Volcanoes.

We find in a late number Of the Louisville Jour
nal, long and highly eulogistic nolice-which is
in part also a report-of lecture delivered in that
city, on Volcanoes by Professor SILIIMAN, the
younger, gentleman who seems TO have inherited
all the talent which has distinguished his gifted
father, and to be rapidly climbing the same sleeps
of scientific fame. The following extract from the
report gives few interesting leading facts in re-
laiion 10 the distribution of Volcanoes
There are now about 303 burning Volcanoes
l94 ate in islands, and l09 are on the continents
The proximity of the great mass of volcanoes to
the is fact Of great interest, especially when
il is remembered that there are submarine voca
noes burning in the midst Of the waters. The up
heaval Of land from the mass Of water by' forces
analogous 10 volcanic action is familiar to the ge-
ologist and gives interest to the position of voca-
noes in the neighborhood Of the sea. The volca-
noes in the interior Of Asia are the solitary excep-
ton 10 the rule. One Of them, the volcano Of
Preschan, is l,5S6 geographical miles from the sea
towards the north, ,5l3 towards the south, 1860
on the west, 1920 on the east The distance Of
Popocatepell, in Mexico from the sea-l32 geo.
graphical miles--is so dmnuve, compared to
that of the Asiatc volcanoes, that it need scarce
ly be regarded as departure from the law of prox-
unity 10 the sea.

The Wings of Pennsylvania, and many Dem-
ocrais, will remember the charges of fraud and
peculaon committed on the Columbia railroad a
few years ago. Then the Wings could make the
charge, for there was unmistakable evidence tha,
plunderng the Stale was reduced to perfect sys-
tenn but they were without the power to nvest-
gale. The party in power would not Every

That public servant has retired from ''poeer'' to

ceased to serre his party-and time has ob,era-
ted the charges made by the Wings, and now the
truth may be told That which was called false
hood when told by the Wings, is now admitted to
be substantial truth, by men who then denied it.
In the keystone of March lst, 1850, long ar

Emigration 10 MICHIGAN.

The committee of the State Of Michigan have
presented report, showing the state of emf
grafton and condition of The emigranls of that
State. The State has an agent in Philadelphia
who takes every pains TO induce persons land :
ing in hat port, from foreign countries to sell
lie in that State. The returns for the past
year show an acquisition of $500 10 The popu-
lailon OF Michigan, by emigration who have Ia

several foreign societies of Philadelphia. and
through those societies is enabled TO direct
many useful aud wealthy persons to the advan-

PrTTsBuRG, during the pas, ten days, has been
the scene Of considerable dis siurbance Some
Eastern workmen, who had gone there to take the
places Of those who were on a strike for higher
wages, were attacked by wcmen while at work.
The Pittsburg G0ceitc, says that they then gave
vent TO their spirits by throwing dirt, &c, into the
furnaces, and succeeded in spoiliug several hun
dred dollars worth of iron. They were followed
by large crowd Of men and boys, who urged
them on, and were evidently prepared to defend
them against any resistance. Quiet, we believe
has been pretty much restored in tie city.

WASHINGTON, March 4, 1850.
The North does not seem TO know
their real danger, although the South have done
all that could be done TO wake them up. They
sleep soundly, they don't realize their danger, that
some fine morning they may open their eyes TO
their own nakedness and he!plessness. The South
wearied and worried out of all patience NAV cut
themselves loose, and leave the North in their ma
kedness 10 freeze and shiver and die, without cot
ION to cover them, without any rice, tobacco or
sugar. God help the poor frozen North if the
South leaves Them What could they do but ride
down hill Z"
CO If anybody hereabout has understood that
the South has hitherto supplied the North with
Cotton, Rice, Tobacco and Sugar, without recon-
pense, and just by way Of charity, he must feel
utterly cut down or cut up bv the foregoing-
Those who rather guess that the North has paid
hundred cents on the dollar in lis dealings with
the South at least often as The latter, will be
able TO take il more philosophically. Certainly,
If Three Million workers at the South can easily
and amply support population Of Eight Millions,
il ought not TO be hard for Twelve Millions this
way 10 gain decent subsistence by all working
for it. Potatoes will grow and Corn will fill as
heretofore even though the South should turn its
back 10 the poor frozen North and there is no
country wherein riding down hill is pleasanter
than in this nor wherein those who ride are bet
ter able 10 draw their sleds up again. Wherefore,
most doughty of Doughfaces let US beseech you
not 10 distress yourself on behalf Of the North

Deceiyiny Themselves,

Strange as it may seem, ii is nevertheless true.
that some Of those now loudcst in their treasona-
be designs 10 bring about dissolution OF the Tn
ion are laying the flatering JUNCTION to their souls
that in such an event the people of the State of
Pennsylvania wonld unite with the south in the
establishment of southern confederation. Mr.
Downs, of Louisiana, in bis late sDeech in the
Senate, in which he cody and deliberately entered
into calculation Of the value Of the union, de-
cared his belief that Pennsylvania would unite
with the south in such movement. This" said
he, "Is not mere conjecture. saw letter with
in a few days, from respectable gentleman in the
State of Pennsylvania, upon the subject Of cur
present troubles and of the dissolution of The un-
ion in which lie says, ifit ever should come Penn
sylvauia will stand by the south.-Her pecuniary
interests demand it," We know not who the re-
spectacle gentleman may be. Doubtless some as
nirant for southern favors, who would sell his
birthriglt Tor mess of pottage.- No man in his
senses or having any regard for truth, and not &C
tuated by some selfish motives, would make such
a declaration. Whosoever may have been Mr.
Downs authority, we hesitate not to say he is
either Ounce or knave.-DqlV NeuS.
