A SSS ~lSS — THE ERIE RAILROAD WAR. Our Special Correspondence. Ex, Jannary 23, 1854 Discharge of the Harbor Creek Prisoners from Jail—Great Rejoicing Thereat--A Sabbath Sermon, dc. <0. The Erians have triumphed. . The intelligence of the | Gischarge of the Harbor Creek prisoners by the United Btates Court at Pittsburg has just beem received, and there is no bounds to the rejoicings of the sople of this olty, It was generally believed that Jadge Irwin w ad Uberate them, in consequence of t aittal of Lowry and King; but it wax not supposed that the ‘pleacurs of the Court,” during which taey were to be impriroped, Would be so easily gratified, The people are s:tou\shed As well as delighted with the result, and they hardly know what to attribute the wenderfu! chavge in the con ¢uet of the Court. When Jacks, Sherman, Kilpatrick nd the others, arrived at Pittsourg, they were incaresrat- ed, without » hearing, oa the tevtimony of a few ex parte tmesees; yet the teetimoay of there same witnesses in the case of Lowry King ls entirely ineffectual, al- thou, h it is said they swore very strougly against them. Judge Irwin was at i ccuséd of curraption; he was ebarged with baviog received ® bribe from the railroad company, but since the acqaitial of those men his char: acter has risen coxsideraoly in the estimati n of tha | Erians, So complete ia the change in the popaiar fesliag in bis fevor, that @ report of his having been seen to shed | tears ef compassion for Lowry and King during their ¢ is implicitly believed. x ; ee The railroad men have made no attempts to relay the track since the Marshal left, nor is it ihsir iotention to do so until his return Tais, how ver, is considered very doubtfal, for it is known that the Pesident has re fused to send any troops with bim, and that he has eald the time has mot yet arrived which wou.i justity the government ininter‘ering in the mat‘er. + Yesterday the Presbyterian minister, Rey Dr. Lyon, alluded in the pulpit, ina ew orief iemarks, to tae shameful manner in which himself and the religious ceremonies of bis church we squed in one of the daily pepers of New You, ‘I wisi,” +a: that uf -xomotombo,’ the scurrilous o scurrilous New Yock piper, ever under this church again that be will report tn Lyon is bighly respected hee, eveu by th roves of his course in regara u y between the peopl every one feels outraged mt th hh bimisel! and his congregat on ha nre-pondest aliuced to, Su: day posed by some who & direct reference to the witnesses « the Ele prironers, 1 wilgiva you a ) The rerererd ge.tleman took } ae, * s fay noveis of it, text from the leat orews :— He ac ibis teetimony: t Each pericd cf the world, however « had, be sald, its pious lumiuaries, wh hrmisphere, and wicked, up the moral d showed men tie way along which thay eafely walk through time toa blishful eteraiy, Ia that constellation cf sacied stars desorid=d by the anos: the in this chapte: is fouud Enoch, the seveoth from Adam.

The writer, from an imperative sese of Gaty, is com pelled to make the following statement in reference te the melancholy disaster to the ill-feied steamship Jan Franet The Sen Francisco, like a su nber of other vessels de- signed for th c trade, had @ serious defect iu the constract: er bull.

It will now be be easily understood why the plank covering this guard at the e¢ge of the hull was so rapidly beatea up by the battering rama formed by the heavyseas. This last fact being in cvidesce by the srew and passengers, who testify that immediately after the bresting down of the engine, and the consequeat loss of steerage way, the ship broach: Passeth all understancing, ehall keep our hearts aad minds through Christ Je:us; and amidst ali the changing scenes of life we shall have this fcr our reward, that ia simplicity and godly sinesrity, not with fleshly wiedom, but by the grace of God, we have had our ooaversation im the world.

JM Mass Meeting to Sympathize with the People of Erie. (From. the Vite! u g Post, Jam 24.) In pursuance of a call posted on the streets yester- day noon, a number of citizens of this city met pe evening in the room of the Cour: of Quarter Ses- sions. About three ‘hundred persons were in the court room at reven o'clock, when the meeting was called | to order by John Coyle, Esq., who moved that his Honor Mayor Volz take the chair. Mayor Vou stated that though an abler man than himself could be called on to preside, yet no one | could have been who sympathized more strongly than he did with the oppressed of Erie. Mayor Kina, of Erie, was called on to respond. | The Mayor reaponded to the call, and gave an inter- Cg ee succinct account of the railroad difficulties at Erie. He repelled the charge that the people of Erie had.violated the law—they were, on the con- trary, a law-abiding and law-loving people. The speech of Mr. King was listened to with great in- terest. He was interrupted with frequent outbursts of approval. Morrow B. Lowry followed Mayor King. made a lengthy speech, and indulged in a greater | amount of invective than the gentleman who pre- | ceded him. Mr L. also gave a history of the rail- road difficulties, and of the action of the Erie and | Harbor Creek people. Mr. Lowry’s speech was an earnest and satis‘actory refutation of the slanders urged against the people of Erie. A perfect ac- uaintance with all the facts of the case enabled this gentieman to lay them before tae people ina clear and earnest manver. Mr. Barron moved that & committee of five be appointed to draft resolutions expressive of the sense oF tne meeting. Col. M’CanpLess was loudly called upon. The | ‘Colonel made an eloquent speech in defence of the Erie people, deprecating the conduct of the Franklin Canal Company Railroad, and other eompanies who badshewn such an aggressive and domineering dis- ition. Col. M’Candlees conc:udgd by congrata- ting the gentlemen released from prison o% the oropability of their soon being in the midst of their families. Gen. Lanter, in a characteristic speec®, followed Col M’Candlesa. The General was as eloquent and witty a ueual in his remarks. He was peculiarly | bappy in his reference to the next gubernatorial campaign. The General expressed a deep love for the people of Erie, aud of the peonie of the entire State; and in addition to his explanation of the love he bore the people of the State, he gave an interest- ing account of the manner in which railroad bonds were so'd in New York, of the tonnage on the public works, &c., &c. The Generai’s speech was. upon the whole, an interesting and eloquent medley. Mr. Barron, on behalf of the Committee on Reso- lutions, presented a series of resolutions an.nimous ly recommended by the committee for the adoption of the meeting. The resolutions were read amidst great enthu- He | siasm. Mr. Extrorr, of St. Louis, asked permission to make a few remarks. Consen’ was given by the meeting, and Mr. Elliott said he was a stranger, but a native of Pennsylvania, and felt a deep interest ia ali that concerns State. He op the passage of the resolutions, because it would have a bad ef- fect jn the West, Although the gentleman's re- marks were in opposition to the general feeling of those in the meeting, be was listened to with great interest, and utly interrupted with hearty ap- plause. Mr. Elliott read the citizens of ‘Pittsburg and of Pennsylvania « severe lecture for what he called their ‘narrow minded policy.” Mr. Lowry replied to some remarks of the gentle- man reflecting on the conduct of the people of Har- bor Creek, Erie county. Mr. Gazzam also made some remarks. He placed the question upon the principle of State sovereignty, and ing from this proposition, he made eloquent on the question. Jasrar E. Baavtry followed Dr. Gazzam in of ition to the resolution reflecting on Penasyivants The resolutions were then read separately, and all , with the exception of one reflecting on the of this State, which was withdrawn by the committee. The resolutions are as follow: Whereas, The lat:§eiMoulties at the city of Erie given rise to very great excitement, and, a+ we delieve, the oocasion har, been usad fer the purpos the true state affairs by tho And ¥ we are of opinim that the raid diffisalties have out of aretion not merely of love! intersat, atge que-tion of State policy, and to be fully under: stood should be divested of ite mere local ings. whereas, we are of — that our sister States of \ York and Obio have bees treating it as @ question of Btate policy. And whereas, we are of opinion that the inane between the contending pariies, our pighbors of Erie and the New York and (cio Railroad monopolies, an been truly defined by Governer Bigler, in his late menage, and shown to ba question of State policy, and t one to ine interenta of Penasyivacia, That ‘his meeting with the highest apprecia- i 2 of all that i doe to our sisters, New York Ohio r ed to, ard fell into the trough of the sea. fo render this matter intelligible to all, it'is only necessary te state that « ship im this situation woold be strack by the sea with giant force equere up n her beam, and consequently woula be thrown over on her opposite beam. Imagiae now the ation of the versel: her side would form an inclined plane, up which tle vast waves would rush with hundreds of tons force due to the body of water and the momentum of the came. Observe that this ho; of water is rudcerly arrested by this projectin guard. Can it mow ba wendered that t holl, opened fore and sft to receive the deluge, thould be at once partially swamped with water, #0 as to require the most strenuous exertions of the buncreds on board of her to keep het yeiokiog. The force of these tremendous blows of the sea striking agalost the goarda is of such po: as to make the vessel rib ate anc quiver to her very kee]. Common sense will sug- gest to rbip owners the following alteration ia the guards of vess¢'s now builtor to te built. If, for instance, th deck bevma which coptinue ont beyond the nail were cut off flush with the eawe, the beams then requisite to | form the guard might be sbuited simply against the side of the bull, and supported by simpie kones or light | fen Glayons) braces.

Irvine Hovss, New Yor, Jan. 12, 1854, To Jamzs Gorpon Bennett, Esq.: Sir—In the Heranp of the 234 ult. you pub- lished the following paragraph, in the letter of your Washington correspondent dated December 22, 1853:— I mentioned several weeks since that serious charges were preferred sgainst Gov. Gorman, of Minnesota, aod that it was understood the President had determined not torend his name into the Jenate for confirmation unless the charges were cisproved. It is now said that Gov. Gorman has thus far failed to do ro, and that be will be imma iately superseded. Again, in the Hxatp of the next day your Washington correspondent telegraphs— The charges agaiost Gov. Gorman, of Minnesota, are un‘er:tood to be ef such a character and so well authen ticated as to render his imme removal certain, It is be ieved Mr. Sibley will be appointed ia his stead.

The commi:sioners appointed by the President to investigate those and other charges have taken the testimony, giving Gov. Ramsey every opportunity to vindicate himself, have reported the testimony of both sides, and in their report have found that Gov. Ramsey did violate the law and treaty pelea Whether that finding is just or not isa fact to be decided by the testimony, which [ presume will be soon published by the United States Senate. The investigation of the alleged violation of law and treaty stipulations in this transaction was strict- ly confined by the commissioners to the offisial con- duct of Gov. Ramsey. The acts and relations of other gentlemen mixed up in the affair were not cousidered, or allowed to be investigated. T have no disposition to prejudice Gov. Ramsey in public estimation, having already, as @ jouraalist, performed my duty in the case; nor do I desire to occupy yourcolumns with a defence of Gov, Gor- man; but in justice to all parties, and to corrett erro- neous statements, I request you to publish this no’e, which, judging from your course heretofore in pub- lishing the current statements on both sides of the Minnesota controversy, I have reason to believe you will cheerfully grant, © Very respectfully, .
