Was *lnterred in a becoming manner by all our
citizen.. The stores and shops were all closed,
and'. large attendance given to the ministrations
of the Sanctuary. This was highly commendable,
:evincing a cordial willingness on 'the part of our
citizens to conform cheerfully to the reasonable and
praiseworthy requests of those whom the people
hove selected to govern, and also a thankfulness for
the many blessings we have enjoyed during the past
year:
• Irireonneetion with' this subject, we would re
mirk, that from the pinching cold weather we have
experienced for the last four or five days, it is evi
dent that winter has fairly set in. A great many
eigns have been adduced by the weather-wise, evi
dencing an unusual severe winter—in none of
te , hiA, however, have, we much , faith ;- yet, if it
Should so tarn out, we hope those blessed with the
abundance of the good things of, this life will not
forget that the poor we hate always with us," and
that their wants should be attended to. The widow
anti the fatherless should not be permitted to suffer
in • country like ours. We have been singularly
blessed as a nation in the abundance of our harvests
and the profitable yield of all capital - invested in
.manufacturing and . other commendable pureuite.
Whilst the precincts of Europe have not been auf
ficient for the home consumption, we , have in this
highly Savored land of liberty enough, and to
spare—affording Immense shiptuents, and thereby
greatly enriching us both as a nation end as indi
viduals. We therefore hope that those who have
-been reaping this unmet golden harvest, will riot
forget the poor and the afilicted—ihuse in actual
want, and contribute a pnrtion of their unexpected
profite towards rendering them co.nfertable during
the present winter; cu that whilst one ?Onion of
the community are joyous and happy, the other
may not be offering, depressed and miserable.
There is no way in which surplue means can be
applied that will glee inure unaloyed pleasure; and
we make these suggestions nit well 'for the purpose
of pointing oat to the prosperous and wealthy y
rational, euro mane of enjoyment as for the benefit
of the poor and unfortnnate.
Railroad to Pittsburg.
We publish in to-day's paper an able article from
the Harrisburg Argus, on the subject
,of granting
the Right of Way to the Baltimore and Ohio It.l‘
taking strong grounds against that measure, and in
•favor of the rood from Harrisburg to Pittsburg.
The reasons adduced against granting this right of
way are strong, and such as we think should con
• vince every one with the proper Pennsylvania feel
ings, that the road connecting with our State rail
way should be first ceruqueted, before we allow a
foreign company to cross our lines and carry otT our
trade,
' ‘Vc see by the U. 8. Gazette, that the Phi:add
phians are cialting up to the importance of having ,
• railroad communication from d'hiladelphia to
Pittsbnrg. A committee was appointed, says the

project to bring the subject fully before the citizens,

The Right of Way.
Thole who advocate the right of way through
Pennsylvania, for the •Balitimore and Ohio Rail
road, generally acknowledge, that the extension of
this itatlrond to Pittsburg, will injure our atbte
works; but contend, that if the company are not al
lowed to construct the Road to Pittsburg, they will
reach the Ohio Meer, through Vi rginia i at Parkers
burg, and by.thia nicanado a mug' greeter injury
to the Pennsylvania-trade. In a former article we
have shown, that tho Virginia route would be. ao
eircuitous,so long, so expensive, and, would .pos
ertistich high grades, that it would never he made;
and if it were made, it could not successfully com
pete with our nate works, for heavy tonnage, rim
with a Continuous Railroad to Pittsburg, for light
goode or passengers.
But there is another retie= sty the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad will not be extended to Parkers
burg. THE STATE OF , YMCA:NIA WILL.
NEVER PERMIT. IT. The • Hon. Louie Mc-
Lane was . at Richmond during the whole of the
last session of the Virginia legislature, urging that
body to grant the company the right of way,*and
using as an argument, that if it was not granted, it
would be extent/recto Pittsburg; to the great injury
of the interests.and trade of the State of Virginia.
It is well known„ that double song which was sung
to the legislatures of both States, was well under
stood by bath, and the'project ofdivertlng the trade
from the State works of Pennsylvania, or from the
James River and Kenawha ImpieWernent in
gimp in the State of Maryland, entirely failed,
Penri;ylvania refused to pas. any bill at all,And
Virginia passed one, compelling the company to
make Wheeling, and pot, -Parkersburg a point, to
purchase the Winchester Railroad, and to relin
quish the Virginia subscription to the stork. This
route was deemed impracticable and the conditions
impossible, and the company, as was expected, re
fused to accept the law. •
The came arguments will probably be used be
fore the legislature, of, both. States, at the coming
cessions at Harrisburg and Richmond, and so far
so Virginia is concerned, :Ire„ prospect of succeee
may be judged of from the following commentary,
from the Richmond ‘Vhig; on an article which op*
peered, in favor of the project, in the New York,
Railroad Journal, asserting that the 'extension of
the lialtiortaTe and Oltio-road to Pittsburg, would
hasten both the Pennsylvania' and Virginia iin
provemente. , .
"Fine reasoning this! . /tour will it promote the
Pennsvltania Railroad from Philadelphia to Pitts
burg, now in agitation, for Baltimore to reach Pitts
burg first, by li . er Railroad, and tapping the Ohio
trade at that place, carry it to Baltimore? And.
how, pray, is it its promote the completion. of the
Railroad from James River to Guyandotto, that
Baltimore rCaching the Ohio first, at Parkersburg,
has tapped the trade of the River pt that Point, and
trained it off to Baltimore? More absurd and un
demonstrable Propositions werenever addressed to
the common acme of two great communities, and
they are so plaint!' so, that the. Railroad Advocate,'
does not bring
,forward one single argument, pious
ibleor implausible to sustain them. It contents
itself with the' mere assertion of theM, as if its au
thoritV'were emmah .411..ut argument, to over
throw the plainest deductions of rea s oning and the
force of self evident facts. .
"Virginia and Pennsylvania have heretofore re
fused t !10 duped by this reasoning and we have
no doubt will continue, to refuse.
"The just claim'. alluded to, (which however, in
no just claim at all,) has, already' been•granted by
Virginia, The Baltimore company hare the right
of way to the Ohio, at Wheeling. But reversing
the adage that , beggars have no right to be choori
ers,! and the other one, that you ',Meek! not look a
gift horny in the month,' she arrogantly 'tlaims the
right to select her own terniinue on the Ohio; not
Merely iliaregartlful of the interest of the Virginia
warke,hut with, the view to supplant them. We
hOpe it will never be submitted to."
Such are the views of the Richmond Whig, and
our readers may judge whether it is likely, that
this proud old Commonwealth, will ever grant the
right of way, frontany point on the Ohio abier be
' low NVheeling, for a Railroad through her borders,
designed to take the trade of the Great 'West di.
I wetly to Baltimore. Froth Richmond by' the route
lefthe James River and lhe Great Kenawba to
Guyandotte, a Railroad 'could be 'constructed
through the heart of Virgirild. The James River
I Improvement is now partly 'constructed and at
great expense. Her capitol and the capital of her
p,opleia already invested. The route is a nebte
one, conileciing her capital Lyn short and eoey
i.route ith the Ohio at a point, which can be rear!,
I ed at all seaeona•by steamboats, and which would
make Richmond a great commercial city, and bring
capital, enterprise and mechanical skill into this
! highly favored Commonwealth. Virginia' ill look
to her interests.
What then becomes of the argument, in favor of
allowing the company to construct its road to Pitts
burg, before one is constructed through the whole
length of l'ennsyivania! It falls to the ground.
11l ittiburg wants a Railroad, let her energies be
directed to ono 'of whiCh the State railways shall
form a part, and she will succecd.—Now Is the
time to concentrate AI the efforts of the Common
wealth; and the trade of the Great Nest will h 6
secured to Pittsbtirg and Philadelphia forever.—

Prison Business,
The State Prison or Penitentiary of Louisiana is
easily managed, it would eeem. Tim following
paragraph, from the New Orleans Times, allows
how :
"The Penitentiary at this place is leased for five
years, to sev . eral gentlemen front Kentucky. They
pay nothing to the State ; they take all the mate.
etti on hand from the State at a fair valuation, and,
retain the material 'they may have on hand, at. the
expiration of their lease. The State also loaned the
lessees $ tfi,ooo, at six per cent. interest, to enable
them to make a begiwting in the manufacture of
bagging and rope. It is understood the system
works well, and that it will be quite profitable to the
lessees. The moat profitable branch carried on is
the cotton factory, and it would be still more so, if
the factory were - enlarged sufficient to employ the j
entire force of the Penitentiary."

Loss of the S teamboat Reindeer
On Tuesday morning, the 11th inst., at 11
o'clock, as the steamboat Reindeer, Captain Pax
ton,. from Louisville to Nev.. 'Orleans, was rounding
to at Sweeny's wood pant, about 12 miles below
the mouth of Red River, She struck a snag, and in
few minutes afterwards sunk. The creed had a
mined freight of cotton, hemp, stock, &e. Tho
stock was principally saved, us were a few bales of
cotton stowed above deck. There were some sixty
or more cabin paseengers aboard, who all got off
rife. It is believed that noun dock passen
gers were lost. At sundown the boat lay with her
bow nearly on a level with the water; at the stern
the water was eeveral feet deep in the lace cab
in, She wan settling deeper every hour, and had
careened so much that it 'woe feared she would
turn bottom upwards during the night. The snag
upon which she swung was belovi the enrface; and
was supposed to be a cypress knee projecting at
right angles from the bank. It struck her about
20 feet from the stern: Tho Reindeer was a new
boat—this was her second trip. She "was built at
a cost of $19,000, and was insured foi $B,OOO.
The principal loss falls on the captain. The cabin
furniture waa mostly saved, sad the captain thought
that the engines might be got out.—The vessel is
a total wreck, and every thing beneath' the batches
it is eupposed will be lost. Before she went down
she was made fast near the shore by large hawsers.
Should these part, it was thought she would ca
reen and elide into deep water. The passengers of
the P.eintleer were taken off by the Rudolph and
S. M. White.,--5. 0. Picayune.

ui tlris county, create an intense excite•
merit, and astounded the community in
the midst of which they were committed.
Titey were shrouded in impenetrable mys
tery, and it was supposed that'%lrs. Bur
dick; the woman who was seized and car
ried into the swamp., and left with logs
upon her to die, would not recover,, fears
were entertained that the murders or, in
stigator's, or both, would not be brought to
punishment.
.But, contrary to expectations, Mrs. B.
partly recovered her physical energies,
though • her •reason remained unseated.
She was sent to the Lunatic Asylum at
Utica, and undee•the'treatment of the Su
.perintentleot,• Dr. Brigham, her mioil was
restored. ~We understand a few days
Since she returned to her friends in Green.
A thousand and one rumors reach us,
'hearing upon this matter, but we reject
all save a simple ltct, which comes well
'authenticated. ft sill he recollected that
•these outrages 'were believed to be inti•
mately connected
.with the disappearance
of Mrs. Bolt, something less than two
years since, who wns most undoubtedly
murdered, and that a motive, in this Coll
tiection, existed, which prompted the mur
der of Airs,' Burdick, supposed to 'he in
possession of knowledge. which would
eliminate somebody its thin author at' the
