Advancement.

Everything in our country, at present, indi-
Gates improvement and progress. Population is
rapidly increasing; the resources of the soil and
its substrata, are developing; new fields are be-
ing cleared land the lumber that has stood upon
them in spontaneous luxuriance for ages, is rap
idly being transmitted into buildings and ma
chinery new mines are opening up and poar
ing forth their rich treasures to mankind Plank
Roads, Turnpikes, and therthoroughfares, rami-
fy TO numerous points in all directions. New
Post Offices have lately been established to sup
ply the demands of new settlements, and old
ones now grown more important; churches and
school houses are found in every quarter, and
ADVANCEMENT seems written upon every thing
around.
1t is surprising to the older inhabitants Of our
borough, to notice its growth within the last few
years, and the number of buildings now in prog
ress and under contract, to be erected duriug the
present year, will greatly add to its size and ap-
pearance.
Ebensburg, is a town in which there is as
much industry and as little idleness, as any
town the State can boast of. An indolent
man is a curiosity here, and the few we have,
are well known. One of the greatest blessings
of our race is to have something to do, and the
next greatest blessing is to do that something.
Mechanics of almost all kinds find abundant
employment here, and although we have good
many, and good quality too, still the demand
is greater than the supply, and more would do
well to come. We particularly need a good sill
-ar-crnith or matchmaker, several coopers, and
any number of brick-1nakers and masons.
g Our lands broad enough, don't be aIa-rncd.'

DIED

1T Hemlocll, on Saturday, April 18th, at 10
P. E., Owen McCann, formerly of Indiana coun-
ty. He died in consequence Of injuries resulting
from an accident on the Portage Railroad, which
occurred on the Saturday previous to his death.
The deceased was a young man aged about
26 years, and his untimely loss is universally
regretted. Ofan iron strength of physical con-
stitution, temperate and industrious, there was
reason to suppose that he would be blessed with
length Of days" He was a good man: kind
hearted, he was a dutful son and affectionate
brother; energetic, intelligent, Of the most un-
compromising integrity, he was an excellent
citizen, who performed his duties well in all
his relations Of life: modest and unobtrusive,
the qualities of his mind and heart were Of that
sterling character, which wear well, but were
only appreciated in all their excellence by his
more intimate acquaintance.
He was prepared to meet death. During the
week of his sufferings, with both limbs crushed.
he was composed, and did not murmur he evil
IDENTIFY had LITTLE TO regret-resigned, perfe city
conscious, he sank calmly to his rest.

dence in this borough, Mr.. ARTHUR NOBLE, aged
30 years

IMPORTANT TREATY WITH ENGLAND.-I'ri-
vate advices TO the ~ Y Herald, state that
either the Herman, from Southampton, or the
America from Liverpool-the next steamer due
will bring the draft of Convention, conclu-
ded between Mr.. BUCHANAN, and Lord ABER-
DEEM, on behalf of their respective governments,
by which England admits in the approaching
European war, the doctrine that the flag covers
both ships and cargo, and that free ships make
free goods also pronouncing the right Of search
for the impressmcnt Of seamen SO far as Ameri-
can vessels are concerned, and conceding the res
friction as to the law of blockade.
In return, the United States is pledged to
strict neutrality and non intercourse in the com
ing contest between the Western Powers and
Russia.
This is a most important Convention, and has
bee negotiated by Mir. Buchanan without in
struction from Wash ngton. It is important as
it affects our rights and our commerce, and pla-
ces us in the position that we should have occ n
pied years and years ago. It secures our neutral
ity without any treaty stipulations, as 1t removes
the cause Of war, and at once enables us TO be-
come the great carrier on the seas Of the world.
The Convention, and the correspondence with it.
viii probably be submitted to the Z. S. Senate.

but II years fage was connected with the Pro-
vincial militia, and at the battle of Lexington
played the fife for one of the companies. His
fathers house was ransacked by the British
troops. During The last quarter Of a century he

Usw Law Of Libel.

a new law of libel is pending in the Legisla-
ture of this State ofconsiderable interest to the
publishers Of Newspapers.
It proposes two important alterations in the
existing law. The first of these is, that in pros
ccution for libel It shall be lawful for the accused
to give an evidence any fact tending to prove the
truth of the published allegation, and that the
publication was made with good motives. and
justifabe ends, and was necessary for public in
formation and if these points be proven to the
satisfaction Of the jury, they shall acquit the ac-
cused. The second is that the owner, publisher
OF editor of newspaper shall not be held respon-
sible, criminally, for the malicious act of a per-
son in his employ, unless it shall appear that the
act was perpetrated with the counsel, or consent,
or at the suggestion of such owner, publisher Or
editor.
These are important alterations, and if enact
ed into the authority of law, would have mate
rial tendency towards removing some of the bur
thens under which newspaper editors and pub
fishers now labor.

" From our exchanges, we learn that there
is some doubt about the authorship of the ia
nous Hulsemann letter, for which Webster recei-
we'd so much praise. Hon. Edward Everett, it
appears, claimes to be the author, but the follow
ing article from the Pennsprania1 gives still
stranger cast to the Hulsemann affair:
''We have heard strange story in regard to
the Hulsemann letter than all this amounts to-
1t has been asserted to us, and that too upon
good authority that after Mr.. Webster had writ
ten his letter, and after it had been received by
the Ambassador, he met the Chevalier at party
in Washington, and the conversation between
them naturally reverted to the correspondence
The story goes that the Chevalier spoke of the
letter as placing him in a delicate position, and
exressed his inability as he was al present ad-
vised to reply to it; that Mr.. Webster laughing
ly volunteered to write his answer-that in good
faith the offer excepted, and that in short
not only the letter, but the reply of Mr.. Hulse-
mann, both proceeded from the pen of the same
man. Strange as this story may appear to the
casual reader, and strongly as men may be in
clined to doubt such an occurrence, we seriously
good reason to believe the truth of the narration
nor can we see in the character of Mr.. Webster
and Mr.. Hulsemann, any strong argument to
doubt the authencity Of the revelation"
