We have repeatedly called the attention ol our people to their great need of railroad com munication with the Eastern cities and to sup ply this need, have earnestly urged them to make liberal subset i|>!ions to the Bedford Rail road. IVc have appealed to you, friends, but your interests demand of you, to do what you can toward bringing this enterprise to a success ful termination. The "hard times," of which we daily hear you complain, remind you ol your great necessity for a railroad and ol your duly to go to work and make it. You hear that money is abundant in the cities, and yet you lament the want of it here. Why is this? Simply because you have no market—no cheap mode ol transposing your grain to the cities— and, consequently, no opportunity of exchang ing the products of your labor for their value in cash. Is this not true? Have you not, if you are a farmer, hundreds of bushels of wheat and corn stowed away in your granaries, which, in Philadelphia, would bring you a fair price in good current money? And have you not stored away this grain merely because you cannot sell it except on time? The effects ol financial panics are always fell doubly as long in a country where there are no railroads as where there is communication, by those thoroughfares, with large cities. The reason of this is obvious. The great majority of the banks oi issue are located in the cities. — 1 Ihe wheels of Trade and Commerce are set in 1 motion there, 'i he first impulse of renewed life in business, after the occurrence of a mon etary crisis, is given oy tw ;ii. Thus, in j order that remote regions may share this revi-j ting impulse, their business operations mast ! come directly under its influence, and tins is j impossible without railroads. Let us, therefore, make the Bedford Railroad, and when the. next panic comes, we need not fear that it will hang upon us for months and months, like the incubus that seems at present j to bear us down. MORE "I MON AND HARMOWr j The Erie Constitution, a "pure and simple" Abolition join nal, is not at all pleased with the; "Union" arrangement about to be effected by : its party. It is quite willing to receive the help ofSwoope and Flanigan, but thinks that "in view of tin* past, they ought to have thf*pru dcnce to keep their names from any published rails." This is snubbing the noses of the "Straight Americans" with a coolness that must be exceedingly refreshing to tlio.se gentlemen, this hot weather. But the Constitution does not stop at this. It goes on to add insult to in jury. It speaks of the "Straights" with rudest contumely and denounces ihem in bitter and vehement language, ft says: "The Republicans can set it down as an es tablished fact that the Sanderson-Flanigan- Swoope faction will never keep faith in any po litical arrangement. They are partizan gncr~ j villas unfit for association with men vdto are j governed by honest motives in political action, i They have cheated us in three campaigns, and i it remains to be seen whether Republicans will j allow themselves again to be gulled hy such i tricksters. We are willing to unite with all honest opponents of the extension of slavery, j and co-operate to overthrow the present Na tional Administration, but we are not willing j to join hands or associate with venal leaders ! who make a show of friendship only to betray, j The leading politicians may make what arrange- | inent they please in this matter, but if they in I anyway ignore the cardinal principles of Re-; publican ism, or if thev expunge Rom our flag j the motto of "No more Slave Slates," they will j deserve and receive defeat. We march to the 1 battle under no mongrel flag. They w ill find j thousands of staunch and true freemen in the j North and West who will repudiate anv eva sive, unmeaning platform, no matt r wt.o the \ candidates aie.

The ticket is composed as follows Assembly, JACOR BLRLEV. S/icrijf , JAMES FCNK. Proi/tonotary, JOSEPH BALDKIDGE. Commissioner, Exos M. JONES. Treasurer, JOHN LINGAFELTER. Poor Direr/or, JOHN B.

MORROW for Prothonotary, C. IRVIN lor 1 reasi'rer, and JOSEPH FEAY lor Commis sioner. They denounce the "Americans" most bitterly for their independent conduct and call them a "disorganized and unsettled remnant ol a party." We presume the Bedford Abolition organ had especial reference to Blair county when it announced v\ ith such a great flourish of trumpets tiiat the different elements of the op position were uniting. (TjfThe A !lit ion organ copies several long articles fiom the Daily . Yews , in which there is a most ridiculous effort made to explain a wny the treachery of the latter journal to the "Straight Americans," in abandoning its for mer national position and striking hands with the Abolitionists. The reason of the .WITS' de sertion from the "Straight Americans" is this: JOHN P. SANDERSON who was editor ol thai sheet during the last few years and who kept it entirely fr.-e Irom the taoit of Abolitionism, during his editorship, has retired from the con cern, and it is now in the hands of reckless and unscrupulous men, who are Black Republicans of as dark a shade as David Wilmot himself.— This accounts for the "Union" milk in the News' cocoamit.

Poe, the severest critic of his time, spoke favorably of her style of writing a ,,.i .i . mi.ij auihorities nave pronounced her glories and novels to be of the better class. In the work at present under consideration, she displays rare powers of de scription, in a style dignified, yet easy, and occasionally gives us glimpses of a rich vein of poetrv that seems to run through all bet* na ture.—"Mary Dvrwent" is a book worth rea ding. HAW I IN SYRIA, OR, THREE YEARS IN JERUSALEM. By Mrs. Sarah Barclay Johnson. PhiifwjHlnhta dames FhaMeir and Sins. Of this work the Washington t nion speaks as follows : We do not remember to have seen the names of the publisheis of this book appended to any other works and we imagine they are new beginners in the exceedingly difficult and hazardous business of book-publish ing ; but if they publish no worse book than this ol Mrs. Johnson's, we wiil guaranty their suc cess. It is the most unpretending and simple book of travels we have read for a long time. In a pleasant conversational tone the gifted authoress gives us many glimpses of Syrian life which more stately and pompous writers have overlooked. The Military Law, I lie West ( hesler Jeffersonian corrects a great misapprehension ol the new Militia Law, as follows : "We observe an article going the rounds ol the papers, calculated to mislead the i public in reference (o the operation of the late military law. The Constitution provides for a militia enrolment and a militia fax. The previous law fixed the tax against every man at f0 cents. The present act does not change it. The fund created bv this tax is appropria ted to meet the expenses of the military depart ment and must be kept within that limit. One Brigade cannot diaw upon (he funds of another, or upon the Treasury ol the State, for any de ficiency. For instance, suppose Chester county contained a taxable population of one thousand, and the whole number were members ol volun teer companies, then there would he no tax collectable and no fund to draw ujon ; they would have to do without any pay. But if this thousand paid their tax, in pieference to joining a military organization, tlnm there would be a fund of sf>oo for such volunteers as might ex ist, to draw upon. The law fixes the rate of pay at s!,fo per day, hut it does not provide means beyond the Brigade, and does n it pledge the funds of the Commonwealth. The law fixes the rate of pay for not exceeding I'm- days and encampment. ]! is not probable that the a mounr raised in CI ester county would more than bear the expenses of the present military organization, for an encampment ol three or four days. But this act is a manifestation of en couragement creditable to the Commonwealth." Mo\nv. Notwithstanding the large pay ments for l-nited States Treasury notes, the specie ieserves of the banks keep up, the depos it iines increase in a faster ratio than the loans and discounts, and everything points to con tinued rase in (he money market for several months to come. Good paper is in demand in the commercial centres of the Eastern and Mid dle States at Ito ti per cent.— Peterson''9 Counterfeit Detector. The Search Question spilled. On the 10tl of April la<t, Gen. Cass 1 spil a Ipfler to Lord Napier, on the subject ol the claim ol the Biitidi government to search or visit Ame? ican vessels upon the LJgh seas, saying ; "The President of the United States, in his annua! message to Congress, in December, 1841, denounced this pretension to detain and exam ine American vessels as an interpolation into the maritime code of the world to which the I niter! States would not submit. The years which have passed since tins authorilive decla ration. marked as they have been by repeated remonstrances against these aggressions, while they have added nothing to the strength of ihc claim, have sei ved hut to confirm the govern ment in their determination to opOse it. No change of name can change the illegal cliarac terof the assumption. Search or visit, it is equally an assault upon the independence ot nations." We regard it as fortunate that British cruis ers in the West India waters had exercised over American trading vessels I fie rigid of visitation: because, in so doing, the important question o( the law involved in the matter was the more likely to become of practical importance, and thus demand on the part of the two govern ments its definite settlement. Gen. Cass, in' explicit terms and with distinct reference to the dispatch ol Lord Aberdeen, in 184-2, disavowed the right of her Majesty's cruisers to visit Amer ican merchant ships, declaring sue!) an act to be "an assault upon the independence of the na tion." It is not our purpose to run through the nego tiations which have taken place between Gen. Cass and Lord Napier in tliis city since the 10th of April. It Is enough fo say, as we understand the present aspect ol the question, lhat Lord Malmesbury now declares that 11. M. govern ment recognize the principle of international law as laid down bv Gen. Cass in his no'e of the 10th April, and" that nothing in the treaty of 1.8-12, (the Ashburton treaty,) supercedes that law. Thus, by Hie acts of British cruisers, this question ol search has become one of a practi cal character. As such it was met by the Pres ident by thp prompt denial of the right of visi tation, and denouncing its exercise as a viola tion ot the sovereign jurisdiction of the United States ove' t heir own merchant ships, and by the dispatch to the West India of a competent naval force instructed to repel every effort to visit or search such ships. Jl is, then, with no ordinary gratification that we announce the final settlement of this long j standing and troublesome dispute nv the prompt and manly disavowal of any such right by Lord Malmesbury, and bis distinct recognition ot the j principle of international law so explicitly laid down by General Cass to Lord Napier. We need not say that this auspicious conclu sion of a subject wliich, perhaps more than any [ other within the range of our foreign relations, has excited and agitated the public mind of A merica, is in tbe highest degree gratifying to our national pride, as we believe it to be honor able to both nations. It had become evident to the least thoughtful observer ol the two coun tries that what the United Slates claimed—im munity to her flag upon the public waters— could not be resisted without endangering the peace of the world: and, as this question was presented on the basis of a vmlaii im -- ■■ - ; r,: " reat ' ?r a, M had either to justify the course of its crui**,., the other hand, at once and forever accede to the principles of internatignal law, laid down by the American government. Lord Malmesbury in the most prompt and honorable manner a dopted the latter course. We congratulate the country at this most auspicious conclusion. It is thus seen how the high interests of the nation are prompted by intrusting to the hands o.' such statesmen as James Buchanan, and Gen. Cass the discharge of executive duties.— Washingiut ' nion AN EXAMF-LI? TO BE FOLLOWED. —On Satur day last, at Washington, D. ('. says the Herald, the convict and murderer Powers was duly ex ecuted according to the sentence of the law.— Every exertion had been made to induce tbe President to commute bis sentence. The mo ther of the culprit had literally besieged the J President, thrown herself at his knees, and with all a mother's energy beeged the life of her son. ! Persons of humane character, though weak in stincts, had repeatedly solicited the like favor, and had brought considerable influence to bear. Mr. Buchanan withstood all appeals, replying to one intercessor who drew his attention to the youth of the prisoner, '-Sir, nearly all the mur ders and crimes of violence so frequent of late years have been committed by such young men:" and the murderer was duly hanged. Here is an example which State Governors should read, mark, learn and ii.Wirdly digest.— Here is a lesson by which they should profit.— No one can doubt but it was a very painful du ty for Mr. Buchanan to refuse to grant the prayer of a broken-hearted mother: but he had a duty to perform to his fellow citizens and he performed it manfully. He proved that he was worthy of the station he holds, and that he had the nerve to do his duty, at whatever cost to his feelings. THE LAND BRIBE. — The Opposition journals are clamoring against the Report of the Kansas Conference Committee, on the ground that it contains an enormous grant of land to the peo ple of Kansas as a bribe, in order to accept the bill. We have already shown that the amount of land is about the same as was contained in the other hills supported by the Black Republi cans. Now hear what is said by the Leaven worth Journtff, a violent anti-Lecompton paper, in its efforts to defeat the English bill before the people of Kansas : —" Keep it before tbe people, that there is nothing offered us in the English hill but what is guaranteed to us bv the Organic Act, under which we were admitted as a Territory, and what other new States have received at the hands of Congrt*s." heavy rains in the West have caused an unprecedented rise in many of the rivers. Recently, in Indiana, the Wabash riv er rose with frightful rapidity, and the inhabi tants on the river bottoms were obliged to escape in boats and by swimming on horses. The Wea and Wild Cat creeks, two small streams, rose in a few hours to raging floods. The Toledo, Wabash, ami Western railroad, a cross the Wea creek, was entirely swept away, doing damage to the amount of $20,000. At Cincinnati, the Ohio river mse at the rate of two inches an hour, and all its tributaries rose rapidly. There were thirty-eight feet of water in the channel of the Ohio." and a great flood was expected. The trarl, of the Ohio and Mississippi railroad was u a. foci awav six mile., horn Cincinnati. DOLGHS MF.fl REAPPOINTED. The President has reappointed Brooks, ot the Quincy (111.,) Herald, a leading Douglas paper. Postmaster at that place, also, Mr. Hunt, ot Jacksonville, Illinois: and Sweat, ol Peoria, Il linois, Postmasters at those places. The Herald says : "Those men are all Straight-ticket Demo crats, and all in favor of the re-election ot Judge Douglas to the Senate: which is the fact. We shall regard our own re-appointment as an ap proval, on the part ot the President, of our gen eral course a? a Democrat ami an editor, as well as of our official conduct. We shall regard it as evidence that he does not prefer the election of a Black Republican or a Know-Nothing to ihe I ni'.ed States Senate over Judge Douglas." We trust the foregoing facts, from the indica tion ol the spirit it manifests as existing at Washington, will satisfy certain good uneasy people, who have manifested great alarm, lest a proscrip'ive crusade was to be made against a branch of the Democracy. We can see no ob jection in the requiring that its appointees, if not ardent friends, shall certain ly not be '.he open enemies to its policy. The Democratic party are certainly responsible for the passage of the Confert nee cr English Bill, let it be good or bad, and it is not asking too eftiuch ol any Democrat, that he shall accept that act, as the deed of the majority of the par ty representatives, em|>owered to act in the matter, and thrrefore binding upon every mem ber, professing to remain within its fold. Dem ocrats, whether known as friends or opponents of Lecomptori v niust all now yield adhetKfen to the English Bill, as a measure of adjustment of this question. Those who do not, certainly stand upon this question of Democratic policy, upon nobettei grouniljtlian our'opponents. In side of this limit, of course all are Democrats, and should be endorsed and adopted, whatever their earlier views may have been. In our own State, all who unite upon our State ticket we greet as Democrats—those opposing that ticket we cannot honestly recognize.— Pi! I thing I n ion. TRADE. —Business continues very moderate, though lhareare exceptional casesfof activity in every branch. Very many houses are, and have been, doing, about their usual amount of business, and in this tact afford the best proof that their affairs are in good condition and that they themselves are masteis of their business. In tact, it will, we think, be found to be almost universally true, that in all branches of trade, those whose ability, tact and strength are in ordinary times employed to drive their business, and wiio do not let their business drive them, have experienced but slight falling off' in the amount of their t.ansacticn--, notwithstanding the severity of the panic. With other bouses, it is becoming to be the order of the day, as it always is with those above alluded to, to have small debt? or none at all. There has been a very general cutting down of expenses, also, which will continue to exert a salutary influence after the full tide of activity shall have again set in.— Peterson's Counterfeit Detector. PROGRESS OF THE COALITION MOVEMENT.— .Meetings have been held in Philadelphia bv the high contracting parties ot Know-Nothings, Abolitionists, and a few disaffected Democrats, tor the purpose of electing delegates to a State convention, whose duty it will be to fully or ganize the discordant elements- name candi date"! ./wf/' rite piAiTOrm lor mr mongrel paity. Whether the Press unites with this mixture , and goes in for the Par -1 y," we have not learned, but the Democratic papers of Philadelphia understand the move ment, and treat the imposture as it deserves to be treated. The coalition will not affect the Democratic party proper any more than did the sham .1 men'can party, which has died out through the country as rapidly as it rose. There is neither patriotism or principle in this miscalled people's party. IT is in truth the demagogue-otlice-hunting party, and as such, honest people will turn from it with scorn.— \\ e shall wait for the assembling of the Conven tion, and hope some of our Democratic cotem poraries will tell us how many Democrats can be found in its composition. Pall. Republi can. AN EDITOR MURDERED. Mr. Slofer, editor of the Expositor, at Lexington, Mo., was mur dered in the most infamous manner a few davs since, on board the steamer '-A. B. Chandlers," by a man regarded a-- a professional blackleg, named Clark. The St. Louis Republican savs ot the affair : ft seems that Mr. Siofef and Clark had been playing cards on board oftli* boat, and Stofer had won a portion of Clark's money, after which he (Stofer) declined playing more. Clark was anxious to get his money back, and told Stofer so, using threatening language toward his adversary at the table. To avoid a quarrel, Stofer left the table and went out upon the guard of the boat, near the barber shop. Clark followed, and asked Stofer again it he was going to continue the game, telling him that if he did not he would kill him, then and there. Stofi-r replied that he would play no more ; whereupon Clark presented a pistol to his ad versary's head, and fired. The shot took effect in Stofer's temple, and he died almost instantly. Clark was caught ami secured with ropes on board the boat, to be delivered over to the authorities at Lexington. THE GOLD HUMBUG IN IOWA.— The Dubuque Herald speaks of the gold excitement in lowa as not promising any golden results. It says : A number of mischievously inclined persons have on various occasions procuied quantities of brass filings and strewed them in the places where they expected gold hunters to find them among the sand. Among the specimens of gold on exhibition at the office of the Emigrant asso ciation is a sample said to be Iroin Eagle Point, which has been labelled thusj "Brass filings from some place and black sand from some other place, Presented by Mr. ." .No sell that time. A number of supposed specimens of gold have been discovered to be nothing more than straw colored mica, whose shining appearance is cal culated to deceive a person of limited observa tion cn such subjects. STRUCK BY LIGHTNING. —On the 20th inst., as Mr. John Cuinp and family, consisting ol himself, wife and infanl, and a "daughter about seventeen or eighteen years old, were on their home to Ciiambersburg, Pa., from a Dnnker meeting, the daughter was instantly killed by lightning. The family was in a one horse wa gon, the young lady occupying a hind seat, and it is said her clothes were literally torn into shreds. Strange as it may seem, the other occu pants of the wagon escaped without sustaining any severe injury, although severely stunned". I he hurse attached to the wagon was prostrated by the shock, but afterwards recovered. From the St. Louis Democrat. Biiriiiim of die Mframrr 3Vim *)l* nia.

A double stateroom > was divided try a partition of the boat; tfiose in | the forward beilhs were killed, those in tin rearward were not in the least injured. Capt. i Klinefelter at the moment was in the barberj shop, undergoing the process of being shaved, j and he was not harmed in the least particular. A passenger stated to Mr. King that the boat; was so crowded that he bad to sleep up in i "taxes," in a room with four berths, with the j watchman. He being in the rear berth, v\.:- saved, but as fie lay in his berth paralvz d with terror he saw his room mates in the two! beitbs opposite go down into tiie river under the I confused mass of wreck.

About U2f> or 1 10 got on (he flat boat and pushed awav from j the vi reck, leaving f)0 thereon. It was the in tension to lot the tlat-ix>at float ahead to a tow head not far off, and after discharging her | freight, shove her out and allow her to again float towards the wreck. But before this could ie* accomplished, some barrels of turpentine in the hold ot the wreck igniied, and in a few mo ments the u hole mass was a sheet of flame.— 1 f.vorv jinn i.f ih. finv l.ii mi.in it was in a short time reduced lo asfos.

I'tie mate and first clerk, with a flat boat pilot from Louisville, swam to a temporary flat j erected lor tiie purpose of a/fording assistance ; to caitle 4hat might he washed away by the! flood. The latter has reached the Diana", and I states that he left the first clerk upon tin flat, i since which time no news has come to hand of : him. i Al the point ol disaster, the river is at least two miles wide. The whole country is sub merged. There was no hope lor the best ol swimmers. The river swept with tremendous torce through the chute and bottoms, and in a very short time all tiial could be seen of the ruin was a smouldering mass resembling burning brush half smothered by water.

Prompt to obey the call nt humanity, he spared no time, no exer tion in rendering all the assistance in his power and put his boat back fifteen or twenty miles in order to rescue any of the survivors. THE TAP. IFF.—Some ol the Opposition papers are trying very hard to again make political capital out of the tariff question, but lake good care not lo tell their readers that we are indebt-. Ed to the late Ivnovv-Aothing anil Black Repub lican Congress for the present low duties, of which they complain. Why did thov not let the Democratic tariff ol ISJ6 alone? It affor ded ample and adequate protection and our trade, manufactures and commerce flourished under it for ten years. The Opposition are chargeable for tfiat which they try to saddle on the Democracy—they made the "present tariff, and if there is anything wrong about it, let the people understand to whom doing the injury belongs. As long as the Democratic tariff of IS-K> was in existence, all was well, let the people take warning from the past, and beware oi the promises the mongrels may make on this subject now.— Easfon Sentinel.
