In Pennsylvania we shall expect defeat. The timid policy of her public men has produced a state of public opinion which it will require time to change. The exam. pie of MT. Wilmont, however, will induce others to follow him; and knowing the "old Keystone State" as we do, we shall coni ently look for her maintenance in 1s4e, if not earlier, of the principles of the free trade party.
 
 The Coosa River Journal, published at Rome, Georgia, prefaces the letter of Judge Porter, published by us in the Flag of the 7th inst. ,-relative to rail road commu- Dicalion between Jackson. Miss, and King. ston, Ga., via Tuscaloosa-wth the follow. ing remarks:
 1.-The following article, Tn the Charleston Courier. is of peculiar interest to our readers just at this time. Very few of those who have interested 'h' mselves in the construction of tho rail road from this place, have looked to the cnies of Tuscaloo>a, (Ala. ) and Columbus (Miss.,) as points which ould furnish any DOT. lion oflts traffic or travel. The following Iet- ter, however, from Judge PORTER, one of Ala bama's most enlightened citizens. conveys the idea Of an extension ofour raI road by the way of those cities to Jackson, Miss, which has already been received with favor by the cit zens oi Western Alabama and Northern MisslssIppi. rail road from Gadsden (ormely Double Springs) via Elyton, Tuscaloosa, and Columbus, to Jackson Mss. would pass over very ia yordble route, and through section of country very much in want of such facilities The spirit in favor of his improvement, which is now being manifested m public mes llngs in Tuscaloosa. and Columbus, leads us to believe that the day Is not vary far distant, when this road will be ip operation.
