The Wheeling Bridge. The Pittsburgbers are attempting to press the spavined decree, before the Supreme Court, not liking to die witbeut a struggle. It is hard on them to be foiled, but they must recollect that the law makers are the sovereigns and that they have spoken for the bridge and all good citizens should ?acquiesce' in the voice of the people ex pressed through their representatives. The case will hardly be taken up this term of the Court.? At the next term, possibly out of respect merely, the Court will pro lorma hear the 'ranters' in sup port of their motion and then let the matter die away as quietly and silently as possible. Well, if people must die, it is well enough to let them choose the time, place and manner, and as Pitts burgh can thus have a little more cooling off time, we are content to leve her final Exodus in her own hands. She ought to pay the costs, however, and probably will, by way of securing a decent re treat. Baltimore and Ohio Rail Road. It has Of ea said that the B. and O. R. R. was completed to Wheeling, indeed a celebration a short time since took place of the coming in of the cars to Wheeling. We have announced the run ning of New Steamers, and it is said they are in connection with the above Rail Road, but there must be some error in this as there is no advertise ment in the Wheeling Intelligencer or Gazette of anyrunning of the cats. We have been induced to this examination by several inquiries, and have been surprised at the result. If public travel is needed, then tbey should be informed through the press. If the cars run regularly from Wheeling, will the press at that place advise us. We extract the above from the Cincinnati Ga zette, and aresuiprised it. In all our papers pub lic notices have been given, and are still contin ued, of the daily running of the cars from this place. A passenger train leaves this place daily at i to 6, A. M-, and one arrives here every after noon, so that passengers can safely depend on leaving this city daily for Baltimore at the hour above indicated. The freight trairs have not yet made permanent arrangements, and will not for a short time, as the Pettibone Tunnel is not quite finished, and heavy freight cannot be conveniently catTied over the summit on the steep grades. JjrWe observe that some action has been had upon a bill at Richmond amending our city char ter and have been asked to what it refers. Not being informed on the subject we cannot respond, but suppose it is sjmething for making more avail able the rights already granted under the char ter. jj-Tlie following is an ntract from a letter from one of our delegates in the Legislature, and al though not intended for publication it will no doubt be interesting to our readers: "I have been completely engrossed, day and night, the contest going on in the House of Deltgnt- s with reference to the Pittsburgh and Steubeuvilie right of way, on which I have had, together with my colleagues, to act so responsible a part. Our adversaries were very sanguine inthe hope of beating us by a large majori'y, but on yes terday, after an excited debate, thebill was reject ed by a vote of more than two to one. "We entered upon the contest with some anxie ty as to the result, but at every sttp of the dis cussion we gained over some adversaries, or con vinced >ome neutrais, or infuseu new new zeal in to our friends, until at last, I verily believe that if nobody had been committed by previous promi ses, there would not have beeu ten votes against us. "Nearly every one seeemed to rejoice at our success. It was in fact a Waterloo victory, per fectly overwhelming. Our majority would have been larger il the House had been full. When we remember that there was a score of well paid agents operating against us, and among them some of the most prominent men in the State, and that iog rolling bad been attempted without scruple and withont stint, the tesultmust be regarded as most honorable to the body who could resist and spurn such influences. 1 shall always think the better of our good old State for this exhibition of purity and independence in the Legislative body." Great Gathering or tub Hyde Family.?There was a large gathering of all bearing the name of Hyde, or connected with the family by maniage, on the I6tb, at the Uuited Stales Hotel, Boston, to raise means to send an agent to England, to ex amine records there for the purpose of ascerl ain ing whether or no they (the HyJes of this country) are heirs at law to the large estates and unclaimed dividends, in the Bank of England, and unclaimed dividends in the Eist India stocks, which have been laying there years.awaiting claimants. There have been advertisements in the London Times several times in the last fifty years, for heirs to the abovenamodestates and dividends, which amount in the aggregate to several millions of dollars.? There were nearly three hundred present, coming from all parls^f the United States; a finance com mittee ivasjsnoeen, and a liberal amount was sub scribed fopthe furtherance of the above projects. Discovery or Gold ix ViaaixiA.-We learn from the Lynchburg (Va.) Express that a lew days ago a party of hunter*, engaged in digging after a fox, which had burrowed in a cliff on Pine Creek dis covered a vtin of quartz mingled with a yellow mineral. A specimen of the mineral was sent t:i Mr. Scott, a silversmith, in Jacksonville, who after assa>ing it, pronounced it gold. The vein is eight feet wide, eleven inches thick, and of unknown length. A solid loot of the quartz will yield, upon an avenue, sixteen dollars. The fortunate owner of the cliff is Mr. J. Epperly. Sir You can find anythng in Prance except a blackguard. A Frenchman may be wicked but he is never vulvar. He may steal your watch, rob you of your pocket book or apply, "an iron tube" to your vest palters?he may do all this, but then it is with so much suavity that it robs the felony of all coarseness, and make you rather think throat-cut ting is an artistictic accomplishment. trrThe Cleveland Plaindealer says the real es tate speculation mania in Cleveland is experien cing somewhat of a decline Jupt now.

Ohio Whig State Convention. The Whig S ate Convention which assembled at the City Hall, yesterday, "says the Ohio State Journal of the 23d, was much more nunmerously attended than many of our friends anticipated. The firm, true, and unfiinching Whigs of the State were there. When such men as the veaer ableJohn Johnston, the old Indian agent, Ex-Gov ernor Bartley, Sea., &c., leave their homes to at tend a political convention of the true republi cans of the State, on the anniversary of the birth day of the Father of hi:i country, it is proof posi tive that our cherished .principlesjhave a vitality, a vigor, that cannot be crushed by one or two tem porary defeats, but will still exist, and, in a short time, become the controlling element, as it has for bo many years been, in the policy of our great and noble State. All that is valuable in our institu tions has received its impress from Whig policy? and time will show to our people the great mistake they made, when they transferred the political power of the State to the party that now controls all departments of it. Look at the Legislatuie and its doings. Are the people satisfied with them? Have they redeemed the loud sounding promises of "retrenchment and reform," upon the strength ol which they hare clambered into power? Have the expenses of legislation been reduced? Have the various departments of the government been managed better and cheaper tliau they were when the Whigs had the control of af fairs? Have not t:iese men demonstrated again, as they did from 1841 to 1845, that they have nei ther the capacity nor integrity to manage the af fairs of the State as they should be, and as the people have a right to expect they will be manag ed? The same rouud will be run now, and the same results will be inevitable, that followed then. The people, the tax payers, the intelligent men of the State have got about enough of the humbug promises, and adverse performances of our oppo nents. The Convention yesterday, afforded one evidence of these results. The Dollar Mark. In the Merchants illigazine were published sev eral statements as to the origin of the dollar (8) mark. A correspondent of the N. O. Commercial Times publishes the following from a correspon dent, and expresses the opinion that it is the most likely to solve the difficulty. Here it is:? 1 have observe in the several public prints, late ly, some amusing attempts to make a mystery out of a very simple matter?i mean the dollar mark, or prefix. The true derivation of it is the figure 8. The Spaniards, from v.homwe derive the dollar, coant by reals?as the French do by francs. A real is in value twelve and a half cents, or one-eight part of a dollar. Any one who has read Gil Bias or Don Quixotte, will recollect the phrase "piece of eight" which is frequently used by the authors of those works. This term, then, means nothing more than a dollar, or 8 reals. When, therefore, the dollar became generally used, the figure 8 was prefixed to express dollars, and in the process of time the 8 has been changed to the present mark. It has been asserted, but I know not wheth er correctly or not, that General Hamilton first used this m?rk, soon after the adoption of our cur rency cf dollars and cents. However this may be, the figure 8 is, no doubt, the original of the mark, and the derivation I have given above the correct one." We take the above from an exchange. We have always understood that our present dollar mark was a contraction of "Un-ted States," and we be lieve it was never used until after the formation of the United States Government. France had her francs (F,) England herpounds (?), and itbecame necessary that when figuies were used to denote sums of money that signs should be attached to designate the currency, and consequently the value of the figures used. In speaking of the currency of the United States, the Roman letter "U S," were used, which, in course of time became blend ed together and form the mark now used to denote dollars. Take your pen and make the Roman let'.er "U" on a piece of paper, then turn the sheet to the rigi.t, one fourth the way round, and make the Roman letter "S" on top of the U, and you have not only our prtsent dollar sign, but also its origin. Freaks or the Telegraph.?Some eight or ten days since, one of our commission merchants, Mr. F. P. Chiles, received a telegraphic disputch from a gentleman in the interior of North Carolina, ask ing "what was the price of dried pears" in St. Louis. A reply was returned, that because of the scarcity they were held at a high figure?we be lieve, at 8 to 10 cents ptr pound. For the moment the correspondence ceased, but shortly after, Mr. Chiles received a second message from the Caroli nian, which stated that he had bought and shipped him for sale 250 bushels of the article. Now, a very slight mistake in a commercial correspondence may effect a very gseat mischief, and since errors occasionally in a single and direct transmission of a dispatch, it is but natural that they should also at times creep in messages, that, starting form the interior of North Carolina, are raised from one office to anothe through New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, and the remainder ol the telegraphery chapter. The quarter of a thousand bushels of dried pears, moreove.', is a large item in the ac counts of a country dealer; so for further advice, the correspondence was re-opened, when it was discovered that the Carolinian had all this while been wanting information on the price of "dried peas," and that 250 bushels of peas had actually been shipped under the pleasurable impression that they would bring from 8 to 10 cents per pound.? The letter R, when alone, is not objectionable, but when it crowds itself, as in this instance, in a word where it has no business, it may become a rascally impostor. But the telegraph occasionally committs enormous "ins, and this is one of its peca dillos.?St. Louis Union.

Death or Joum Freret.?Our whole city was yesterday startled by the announcementof the sud den death of our well known and highly respected fellow-citizen, John Frerel. In the morning he had bestowed his usual faithful and industrious attention upon his business, be dined with his family, and immediately after was seized with the fatal attack, which has darkened a home and commanded the general respect and sympathy of the community. The brothers Freret are and must be always con sidered a part of the history of New Orleans. In every public enterprise they have stood with the foremost. With lyicalculatiug liberality, they have employed their means iu aiding others, and the tomb which receives one of them takes an honored and useful member from society.?N. O. Crescent, Feb, 8.

Asa Sbinn, who was for many years a highly es teemed clergyman in this city, and who died at Brattleboro, Vermont, on the 11th inst., at the age of 72 years, will move to-day from the residence of his family on North Common. The Rev. Geo. Brown of the Methodist Protestant Church, Alle Cibeny, will deliver a funeral discourse in that building, at half past ten o'clock Pills.

Putnam's Mont ly and t ie Dauphin. Simultaneously with the publication of the in teresting article in Putnam's Monthly, setting forth the facts and circumstances which tend to prove that the Rev. Mr. W;lliaus, of the Episcopal Church, is Louis XVII. of France, we .received a couple of volumes from Paris, entitled Louis XVII., Hit Life, Hit Agony, Hit Death, by M. A. de Beauchesne. A translation of these volumes is in the j.ress of D. Arrueros & Co., of New York, and no doubt wilt be very much sought af ter by the mystery-mongering community. The author has been engaged ou this work rome twenty years, and states his very decided beli-fas the result of his investigation that the Dauphin died in the Tempte at the age of ten years two months and twelve days. Wc find in the Literary World, a journal that keeps usuu cowant with the literary gossip of the day, several extracts from these volumes, one of which thus describes the death of the Dauphin as reported to M. oe Hkau chesne, as reported to bim by Gomin, one of the garaient du temple: DEATH OF THE DAUPHIN. "Gomin observing the child calm, motionless, and silent, said to him: 'I hope you are not suffer ing at present.' 'Oh yes, I am suffering, but much less; the music is so sweet.' "There was no musio either in the tower or in the neighborhood; no noise from without at this moment reached the chamber where the young martyr was dying. Gomin, surprised, asked him: ?Wheredo you hear the music?' "From on high.' 'How long since?' "Since you have been on your knees. Don't you hear it? Listen! Listen!'? And the child raised his failing nrm, and opened his large eyes, lighted up with ecstacy. His poor guardian, not wishing to destroy this sweet and heavenly illusion, set himself to listen also with the pious desire of hearing what could not be heard. "After some moments o( attention, the child started again, his eyes glistened, and he exclaimed in an inexpressible transport: 'In the midst of all the voices I heard my mother's.' "This word seemed, as it fell from the orphan's lips, to remove all his pain. His contracted brows expanded, and his countenance brightened up with that ray of serenity which gives assurance of deliverance or victory. With his eye fixed upon a vision, his eat listening to the distant music of one of those conctrts that human ear has never heard, there appeared to spring forth in his child's aoul another existence. "An instant afterwards the brilliancy of his eye became extinguished, he crossed his arms upon his breast, and an expression of sinking showed itself upon his face. "Gomin observed him closely, and followed with an anxious eye every moment. His breathing was no longer painful; his eye alone seemed slowly to wander, looking from time to time towards the window. * * * Gomin asked him whatit was he was looking at in that direction. The child looked at his guardian a moment, and although the question was repeated, he seemed net to under stand it, and did not answer. "Lasne came up from below to relieve Gomin: the latter went out, his heart oppressed, but not more anxious than on the evening before, for he did not expect an immediate termination. Lasne took his seat near the bed; the Prince rega:ded him for a long time with a fixed and dreamy look. When he made a slight movement, Lasne asked him how he was, and if he wanted anything?? The child said: -Do you think that my sister has heard the music? Iiow happy it would have made her!' Lasne was unable to answer. The eager and penetrating look full of anguish of the dying child darted towards the window. An exclama tion of happiness escaped his lips; then looking to wards h:s guardian, he said: *1 have one thing ;o tell you.' * * * Lasne approached and tock his hand; the little head of the prisoner fell upon his guardian's brtasl, who listened to him, but in vain. His last words had been spoken. God had spared the young martyr the agony of the dying rattle, God had kept for himself the last thought of the child. Lasne put bis hand upon the heart of the child; the heart of Louis XVII. had ceased to beat. It was half-past two o'clock in tl.eafttr noon." 31 de Beauchesne knew Gomin and Lasne, the two last guardians of the dauphin, and received fiom them each a cer ilicate, confirming his ac count of the prince's death. Fac similes of thess original papers are given. Teitimony of Gomin. Monsieur de Beauchesne: Nothing can be more true than what you have written in regard to the last moments of the dauphin, his conversations, and his death. You have also done justice to my sentiments, and I thank you for it with all my heart . Receive, &c., Gomin. Paris, April 23, 1810. Testimony of Lame. Monsieur de Beauchesne : As I have always said, and always will say, I declare here upon ray honor, and before God, that the son of Lous XVI. died in my arms, in the tower of the Temple.? They are nothing but impostors who pretend the contrary. I had often seen the unfortunate dau phin at the Tuileries, and I perfectly recognised him in his prison. You have perfectly recalled all the details I gave yoy, the account of which that you have drawn up and have read to me, is most scrupulously exact.

Children at Play.?We clip the following from the Cincinnati Times: "Great Humanity.?Mr. Death, the faithful steward of the Commercial Hospital, was weighed on yesterday, and balanced three hundred pounds with ease. He is in all probability the heaviest man in the State, and, if it were not for the fat womau at the comer of Sixth and Walnut, we would say that he was the heaviest person. Mr. Death called on the aforesaid lady yesteiday af ternoon, and while she was standing up, he slyly slipped into her chair, and immediately received the ponderous woman in his lap. She played the coquette a little, and appeared slightly embarrass ed, but Death held her tightly in his grip! He de clared that although it would lake two men like himself to 'hug' her, yet he was willing to bet fifty dollars that she would not outweigh two sucli men. No one took that bet; but'you can bet ye r life' that the visitors present were more amused at the drama, than at anything they could have bought with a dime, or even a dollar. Indian Justice.?At Weston, Mo., on the 10th of December last, a young Indian by the name cf JohnCuon, aged 15 years, killed, with an iron po ker, a boy named Curtis Punch, aged 16 years.?

Work in thq JOarden. I Every fann should have its well appointed and well-stored garden. If well calculated, it may be the most profitable part cf the farm. Hut in dependent of this consideration, it is sucli a fruit ful source of comfort and luxury to one's family, I that no man, who properly considered upon the subject, would hesitate a noment in providing such a one as would reflect credit upon himself, and be the pride of the female members of his family. It should have in it dwarf pears of the best and most choice varieties. Quinces, Currants, Raspberries, Gooseberries, Grapes, Strawberries, flowers of various kinds, and all the best kinds of vegetables?and, in order lo raise early plants, it should be well provided with hot-beds. These need not be extensively constructed but may be cheaply mode, as is shown below. Formation of hot beds.??Make a frame with plank 12 feet long, 4 feel broad, the back as high again as the front, to give the top a slope to the sun?make a top, fixed with leather or iron hinges over this nail thick cotton, which must be oiled; this done your l.ot bed frame is compl- ted. The next thing is to make the hot bed, which can be dene thus?fork over as much horse manure, mix ed with litter, as will answer, put it in a heap and let it remain a week or ten days; then place your frame 011 a northern border facing the south, then put in twelve inches of dung, let it settle for a day or so, then put mould on it 6 inches dtcp, rake it ovenlyf>aiul you may then sow your seed, as Cab bages, Cauliflowers, Broccoli, Letluce, Tomatoes, Egg plants, &c. Put the ground down with the back of your spade or hoe, then lower down the top within half an inch of the front, so as to let off the steam from the dung. In mild weather raise the top in mid-day, lowering it in the evening.? If the weather is very severe, cover with mats, or old carpets, &c., of a night. Assoon as the plants appear raise the top to admit fresh ait. If the earth becomes dry, give the plants, occasionally, a little water in the warmest part of the day. Such a hot bed frame as we have described miy farm hand can make, and as its cost is trifling we do hope that every owner of a country garden, who has not done so nlreaoy, will possess himself of one. One of the dimensions we have name, will grow plants enough to furnish a garden half an acre in extent, if the apportionment of different kinds of plants be judiciously made. Sewing Cabbage Seed.?Having shown you how you can prepare a cheap hot-bed, we will name the kinds lo sow therein, any time between the 1st and 20th of this month, if you desire a con tinuoussupply throughout the season, Early York, Large York, Early Nonpareil, Eaily Vanack, Early liattersea. Early Sugar l.oafand the Drumhead.? A few inches square sowed in each of these kinds will give you plants enough to carry you through the season. Tomatoes.?Any time between the 10th and last of this month the seeds of tomatoes may be sown. Salsafy seed may be also sown, to be drawn for transplantation to get an early suyply, between the 10th and last of the month. Egg Plant seed may be sown at the same time as the above. Lettuce Seed.?These may also be sown any time after the 10th of the month. Sowing Celery Seed.?Any time after the mid dle of this month you may prepare a part of a warm border, facing the south, and sow Celery seed in the open air. Manure the ground highly, rake fine, sow the seed, rake and press the earth down with the back of your spade. Spinach may be sown any time after the 20th of this month, in open culture?recollect the grouud must be highly manured, nicely Cug and raked. Carrots, Parsnips and Meets.?A few rows of these for early use may be sown in open culture whenever the frost will admit of spading and pre paring the ground. Early Peas.?The tmeto sow early peas is the frost is outof the ground. , Raspberry and Grape Vines should be (pruned and tied up early in this month. Flowering Shrubs may be set out as early as the ground can be worked.?Bait. Fanner. Bennet'a Portrait. An editor should never have his portrait taken? that is settled. He should eschew oitists and avoid daguerreotype men. His frontispiece to canvass should never be transferred. As an instance of what one suffered by neglecting this admonitiun read the following description of Bennet of the New Yoik Herald by Prentice of the Louisville Journal:?"Bennet"s portrait is terrific. Such a thing ought never to be painted or daguerreotyp ed. It ought to be considered a penal offence to make anything so dreadful and so revolting to all our ideas of propriety. No man has a right to monopolize so much ugliness. If Bennet's ugli ness could be distributed over a thousand faces, it would make each of them intensely, hatefully ug ly. He ought not to be permitted to go into the street without a blanket over his awful frontis piece. No wonder that so manyof the New York children die of convulsions, since Bennet is per mitted to walk abroad with uncovered face. We once heard of a man's face that was so ugly that it was placed on andirons for the purpose of fright ening children from the fire with much effect No child dared to approach the andirons, and the liability to combustion from such cause was great ly lessened. If Bennet's ugly likeness was stamped on stamped on fire-places,the effect would be decidedly bad, for the children would not dare to go near enough to the fire to keep warm, and would become frost-bitten and perhaps Irozen to death. We cannot conceive of any reason why anything should be as ugly as Uennet. He is ug lier than a half-starved hyena. He is ugliness perfected. There is a thoroughness about his ug liness which defies competitioh. When Mirabeau described himself as a tiger that had the small pox, he placed a very ugly idea in evetybody's mind, but it was beautiful when comnitred with Ben net's face WhenApelles made*%is beauty, his Venus, he took an eye from one woman, a nose from another, a mouth from a third, and so on un til the VenuB was complete :n more than earthly beauty. Now if any Apelles, or artist of any ap pellation, wished to make the most habitnally per fect representation of ugliness, he would not be compelled to take features from several very ugly persons: but all be would be compelled to do wc.uld be to get Bennet's face and the enterprise would be accomplished." of thi Feb^ Yrlr*l?lai?At Rules held In the clerk'*-offic. c V circuit Court or Ohio county, In tho mouth or ruirr. 18W Michael Fadden i vs. , f '* ""*?
