The Contemplated Southern Convention.
The Legislature of South Carolina, a few
weeks ago, passed resolutions and forwarded them
to all the.slaveholding States, requesting the s p.
pointment of Commissioners to a Convention to
arrange for a division of the Union, on th e eceur7
ring of certain contingencies.
The Legislature of 'Mississippi has' responded
affirmatively. That of; Virginia regarded the
proposed measure as unconstitutional, and *d e
Mined action. In Maryland the proposition was
received with great disfavor. We have not seen
any statement of the action of the representatives
in other States, except in . Texas.' There, Goy.
Houston sent in the communication, accompanied
by a special message, strongly condemning the
proposed measure. The following resolutions
were then introduced in the Legislature, with a
probability of their, being,passed by a very strong
vote:
Section 1. Be it Resolved, by the Legislature of
the State of Texas, that we do not concur in the
opinion with the Legislature of South Carolina,
that any snob alarming exigency exists in our
national affairs, as to justify the revolutionary
notion recommended by them to their sister slave
holding States; nor do we assent to the doctrine
of secession, by one or more States, from our
national confederacy, as a constitutional right.
&saved, That this Legislature is firmly at•
blotted to the Union of these States, in order to
participate in the glory and prosper ity of which
Texas surrendered her national existence, and
that we go for it as one and indivisible, now and
forever, as our Revolutionary fathers framed it.
Resolved. That this Legislature beholds, in the
proposed secession of the Southern elaveholding
States, or any one of them, from their sister
States—as in the dissolution of oar' glorious
Union—no remedy for any alleged .evils, real or
imaginary, but a great aggravation of them all,
and contemplate that deplorable event as the par
ent of other calamities, far transcending in
magnitude and fatal consequences any now pend•
ing over us.
Resolved, That, as far as depends upon us,
we will stand by, support, and uphold the Union
against all attacks, from without or within, and
against all ultraisms,whether at the North or the
South.
Resolved, Therefore, that we respectfully, but
most emphatically, decline to participate In, or in
any way sanction the proposed meeting of the
slaveholding States, for the purposes indicated by
the Legislature of South Carolina.
Resolved, That his Excellency the Governor be
requested to communicate this preamble and res •
olutions to each of our sister States, with the
expression of our earnest hope that they will all
unite with us, in cultivating brotherly feeling,
observing justice, and obeying the Constitution
and laws of the Waited States.
Disunion movements aro evidently unoonstitu•
Clonal, and tend to treason. The indications are,
that they ere growing into disfavor throughout
the land; and the day may come, when, to be
engaged in a Southern Convention, for such a
purpose, will blast a man's reputation as effectu
ally, in the political world, as did a participation
in the celebrated Hartford Convention, some
forty or fifty years ago.
Pennsylvania Railroad.
The annual meeting of the Company was held
at Philadelphia on the 6th inst. The Thirteenth
Annual Report shows the road and its business
to be in a very prosperous condition. The road
was among the most difficult of construction, but
it has been managed with a wisdom and energy
which make it the most safe, pleasant, and
profitable of all the greatly extended roads.in our
country. The road has been kept In good re.
pair, with advancing improvement, and the regular
semiannual dividend of three per cent. made,
and a sinking fund. A double traok is now
laid throughout, except on sixteen and n 'half
miles from Lookport to .TohnstoWn, ittil:fifty.;five
and nine.tenth miles, betweeiSarree and Har
risburg. , •
The receipts ,of the road for the „year were
$6,862,865 ; the expenses were $8,18Q,788 . net
earnings $2,281,617. The earning of the •Canals
owned by the Company were $197,649; *nelson
,
sea, $175,462; net earnings, $22,697. , ,
The earnings show an increase of $177,02463,
as compared with 1858. The earnings for the
first-class passengers show an increase of $63,-
855.99, while the earnings from emigrant busi
ness show a decrease of $24,681.71, leaving as
an increase of passenger business, $48,674.28.
The increase has been mainly from local travel.
The increase of travel has been large between
Harrisburg and Philadelphia, in spite of the
competition with the Reading Railroad and its
Lebanon Valley Branch. The entire number
of passengers transported during the year, was
one million four hundred and fifty nine thousand
one hundred and ten. Not a single life has been
lost of the immense number of passengers
carried,
The freight earnings of the year amounted to
$119,904.84, more than wee derived from"this
source in 1868. The increase is mainly. local.
This Company has now the control ofu the
Cumberland Valley Railroad, which is rendered
profitable.
The canal has been 'kept in repair, and the
Eastern portion of it deepened. Its debts and
credits show a small balance in its favor.
A new Passenger Station is to be erected at
Pittsburgh, and one at. Lancaster, and a Ware
house at Johnstown. A very large Work shop is
to be erected, without delay, at Harrisburg, which
will employ some thousand persons.
Bank Notes
Almost the only currency we fiud now, in Pitts
burgh, is Missouri bank notes. The constitution
of Missouri limits the number of banks to ten in
the State. Legislators have interpreted this to
mean ten "parent" banks, end they have author
ised those parent banks to establish some thirty
or forty branches. These branches, many of
them, are in retired parts of the State, where
they are difficult of access, in order to demand
specie. The parent banks make a large portion of
their notes payable st these branches. A result
is, that the branch notes are at a heavy discount,
even In St. Louis; and not being readily convert
ible into gold, they are sent off as currency. Of
the soundness of the banks we cannot speak.
We take the notes, when we can get nothing bet
ter, but we dispose of them very quickly. It
would be a great relief to have them substituted
by something which could be turned into cash
with facility, or be used to pay debts without thp
suffering of heavy discount% It is the scarcity '
of money which enables those who gain by theim,
to keep them in circulation.
Western Pennsylvania Hospital.
The report for the past year, shows that since
April let, 1856, three hundred and thirty-two pa
tients have been admitted; two hundred and nine
males; one hundred and twenty three females;
of these, there have been dieoharged—restored,
one hundred and nineteen ; improved, fifty•seven ;
unimproved, twenty-three deaths, thirty-three;
remaining in Hospital January Ist, 1860, one
hundred.
The statistics show that in oases where the mal.
ady woe less than six months standing before
admission, the restorations amount to fifty-six
per oent.; in oases of long stamding the cures are
only about eleven per cent. of the admissions,
; giving fresh proof of the importance of early
treatment in all oases of insanity.

EDITOR ADVOOATB-RtV. Sir: I have 88011 with
much pleasure, in the last two issues of your pa
per, communications commendatory of the Howe
Seine° MAOHINB ; and I will state for the bene
fit of your readers, a little of my experience.
Last Fall I went into the manufacture of ladies'
cloaks and stella shawls quite extensively, and
wanting the best machine, and not positively
knowing which one to adopt, I got one of
. Grover
and Baker's $76 Machines, one of Wheeler and
3Vilson's $lOO Machines, one of Finkle's $B6
Machines, ,one of Braman's $36 Machines, and
one of dowe's $55 Machines. I had them all
tried faithfully by experienced operators, with
the view of adopting the one best suited to that
variety of work, and after a rigid test I found the
Howe Machine to be the only one that would per
form on all and every variety of fabric to my perfect
.atiefactian, and I therefore gave it the preference
in my factory, to the exclusion of all others. It
is strong, durable, compact, simple, and never
gets out of order, and too much praise cannot be
awarded it. Truly yours,
WM. H. WHITE,

Meurs. Finning Brothers :—Dear Sirs :—There

Tim Quinn's SP2II/011.—Parliament was opened
by the Queen In person on the 24th ult. The fol
lowing are extracts from the Queen's speech :
My Lord. and Gentlemen—With great satiefac
tbn I again meet you in Parliament, and have
recourse to your assistance and advice.
My relations with foreign Powers continue on
friendly and satisfactory footings. At the close
of the last session, I informed you that overtures
had been made to me, to ascertain whether, if a
conference should be held by the great Powers of
Europe, for the purpose of settling the arrange.
ments connected with the present state and future
condition of Europe, a Plenipotentiary would be
sent by me to assist at such a conference. I have
since received a formal invitation from , the Du ,
parer of Austria and the Emperor of the French
to send a Plenipotentiary to a Congress to consist
of the representatives of the eight Powers who
were garties to the treaty of Vienna; the ob
jects of such a Congress being stated to receive
communication of the treaties concluded at Zu
rich, and deliberate (associating with the above
Powers the Courts of Rome, Sardinia, and Sicily)
on the means best adapted for the pacification of
Italy, and placing its prosperity on a solid >and
durable basis. Desirous at all times to concur in
proceedings which have for their object the main
tenance of peace I accepted the invitation, but at
the same time m ade it known that in such a Con
gress I should steadfastly maintain the principle
that no external force should be employed to im
poseup on the people of Italy any particular gov
ernment or constitution.
Circumstances have since arisen which have
led to the postponement of the Congress, without
any day having been fixed for a meeting, but,
whether in the Congress or in a separate negotia
tien t I shall endeavor to obtain for the people of
Italy freedom from foreign interference, by force of
arms, in their internal concerns, and I trust that
the` affairs of the Italian peninsula may be peace
fully and satisfactorily settled. The papers on
this subject will soon be laid before you.
I am in communication with the Emperor of the
French, with a view to extend the commercial
Intercourse between the two countries, and thus
draw closer the bonds of friendly alliance between
them.
The papers on this subject will be laid before
you.
My plenipotentiary, and the plenipotentiary of
the Emperor of the French having, in obedience
to their instructions, proceeded to the mouth of
the Peibo river, in order to repair to Pekin to
exchange, in that city, the ratifications of the
treaty of Tien- Ulu, in pursuance of the fifty sixth
clause of that treaty, their further progress was
opposed by the Chinese forces, and a conflict took
place between the forts at the mouth of the river,
and the naval forces by which the plenipotentia
ries were escorted. The allied forces displayed
on this occasion their usual bravery, but after
'sustaining a severe loss, they were compelled to
retire. I sin preparing, in concert and cooper"
ation, with the Emperor of the. French, an
expedition intended to compel redress and the
fulfillment of the stipulations of the treaty. It
will be gratifying to me if the prompt aoquies
°once of the Emperor of China in the moderate
demands which will be made by the plenipoten
tiaries, will obviate the necessity for the employ..
ment of force. have directed that the papers
on the subject be before'you.

An unauthorized proceeding by en officer of the
United States in regard to the island of San Juan,
between Vancouver's Island and the main land,
might have led to a serious collision between my
forces and those of the United 'States; but the
collision has been prevented by the judicious for
bearance of my naval officers on the spot and the
equitable and conoilistory provisions and arrange
ments proposed by the Government of the United
States. I trust that. the question of boundary,
out of which this affair has arisen, may be ami
cably settled ins manner conformable with justice
to the two countries, and as defined by the first
article of the treaty of 1846.

The Commercial Treaty between France and
England continued to attract attention and spec
ulation. The Conatitutionnel publishes several
articles of the treaty, as the following : On and
after July Ist, the import duties on cotton and
wool will .be suppressed English coal and coke
will be subject to the same duties as in Belgium.
After October next, a duty of two francs will be
substituted for the aotual duty on iron. From
December, duties on machinery will be diminish
ed. From January, 1861, the sugar duty will be
reduced. From January, 1861,. prohibitions of
the importations of threadtand hemp will be re-.
placed by a duty not exceeding thirty per cent.
and from October, 1861, all remaining prohibi
tions will be abolished. The advantages granted
to France will be stated shortly. Some French
journals report that the duty on French wines
imported into England, will be 2d per bottle, and
le 9d per gallon ; that silk will be admitted free.

Divine Master. For the last few years of her life, the In
Frailties of old age prevented her from attending the sane-
tuary. This was to her a source of great regret. But it
afforded a peculiar pleasure: to her mind to recall the happy
seas - ms she had enjoyed while in &an and strength. In
the course of many conversations, she expressed herself as
trusting for salvation alone in the atonement of Christ.
She viewed herself as a poor lost Sinner saved by grace
alone. Her end was very peaceful. There was no pardon
ler form pf disease ; but the gradual decay of the vital
powers. Her Muter gently let her down into the grave.
"Let me die the death of the righteous, and let my last
end be like his." • W.B.X.

Dam A. CIAXPOILL in the 20th year of his age.
In the death . of this yonng;mtut, his family has been sa•
verely agitated, and society has received a painful shock.
No event, so mournful in its'airatunstancee, has for a long
time occurred in - this ca - Mmtinity. - In the midst Of life,and
in the enjoynumt of perfect health, be• wee taken suddenly
111, and in the brief space of four days he was dead. A little
more than one year ago, the Session of Mt. Prospect chnrch
received hi'm to the communion of the church, by public
profession of his faith in Christ. Prom that time his stead.
fast purpose was to preach to dying men the unseerchs,
ble riches of Christ," if God should accept him. But his
Divine Meeter had other purpose. in view. He bee been
removed, as we trust, from the Church on earth to the
Church In heaven. Be wee a ro i ling man mush beloved.
At his departure from our midst we ate distressed. We
mourn, but do not mourn without hope. Our consolation
Is that our young brother gave evidence that he wee a sin
cere Christian. May the Lord help us tobow in submission
to his koly will.
