SALE THE PROPERTY THE MARYLAND MI
MING Co.-Wedncsday being the day fixed for the
sale of all the property of the Maryland Mining
Company, large number of gentlemen connected
with the Cumberland Coal and Iron Company, and
the other Coal Companies of that county, assem-
bled at the Eckhart Mines by IL O'Clock. Mr.
George Dencen, the well known auctioneer, Off
ciatcd on the occasion. The first bid was $685.
600, which after n few minutes was increased by
second to 1886, 200. After this the trustees held
consultation, and, through VIM. Price, ESQ.,, an
nounced that they had concluded to bid $500, 600.
Whereupon David Leavitt, Esq, President of the
American Exchange Bank of New York, in behalf
of the Cumberland Coal and Iron Company, bid
$500, 100, and thereupon it was struck off to the
Cumberland Coal and Iron Co. The company
present then partook of refreshments and soon af-
ter returned to Cumberland .l...
Thus have the Cumberland Coal and Iron Com
pany added the mines, railroad and other fixtures
of the Maryland Mining Company TO their other
valuable property in that county. We are in
formed that it Is their intention to enter at once
upon large business in COAL by means of all the
avenues to market.-Miner's Journal

range Of lmputatlon even, by promptly and
manfully, with the devotion Of Patriot,
bowling to the expressed will of the great
party with which he has been so long iden-
tifed 1t is strange to see how the White
House mania seizes on our great men. The
older they become, the more blindly do they
press towards the shining prize. Mr.. WEB
srER ought, by this time, to know that he
can never be IL occupant. However great
he may be, and that he is the greatest living
intellect in the Union we doubt not for a
moment, he must know, what every school
boy knows, that he never can be President.
His devotion for the Union claims for him
our warmest admiration. He fought bold
ly and successfully against the known sem
timent Of his State; offered up, on the u
MONS altar, his own publicly expressed OPT
Mons on the Free Soil question, because he
believed and saw, that, Constitutional tho
they were in his opinion, yet they were in
expedient, and would be productive of the
most ruinous consequences to the safety OF
the Institutions he was bound to cherish
and sworn to uphold For this service, the
Nation should be and is grateful. But was
he alone? Did not others rush into the
breach as we'll as he? And are they not en-.
titled, as we'll as he, to their reward?
All cannot receive the Presidential office.
The great Wing party Of the country have
said that WINFIELD ScorT shall have their
preferment He is worthy Of it, and while
we cannot believe that Mr.. WEBSTER Sc
riously contemplates lending himself, as
did Mr.. VAN Buren,, to disorganizing fac
tionists, still it is due to the country, to the
great principles and party with which he is
identified. and above all, to himself, to frown
down every effort, come whence it may, to
endanger the success Of the great Wing par
ty of the Union. That Mr. WEBSTER was
disappointed at not receiving the Baltimore
nomination we doubt not, that he should
be magnanimous now, is due to the party,
his long cherished principles, their success,
and above all, to the high character Of the
great American. who needs not the prestige
of the White House to perpetuate his fame
and hand him down to posterity as one of
the great names of great people.

MORAL OF THE CEksus.-The N. Y
Courier thus reviews the moral Of the Gen.
sus returns for 1850, which arc now in
course of publication:
eMen talk Of intervention and P%ropagnnd.
ism, of material aid in behalf Of liberty and
political justice; aud flaming cannon and
glittering ~bayohets rise to the minds eye.
a little roll of manuscript has just issued
from one of our State bureaus, that carries
within itself more elements of destruction
to tyrai nv in every form than all the hostile
fleets aud armies our utmost power eouId
put in motion. 1t comes unhefalded; II
makes no stir; the falling Of the snowflake
is not more silent. Nay it as silent Us the
light, for light itself, ii is. 1t is a simple re-
vealing to the world what this Free Kepu6'
lie actually is. Rhetoric has lone nothing
to adorn it. Logic has spent upon it none
of her skill: no art or device of man has beer
employed TO give it effect. 1t is made up o
a single aggregation ofnaked facts and fig
ures- And yea "a the cause of hu
man freedom every column of these figures
has the force Of thousand columns Of in
fantry, and every line of these statements i
worth a line-of-battle."

W.suxeros GossiP.-Ion, a Washing
ton correspondent of the Baltimore Sun, is
a toIerably good LocoCoco, and we take il
that ths following has rather more truth
than poetry in IL;
ave have fallen upon an age Of non-com-
mittalism. In the democratic ranks there is
not now that tone of confident condemnation
or approval Of measures or principles which
is usual with an opposition about to assume
the responsibilities Of power. The demo-
Gratis begin to be nom ommittal as well as
conservative. Wemust look to other quar-
tiers for all the flibusterisIn which the cuun
try can show for the next four years. Even
as to financial questions, and the tariff ques-
ton, there is much hesitation and caution.
There is no danger that the democratic par
ty wi run riot with their power.
"The difficulties as to the formation Of a
Cabinet are increasing. No man scarcely
can be put up for a Cabinet post who is not
instantly shot down by some section or clique
of the party. Can Gen. Pierce make up a
Cabinet of Presidential aspirants! No; and
il he takes one he must take all. Can he
take a prominent New York free-soilert No.
but he will give as much offence by taking
either Of that gentleman's rivals in his owr
State. He can take no prominent maj
from New York, and none, perhaps, ever
from Virginia."

SEVEN Tons OF AUSTRALIAN GOLD AR
RIVED IN ENoLAND.-On November 23d,
three vessels arrived in tho river Thames,
from Australia with the extraordinary guam
tity of upwards Of seven tons OF gold on
board. One Of the ships, the Eagle, was
~freighted with the largest amount of the
precious metal ever known TO arrive in one
vessel, viz: $50 900 ounces, upwards OF six
tons,) and Of the value Of more than E600,-
600. The other ships are the Sapphire from
Sydney, with 1868 ounces on board, and
the Pelham, from Sydney, with 2S,762
ounces. The Maitland also arrived a day OF
two since, fromSydney, with 1895 ounces,
Great, however, as has been the wealth
brought over by the Eagle, the ship Dido ia
expected in a few days, which will far sur
pass it, having on board 100000 ounces or
about ten tons and a half Of the precious
metal. The Neptune, with $1,000 ounces
the A~ndromache, ~, o5l ounces, and other
ships wi h as valuable freights, are nearly
due.

Tue "CouKTRY SAFE."-In olden times,
when the very best OF men were apt to in
dulge in co. .vivialities without very greatly
shocking the then moral sense Of community,
two old dodgers, whom we shall designate
by the uncommon names OF Smith and Jones'
spent an evening abroad in a very happy
manner. Jones became considerably "ele'
yated" BY the excess Of indulgence, so much
so that he was incapable Of selEvolition.--
Smith, though himself somewhat excited,
undertook the grateful task Of conducting
his partner in Joy to his residence. This
with much difficulty from the crookedness OF
the streets and the up and downness OF the
sidewalks, he accomplished. Jones grasped
the handle of his own door, and oscilIating
to and fro, with n look Of comical gravity,
! hiccoughed out-"Well Mr.. Smith, guess
you can go alone now; you wont need any
more Of my assistance"
Supplementary to the above, we would
add another, which We either heard or read.
Another devotce Of Bacchus, being absent
from home rather later in the day than suit

that according to the charter the office Of
Clerk of the Superior Court is elective. Tn

had a few tickets printed with his name OF
them for the neglected Office, and slyly gu
thirty of them voted. There was but on

is he is elected by 80 majority precisely

A%URIcuLAR CoNFEssIoE.-It Is well known
that, among the other practices Of the Ro-

that Of confession. Several Of them have
introduced it, moro or less openly, in their
parishes. But, according to the tablet, a
Roman Catholic organ published in London,
an awkward Inconvenience has manifested
itself. Things whisperediu the confession
al have been afterwards openly talked Of IL
society; and it Is ascertained that the clergy
men to whom the confessions were made
are all married men! Here is developed one
reason for exacting c%elibacy of the Priest

BAD SIeN.-By the latest news from Cali
fornia we see that there was inSan Francisco
a large number of persons anxious to return
to the Atlantic States, but who have been
unable to do so for want of sufficient means
to secure their passage by the steamers. II
is possible that the restitution Of those men
is the result of their own Encouragement
or some peculiarly unfortunate circumstances
which did not affect the great body of the
community, but the fact is certainly calcu-
lated to arrest the attention of poor men
who intend to seek fortunes in that d.
