CNIOV CANAL of St. Louis. In this first adventure since the revival of the furtradej to the Rockymountains, it is gratifying to learn that no hostilities of any kind have occur-ed with the Indians, and that present appearances promise great success to the enterprising Citizens, who are now extending their trade to that remote region. Twin Calves, Chilocothe, Nov. 13.

We were, on Saturday last, in common with a number of other Persons, favored with the sight of these beautiful Animals. They are Twins, and were raised and fated by our respected Fellow-citizen, George Renick, Esq. of this neighborhood. They are 7 years old and tor size and beauty have seldom been equaled in America. The Steer was weighed in our presence, at the Hay-scales in this town and was found to weigh 2996 pounds.

The Heifer is nearly as large as the Steer, and is supposed by good Judges to weigh within 200 pounds as much but, as she appeared somewhat wild, it was deemed unsafe to weigh her. We understand that it is Mr. Renick's intention to take them down the river to Orleans.

Afifiointment by the Governor. Lancaster, Nov. 30. We invite the attention of our Democratic Brethren to an article copied from the American Volunteer. The views of sentinel deserve the serious consideration of every Friend to Democratic Ascendancy.

We also take the opportunity of adding our congratulations, on the triumph of good old Feelings and Principles over political Knavery. We do rejoice to see the virtue and good sense of the People, driving from their abused confidence the Authors of so much mischief and disgrace to our State. Nothing more than common prudence can now be necessary, to retain the stand we have regained at the late Election and, by the coming Election, wholly to retrieve the character of the Commonwealth. It is true, we cannot undo many of those mischiefs. For instance, we cannot remedy the horrible extravagance of Hiester's Administration, by which the Public Debt has been increased, more than a million of Dollars.

This must be borne by the People. THE NEXT GOVERNOR. In our Paper of last week, we gave our Readers a list of the Persons held up for consideration, as Candidates for the Executive Chair of the State. We copied the list from Democratic Newspapers, offering a few general observations of our own, on the subject. Agreeably, therefore, to the plan laid down, for our conduct in this important matter, we proceed to give the impressions and sentiments of the Democratic Party, as to the kind of Man most likely to unite the Family, ensure the ascendancy of pure Principles, and a faithful administration of the Government, founded thereon.

In addition to the Extracts in our preceding columns, we give the following information, derived from a highly-respectable Democrat of the West 4 We will support no Man for Governor, who The Editor, this week, was gratified with a view of the most important link in the whole chain of this Canal. The her culean excavations that have been made at the summit-level, induces a belief thai nearly all the difficulties have been surmounted, and that if similar industry is exercised for 2 or 3 years to come, the whole work, so interesing to Pennsylvania, will assume an appearance so imposing as to convince the most sceptical of our Fellow-citizens, that the Union Canal bids fair to be the proudest monument of art that was ever conceived in this Country, the Newyork Canal excepted.

We understand, that on Sunday-week, the following distressing occurence took place in Schuylkill county A Farmer, by Name, Fries, residing near the head of the great Schuylkill, saw a Deer bounding along not far from his dwelling, and seized a heavy-loaded gun, which he discharged at the Animal, but missed it. Just at this moment, 4 of his Children steped from behind a hillock, in the direction which the shot took, and all of them were wounded.

The eldest, a young Woman, between 20 and 22 years of age, received a part of the contents of the gun in her bosom, and expired shortly afterwards in great agony. It is hoped the other 3 will recover. It is easy to imagine how the unfortunate Father must feel, under such circumstances.
