for his statements. l'b ne word more in
answer to the remarks the gentleman made
this. morning and I shall leave it. The e
bullition which I have been commenting
upon, and which is as black and foul-mouth
ed. as. ever was ejected from any thing stand
ing on : two legs, Was published a few days
before the honorable - Senator from -New
York made his speech. He referred to it,
and stated a fact contained in it. I was
here in my seat and heard it and arose,
and told the honorable Senator it was• an
utter falsehood. He knew I, denounced it
as an absolute calumny'. He saw on the
face of that statement that, if it was true, it
was utterly disgraceful to me. It was he
said, disgraceful to the country, and if it
was disgraceful to the country, it must be
so to me. I stated my denial of the truth
of that speech of Mr. Ingersoll in the strong-'
est terms—in the most emphatic language.
What then? The very nextday he proceed
ed to read that speech in the Senate; but it
was objected to, and was not read. But
next day, as he tells us, he sent his own
speech to press, and inserted this speech of
Ingersoll, knewitig I had pronounced it a
falsehood. Yes, miserable, calumnious,
and scandalous as it was, he snatched at it
and put it in his speech, and then -circula
ted it to the full extent of his ability. I
happened to go into the chamber one day
when the Senate was not in session, and
found our agents and messengers franking
and directing that speech to all parts of N.
York; and I do not doubt that enough of
it was sent by him to Broome county to
fill a barn, and pretty bad fodder it would
be. And now I beg to know if that is
friendly, candid, or just? Does any man ,
think he can stand up here with a proper
dignity of a 'senator of the United States,
and pursue such a "course? . He knew the
speech he quoted was calumnious. He
heard itpronouneed utterly false.
Mr. DICKINSON. Only one single point
in it was answered or denied by the Sena
tor. That was, that the,fee of the Attor
ney General was not pai by the govern
ment of the U. States. I referred 'to the
statements because I had a right to do it,
and thinking it was part of my duty.
Mr. WEBSTER. I do not say what a man
has a right to do—
, Mr. DICKINSON. As a matter of propri
ety then—
Mr. W,Enszert. Well, I say it was not
proper to 'do it. Suppose I had-- dragged
out of a ditch some calumny on the gentle
man which he denied, would it be proper
in me to persist in it after that denial?
"
Mr. DICKINSON. 1 1110 speech quoted was
documentary matter, and I had a right and
full liberty to lay*such before the country.
'Mr. WkesTEn. That is true of documen
tary history, butwhen did that speech be
come documentary history ?
Mr. DICKINSON. It was conidered so
by me, because it was printed and went to
the public from an official source.
• Mr. WEI3STER: - Indeed ! So anv false
hood, any vile calutnnY that is raked up;
no matter what it is, if printed, is docu
mentary history ! Mow, sir, I repeat a
gain,lhat ithas given de pain to be driven

Ur. Webster then proceeded to advert to :born,
. .
objections topartions" f the treaty, nixed by An
atora whose opinions sere entitled to regard, and
whom he respected. • iul after en able and most
triumphant vindication of the provh;lons relatirc
to the mutual surrender of fugitives from justice in
each country, and the establishment of a squadron
upon the coast' f Africa for the auppresSion of
the slave trade, he concluded as follows:
“Mr. Chairman, I am perfectly ready to
put it to the people of this country, if the
northeastern boundary question has not
been settled.honorably, fairly, and satisfac
torily- to the states concerned, and nine
tenths of the American people. I am ready
to put it to the people of this . country
whether, in the matter of the African squad
ron, a great difficulty has not been remov
ed, the immunity of our flag established,
and whether more has not . thus been done
towards the accomplishment of the object
than had ever been done before .by both
countries. Ahd in regard to the Creole
case, I put it to the gentleman and every
citizen of the country whether everything
intended to be. accomplished by 'corren)on
deuce and negotiation on that subject has
not been accomplised. And then I will
put• it to thecountry, finally, whether what
was done on that occasion—whether the
result of talent or fortune, (I claim no mer
it for talent,) has not been favorable to the
maratime rights of the United' States and
tb the civilized world—whether it is not
so regarded by all the civilized world,—
These arc the questions Which I wish, to
day, to put to the country, and every citi
zen of the country :7 .4 am willing to abide
by the reply.

The comments of the English press on
the refusal of the American Governnient
to.arbitrate on. the Oregon question look
warlike. -
The Revolutionary movement in Poland
had P. pread extensively, and a Government

Sir ROBERT PEEL, in answer to a -.ques
tion from Mr, O'CONNELL, said that' every
thing had and would be done by the Gov

that in the course the Government had a

prietors of land and moneyed gentry of
Ireland. If the resolutions that went
through committee on Friday were adopt

Ireland.
FROM TILE LONDON STANDARD, MARCH 10
The Paris papers continue to be chiefly
occupied with the Polish insurrection, but
the rumors they contain on the subject are
the most vague and unsatisfactory char
acter.
The insurgents are said to .amount to
forty thousand men. The Journal des
Debals publishes a history Of the rebellion,
from which it appears that it has extended
to the Russian army, and that it would not
have broken out at the present momenthad
not the numerous chances of detection ren
dered delay impossible.
The provisional Government of Cracow
were acting with vigor, and up to the latest
authentic accounts no atempt had been
made by Gen. Collin to attack the city.—
It was, however, reported in Paris on Sun
day that the Russians had assaulted Cra
cow, reduced half of it to ashes, and driven
out the Poles, who, in their retreat, encoun
tered a large body of Austrians and de
feated them.
"• The Prussian Government; notwith
standing the sympathy openly avowed for
the insurgents in Polish Prussia, appears
to be disposed to remain neutral in the mat
ter.
In the Chamber of Deputies, on Satur
day, Mr. Guizot is said, when questioned
as to the extent of the insurrection, to have
replied; ~L Allei. n agne toute entiere est en
feu," ("all Germany is on lire!") and a
report is eagerly noticed in the Paris pa
pers of Sunday that the state of Lombar
dy. is far from satisfitctory. The Polish
refugees in France were divided into two
parties, but have laid aside their differences
for the purpose of co-operating against the
common enemy.
An address was presented to Prince Ad
am Czartoryski expressive of the unani
mous desire of his countrymen to place
themselves under his direction. The op
position journals of Paria — have already o
pened in aid of the Polish cause.

The Winter Session of Pennsylvania" C'ollege
closed on Wednesday evening last, after a very sat
isfactory public, examination of the young gentle
men connected with the variousClasses;on Mon
day Tuesday, and Wednesday. We arc gratified
to learn that the prospects of the Institution were
never more !tattering than at present—the Roll
during the Session which has just closed having
registered a,larger number of students in actual
attendance than at any previous period.. Nor is
this evidence to be read alone in the unusual pat
ronage i 'the active and enterprising spirit which
has been for some time developing itself among
the members of the Institution, in the continued
publication of a regular monthly scientific Jour
nal, the improvement of the grounds attached to
the building, and the erection of a large and health
ful Hall for Linmuan purposes - -indicates with e
qual clearness, that the "skies are bright."
With a view of relieving the Principal of the
Peparatory Department of a portion of the haw
riuus duties hitherto devolved upon him, and in
creasing with every additional accession of pupils,
the Board of Trustees have authorized an appro
priation for the employment of an additional Tu.
tor for that Department.
We need not say a single word commendatory of
the claims of Pennsylvania College as a school of
learning. Gradually, and without the aid of
the too common pulling appliances of the day, it
has risen to command an honorable place among
the very best Institutions of the country, and now
enjoys a reputation commensurate with its mer
its. We had intended ) however, saying a few
words in regard to the peculiar claims of the Pre
paratory Department to a more general patronage
from the citizens of our immediate neighborhood,
but have been prevented by the press of matter
upon to days columns. We shall refer to the
matter hereafter:
Literary Contest.
On Wednesday evening the annual Literary
Contest between the Philomatlmun and Phreno
kosmian Societies of Pennsylvania College, came
off in the English Lutheran Church. As usual
upon such occasion; the houSe was thronged at
an early hour, with a gay and brilliant audience,
who had assembled to witness the interesting ex
ercises. Essays were read by J. WILSON PAXTON,
of Gettysburg, Pa., on the part of the Philoina
thman Society, with "Pompeii" as his theme, and
by G. J. MmtTz, of Frederick county, Md., in be
half of the Plirenakosmian Society, on "The De
sign of ClTailoli." The Orations were by A. Es
filCK, (Philo.) of Franklin county, "The Dcisirc of
Rcputatioa," and by Wx. (Phreno.)
of Littlestown, "The Unknown God." A discOs
sion of the question whether "the Signs of the
Times indicate a Dissolution of the Union," fol
owed--E .M.tassikr.r. ( Philo.) of
MoCksville ) N. C., supporting the affirmative, and
C. A. BROUGIIEU, (Pbrena.) of Tippah county,
Miss., the negative.
Our limited sPa t ce this morning precludes a de
tailed notice of the exercises. The perforrhances
\vete all highly creitable, and seemed to give en
tire satisfaction to the auditors. The beit tribute
to the ability witli Which . each successive diSpu
tent perfOrtned his. part, Was furnished by the
deep interest which attached to the exercises
throughout, although to a late hour.—
We do not recollect of any similar occasion, on
which the interest was bettor sustained or more

feeling,7 "blue-light Federalism," fe.c. preferred by
Mr. Ingersoll and his friends against Mr. NV E •
STER and other membeks of the Whig party•—
;Messrs. MILLIARD, of Alabama, WINTHROP of
of Boston, and Dr xoN of Connecticut, stood man.
fully up to the defence of Mr. Webster, against
the aspersions of his enemies, and indignantly
charged home upon them the very offences sought
to be fastened on the gifted defender of the Con
stiution. The speech of Mr. Winthrop is'spoken
of as one of the most brilliant specimens of lofty
and indignant eloquence, ever listened to in the
House, and one which for the time completely
electrified his auditors. Mr. Dixon, in replying to
the charge of "blue : lights," remarked that i f "forced
to prosecute the inquiry, he should be able to ex
hibit to their •gaze, among, members of their own
party„blue-lights of a brighter dye, of a much deep
er azure, than any in the ranks of the Whigs."
Alter sundry delicate allusions to the Federalism
of Mr. Buchanan and other high-priests of modern
LocolocoisM, upon being interrupted by C. J. Is
cznsor.r., Mr. D. promptly inquired of Charley
whether he had not said that "he would hare been
a Tory had hr tired in the days of the American
Revolution! Mr. Ingersoll replied that he HAD
SAID SO. This, then settles the matter. Hence.

Daniel Webster, Chairman of the Committee on
Foreign Relations, and the Magnus Apollo of,Lo

confession, and must be _known as would-be Tory
Ingersoll ! What say the Democracy to such a
leader ?
The Oregon;
By a resolution of the Senate the Oregon dis
cussion was to have been closed in that body yes
terday. On Monday last, a message was_ re
ceiVeil from the President, in reply to Mr. bay
ton's resolution asking for information regarding
the state of the Oregon negotiation. The Presi
dent states shat no correspondence in relation to
the Oregon Territory has taken place between
the authorities of the United States and those of
Great Britain since the date of the last documents
on the subject transmitted, to Congress.
- Mr. Webster, remarking upon the message, said
that it did not by any means exchide the idea of a
correspondence between the Department of State
here and the American Minister in London. V It
seemed to be generally understood, he said, that
there were letters from Mr. McLane, but they
were not included in the terms of the call.
Mr. Ilocsirox, of Texas, addressed the Sen
ate on Wednesday in favor of giving the Notice,
but'deprecated war. It was thouglit Mr. Critten
den would conclude - the debate.
The House of Representatives have once more
got upon the "Oregon question in the way of a bill
providing for the protection of American settlers
in the disPuted territory. On Monday the floor
was secured by Mr. Adams, who addressed the
House in continuation of the argument commenc.
led in his former speech upon the same subject.
He maintained our right to the whole territory,
and went to the Bible in search of the earliest title.
llis remarks were cut short by the Speaker's
hammer announcing the expiration of the hour.
The debate upon the Bill was to have been clo
sed at 2 o'clock to-day.
The Tariff Bill.
In the House on Tuesday last, Mr. M'Kay, from
the Committee on Ways and Means, reported the
long expected bill reducing the duties on imports,
and for other purposes—the "Tara bill."
Mr. Stewart moved the, rejection of the
After considerable tumult the motion was rejected
by a great majoority. The bill was then read
twice and referred ton committee of the whole.
Mr. McKay gave notice that he will move to
fix on a day on which the bill shall be made the
special order.
Tli Bill, if adopted by Congress, will prove fa
tal to the manufacturing interests. Tho duties
imposed are ad valorem and range from 30 down
to 5 per cent! The Bill provides that if in any year
it shall not yield a revenue sufficient for the ordi
nary wants of the Government, the President shall
have authority to a lay a duty of TEN PER CENT
on TEA and COFFEE, and announce the fact by
proclamation ! •
The National Fair.
We are gratified to see that the proposition for
holding an exhibition of the products of American
skill in the manufacturing and mechanical arts,
at the metropolis of the nation, is receiving a cor
dial response from the manufacturers and artizans
throughout the country. It is thought the exhi
bition will exceed any thing of the kind hitherto
attempted in the U. States. The National Intel
ligencer states that 'on the City Hall Square, in
Washington, there is now in the course of erec
tion,_on which a multitude of workmen are
employed, a building five hundred feet long by

charges against Mr. Webster in the House of Rep
resentatives, a few day after the terrible castiga-i

unauthorized use of Mr. Adams' name, brought the
old man to his feet. After keeping . the would-be
tory Representative upon the rack for some time,
the deliate wound up with the folloWing decidedly
."rich" conclusion
Mr. Ingersoll: . Will the gentleman allow
me to ask him a question^?

The Right of Way.
ItC*The Bill granting the Right of Way
to the Baltimore and Ohio Rail-road Com
pany is still pending in the House of Rep
resentatives. The debate has been warm
and animated, and the passage of the mea
sure disputed at every step. On the 9th
inst. the amendment offered by Mr. Kun
kel, providing that in case three millions
should be subscribed by the Central Rail
road company, ten per cent. paid in, and
thirty . thiles put under contract by the 30th
July, 1847, the act to be null'and void, was
adopted—yeas 50, nays 43 ; Mr. Brough

was, of course, designed to "kill" the mea

sequently adopted, requiring 30 per cent.
of the $3,000,000 to be
At last accounts an amendment was
pending requiring the Company, in case
the road shall ever be made, to pay a tax
of four mills per mile into the Treasury of
Pennsylvania, on even• ton of freight pass
ed.over the road in Pennsylvania. The
friends of _the bill resist this tax, and
a motion was Made to reduce it to three
mills: This motien has been underdiscus

Monday the debate was very warm, and
assumed quite a liersonal tone.
The proceedings of the great Western
Convention, which had been held in Alle
gheny on the Bth inst, had just been receiv
ed and presented to the House. The Res
olutions are drawn up in strong language,
and bitterly denounce the Philadelphians
for their opposition to the Bill., They
even threaten - revolution, in case their. fa
vorite project is defeated by the Legisla
ture, and propose to .get the_grant of the..
owners of the land, and then invite the Bal
timore company to g-i) on and make the
road in defiance of the Legislature, and
pledge them to stand by the work at any_
expense of . blood and treasure ! The
Convention was very large, numbering
several thousand,' and was addressed by a
number of the ablest men in the Western
part of the State. Upon the presentation
of the proceedings in the house, they were
fully endorsed by Messrs. Edie, Bracken
ridge, and other .friends of the Right of
Way. '
The Harrisburg Telegraph of yesterday
says that the Bill will possibly' be finally
disposed of in the House in h day or two.

The Subtreasury.
Tr The National liitelligeni!er, in an article up
on the passage of the Subtreasury Bill through the
1-louse, thus sums up the prominent objections to
the measure
1. Its pernicious influence upon the cur
rency of the country. In the language used
by the present official editor in 1837, it will
establish "two sorts of currency—the bet
ter for the officers of Government, the ba
ser one for the people."
.2. Its incalculable expense.
3. The increase of Executive patronage
Which it must of necessity bring with it.
4. The diminished security of the Gov
ernment deposites.
5. The inconvenience and loss of time it
must occasion in the transaction of public
business.
Lastly. Its disastrous operation upon
the laboring classes, in reducing the price
of'labor to the hard money standard.
To these objections, which were urged
by us in 1844 to this monstrous attempt to
revive the barbarous usages of antiquity,
we have never seen satisthetory
. ans*ers.
It is unnecessary for us to go. over again
the arguments by which they were estab
lished.
FATAL COLLIIIION IN lIIELAND WITH TUE
31tLITAll r.—One of the late foreign papers receiv
ed by the express clipper Wm. J. Romer, contains
the following announcement of a collision with
the military :
•"Blood has been shed in Mayo. The
election for a representatives to supply the
place of Mr. Mark Blake commenced on
Monday, and on Tuesday a party of the
eighth lluzzars were escorting a number
- of freeholders of Moore to the hustings ;
at a mile from Castlebar, a number of pea-"

Important from 'Mexico. --
Return of M. Slidell—Sdvance cl Gen.
'Taylor uponillatamoras—Engagement
with a par!!J' Mexicans and their Re
treat, Ake.
The lion. JOHN SLIDELL, Minister of the
U. States to the Republic of Mexico,' ar
rived at New Orleans on the 7th instant.—
The causer-which induced the return of this
gentleman was the refusal of the• Mexican
authorities to receive him as Envoy Extra
ordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary from
this country, the Mexican Government be
ing willing only to recognize a Special -En
voy to treat of matters concerning -Texas.
It is said that great consternation pre
vailed at Vera Cruz in consequence of Mr.
SLIDELL'S departure, and the inhabitants
were in the deepest alarm lest an imme
diate declaration of war would ensue on
the part of the U. States. , .
The treatment received by Mr. Slidell
at Mexico and Jalapa was extremely cold,
but upon his arrival at Vera Cruz he was
received With a salute, waited upon by the
highest official dignitaries of the place, and
again saluted when the Mississippi left.
The Army of occupation, under Gen.
Tavlor, numbering in all 3500 men, arrived
and encamped on the 28th ult. opposite,
Matamoras, almost simultaneously with
the arrival of the American fleet of trans-.
ports. On the appearance of the fleet the
captain of the port—Rodriguez—set tire to
the custom house and several other build-
Ings at - Point - Isabel, and made his retreat ;
good to the river, although 'pursued some
distance by order of Gen. Taylor. The
buildings destroyed were of little value, be
ing constructed of logs thatched with straw.
The only opposition of any consequence
he experienced.was at the Little Colorado
where a Mexican officer, with about 150
mounted men, threatened to lire upon him
if he attempted to cross the stream, statitig
that such were his positive . orders, and that
ItTe.cicans knew no fear. The artillery
was immediately ordered up, and the troops
formed and commenced fording in perfect
order, the water being nearly to their arm
pits, whereupon the gallant 'Mexican pru
dentiv retreated without executing his pos
itive orders. •
When near Point Isabel, a deputation of
about forty men waited upon him, bearing
a proclamation and message from Gen. Me
jia, filled with threats, in the usual style of
gasconade, to which the Mexicans are so
partial. At this moment the flames caus
ed by the burning of the eta= house were
discovered, and Gen. T. immediately dis
missed the deputation, directing them to
inform Gen. Mejia that he would reply to
his message opposite Matamoras, on Sat
urday,
the 28th ult.
LATER
An extra from the ollice'of the Picayune, dated
April 8, 2 I'. AL, announces the arrival of the
steamer New York, bringing two days later news
from Gem . Taylor's army.
Upon the arrival of-the ArMy of Occu
pation its front of Matamora,ATO Mexican
forces were drawn out on the opposite
bank of the river, making a great display
of martial music, with trumpets, bugles,
&c., which mode of salutation was duly
reciprocated in kind by a similar sounding
of trumpets and drums in the American
lines. Thus ended the first day's =coun
ter between the two armies on the oppo
site banks of the Rio Grande, and within
two or three huntr•ed yards of each other..
On the next morning, 29th•, the American
troops discovered the Mexican artillery of
eighteen pounders, lining the opposite
bititk, and pointing directly into their camp,
whereupon the Americanarmy moved their
encampment four miles below. This step
was doubtless taken by Gen. Taylor in or
der to avoid every appearance of any dis
position to commit aggressions upon the
west bank of the river, and to maintain
strictly the defensive character of his ope
rations.
The most reliable statements represent
the regular army in Matamoras to consist
of 2000 soldiers and 500 rancheros. - The
Mexican citizens of the Rio Grande are
said to be quite disaffected towards their
own government, and secretly friendly to
the American cause.
The News understands that Gen. Tay
lor's orders arc to cross the Rio Grande
and attack Matamoras; should he be tired
on from the town.
SANTA ANNA AND TUE MEXICANS.-r-•TIIC
Courier des Etats Unis, published in New
York, states that a new plan has been start
ed in Mexico. The various fraginents of
the Republican party have united in oppo
sition to Paredes and in favor of Santa An
na, provided he will pledge himself to a
faithful return to liberal opinions. Nego
e. ions, it is stated, have been opened to
this end, and it is intended, should they
prove successful, to recall Santa Anna, to
place him at the head of the new revolu
tion,. to overthrow Paredes and the Monar
chial party, and then to convoke the whole
people in Primary Assemblies, with the
object ofelecting a new Congress and a
new President, Santa Anna to renounce
his claim to the latter office.
A Washington correspondent of the
News says:—"lt is 'supposed that when
Mr. Ingersoll makes known his evidence
of Mr. Webster's assumed oilbnces, the
Senator from Massachusetts.will reply.—
So fur, he courts and defies investigation,
and is willing to receive what' Mr. Adams
characteriZed the proceedings yesterday in
the nouse, a trial by his enemies, aud
without a hearing:"
A. Washington letter to the New York
Telegraph says : "It is pretty well settled
that Mr. Polk will consent to be a candi
date for re-eleetion.. Ifso,'this will upset
the calculations of a good many aspirants,
who have been looking.cagerly to the suc
cession." '
The Wheat - crop throughout Georgia ; it
is said, never looked more promising than
at this time, and should the harvest prove
as .ahundant as is now anticipated, it: will
greatly relieve the wan of the people from
t hd present scarcity of grain.
A SAD CasE.—The New York True
Sun says that a few months since, a young
man•was• committed from the Brooklyn
criminal Court to the State' prison, to serve
out the term of two years hard labor at
Sing Sing. lie was placed in the stone
quarry, and one meriting during the past
week, a negro got access to the convict,
and informed him that his ,(the convict's)
father had died of a broken heart, owing to
the misconduct of his two sons, one of
whom was the man he was speaking to in
the State prison, and the other would short
ly be sent up there. This intelligence had
such an effect on the poor fellow, that when
he was locked up in his cell, he tore his
blanket into strips and hung himself. On
mustering the convicts for work the next
day, he was missing; and when the keeper
entered his cell he found him dead. The
intellige - nce brought by the negro was false.
The father' of the convict had not died of
grief, and his brother was a man of goof
character, and not liable to be sent to the
state prison •
Stiamem. OI'EATION .IN MESMERISM.—
On Friday afternoon last we witnessed a
portion of an operation performed by Dr.
Homer Bostwick, of 75 Chamber street,
upon a servant colored woman, (Emeline
! Brown, aged 83 years,) in the lhmily of
the Rev. Dr. Higbee. She had been
for a long time troubled with a tumour
under the left shoulder blatlq, and her phy
sician, Dr. 11., resolved at her, request to
test the pretentious of Mesmerism, in the
case. Messrs Oltz and Pike, Magnetizers,
were accordingly sent for, and stieceeded
inputting her asleep. Dr. Bost Wick pro
ceeded to make his incisions, and. in the
course of three minutes cut out the tumour
which weighed ten ounces; and then sew
ed up the incision. The patient did not
give the least sign of sensibility or life 4u
ring the operation, and when roused to
consciousness by the magnetizers, appear
ed to have no kowledge whatever of
what had been done. The patient de
clared that she was entirely unconscious
during the operation. -Among 'the-persons ,
presebt who witnessed the operation Were
1)r. John Stearns, Dr. Samuel H. Childs,
E. Parmly, Dr. SherwoodAc„and a num
ber of gentlemen connected with the press
of the city.—New York True Sun.
FATAL ACCIDENT.-A man named Geo-.
Douch, yvhilst engaged on Monday after
noon, says the Patriot, in blowing_ rocks
on the Falls road, llaltithore county, about
seven mires from this city, was killed by
an accidental explosion. His body was
blown probably thirty feet into the•air, and
sonic two hundred feet from the place - of
the blast, and most shockingly mangled.
What appeared most singular, was the fact
that the heart, owing to the powerful con
cussion, burst from the body, and was found
about twenty feet off in a sound condition.

ENCITEMENT Is PITTSIIIIII6.—The fol
lowing paragraph is froth a late number of
the. Pittsburg American; relative to the
right of way bill now under discussion be
fore the Legislature of Pennsylvania :—"lf
the courts can grant the right of way for
one kind of a road, they can for another,
and releases can be had throughout the,
whole route. The road can be thus made
and secured to the makers, despite the des
pitiable dog-in-the-manger course of Phila
delphia usurers, thieves, babbling bullies
and robbers. They will also be relieved
from any obligation to permit their road to
be tapped, and altogether clear of tax on
their freight and passengers."
THE WHEAT CROP.—We continue to
receive encouraging reports, says the Chi
cago Journal, in regard to the wheat crop
thoughout Illinois. It not only looks bet
ter but a much larger crop has been sown
han in any previous year. The accounts
from the Northern section of the State, as
also f•om Wisconsin, arc equally favora
ble. The wheat crop throughout Georgia,
it is said, limier looked more promising
than at this time, and should the harvest
prove as abundant as is now anticipated,
it will greatly relieve the wants of the peo
ple from the present scarcity of grain.
Cnors IN VIRGINIA.—We have had a
fine opportunity, says the Martinsburg ( Va.)

prospect fur a full crop at this season of
the year.
