a correspondent, who has just paid a
visit to the Jackson county, West Wiz.
giuia, silver mines, writes to the Park
-ersbnrg Ismes the following facts OBJ
tanned from the Superintendent, Mr..
VIM. Cunningham: The company now
operating is composed ofsix gentlemen
from Pittsburgh and vicinity, Of which
Mr.. Fisher is President, and Mr.. Conk-
ers Secretary. They are known TO many
as the Pittsburgh Silver Mining Com
Pany-" They have been to work about
two months, and have sunk smart ~
by l2Ik feet clear, to the depth OF bOtset.
There nave been three wells bored in
the vicinity, all finding the "stuf" at
various depths. The we'll nearest the
shaft s.struck" as follows: First show,
go feet; End, go; main vein at 33S feet;
more or less quartz was found above all
three Of these veins; about six feet was
passed through before striking the main
vein, 80 was Informed. The site ofthe
shaft was chosen by Prof. Vim. Elkhotf,
n German geologlst and a member OF
the company. The rock now being
thrown out has been analysed and
found 10 contain per centage ofsilver
equal to forty dollars to the ton. The
C0LupAuy seem very CUuuuGuL anu uc-
termiued to "see it through as soon as
possible; they are about TO place large
engine-and intend TO work night and
day, SO they say.
Half million acres of land warrants
issued to Pennsylvania by the United
States, for Agricultural Colleges, were
sold Friday at the Surveyor Generals
Office, Harrisburg, at from IS to 60 cents
per acre. When 1t is considered that
there are over ten million acres OF these
warrants already issued, and all the
Southern States yet to receive them,
and that the same kind of warrants is
sued TO Maryland, Ohio, Kentucky and
other States, are selling at only so to 81
cents per acre, the State officers of
Pennsylvania deserve great credit for
having realized to the Treasury nearly
sevenLy-iye thousand dollars more
than the same warrants could have
been bought for of other States.

OFFICIAL CHay6E.-Gov. Geo. f.
Cole arrived here last Tuesday, aud
the same day qualified and entered
upon the discharge of the duties of
his Office. His predecessor, this far,
has failed to turn over the paraphe-
MALTA of State, claiming that he is
waiting instructions from Washing
ton to govern his action in the'prem-
Uses. What it is anticipated the
nature of these instructions will be,
none but the few satellites of his
departed majesty have any means Of
knowing, unless that Mr.. Pickering
has mighty confidence in the ability
of Arthur to avert the impending
ruin. Meanwhile both branches o;
the Assembly have recognized Gov.
Cole as Executive of the Territory,
and he discharges the duties re-
quired of him by law. We thought
Pickering would die hard, but we
had no idea he would so indiscreetly
show that Mr.. Coles appointment
was the heaping Of Goals of fire on
his head. One hundred guns were
fired on Thursday evening as testi.
monial of respect to the newly
appointed Executive.

OLb2AA@& 4@<~~
The whole difficulty in which the
country is now involved, may be "a
ticnally accounted for rs the natural
and necessary consequence Of a de-
parture by the people, in the first
instance, aud by their representatives
in the second, from the few great
fundamental principles upon which
the Federal Union was originally
based. These principles may justly
be considered not only the tounda-
tons upon which the Government
was built, but the only ones upon
which it was expected to stand.
When first proclaimed, as correct
ives the abuses of arbitrary power,
they were held to be self.evident
truths, and for many years after the
Revolution Of '76 they remained sa-
cred household words with all classes
of the people, but as we receded
from the period of our National birth,
they have gradually ceased to color
and govern public opinion, until we
have arrived at that point where we
seldom hear them referred to as rules
by.which we are to determine the
right or wrong of any proposed pub
lie measure. Twenty years ago the
slavery agitator was in danger of
being rotten-egged, and exposed to
other indignities, whenever he at
tempted to harrangue the people in
any of the Northern States upon that
subject, not because there really was
any sympathy with the system Of
slavery in the abstract, but because
it was held that under the Constitu.
ton it was the right of all and each
ofithe States to regulate their o,cn do
m,essic institutions to suit themselves.
BY persistent hammering upon it az
moral evil, the public mind was al
length induced to qualify the rule,
and accept the construction that this
right did not extend to the perpetu'
ity Of that which was contrary to the
principle Of universal liberty and
wicked in itself. The ice was bro
ken when the people were induced
to believe that they had a perfect
fight to discuss the affairs of theil
neighbors, and the succeeding
steps, which have led us to the pres
snt situation, were comparativel,
easy. We would not. cavil with the
the more anti-slavery man about the
good Of the purpose in hand, for sue
