THE CANALS.

We are pleased to say that the recent
freshet has not injured the navigation be-
tween this place and Philadelphia. The
Susquebanna was very high and break
along The line of canal was not unlocked
for. A number OF boats arrived here this
week, laden with merchandise for this
place and neighbprhood baving come
through in about FIVE days. A number OF

to say, that but little interruption to the ma
vigation has occurred on the canal between
Northumberland and the Junction, amount-
ing in all, we believe, not more than two
weeks, which, considering the broken ma
ture Of the country along which the canal
in many places passes, and the almost unpre-
cedented rains, is certainly not more than
we had right to anticipate. Col. Roder-
mel, the Superintendent, we believe, has
been constantly and actually employed in
keeping in repair this portion of the lines
and not without success, considering the
difficulties he had to encounter. .... +.

THE smAMoKIN COAL TRADE.

The Coal Trade is now quite brisk,
and we presume the Messrs. Fegley's have
quite as much as they can attend to in
supplying the demand. The facilities are
not such as the importance of the trade de-
mands. During the past week we have
heard the rafting OF the coal, in loading
the boats at the wharf, as late as 10 o'clock
at night. We trust the tune will soon
come when the track between this and
Shamokin will be relaid with heavy iron
rails, with business enough to warrant the
use OF motive power. As soon as the con-
nection between this place and Pottsville
is made, which we trust will be accomplish
ed at no distant day, the Shamokin and
Mahonoy coal regions will be more fully
developed and rapidly advance in value.
The works in progress at Trevorton in the
Mahonoy region, has already had good
effect. In the town OF Shamokin, year
since, many houses We're tenantless, now
all are occupied.

IMP ORTANT FROM WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON, Nov. a.
The recent tumult iE Boston, and the spirit
Of resistance TO the laws, shown have at length
determined the President to issue a Procla-
nation, which will be published in the course
of day or two.
During the excitement in Phiadelph Jud-
aes Grer and Kane addressed letter TO the
Secretary Of War, stating that there were
good reasons for apprehendmg forcible resis-
tance to the officers of the United States in
the execution of the law-and requesting that
the government troops might be ordered 10
assist and project The magistrates in the dis
charge of their duty. ..I
The Secretary of War opened the letter to
the President, and aflcra Cabinet consula-
tion, the Executive determined that measures
shonld be taken to enforce the law at all
hazards. He has drawn up an elaborate re-
ply to Judges Kane and Grier, in which assn
rance is given that officers of the Govern
ment may count upon the fullest protection
from Washington, in The discharge of their
duties.

,1epoNoUcH, THE MrLLrosArnE.

The New Orleans Delta has a long notice
of the death of McDonough, the millionaire,
whose character appears 10 be involved in
those strange contradictions which are usually
exhibited by men who make wealth the sole
object of their eXistence-at times astonlsh-
ing people by their iberality, and again ex-
hibiling the features of the most misery mig
gardiness. He appears to have devoted the
best part Of his time 10 labor, eighteen hours
IN the day. His only assistance were some
negro slaves, whom he had educated and
trained 10 his own habits of method und IN
dustry. No white person lived in the ancient
and dilapidated chateau in which he resided.
No person ever visited him, save on business
or for charity. His manners were rigid, Sc
we're and repelling. Ia the prosecution Of his
rights, or in any relations of business, be
knew no pity, no iberality, no kindness, and
was never moderated or softened by any of
the considerations that ordinarily operate
upon mankind. And yet outside Of his bust
d ness and legal relations, he was not insensi-
bic 10 charitable appeals. He was frequently
heard to declare that he lived only for the
Lord-to carry out some great design of his
Maker. When asked if he would sell pro-
peuy, his inyariable reply was 81 own none
what have acquired belongs to the Lord
am his agent, without the power OF selling" ."
To his relations who were quite poor, he
preserved severe and studied coldness-
only relieving their poverty by the mos!
meagre contributions, The Delta says
OF enterprise, the spirit of public improve
ment and progress, he was as destitute as the
old panks Of his house were of sap. Own
ing immense property in the city, he left the
greater part Of it entirely unimproved, unit
his possessions became great nuisance ic
q the corporation. When induced TO build, he
" would only erect the toughest and most un
seemly buildings, usually put up by his slaves
who brought the bricks with which the,
were made across the river. Many of ihes
buildings are now eyesores in our city, ten
~ antless and dangerous from their delapidate
Condition. So too of his immense propert
in the country. But small portion of it wa
in cultivation. He usually bought tracts {
land by leagues and miles, instead OF acre
He was said TO own fifty miles fronting on III
Mississippi in Louisiana. Four fiiihs of III
swamp land in the State belonged TO him.
He had, too, immense possessions in Florid
- Mississippi, and Texas The area of his pr
pery would equal that of one of the sma
States Of the Union, and would exceed thai
several Of the Kingdoms or Princpalilies

An inspection Of these figures is worthy
he attention of our Ohio friends, and may
lead some of their statisticians 10 calculate
how long it will take Ohio to get ahead o!
Pennsy ylvania-whose prosperity is by no
means confined 10 the towns, The census
Of one Of the WITHSTAND not most rapidly
improveng sections of the Sate-Pike
county, shows the following result In 1910
the population was S,SSa; it is now 5,9l6
increase 2,O74, or more than 81 per cent
The population of Pennsylvania was, last
year, estimated 2,25O,OOO. 1t will probably
show considerable advance for the present
year, Our Cincinnati friends claim 2,2OO,.
900 for Ohio. This would be vast progress,
but not an unnatural one for Ohio, in her cir
cumslapces. We hope she may realize it ;
and we feel that we can indulge this hope
without its being alloyed by any apprehen-
sion of the decline of Pennsylvania.

cANADA ANp Tue ruerruvE SLAVES.

Our Canadian neighbors are becoming alar-
med al the influx Of negroes, flying from the
reach Of the Fugitive Slave Law, to the asy-
um that has been promised them in Her
Majesty's American dominions. All along
The frontier, they are arriving BY tens, fifiies,
and hundreds. Many of them are penniless,
aud all stand in need Of aid Of some kind, in
establishing themselves instheir new home.'
One would imagine from the usual tone OF
the English people and press, that these fugi-
| ives would be recsiyed with open arms by
the subj ,cis of Victoria, and that the persecu'
| ted blacks who have excited so much British
sympathy, and whose representatives in Eng
land have been lionized by nobility and
feasted by aristocracy would at once be
welcomed as an invaluable acquisition 10 the
Canadian population. Not so however,
The papers are already sounding the alarm,
and are limiting at the necessity Of establish
ing poll tax on all blacks from the United
States.
This is eminenily British Nothing could
be more characteristic of the revilers of
America. England has done more to encourage
the aboliionists and excite the negroes TO
flight thar any other nation. She has, in a
measure, attained her object The negroes
are flying by thousands to the soil of the Bri-
iish empire, confident that they will be
warmly welcomed, and that the kindness
promised 10 them will be cheerfully extended.
True TO his instincts, John Bull turns the cold
shoulder upon them. He finds he has over
shot his mark. His true object was to disturb
America, not TO receive the surplus of her
worst population and he must impose poll
tax to shelter himself from the danger his
own hands have wrought. 1t will never do
TO open his doors 10 such class as the flying
negroes of the States. We shall see whether
the Canadian government will sustain the
Inconsistencies of the Canadian people. We
shall not be surprised if the asylum OF Canada
is closed TO the ugiiives, and they are com.
PEELED TO remain in America, liable 10 be sent
back TO the slavery they have been encoura.

THE MoRMoNs-T most remarkable
people, under their prophet 'Strang, have
made vast Improvements on Beaver Island,
in Lake Michigan. They number about six
hundred, and each man holds from 40 TO l60
acres of land as an everlasting inheritance.-
Beaver Islands have the best inland fishery
in the Union, and the best natural harbor on
the lakes. They have two sail vessels of
ing steamers TO stop at. Garden Island, six
miles square, is one of the richest and most
beautiful islands on the face of the EARTH
The Big Beaver is six by fourteen miles in
extent. Several beautiful, well timbered is
lands surround the Big Beaver; each about six
miles square. We see. however, that dissen-
sions have broken out among them. A cor
respondent OF the Cleveland Plaindealer says ::
Elder Adams, who is a Mormon preacher
and Tragedian by turns, had 10 flee for his
life, in consequence Of having provoked the
wrath Of James f. Srang, one Of The prophets,
who it seems, sets up his will as the supreme
law. Srang is charged with robbing the gen.
tiles, as he calls all who do not acknowledge
his law, Of provision and such oher goods and
chaltels as The Saints require. Adams pro-
misses to expose the wicked practice of Strang
and his followers Strang has been arrested,
taken 10 Macknac, where he was tried and
sentenced to six months imprisonment in
the county Jail.
