WEEKLY, per annum, .... $1 <><) ?W HEELING, V A MONDAY MORNING, MARCH 7, 1853. Pittsburgh Efforts to Injure our Trade. We aie somewhat surprised at looking over the columns of the Pittsburgh Journal, to find that its editor, the Mayor of Pittsburgh, has seen fit to lend himself to the efforts. to detract from the mer its of the line of travel, now afforded to the pub l.c through our city, by way o. the Baltimore and Ohio Rail Road and the Union Line, to Baltimore. U e had supposed that the editor of that very re spectable journal, (the best we thinkof the Pitts burgh papeis,) would have found it inconsistent with the very lespectable position which he holds as a member of the Whig party, and also as Mayor of so large a city as Pittsburgh, to lend himself to tin: contemptible efforts made to prejudice the traveling public against the Baltimore line, via. hetliog. In this we have been mistaken, but we still have charity enough to believe that the Ed-.tor of the Journal has been deceived in the representations which have been made him about the "zig zags'' to which he alludes in his letter ol Fel,. 26th, on board the Keystone State. Before proceeding to notice his letters, we will make a plain statement of the facts, as we unuer* stand them, pertaining to the Baltimore and Ohio ltail Road from Wheeling. There is only one part of the road unfinished; namely the Pettibone Tunnel, which will be completed, we learn, in a few days, and the hill, over that tunnel, is passed by means of the "zigzags" to which the Journal so Irequtntiy alludes. The passage over this hill is effected by means of a track m the fonn of a Y, up which the cats are propelled by powerful en gines, occasioning a delay of about 20 minutes at that point. This is the only delay point on the road. The cars arrive in Wheeling Irom Baltimore in time lor the Line boats down the river, and leave Wheeling daily, regularly for Baltimore at 15min utes before 7 o'clock, A. M. The ears from Balti more arrive generally between five and seven o clock, P. M. This is the plain statement ol facts as to the B. & O. R. R, upon which travelers can rely. In case of delay, which happens some times here, as elsewhere, the time may vary, but we state the time as it generally is. So much for the road and its accommodation for travel, which is always ample for all travel, and in a very short time will be suited to the utmost demands of trade. As soon as the Pettibone tunnel is completed, this road will be prepared to carry the many tons of freight now waiting in our city for an eastern transit. We come now to the letter of the Mayor of Pittsburgh. In the first place, there is but one "temporary portion" in the B. & 0. 1{. R., and that is the tunnel before referred to, and so far from that tunnel "by its frightful and perilous as pect positively driving travel from this road," we have never met with a traveler over this line, who did not consider the passage over the tunnel as one ot the most grand and interesting scenes of travel. The ascent, beins; over 400 feet to the mile, is effected in a manner well calculated to arrest the attention and command the admiration of all, who are willing to admire the triumphs of art over the impediments of nature, and the meth od of passing this mountain may justly be claimed as an achievement, wormy of notice, among the many achievements of the distinguished engineer of the j!reat Baltimore improvement. As to the facts stated by the editor, of "passenger's being driven to avoid this route" we doubt not he is correct. Our paper has before alluded to the mis representations, used by the hireling agents of the Pittsburgh boats, to induce travelers to abandon this route and go byway of Pittsburgh, and it is not surprising that travelers, ever anxious to avoid difficulties should be deceived by such falsehoods, especially as our road and our line have no runners to even enlighten the public on these questions, as we are perfectly willing that travelers should male tile experiment, via. Pittsburgh, if they see proper. As to Mr. Menager and Mr. Northrup, we have nothing to say, except that we have known some venerable old gentlemen, who would not travel on railroads at all, and others, who would be terrified to death i.t the bare sound of the whistle. To such we would commend u trip over the inclin ed planet anil Jtat rails of the Pennsylvania Cen tral Rail Road, and would also commend to ship pers, to pass their goods through Pittsburgh in or der that the commission merchants may have an opportunity r{ tolling ther goods in their passage, especially since we perceive,(tht- ugh the Journal,) that the question of allowing the C. R. R. Co. to ship through, has become so important that if de cided affirmatively, "many of the Pittsburgh com mission merchants will leave Pittsburgh," and we may also state that no such fellers have been plac ed on the hands of the Baltimore & O. R. R. Com pany, and that shippers may make their own terms here. We doubt not but that Mr. Northrup was not fully reported and that when he said "the road bad a desperate ugly look," he meant to have added the words "to Pittsburgh." His "practical comment" was doubtless induced by the misrepre sentations to which we have alluded, and lie suf fered himself to be deceived by Pittsburgh agents, hired to mislead travelers desirous of laking this line. The editor need not have stated the proprie ty of the Pittsburgh boat owners drawing to them selves the trade off this line, as they seem already fully aware of the importance of such effort, and perfectly reckless of the means by which they ac complish the end proposed, and that they spare no effort to magnify the "dangerous look," "Alpine grades" and "zig zags" which they slate, exist on the Baltimore and Ohio Rail Road. We are willing for travelers to make the comparison, and if the one hill, over which our cars pass, without pulleys, by the power of art and science, is more insurmountable than the "inclined planes," and our U rail less pleasant than the "flat bar," then they should go by way of Pittsburgh. Let them try the two rou's, and judge for themselves. After making some apparently candid admissions as to the style and capacity of ourboals, the editor fairly descends into the lower deck range and participates in the feelings which animate the deck hands.? He devotes about one third of his letter to the re lation of the performance of "Ibis same Thomas Siva mi," whose hands it seems, were entertained at the Swann's passing the Keyctone and who put forth a "dreadful yell of triumph &e," which must have grated on the nerves of the sensitive Mayor of the city of Pittsburgh. Never having partici pated in the defeats of a boat race, we cannot enter into the leelings of the Journal and must leave him to hisown enjoyment or chagrin. But at this point the editor is approaching the Wheeling Bridge, and his feelings being so con centrated on the "green bottle" which is hanging over the Ohio River, and in the noses of the in habitants of Pittsburgh, and he drops off in his tirade, after telling of the wise remarks of a lady on his boat "who would have decided the Thomas Swanu to be a floating theatre &c, with a set drunken rowdic-s nboa.d." It not unfrequently happens that persons judge, of others by the com pany with which they are associated, and the com pany of "drunken rowdies" may have suggested to this inuocent young girl the idea that ail steam Doats weie filled like that on which she was? 'J /.is is a pardonable error in her case, thoueh v e cannot but regret the continued manifestation on ihe part of the Journal, to drag private remarks into his journal, as we do not presume for a mo ment, that the "little lady" in question thought for a moment that she was speaking for the press, when she expressed her little sentiments, which have made so indellible an i * pression on the Edi tor of the Journal. But we wait anxiously for the Wheeling Bridge letter, and hope it may be more worthy of the editor than his last, and that he will not overtax his powers, either physical cr mental, at the sight of the hideous "green bottle." Tempest in a Teapot. The following which we publish from the Ma rietta Intelligencer, shows the Steubenville dele gate in a boiling condition. Still we hope the lit tie boiler will not explode, but continue to let off steam as in the present instance. Whether "self-preser vation" means the annexat*on of the Pan-handle "village" and all we cannot say, but we beg leave to suggest to the delegate from the great City that we Virginians are beleivers in the "Monroe doc trine," and cannot allow a "foreign power" to col onize our State. If Mr. Means can devise means to "defend" his City, not from an attack (as one would suppose, from his "defence," made by us upon them,) but from our repulse of their attack;? we shall be happy to take the means into consid eration. He does not state whether the means should be novel, great, or small. We shall an xiously await the progeny of this mountain partu rition, though it may be that the old adage will have to be transposed to suit this case and mons masciter will be the fruits of the mouse's labor. Ohio vs. Virginia In the House of Representatives, on Saturday last, "Mr. Means presented a letter from the Presi dent oftheSteubenville and Indiana Railroad Com pany, in relation to the action of the Virginia Gen eral Assembly, on the subject of the right of way of the Pittsburg and Steubenville Railroad, and asked that it be referred to a select committee of five, se lected from different portions of the Stat4-." In making this motion, Mr Means stated the facts in regard to the Legislation oi Virginia upon the subject. Our readers most of them understand that it is a case precisely like that by which the N. W. Virginia road was, a couple of years ago, prohibi ted, at the instigation of Parkersburg, from build ing a road that should strike the Ohio river nearer than twelve miles to Marietta. Mr. Means conclu ded his remarks as follows: "It is now quite time that we should determine whether we have not the principles and the power of self-preservation, and whether or not the State of Ohio, hitherto so liberal, so Democratic in her policy in reference to internal improvements, is to sit idly by and see a village on the Eastern shore of the Ohio, by swaying the Assembly of Virginia, injure, and as far as possible, destroy, t>e useful ness of an enterprise in which one-fourth of the people of the State have the porfoundest interest." Means can certainly be devised to defend our selves from the results of such contemptable and tyrannical conduct; and I ask the appointment of a committee which will represent the great inter ests cf this State, and to confer on this subject. The letter was so referred, and the Committee was accordingly appointed, viz:?Messrs. Means, Lytle, Haley, Shellabarger and Huges." Mountain Candidate vs. River Candidate. We are in receipt of the Richmond Enquirer ol March 1st, containing the correspondence of Mr. C. Horton of Preston, and Messrs. G. W. Clutter, andJ.T. Martin, on the Blacksville Resolution, that "indiscreet and perhaps fatal error" of Mr. Clemens. Mr. Clutter considers the resolution as referring to the candidates, and not the represen tatives, which therefore, concedes the next candi date to the "Mountains." Mr. C. considering the terra of Judge Thompson, as the four year term of the River counties. Mr. Martin "was from the be ginning opposed to the introduction of any such arbitrary rule, &c." "He called on the delegates from the mountain counties, to know whether their people intended to press their claim to the candi dacy at the next regular term," before Mr. Clem ens was nominated, "and being answered in the affirmative, he (M.) inlormed his friends that he would not become a candidate for one session only &c." He hopes the convention "will satisfactori ly arrange the difficulty and then expungethe resv.1 u'ion &c." Upon the whole we fear Mr. C's. prospects are getting darker, and his career, if not glorious, will be brief. We still think the River counties entitled to the "representativebut if Mr. C. t!oes not hasten home, he will find more active efforts from Marion, considerably in advance of him. Telegraphic.?We understand H.K. Peck, esq., now of Maysvi.le, Ky., has been appointed Super intendent of the Eastern Division of the N. O. & O. Telegraph Liue. hence to Wheeling. His prac tical knowledge as an operator, together with the energy he possesses, will give a new impulse to this section of the line. We have received some apples which have the peculiarity of being very sweet on one side and wholly sour on the other.?Paw tucket Citron. An incorrigible bachelor, says the Boston Mail, now in the act of looking over our sholder, suggest they take the nau-e of matrimonial apples. Meauiier in Philadelphia.?An interesting in cident, cunnecteil with the late lecture of the elo quent Irishman in the Quaker City, is thus descri cribed by a correspondent of one of the New York papers: "Mr. Meagher u'as introduced to the audience by the Hon. John Binn s, a rebel of '93, who was im prisoned in the Tower or London with Arthur O' Conner, and came to this country by virtue of the amnesty. Mr. Binns is in his eighty-first year, witn a tine heal'hy and hearty look, and an active unclouded intellect. But his love for poor Ireland is as strong to-day as it was half a century ago. "I cannot attempt to describe the effect his in troduction of Meagher produced. 'I aking Meagher by the hand with much emotion, with locks of sno;\, said: "Let an Irish rebel of 1798 introduce to this meeting an Irish rebel of 1848." The scene which followed the enumeration of this simple but powerful sentence, it is not in my power to give the faintest outline of." O^The New Jersey Senate just now has under consideration a bill relative to habitual drunkards, of a very stringent character. Among ott^er pro v'sions, one to appoint guardians to take chaige of the propeity of habitual drunkards in the same way as is done in the case of lunatics. On the death of the habitual drunkard the property is to go to his heirs?but in case he reform it will revert to his own management as before. No contracts habit ual drunkards make relative to real or personal estate are to be binding after a writ to appoint guardians shall have been issued. It is also pro vided that no process shall issue in answer to peti tions from a wife against her husband, or by a child against his or her parents. Inn-keepers are to re ceive notice not to furnish habitual drankards with liquor, and penalties are prescribed for a violation of the order. The Collison.?The investigation of the causes of the late collision has been closed. The follow ing we copy from the Cincinnati Gazette of Wed nesday: The investigation of the collision case between the Pittsburgh and Falls City, in which J. White pilot, and John Shaefler, engineer of the former, | and Jeremiah Mason, pilot, and Clennnt B. Mar thens, engineer of the latter, were parties, was con- 1 eluded Monday before the local inspectors of ths district. The additional testimony of Isaac Bryson, one of the pilots of the Pittsburgh, and that of John Al exander, second mate, John Clark, watchman, J. Maddis, assistant engineei, and Wm. H. Cecil, se cond clerk of the Falls City, were severally taken, and the decision will be given by the inspectors to day. 0~A requisition has been made by the Gov ernor of Arkansas on the Governor of Texas, for Col. A. E. Thornton, who is now a citizen of Galvaston, where he has lived for the last two or three years, highly respected and esteemed by all who have become acquainted with him. This requisition, as we learn, is grounded on a charge of forgery, during the time Col. T. held the office of Fiscal Receiver of the State Bank of Arkansas, while thfct institution was in liquidation, some six or eight y?.?ars ago. Railroad Collision.?The locomotive Law rence/on the Ohio and Pennsplvania Railroad, came in collision with a two-horse wagon near Can ton, on Friday, completely destroying the wagon, and causing the death of the driver. The horns on the locomotive, and the iron railing were torn away?Pitts. Oax. 28th. Baltimore Correspondence. Baltimore, March 3, 1853. I was over in Washington yesterday and return ed to Baltimore again in the evening. The Metro politan City is completely crowded with strangers from all parts of the country?not a room, nor scarcely a plank to sleep on, is to be had in one of the hotels. Office-seekers are herein abundance. It is amusing to see how suspiciously they look at each other. The countenances of each seem to say, in viewing a stranger?"Why friend you have come after the same office that 1 have: I don't know you, and don't want to. What business have you to interfeie with my arrangements?*' 1 was told that there were seven applicants, all pres ent, competing for a little S600 office, almost on the outside of creaticn. How many more were not present, I know not. Washington is full of rumors, one of which is that Mr. Wm. Ritchie of Virginia, who took n prominent part in the nomination of Gen. Pierce, is to get the Consulship at Liverpool. Gen. Piercu came to Uultimore last night. He was in the car with myself. I then saw him for the first time.? He is a young looking man?not n gray hair in his head. His person is about the medium size, ami neatly, but plainly dressed. There is a modest, unassuming demeanor about him which tends veiy much to win admiration. Without beiug told no one would suppose him to be the Presidentof th<> mighty Republic, holding the highest honors and highestoffice of the world. He seems desirous of avoiding show. Occasionally when a few syco phants (probably) clustered round him, he moved his quarters quietly, as if to indicate that he de sired privacy. I must say I was most favorably im pressed with his looks and deportment. Lily; my self he seems to luxu:ate in a good quid of tobacco. He was accompanied by Col. Caleb Cushing, an.l visited Baltimore, at this time, to see his wife, who was at the Eutaw House. They return to Wash ington to-day. The President elect appeared as', though he were in deep thought and had a load of; no ordinary weigh upon his mind. The Cabinet isarranged very much as you have seen it published. Our city is completely crowded with strangers en route for the Inauguration. They are passing- in from all points of the compass and by every con veyance. The cars and extra trains to Washing ton are overloaded. It is expected that not less than five thousand persons will go over to-morrow. There is considerable speculation as to who will get the prominent offices in Baltimore. There is scarcely a doubt that they will bo awarded to Ex Governor Thomas, Col. Jacob Davis, Beal II. Rich ardson, Editor of the Argus, and a few others.? Col. Davis will most likely get the Collectorship, Gov. Thomas the Post Office, and Richardson tl.e Survevorship. If so the appointments will bo very good. Amongst the minor office-seekers there wi 1 be a regular "Killkenny cat" fight. There are about fifty?yes, near one hundred applicants for every office, of course we may look for numerous disappointments, and expeet to hear loud denun ciations. Such is the fate of war. The law which prohibits the passing, receiving and issuing, by the banks of Maryland, of notes of a less denomination than S5, seems to be almost entirely disregarded. The actual necessity of the people of the community, seems to have given a license to their use, and persons pass and receive them the same as though there were no law pro hibitum it. Some of the banks, indeed, pay them out to their particular friends and customers as usual. Although there is a fine of five dollars for passing each note, and the informer is entitled to half the fine, yet no one has been called to account for ail offence which seeuis]alniost indispensable. No one here has the slightest apprehension in re ceiving this currency. It always commands spe cia when presented at bank. Business for a few days past has bean quiet.? Flour isdull.

Printers. Printers, it is said, universally die at an early age. I his is doubtless caused by the noxious ef fluvia arising from the types, the want of exercise cot rant confinement, and the late hour to which tlieu ivors is prolonged. There is no other class of human beings, whose privileges are as few whose labor is as continuous and whose wages axe as inadequate, as printers. If a "typo" be a man of family, he is debarred of the privilege of en joying their society at all times, because his hours of labor are almost endless, and l.is moments of leisure so few that they must be spent in sleep to recruit his exhausted energies, and prepare him for a renewal of his toils. Poor fellow, he knows nothing of sociability, and from necessity, is as clearly shut out from the world as a convict in u prison cell Truly he is in the world, ye. know" "'V, loll> toil, by night and day is Ins fate, until premature old age ends his existence. For the advancement of science, morality, and virtue, the cords of his heart are sundered, one by one, and when his race is run and lime to him is no more, he goes down to the grave uncared for, and for ih?T* existence has been sacrificed for the benefit of his race. When we hear mechanics crying out against op pression, and demanding certain hours for labor and for rest, we cannot but reflect upon the situa tion of our own craft; how every moment of their lives is forced into service to earn a bare subsis tence, and how uncomplaining they devote them selves to the good of that same public who wear them as a loose garment, to be donned when con venient, and doffed when no longer needed. re?n~e vnirrsniiy poor men>!,nd f?r two reasons. 1 he first is?they rarely ever receive a fair compensation for their services.

The unfinished business of the previous day be ing the motion of Mr. Barbour, to take up and con sider the bill amending the 10th section of chapter 57 of the Code of Virginia, the bill was taken up on motiun of Mr. Goode, of Bedford. On mot on of Mr. Echols, the bill was made the order of the day for March 1th.

House of Delegates?Ftb. 28.?The House of Delegates receded from their amendments to the Senate bill entitled an act to authorize the Courts of Equity to proceed to a final decree in certain ?uits without revival thereof as to partu s who die or marry, and agreed to the amendment proposed by the Senate to an act to macadamise the Morgantown Kingwood and West Union Turnpike. Several bills were reported from the committees, and the following parsed?a Senate bill incorpora ting a Building Association in or near the City of Richmond; a billextendin j the charter of the liar per's Ferry Saving Institution; a bill to increase the capital stock of the Morgantown and Bridge port Turnpike, toon amount not exceeding twelve thousand dollars, with a three-fifth subscription by the State; a bill to increase the Wythe Turnpike company; a bill to change the location of the Bev erley and Fairmont Turnpike; abillto extend the Jacksonville and ChristiauburgTurnpike; a bill to extend the time for constructing the Abingdon and Pattonville Turnpike. The act districting the State for Commissioner of the BonrU of Public Works, providing for their election, compensation, &c., was taken up. The provision for a salary of tico thossanU dollars a year was stricken out, and on motion of Mr. Townes, an amendment was added that no one of said Com missioners shall be interested or concerned either directly or indirectly in any contract authorized by any chartered company under the laws of Virginia, nor shall they be so interested in any contract au thorized by law as a State work. Mr. Yerby moved to fix the salary of each Com missioner at one thousand dollars per annum, and to provide for the payment of all necessary traveling expenses, not exceeding two hundred anil fifty dol lars, incurred in attending to the business of their office. A proposition was then made to fix the salary at twelve hundred and fifty dollars, and be fore the subject was disposed of, the House procee ded with the further execution of the order of the day, viz:?the bill to increase the capital stock of the Morgantown and Bridgeport Turnpike, (the same as reported above in the list of bilis passed.) The bill to authorize the Board of Public Works to subscribe to the increased capital stock ot the Mechanicsourg and Wythe Turnpike was voted up on, and not receiving but 75 ayes, it was rejected for want of a constitutional majority. The rules were suspended to reconsider the vote on this bill, and it was then laid on the tab.e. Spanish Nobility.?According to the Spanish law, daughters inherit titles ol nobility, and pre serve them not only while they retain their family name, but transmit them, in marrying, to their hus bands. Thus Napoleon 3d will receive the title of nobility from the head of MUe. Montijo's family.
