Sentences for Murder.

Ia the Senate on Tuesday a week message
was received from Gov. Johnston, calling the at
tenlion of the legislature to several convictions
and sentences for murder in severalcounties in the
commonwealth. The first is that of Bridget Har
man. who is under sentence in Philadelphia; the
second, iha, of James Hamilton alias James Thack-
aia in Lancaster. and that of Andrew Caliaghan,
in Pike county. In neither case has the Govern
or ISSUED his warrant, because of certain doubts in
his mind as to whether they are really guilty of
murder in the first degree.

A new rail road is in course Of construction from
Portsmouth to Columbia. Upon its completion it
is expected that all the freight which now goes
over the Harrisburg and Lancaster railroad will
be thrown upon the Columbia railroad at Colum-
bia.
The number Of miles travelled by passengers
over the Philadelphia and Columbia railroad dur
ing the year was 7,4lO ,558, which divided by SO,
the length of the road, is equal to 90,25O through
passengers. The tolls from these and the cars in
which they were conveyed, amounted to $780,

ton of passengers is recommended. The rates
of fare are too high. The board desire to pur-

PROSPECTUS OF A NEW SERIES OF

| The publishers OF the SOUTHERN Quarterly
REVIEW beg leave to entreat the attention Of the
public to that Work, to return thanks for the in
variable indulgence which has smiled upon its
progress hitherto, and to express the hope that
this countenance will not be withdrawn, now that
the publication, passing from the hands Of the
former publisher into their own, makes, as it
were, fresh start In the pursuit of a well known
PROCESS. They cannot allow themselvesto doubt,
that-with all their former contributors, with the
addition Of mary new ones, not less valuable and
distinguishe d-under the conduct still Of MIR. w !.
GILMORE SMMs, its sole Editor during the past
year-and with the assurance which the subscri-
bers now beg leave to give, that the work viii be
henceforward issued in style very superior to
that OF the past, on better paper, with fine new
type, and with regard to neatness and finish,
which will leave it second to none IN the country
they will continue to receive that patronage which
thor own endeavor and the claims of such an or
gan seem reasonably to demand
The writer's for the REVIEW include the greater
number of the best and ablest names of the
country. They represent the highest literary
talent of the South, and reflect truly, with a ma
tive earnestness, force, and fidelity, the real pol
icy and the peculiar institutions of our section.
We entreat the people of the South, who feel
the importance of such periodical as the Review
to excuse it's deficiencies, and generously lend
| themselves to Its assistance. With their counte
nance and concurrence, it can become the estab
shed organ of domestic opinion--the champion
of our rights and character abroad-he guide ant
counsel to intellectual progress and proper tnst'
at home--the arena in which the better minds o
the country may always distinguish themselves
and find the proper proyocatlon TO execution ant
performance---the wholesome authority to which
we may always turn for the correction and re
straint of crude and undigested speculation. Thes
are all objects of the last necessity to n civilizc
people, who have anything to gain by enterprise
or any thing toflose by remissness and indifeI
ence. Once more, we ask from the patrons of III
Review, indulgence for the past, and such syn,
pathy and support for the future, as due to tn
vital interests whichit faithfully serves, and tn
character which it seeks to establish.
