Bishop Potter.
'rho 'em Bishop of the Diocese of Pennsylv.xitia
visited this place on 'Thursday last, and consecrates:
the new Church in the morning and administmed
the rite of confirmation in the afternoon. His err

and, we trust, with profit to many of hie hearer..
In this his first appearance among our people ho

We had often heard hint spoken of as a men in
every way worthy of the high and responsible ela

as one endowed by nature with talents of a aupc

and deep study and experience—and as a christian
whose precepts have always been exemplified in
every station in Ida by his fervent piety. Conse

hopes of him; which, we ere glad to say, have not

4. OUZO—Ever True:
An election for members of the State Legislature
took place io Ohio contemporaneously with ours in
Pennsylvania last week. It resulted in a conspicu
ous Victory fur the Whigs; who have elected a
large majority of Repiesentatives—having gained
fire members since last year, when the House was
theirs, against 0 gain of one for the Locofocos.
Twelve Vl hig Senators and six Locofocos hold
over. That body, half elected annually, is also no
doubt Whig. Ohio is A State which has felt the
practical effect of Locofoco measures. That party
had the ascendency, for many years—destroyed the
Banks— ruined the Currency, and left the People
without a circulating medium. They called the
Whigs to their relief last year—(•the Whigs al
ways rise as the country sinks," soy the Locofo•
cos)—who re-organised the Banking'System, and
gave the People a sound, convertible Cturency.
The Locofocos this fall again raised the humbug,
hard•money cry; but the People were not to be
bamboozled again, and they hai•e given the Whigs
more help. Ohio has "done Letter." . .

The Tariff.
\VD direct the reader's attention to the following
letter. There can be no doubt but that its author
is the Hon. ANnitEw Sri.w.tar, a promtrt'nt
member of the late Congress. Mr. S. was ranked
among the ablest defenders of the Tariff in the
House; and this letter proves that the writer is able
to enlighten the public on the important question of
reducing the present Tariff of duties.

vuLitauli,
MR. CLARK—Sir: I had the pleasure of atteding
an Encampment of I'olunteeis" on last Wednes
day and Thursday, 22d and 23d inst., at Warriors
mark, in Huntingdon county, under the command
of Major A. Stephen. The tents of the Volunteera
and Officers were pitched upon a beautiful mound
or hill a little South of the village, overlooking the
entire country, and presenting to the eye a wag
nt prospect truly, of "Mountain and Valley"—
the rugged hills and highly cultivated farms—the
little town lay es it were at your feet, whence every
evolution of the military could be seen distinctly—
and ae
••llistance gives enchantment to the scene,"
the effect was imposing. And cast your eye when
you would upon the town, it would fall upon spec
tators, in crowds, in the streets. Tito weather was
deliciously tine—the nights clear and frosty—the
day soft and balmy—a more lovely season could
not have been selected tot such an occasion. Joy
inflated every bosom; the old and the young, the
robust and the invalid, the rich and tiro poor, from
many miles round, had gathered themselves togeth
er to see the
The encampment consisted (if I recollect right)
of tho "Watrioramark Fencibles," Capt. Lindley
Hoops, "Warriorsmark Cavalry," Capt. Andrew',
Adleman; Bald Eagle Light Infantry, Capt. John
Hunter; (This company had the sobriqtta of
..Wild Cats," and fro.n their elastic tread and fierce
bearing, seem well to deserve the name.) The
whole, as I have said, were under the command of
Major A. Stephens; B. F. Hazlett, Adjutant; John
Burket, Brigade Major; all splendidly equipped
and mounted appeared to be efficient officers.
Brigadier General S. Miles Green, in full dress,
with Major Burket, as Aid-de-camp, appeared in
the field on Thur,Alay morning, escorted by a troop ,
of Cavalry. As this was understood to lie the
great day of the "Encampment," the neighbor
hood scorned to have sent out its whole population.
Before forming the Battalion in order for review,
the gallantry of Capt. Hoops, of the ~W arriors,
mark Fenclbles, ' induced him to accompany a
superb Brass band, consisting of some seventeen
members, from Duncansville, to escort from the
village to the field a bevy, or rather a multitude of
Indies.—(By the way, this "Band" is worthy of
special notice. The memhera from the youth up,
are worthy gentlemanly fellows, full of fun, and
the music they make in equal to any I have heard

them, preceded by this fine band. playing "Jockey
to the Fair." They were arranged in front of the
tents; and immediately back of them, an a rear
guard, stood some four or five hundred men—all
spectators.
General Green then ordored the Hallelion to
prepare for a review. The review was passed
handsomely, in my opinion, but not to the satis
faction of the General. Ho pointed out several in
stances, in which proper etiquette had not been oh ,
served; and as the encampment was for the ex ,
press purpose of "improvement in military tactice,"
he enforced upon the officers and men the necessity
o c a t t ici attention to every military requisite. The
rev i ew w a s again passed; and, although not much
of a military man myself, I at onco caw the differ
ence. Tito Battalion was a;en put through some
motions by the General, after wit;eh ho addressed
them in a speech of some length, on the necessity
of rigid discipline, order, the exalted station and
post of a ..citizen soldier,' the responsibility resting
upon him, the fraternal feeling that ehould al
ways characterize him, &c.; and wound up by ha•
morously observing that, although they might not
be called to the borders of Texas or Mexico, or to
participate in any war, in which our country might
be involved, which he at all times deprecated, yet
there was that within their view, and almost reach,
that was sufficient to ntrvo any man, and make a
coward a soldier!—our fair country women! !
In the afternoon, the troops were reviewed again,
when the different companies were drilled by the
respective officers.
This was a small encampment, as to soldiers—

On Friday morning the usual coteluonieo of
"the morning parade," "striking tents," oceortlng
distant companies on their way horns, dec., took
place; when "Camp \\ sr/loran:lark" broke up, to
the regret, no doubt, of many a "Lad and Lassie."
It was really pleasant to see Stout, trim, athletic
young men, present themselves before the different
companies of their choice, and hear the Captain
call out, "Fellow soldier. Mr.- proposes

The Trade in Lucifer Matches.
It is wonderful to notice the immense progreea
that has been made in this trade within a few years.
A London paper informs us that eight years ago,
there were only 40 people engaged in the menu•
facture in that country, who made 120 gross per
week. Now there ere 25 masters in London who
make, on an average, 2,000 gross each week, or
50,000 groan in all. They employ 350 mon and
600 boys. In the Making of the bozee alone, there
are nearly 5,000 women and girls constantly em•
ployed: they consume 45,000 square feet of timber
to make this quantity: This is only the number
made by 25 makers. There are a great number et
other makers in London, and likewise in the pro-
Vince., as lingo], Manchester, Liverpool, Norwich,
Leeds, Newcastle, Plymouth, ■nd Weymouth,
who likewise manufacture great quantities, but the
exact quantity we have not been able to ascertain;
but it may be safely said that there are dove em•
ployed in Et:gland, in this branch 500 men, 1200
boys, 11,000 women and gills, using 90,000 square
feet of timber per week, and making weekly 106,-
000 grosa, or 14,400,000 box., or the enormous
quantity of 720,000,000 matches. the first thing
which strikee the inquiring mind is, where and
how is this immense quantity conaumedl though
the cOnsurriptlon la rapidly increasing, and the
manufacturers cannot make them fast enough.

Railroad from Zhimaelplua to Pitta =

The U. S. Gazette of the 21st inet
are happy to express a belief, that the opinion has
now gained extensively upon the people of the city
of Philadelphia, that there must be a direet railrbad
conamunication between this city and Pittsburgh.
Hitherto theta has been a quiet kind of assent giv
en to the proposition, a sort of dubious admission of
,mpornince, out not the prompt assertion war
the work must be done. There are several ways—
the
Sunbury and Erie Railroad, with a branch to
Pittsburg; the right of way granted to the Balti
more and Ohio Railroad, with the privilege of form
ing an attachment to connect with the southwest
ern terminus of the Cumberland Valley Railroad,
and thence by the Harrisburg, Lancaster, and the
Coltinabia Railroad, to Philadelphia. Another is to
connect much higher up, beyond Bedford; and an
other proposition is to extend a railroad from Har
risburg by the Juniata, a route having been discov
ered, it is said, which is practicable, without either
inclined planes or liinfiels, and at a coat which may
be supplied by capitalists and credit.
In conversation with many citizens since Friday .
• we have heard but one opinioh as to the propriety,
' perhaps it would be better to say necessity, of con
structing a road. The trade of our city, and, con.
seqUently, much of the prosperity of Pennsylvania
--the business of Pittsburg, and as vicinity, all are
greatly dependent upon this measure, and business
! men will have to look to it with earnestness."
