 Pennsylvania is sound to the core for General Jackson. Heneverhada a strong CT hold upon the affections of the people of this powerful State, than at the pres .ent moment. The Republican mem bers of the Legislature met last night in full convention, for the purpose of or ganizing the party, and expressing what they believed to be the sentiments of the State Tn relation to the course of the general administration. It is plain to every one, that nothing can tend more firmly to cement the bonds which unite the democratic family the Union, than an early knowledge that the President will consent again to. be candidate; |; and the Convention, under these inn pressions, proceeded immediately to ex- press its opinions and feelings on this subject.
 JouN BROWN, Esq. of the Senate, was President, and the Speakers, Messrs. HAWKINS, of the Senate, and SMITH, of the House, Vice Presidents.
 The following preamble and resolu- lions were adopted unanimously:
 Whereas, in the opinion of this meet ing, the policy and measures of the pre- sent administration of the General Go yernment, accord with the true inter- ests of the country, and are such as the friends of the present venerable and dis tinguished individual placed at the head ot the Government by the free and vol untary suffrages of the people, anticipa- ted and predicted, in the event of his success, and such as are not only approy- ed by his former friends, but by many who opposed his election. And where as, Pennsylvania was the first State in the Union to present the name of AN DREW JACKSON to the American people, as a candidate for the Presidency, it is right that she should be among the first to express her satisfaction at the pros perity and success of his administration.
 iherefore, be it gesofped, That, in the opinion of this meeting, the present administration of tine General Govern ment meets the cordial and decided ap- probation of the Democratic party, and of the people of Pennsylvania.
 Resolped, That in the opinion of tl 5 meeting, the unanimity and harmony of the great Democratic party of the U- nion will be greatly promoted, by again placing the name of ANDREW JACKSON before the people, as a candidate for re- election.
 "Ih addition to the above resolutions, adopted by the Conventions, a letter has been addressed to General Jackson, by the members, expressing, in the strong est terms, their appreciation of the "wise and iudicious republican measures" of his administration. Thus you see, my dear sir, that good old Pennsylvania has again boldly declared herself in favor of the Peoples Candidate, for the high est office in the world"

 Dreadful Hurricane.-Our town was. the day before yesterday, visited by a most violent tornado. It came on from the Southwest by the town. It's ravages to the north of us were most terrible. Upwards of twenty buildings were in amoment pfostrated-among lhemwere the Presbyterian Church, the Market House, Mr.John Hanilton's brick house. just built, and all in that vicinity, some Of which were the best in the town; the MethodistChurch and many other build lngslnthatquarter, were muehwrecked. Three children of MT. George Bell, merchant, late ofCincinnati, were killed. his wife and several grown persons much injured, the lives of some despaired of.
 The three children were carried from two to five hundred yards by the storm -one of them was seen flying forty or fifty feet high in the air--it was an in- faiit, torn from fhe orns of is mother, The house in which they were, was en- tirely demoIished-scarcely any yestige of 1t remains to be seen; the furniture was all destroyed; bureau was found half a mile from the house, dashed to pieces. he large family Bible of Mfr Mfr. Bell, was found fifteen miles Northeast ofthis place.!

Seoere Stoyne.-Early yesterday morn ing we were visited by one of the most violent storms thathas been experienced here since the destructive hurricane Of December, 1915. The wind blew a gale from N. E. accompanied with snow, which fell to the depth of about one foot on level. The storm continued to rage with great violence until noon, when 1t subsided. The tide rose to all unprecedented height, sweeping great quantities of merchandise, in hogsheads, barrels, and casks, from the wharYes, and filling the cellars of many of the stores and houses in the lower part of the city. On the ground floors of many of the stores, also, the water was several inches deep. Broad street in some parts of which, at one time, the water is sup posed to have been from one and half to two feetdeep. We aveheard no es- timate of the damage by this storm but it is stated by several respectable mer- chants that the tide has not risen so high for the period of 20 or 90 years.

l" Sailing on Land.'-We learn from the Charleston papers that the improve ment men of that vicinity have also made some experiments in the matter of saiI- ing on land. 4 sail was set on a car, placed on the Railroad, and fifteen gen tlemen got on board, and were waited at the rate of I2 to IA miles an hour. Afterwards thirteen persons ard three tons of iron were carried at the rate of about ten miles all hour. he wind blew very fresh: and "when going at the rate of about l2 miles an hour and loaded with fifteen passengers, the mast went by the board, with the sail and rigging attached, carrying Y, siise... several eE of the crew. The wreck was deserted by several friendly ship masters who kindly rendered assistance in rigging jury- mast, and the car was soon again put t,Il- der way. During the afternoon, the wind changed so as to bring it nearly a. head, when going in one direction, but this did not stop the sport, as it was as- eertained the car would sail within four points of the wind"

Chickasazo aud Choctasv Ladians.-W We were informed, several weeks since, by a person intimately acquainted with what is going on among these people, that confidential agent had actually been despatched from the latter tribe, with proposals to Government for the cession of their country. It was under stood that, if the terms were acceded to, to,similarproposals would beimmediate- lymade by the Chickasaws. Intruth, the twonations from contiguity andinternar- riage, have become so closely identified iii language, in habits, in manners, and in customs, that they could not well live apart from each other. 1t is therefore, extremely probable, that any steps taken by one of the tribes, will be immediate ly followed by the other.-Adp.

We have hitherto neglected to notice the vast tide of emigration which has been flowing into the Territory during the pre- sent year. It is subject of deep interest to our fellow citizens, and of no small in- teresf to the citizens of distant, as well as neighboring states.
 The emigration to the Territory, since the first of December last, has been greater than for the last three years; not only is every Steamboat crowded with cabin and deck passengers, but the roads also are lined with wagons, conveying families to the Eden Of Arkansas-as 1t is considered abroad-the counties of Washington and Crawford.
 Tn addition to this host ef actual ernieg5ra- tion, there are numerous parties of gentle men from almost every state south of Ma ryland. who have come to view the country preparatory to removing their families- and should they, on their return, make a favorable representation, many of their neighbors are ready to accompany them.
 It is deeply to be deprecated, by the ci- tizens of this place, that the Quapaw lands, in our vicinity, have not been surveyed with sufficient correctness, to admit of their being brought into market. Were they at tainable, they would be immediately occu- pied by wealthy planters.
 The present unexampled influx of popu- lation, points us to a period, not far distant, when our relation to the G General Govern ment, will be very different from what it is at present-when Arkansas shall be hailed as one of the independent communities of the Nation--when we will be able to show the General Government, that we have men, who are as capable, and will ill cur offices with as much dignity to themselves, and honor to the country, as those sent from neighboring states.

 and honor to the country, as those sent from neighboring states.
 By gentlemen who have lately arrived here from Memphis, we are informed efthe little, mean and ungentlemanly artifces that are zealously practised by the inhabi- taRsS of that place, to deter emigration to this Territory. Emigrants are closely beset, and the most gite and false islanders respecting the roads, the soil, the morals of the inhabitants, &c. are dealt out to them with an untiring zeal. We are des- eribed as rather below the Savage, h bru- tality of manners-as destitute of moral honesty, reckless of human life, and worse if possible than all this. The climate is de- nounced as unhealthy in the extreme, and whatever else their diaboEicaI imaginations canconceiye, is used as an argument to pre- Eentemigrants from leaving their heaAhti.l shores.
 Some have believed their false tdles and
 
 justly concluding that self-interest was the grand motive, that gave so black picture of new and thriving country, paid no re- gard to the dismal pourtray, but persever- cd until they had full opportunity of stamp ing the seal of faisehood on all they had heard. Ifsuch conduct is honorable, they riorl,4 I1v ! l T,,a they widely swerve from the path of moral honesty. Let them trumpet forth the fame of their own soil-extol its fertility to the highest degree-proclaim the saEubs-ty of their climate far and wide, and point out all the advantages they possess, or think they possess-thus far they may go without derogating from their character as men fprinciple--but when they descend to the pitiabie means of islander and falsehood, to impose on emigrants, it is the duty of all honest men to point at them the finger of scorn, and hold them forth to the obloquy they justly merit.

Gold.-The Frederick Arena states that Mir. Rivafnoli, chief director of one ot the large mining companies of Lon- don, attended by three other gentlemen in the employ of the same company, was in that town last week, for the purpose of making an examination of the Gold district, with the view of ascertaining its mining capabilities. They intend visiting North Carolina also, and should the report which they will make, as to the indications of Gold in either state, be favorable, the company in London will proceed forthwith to invest a large capital in the erection of suitable build- ings and machinery.-BaA.

 Test Poin& aeademy.--Ne are glad to perceive disposition in our National Legislature to inquire into the manage nent and utility of this institution. It has unquestionabiy become inexpensive to the government, and it's ben- efts probably result to few favored in- diyiduals, alone.
 The utility of an establishment like that at West Point in tanae of Peace, we are at a loss to determine. We are however, fully convinced, that the time has arrived when something should be dones The people have a right to know how much money has been expended, and for what particular purpose. and if abuses have aid to exist, to dicrl,;tiIdi their correction at the hands of their re- Presentatives. If Congress have a sur plus of the peoples money at their con~ trol, and have right 10 appropriate it for purposes of education, we appre- bend that farmers, manufacturers, and mechanics, have a strong claim for the devotion of a portion of it to purposes of education amongst them, rather than that the whole should be lavished upon the military, and become the means of training our young men inidleness, lux ury and dissipation.
 Hmerscan Hcnap.--The citizens of this city had the satisfaction yesterday, of witnessing the .dnssrsean Hemp, grown and fitted by the Northampton hemp company. We are happy to learn from the intelligent gentlemen, from that sec ton of the commonwealth, that these huge piles, ss were but the earnest of the quantity which Is to follow and that this company have now in preparation. for market more than i30 tons of hemp grown the past seasonso This quan- tity at Sp5500 per ton, which is not more than average price for this article, of good quality viii amount to the very comfortable sum of $2G,000. One fact more--we are informed that this quan- tity of hemp is the product of about four hundred acres of land-yielding on the average aboutHsa1ty fire dollars to the a. ere; and this too when the season was known to have been extremely untayor- able for this erop.-Iiow creditabIe is this enterprise to the individuals enga- ged, to our state and to our country. Itisalsoa profitable business to the grow CTS and to these w#hlie w#hlie prepare the hefarf, for market. Let no one envy the ori- ginators or promoters of this new and lucrative branch of agriculture, but let him ssgo and do likewise.
