Ten New Locomotives.

\ joint resolution was reported in the House
of Representatives of this Stat, on Wednesday
last, authorizing the Canal Commissioners to
purchase ten new locomotives, to be used upon
the Columbia and Portage Roads. An amend
ment was offered that these locomotives cost not
over SO, 900 each, and the resolution as amend
ed, passed. We are confident that the business
which will be thrown upon the Portage Road
after the canal opens in March, cannot be trans
acted unless additional locomotives are provided.
The Locomotives in use on the old Portage are
entirely unfit to draw a train ofcars up fifty or
sixty foot grade on the new Portage, as cans be
daily witnessed between the foot of Plane No. 4,
and the connection below Plane No. =. Large
locomotives, such for instance as are used on
the York and Baltimore Road, of thirty or forty
tons each are the kind that should be provided,
and such as these, engines of equal power,
are the only kind that will transact the business
on the new Portage Road. Whether the amount
specified as above is sufficient to purchase loco
motives of this description, we know not; if it
is not, the amount should be increased. Small
or medium sized locomotives aciU not answer;
they must be large and have immense power or
the road will be ''stocked" with cars.

Gen. Robert Patterson

We notice with feelings of pleasure, that the
name of the above distinguished Pennsylvania
is menti oned in connection with q Cabinet APP
pointment in the administration of President
PIERCB-that of Secretary of war. Gen. Patter-
son needs no praise from us; his pure character
and unstained reputation man, his self-sac-
riicing devotion as a soldier, his eminent posi-
ton as q democrat-as a leading member of the
party of right and of the country-are known to
all, and equally cherished and admired. His
most excellent business qualifications, his adml-
rable address, pleasing and instructive conversa-
tional qualities, are additional testimonials in
his behalf The selection of such gentleman
for so important a station, would be guarantee
that the duties incumbent upon him would be
discharged in able, mastery and highly salts
factory manner, and would merit and receive
the appreciation of the people 1 this section
there are many of the brave men, who served
with distinction in Gen. PATTERsON's division of
the army in the Mexican war, who would be
greatly pleased should their former ''brother in
arms" be chosen to preside over the War De-
partment. Under his control the wants of the
service would be properly and judiciously atten-
ded to, with proper care for the maintenance
of order and discipline in the department, and
the execution of every trust with remarkable fl
deity and commendable despatch.

DR.. Thomas C. Bunting.

The following notices commendatory of oul
estimable and gallant friend DR.. Thomas c. Bunt-
ing, late Register of Wills, Philadelphia, viii meet
with hearty response only from those who
served with him in Mexico, but from all who en-
joy the pleasure of his acquaintance. The Pitts
burg Chronicle, says
| This gentleman, who was Surgeon to the Penn
sylyania regiments during the war with Mexico,
and who, since the ending of that memorable
campaign, has been Register of Wills at Philadel-
phia, has, we observe by the Eastern papers,
retired to private life. We remember very well
after the return of our volunteers, praises of Dr.
Bunting were upon ali their lips; and it is this
IrecOlection which now prompts US to notice him.
He was kind and attentive to those we liked.
and by his attention to them he gained the love
of all.
From one of the Philadelphia papers we select
the following compliment to the Doctor and his
public cOurse:-stHe has made amost competent
and efficient officer, and has given entire salts
faction to the members of the Bar, and to all
having business in his Office. He retires with
the best wishes of hosts of friends for his pros
perity, and of whatever he may have made du-
ring his term Of Office, lie is fully deserving f;r
its good administration. His successor will be
fortunate if he gives equal satisfaction in the
Office

On Sunday night last, Mr.. Michael Kane, a

near Jefferson, in this county. He was seen in
the evening in a state of intoxicatiOn, and in
wandering around at night fell into mill-race !;
he succeeded in getting out, and lay down in a

morning, dead. An awful warning to those who
indulge too freely in ardent spirits.

The weather, last week, was wet, foggy, disa-

Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday nights, of this
week, were very cold; to-day, snow is falling
and sufficient for seighing is anxiously looked
for. Get ready the robes and bellies.

Race of a Madmau,

John Madden, rishman, liling in Warren,
while in a state of delirium tremeRs on Thursday
morning of last week, left his family ofchildren,
whom the mother had entrusted to his charge for
few days, aud taking off his boots and stockings,
and coat, which he left by the way side, ran from
Warren to Spencer, distance of twelve miles,
before he was overtaken, although Immediately
after he left he was hotly pursued with horses
and carriages. The race occurred during the
severe storm of that morning, and when Madden
was overta'n, his feet and legs were badly froz' n
and his feet much lacerated by contact with the
frozen earth. His flight through West Brookfeld,
Brookfeld, and East Brookfeld, IN the face off the
storm, and almost in state ofnudity, is describ-
ed as frightful, while his speed was almost that
of deer. He was taken back to Warren, and
upon being asked where he was going, he guessed
he was going to sign the pledge. barre Gazette.

Executive Mansion.

A bill has been introduced in the Legislature,
providing for the construction Of suitable house
for the Governor of the State to reside in. We
are in favor of such bill, and only wonder that
years ago. There should be genteel, well fin
ished, and sufficiently large house built at Har-
risburg for the Governor to occupy. And the
Governors salary should be increased, thou
sand or two, to enable him to ''do the honors"
for the old Keystone in clever style. The pres
ent salary scarcely supports decently and
should be raised if the mansion" is built. We
hope the bill may become a law and the house
be built during the coming Summer

Monument to Henry Clay.

A number of distinguished members of Con-
gress of both parties have recently in published
card recommended to the country the. erection
of IA suitable Monument to the illustriOus Clay,
in noticing which the Washington Union, with
great propriety and justice says :-' However
many of the American people may have differed
from Henry Clay on certain dividing issues
agitated during his life, none wiz deny to him
the great qualities which impartial history must
award to him a bold, eloquent, and patriotic
leader, and as the advocate and the champion
of our country's cause during more than one
trying crisis. The closing scenes Of his life were
among the brightest of his career, and the ev-
idence of his great power as a statesman and
patriot were never more brilliant. The thou
sands who have responded to his appeals and
who have admired his character, will not fail
to assist in the tribute by which the affection
and thegratitude of those who were his neighbors
during his lifetime, propose to commemorate
his long and disting'he services to his country"
