Vi Vlvg!■ : ‘ 1 in T.-vi- ; six miles square in Middle War Nashville; the Elk River, a naviga- M>W!Weam, passes through this land. There is a ba ■ sin of the cannel coal on this land, close to the sur fs face of the ground, more than a mile square, situated f elose to the river, which must be worth thousands of dollars. In addition to all the above, he also owns .over one thousand acres of coal land in Schuylkill ♦county,, in this State. In Reading he owns above •2.7 dwelling houses, all of the best kind, besides a vinevard of two acres—and is one ot the heaviest stockholders in our large cotton factory, and owning in various factories, <fcc., much more stock than we have any positive knowledge of. Look on this pic ture, and contemplate it as the result of energy and perseverance, and if you be faint of heart, hike cour age —for what has been done, may be done again. A Polite Politician. —The Boston corresponden ’ of the JV. Y. Post gives this funny description of Mayor Bigelow, who isspoken of as the next Gover nor : The favourite of the wliigs, just now, is the Hon. John P. Bigelow, the extravagantly polite Mayor of the city, i once read of a healthy, robust man, who ■on meeting his family physician in the road one day, hid behind the wall, but being discovered, excused his conduct by saving that it was so long since he had been sick,"that he was ashamed to look a doctor in the face. Mr. Bigelow belongs to the same class of men —be makes you think him your most obedient servant, for the most timid and slightest cause. — Should you bow to him in the street, his manner would convince you that you had laid him under a deep obligation ; you would almost think that he was about to draw forth his purse to reward you for your trouble. When the democrats came into power a few years ago, and turned him out of the office of Sec retary of State, he retired, with such a grace that it smote the very conscience of the party,and they have never been able to forgive themselves for the act to this day; and should ire make his appearance in the democratic convention, I verily believe that he would bow himself into a nomination, and run Boutwell oft itbe track. British White Slavery. An agent of an American cotton manufacturer of New York, sent to Great Britain to collect statistics in regard to her cotton manufactures, returned in 1840, and said in his report: “Said an of a factory; in the n >rth of England, to me, ‘How do youVmanage to get along with republican operatives ? I never flfould superintend a factory where I could not do as I pleased with my hands, llere we can make them liehave; the, know tfiey are in our power, where they ought to be, t-nd they walk straight. I never would go round the mill and revest a hand to 7b> this or that*, I would give him ray if that him some thing eh* r have been in the wouldn't jjiav there. You can’t fit id a man, woman <f r child there, a? gpodr as his employer.’ £ 44 Thie,i*ii j|lrit pervades the whole body proprietors ->n>l overiooker*there are some exceptions to th e general rah; but as ac] fts, they are overhearing and Exacting.

The special appointment of the in charge, at that hour, will consequently be post poned, for a season. Our Next Volume. SS3T To enable us to perfect the arrangements in hand for the improvement of our Journal, the Ist No. of the 2d Volume will not appear until April sth, two weeks from to day. In the interval should any news of importance or a press of advertising favors require it, we shall issue an extra and send it to all our subscribers, in town and country. With many thanks for the liberal encouragement already extended to us, we solicit a continuance of like favors for the year ensuing, from all who have thus far journeyed with us, as well as a renewal of that word kindly spoken which re commends us to others. Let each old and new subscriber REMEMBER that $2, sent us, (free of postage) on th receipt of the Ist num ber of the 2d volume, will entitle the sender to the “Citizen’’ for one year from the date of subscription. If payment be delayed, the price will be, invariably, $2. sft, in three months, or $2, at the close of the year. Let all interested in saving a half dollar “take due notice and govern themselves accord ingly.* 5 Discontinuances. — w e expect, of course, to have some aiders to discontinue our paper at the close of the an nual subscription term, owing to death, removal, &c., but we hope the number will not be large, and that in every case, the notice of discontinuance will be made before the term is out and that it will be sent to us, free of postage, with a fulf discharge of all past indebtedness. Otherwise we shall be swindled in a small way, without it being so intended. Post masters will oblige us by prompt notice of the refusal of any subscriber to take the Citizen out of their respective Post Of fices. Award of Premium Postponed. At the request of several persons, we have postponed the period for receiving Original Contributions, (designed to com pete for the Premium of SSO, advertised to be paid by us,) from the Ist March to the 15th of May. This will afford time for a more general competition, and enable us, we trust, to elicit a number of sterling papers from various sources, while it will not interfere with the claims or rights of any who have already sent in their productions. We therefore repeat the offer previously made—that a Premium of SSO will be paid for the best Original Tale found ed on Southern incident and of good moral tendency, not exceeding one page or a page and a half of the “Citizen,” which shall be sent us by the 15th of May ensuing. A com mittee of respectable literary gentlemen will be selected to award the premium, if in their judgment, there is any con tribution of sufficient merit to entitle it to the distinction of a prize story. The whole of the tales contributed to be at our disposal and to be published in the “Citizen,” if deemed worthy. Each tale should be accompanied with a sealed en velope containing the author’s name and residence, which shaft not be opened till the award is made. Mr. Tucker Found, —The body of Mr. Nathan Tucker, who disappeared last week, was found yesterday floating in the river aboHt two miles below the city. lie had no doubt, in a fit of insanity, thus destroyed himself.— A Coroner's jury sat upon the ease yesterday, and the corpse was brought to town and iuterred. The Dinner to Mr. Cobb. —We were not able to be present at this Festival, but from what we learn of the af fair, it was worthy of the man who was complimented—-wor thy of those who paid the compliment, and last though not least, every way worthy of the reputation of mine hojt of the “Lanier House,” where the table was spread; Mr. Cobb addressed the assembly in an able speech of about one hour. Several other gentlemen also gave utterance to the burning words of patriotism, on the happy occasion. To the | Odd Fellows! Look Out— A scamphim self Prof. Tew, is advertised in the Ohio and papers as a swindler and impostor, who an Odd Fellow, and has gained clandestine admittance thereby into the confidence of the brethren. “He is professor of “Anthropology,” which signifies, in Sam Slick’s vernacular, “ human natur /” By the way, is not the business of Pro fessorship run into the ground,a little, these days? Scarcely a humbug showman comes along, but lie is either a Doctor or a Professor of one of the “ologies’’ or “pathys,” with an abominable hard jaw-cracking unpronounceable name! The public are getting surfeited with such Professors and their impositions, The Proverb Poet. —Martin Farquar Tupper, Esq. the talented author of “ Proverbial Philosophy,” arrived in New York, in the Asia. He will remain but a short time. A Cardinal. —Bishop Hughes of New York has been created a Cardinal. A few years since he was a working gardener. Fugitive Slaves .—Two fugi’.ive slaves have lately been recovered at Philadelphia, one at Pittsburgh, two at Albany, Indiana, and two more cases are under considera tion at Brownsville, Pa. There seems, indeed, to be a better disposition manifested, every where, except Boston, to carry the late law into effect. In the Philadelphia case, there was an infinite deal of hard swearing in behalf of the fugitives, but it was of no use. The perjured scoundrels could not ac compli .h their purposes. New Hampshire- -Dinsmore, the Hunker Democrat ic candidate for Governor has been defeated by 4000 votes. The Legislature will, however, be of that stripe, it is said, and will elect their man. Freesoilism is very rampant in the Granite commonwealth. Gen. Cass .—This gentleman was lionized considerably at Tammany Hall, a few days since, and made a capital Union speech to the old heart-oak Democracy gathered to give him welcome. Millinery. —Mrs. Damour has received her Spring supplies of fashionable Millinery, which she will be happy to show to her customers. Mrs. Worthington, also, has opened a fine assortment of Goods in the same line, next door to John L. Jones’ Cloth ing Establishment, which sho is prepared to sell on accommo dating terms. Failed to Appear —Chaplain, the Abolitionist, who stood charged in Maryland, for stealing the negroes of Messrs. Toombs & Stevens has failed to appear on his trial and forfeited his bond of $19,000, which has no doubt been made up for him. Pittsburgh Amusements.— Knocking people down and relieving them of their small change is now a common pastime in the city of Pittsburgh. Error Corrected. —In the census returns, as publish ed in our last, there was a mistake made by the transcriber in annexing the number of slaves in Lowndes county to that of Clinch, and vice versa. The following is the correct return as forwarded to Milledgeville. Lowndes—white 5359, Slaves 2355, Total 7714. Clinch— “ 508, “ 129 “ 637. Queer looking Folks! — An old edition of Morse’s Geography says: “Albany, N. Y. has four hundred dwelling houses and two thousand four hundred inhabitants, all stand ing with their gable ends to the street .” Horrible. —“A negro in Taulding, Mississippi, having committed an outrage upon the person of a white lady, and afterward murdered her and her son, the citizens turned out cn masse, arrested the negro, and burned him alive. * CIT 11 SH , Operatic.— Tedesco and Vietti are giving Concerts in kunah.

But we will not attempt an outline, even, of the able and splendid effort, in the assurance that the public will be favored, soon, with a copy of the whole address, and can then judge of its merits, save in the important point of em passioned delivery, which must have been witnessed to be du ly appreciated. Its brilliant corruscations or Aurora-Boreal is glowings will necessarily lose much of their dazzling beau ties, when “cramped, cribbed and confined” in leaden co lumns. In the evening, about one hundred persons sat down to a sumptuous and elegant Banquet served u( by mine host of the Washington Hall, K. S. Rogers, Esq., and which did jus tice to his well known skill, as a caterer of good things. Geo. M. Logan, Esq., presided at the Feast, assisted by A. R. McLaughlin, Esq. as V. President, and the Committee of ar rangements. After the cloth was removed, the following Regular and Volunteer sentiments were offered, many of which were responded to in felicitous style, the whole being interspersed, with song and repartee, of varied and interest ing character, which fully verified the distich, “llow noiseless falls the foot of time That only treads on flowers,” For the small hours of ‘luesday morning came upon most of the festive assembly, before they were aware of the lapse of time. Regular Toasts. 1. The Harp of Tara: “Now mute and mouldering.” May the clasp of tyranny that binds it soon be dissolved, and its notes of sweetness be blended with the song of free dom. 2. The memory of George Washington: Neither the voice of the past nor the tongue of the present, can tell a name like his. 3. The day we celebrate: Endeared to us by the bright est link in Ireland's history. “Tho’ dark are our sorrows, today we’ll forget them.” 4. The President of the United States. 5. The Governor of Georgia. 6. America —the home of civil and religious freedom— home of the emigrant and the exile. When other nations are struggling in the embraces of tyranny she walks free and fetterless—planting one foot on the Atlantic, and the other on the Pacific—laying one hand on Europe, and the other on Asia. 7. The Shamrock: “ A’ type that blends Tbfee god-liko friends, Lov#, valor, wit—forever; Chosen leaf Os bard and chief, Old Erin's native shamrock.” 8. ‘lreland —“the land that bore us,” May the clouds and gloom that hang upon her now, be soon dispelled by the rising sun of freedom. “Wert thou all that we wish thee—great glorious and free, First flower of the earth, and first gem of the sea, We’migbk hail thee with prouder, with happier brow, But ohl could we love thee more deeply than now.” 9. The memory of Daniel O'Connell: Ireland’s great est son. “lie left a name whose echo, from the abyss of time, shall rise, and float upon the winds into the far here after.” 10. The signers of the Declaration of Independence. 11* The Patriots of ‘9B.’ —“Hearts that yet Like gems in darkness, issuing rays, They’ve borrowed from the sun that’s set, Beam all the light of long lost days.” 12- The past. “There is a pleasure in the pain, That brings us baok the past again. Whatever hue our recollections take, Even the regret—the very pain they make, Is dear and exquisite. 13. Woman. “Her every tone is music’s own, Like song of morning birds, And something more than melody, Pwells ever in her words.” Vilmeer Toasts. By the President of the day: Ireland. By A. R. McLaughlin, Esq., V. P. 1 The Irish Patriots, Meagher, O’Btiaii &ttd Mitchell; A iioble triumvirate. The cause of patriotism and honor suf fered when they foiled to redeem Ireland.

Lochrane, Esq.: The memory of Bishop England; Though his spirit dwells no echo, he left a name on earth which reverence, and deeds which cg.s yet aid Temperance. By On the so .-s thy country bore, For thy song of Erin's sorrows, Here's a health to thee, Tom Moore.” By Mr. Carolan : The Shamrock and Ilarp; The one the emblem of our nation’s faith 5 the other of her nationality. By Mr. McNaught: Charles Gavan Duffy ; The ever-ready and unbought ad vocate of his country’s freedom. Repeal numbered him a mong its first and strongest allies. The Tenant League owns him its founder and friend. “The Nation” breathed his sentiments; its soul-inspiring strains of poetry aroused the national pride, and its passionate and courageous appeals re vived a spirit of liberty that will never die. By Benj. Trapp: St? Patrick ; He banished the snakes from Ireland—may another St. Patrick arise to banish the British also. By John O’Keeffe : The union of the Orange and the Green; Like the Si ameser Twins, bound together by a vital chord, which if sev ered will prove fatal to both. By Dr. L. F. W. Andrews : Osborne A. Lochrane, Esq., the Orator of the day; As an ancient Irish matron once said of her school boy son—the “ stuttering Jack Curran,” “Oh Jacky, Jacky, what a preacher was lost in you.” So may we be allowed to spy, “ Oh Osborne, Osborne, what a preacher was lost in you,’’ when you took to the gown instead of the cassock. (This was responded to in a very happy manner by Mr. L.) By a Guest: The Exiled Sons of Erin: Though driven by tyranny from their native soil, they have found a land, where the Shamrock can flourish in perrenial bloom and vigor—the “ land of the free and the home of the brave.” By Mr.Sullivan : Grattan and the Volunteers of “ ’82.” By Mr. Nesbit: The Orrs, the Fitzgeralds and the Emmetts of 1798.

Be sides, whatever they subscribe for they read, whether it bo good, bad, or indifferent, if they once subscribe for a paper they are sure to read it, upon the principle, we suppose, that if they did not their money would be thrown away—as an old lady, whom xvc once knew, for whose sick servant girl tho Doctor had prescribed a dos of oil; but as the girl would not take the oil, she took it herself rather than let it be wast ed.
