PoNDENcE OF THE MOUNTAIN SENTINEL
HARRIsBURG, March IL, 1851.

coRREsPoNDENcE OF THE "MoUNTAIN SENTINEL
HARRIsBURG, March IL, 1851.
DEAR JACK:
Since my last there has not
much of interest transpired here. The
month of March, and every ything. both in
animal and mute nature, look cheering IN
The extreme. The beautiful Susquehanna
River is in a fine state for the purpose of
affording facilities 10 the hardy sons of the
forest to bring to market the fruit of their
toll Harrisburg has materially improved
since last year, having had added in that
period, no less than one large and beauti.
ful Cotton Factory; at a cost of two hun
dred thousand dollars, built by a Joint
stock com 9any. This mill is not yet in
operation, in consequence of the high
price of cotton, but it is in contemplation
to put it in full operation on the first of
April next
A very extensive Foundry has also
been put up by gentleman by the name
of Jones, from the East, which promises
10 do well. The new Gas Works are
now in full operation, and at night the
streets are beautifully illuminated, impart-
ing to the town a cheerful and lively as
pect.
Besides these public buildings, there
have been built large number of elegant
private dwellings. but | must confess that
there is much room for improvement in
Harrisburg, and what is strange, is the
fact, that there is large amount of idle
capital in this town, which might be profit
ably employed.
A grand gift Concert is TO come off here
this week, in which persons who spend
the moderate sum of one dollar, stand a
chance of drawing prize worth 1926, in
the shape of splendid Boudoir Piano
Forte. There are other prizes of less
value, ranging from $40 down to fifty
cents. Who the fortunate person will be
who will draw the Piano Forte, remains
yet TO be seen. For my own part,
would have no objection TO take the high
est prize myself, but of course | wont as
usual.
On Saturday night last, had she plea
sure of Witnessing the splendid Panorama
of Mexico, painted by Mr.. Johnson, of
Philadelphia, from notesby Capt. White,

picture is one of the finest specimens OF
art that has ever been submitted to the in
spection of an enlightened community.

The New Portage Road.

The Report of Robert FAIRIES, ESQ,
Civil Engineer, appointed TO make a sur
vey OF the route to avoid the inclined
planes on the Portage Rail Road, contains
SO much interesting information that we
would wish to publish it in full, but for
want OF space are compelled to make the
following extracts. The Report enters
fully into the details of the cost of the pro-
posed route, and contains the estimated
expense of four different surveys, viz:
Line No. ]. maximum grade 60 feet per
mile, 81 miles long, total cost, 81 ,665 900.
Line No. 2, maximum grade rs feet per

officer and private out of their regular
pay, and confident that the claim is just
and honest one, therefore we can see no
reason why the Senate should not grant
the prayer of the petitioners. This bill
passed the House of Representatives at
the last session, and i, is duty incumben,
upon our present Senate to carry out the
provisions of the act, as above stated, and
render to these noble men the respective
amounts so justly due them. Such a
course should receive universal commen-
dation.

Washington and The Welsh.
\ ours Truly,
LOBBY.

We have been favored with a copy OF
an address TO the citizens of the L niied
States who are natives Of Wales, in rela-
ton 10 block 10 represent the Welsh of
America, in the Washington monument.
A public meeting was held upon the sub
ject short time since at Utica, when a
preamble and resolutions, eulogistic of the
character Of Geo. Washington, were adop-
ted with great unanimity, and 1t was re-
solved that a sum of not less than four
hundred dollars should be raised, for the
purpose OF obtaining the proposed block.
\ committee 10 draft an address was also
appointed, and this address, which is now
before us, embodies an earnest and glow
ing appeal. All Welshmen, residents or
citizens of the United States, are called
upon TO contribute their mite TO the patri-
otic undertaking. The object is every
way creditable and laudable, and the re-
quired sum will no doubt be speedily
raised. One of the resolutions passed at
the Utica meeting is in these words:
''ReSOtUed, That we recommend to our
fellow-W w elshmen in all parts of America,
TO unite with US 10 place block of mar

been as changeabie as the hide of cha

amount OF music poured forth by the

that spring with all its beauties was sud

night the ground was covered only to the
depth of six or eight inches. We were

expectations have been "nipped i the
bud" The sun shone out on Tuesday in
all its splendor, and the icicles hanging
