70 The weather on Tuesday last, was
cold and windy, and of course exceedingle
unpleasant to all classes, but especially to
invalids, many of whom like barometer,
are operated on by every change in the at
mosphere. Colds and coughs, are again in
vogue-gardening is suspended and naviga-
ton is checked, and we fear that the fruit
crop may have suffered.

90 The Coal operators OF Schuylkill
county, held a meeting at Pottsville, a short
time since and pledged themselves to send
no coal to market for three weeks, or until
the 9TH of April. The trade had got into
the hands of spectators, who made the
prices to suit themselves. They offered but
81 % for white ash and 50 90 for red ash.
The operators have resolved to sell none
less than So 90 and 50 %, which is as low
as it can be afforded. The operators in
Schuylkill county last year sunk about
S250,000 in their business.

DELEGATE TO THE CANAL COMMITS.
sIoNERs CONVENTION

'
Several communications have lately ap-
peared in the Sunbury Gazette, in relation
to the delegate to the Canal Commissioners
Convention. A writer who signs himself
ga Democrat of the Forks" objects to Mr..
Raker, who was appointed at the last Au-
gust Convention, because the place Of hold
ing the Convention, was changed from
Harrisburg to Pittsburg, and the time from
the 4th of March to the 4th Of July. Ano-
ther reason assigned is, that three different
persons in the Forks say, that they have
been appointed substitutes by Mr.. Raker.
This last reason we confess, is equal to the
other two, and the whole three in our
opinion, prove little or nothing, unless it
is that the writer would prefer himself or
some one else to Mr.. Raker, or his substi-
tute as delegate. We care but little about
the affair ourselves, and only notice it as
an act of Justice to Mr.. Raker, who feels
that his character has been indirectly as
sailed by the writer. He cannot conceive
why he should be disqualified, if it were
even fact that three persons had represen-
ted themselves as his substitute. He ha
been fairly appointed the delegate to the
Canal Commissioners Convention, and can.
not see that quibble about time or place
should render him ineligible. He author.
ises us to say, that he has appointed but ont
person as his substitute to take his place il
the Convention, provided he does not at
; tend himself.

The Senate Adjourned-O6ice Seeking, &c.


WAsHINGToN, March cath, 1s49.
As long as the Senate was in session, the
office-seekers apologized for General Taylor's
tarduess in making removals, saying that the
Senate might retaliate, and cot off heads in
return; but now that the Senate has gone,
he is bound to satisfy their cravings. Well,
we will see.
General Taylor is heartily sick of this uni
versal Office begging, and an anecdote, which
may not yet have found its way into other
| papers, may well find a little nook in the
Ledger.
There is good old fellow-a Pennsylva-
nian, from Harrisburg--a messenger in the
War Department, who is not yet turned out,
and whose place has already been singled
ont by about twenty applicants, may be more.
One of them, in spite of Gen. Taylor's ex-
press declarations, went directly TO him, and
not TO the Secretary, 10 get the place, and
had long argument with "Rough and
Ready" on the subject. The General told
him that he had nothing TO do with it, and
that he had not the slightest idea of ordering
the man to be turned out. The hungry office
