THE BLIND.
Shortly after the death of Mr. Fried
lander, the students of the Institution for
the blind, assembled and resolved that an
obituary should be prepared for their friend
and benefactor, and the task was
ved upon Henry J. Gray, of Virginia, one'
of the blind, a lad in his fifteenth year.'
We have already had occasion to notice
the poetic composition, and musical wri
tings of this wonderful youth; we now in
vite attention to his notice of his belove&
teacher. We copy it from the Student's
Magazine, published in the institute, and,
printed with raised letters for the blind.'
U. S. Gazette .
There is a delight, an inexpressible pier
sure in hope, when the mind looks for
ward to futurity's golden hours with an
eye of joy; but there is a deep and awful
gloom cast over the soul, when we reflect
upon the past with sad and melancholy
regret. There is a charm in the calm
summer evening, when the last ray of the
setting sun paints the horizon—when the
warblers of the groves seek some breezy
height to sing their farewell songs to de
parting day; and there is a charm to the
eye when the blue vault of Heaven is bee
spangled with myriads of twinkling stars.
But when the irreligious man is:in the twi
light of life, and the shades of that even
ing gather thick and heavy around him —'
when he is just on the conhnes of an eter
nal world, unknown, untrodden b y living
man, there is a fear, a horror, feeling
which he alone knows. But to the Chris
tain, whose evening of life is unclouded
and undimmed by . crime, there is a bliss,
though pain, in dying; and in the concious
ness of well spent days gone by makes
his dying pillow easy. Thus it was with
our friend and tutor, Johns B. Friedlan
der, whose memory will ever be cherish.
ed by us, and whose name, in after years,
will shine with undimmed brightness and
lustre in the history of benevolent insti
tutions. The orator, the statesman, and
the hero,all seek for fa me;but on the names
of those whom blind ambition has led
through seas of blood there is left an in
delible stigma, a tarnish which time can
never wear aw:ty. Not so with our friend,
our much lamented friend.
Six years have not yet elapsed since
this good man influenced by the most hu
mane and noble feelings that ever warmed
and animated the bosom of man, bade his
kindred and 'his own, his native land'
adieu, and sought a home" in this, a land
of strangers--not iii the . pursuit of fame,
not in pursuit of honors, not in pursuit of
wealth; but in the pursuit of the more lau
dable and praise worthy object—the ele
vation of the afflictions of the unfortunate
blind—the alleviation of our afflictions
we, whose brows Misfortune with hercru
el hand has marked with sadness and with
sorrow. It was alone to pluck the thorns
from the blind man's dark and rugged path
through life that he sought our shores;
and, by his long and unwearied exertions,
the dark gloom which once surrounded us
is dispelled, and the bright mantle of ed•
ucation partly thrown around us. But,
alas! he is no more! That kind, that
generous heart has ceased to beat; his
feeble pulse has sunk to sleep, his mild
and gentle voice has hushed, and his bright
beaming eyes are closed in death; but
there is - lelt no crime, no unmanly action,
to cast a shade over his name. He is
gone; yet "all that's bright must fade, the
brightest still the fleetest." The fairest
flower of the garden is too often the first
tube plucked by the rude band of the de
stroyer. He is gone; our friend has gone,
forever Though his corpse lies low with
the dead, a tenent of the silent tomb, his
pure soul has winged its way to that bright
land of bliss, the hallowed home of God.
FREDERICK THE. GREAT AND THE URI
TED STATES.—Frederick e as never doubt
ful as to the issue of the Revolutionary
war setween this country and Great Britain
and openly declared Ins sentiments in a
treaty which he concluded with Russia in
1781, of armed neutrility. Franklin,
Adams and Jefferson valued the friendly
disposition of the great monarch so highly
whose influence over the world was great
that they invited him before any other
Power to a treaty of aimity and commerce,
which was concluded at Hague, 20th Sep.
tember, 1785, and was the last national
ir.l to which the King annexed his signa
ture. Part of this reads thus: "If one of
the two powers be at war with a third par
ty, the commercial intercourse between
the said two Powers shall thereby suffer
no interruption, and their respective flags
shall protect even the propety of their ene
my; and in case this property be amuni
tion of war, it shall simply kept in deposits
without being seized. If ever there should
be any difficulty between the two coun
tries themselves, the contest shall be con
fined to the armies, and commerce shall go
on unmolested, and no letters of Marque
shall be issued. The prisoners of war
shall be treated in the most urbane man
ner, and have the same pay and enjoy the
same treatment, as their own soldiers of
countries, according to their respective
ranks.—Augusta Chronicle.

History of the Lehigh Coal Trade—
Opening of the Alines—The Mauch
Chunk mines were partially opened prior
I to 1800, and small quantities of the coal
!taken to Philadelphia. A company was
!organized for the!business, but:regarded as
I visonary enthusiasts; some were driven
from the enterprise, some have since pas
sed from the stage, others persevered, suc
ceeded, and yet live to witness the com
plete triumph of their efforts, and the
complete consumation of their most enthu
siastic predictiptis. In 1812, nine wagons
were loaded aT the Schuylkill mines, and
hauled to Philadelphia, a distance of 106
miles. Two loads were sold for the cost
of transportation, to persons who agreed
'to try the coal in their rolling mill, and
the remaining seven were given away,
though it was difficult to find individuals
Ito take them. In 1814 twenty four tons
were taken downtlie Lehigh and Deleware
to the same city, being first hauled over a
though road of nine miles from the Mauch
Chunk Mines to the river; it was convey-
in an ark at the cost of $l4 per ton.
Notwithstanding the difficulties and ex
pense of transporting it, in 1814 and 1815
there began to be a demand for the article.
When peace took place, Liverpool and
Richmond coal came in abundantly, and
the hard kindling anthracite fell to a price
far below cost of shipment. From this
time the coal trade was abandoned, until
1820, when the Lehigh navigation was
completed, and 565 tons were delivered
in the capital. In 1821, 1,073 tons were
brought to market, 15 tons being shipped
coastwise and the rest consumed in Phila
delphia. In 1822, 2,440 tons were bro't
to market, 81 being shipped coastwise.
In 1920 may, therefore, be regarded as
the era from which we are to date the an
thracite coal trade of Pennsylvania. —Re
port of the committe of Me Senate of
Pennsylvania.
NORTH CAROLINA GOLD MINES,--SillCe
our last we have heard of the
discovery of very rich oar at the Lem
moil's Mine, about 15 miles south east
from this place. It is believed by gentle
men who have seen the oor that one bush
el of the best would be worth at least
$5,000, and the tioorest about $lOO per
bushel. This mine is situated on a ridge
running from Fox's Hill in a southeasterly
direction to the Catawba river, and in ev
ery instance where the ridge has been pen
etrated
fine specimens of its richnes have
been discovered.
A new mine has lately been opened on
the land of Mr Elam Hunter, about five
miles east of Charlotte, ore of which
is considered good, some specimens
we have seen. This land, which would
have been considered high at $5OO, has
been increased in value several thousand.
The Rodgers's mine, about seventeen
miles east of this place, discovered several
months ago,is also found to be rich in the
precious tal, masses having been found
embodied in, quartz rock, one piece itself
being- worth $3OO.
The Rudisill mine, which has not been
worked for some months,has been re-open
ed under the surrintendance of Capt.
Penman, with a fine prospect of success.
Every indication seems to strengthen
former opinions, that the mineral resour
ces of this section of the country are al
most inexhaustable. —Charlotte (N. C.)

DEATH OF HEZEKIAH NILES.
We regret to learn that this event, which,

on the 2nd inst. lie had been for several
years in declining health; the result of a
life of great labor, as the publisher of the
"Register," which has rendered his name
immortal. Mr NILES was a printer, by
profession, a man of strong and ardent
feelings, of considerable talent and of an
industry so untiring that he achieved re
sults which men of superior intellect, but
less capable of labour, woul have failed to
accomplish. Ile was besides a frank, hon
orable, independent and truly republican
spirit, simple in his manners and habits,
affectionate to his family, liberal to those
employed in the prosecution of his busi
ness, disinterested and public spirited.
His life was one of great usefulness, and
few men in our country have more to con
nect their names, in an honorable manner,
with the public enterprises in which the
the welfare of society is concerned.—

From the Frmitier.
Things are in a bad state at, the North.
Hardly a night passes, without a burning
on one side oa the other. On Friday of
last week, a barn and shed owned by
Charles Miller, of St. Armand, was bur
ned down, together with its contents,
consisting of eight horses, ten cows, two
oxen, five calves and a large quantity of
hay. The Missiskoui Standard says that
the perpetrators of this act were traced
several miles in the direction of Swanton,
but that suspicion does not rest upon any
person in particular.
As a matter of course this led to retail.
ation, and on the following night two barns
were burned on this side, one which. we
believe, was owned by J. Barr, of High.
gate. Two companies of the Highgate
militia were under arms on Monday, and
a gentleman who came through on Tees
day informed us that excitement was at
its highest pitch.
We further learn that the incendiaries
on this side were in one instance recomi
ze.l as belonging to the volunteers. ney
were fired upon, and returned the shot,
but without any effect on either side. A
messenger has gone to .Shoreman to re
present matter to Governor Jenison.
We hope his Excellency will adopt
prompt and efficient measures to bring to
justice every individual concerned in
these attrocious deeds, whether citizens
or refugees.

FROM TEXAS.
By a late arrival we have received
Houston papers to the 9;1 inst, inclusive.
They, however, contain little that is novel
I or interestitig.
IA new daily paper is to be issued in
Houston, to be called the Evening Star,
and to be devoted to Commerce agricul
ture, &c. It is to be edited by rolin %V.
Eldridge, of whose abilities the Telegraph
speaks highly.
The. Telegraph contains a violent phil
lipic against the government, for author
izing the steam vessel Zivala, now run
ning as a packet between New Orleans
and Galveston, to charge $6O in Texas
promisary notes, as the price of passage
It seems that the other vessels only charge
$3O in specie, or current bank notes of
New Orleans; and the Congress of Texas
passed a law that these promisary notes
shall be received as cash for all dues to the
government, this regulation of the Zavala
is equivolent to a discrediting on the part
of the government of its own issues.
The Telegraph notices a fraud which
has been practised in Philadelphia, in sel
ling certificates of stock of the city of
Houston. It states that the Houston
company have not authorised any person
to sell stock in that city.

Extract from a private letter to a mer
chant in this city dated
Houston, (Texas) 7th April, 1839.
"Business has been dull for some weeks
until within a (lay or two back there has
been considerable trade, and I am in hopes
it will continue. Texas money is worth
about 50 per cent in small notes—large
amounts not to be had on as good terms,
The Mexican trade from the interior has
extended to this place. A drove of horses
(about 300) came in a few days ago from
the Rio Grande, and were offered for sale'
in this market at reduced prices. They
were accompanied by about 20 Mexicans,
who brought with them a quantity of silver
to trade with.
"We do not hear of any disturbances on
the frontier. All is quiet."

INFAMOUS OUTRAGE.
On yesterday morning, about 1 o'clock,
as some twenty young men, some of them
j
firemen, were peaceably reposing in the
2dlstory of the Manhaten House, in Duane'
street, between Elm and Broadway—their
dormitory was invaded by from 100 or 150
ruffian like fellows, who sprung upon them
in bed, stamped upon their faces, bodies,
and limbs, and beat and bruised them ter;
ribly. A portion of them fled in their night
clothes, half naked. One man was robbed
of 150 or 170 dollars. Another was chas
ed towards Broadway, knocked down and
robbed of his coat, which he had on his
arm; a third was thrown out of the win
dow, on the pavement in the back yard, a
height of 12 feet, and seriourly injured;
and fourteen in all the number, were
dreadfully beaten, and five of them con
!fined to their beds, one in particular, is
unable to be removed. After effecting
the diabolical purpose for which they came,
the rioters left, leaving the beds and walls
strewed with blood. Who these men
were, we know not, but it is said, that a
score or more of them are known, inclu
ding a person connected with the customs,
and willbe placed in the hands of the laws
for punishment.
The New York Express says.--" The
world have voted here, and what is more,
it has not been content with voteing.once,
but has voted over and over again. We
have never seen such ferocity and brutali
ty as has been displayed at the polls. The
scenes in the 7th Ward, have been shock
ing. At the close of the poi Is in the 7th
Ward, the loco focos rushed upon a large
posse of codstables and broke up their
stair; of office in a twinkling. In the 4th
IVaid, they have been desperate, and there
they attacked the Alderm in of the Ward
withgreat animosity. In the 6th ward,7our
reporter describes a brutal piece of cruelty
The city has been full of outrages. In the
7th Ward, many peaceable W hig voters
have been deterred from voting by the
violent menaces of men about the polls.
In every contested ward an effort has been
made to keep off the whig voters. Bullies,
blacklegs, and blaguards have been hired
and paid - profusely, and they have earned
their money. Such a victory thus won is
no election at all. As the Star remarked
before the result was known: 'lt is a com
plete overthrow of our civil institutions.
Quarreling and fighting at the polls—
challenging voters—naturalizing, and all
the appliances of a severe canvass may
find some apology; but a plot to:prevent'
freemen from voting al all, is a new and
recent feature adopted, which changes the
whole face of things.
WHAT IS LOCO FOCOISM
The National Intelligencer in the course
of some remarks on the late decision of
the Supreme Court of the United States,
on the great appeal cases from Alabama,
touching the rights and duties of corpora
tions, forcibly describes Loco Focoism to
comprehend "the levelling or pulling-down
principle, which professes to contend only
against artificle or unjust distinctions a
mong men, but ends in openly making war
against all the laws and established usages
of society, as being so many unnatural and
unbearable restraints upon the freedom
and equality which common rights of all
the human race."
Following upthese remarks, the Intel
ligencer traces the spirit . of Loco Focoism
from the days of Jack Cade to the present
time, and in the character of that distin
guished forerunner of the loco feces of the
present (lay, points out the consistency
in his principles and those which are bold
ly avowed now by men in high places.
"Loco focoism, continues the Intelligen
cer, is not always, however. ragged and
runegate, as in the personification of it in
the character of Jack Cade,
"In Cu' day, we often meet with it in 1 1
silks and broadcloths; and we have even
heard of its being seen in robes of ermine.
It is, in tru th, of no particular rank or sta
tion. Wherever human passions or human
frailties reside or can penetrate, there we'
shall find it. Yesterday, it was busy in
intimidating and overawing the establish
ed Government at Harrisburg; the day
before it was in the midst of a mub sack
flour store in New York city; and the
latest and most alarming exhibition of it
wasin ; the attempt, under color of judicial
power, toannul theobligation of contracts.,
In all these causes it - is still the same
spirit of misrule. We discover in
it the same enmity to the established or
der of things, the same disposition to set
the poor against tha rich— tae idle against
the industrious- —the unruly against the
laws arid law-makers—and finally the
State Governments against the Govern
ment of the Union, the great regulator,
protector and preserver of the liberties of
this People.
"We rejoice to see that a spirit thus
hostile to every ida of civilization, i eligion
and well regulated government, has been
so signally rebuked in its first attempt to
wrest the judicial authority to its aid.—
The cheering conviction that has been
thereby strengthened in the midst of those
who know how to value the conservative
principle in government, that there is in
our political system one barrier which
power cannot break down, nor party under
mine. This decission, following that on
the Mandamus case at the pretending term
of the Court, has given increase confidence
to the lovers of our glorious institutions,
and doubled the security of the tenure by
which every individual in the community
holds his life, his liberty and his pi oper
ty."—Ball. Pat.

Thaddeus Stevens, Esq.
We cannot let the present occasion pass
without devoting a small shame of our co
lumns to the distinguished individual
whose name furnishes a head to this arti
cle.
The whole of his energies for a number
of years have been devoted to the wel
fare of our State. Notwithstanding
which, he has been the subject of uncea
sing abuse of the pensioned and corrupt,
who oppose him in party politics; and
when the names of his abusers shall rest
in dumb forgetfulness, or remembered on
ly for their iniquities, his name will be
green in the remembrance of every lover
of equal education; and an extensive as
well as a useful system of public improve
ment.
We are led to these remarks because
we have felt the absence of his giant
mind from the Hall of Legislation, at the
last session. Nor can we forgo the pre
sent opportunity, to call on Mr. Stevens,
by the love he bears our State—by the
devotion he has always shown to the de
sires of the people--by his love of order
and hatred of disorder, to go in at the ex-
tra session. Illegal, unconstitutional,'
and revolutionary as its character is, his
services are needed there. He should be
there to watch the wary movements of
the foe. Unless guarded and frightened
by the powerful and tearless voice of
some, whose echo shall reach the utmost
confines ut the State, this extra session
will be n grand carnival of Locos; shou- ,
ting, yelling, and trampling Upon the last
impala of the constitution. Every De-I

will be merged in the ultra radical notions
of that great "Venus of Democracy"—

censure his conduct thus far; they look
upon it right not to wink at the sins of Ins
opponents, but when presence becomes
necessary to protect the welfare of the
people, from the insiduous attacks of par

lay by their personal feelings, and lend
their aid to secure the interest of the

The Public Ifbrks.
There is nothing we more regret than
the fact that the State Improvements, are
in a most wretched condition, never since
the canal banks have become solid, has
there been such a continued series of
breaks in its banks, as there has since the
commencement of this season. There is
hardly a week or even a day passes over
without some breaking of the banks which
detains 'the boats more or less. Who , t
can be the cause of this/ Is it not the inca
pacity or inattention of the new officers.
If they attended to their business, the leaks:
would be discovered before they became.
heroics. Notwithstanding they have seven
Supervisors on the same distance that was
formerly under four. Though they have
nearly double the number of mud bosses
and among that number is the all power
ful and matchless job, brought all the way
from Ohio, still they cannot get along
without numberless breaks on the line. 4,
By way, however, of showing the prop
er estimation to put on the written
ion of even the Gcvernor himself relative to
that part of the canal;which was destroyed,
and reluilt under Ilitner.we will just state
that there has not been one break (although
the work is yet new and unsettled) vn
t hat part of the canal. Does not that
give the plainest contradictiou to Gov.
Porters story of having examined the
work; and it was most wretchedly incom
plete,
There i; no one who would more cheer
fully give the officers credit, if they de
-1 served any. For the honor of our works.
For the interest of Our commonwealth,
we should rejoice in being able to say,
every thing was done in time, and - well
done. But we cannot tamely submit to
see them permitted to all go to ruin, to
escape the curses of partizan dupes. One
word more to the lock keepers. The Juni
ata division is not a tide wafer canal. The
levels should be kept at all times at an
equal height, and not allowed to rise and
touch more often and almost as much
if not quite as regular as tide water. This
is good advice? please remember it; and
should you forget it we would think the
Supervisor should tell you to attend better
to your levels or else quit the locks.
"Is he houentr,
This is the old Democratic ometer by
which the fitness of men, for offices of
responsibility were tried. Not many
months since, we tried to direct the pub
lic mind to the importance of having hon
est rulers, if they wished those rulers to
select men to Ell the offices in their gift,
with men, in any way qualihed, or deser
ving. We then said that knaves and
fools would form the coterie around the
"GREAT EXPOSED," if Fate dr For
tune should lavor his success. Fraud, .
and the most consummate villiany tri- .
umphed; and now the truth of our asser
tions is clearly exemplified. Gamblers,
rowdies,'drunkards and thieves, seek and
obtain countenance and preferment.—
There are some exceptions, some who we
really regret to see in such company. /
"A man is known by the company he
keeps," and we have no other reason to
suspect them, but seeing their associates.
It is an insult to every honest partisan .
of the new administration, to have ths
very dregs of society, raked up from their
native filth, and clothed with official robes,
to lord over their honest neighbors. Yet
such is the fact! and we said it would Its
so. But we were sneered at; abused, vii.
ified and contemned, because we proclai.
med a reign of villiany and knavery.
"Birds of a feather," is the commence
