ROT. . t8e-
U. S. Senator.
i The question who shall the Whigs
-support for U. S. Senator the coming
"winter, causes considerable specula
tion among our cotemporaries. Th?
Cincinnati Gazette says Mr. Corwin
is not a candidate for the seat; we
-have seen no such announcement in
'regard to Mr. Ewing: on the contra
ry vre had supposed that his friends
.would support him, and that there
would be but one opinion among the
f Whigs of the Legislature that Mr.
Ewing would be their first choice.
But should it be decided to elect a
' new man, we believe that from the
longest of our able men, no gentle
man can be found better qualified, or
that would more ably represent the
State of Ohio, in the Senate of the
United Slates, than the Hon. S. F.
Vintoh. Ripe with the experience
of a quarter of a century in the low
er House, familiarly acquainted with
' the history ol the government dur-
" ing that period; prompt in the dis
'; charge of every duly that meets him
as a legislator; conservative in his
. views; a good Whig sans peur et sans
reproche, he is peculiarly well fitted
for the post. This section of the
State heretofore has been but sel
dom consulted by the Legislature in
their selection of candidates to fill of
fices within its gift. The Miami Val
ley and the Reserve have successful
ly urged their claims.. Of this we
do not complain; neither would we
: urge any such claim in favor of Mr
: V inton; it is enough that the river
counties have been as uniform in
! Iheir support of Whig men and
' hig measures as any other por
1 tion of the State, and if any new man
. is to be selected to be supported for
the U. S. Senate by the Whies of
the next Legislature, Hon. Samuel
FmtET ViirTOfr is the first choice of
those counties.
; BeLTise. A portion ol the Ham
. ilton county . Locofocos refused to
support the regular ticket, and the
'Locos feared, and the Whigs hoped,
"the effects of the division would be
to the advantage of the Whigs.
The election told another story and
Showed old Hunkerism stronger than
J ever before in Hamilton. The bolt
1 ing organ, the Dispatch, is dead, and
we presume Dr. Duncan and his
friends have found an inside berth
much preferable, to an outside.

(pThe steamer Za. chary Taylor
made her first trip to this place as a reg
ular packet last Saturday night. She is
a very neat boat and would do credit to
any trade, besides being ofScered.by
gentlemen who, for skill and experience,
cannot be surpassed on the river.
We understand that the owners in
tend giving this trade a fair trial, and if
a disposition is manifested by the citi
zens of Gallipolis to patronize this pack
et, that they wilt continue, otherwise
they will be compelled to fall back on
their old trade. - She will make weekly
trips, leaving this place for Cincinnati
every Monday morning and returning
every Saturday evening. ' ' (

steamer Alabama arrived al new Or

New Hampshire. Long Jim Wil
son, the only Whig in Congress from
this State, having resigned his seat, a
new election took place the other day to
supply his place. Morrison, Loco, beats
the Whig 63 votes. The Loco Legis

Loco territory for the purpose of pro
ducing this result. New Hampshire

Gen. House, at our request, has fur

To ths Editor of the Journal:
Sit: At a meeting held Oct 9th,
IS50, 1 was appointed a delegate to
attend a Railroad Meeting, to be
held at Louisa C. H., Vs., on the
17th of the same mouth. On the 10th
I proceeded on the route, via Kana
wha Salines, and arrived at the
place appointed in time for said meet
ing. I found there the Directors of
the Central Railroad Company, and
i r ll.u '- -
a large numoer oi iiocanoicers iu
said Company. ' Also, the Slate's
proxy, and number of delegates
from several or the western counties
of Virginia. After the meeting had
attende'd to what immediately con
cerned the Company, they look, up
the subject of continuing the said
road from Staunton towards Coving
ton.: They resolved to put about 20
miles of the same under contract so
soon as it can be prepared, ine
same railroad is in use from
Richmond to Charlottesville, a dis
tance of about ninety miles, . and
from Charlottsville to. Staunton, a
distance of about forty miles is under
contract by the Company, except
the Blue Ridge Tunnel and about
7 miles east of the Ridge. The Tun
nel is the work of the Mate, and is
now being constructed under the
Board of Public Works. They have
entered the mountain on the west
side something like eighty feet, and
are Drocressins apparently very
well; on the east side they have made
all of the open cutting and are ready
to commence the Tunnel from that
side. The distance through the
mountain, as I was informed, is four
thousand seven hundred feet, of
very hard rock. It will be a great
work when done.
The officers, stockholders and del
egates at the meeting, expressed
themselves thoroughly in favor of,
and a determination to make every
exertion in their power to have this
railroad continued to the Ohio river,
to such a point as would best meet
the road by Chilicothe, Cincinnati,
and through Indiana and Illinois, to
St. Louis, Mo. Whether it shall be
the mouth of the great Kanawha
Guyandotte, or Big Sandy rivers,
they have not that personal knowl
edge to enable them at present to
decide. They, like all others, are de
sirous of having the nearest and best
route. When that shall be decided
upon, there will be no further con
test as to the route. There will be
an effort made at the next meeting of
the Virginia Legislature, for a char
ter to extend from Covington to the
Ohio river. When that is done it
will be time for all that feel an in
terest in the road to do all in their
power to forward its construction
in as short a time as possible. If the
mouth of the Great Kanawha shall
be settled on as the Virginia termin
us, (of which I have no doubt,) then
we have our work before us, to make
the road through to Chilicothe, and
that just as soon as possible.
Very respectfully, vours, &c,
GEO. HOUSE.

The Maysville EagU notices sun
dry meeting of the people, and the
one at Mavsville was characterized
by actions as well as words.
1 he tallowing resolution was
adopted: '
Resolved, That the citizens of Mays

ing, pledge themselves to procure
to be taken by private subscription
within the city stock to the amount
of Fifty Thousand Dollars, in the
Maysville and Lexington Railroad

John McDonocoh. The Nation
al Intelligencer of this morning, says
that it learns through a telegraphic
communication to tne Kev. vvm,
McLain, Secretary of the American
Colonization Society, that Mr. John
McDonough, of New Orleans, has
bequeathed to the Colonization So
ciety "one eighth of the nett reve-
nues of his estate during forty years,
but not to exceed twenty-five thou
sand dollars a year." It is added
that "the will is complicated, and
its validity doubtful."
The Intelligencer has the follow
ing notice of the deceased, who was
a native of this city, where members
of his lamily still live: Baft Pat.
Mr. McDonough was a merchan
and planter, and settled in New Or
leans while Louisiana was a colony
of Spain. During some forty years
of successful business he amassed an
immense fortune, estimated at seve
ral millions of dollars. Like all men
who have become rich by Industry
from small beginnings, he was fru
gal, exact, and what the world cal
led parsimonious; but with these
qualities he blended the apparently
contradictory one of liberality; for
he subscribed munificently to the be
nevoleut institutions of the country,
He employed a clergyman for regit
lar religious services lor his numer
ous slaves, to all of whom he gave
some education, and at one time
liberated and sent to Liberia eighty
five ol them, making ample provis
ion for their transportation and set
tlement. Yet this man was announ
ced in the telegraphic note we pub
hshed yesterdny as "a miser. '
The Episcopal Convention. Th
House of Bishops have refused to
restore Bishop Onderdonk, and have
rejected the petition of the Diocese
of New York, both by a majority of
about 2 to 1. A canon has been
passed by the House of Clerical and
Lay Deputies, providing for the elec
tion of an Assistant Bishop where
the Bishop of a diocese has been sus
pended. The Convention have adop
ted a resolution providing for a trien

theological seminary at the same
time with the contention.
Where is the Wildebness. At
the beginning of this century it was
in Ohio and Indiana. Twenty-five
years afterwards it was in Michigan

it was in Minesota territorv. Next

Where the steamboat goes, there
the wilderness disappears. And the
steamboat is soon to startle the Indi
an and wake the echoes of the for
est above the falls of St. Anthony;
for a boat is now building there
which is rapidly progressing. The
time for launching her has even been
fixed "as soon as the river is clear
of ice." The builder hails from Ban
gor, Maine, the opposite extremity
due East, and is said to be "a highly
skillful workman." The dimensions
of the craft are 103 feet keel, 120 feet
deck, 18 feet beam, and will draw
twelve inches light. The machine
ry is in course of construction at
Bangor, and will be at the falls by
the opening of navigation, "bteam

Falls of St. Anthony. Poetry may

gavs in relation to the affairs of Aus

How a collision is to be avoided
under these circumstances it is diffi
cult to understand. Each govern

on the hair-trigger of a mighty ful
minating needle gun, the first Hash
of which will ignite the vast maga
zines of combustible matter collected
on all sides, and if the explosion
takes place, there is no man that can
predict the lamentable results. All

The Porte has just published a de
