P-1SOur neighbor ot tho Cameron
iVci.tet u liia hack an J ( its like a
venerable and ferocious Thomas cat at
our little cjiiil) concerning the 15. it W.
It. R. iu our issue of tlio 'Jth inst., as
if that article was u huge " dorg " tres
passing ou his preserves. Wo had no
intention ol rubbing his i'ur tho wrong
way, but we are gbnl wc have elicited so
courteous a reply.
The statement that the 15. t W. II.
is to terminate at Emporium is an
inismn that it is to run " clioik into the
Drii'uvood hills." There is no coal in
the immediate vicinity of Emporium,
the Cam..:i ii mini's being five miles
t'lum that thriving city, to which Now
Vovk ami Philadelphia ara merely fulj
urbs. Nor is there coal in workable
iUantitti's ou West Creek cast of Beech
Woml staiim), the faitrth coal basin
passing to the westward of Emporium
near the heads ( I Driftwood", and a road
up Potulo Creek crossing to St. Mary's,
thct.co to CcntrcvUlc and down the
Little Toby to Jefferson county, would
traverse tho whole length of that basin.
The same basin might also bo reached
by the cast branch ol the Clarion at
Johnsoulurg, where there is quite as
jiiuch coal as at Cameron,
Tho statement that the Cameron Coal
Company has shipped more coal thau all
tho companies in Elk county combined,
is of course, the mere assertion of an
angry man, since it is well known that
more and bitter coal is mined at almost
any mine in this county, the production
on'y being limited by the facilities for
transportation. Humor says also, though
how truly we do uot know, that Tanner
dale has tilled contracts where Cameron
coal was refused.
Finally, we do not believe, however
cftcn our Winnebago neighbor may as
sert it, that any company of capitalists
can be fraud willing to throw away their
scvcnthirties on a railroad over the
1'ortagc hill fur the sake of any or all
llwcocl within tho limits of Cameron
county. M.
SrTho Erie Jh'.-iilch of Tuesday
last has a short article in which the
writer attempts to make capital against
ProoiJcnt Johnson ou the strength of
so'iiethir.g written in a book recently
published, and written by one General
li. C. Baker, who it will be remembered
fi :ured conspicuously iu tho capture and
trial of the assassination couspirators,
1 who was also one of Holt and Stan
loo' limps during the War, which ex.
n 'ed i o.iitien with its associations would
e:. title him to the condemnation of all
hwiicnt men. This same Baker, if wc
.r.e not grossly mistaken, was convicted
ly a military court for sublimation, of
v,'!nes.ses, and i now publishing this
look iu order to raise funds to pay the
ii:.e imposed as a puoihinotit. Such a
creatine wo would not believe ou his
rath, let alone his mere assertion in a
m nsation book.
Wc wou'.d nlvisc tho JJltpatih, if it

t pies and knaves to traduce apolitical
uiemy, it had better juit it altogether,

Tor the i:ik Advocate.
It Wiis'iiiidntiiht ! In a lonely chain,
her lighted by a RjK'ary latrp, a widow
ed inoihenwas watuhin at tho cradle
of hev Kick vhilil, whose low l.ioans
pioiec.l her heart, nud whose feeble
breath fecund to indicate his approach
ing dissolution. Oh, who can depict
the anguish of that mother's heart dur
iiig''.iiai fcarf.il 'vip,;! '!
The chil l was her ilol, all that was
li ft to her of her or:ner 1 a iiii(.:i i t.d
must she resign it ? The very thought
seemed to drive her mad. Now with
clasped hands ;r.d streaming cyss she'
would .pray that Iliavcti would spare
him; then she woullboud low over
him to ice if ho still breathed.
Thus she passed many hi;urs of in
tense anguish. Again she dropped up.
ou hcr'kiiei's, and a prayer, jnmro ler-
vuiit than the rest,aro.-e to the Almighty,
the burden of which was, " l'i
spare my child."
Her prayer was heard. Tlio crisis of
the child's illness wai passed, and hope
again dawned in the breast of the mo
thcr. Again she prayed, but now it
was heartfelt gratitude that she poured
out at the shrine of her Maker.
Years .glided ctilmly on.; tho boy
grew in strength and beauty, and was
tho joy aud pride of his mother. All
tier nopes were cetitrca in inm. site
hoarded her scanty pittance that he
might not want ; she worked early and
lute to procure him a good education.
Iter pleasure consisted in seeing him
happy ; for him she lived, and for him
she would williugly have died. 15ut
soon anxious rears oppressed her. She
perceived that as her boy approached
manhood, he found -more pleasure in
gay society than in his humble homo.
The boy loved hor, but was ruoklosa
aud wild. She feared, but as yet, knew
not all.
Again it is midnight ! It is just
twenty years since the widow kept that
tearful vigil. Again the is watching,
but uot at the bed of sickness. Those
lonely watches have become quite fre
rjucut ; her son has acquired the habit
ot kj. ending his evenings away from
homo ; aud to judge from his condition
on his return, hss net been iu very
choice company. She implored him
with tears in her eyes, and by all that is
ho'.y and just, 'te.givo up Lis bad habits
and ineud his -evil wi;ys. Ifo would
promise to do better, but these promises
were made only to bo again broken.
It is growing later than usual, and
the clock strikes the hour of three. It
arouses her from the revery iuto which
she had sunk, and a strange gloom op
presses her ; she fears some accident
has happened her hoy, whom tpito of
all, she still loves dearly. She hears a
kuock and flies toadui:t him. He comes,
but not as she 'has seen hhn depart,
full of life and vigor but homo in by
two of his companions, lifolcvvaud dead,
A Aril J shriek is heard, and the mo
ther falls senseless to the floor. Alas,
that she would never recover to hear
the dreadful tale. In a quarrel with
one of his dissolute associates, he had
received a blow which cau.-ed his death.
What tidings for a mother? She saw
him kiid iu his grave and soon follow
ed him. Grief lor his wild career and
untimely cud, shortened tho life whijh
had been divoted to one so unworthy of
tho sacrifice. VIOLET.

That a sufficient price has baeu paid

that God freely offers forgiveness of
sins aud eternal life to every man
through the merits of Christ's death ;
that now there is nothing to hinder the
salvation of any man but his own unwil.
lingncss to be saved ; this, I said, every
Christian firmly b'lhvcs. Not that wo
leel any less certain of this than wo are
of such facts as that the sun shines or
ihc rain falls, whea we sec that it is
so ; for the tr.,tlinon oo which our
knowledge of this truth rests, wo hold
to be equal to that cf our own senses.
15ut it is "by faith wo know ; " for we
brlli re that He who cannot lie, has said
lhat " God so loved the world as to givo
his only bcgoltcu Sou, that v.howiier
brliWeth Ji'm, may not perish, but
m y have lift- cvtrl'iiti'nj." And as nn
illustration of tho way of salvation, and
tho universal offer of it, wo are told,
(John a, H, lo)" As Moses lifted up
the serpent iu tlio deceit, so must tho
Son of man bo lilted up: that whosocv
cr believcth iu Him may not perish, but

Anuthkh Vindication- Hardly a
day passes now but some circumstance
points to the retrogression of Radicalism.
Every election that takes place they are
driven like chaff before tho wind.
Last winter tho Radical Legislature
passed " An Act to establish Criminal
Courts for .Dauphin, Lebanon nud
Schtiykill couulics." It erects those
counties into a " First District of Crimi
nal Jurisdiction ; " requires the estab
lishment iu each county ol a court of
record with crimiuul jurisdiction ; creates
a president judge to preside; takes from
the court of quarter sessions and oyer
and terminer ol Sehuykill county all ju.
risdiction over felonies and mUucmean
ors, and vests il iu said criminal court ;
empowers tho president judge to order
cttra sessions and to di.tpcu.se with jury
courts whenever ho may deem it cxpe.
dient ; empowers the governor to appoint
a president judge and jury commission"
ers for Sehuykill county, to serve until
new oues shall huvo been elected under
tie new jury coiumissonors law 4 make
it unlawful to summon grand jurors for
the court of qunrtcr sessions and oyer
and terminer of Sehnykill county ; &c.
Tho animus of this act can be easily
discerned by any one. Its object was to
create a lot of offices to be filled by
favorites of Governor Geary.
The people of Sehuykill county
brought tho case before the Supreme
Court, when tho act was unanimously
decided unconstitutional. M.
Si:rttKMB JuDnr.. Appearances now
"o to show that Judge SharsWood, of
rhiladelphia, will bo tho candidate of
the Democatic party in tho coming con
test lor this important position. Judge
Sharswood is tho author of several
Works on law, and is said to have no
superiors in point of abrlity in the State.
Dcsides his other qualifications, ho is
said to be a true gcntlamaii, au honcut
man, aud if elected would make an
admirable J udse. M.
Suruatt's TiiiAL.-'-Thc trial of
John II. Surrartt, on motion of the Jrov-
crmitcnt, was postponed uutil tho 10th.
of June, in order to afford time for the
procurement of the attendance, of several
important witnesses. United States
Attorney Carringtnn and Judgo Pier,
pout briefly argued in favor of postpone
ment. Several important witnesse were
absent. Efforts had been made to seen rc
them but without success. Ono was in
New York ; a second iu Maryland ; a
third in Michigan ; a fourth an actor
who had gone to Califoruia. There
witnesses may potsibly appear at any
day. New testimony and new facts
also had been rceeutly discovered. New
developments had also been mado n the
case. The prosecution would not like
to go to trial unless it was perfectly
ready aud prepared.
Judge Merrick replied, stating that
tho counsel for defonco Lad been dili.
gently cngagod in bringing witnesses to
Washington at a heavy expense, one
of ilium from Canada, airotliei from tho
extreme southern end of the Union. It
tho case was further continued, or po?t.
poncd till next term, it would be impos.
sibla to keep the witnersos hero.
The court thought it Would be well
to call Jhc witnesses, iu order to deter
mine whether (some future day bo tet
for tho trial. 1
Judgo-ricrpont moved that tho case
bo pospoDcd until tho 10th of June.
Mr. Hradley opposed the motiou. Ho
raid tho United (States had had ample
tiiuo to have their witnesses for prosecu
tion here.
Tho court, after consideration, said
that tho cu:o would be postponed two
weeks from to-day, iu order to aft'oid
further time to procure tho attendance
of witucssi'3.

Until to day nothing was ever thought
of sacrificing to our country s wrongs.
For fix months wo had worked to cap

liis picket;, rode sixty miles that niht,
with iho bene of my log tearing the flesh
at every jump. I cm never repent it,
though we fiated to kill. Our countiy
owed all her troubles to him, and God
simply made me tho instrument of his
punishment. Tho country is not
(April, 18i)3,) what it was. This forc
ed Union is not what I have loved. I
caic not, what becomes of mo, I have
no desire to outlive my country. This
night before (ho deed, I wrote a long
article and left it for one of the editors
Of tho Ndllunal Jntilllenecr, ill which
I fully set forth our reasons for our pro
ceeding. He or the government.
April 21t. After being huutcd like
a dog through swamps, woods, and last
night being chased by gunboats till 1
was forced to return, wet, cold, and
starving, with every man's hand against
me, I am hero in despair. And why ?
For doiug what Brutus Was honored ;
for, what made'Tclla hero. JAnd yet I,
for strikiug down a greater tyrant than
they ever knew, am looked upon as a
common cut throat. My action was
purer than either of theirs. One hoped
to bo great, the other had not only his
country's but his owu wrongs to
avenge. I hoped for no gain. 1
knew no private Wrong. I struck for
my country, and that at once ; a
country that groaned beneath this
tyranny and grayed for this end.
And yet now behold tho cold hand
t hey extend to me. God cannot pardon
mo if I have doue wrong. Yet I cannot
see my wrong, except in serving a dc
generated people. The little, tho very
little, I left behind to clear my natno,
the government will not allow to be
printed. So cuds all. For my country
I have given up all that makes life
stvect aud holy ;'hrought misery upon
my family, and am sure there is no par

though I have a greater desire, and al
most a mind 'o return o Washington,
aud iu a measure clear my name, which
I feel I can do. I do not repent the
blow I struck- I may "before my Cod's
but not to man. I think I have done
well, though I am abandoned, with the
curse oT Cain upon, . When If the

Who, ffho can read his fata ? God's

the military government of tho South,
