Pittsburgh and Wheeling. Several articles have appeared in Pittsburgh newspapers, in favor of a project for builinga Rail road from that city to Washington, Pa., thereto Beet the Hemp field Railroad from Wheeling.? The Pittsburgh Gazette, in publishing two com nranicationson the subject, says, (among ether re marks:) "We are glad this Washington project has been suggested, and we aie highly gratified to under stand, that there are men here who stand leady to take hold of it, and to subscribe stock in it, and to build it, if the people of Washington and Wheeling show a disposition to bury the hatchet and to co operate in a work equally beneficial to all." The communications referred to, present argu ments calculated to influence the minds of the people of Pittsburgh in favor of the sche i.e. Part of the writer's plan is to supercede the construc t on of the Hcinpfield road. Eastward of Washing ton. On the other hand, the Washington Repor ter repels the latter proposition with great empha sis, while it cordially encourages the project of a Railioad from Pittsburgh to Washington. The Pittsburgh Gaz. thinks that "to the Pittsburgh and 6teubenville road, it will prove, if constructed, a most important feeder." We may find space here after, to republish some of these articles for the in . formation of our readers. They cannot look with , indifference upon any Railroad scheme emanating from Pittsburgh, and directly bearing upon our own great lines. Gov. Siiults.?Gov. Shu Its, who died at Phila delphia last Friday, was about eighty years old. As long ago as 1810, he represented the county j of Lebanon, then including Dauphin, in the House of Representatives of the State, and was for tnany years actively engaged in the politics of the Com monwealth, and consistently acting with the Dem- j ocraticparty.?In 1822 he was elected to the State Senate; in 1823 he was elected Governor, and was re-elected in 1826. In 1829 he was again a candi date for nomination, but was opposed by Mr. Ber nard and the convention'finally settled upon Gov. Wolf,as anew taan. After his retirement from office, he removed to Lycoming county where he lost heavily by some unfortunate speculations, and of late years he has resided in Lancaster along with some relatives. His bearing and manner were dig nified and agreeable, and he was as popular in so cial as he was in |K>liiical life. The only surviving ex-Governors of the State j now are Hons. Joseph Ritner, David R. Porter and Wni. F.Johnston. Abd-El-Kader. The Paris correspondent of the Boston Atlas, gives the following description of the person and habits of the Arabian chief, whose liberation by Louis Napoleon, has formed such ametevial part in the foreign news for the last tu*o or three steam ers. Abd-e'.-Kader is about fifty years of age, and a man of marvelous beauty. I lis eyes, of so deep a blue they seem black, have an imperious so't of softness, a melancholy pining after home, of au in describable effect. Someone hassaid with justice, they are the eyesrf a lion, whos'rnnuir, and at the same lime wishes to show himself amicable. His nose has the nobleness of the most exquisite Greek medals. His smooth cheeks are without muscles or high cheekbones, and are set off by a fine, silky, and brilliant black beard. His collor is a dullish white. He wears arjundhima white boau haick, or baurnou, a garment a good deal like a large sheet with a crowl at one end. He occupies at the Hotel de la Terasse the first floor (above the ground floor) on the front; as soon as he was shown into his sa lon he asked which direction was East; immediate an Arab of his suite spread n carpet, Abd-el Kader knelt, his face on the grout.d, and prayed aloud, au example immediately followed by all the Arabs. He generally eats alone; his food consistsprincipally of rice, which is served to him in soups and cakes; frequently during the day he eats bread aud milk; at dinner, he has, besides, vegtables and fruit. He never eats mea*, and while all of his companions smoke a great deal, the rank he holds in religion in terdicts him the use of tobacco. He sleeps in a French bed; in the same room with him, one of his compan ons sleeps on a pallet. He prays frequent ly in his chamber, prostrated, his face on the ground ?be always prays aloud; he writer frequently, and for a long time together, seated on his heels, and leaning on his right side. Louis Napoleon's Message. A dispatch, received at London by the sub-ma rine telegraph from Paris, on the 6th, gives the fol lowing passages in the message read in the French Senate, on the 4th, by order of the President: "The nation has just openly manifested its will to re establish the Empire. If you aUopt it, you will think, no doubt, with me, that the Constitu tion of 1852 ought to be maintained, and then the modification considered as indispensable will by no means a Iter the fundamental basis. "In the re-establishment of the Empire, the people find a guarantee for its rights and a satisfac tion to itsjust pride. "This re-establishment is a security for the fu ture?closing, as it does, the era of revolutions and consecrating again the conquests of 1789. "It satisfies itsjust pride because, raising again freely and deliberately what all Europe, thirty seven years ago, destroyed by force of arms amidst the disasters of the country, the people nobly re venges its reverses, without making any victims, without threatening any independence and with out disturbing the peace of Ur world." Married in Prison.?On Saturday last, a pris oner confined iu the jail at Bergen, N. J., was uni ted in marriage to a young woman named Elicu McClusky. He had been confined in jail on the charge of faithlessness to his engagements to her, under aggravated circumstances, and when, allot due reflection, he consented to enter into the bonds of matrimony, he was considered by the law a fit man to enjoy liberty.

Should you succeed in accomplishing the object, you will associate your name v ith a most important and beneficial measure for the glory and prosperity of your country. Yours, very respectfully, JAMES [BUCHANAN. Rouulvs M. Saunders, Esq. In reply to this communication, Mr. Saundc-is ad dressed a letter to Mr. Buchanan, dated La Granja. July 29, 1847, iu which he states that he was em barrassed how and to whom to make the offer for the purchase of Cuba. After sending all round, he heard that there was a change likely to be made in the Spanish Minister of Foreign Affairs, and he therefore concluded to see Gen. NarTaext the Pre sident of the Council, whom he describes as a"bold, fearless man, the soul of the Cabinet," and ascer tain from him the truth of the rumoras to the re ported change in the Minister of Foreign Affairs. Mr. Saunders saw Gen. Narraez, who told him that the change would take place; and lie Arranged to have another interview with him the next day/ when he would make the communioationija regard to Cuba. Mr. Sounders writes: - I accordingly called at the hour appointed and opeaed the conversation by stating the information which had been given bjr Mr. Campbell, relative to the ..threatened insurrection in the Havana, your instructions to our coiimil as to the caution td be used in his words and actions tdavoid even the'sus piciou-of encouraging the insurgents, and the posi tive order of the Secretary of War to Maj. General Butler to prevent any attempt on the" part of the volunteers, in their return from Mexico, from stop ping at the Havana. He expressed himself as thankful for tl.c information as entirely satisfied with the i.onductof our Government, and request ed roe muckas gratia* many thanks to the Presi dent for his course in the business. He further said that they had their difpQultiei to contend . with,. both in Cuba and at home; -ait should always lggk. with confidence to our great country, from the frendly relations which hail so long existed be tween Spain and the United States. i lie requested to be furnished with copies of >our j answerand of the Secretary's order. I promised to give him a copy or" the orderto Gen. Butter, and I of so much of your letter as referred to the subject, | with the understanding that the information given by Mr. Campbell was not to be used in any way to excite prejudices against him as our consul. 1 considered this a favorable moment to introduce the subject which had been the peculiar object of my visit. I began by saying: "His Exuellency ! would allow me to advert to another matter in re gard to the Island of Cuba, which, though one of I delicacy, wasof great importance to us; and I trust ed he would receive my communication in the same I friendly spirit in which it wasmade." He replied j it would afford him much pleasure to hear any thiiig I might have to say. I continued:-r-"His Excellency was fully aware of the very deep in terest which the United States felt in every thing connected with tlie present condition and future I prospects ol Cuba; its position, its great importance | to our commerce, the condition of a portion of its | population were well calculated to increase the interest we felt in its fate." He expressed his full assent to all this, I say:?"that, whilst the Presi dent and our peO\ *e were perfectly content that it should remain a colony of Spain and did not, by any means, desire lo change that relation, several events had recently tnken place well calculated to excite our fears and to create some alarm 011 the subject. I should contend myself by referring to a few ot them. The recent revolution in France and the order by its Provisional Government for the im mediate emancipation of the slaves in the French island, and the fatal consequences which had fol lowed, had produced great anxiety in the United States as to its effects on the Spanish island, lie would doubtless recollect the speech of Lord George Bentinck, at the last session of the Parlia ment, on the subject of the Spanish bondholders, and the reply of Lord Palmerston, asserting the right of the British Government lo wage war against Spain for the recovery of these debts, whenever it might deem it expedient." His Excellency, very emphatically signified his recollection of these speeches. "These circumstances, in connection with the recent suspension of all diplomatic inter; I course with the two Government, had added to the anxiety of the United States as to the conditio u of Cuba. They had led the President to believe that J the time had arrived when it was prudent for him to give to the Minister at this Court authority to treat on the subject of Cuba, if it should be the pleasure of her Catholic Majesty to enter into such a nego ciation. I had been honored by the President with a special commission for this purpose, a fact which 1 had been directed to communicate to the Govern ment of her Majesty in confidence, and which, from the respect I entertained towards his Excel lency, had induced me to make it known to him." He said, in reply, "that he received the information . with much pleasure; that, whilst lie should con sider it as confident! ], it might be best that the Minister of State should be made acquainted with it; that he enjoyed his full confidence and might be implicitly confided in." 1 rejoined: "I did not doubt on that score; but had thought, from the na ture of the subject, as the Minister of State was just about toeiiter upon the duties of his otlice, it was most proper to make the communication to iiis Ex cellency." Here .vur conf? rence ended. As you will sec, I was somewhat guarde.t in the latter part of iny ex pressions and that the Minister was not very explicit in his reply. He, evidently, was pleased with the communication. He was not on y courteous and respectful, but manifested the ertalest attention and interest during the whole cf the conversation. 1 deemed it moat prudent not to use the word '"ces sion," an.I am notexatly certain that he understood me as being authorized to treat for the cession or merely for the security of Cuba. At all events, 1 did not think politic, at this stage of the business, to be more explicit or to press the matter further. I have opened the subject, apprized him of my authority, and can hereafter advert to the subject as circumstances may justify. I am well satisfied nothing will induce the Spanish Government to part with Cuba, hut the apprehension of a success ful revolution in the island ox the fear of its seizure by England. The national pride and chaincter of these people would not induce them readily lo give up on the first point. I have reason to know the Government are not without their fears on the latter point. As 1 learn, private letters from Eng land give them to understand that Lord Palmers'on is disposed to give them trouble and that the bond holders arc pressing that something decisive should be doneiu their behalf. If the Government shall entertain any serious fear in regard to the matter, they would likely open the subjectand thus enable ine to bring forward a formal proposition to treat for a cession. I deem it, therefore, the better policy to suffer the thing to rest as it is lor the present. The Court will remain here for some weeks, when I shall have the opportunity of meeting the Minis ters in an informal way, without attracting that at tention which our official visits in Madrid would likely excite. Besides, I can, at my discretion, as the matter now stands, renew the subject with the new Secretary, which i shall most certainly do should I discover the least gTound to suspect that they are laboring under any misapprehension as to iny conversation with General Narvaez. In another letter, dated Madrid, August 18,1848, Mr. Saunders writes to Mr. Buchanan, that he had just learned that his previous letter had been sent off, and sivs: It is perhaps as well, as it enables me to add in formation on the subject of a more definite charac ter. On the 15th instant I had an interview with the Minister of Foreign Affairs, in which I wns'more explicit in my communication, and he more candid in his reply. I repeated the interest which the Uni ted States felt in the present and future condition of Cuba, and the belief of the President that poss. bly the existing state of things might render it de sirable for her Majesty to enter into negotiations on the subject. He said he had been informed by General Narvaez of the nature of my communica tion to him, and of my authority, that if I 'wished to press the matter further at this time, he should like to hear whether I proposed to treat for the cession of Cuba to the United States, or for its security to Spain; anc1, in the event of a difficulty which Eng land, whether Spain could rely for any aid from the United States. i answered that it was from the fear of difficulty with England, and the threat on her part to seize on Cuba, which had, in part, induced the President to give me the special authority he had done at pre sent; that, as his Excellency would see, uii open rupture between Spain and England?the allies of the United States?might greatly embarass her as to the part which she, nsa neutral, might find it. necessary to take; that, whilst self-preservation and the interest of her commerce might prevent her from remaining passiveiu the event of any pressing dan ?er. she would greatly prefer a direct purchase of Suba to involving herself in a war with England on that account* He said he fully understood her difficulty; that, from the present state of things, he did not anticipate any thing of the kind; that it was but candid iu him to say he could not hold out any prospect at present of a cession; that possibly time might bring it about. Cuba was reported to them asbtiiig secure, butthere was no telling how long it might remain so. He was pleased toreccive my communication; should treat it as entirely confi dential; and if anything should occur to produce n different state of things, he should not fail to inform me of it. The above is, in substance, what transpired. I did not deem it prudent to urge the matter further at this time, but shall not fail to keep myself fully informed ofeverythiug which may occur, and should I see the least prospect of success, shall, of course, avail myself of it. Mr. Saunders writes again on the 17th of Novem ber, 1848, that as the subject had found its way in to the papers of the United States, he had called on the Spanish Minister, and assured him that the pub lications were made without his authority, with which explanation the Minister expressed himself satisfied. Mr. Saunders says in this connection: It is certain they regard Cuba as their mo6t pre cious gem, and nothing short of extreme necessity will ever induce them to part with it. ? * I have had no ^encouragement to renew the sub ject in regard to Cuba; so far as I have been able to collect the opinion of the public, it is against a cession, and I do not think the present Ministry could or even would venture on such a step; boih Pidal and Mon are against against it, and Marvaez says nothing. In another letter dated December 14, 1848, Mr. Saunders said he had another interview with the Spauish Minister, and thus gives the result of that interview: As I considered this a favorable opportunity to renew the subject, I remarked to the Minister he must excuse me for again calling his attention to the matteT of the cession of Cuba; that an impres- | s'lon hail been produced in the United States, in consequence of some recent publication on (he sub ject. that Spain might be imlucedto make tho trans fenf terms sufficiently liberal'should be offeied; and I desired to knpw if ha was willing tohearany thing furtherou the questiou. He answered, hehad understood, from our former conversations on the subject, thatl had not teen instructed to make any direct proposition for the cession, but was author J ized to enter into negotiations whenever it might please her majesty to signify her wish todo so. In tho meantime, the President was satisfied In slider things to remain as tbey were, so long as Cuba should continue under the dominion of Spain.? With this understanding, my communication had been well received, and waB entirely satisfactory; that, so understanding me, lie had felt authorized togive a direct denial to the publications to which' I had referred, and fiad so instructed the different agents of the Government that he wished the mat terthus to stand, as it would enable him to give, in a satisfactory way, ai.y explanations which might be demanded by the Cortes. I replied he had cor rectly understood me, and I had so reported to my novernment, and had since received the I'resil dent's approval of my course; that I did not now j design to make any proposition, as I had received new instructions, but my object was a simple in-1 quiry, to enable me to learn, and to state whether any terms, however liberal, would induce her Ma jesty to make the cession. He answered, he fully appreciated my motives-, and he had seen the statement in the nnp-rs, and could answer most positively "that it was more than any Minister dare to entertain such proposi tion; that he believed such to be the feelings of the country, that, sooner than seethe Island transfer red to any Power, they would prefer seeing it sunk in the ocean " I replied that I was happy to fird he understood my motives, an/1 after his positive and enndid avowal, I certainly should not again renew the subject, unless I should be speoially in vited to doso. Here the matter ended, as far as this published correspondence gives. It appears from this, that the offer to purchase the Island of Cuba, w as made to the Spanish government by President Polk, on his own authority, and without any warrant of Congress, or even advising it of his intention. It is, to say the least, a little strange, that Mr. Polk should have deemed himself possessed of such power, as he appears here to have attempted to ex ercise, as this of buying territory and making the United States lesponsible for the pavmentof the money he agreed to pay. If Spain had agreed to his offer, the matter would have been considered as far as the official organs of the two countries were concerned, settled, and thus Congress would have been called to carry out the bargain, with no au thority however, as far as the President's action was binding, to consider whether it was expedient or proper to bemade. However, here the matter ends, and it is very clear, that Spain will never part with the Island while it lias power to retain it. Tlie Siamese Twins. Many persons who, in days gone by, have takLii a lively interest ill the welfare of Messrs. Er.gand Chang Bunkers, the celebrated Siamese Twins, may be glad to learn that these gentlemen are well, and live at Mount Airy, in this (Surry) county, surrounded by their wives and children.' Mr. Eng has six and Mr. Chang five children, all of whom are aptscliolars and remarkably well be haved, manifesting the strongest possible desire to learn their Jesfoils and to secure the good will o! their teacher. They all partake strongly of the most refined Siamese cast of countenance, form and manner of deporting themselves. In truth, they are a credit to their parents, ami the community in which they live. Messrs. Chang and Eng are alike remarkable for their industry and beligerent dispositions. They ore strict and thorough-going business men, anil woe to the unfortunate wight who dare fo insult them. Formerly they resided in Wilkes county, but in consequence of the numerous actions for assault and battery brought against them in the county they removed into the adjoining county, shortly af ter which they were fined ?15 and costs at Rock ford. the county seat for splitting aboard into splin ters over the head of a man who had insulted them. As regards the supposed sympathy existing be tween them, it'mny be stated that their most inti mate acquaintace deem them to be entirely inde pendent of everything of the kind, and gave as in stances to sustain their opinion; that not long since they attended an auction sale of hogs, and bid [ against each other till they ran up the prices alto | gether above the market rates. Also, that on ouo occasion Mr. Eng or Chang, was taken ill and took to his bed, where he lay complaining for sometime although his brother scolded him severely all the : while for detaining him in bed when he ought to | have been attending to the business of their planta | lion. Oil another occasion, as they were passing up the t road, a gentleman inquired of them where they were going?whereupon Mr. Eng replied, -I am go ing over the Blue Kidge in astage;' at the same in stant Mr. Chung, looking over his shoulder, replied with an arch smile, '1 ain going back home to look alter our wives and children.' When questioned about their mother some time since by an acquain tance, they staled, that they had formerly received letters from her, but latterly they had heard no ti dings of her, and even if they were to receive let ters from Iter written in the Siamese language, they would not be able to read them, as they have for gotten their mother tongue. They are excellent hands to carry up a corner of a log house?exceeding all their neighbors in cut ting saddles and patches in corner logs?both of them Wielding the axe with a power and dexterity superior to any of the most expert wood-cutters in this wooden country. When t ey chop or fight, they do so double handed; and in driving a I.orse or chastising their negroes, both of them use the lash without mercy. A gentleman who purchased a black man a short time ago from them, inform, d the writer ho was ?the worst whipped negro he ever saw.' They are invetetate smokers and chewers of tobacco?each chewing his quid and smoking his own pipe; it has been remarked, however, in support of the sympa thy supposed to prevail throughout their systems, that as a general rule, when one takes a fresh quid, the other docs the same. It is also generally ad mitted that there is a marked difference in the sys tems and temperaments of the gentlemen, but still they almos* invariably draw the same inference from topics submitted to theii considerations, and arrive at similar conclusions. Mr. Eng not unfre quently gives serious ofTence to Mr. Chang, by jes ting him about his having one more child than he has. When shooting, (a sport they are very fond of,) one sights or takes aim. and the other (it it said) pulls the trigger; now if this be true, it would go lar to prove the doctrine of supposed sympathy ex isting between the brothers, but it is questioned by most of the neighbors. They readily admit and acknowledge themselves to entertain a strong Christain faith or belief, and are regular attendants at church and other religiuus meetings, where they deport themselves as becomes good citizens of the land of their adoption. They are strong politicians, and take a lively interest in all elections that oouur in their district. As the writer was informed by a lady of Mount Airy, 'they are mighty stay at home people'?rarely over go ing from home unless called away by business.? (rrecnaLoro* (A'. C.) Patriot, j (D""I entered a log school-house once, where a 'Debatin' Society' was holding forth upon the ques tion; 'If a man saw his wife and mother in the wa ter drowning, which should he help first/ The question was considered with animation upon both sides for awhile, when a 'backwardness' began to manifest itself. The president desired the deba ter, 'if they had anything to say, to continue on.' After a pause, a peaked-looking man in the back part of the house got up and said, with considera ble diffidence and embarrassment: "Mr. President I think if a man saw his mother and wife in the water drowing, he ought to help his mother out first; because, you see, if his wife did get drowned he could get another one, bnthe couldn't get an other mother, not easy!' This settled the question and the verdict accordingly!'?Knickerbocker.
