From the I tuli ana Journal. R All, HO A Do, TURNIHRC5, AND CAXALS. Oexilemgn:-I had not any intention of saying anv tiling about the comparative advantages of Ca

nals and"u ail-roads, until I saw the article of "One of the People, to which 1 nave heretofore made fame allusion, for I am an advocate for both kinds cr improvement, and do not wish to cast a straw in tho way of cither, where the one proposed is likely ta bo the most expedient and profitable on the route proposed "to be improved: nor do I like to see other men meddling in such cases merely because the proposed work is not likely to run immediately through or by their possessions, as may be the case of One of the People in the present instance. Therefore, his offering to mike a formidable resistance to the construction of a Rail-road where one is much needed, and where a Canal cannot be had, is, I think, a reasonable anolorrv for my civing a compen dium of a chapter on the Comparative advantaget of Canal and Rail-roads. "The proper construction of Canals where the amount of transportation, ic large, is this: width 40 feet depth of water fj feet locks 100 feet long by 11 feet wide boats to carry 70 tons, with two hordes. Where the business is email: width 23 or 30 feet depth 4 or 41 feet looks 80 feet long bv 8 feet wide boats to carry 00 tons, with one horse. The passengers on a Rail-road, at a toll of one cent each per mile, will generally more than pay the repairs, while on Canals they would probably fall short of paying. The expense of attendance on Canals, will exceed that on Rail-wars, unless there be stationary engines on the latter.

Jble. The number of passengers that arrived at Louisville, Ky., in one week this year, (1930) was 1180." From this quotation we may infer that 2000 dollars would now convert the Cumberland road into a double track Rail-way. What will it cost to McAdainize it J Allowing one perch of stone and gravel at 3 dollars to each foot, it will cost the enormous sum of 15,840 dollars per mile! And allowing it to take only half that quantity of stone and gravel at the came price, and it caunot be done with less, nor for less, and we still have the sum of 7,925 dollars, a sum sufficient to make a first rate Rail-road along side of it, and were the two roads now in complete operation, we see, according to the foregoing table, that the cost of transportation on the Rail-road would vary from one-seventh to one-tenth of what it would on the National road. How then can One of the People, or any other gentleman of learning try to disparage the construction of Rail-roads, and argue in favor of Turnpike-roads! I will now proceed with my extracts: "I have endeavored to make the calculations as favorable as possible for Canals. I I have estimated the expense of broad Canals 5 feet deep, at an average of 18,000 dollars per mile. Rut the New York Canals, only 4 feet deep, cost upwards of 20,000 dollars; and the Pennsylvania Canals of 429 miles, of which but GO miles are 5 feet deep, cost, on the average, 23,030 collars per mile. I have estimated narrow canals at 12,000, which is below their usual cost. I have allowed 70 tens to a two horse boat, on a Canal, and two men and a boy to be sufficient to navigate. The load is larger and the hands fewer, than is usual in practice. I have supposed the toll cn passengers to pay the repairs of both Raii-roads and Canals; but Canals ran hardly have passengers after the introduction of Rail-roads whiio most Rail-reads will nave more than enough to pay their repairs. We have heretofore spoken merely cf expense: hut there are various other considerations connected with the subject. Rail-roads may be used at least 11 months in the year; Canals in a northern climate, net more than 8 months. The hands are employed on Canals when their services are wanted elsewhere, and they are unemployed wh:n there is no other work to be had. The business cf Canals must he limited, from the inconvenience of conveying goods to the Canal, fend unloading and reloading, to be carried a few miles,upon it. But as branch B&il-rosds can be constructed at any price down to GOO dollars per mile, brandies will be run to every village contiguous to the line, and goods will come in on those lines, and proceed without obstruction on the main line, increasing the convenience and profit of the improvement. Carriages for burthen may travel on Rail-roads enough for the conveyance of passengers also, and the receipts for passengers will enable a reduction of the charges for freight: but on canals separate boats lnnst be employed for passengers, and the speed still slow, while the power exerted by the horses will much exceed that on the rail-road, owing to the iireat increase of resistance from the water w henever speed is accelerated. For this reason, passengers can be carried on a Rail-road cheaper than iu Meimboats. The celerity of transportation is a great object in many cases. 1 his can be effected onj liai!-roads, hut not o:t CanaFs, certainly another important object. Canals are very liable to interruption from breaches in the banks, or giving way in aqueducts, Arc. News was received in one day this season (1S-30) of the stoppage of three lines in Pennsylvania, viz: the Schuvkill, the Susquehanna. and the Alleghany. But Kail-roads will rarely be; interrupted, as in case ol any accident to one track, the carnages can turn on the other track and pass the imperfect place. A further advantage of Bail-roads is in the acconnncdation they will afford to farmers for the transportation of lime, plaster of Paris, or other manure for fertilizing their land. These articles hy branch roada can he advantageously conveyed to every neigborhood. They will accommodate" large cities, and the surrounding country, by conveying fresh milk, butter, vegetables, and fruits from a reat distance in a few hours. They will accommodate towns and villages on the sites generally chosen, namely, those which are high and healthy, and will furnish inducements to establish towns in such places, in preference to those which are low and unwholesome. It requires a number of years j to complete a Canal and get it in order, the owners losing the interest of their capital during this time; but a Bail-way of considerable length may be completed in a single year. From all these considerations, there can to but little doubt, that although Canals may be found preferable in some cases, yet in tour out. oi uvc a rail-way will be preferred The experiment of UaiLwavs has been ays lias been pretty firly tested by 11"experience on jtapibsion mauo on ine public mind i t,uch, that whiln no oiu? thinks of unking Canals, Uail-way

Some of the opposition prints are getting over their dread of military chieftains, since they have hoisted the Harrison banner, and enquire, with much assurance, "where was Mr. Van Buren during the late war?" The following extracts from the Address of the Republican members of the New-York Legislature to their constituents, dated March 19th, 1813, written and signed by Martin Van Buren, will show that he was not idle during that eventful period and that, notwithstanding he saw but little actual service in the tented field, ho is eulilled to almost as much credit as Gen. Harrison, who hid a Johnson, a Croghan, and other bravo officers always ut hand to achieve his victories, and on who3e merits his friends now wish to make him President of the U. Slites. But the sentiments of Mr. Van Buren will speak for themselves. The following is his language in 1813: "Fellow-citizens : Your country is at war, and great is her enemy. Indulge us in a brief examination in the causes which have led to it: and brief as from the necessary limits of an address, it must be, we yet hope it will be found sufficient to convince every honest man of the man JCSTIOK AND INDISPENSABLE NECF.S.MTV OF TIIK ATTITUDE WHICH OCR GOVERNMENT HAS TAKEN, OF THE SACRED DUTV OF EVERY REAL AmEUICAN TO SUPPORT IT IN THAT ATTITUDE, AND OF THE PARRICIDAL VIEW S OF THOSE WHO REFCSC TO DO SO. uTo cap the climax of her iniquity; to fill up the mea- ! sure of our wrongs; she resolved to persist in another measure, surpassed by none in flagrant enormity a measure, which of itself, was adequate cause of war a measure which had excited the liveliest solicitude, and received the unremitting attention of every administration of our government, from the time of Washington to the present day ; the w icked, the odious and detestable practice of impressing American seamen into her service; of entombing our sons within the walls of her ships of war; compelling them to waste their lives, and spill their blood in the service of a foreign government a practice which subjected every American tar, to the violence and petty tyranny of a British midshipman, and many of them to a life of the most galling servitude a practice which never can be submitted to'by a nation professing claims to freedom, which never can be acquiesced in by government without rescinding the great article of our safety, the reciprocity of disobedience and protection bcticeenthe riders ami the ruled. Under such accumulated circumstances of insult and of injury, we ask again, what was your government to do ? We put the question not "io the faction which misrepresent the Government to the people, and the people to the government; traduces one half the nation to cajole the ether and by keeping up distrust and division, wishes to become the proud arbiter of the fortune and fate of America," not to them but to every sound head and honest heart in the nation it istiiat w e put the question. What was your government to do J Was she has I and ingloriously to abandon the rights for which 3ou and your fathers fought and bled Was she so early to cower to the nation which had sought to strangle us in our infancy, and which has never ceased to retard our approach to manhood? Xo: we will not for a moment doubt that every man w ho is in truth and fact an American, will say that war, and war ai.oxf, teas our only refuge from national degradation, our only course to national prosperity. Bat to crown this picture of folly and mischief, they approach yoa under a garb which at once evinces their contempt for your understanding, and their want of confidence in your patriotism ; under a garb which should receive the most distinct maiks cf your detestation; they arc "the friends Or teacf. !" While our enemies are waging against us a cruel and bloody war, they cry peace. While our western wilds are w hitening w ith the bones of our murdered women and children w hile their blood is yet trickling down the walls of their former habitations while the Indian war whoop and the British drum, are in unison saluting the ears, and the British dagger and the Indian j tomahawk suspended over the heads of our citizens at such a time w hen the soul of every man who has seiiMhuity to f?tl his country's wrongs, an 1 spirit to defend her rights, should bo in arms it is that they cry peace! Whilj the brave American tar, the intrepid dofendei of our rights, and the redeemer of our national character, the present boast an i future honor of our land, is impressed by force into a service he detests, which compels a brother to imbrue his hands in a brother's blood while he is yet "tossing on the surface of the ocean, and mingling his groans w ith those tempests less savage than his persecutors that wafts him tr a returnless distance f.o.n his family and his home," it is at such a period, when there is no peace, when there can be no peace, without sacrificing every thing valuable, that our feelinsrs are insulted, the public arm pirafyzed, and the public car stunned, by the dmsiardly and incessant cry of peace! What, fellow -citizens, must be te opinion they entertain of yoa? Can any man be so stupid as not to perceive that it is an appeal to your fears, I? your avarice, and to all the baser passion? which actuate the human heart? That it is approaching you in the manner in which alone these puny politicians who buz about you, and thicken the political atmosphere, say you are accessible, throirgti yourfcars and your pockets? Can any American citizen be so profligate as not to scorn Indignantly the baso libel upon his character ? Suffer yourselves not to be deceived by the pretence, that because Great Britain has been forced by her subjects to make a qualified repeal of her orders, our government ought to abandon her ground. That ground was taken to resist two great and crying grievances, the destruction cf our commerce, and the imprisonment of ocr sf.amhx. The latter is the most important, in proportion as w e prefer the liberty and lives of our citizens to their property. Distrust, therefore, the man who could advise your government at any time, and more especially at this time, when your brave sailors are exciting the admiration, and forcing the respect of an astonished world, when their deeds of heroic valor make old ocean smile at the humHiation of her ancient tyrant; at such a time, we say again, mark the man who would countenance government in commuting OUR SAILORS' RIt.Iirs FOR THE SAFETV OF OUR MERCHANTS' uooos. The wars of Europe are waged by monarch?, to gratify their individual malice, their individual caprice, and to satiate their lawless ambition. Ours is in defence of rights which must be defended, or our glory as a nation will be extinguished; the sun of our greatness will set forever. As well might it have been sahl daring the revolution, that war should not be waged, because wars had desolated Europe. The same rights you then fought to obtain, you must now fight to preserve ; the contest is the sam- now as it was then ; and th3 feelings which then agitated the public mind, which on the one hand supported, and on the other sought to destroy, the liberties of toe country, will be seen and felt in the conduct of the men of this day. In connection with the above we havo an article at hind, from the Dayton Dom. Herald, which asks some plain questions in relation to one of the favorite candidates of the National Intelligencer and other loading whig presses at the cast, and of the Iudlani Journal, as the organ of the opposition, in Indiana. The editor asks : Where was Daniel Webster during the late war? Ife w as in Congress of the United States, - vjting against and using all his influence to crevent Congress from votin? supplies for our gallant little army; yes, he would have denied in em the necessaries of life and the munitions of war, had he been able to overcome by his plausible sophistry, the solid sense and genuine patriotism of the democratic members of that body.

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. Friday January 7, 1314. "The said amendments were then again read at the Clerk's table, when the first was concurred in.

It passed in the affirmative yeas 99, na-s 50. Among those who voted in the negative, is DANIEL WEBSTER. Daniel Vebster, approved of the treasonable designs of the Hartford Convention; he was the mouth-piece of that body of traitors in Congress, and there gave utterance to their opinions and view s, in opposition to the just war in which the country was then engaged with Great Britain. Explosion of a coal mine one hundred lives lost. In announcing the dreadful catastrophe in the Nun's Field, (England,) in tha last Courant, il was not expected that a still more awful occurrence in litis neighborhood, and one it is feared has heen l 7 ten-fold more doslruclive of human life, would have toj be recorded this week. Thursday, about half past two o'clock iu the afternoon, one of those dreadful explosions which hive been so lamentably frequent in the mining districts, took plnco at one of Mr. Russell's colleries, at Wellsend, known by the name of tho Church Pit or Russell's Old Wellaond, by which it is feared 25 men and 75 boys Inve lost their lives. The number of working people employed in this colliery is about 220. The hewers commence working early iu the morning, and having finished geltiny the coal, it is left to bo brought to the bottom of the shaft by the younger men and boys during lbs day, which is the reason why so great a proportion of boys were in tho pit when the accident took place. As every individual who was down at the lime of the explosion remains there still, it is not known, nor as all have probably perished, is it likely to bo explained, by what moans il was occasioned similar accidents have generally been produced by incautiously removing the gause from the safety lamp:, and it is supposed in this instance to have originated in the samo way, though every precaution was taken to prevent its removal. The colliery was viewed in tho morning by Mr. Atkinson and his son, undervie wers, and it was by them considered peifectly safe and secure in every respect, there not being tho least indication of any escape of gas, and at the time thore were four rnon and deputies down who h id heen accustomed to work in the pits for upward of SO year. These are among tho sufferers. From the Boston Post. "Of No Pabtv." The last thing which should be made a subject of boasting, i3, tint one is ot no party. It follows, that if you arc of no party, you have no political opinions; for if you lnve tho latter they must incline you to one side or the other, ia regard to the political measures of tho day If you are of nop my, you aro a political drone, destitute of all patriotic zeal, and perfectly willing tint your country should bo improving or degenerating, without lifting your finger to aid what you might bclieva to be tho cause of truth, liberty or justice; or you are a mean-souled being, fearful lest by avowing your principles you migh?, by forfeiting tho favor of a few, lose a small part of your pecuniary gains. It U true, that you are as liable as any other man to enlist on the side of error, through a mislako of judgment; but whatever principle you have actually adopted, it is your moral duty to endeavor to promulgate whatever measures you do actually believe to be beneficial to tho community, it is your moral duty to promote by your untiring endeavors. In vain will you plead S3 an excuse for your negligence, that you have not formed your political opinions. If you have arrived at the age of manhood, without having form ed your mind upon all tho general principles of government and politics, you area fool or an ignoramous, and deserve to be deprived of your birthright of liberty and if you continue in such ignorance, no thanks will be due toyoursslf if you do not become a slave. By joining no party, therefore, you either tacitly acknowledge your i?nor.ance of political matters, which is disgraceful to you as a citizen of a republic, or your utter want of interest in ths welfaro of the nation, .which is dis graceful to you as a moral bein. Never boast of your indifference in regard to politics; as well might you boast of your indifference in regard to morals, or in regard to the welfare of your neighbor. i here which you approve and condemn: but it is your duty to jm with that party the majority of whoso principles are calculated, in your opinion, to promote the interest of the nation. Southern aspects. The universal and intense excitement in the slave Slates, created by the efforts of the Northern Abolitionists and tho consequences which would seem to have followed them, appears to be increasing in violence and in determination. Loud calls are made upon the people of the North to come forward and show their devotion to tho Union and their regard for the safety of the South by putting down the Abolitionists, putting a stop to their discussions, and restraining the issue of their publications. We believe this demand is made without due consideration. Wo infot that the people of the South do not wish us to attempt the silencing of the abolition bitteries by suasion and argument, sinco they have ere this emphatically deprecated such a course; and, as to legal proceedings, we know no law which could reach them, and no constitutional power to erect one, save and except those of the renowned Judge Lynch of energetic memory, whoso code is only at intervals acknowledged in thia region. They must understand our situation better. There are Southern as well as Northern fanatics; and we do most thoroughly believe that, by following the dictates of the former, we should inevitably throw the political supremacy of the North into

the lands of tbo latter. Thus far, almost crery step which has been taken for their subversion has but added to their zeal and their numbers; and the . i -t c i r

passage ot a law abridging mo irueuoin oi uju press under anv pretext would but servo to drive thousands into their ranks, onu alter an u could never be enforced. It will be seen by the subjoined extract lhat the abolition papers have been taken from the Charleston Post-Office and publicly burnt in the streets. Even those who approve the act must admit that there is great danger in tho principle here established. . We cannot see the alleged connexion between tho Anti-Slavery efforts in this city and the diabolical attempt at insurrection in Mississippi. The prime movers here are fanatics the plotters of the neuro revolt were villains of the deepest dye. These are misguided but sincere it is this that renders them formidable; but the instigators of midnight murder in Mississippi were not onlyreckless but depraved, and acting with no other aim than the gratification of their own detestable passions. New Yorker. CiiAitcESTON, July 31. Destruction of the incendiary pamphlet. Such was the excitement in our city caused by the arrival of incendiary pamphlets and papers which almost monopolized the United Stales Mail on Wednesday, that a crowd of two or three hundred citizens assembled that night, for the purpose of seizing and destroying them. These citizens were met by Lieut. Brown of the City Guard near the Exchange and persuaded to disperse; but it not being generally known lhat measures were in concert between the Postmaster and many of our leading citizens, to call the attention of the authoriles at Washington to the subject, a few gentlemen afterward broke open the Postoffice, seized tho bags containing the Abolition tracts, and made a public bonfire of tho whole last evening. Wc regret this act as premature. It would have been time enough to net, after we h.id learned that the Federal Goverumen twould not interfere stop to the Post-office being used as a means of annoyance and injury to those who are taxed for its support. We would fain believe that the laws are strong enough to protect us in our rights. When they fail to do so, it will be time enough to show that at all hazards, we will take care of ourselves. We think, too, it would have been belter had the pamphlets been allowed to reach their destination to put the whole Southern community on their guard by presenting ocular proof of the movements of the Fanatics, especially ns each bundle wns to be accompanied by circulars from the South Carolina Assocntion. We believe that those who broke open the PostOffice havo erred, but none can blame their feelings or motives, which have tho sympathy of the entire community. Mercury. "What in the name of natur," said an old farmer the other day, "what in Cain is the reason that every democratic candidate for the Presidency is always blackguarded about these here niggers?" "Oh, that's all plain enough," said his neighbor. "Would you mark a white sheep with charcoal?" "No." "Well" how would you mark a white one?" "Black, cf course." "Just so. That's the very reason why tho Federalists always put a black mark on our candidates; because their characters are so pure lhat chalk would'nt show." "Oli, yes, and now I sec why thoy havo marked their own party White because they aro the real old fashionable black cockaders." "Right, Roger, right." Angelica Rep. From Lamartine's Travels in the East. The Bedouin Arab and jus mare. The Bedouins are fond of relating their stories after supper. Here is one which the Amer told us; it displays their extreme attachment to their horses, and pride in their good qualities: A man of his tribe, named Giabal, had a mare of great reputation Has3an Pacha, then Vizier of fDimas, made hiui repeatedly imaginable offers, but in vain, to part with her. A Bodouin loves his horse as his wife. The Pacha employed threats, with no better success; when another Bedouin, named Giafar, asked what he would give him, should he bring him the much admired animal. "I will fill thy barley sack with gold," answered Hassan, who was offended at not having succeeded; and the affiir making some noise. Giabal secured his marc at night, by placing an iron ring around her foot, from which a chain passed into his tent, and was fastened to a stake driven in the ground, under tho felt which served himself and wife for a bed. At midnight, Giafar penetrated, creeping into the tent, and sliding between Giabal and his wife, removed gently first the one, then the other. Tho husband believing himself shoved by his wife, and the woman by her husband, each gave way; Giafar, with a knife well sharpened, then made a hole in the felt, drew out the stake, detached the marc, mounted her, and taking Giabal's lance, touchedhim lightly with it, saying, "It is I, Giafar, who have stolon your favorite I give you warning." He set off, Giabal rushed from this tent, called his horsemen, and he being mo.inted on a mare of his brother's thoy pursued Giafar four hours. The brother's mare of the same blood with thatcf Giabal, though inferior in excellence'. They distanced all the other horsemen, and Giabal was on the point of overtaking the fugitive, when ho called out to him "Pinch her right ear and give a blow with the stirrup!" Giafar did so, and shot away like lightning. Tho pursuit was useless; and the other Bedouins reproached Giabal for being mmselt the cause of the los3 of his mare "I would rather," he replied, "lose her than sully her reputation. Should I let it be said anions the tribe, would Ali, that another mare has outdone mine? I have yet at least the satisfaction of saying, that no olhtr could overtake her." Each Bedouin, accustoms his horse to a fcign, which makes him put forth his strength. He only uses it in the most pressing need, and never reveals the secret even to his son. From the Baltimore American, Aug. 11. I2iot Continued. The excitement in reference to the persons connected with the affairs of the Bnk of Maryland was manifested to a still greater extent on Sunday night. At eicrht o'clock the house of Revprrlv .Tnlmcnn in Monument Square, was attacked and entered,, the furniture thrown into the street and burnt, the interior of the house demolished, and the front partly torn down. A short time before eleven o'clock, the house of John B. Morris, in South street, was attacked, the furniture' thrown into the street and burnt, and the interior demolished. About the same hour an attack was about to be made on the newly erected dwelling of Hugh McEldcrry, in north Calvert street, but? it is said that a representation that the property was yet in the hands and at the risk of the contractor, induced the party to retire. The residence of Jesse Hunt, Mayor of the city

was next vieited, and the furniture thrown into th street and burnt. The house of captain Bent zinger was also assail"

ed. The store of captain Willey in Franklin street was about to undergo a similar visitation, but the representation by Mr. Lynch that the property was his and not captain W's. was the means of its preservation. The hcuse of Dr. Hititze was assailed; but' his lady making her appearance and declaring that the property was her own, she having received it from her father's estate they listened to her appeal and departed without doing any injury. These citizens were active in eupportingfthe civil authorities on Saturday night. A little before day-break on yesterday morning the residence of Evan T. Ellicott, in Pratt street, was attacked, and tho furniture thrown into the etrcet and burnt. In all these cases the assailants carried on their proceedings without hindrance or any attempt at it. There was a meeting of citizens at the Exchange Mr. Preston, Mr. Urunc and uen. J. r?pear bmith. A motion was then made and carried, to form the citizens of the respective wards into classes, and they were directed to meet in the afternoon in their several wards. JUonday afternoon, six o'clock. There has been a general shutting up of stores and places of business, in conformity with a resolution passed by the committee of citizens. A requisition has been addressed by the civil authorities to General Smith, Ftating their inability to preserve the puMic peace, and asking him for military aid to enable them to do so. An order has accordingly been issued by General Smith, Commander of the' Third Division of Maryland Militia calling out the Division for the service aforesaid, to assemble at the City Hall, where arms would be furnished to them. Numbers of citizens are now answering the requisition, and receiving arms. Ten o'clock, P. V. -Corps of citizens, well armed, are occupying different points of the city, and thus far every thing is quiet. The new country. The country bordering on Rock River is attracting the particular attention of emigrants, and well will they be compensated for any examination they may bestow upon it. In all the properties which can render any lands valuable for agricultural and mechanical purposes, it is unsurpassed. Three years ago it contained from its source to the ack village opposite Rock Island, but one white family. Its banks are now adorned with many fine farms and a numerous population.
