PITTSBURGH. Nov. l. 1S1

PITTSBURGH, NOV. l, 1859.
Dear Coloael:-We are on a flying trip
East, and shall pass away few leisure mo-
ments in giving you our impressions of
matters and things" as they have appeared
to us so far along the route.
1t is our first trip over the Pittsburg &
Fort Wayne Railroad, and pleasantcr one
it has never been our lot to take. The road
is in capital order--smooth and pleasant
the scenery delightful and inviting, the con-
ductors atfable and accommodating, the eat
ing houses large and commodious, with
tables neat and we'll supplied, and, in fact,
everything about it has that substantial and
porous business, and careful and experienced
managers. Through the courtesy of A.
Bradley, Esq, the Secretary, we learned
something Of the business of the road, and
are satisfied that it bids fair to be one of
the most profitable roads in the West-as it
is now one Of the most popular routes for
Eastern travel.
We reached Pittsburgh at three o'clock,
and dirty, smoky, disagreeable city it is,
to look at, but it's activity and go-ahead-a-
tiveness is remarkable, considering the sea-
son and the times. Here there are large
iron and copper works, immense foundries
and furnaces, glass works, and manufacto-
rics of al kinds, not forgetting the pale ale,
of which Pittsburgh and the Pittsburghers
are very fond. In a cloudy day, it gets
dark early in the afternoon, in fact, some
days, we We're told, that the street gas
burned until 10 or IL o'clock, A. NJ, and
was lighted again at 3, in the afternoon
There are many fine stores and warehouses
in the principal streets, but we failed to find
anything which would at all compare with
the princely structures of Lake and Clark
streets, in Chicago. During the afternoon,
we strolled over the city, and finding our
selves near the large shops of the Pennsyl-
vania Central Railroad Company, we call
ed upon J. d. Potts, Esq, the able and ac-
complished Division Superintendent Of that
road, who kindly showed us over the entire
workshops. The amount of work done
there is immense; the Company do all their
own repairing, as well as that of several
other roads. We noticed several engines
which were being rebuilt, and were told that
next year they should probably build all
their own engines. Here, too, is the largest
Round House" in the world; The "smok-
ing steeds" are stalled in this capacious
stable after the labor Of the day or night is
over. The Pennsylvania Central Railroad
does very large business, both in passen.
gers and freight, nearly twohundred freight
cars being sent out from Pittsburgh, alone
daily. Some idea may be formed Of the
amount of business done, from the fact that
there are, all told, in the employ of the road
over four thousand persons. We were
greatly pleased with our examination o.
these shops, and desire to express our graf
itude again to J. ID. Potts, Esq, whom W.
have before mentioned as Division Superin
tendent, for the courtesy and kindness which

w We clip the following notice Of
Senator HAMMER from the Marengo Ql)
Journal:
Hon. DAVID HAMMER.-This gentleman,
formerly our townsman, has just been elect.
ed to the Senate of Iowa, from the district
which includes McGregor, smart and
tourishing town on the western bank Of
the Mississippi River. 1t gives us pleasure
to chronicle the success Of Mr.. Hammer, for,
although we decidedly differ with him in
political views, we cannot but feel gratified
that success should favor the fortunes of a
warm personal friend, with whom mutual
ly pleasant intercourse and kind personal
regard had long since formed a bond Of
friendship beside which all political consi-
derations sink into insigni6cance. We
predict brilliant future for our friend and.
not only hope that he will twin a name,"
but confidently expect that he will take
high position among the most prominent
political leaders Of the State of his adoption.

THE SHO = MAKER
The shoemaker sat amid wax and leather,
With Iapstone over his knee.
where snug in his shop. he defed all weather,
Drawing his quarters and soles together,
A happy old man was he.
This happy old man was 80 wise and knowing,
The worth Of his time he we'll knew;
lie bris,led mis- ends, and kept them going,
And felt to each moment stitch was owing,
Cntl he got rourd the shee.
Ofevery deed his wax was sealing
The closing was firm and fast;
The prick Of his awl ne'er caused a feeling
Ofpain to the toes, and his skil OF healing
Was perfectly true to the last.
Whenever you gave him foot to measure,
With gentle and sRillful nand
He took it, proportions with lo"ks OF pleasure.
As II you were giving him the costliest treasure,
Or clubbing him lord of the land.
And many one did he saye from getting
fever, or cold, or cough;
And many foot did he save from wstting,
When whether in water or snow twas setting,
Ills shoeing would keep them of.
When he had done with making and mending,
With hone and . peaceful breast,
Rssigning his swl and his thread was erding,
lie passed from the bench to the gravedes ndini

The AnenIkeIshin

In speaking Of the Speakership the Buiia.
10 Courier says, but few Of that Spartan
band of Northern Democratic Representa-
tives, who battled for the last two years in
defence Of national principles, remain to
engage anew in the same patriotic contest.
But among the few survivors is ooe who was
foremost in efficiency and zeal, Nr. John
COchrane, of New York, entered Congress
without reputation extending beyond his
own State. But his vigor in debate and his
familiarity with legislative action, indicated
a capacity for usefulness that was speedily
recognized by his frequent elevation to the
Chairmanship Of the House in Com mittee,
and by the choice with which he was COM
monty honored to preside at Congressional
caucuses, Southern Democrats can do a
merited act of justice and at the same time
essentially strengthen their claims upon the
fraternal regard of the North, by according
a unanimous nomination to Mr. Cochrane
for the Speakership of the next House of
representatives.

The Opposition laugh at the fears Of The
people Of Virginia, who are apprehensive
that the abolitionists and free negroes Of the
North intend invading their State for the
purpose Of running away their negroes, and
il necessary, cut the throats Of the white
people of the old Dominion We are rath-
er inclined to feel sorry for the people over
there, whose nerves have been kept in pret'
ty severe tension:since the murderous affair
at Harpers Ferry, Situated as the people
are in that neighbOrhood, and prepared by
that raid to believe the stories they hear ey-
cry day about invasion, we do not wonder at
their fears
But what are we to think Of these same
opposition chueklers, who are constantly
frightened out Of their propriety by rumors
of the Democracy springing some trick up
on them in the Legislature Of Ohio, and in
Congress, when there is not the least danger
of il The Washington correspondent of
the Cincinnati Gazette has discovered a
frightfnl plan which Democrats are getting
up in Washington to wrest from the Oppo-
stion the speakership Of the Housel Talk
no more OF the terror Of Yirginians, ye..yal-
liant Republicans; they have some cause
more than you are willingtO aoknowledge-
for their fears; but you are the veriest chick
ens
Have you no faith in the goodness Of your
cause, and can you not trust the honest souls
you have chosen to represent you at the Ma.
tional Capitol2 They were chosen by you
at your primary meetings on account of
their peculiar faith in niggeFs, and because
of their perfect adaptation to the business
you have in hand, aud at the polls Ibe peo-
ple-~those who make black paranount TO
1ohite-endorsed the men Of your selection.
Can you not trust these, whom their friends
decided to send to the Legislature and t.
Congress as the embodiment Of Republican
ism-the perfection of oily gammon2
The dread of a Harpers Ferry raid 10
the Ohio Legislature and in Congress may
be based on sufficient grounds it is possible
that some Of the moguls of the opposition
have received notes of warning, and that
they are advised of projected insurrection
1t is possible, we say, that they have cause
for the AutteriDg they exhibit and until
they feel easy and appear easy, they should
not laugh at the nervous people of Virginia
who have more cause for disquiet than they
ought to have.
