THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPII PHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY, JUNE 15, 1871. 5 TO WILLIAMS- Editorial Oorrespondtnee of The Evening Teleqraph. 1 1 WiLLUMsrOKT, June 1, 1ST1. I No more striking illustration of the progress of Pennsylvania could well be given than that furnished py the varied scenes along the railroad route be tween Philadelphia and Wllllamsport. That portion jof the Pennsylvania Railroad which was formerly .known aa the Columbia Road furnishes the Ont wink m the Journey. Being one of the first railways J onBtructed in the United States, it still bears too many traces of its venerable antiquity, bat they are, fortunately, now rapidly disappearing. When It was constructed, the idea of successfully nslng steam as a motive power was ranked as a possi bility rather than as a probability, and the practi cal thing aimed at was not to build hn approximately straight road for locomotives. ut a comfortable, easy-going, circumbendibus torse railway with curves leading to convenient land popular old turnpike taverns, and curves lead ing from the lands and barns of Influential old fogies who had a particular horror or new-fangled improve iments, as well as from hills and valleys requiring an pnssual amount of cutting down or filling op. The partial rectification of this primitive system of engi neering has been slowly progressing for some years, iut thorough reconstruotlon baa been only Irecently attempted, and at this moment hi la progressing so rapidly that soon a (Substantially new railway will be in operation for 'more than thirty miles leading westward from Phi ladelphia, affording such a marked Increase of faci lities through the combined use of old and new tracks, and such an admirably constructed line in the entirely new portions (part of which is already n operation), that one of the oldest of American ailroads will speedily become in every sense and la very detail one of the very best. Attar noatlnir thn linn nf thn Phlladnlnhla anrl Co lnmbia Railroad and approaching Ilarrisburg, the old rcanal system looms prominently into view, stretch fng westward and northward along the line of the Susquehanna and Its tributaries ; and, while It still retains Ita utility for heavy freight at favorable easons, it recalls many reminiscences of the days Of paoket-boats, when a speed of five miles an hoar was the best resource for the speed of twenty-five u -r- b - mlles pei hour with which we were whirled along 'yesterday over the Pennsylvania (from Philadelphia to Ilarrlsburg), the Northern Central (from Ilarrls burg to Sunbury), and the Philadelphia and Erie Railroads (from Sunbury te Wllllamsport), making a trip of two hundred miles in eight hours. The aspect of the country, and especially of the 'towns along the line, has improved nearly as much as the facilities for travel. Hamlets have grown Into villages, villages Into towns, towns into cities. iwhile many spots unknown by special designations 1to our ancestors are now important depots or sta itlons; and the work of improvement still goes j "bravely on, with the continued construction of new I railway branches, of additional tracks on old rail ways, and of new Industrial establishments. P Throwing out of view all material interests, the Vide from Philadelphia to Wllllamsport offers to the lovers of varied, beautiful, and romantic scenery a .'aripnf snlsnrlfrt attractions. After the eve of the tourist has lingered with delight npon the suburbs of Philadelphia, Chester Valley, and the broad ex panse of fertility opened np In Lancaster county, .there commences a grand succession of mountain I ridges, and picturesque gaps formed by the Susque- tral portions of the State ; the west branch extend A lng from Sunbury to Wllllamsport ana far beyond, while the north branch forms the bed of the valley of Wyoming, and, with its forks, traverses a large portion of the tier of northern counties. Along the banks of the Susquehanna the scenery assumes a new loveliness. Its broad, placid waters are framed into a glorious picture by the grand con tours of Clark's Ferry, a short distance beyond Har Msburg. Further on, the graceful carves harden Into severer majesty, and pallsade-llke bluffs rise from the stream in long stretches of regular rock, looking like the vestiges of the city wall girdling the home of some extinct giant race. At each succes sive step in ascending the rler the scenery la hap pily diversified, the bills at times assuming gentle undulating curves and again rising in harsher lines Into proportions . of greater grandeur. The Skies lent their best aid to heighten the charm by that succession of sunshine and shadow which reveals every beauty in the landscape rich With the opulent verdure of June. The wheat fields gleamed with all the soft and lustrous inter mingling shades that mark lta approaching ripeness, and the oats swayed softly in gentle ripples of sil vered greenery, while along the roadside a summer enow of elder blossoms showed an unwonted luxuri ance, in the miast oi toe wtue expanse vi iuo waters of the Susquehanna, Innumerable tiny Islands were clothed in greenest grass or tangled thicket, and the luxuriant verdure spread on every side until even that most prosaio of all utilities, the tow path, brightened Into a gleaming thread of green braided Into the silvery ribbons of the water upon either aide. Near Northumberland a rugged land scape answers fittingly to the name, and the moun tain sides are ploughed with rifts that beneath the anffanino effprt nf distance show like belts Of rich. j warm brown gleaming frem between the fine forest f trees, and te complete the faultless panorama a N sunset of golden haze rested upon the mountains, changing them Into a purple tint as rich aa It la rare, ard ushering in that loveliest of all hoars when over the green meadow stretches the golden rays of the lingering light, and the stars slowly marshal Into rant through the shades of twilight. J. L. R. BISMARCK AND JAY COOKE. Letter from the German Premier to. the American Hanker. Last June Mr. Jay Cooke, who was then at "Gibraltar." Lake Erie, learning through Baron Gerolt that Bismarck contemplated visiting this country, and especially desired retirement and rest, sent a cordial Invitation proffering to the Count the hospitalities not only or hisjjtsland home, but also those or "Ogantz," bis residence at Chelten Hills. Witblu a few days Mr. Cooke has received the following autograph letter from Prtuoe Bis marck, Bkrlih, May 18, 1ST1. Dear Sir: Your letter of the 13th or June last reached me on the 11th or July. If you remember ,bow shortly that date was followed by the French declaration of war, you will excuse the otherwise unpardonable delay in answering so kind an invita tion. Being about to embark In a diplomatic cam paign very likely to lead to an armed conflict, I .felt doubly impressed with the charms of your secluded Island and your delicate hospitality. Peace la now happily restored, but a great deal remains to be done at home, and I do not know when It will be given jn to satisfy my old longing for your country. Ac cept the atsuraacesot my heartfelt gratitude and distinguished consideration. von Bismarck. To Jat Cooke, Esq., Philadelphia. Communication. To the "Editor 6f The Evening TeUgraph. It is hoped you will pardon the writer In occupy ing yonr valuable columns with a few confirmatory remarks respecting Franklin B. Gowen, Esq., Presi dent of the Philadelphia and Reading Railroad Com pany. Long Blnce, having become solicitous with refer ence to tne policies which would seem to govern the management of the railroad corporations of oar State, much uneasiness was occasioned on my part, upon the Inauguration or this gentleman, as to Whether the admirable example or his predecessor wnnid be adopted, or whether he would be hurried aiong In the current or the age and drift into the errors and abominations which really appear to be leaguer the office of a railroad president, implied bv this anxiety, the writer has for more &r Bcrutlnlzed the acUons of Mr. Qowen with respect to the policies which he has Instituted . th advancement or rhe Interests or shareholders, and as regards the principles by which he has been rovemed in his transactions with the patrons of the 'ROM PHILADELPHIA POUT. that a gentleman by which Is meant a ron of honor Is par excellence qualified to represent the position of railroad president, and that the corpora tion which Is thus governed becomes divested or its objectionable features to the community, and in being unincumbered with the private Interests of officers, directors, and employes, assumes its true character of an Improved highway, securing to Its owners their dues, guaranteeing to its patrons their rights, and becomlDg a powerful auxiliary to the Industrial progress of the country. la his career he has presented as example or re form in their management, which must before long arouse the attention or the publlo to the ract or how little good is comparatively derived, and how much more could be attained under a proper guidance or these modern instruments or advancement; Indeed, It may be said Mr. Gowen occupies the enviable at titude or a model railroad president. la attesting this much, more la meant than the mere declaration would seem to imply, because "to be hoieit as this world goes, Is to be one man picked ont or ten thousand." In fact, a model railroad president must adminis ter not the arbitrary regime of Napoleon with the Iron conscience or Nero, bathe requires 'he quail tlea or unusual precision, rare intelligence, and marked decision joined to unflinching integrity, pro. priety, and justice. In this position (wnicn la made honorable only when honorably represented) a man's nature la tested and developed. The power with which he la invested and the beguiling allurements with which he is surrounded, the Influence which he wields tbrosgh the money-bags or the corporation, show him as he 1b, undisguised, it may be, as a leadal tyrant, or as a Christian gentleman, who In his offi cial capacity la not unmindful of moral da lea to wards his employee and those who are largely de pendent upon the nse or the highway under hi di rection. la conclusion, it must be admitted tha' Mr. Gowen, avoiding the exercise or arbitrary corporate authority, has, by a modest bearing and by an ad ministration or honesty and justice, acquired an Independent moral power which, la not begetting enmity, has, like the magnet, gathered around it the Bupport or the community in evidence of Its own strength. In the practice of these virtues, this gentleman exemplifies the early teachings or his venerable and highly respected father; remembering, also, that while "it is excellent to have a giant's strength, It Is tyrannous to use It like a giant." One Who Abes no Favors, A Building Sited bt a Firs Extinouishkr. The utility of Ore extinguishers la dally becoming more apparent, and at no distant day they will be regarded as essential in every well-ordered house. Of their real value in the event of fire, frem any cause, we have a case in point. During the thun der storm of Wednesday evening last, the Chester Dock Mills, in Chester, Pa., owned by Messrs. Lewis & Parker, were struck by lightning. The building was set on fire, which the watchman attempted to extingu sh, but not succeeding be blew the whistle of the factory. This attracted the attention or some of the employes, among whom was John Clough, who hastened to the mill, and procured one of the Union fire extinguishers belonging to the firm, by the aid of which he put out the fire, and saved the factory. The damage was but Blight. Those who believe la the old adage "that an ounce or preven tion Is warth a pound or cure" should obtain one or these extinguisners without aeiay. .from the West Jersey Pre. . , O I T Y ITEM S. I. L.

Dear Sir: I like the a.me rlcsn better than any sewing machine I have ever used. I can make a better button-hole on It thaa can be made by hand; but, of course, it takes practice. I have made fifty-nine (59) button-holes in twenty (So) minutes in skeleton coats. I have bad the machine four months and I have made 6688 button-holes in coats, which have all proved satisfactory. I have changed the machines from button-holes to plain sewing a great many tunes, aud it never geta out of order.
