Curtin for Vice President, nnd that the right of substitution for alwont del egates be solely with tho delegation from the Slate," The vote on the res olution showed thnt two-thirds, at least, of the Convention fiivoreil Cur- tin', mid accordingly- it was desired to mako it unanimous. This wc believe, . Is party u-iage and very, disreputable, , . at that. Wc call attention to it simply to illustrate how "the case being al tered" can "alter the case." A Con- ; 'grertsmau will bo nominated soon to ' ' represent the 24th District. Greene -. County will send conferees favoring '. one of her citizens. Whether, or not, she can obtain a majority of the con ference, she will insist upon her riprbt to be heard. The result may lie dis astrous, just as the action of theoppo- nenU of Curtin would have been, and perhaps may Imj yet. From the great number of those who have taken up the gauntlet for the minority we are led to hope for svmpathy. And why not? The cases are parallel. Don't . let nshear anything, gentlemen, about "" phrtv fealty, if the result is as stated The hatred of fiction is only exceeded ly that of the opposit ion, is often said, i Wc go farther and say, when carried to extremes, it is worse.

Finally, the Senate proposed to amend tho bill by reducing the tax on the products of petroleum and other bitu minous sulstanees to one-half that now imposed. This amendment pass ed the House, as did also an amend ment reported by1 the Committee of ars and Sloans imposing a (ax ol $2 on every 1,000 worth o'. sales of manufactures' in excess of :,000 an nually. " Ah additional section was also' passed wherebv the fraudulent! distillation of spirits renders the' distil lery anil apparatus liable to confisca tion, and imposes a line of not less than ?500, nor. more than ?5,000 on the distiller, beside .subjecting him to linDnsonment, on . conviction, lor a tcnu of not less than six months, nor nior than six years.,. Axssine in is, an arocnd.iuent was passed, forbidding the allowance in future of any drawback on account of Internal Revenue tux heretofore paid on manufactures ex ported, and which, by the operation of this law are now teiieved from such tax. '-. On Thursday last tho Senate non-concurred in the action of the House, and asked for a Committee of Conference, which Committee have agreed to the Lillas ameuded ; so that now the tax is removed from all articles of domestic manufactures except thnt imposed oh "gas made by coal, wholly or in part, or of any other material, or illuminating, lubricating, or other mineral oils, or articles the products of distillation, redistillation, or refin ing of traii .petroleum, or of a single distillatioVof coal, shale, pearj aspfaal tu'ra,' or otlicr' bituminous rJ8tance8,, S which are; b nay one-half the tax iftherto imposed,) on wines, toliacco, and all nianiifacturca ikcreof. . . to- partiacffljrlbriner imifenchment precedents, and reviewed generally the testimony to be brought forward to sustain the charge. The argument oc cupies twelve closely printed columns in the daily papers, , At the conclusion of this speech the Managers proceeded, through Mr. Wilson, to offer documentary testimo ny for tho prosecution the oath of office of Andrew Johnson iu succeed ing to tho Presidency, tho certificate of Chief Justice Chaso to tho oath, the nomination of Mr. Stanton as Secre tary of War bv Mr. Lincoln and his confirmation by the Senate, being pre sented and read. Tho message of the President to the Senate assigning rea- sousfbr his suspension of Mr. Stanton was then commenced, hut in the midst of the reading the court adjourned un til lucstlav, On Tuesday tho hearing of testimo ny was proceeded with. IhetestiniO' ny was chiefly of a documentary char acter and in relation to documents connected with tho removal of Mr. Stanton. Burt Van Horn testified ns to the interview between General Tho mas and Mr. Stanton, when the former demanded possession of tho War De partment. . He was subjected to a long cross-examination. Tho' testimony of Chai. Crccey, appointed Clerk of the Treasury Department, was listened to attentively, as it showed a recognition by the President of the validity of the tenure of office law. On Wednesday tho Republicans were satisfied with tho progress and character of the proceedings in the trial, At the opening of tho trial Mr. Sumner obtained tho sense of tho Sen ate on the question of the right of the Chief Justitx) to vote when the Senate was equullydivided, which was decided iu favor of Mr. Chase by 20 to 21. The counsel for the President labored strenuously to have the various con versations of Thomas ruled out, but in all caes they were overruled either by the Chief Justice or the Senate. Mr. Burleigh, Dakotah, finished his testimony begun yesterday by relating that Thomas had declared that he should use force to get into the War Department if necessary, and after wards that his arrest by civil authori ties alone had prevented him. Mr. Stanberry's cross-examination of this witness was of a higher order than that of yesterday.. Samuel Wilkinson, the well-known journalist, gives a very- clear account of an interview with Thomas and tho statements of tho lat ter on two occasions that he should call on Grant ibr troops, and that he did not sec how Grant could refuse. The mnnngers show better prepara tion than counsel Ibr the defense, nnd no point presents itself which they do not seem to havo forsccn. Thursday, the interest in tho trial perceptibly falling oil',, not ono-half tho gallery was filled by spectators. llic testimony rested nininiy upon the President's nttcmpls to defeat the. rati fication of tho constitutional amend ment.. It was proved conclusively, by telegrams to Southern provisional Go vernors; that he did. The managers expect to get their evidence all in by Saturday night, unless somo unexpec ted delay occurs, lhcy aro highly pleased with the progress of the case, and with the temper of the Senate, and have got on thus far more rapidly than they had hoped to do. , . ,. Friday, the time was consumed ex amining reporters in rclatiou to the President' Cleveland speeches whilst "swinging round the circle," iu 18G7. His offensive nnd abusive language was proved correctly reported and ad mitted us testimony, which greatly an noyed and disconcerted the counsel for three yearago, during the sudden rise of the Diinknrd Oil Region into prom inence, and thesimultanioiis discovery of lead and otlicr minerals in localities farther South, I was first impressed with tlie necemsilu of a railroad that would connect Pittsburg with the heart of the Southern States direct. That it would be a great advantage was certainly known to every think ing man long before. Subsequent, in vestigation Tins tended in every way to confirm the truth of those impress ions. Let us look at tho situation as it now stands, What is the position of ' Pittsburgh with regard to the South? Simply this, while she is the 'great manufac turing metropolis of tho United Stntes and destined to head the list of the world; nnd while her manufactures are peculiarly needed in the agricul tural regions" tlmt lie South of Mason and Dixon's ; yet with three-fourths of the area of those Stotes she has no practicable communication whatever, save by, tedious and circuitous routes, and by paying a heavy freightage on all her wares. But if she wants the South as a market, the South needs her no less for the same pur pose. Starting Southward from Pittsburgh we at once encounter the rich farming lands of" the Monongahela Valley, with their wealth of cereals live stock, fruit, produce and lumber; with their ! I . i l' 11 on, on hiki lewi , nun n prunpuui ui more valuable minerals, developing nnd yet to bo developed ; and, nnd as a crowning item to the whole the in- exliaustable. rendily accessible, and almost incalculable supply of coal. It is one thing, I know, to read the ab stract calculations and reports, and quite another to traverse this entire region, as I have done, and see thcre ality. I am convinced that if the cap italists of Pittsburgh could see the ex tent nnil importance of this region, in stead of rending about it, it would not be many days until we beard tho sound of the pickaxe, nor many months un til wo were startled by the scream of ths locomotive all along this Val ley. Passing through West Virginia we have along the entire route, a country abounding in lumber stock, fruit, pro duce and minerals. Reaching New bcrne the proposed terminus; we tap the East Tenncsse and Virginia Rail road, and from thence have direct rail way communication with all the Southern States, with New Orleans and cities of the Gulf and South Atlan tic seaboard. I have before me the en gineers report of the survey of the Ten nessee and Pacific Railroad, which isa direct route from Knoxvillt' to Nnsh- ville. cutting off one hundred milerf of distance, nnd as the report states, des tined to mako the shortest lino from Norfolk to Memphis, ami thence to Guvainns on the Pacific coast, via the proposed Southern route of General Fremont. This enterprise to which a liberal amount of State aid is offered and which has good prospects of a siieeuv completion shows that our "Southern brethren" are getting fully alive to the necessity of the times, nnd that Northern enterprise will soon find a competitor and a rival from that quarter. This direct concction will be of material advantages to a road from PiltsburgJi. " This new route will also add great ly to the develop incut of Eastern and Middle Tenncssecr This country was not adapted to slave labor, and hence was passed by as worthless by the do votees of the "sacred institution."" It is but recently investigation has prov en this hitherto negiected region,-to lefcnse, they having relied upon shut ting out a great deal of the proof by which it W-as .oxpected to prove the tenth article. The stories telegraphed in variousdirectionsof defection among the Republicans and of a sufficient number to vote against conviction to secure acquittal are wholly sensational. there aro no signs ot such rosujt ap parent to those who should lie able to ascertain thein, if there were any foun dation at nil for the report. Thcro is but little ground ' for believing that any considerable number of. Senators will countenance delay, as a motion to adjourn until Monday for rest, was defeated by a decided majority. : J ' .Is tho Pittsburg court of quarter sessions, on the 31st ulL before a full bench, a decision in tho case of George B. Vashon, a colored lawyer, was ren dered. Voshon, some ti me since, made application to be admitted to the bar. The case was argued at the time, and excited considerable interest among the legal faternity of Pittsburg, but no decision, was given until Saturday, when his adinision was refused, on the ground that lie . had not produced a certificate of admission from the courts of which he claimed to be an original member.', ; ,. V : . . Tub Union Pacific Railroad is com pleted to a point twenty-seven miles west of .Cbeycnnej ana within four miles of the highest summit on the entire route. The number ..of,; men employed in. that' scation is 8,000. , bo unsurpassed for- stock-raising even in iexas, and it is claimed by intelli gent men, who can give good reasons for . their claims, that it is tho bm fruit-raising ' section in' the Union, without exception. General Jackson once remarked that "the time would come when this would be the: garden spot of tho United Stales." Its min eral advantages aro equal to any part of tho ' Allegheny range. . A direct road to Pittsburgh would thro-v all these advantages into her lap. In short the whole country within two hundred miles ot iSewbcrno is setting, and will lapidly fill' with Northern eraegration. : This is the re gion that contains the loyalty that must eventually, spread and leaven the wholo South; - While this ia boing done the industrial interests of the South will grow to such proportions as perhaps the most sanzuine would not venture now to predict and then the timo will be when all can plainly sec. mat aireei communication,- wim tho most practicable TOutc,: if not the only one, will beViathc Monongahela Valley, But it is asked, is not the expense too great to incur now ? I answer no for thefollowing reasons i " ' 1 ' 1st. The land owners of the Mon ongnhela Valley eould afford to donate enough money to build their portion of tho route, if railroad stock was worth nothingand from the increase in tho value of their land alone,' they would realize one hundred per . cent on their donation. .t ; ' ;I .. 2d. As the route traverses thq en tire lernrth of the youne and euter- prisingjState of West Virginia, could well afford to build her portion of the route, and would bo well repaid for the capital invested. 3d. And finally, Pittsburgh could make a good investment by building the entire line, because she would al most monopolize the the trade alluded to ; and, as at first ' remarked, be cause it will be to her a commerciul fi terest. - Ii. IlAnnoD Bell. Flatwoop, Fayette Co. Pa., , : .... March 27, 1868. TotheEdilor of the Pitts. Commercial:-' ' I see in your paper l&nreh 21, a liVuH Srwm G. W. Daugherty, showing up to the inhabitants of Western Pennsylvania the utility and great ad vantage (especially to the city of Pitts burg! of a direct communication con necting the North and South by means of a railroad leading from Pittsburg toNewbern, located on the Virginia and Tennessee Railroad, in Pulaski county, Virginia. Mr. Dauglicrty is correct when he says the prospect is sufficiently flattering to enlist not only - .. w .. .. . . .! the money ot the capitalists, mit ine enterprise of the manufacturers of Pittsburgh, and I will add all Western Pcnnsylvsuin. ' There is no difficulty in this route. It has a natural grade to Fairmount along tho Monongahela rivr, passing the nourishing towns of Monongahela City, Brownsville, Mor gnntown, &c. j thence a nntural grade of tho Tigarts Valley rivcrto the M ingo Flats in Randolph county,' passing Pruntytown, Phillippi, Beverly, nnd Huttonsvillej thence, over a table land of five miles to Garwood's Big Spring then a water grade of fifteen or twenty miles , then crossing another table land from three to five miles to Stony ereek,'n tributary of Greenbrier, passing on tho route Huntersville, Millpoint, Frankfort, White Sulphur Spring, nnd Lewisburg. to Pulestine; leaving the Greenbrier river, cutting across,' a corner Of Monroe county, tapping the New river at or near Pack's Ferry; passing on tho route Union, Rocky Point, Urey ouipnur Spring, and Ccntcrville ; tbenco up New river, passing the Salt-works and Plaster Banks, to Newborn. So far as tunnelling, cutting and nil;.,,. a nniinariiml it. u-mild lie an casv lllllllg IJ VUHM.l". J undertaking, when compared with the leveling of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad or therennsyivanm enirai, simply because there areeomparatively no mountains or taiJie-iainis io cross. All that is necessary for mo to say about the richness and fertility of the country through which the proposed road would pass is that the entire r"outo from Ueverly, in Knndoipn county, io Newborn, in Pulaski county, is tho best of limestone land, save hero and there it narrow belt of freestone. Even the mountains oh the East and West of the proposed track have the limestone .1 .!-- u i.i - i..,:..,. io near ineirmiinimi, uiuo gi. utuy the natural grass ol the country It would bo unnecessary for nio to stop here to recount the vast amount til lllllieruiil UOtl UIIUVHHIIHH i.iw.iiiv.- tions of Monongalia, Marion, laylor nnd Barbour counties, that would natu rally flow to tho city of Pittsburgh. Passniff on to Randolph county, the road would naturally follow the base of tho Cheat Mountain, said mountain lioincr from three to four miles to its suniniit,thetopof which iscomparative ly level, nnd from ten to httecn nines broad. This is densely covered with yew pine, which seldom fails to attract and remind the traveler of the cedars of Lcljanon, far excelling any forest I ever saw for lumber and shingles, equalling if not surpassing even the best vol low pine. The length of this forest I am unable to determine, but I think I would lie safe in saying fifty miles, through which tho Cheat river flows its dark and colored waters, susceptible of driving any amount of machinery.. Tho forest is at once accessible, having the graded pike from Porkersburg to Stanton passing through it. ' ', . : . Passing thence lip the Tigart's Val ley river, twenty miles brings us to the Mingo Flats. We then come to another forest, (through which the road would pnss for thirty miles,) covered with black walnut, wild cherry, yellow poplar, white ash and yellow linn, "rowing .in n ricn nmcsme . Then comes in the beautiful Greenbri er levels sixty miles in length, over which tho cattle roam and graze (and I will hero sav. they are uns'.irpafsed by Bourbon county Kentucky.) l ine horses and mules were also raised there abundance, but during the war thev were either killed or appropria ted.- As a grain growing country it is unsurpassed by any portion ol tnc South. But it is unnecessary to raise more than will meet home consump linn for the want of internal improve ment. They are compelled to raise something capable ot transporting its self to market on its own legs. In tli!a vicinitv is located the runowncd White Sulphur Springs, the Blue Sul nhnr. tho Gray Sulphur, the Orcen Sulpnurj the Sweet and. the Old Sweet Sitlnhur. the healing, the hot, the r. , . pi warm end tno aium springs, xnese springs possess a meuicai power or virtue lor ncanng tue various uiscuaes innident to tho human family that would astonish all who are not ac ouainted with their utility. The pro . .. i . i . prietors ot Uie auove nanieu springs have accommodated from six to eight thousand persons, and are prepared to -. accommodate several thousand more at the same time. In 1856 the White Sulphur was seld to Allen T. Caper ton and others for, one million dollars. And in this vicinity also there are veins i of inexhaustible iron ore,: not counted Jby the inch ascounted here but by tho fool; viz s from fifteen to twen tv.fi va feet all nure in .lumps from one to. one hundred, pounds and np- arardiL' .-.,:'...; ... , , We .then pass. oa.,tliroogh Monroe county, which possesses all the ad van possessing slso her portion.of minerals ami mineral springs, blooded cattle-, horses and mules. Thence coming t6 the New river the slopes and table land on either side sro covered with dense forests, inviting the circular saw and the iron horse to cut it into shape for market, and , its transportation thither. Then oomes the salt-works producing a salt unsurpassed in firm ness and strength bv' even the Livcr- pool works.. Next comes the plaster banks, of which I need Jiot speak, for every judicious and thriving farmer knows Ol its Downs ami virtuo as a Gf.i.'An't. . Taking Lewisburg as the standpoint, (being the county seat or Greenbrier county) lor one hundred miles east, west, north, or south, there are hut three furnaces, and they were, used up by the war; one foundry, a small concern ; three woolen factories combined having but nine loom i no forgo, no rolling mill, no unit mill, no glass factory, no paper mill, no plain ing mill, one potter, no broom factory and hut limited tnnyards. Now all that I have said would lie but a mere shadow compared with the noontide blazo that would open up from the seven Southern States that would be accessible, if Pittsburg would reach out another iron arm nnd grasp tho Virginia and Tennessee Railroad ut or near Newlicrne.
