corning the Gas Light Company of that City:
This Company has recently declared dividend
of one dollar per share on the capital stock The
Gas Works are located in Church street, between
Cumberland and Market, (west side,) and were
constructed under the superintendance OF Messrs.
Baton & DUNCAN, contractors, OF Philadelphia.
The original cost, including laying of pipes &c,
is estimated at two hundred thousand dollars.
The two Gasometers are capable of holding e5,.
900 cubic feet of gas each; supplying 80 miles OF
pipe. There are 40 retorts (of cast iron) All
ofour public buildngsand over 300 private dwell
ngs are supplied, consuming about $4,000 cubic
feet of gas daily.
In point of economy, the use of gas lights has
been vast benefitto our citizens, producing much
saving of time and labor. and effectually remedy
ing the inconvenience and uncleanliness OF the
old fashioned modes of lighting.
Mr.. John R. Heriot, the superintendent OF these
extensive works, is native of this city, an expe-
rienced engineer and machinst, uniting practical
knowledge with excellent business talents and
habits, which enable him to combine harmonious
ly the mutiform duties of Secretary and Agent

The movements made in the Legislature OF
Virginia, in relation to the Public Lands have not
fallen without effect upon the public ear We
observe, with pleasure, that the press of the state
is calling the attention of the people to the subject,
and, we trust, that their voice will come up to
their Legislators, commanding them to CONSUL the
true interest of the state in preference to follow
ing the distractions party. In truth, this is no
party question 1t rises far above any party con-
sderations. And, even, if the dicta of politicians
are to be taken into the account, it happens that
we have good Democratic authority for the prin-
ciple we support, and the policy weadvocate.-
There is no state in the Union more interested
in receiving its just share of the public lais, now,
whether we consent or not, in rapid process Of
distribution, than Virginia. We are as much en-
titled to the benefits to be derived from the sale
of the public domain, as the States which are
receiving the whole of them, ito our entire exclu-
sion. Why should Virginia refuse TO demand
what is her right Why should Virginia refuse the
aid which the Public Lands would give to her In
ternal improvements and her system of Education2
In the race for power, influence and wealth,
Virginia has been left behind. Her sons ought
not to be discouraged. With all the natural ele-
ments of prosperity in her own limits, let he
call to her aid, the additional impetus which would
be given, by receiving her fair share of the Pub
lie Lands. Every thing conspires to render the
present time the proper time for accepting that,
which if now rejected, we may never have another
opportunity of receivng.-Aler. Gaz.

THE DAILY TIMES.

From the Louisville Journal.
WINTER.
He comes at last,
In bowling blast,
Old Winter the stern and gray;
And Autuml fair,
With her golden hair,
tie has rudely chased away.
The flowers so bright,
Turn pale in alright,
And meekly prepare for death.
For well they know,
That their deadly foe
Is old Winters icy breath.
The brave old oak
Has felt the stroke,
And he raises his arms so bare,
To the low'ring sky
As if to defy
The dark storm-sprit there.
From the forest lone
Every bird has flown.
And all is quiet and still,
Save the murmur low,
OF the last death throe
That comes from the freezing rI.
And list TO the wall
OF the chilling gale,
As it sweeps the old trees among;
Whose branches moan
Like the dying groan
Ola giant fierce and strong.
He has laid his hand
On the beautiful land,
And stiffened, it lieth and low;
While ITS features once bright
Are now hid from the sight,
BY its virgin shroud of snow.
Oh sorrow and pain
He bringeth again
To the halt-clad, shivefng poor,
Who tremble with fear
When his steps they hear
Approaching their humble door.
