The mountain sentinel. [volume] (Ebensburg, Pa.) 1844-1853, 1851-11-06
Distinguished COurtess.

General Campbell, the newly elected Governor
of Tennessee, closes his Inaugural Address with
the following handsome notice of Gen. Trous-
dale, his defeated competitor:
81 regret, fellow-citizens, that it was my for
tune to be brought into conflict upon the politi-
cal arena with my worthy mpetitor-especial-
ly one so distinguished in the military history
of our country, who by his gallant conduct in
war has won distinction for himself and shed
honor upon the escutcheon of Tennessee already
bright with the deeds of our illustrious chief
tains. / honor him, as doubt not do the peo-
pie Of our State, for his virtues as citizen and
his gallantry as soldier"

The Thirty Second Congress.

a Washington correspondent of the y. York
Courier says:-tI believe the members of the
32d Congress have now been elected in every
State of the Union but Mississippi and Louisi-
ana. In these States, it is quite probable
that two Wings will be returned to seven
Democrats. The Wings will have from eighty
five to ninety members, the Free Sellers per-
haps eight or ten, and the Democrats a clear
regular party majority of fifty, or thereabouts,
over the Wings, and a sufficient one for practi-
cal purposes over all combinations that can pos
sibly be formed against them. The Secession
lists will oppose both the old party organizations,
and with the object of weakening and thwarting
them will frequently act in concert with the
Free Soil section

number We noticed Gov. Johnston, Ex-G Gov. Rit-
ner, and Judge Jessup, with many others who
have taken the liveiest interest in all connected
with the Fair.
The ploughing match being over, the premi-
ums on stock, &C., were awarded. The premium
for the best Durham bull over three years old,
was awarded to James Gowen, of Philadelphia
Henry Sherbourne's fine stallion az X. Polk, u
took the prize, as did also the fine French Me-
rino sheep of A. L. Bingham, of Vermont.
McCormick's celebrated Reaping machine was
again successful. Apremium was also awarded
to the double plough of Messrs Proutty and
Barrett, of Philadelphia, and indeed their whole
display of implements was most attractive, and
it was thought by many would claim the premi-
um as the largest display, but that after careful
investigation, was awarded to E. Whitman, of
Baltimore. 1sE-

The New Portage Railroad.

\ few days since we travelled along part of the
line of this new road and were quite pleased with
ing its completion. The various Sections are in
in the hands of competent gentlemen, and the
work so far as we have seen it will compare ia
vorably with that done on any other road in the
country. The Sections we visited are in charge
of Messrs. McKiernan s Mcbride, r. R. Bridgens
& Co., II. B. Blanchard, Z. II. Dentworth, and
John Piatt Co., and extend from about one
mile west of Plane No. 2 to the foot of Plane
No. 8. T. Sidney Russell, Esq, Assistant En-
gineer, informed us that Plane No. 2 will be
avoided early in the spring, and Plane No. 8
q short time after

The late Contest and our Position

When we assumed the control of the s'Moun-
tain Sentinel" our position was distinctly defined
relative to personal attacks on members of the
democratic party in this county, and we resolved
that the name of no should be assailed, no
matter to what section of the party he belonged
and up to this time have maintained our position
nnd shall continue TO do so, let the consequences
be as they may, and if any arc offended we are
willing TO abide their censure. Our course is
fair, straight forward and frank, anxious to
benefit the whole party, having no desire to link
oursef to any faction or set of men for the pur-
pose of showering denunciations on the head Of
any man in the democratic ranks in Cambria
county, much less on Mr.. John c. O'Neill, who,
TO our certain knowledge, rode the night previous
to the election nearly all night TO sustain one of
the Associate Judges and the County Treasurer.
Our peculiar standing towards Mr.. O'Neill has
prevented US from defending him from the at
tacks made upon him; ne is sufficiently compe-
tent to sustain and excupate himself and we
presume he does not ask or expect ANYTHING
from his enemies other than that which he is
receiving. Nevertheless, we cannot lend our
columns to those men to circulate malignant ex-
aggerations against him, for We would not do
anything of the kind for Mr.. ONein against
them if he should desire it, and VIC certainly
cannot be expected to do it for his enemies
We therefore respectfully decline publishing
the proceedings Of the sixteen persons who met
here on Monday last, for the above reasons also,
that We believe that said convention has clothed
itself with extraordinary powers, at variance
with the usaSes of the party in this county, IN
anomaly in political legislation, and we are aware
that majority of them are his personal enemies
md many are strongly suspected of the same
offence that he is charged with.
At the ringing of the bell, large and res
pcctable meeting assembled at the Court House
on Monday evening, and it must have been graf
flying to Mr.. O'Neill to know that his compe-
tcncy and worth a public officer was unani-
mously endorsed by an asscmblage of about one
hundred Of his friends, who are his neichbors.
and know him best A resolution was unani-
mously passed in favor of Hon. James Buchan-
for the Presidency, another evidence of the
high estimation in which he is held in Cambria.

gence that the attack on Matamoras was com
menced on the morning of the 2lst, and on the
evening of the 23d Gen. Carayajal and his for
ces had. possession of the city, within four
squares of the Plaza. The Mexican Govern
ment troops still held out, suffering the loss OF
one hundred and fifty killed and wounded. The
Revolutionists lost but three men, including
Capt Ford, who was in command of the Texan
Rangers. The Mexican General, Avalos, was
wounded during the engagement. Orders were
issued by the Mexican General, to give no quar-
ter to the Americans. Mr.. Longstreth, a mer-
chant doing business in Matamoras, was killed.
The Revolutionists set the city on fire on the
23d, and the Custom House and a number Of
other buildings were destroyed. On the 25th,

A New Article of Export.

The New York Herald says - We have no
ticed in our official tables of exports from this
port during the past three or four weeks, ship
ments of phosphate of lime to London. This
article is sent to England as fertilizer of the
soil, and is invaluable to agriculturalists. 1t
can be furnished in any quantity by the Union
Mining Company of New Jersey, where there is
an inexhaustible supply Twenty-Five thousand
tons of this article will be shipped to England
during another season, and as much more con-
sumed here. 1t is one of the most important
minerals ever discovered, and will be the source
of more wealth to the world than the discovery
of gold in California or Australia. Immense
quantities of guano are used annually in this
country and in Europe, at an enormous cost.
The phosphate of lime is better and cheaper,
and must, therefore, take its place. The Royal
Agricultural Society of Great Britain made a
very valuable report in relation to this impor-
tant fertilizer, and the shipments made to Eng
land have found ready sale at high prices"
