigners, and when he desired that all of our adopted citizens should be disfranchised and forever debarred from enjoying the rights guar anteed them by the Constitution ? Are we to have an army composed of hundreds and thou sands of those born abroad who become citizens of the Republic in one year by serving in the army or navy, while the sober, industrious far mer who arrives here from Ireland or Germany will be required to reside five years ere he can become a citizen ! This is discrimination with a vengeance. This is hypocricy and demagogue ism ! Far better, we say, that the poor foreigner would live for one year in thecityor country and tlicu become a citizen, than for him to be in the army or navy that length of time and be natu ralized. On his farm, in his workshop, under his cottage roof, in one year he could learn much of our institutions and could glean sufficient to become a free and independent voter. Not so in the army or navy where the use of arms and the wielding of the sword would be his study. There he could not be instructed as a citizen should be there he could not learn aught con cerning our institutions. The design of Gen. Scott and his party is to catch votes, but the good sense of the American people, those who are adopted citizens and those of the manor born, will demonstrate to the Whig party that votes are not to be bought for the benefit of the man who in 1841 "concurred fully in the prin ciples of the Native American Party," and who J 1 i against each other. Gen. Scott "stoops too low to conquer" when he has to bid for the votes of our adopted citizens, and he will find that adop ted citizens have their rights at the polls that they know these rights, and knowing will main tain them. Xative American Convention. Delegates of the above party, from eight States met at Trenton, New Jersey, on Monday, July 5th, and after organizing adjourned over until the followiug dav, when Daniel Webster, of Massachusetts, was nominated as the candidate of the party for President, and George C. Washington-, of Virginia, (who is said to be a nephew of Gen. Washington ) for Vice President. The name of the party was changed to the "American Party ;" the resolutions adopted en dorse the Compromise measures as a finality, and among other changes of creed, substitute for twenty one years residence, extensions from time to time by Congress, of the period of nat uralization, &c. It is stated that Mr. Webster will aocept such nomination, and we also notice that this statement is contradicted. Whether : he accepts, or not, we bclive he will be voted for lry large numbers of Whigs in Massachusetts and Whigs and Native Americans in other States The proceedings of a Webster meeting in Bos ton will be found in another column, and the disaffection existing in that quarter in regard to Gen. Scott is great. Mr. Webster may wait un til he hears from the "Georgia Union Conven tion," which meets to-day ; and should he be placed in nomination by that party, there is a strong probability that he will accept both nom inations. There is trouble in the Whig camp north and south, and the disaffection increases daily. The democracy unite on Pierce and King and have determined that they shall be elected over Scott, Webster, Chase, and all others, by a real old-fashioned Jackson ma jority. Since writing the above we find that the Wash ington correspondent of the New York Journal of Commerce writes as follows : "Mr. Toombs has left for Georgia. lie will attend the Geojgia Union Convention which is to meet on the 15th inst. That body will per haps present a third ticket. It is said that Mr. Toombs is iu favor of the nomination of Mr. Webster. Rut he said, in his speech, that the friends ef the Union party could, with, consis tency and propriety, go for Pierce. A ticket will create a diversion in favor of Tierce. It would not, probably, throw the election into the House, nor would it be desirable in reference to the interests of thu country." And the New York Day Book, of Saturday, a Whig paper, contains the following call and ur ges the sending of delegates from the several States : "A National Union Convention will be held in the city of Philadelphia, on the first of August, 1852, for the nomination of Daniel Webster for the Presidency of the United States, and a suit able candidate for the Vice Presidency, for the support of the Union party of the Xation, in No. vember next. Delegates from ten States now hold themselves in readiness for this step ; other States are requested to ehoose suitable repre sentatives without delay. Friends of the Uni on, and of its great Champion, you are now called upon to give evidence of your devotion to that cause, which has enlisted the talents of the most eminent, and the sympathies of a mighty nation. The immediate formation of local Web ster Associations is earnestly recommended." Certainty, there is a disposition to have Mr. Webster before the people, nnd whether the ef fort wins or loses, the exhibition of dissensions and divisions in the ranks of the Whigs is more the less observant. Conrt aeljourned on Saturday morning last. Hereafter the regular courts will be held on the first and second Mondays in the months of September, December, March nnd June, ma king eight weeks iu a year or four terms of two weeks each. On account of an error in the bill changing the time, pmssed by the Legislature, the Court had no authority last week to author ize a jury to be drawn for the September term, therefore there can be no jury trials then no thing but arguments. An adjourned court will probably be held iu October or November. Mis3 Durbois says that the first time a coat sleeve encircled her waist she felt ns though she were iu a pavillion built of rainbows, the w indow sills of which were composed of aeolian harps. That young woman should have her feet s caked 1 "Principles as is Principles." The "Whig party of this county held their county convention on Tuesday, July Cth, and as it was the first assemblage since the nomination of Gen. Scott, we looked for an endorsement of his nomination, and an endorsement of the platform on which he stands (the two extra planks included) by that body. But no such resolutions were passed jNot a line, or a syllable is recorded in favor of the platform of the "Whig National Convention or its nominees. Not a word for a general distribution of the public ! lands ! Not a word for a general system of in ternal improvements ! Not a word for a nation al bank ! Not a word about the Sinfcen Fund .' Not a word in favor of rag banks ! Not a word on the slavery question ! Not a word for Gal- phinism and Gardinerism ! And not a word of ' regret, no resolution of sorrow, for the decease of the man without whose efforts the Whig party would long since have been defunct, the states, man, patriot, and sage Henry Clay ! O Whiggery, to what base uses hast thou come at last. The Whig party of this county cannot have any principles else they would have given publicity to them. If they do claim any, we take it for granted that they are ashamed to see them in print afraid to let the people readwhat they are. From such a party, O Lord deliver us. Huzza for Scott and Grimes ! The following resolutions were passed by the said county convention, and may be considered j the platform (?) of the Cambria Whigs : Resolved, That the Congressional Conferees be also Resolved, That Johnstown be recommended as the most suitable place for the meeting if the Congressional Convention. The "Pierce ami ICing Clul." This body met in the Court House on Thirs day evening last, and the committee reported a constitution and by-laws which were unanimous ly adopted. Cyrus L. Fershing, Esq., of Johnstown addres sed the Club and was loudly applauded duiiug his remarks. He gave the reasons fer the don ocratic faith that is within him, and examiied at full length the fallacious claims of the Whig party to the support of the people, and exposed the Whig Baltimore platform, showing that the Whig party has abandoned all its heretofore cherished doctrines. Col. Thomas C. M'Dowell, of llollidaysburg, being present, was called upon and responded in an eloquent manner. His familiar voice vas welcome music to the ears of his many friends in this section. He contrasted the principles of the Democratic party the principles, of Jeffer son, of Jackson and of Polk, with those profes sed by the Whig party heretofore and esublish ed the truthfulness and excellence of thi Demo cratic creed. He spoke of the greatna-s, the grandeur and the progress of the Repuluc, and contended that it has resulted through Demo cratic principles. His speech waslengtly, clas sic, and beautiful, and during its delivery he was warmly applauded. ' The club meets to-night at the Court House. Democrats be in attendance. A violent hail storm passed out this place on Friday afternoon, doing considerable damage to the grain and fruit. The rain fell ia torrents f&r several hours. Respect for the Bead. A correspondent of the New York Express, who accompanied the luneral cortege U Alba ny writes : "The coffin, which rests in the salocn of the boat is covered with a magnificent canopy of crape, and on the top are strewn flowers of the choicest kind. Near the head is a teautiful wreath ma Ie from the 'immortelle' i'or life everlasting flower) brought from France and presented by Mrs. Ann Stephens, the Poetess, with a request that it might be placed on the tomb of Henry Clay in Kentucky. It is i bright yellow, while cross of a dark brown of tic same flower is worked in it. It is admired by all' as a fit emblem to the memory of Henry Clay, who will live forever in the hearts of his country men. The civic wreath presented by the Clay Festival Association, and with tie same request, also adorns the top, while the Laurel wreath from Philadelphia, and the Roquets, from Baltimore and Washington, are placed around it and still maintain their fragrance and beau tv." Funeral Honors at Cincinnati. The re mains of Henry Clay arrived by the enrs, at Cincinnati, Thursday at eleven o'clock. A very large procession, composed of the military, Free Masons, Odd Fellows, firemen, and citizens generally, was formed, and escorted the body through the city, to the Louisville mail-boat, which left at one o'clock. The procession was nearly an hour passing a given point, and was a most imposing display. Business places were generally closed, as also all the public buildings. The streets through which the mournful cortege passed were hung with emblems of sorrow, while all the bells in the city tolled, and minute guns were fired. The body was placed in a hearse drawn by six white horses. From Saratoga. Saratoga, July 10. Saratoga is fast filling up, and there never were so many strangers here so early in the season as at present. These are some 350 at the United States, and the Union and Congress Halls are also well filled. The United States band arrived yesterday. The telegraph office here was opened yester day ; the line working finely communicating directly with the Bain office, 29 Wall street, New York. Their Last Resting Place. Lexington, Ky., July 10. The remains of Henry Clay have reached this city. A general gloom pervades the whole com muuity. The city is shrouded in mourning. The preparations for the funeral are solemnly grand, nnd tho body of him who was the na tions pride, will be consigned to its last resting place with becoming ceremony. Democratic Ratification Sleeting. " In last weeks paper we stated that "a lare 'and enthusiastic meeting of the Democracy of the county was held at the Court House, on Tuesday evening, July Gth," in pursuance of a call made by the chairman of the county com mittee, and "that the proceedings of the meet ing wouli be published next (this) week.

Pershing Esq., of Johnstown, who delivered an eloquent address. Wm. A. Smith, Chairman of the Committee then reported the following resolutions wbieh were adopted. Resolved, That this meeting cordially respond to the nominations of the Democratic Convention at Baltimore, and that we consider them every way worthy of our warm support as well as of! the Democratic party throughout the Union. Resolved, That the Democracy of Camoria county cordially, sincerely, and enthusiastically endorse the Democratic platform as established by the late Democratic National Convention at Baltimore. That we regard it as containing a full, clear, and explicit declaration of the prin. ciples of the Deraocracj' of the w hole union. That in the language of our Honored Standard bearer, Gen. i rank Pierce, we can know no North no South, no East no West, but the whole country from Maine to the Pacific, and that we regard the perpetuity of our beloved union as above and beyond every other earthly consideration. Resolved, That in Franklin Pierce we recog nize a civilian, statesman, and soldier, whose past life has proven his attachment to the re publican party, and love for the institutions of his country, and in the councils of the nation, as well as in the tented field he has evinced a determination to uphold and sustain the inter ests and welfare of the whole union. Resolved, That in the Democratic nominee for Vice President, Col. Wm. R. King, of Alabama, we recognize an eminent statesman and an un swerving Democrat.

Resolved, That we invoke the Democracy of the county to buckle on their armour for the Presidential campaign, and effect an early or ganization in the several townships of the coun. tv, feeling assured that their active support in defence of the principles of the party will en sure a triumphant victory over the tinsel and glare of a mere military hero. The following resolution offered by Wm. J. Williams, of Ebensburg, was on motion read. Resolved, That this meeting exceedingly re gret the course pursued by some members of the party at the late Democratic County Con vention, and that we firmly believe harmony and union can only be restored to the party by the convention being again called together and j so to act in a spirit of conciliation, concession j cause, nothing for men, that a ticket might be so formed as to meet the wishes of the people and in the support of which all could unite to secure success. A vote being taken on the resolution, the chair declared it adopted. Gen. Jos. McDonald, of Ebensburg, then ad dressed the meeting in an eloquent manner. On motion the meeting adjourned with nine hearty cheers for PIERCE and KING. Highly Interesting irom "Washington. Washington, July 9. The Senate's Special "Committee on the recent Mexican claims commission, has been sitting and taking evidence for some time. Strange de velopments are said to have been made. Seve ral documents have arrived from Mexico to the chairman, developing the nature and history of the Hargous' claim, which amounted to $G00, 000, and which was all paid. It is said that Mr. Soule's committee will report soon, in a way to throw the Gardener claim in the shade. It is understood that Mr. Webster, who left on Tuesday for Massachusetts, will not return to Washington at all. Probably Mr. Corwin will remain as long in Ohio. The Cabinet may now be considered exploded and broken up. Mr. Graham has resigned Mr. Corwin is in the West, and Mr. Webster in the East, never to re turn. fiayThe Boonsville, (Md.,) Odd Fellow states that some two months ago, a young man named Garver, residing uear that place, while fishing, was 6tung by a catfish, which has proved quite serious and painful, aud threatens to result fa tally. His hand and arm became very much swollen, and continued to grow worse until a few days ago, when it was found necessary to amputate oiie of the fingers, in order to arrest mortification ia taa arm. Keep It Before the American People. That the Louisville Journal, a favorite sheet among the whigs of Fayette county, declared in 1846, that the "Mexican war was supported on ly by men of low instincts andlow intelligence." Keep it before the American people, that Tom Corwin, a great whig luminary, at present Sec retary of the Treasury, declared, "that if he were a Mexican, he woulel welcome the Ameri can soldiers with bloody hands to hospitable graves." Keep it before the American people, that Dan iel Webster declared that "the Mexican war was not voted for by any body, but that the Presi dent (Polk) made it without any vote at all." Keep it before the American people that the Cincinnati Gazette ( Whig) said, "No man, no people, looking on upon the con test, can help sympathizing with the broken power of Mexico, and uniting in uttering a BIT TER CONDEMNATION against our govern ment." Keep it before the American people that the A'enia (O.) Torchlight ( Whig) said, "That the Americans will soon overpower them (the Mexicans) there is perhaps little doubt. Yet we must confess that our sympa thies are with THEM. They 'fight for their country, their altars and their homes' we for power, ana plunder, and extended rule. They are fighting for liberty we to extend the area of slavery. They are in the right WE IN THE WRONG. They may appeal with confidence to the God of battles; but, if we lof.k for aid to any other than human power, it must be to the infernal machinations of HELL ; for thus far it would seem the Devil has governed and guid ed all our actions in the premises," Keep it before the American people that the Easton Register ( Whig) said, "We are in a war in which the sympathies of the civilized world must be AGAINST US. Whoever prays that Ged will defend the right must pray for the success of our enemies." iveep it belore the American people that the Tiffin Standard (Whig) said, "We learn from the U. S. Gazette, that Messrs, Saveny & Co., Iron Founders in Phila delphia, have received an order from Govern ment to manufactdre one hundred tons of CAN NON BALLS 1 in the shortest possible time. These balls we suppose are for the purpose of shooting the Mexicans for defending thtir fust righlx." Keep it before the American people that the -V. Hampshire Statesman ( Whig) said, "No one is bound to enlist or volunteer in a war of invasion or conquest. Let every one keep aloof from this unrighteous, infamous, GOD-ABHORRED Mexican war, and it will soon come to an end. The project is, that. the administra tion can get neither men nor money to carry on an aggressive' war much longer. Thank the Lord for all that." Keep it before the American people that E. D. Culver (Whig) said in Congress, "My constituents feel, one and all, as I do, a burning indignation against this disgraceful war." Keep it before the American people that 27. Emhre ( Whig) said in Congress, "It is a war of invasion and conquest, against the desires, wishes, and interest of the great body of the people." Keep it before the American people that J. R. Giddings ( Whig) said in Congress, 'Sir. if I were a Mexican, as I am an Ameri can, I would never yield while a foreign soldier remained in my country." Keep it before the merican people tht the Boston Daily Chronotype (Whig) said, "If there is in the United States a heart wor thy of American Liberty, its impulse would be to join the Mexicans. It must be a sad and woful joy, but a joy nevertheless, to hear that the horde under Scott and Taylor, were every man swept into the next world." Great Fire in Boston. Boston, July 10 G P. M. The largest fire that has occurred in this city for the last twenty years is now raging. Up wards of fifty buildings on Purchase and Broad streets, mostly occupied by poor Irish families, fin VA nlr fvul v lAfn rl.icfi.m'Oi nn.l Mir flv. 10 om Kpreaj;no. It was caused by a fire cracker being thrown noon, in the rear of the Seamen's House, on Purchase street, which, with the Seamen's House, Bethel, &c, was soon consumed. It then crossed the street, and all the build, ings on both sides of Purchase street, to the head of Foster street wharf, and all, the buildings in the rear of the school house, from Fort Hill to Sea street, are in flames. The buildings were chiefly occupied by poor families, who lose their all. One hundreel families are already houseless. SECOND DESPATCH. Boston, July 11. It is estimated tnat the loss by the fire in this city, will reach $250,000. It is feared that sev eral lives were lost. Terrible Hail Storm. Fulton, N. Y., July 10. Yesterday afternoon, about half-past 3 o'clock a tremendous thunder storm, passed over this place, accompanied by wind and hail. Previous to the storm, the thermometer stood at 99j in the shade, but soon after it fell to 70. Many valuable shade trees were broken and uprooted by the wind, and large quantities of fruit trees were much broken by the hail. The corn crops, is severely injured. The hail stones were a3 large as pigeons, eggs. Near the town of Palermo, east of this place, large fields of corn were totally destroyed. This morning the thermometer stands at So, and notwithstanding the great heat, hail stones, which remained on the ground all night, have been brought from Palermo, seven miles distant still as large as those which tell here yesterday The crops are much injured, and the corn and vines will scarcely produce half an ordinary vild. Much daniago has also fcsca sustained by the breaking of glass. Whig Harmony. We have long since expressed th opinion that General Scott, if nominated as the Whiw canVi date for President, conld not receive a sin ' " electoral vote south of the Potomac and Z Ohio, unless it might possibly be those of Re. tucky and North Carolina. Since his nomin"" tion, our convictions in re'aticn to the f.-eP" of bitter hostility to the tricksters in wh-S keeping he has for a long time placed himself have been greatly strengthened. We have ' vcr thought that any man who could enjoy tie confidence of such arch demagogues n Corwin Stevens and Seward, could gain any foothold ia the minds of men who love our glorious Cont: tution whether their home was in the North the South, the East, or the West : and ' document that has recently emanated frr the City of Washington, signed by nine of tb most thorough supporters of all the WL; d trines in the South, (except Abolitionism,) ces the fact beyond a doubt. The gentlemen whose names are attached to this paper, are & mong the most able and influential politicians of their respective States ; and these are some of the grounds npon which they declare their determination to oppose the elevation of Win field Scott to the Presidency. They say He obstinately refused, up to the time of his nomination, to give any public opinion in faV0r 1 of that Eeries of measures of the last Cougres .Uvr.u a. iuv vuiujuuiuiae ; uie pennaneLt maintenance ef which, with us, is a question of paramount importance. Nor has he since his nomination male any declaration of his approval of those measures as a final adjustment of tLe issue In controversy. r - r xr t no 4 1 f .-..- w r-, C - ii He takeg tbe nomina. tion cum onere, as an individual takes an estate with whatever incumbrances it may be loaded with. And the only pledge and guarantee Le offers for his "adherence to the principles of the resolutions" are "the known incidents of a long public life," &c. Amongst these "known incidents" of his life is not one, so far as we are aware of, in favor of the principles of the Compromise. In one, at least, of his public letters, he has expressed sentiments inimical to the institutions of fifteen States of the Union. They say, that in the Convention he joined such demagogues as those we have nameJ, backed also by Greely, of New York, and Wm. F. Johnston of this State, bitter enemies to the Compromise measures, in order to defeat Web ster and Fillmore, both of whom they designate truly as "true and tried friends of the Constitu tion." The following is the closing pargraph of the address, with the names of the signers : We consider Gen. Scoot as the favorite candi date of the free-soil wing of the Whig party. That hi3 policy, if he should be elected, would be warped and shaped to conform to their views aud elevate them to power in the administration of the government, can but be considered as a legitimate and probable result. Ai.J oelieviDg as we do, that the views of that faction of mis chievous men are dangerous not only to the just and constitutional rigl.ts of t!ie Southern States, (which we represent in part,) but io the peace and quiet of the whole country, and to the per manent union of the States, we reg ird it as .he highest duty of the well-wishers of the country every where, whatever else they may do, to at least withhold from him their support. This we intend to do. Alex. II. Stevens, of Ga. Charles Jas. Faulkner, of Va. W. Brooke, of Miss. Alex. White, of Ala. James Abercrombie, of Ala. R. Toosins, of Ga. James Johnson, of Ga. For similar reasons, and others indicated in th eir speeches, the names of M. P. Gentry and C- II. Williams, of Tennessee, are also added to this paper; and we understand that Messrs. Marshall, Kentucky ; Outlaw and Campbell, of North Carolina ; and Cabell, of Florida ; have avowed the same grounds of objoction to Gen. Scott, and will steadfastly oppose his election. How, indeed, could it be otherwise, when the Whig nominee for the Presidency has been so perfectly willing to receive a nomination on any terms, or even without terms ? But the end has not yet come. Pittsburgh Union. Opening of the Central Railroad to Ureeutburgh. We are gratified at being able to annouce that the Pennsylvania Railroad was opened (inform ally) from Pittsburg to Greensburgh, on the 5th of July, on which Jday the Chief Assistant En gineer, Oliver W. Barnes, accompanied by a lew friends, contractors, and engineers, passed out from Turtle Creek to Greensburg. The roai was everywhere found to be in good order, aud the train, consisting of truck cars, the passen ger cars being engaged all day between Titts- burg aud Turtle Creek, did not experience the slightest difficulty at any point. Stoppages were made at every station, and the cars arrived at Greensburgh at dinner time. A sumptuous entertainment had been prepa red, at which the Hon. Judge Burrell presided, and made an eloquent and appropriate speech on the day which they celebrated, as well as on. the opening of the road. Mr. Barry, one of the contractors, followed Judcc Burrell, and a number of patriotic speech es were made, toasts drank, and songs sang. The occasion was one of much interest, and every thing passed off pleasautly, the train re turning safely iu the afternoon. The Southern "Whigs.. Charleston, July 10. The friendg of General Scott will hold a State Convention at Macon, Georgia, on the 4th of Au gust. The Savannah Republican (Union Whig) Thursday, says that the information received from various parts of the State, justify belief that of the 95,000 voters in Georgia, not 500 are willing to take General; Scott.
