The Main Line.
The Harrisburg Repdrter, Gov. Shunk's organ,
is calling upon the State to carry the passengers
upon the Main Line, and the editor alleges, with
great apparent seriousness, that a vast amount of
money would be thereby saved to the Common
svcsith. No figures, however, are given to prove
this reiult.
Now, wo put it to the editor of the Reporter,
whether All the experience we huvo had upon this
subject, doe; not prove the very reverse of what he
asserts? Did not the State at one time put the!r
own care upon the Columbia Pailroad ? and did
not the Commonweolth lose money by the opera-
tion, compared with wiot they now receive from
the company running care upon that portion of the
Main Line? We think that if the figures are cor
rectly given, they will show this
We do not like to impugn the motives or the gen

to us that the great anxiety in this matter, i., mere
ly to secure a few more places fur the hungry rank

In regard to the afatethent made by the Reporter,
that the company now carrying the passengers re
alize $20,000 per .anon, nut of an investment of
530,000, we can only say that we iktiuld much pre.:

do know that so far as regards the Columbia rail
read, the toll paid by the company Olt through pas-
Sengers,is hrligher on each individual than the fore

upon the balance of the route ; on which, we have

Correspoudence of tho Zuntingdon
Journal:
Ittuarsavno, Feb. 21, 1846.
My Dear Captain—l have to inform ism that
the new County of "Blair" has at length been paw l
ed in both Houses. It passed the Senate by aON
of 20 to 11. The Bill as passed embraces the
came boundaries as contained in, the 13111 of last
Session, which taken less territory from the county
of Huntingdon than the Bill no it pasted the House
a the present session would have done. Tha l
amendment was tirade in Senate through the exer
tions of Mr. Morrison, and when the hill wan 're
turned this morning to the House the same was
concurred in. Prior to which, however, a motion
Was made by Mr. Burns to refer the question of
erecting cold new county, to n vote of the people of
Huntingdon and Bedford countiee; but it was lost
by a very large vote, Yeas 13, Nays 65. The bill
therefore only waits - the signature of the Governor
to become a law.
The Palt. & Ohio Railroad P:I, after being de
bated daily in the Senate Until Therday last, was
lost by a majority of ono vote, on secdnd reading of
the first section—the yeas being 15, the'raye 16--
Messrs. Sterrigete and Wagonseller being lament.
But a monster Of the size of this, does nut die by a
single kick, and accordingly, as was expeCted, a
motion woo made next day by Messrs. 'Quay knd
Dimmick to reconsider the vote, which motion on
yesterday was agreed to by a vote of 19 to 10. So
the subject is again ready to be voted upon in the
Senate, and it is expected to pass; but all who voted
for the reconsideration are not expected to vote for
the bill—enough, however, to carry it will probably
do so.
The bill granting to the New York and Erie
Railroad Company the right of way through Pike
county, in this State, passed final reading in the
House on Thursday last, by a vote of 61 to 90. It
has not come op in Senate yet.
The Bill to incorporate the Pennsylvania (Cen
tral) Railroad Company, for the construction of
continuous Railroad front Harrisburg to Pitts
burg, passed Committee of the Whole in Senate
the past week, and second reading also, to the last
section, when the farther consideration of the same
was postponed (yesterday) and the bill as amend
ed in its progress through the Sedate, eras ordered
' so he printed.

amongst the members of the Legislature--but I
ant happy to say that a trap woo laid for him, in
which ho was handsomely caught before any harm
was done. On Tuesday last Cul. Victor E. Piollet, I
a lumber of the }louse of Representatives front the I
county of Bradford, presented s package containing
$4OO in money, accompanied by a verbal statement
of bow he came into possession of the same. The
substance of which was that he had been offiired
that amount by ono Daniel At'Cook as a

mince on Banks, with a view to forfeit tts charter
for alleged malpractme—Mr. Piollet beint a mem
ber of the Committee on Bankr. These facts be
ing stated, a committee of investigation, consisting
of Messrs. Knox, Gwin, Galloway, Trego, and
:Nicholson, was appointed, on motion of Mr. Bar
ri!, which concluded its labors yesterday, and made
report to the House this mern!ng.
A number of witness were examined, amongst
whom were Gen. Laporte of the Surveyor Getter
,' al's office. lion. Jesse Miller, Sect'ry. of the Com
monwealth, Mr, Goodrich, Clerk cf the Senate,
Messrs, Herrin, Piulett, Hilands, Hartholeinew,
Edie, and Pontroy; of the House of Represents-.

a number of others, as to the good chorea., of the
accused (MlCook,) all of whom represent him as

withal a great Anti-Bunk nun!
The testimony, which is voluminous, esttblishes
in short these facts, viz:—'That 114'Cook me agent
for the Lehigh County Bank, and being desirous
`of procuring a favorable report from the Qimmit
j tee on Hanks; found it necessary to gain user Mr.
Piollet, and fur this purpose he first attempted to
approach him through his personal and rolitical
friends—Gen. Laporte, Mr. Goodrich. and Mr. J.
H. Dim:Melt—WO was offered to Mr. L,for the
influence of his sun, and an indirect offer aria made
to the Gan. himself for his influence and efuvora
hie were also made 0 J. H.

tune of 5100. which proving abortive, Mr.ll'Cook
resolved to see Mr. Piollet, which he accirdingly
did. At thyroid interview he argued thekause of
the Bank, and !wide aomeappealea to Mr. Pullet, on
the score of party I, redilections, repreaentirg him
self arid Moses Y. Beri4h of the Lehigh County

Thirele some difference - of opinion an to the
propriety of the conduct of Mr. Piollet in this mat
,ter, _many saying that it would have bean more
'creditable to him to have repulsed the man at the ,
out get, and thus have shown his utter abhorrence
of the attempt. But on the other hand it is alleged
that he is entitled to great credit for his successful
attempt to - expose:tlio °Fender. There is some
talk moreover that M'Cook intende'to indict Piol
let, Burrill, and others for a conspiracy to seduce
him into the offering of the Money. the matter
is to undergo Judicild inveetigetitni, I will not nay
anything which would be likely to vrejndice the
case either way; bat I cOnnot help remarking the
fact that it is always Anti-Bonk men who are ap
proached in this way, whilst the Whigs who are wil
ling to give the Banks a reisonabte chance for their
lives. never hear of any thing butteaeon, applied to
away their judgments. There is more policy in
being an Anti-Hank than a Bank man.
The Tariff Reoolutione are sleeping (as good as
dead) in the House, the question being on concur
ring in the Senate amendment. to the House
amendments thereto. The Senate refused to in

For the "Journal."
The Exaniination at the Female
Seminary.
Ms. CLAnK—I did myself the pleasure of attend
ing, on Tu'esday the 17th inst., the public examina
tion of the pupils of the Female Seminary, located
in this borough, under the care of Miss Bowe.
Though highly gratified with the result of ell the
previous examinations, which it was my priiiilege
to attend, this one appeared to have outsuiped its
predeceieore, in nearly every particular Which
makes such a ammo interesting. The young ladies
were arrayed as neatly and tastefully, as if they
had decorated themselves to attend the bridal of a
fairy in the land of enchantment. Each one wore
aornething more than the every day ease and grace
fulneee; which made them appear as thotigh they
felt conscious that, for that day at least, they would
be the °observed of all observers." The whole
scene was decidedly pleasant to look upon; fur let
me tell Yeti there was beauty in that hall; together
with a large quantity of 'guileless end
.sparkling in
nocence. Deer little creatures—l felt sorry, while
beholding them, that sorne of them at least, were so
nearly ridding good•by to that time of life, when
all is gayety and happiness, to enter upon that one,
when joy alternates with sorreW.
But tea person, who levee td sap the immortal
mintf Sedtiering its treasures do all around it, en
riching theca with intellectUal bounties, drawn
from the golden stOrshousear;f the soul—the scene
was surpassingly interesting. Each ono answered
her respective questions, With that quickneis and
ease, n7hich evidenced an understanding of &sub
ject. Thera was an evident improvement since the
lest examination. Among the Mere subliminal
branches of a female education it appeared, that
with ionsideiable taste, they had been cultVrafing
the Rue arts. Several epecimens of painting, both
by copy end from naturel objects. around the tcniii,
executed by the ye'Ung ladies, were hanging along
the well, all of which were very neitly and beaUfi - -
fully done. There Wee also several mange, both
religious and sentimental, jn Which' the whole
school joined. In these the infantile minkled with
the more eonorous voices of those who aro just
verging into womanhood.
In this school, I was happy to find morel, social
and intellectual culture combined. The accom•
plisbed lady, who has charge of it, is unremitting
in her endeavors to store the minds of her pupils
with useful knowledge; end to teach them to love
God supremely and their neighbors as themselves.
In fact it is creditable to the intelligence of this
town, to be able to appreciate the qualifications of
such a teacher. If a stranger had witnessed this
examination, he must have come to the conclusion,
that she would be asafe person with whom to trust
the, mind and morals of his daughter.
The whole exhibition was so conducted, as to
leave a very pleasant impression on the mind of
the spectator. The course of instruction there gin.
enii well calcdleted to strengthen the mind, culti
vsta and &fine the heirt, and make Its receivers in.
