Py order of the Dem. Co. Com. JOHN P. REED, Chairman. Connellsviile and Southern P, R, S. As already noted in these columns, the Leg islaturc, at its late session, passed a bill repeal ing the charter of the "Pittsburg and ConnelJ? villo Railroad Company," so far as that chartc gave said company the exclusive right to con struct a railroad over the unfinished portion o the route upon which the projected Pittsburg and Connellsviile Railroad was located. An other bill was passed which incorporates a new company, with power to finish the readjust, na mod and to extend it from its originally propo sed eastern terminus, through our own county, to a connection with the Cumberland Valley Railroad, .at Chatnbersburg, or some other road communicating directly with (lie eastern cities This new company is styled the "Connellsviile and Southern Pennsylvania Railroad Compa ny." ihe reasons which moved the Legislature to this partial repeal at the charter of the Pitts to the consequent incorporation of the new com pany*, were these : i lie first named company, though chartered twenty seven yearsayo, had ut terly failed to make such progress in the con struction of its road, as would give reasonable hope of its completion : tii Baltim >ro and Ohio Railroad Company hid obtaine! control of the company, and it was believed would not push the road to completion so long as no oth . r company threatened to act ,v - ysiou of ti. e route and (Inert the road from a connection with its own at Cumberland; the Pitt-burg an 1 v.onuelisri!!e Railroad C ompany, looking'oniy for an eastern connection, at lfcilthuere, could not expect to raise the capital necessary to built their road, anywh- y ■ . ■ than in that city,— but the Mayor of Raltin -re did not fa- >r their route an-.l that city refused to subscribe tine ieq ui- ite fuuus; final iy the psopl-* residing along the unfinished part of the projected Pittsburg ; d C ttnellsvillo Railroad, had, from tim ■ to time, memorialized the Legislature in r .ord to the serious detriment to their interests occasion ed by the tardiness of tin. ~i l company, and the-i popular demonstrations were invariably ra?t by the promi-*" that the road should be -ntt under contract an I fii i !. J, which promise v.-,. "kept but to the i -i an i broken to the iu/Te." Urged by tnesc reus, as, the Leg'-iature sjUw fit to pass tlic bills above referred to, and. we think in so do. rg, acted for th— I-est interests of the U ; ■ . .. ur own county and the neighboring counties along the Maryland border. The char ter of the new company requires the road to be put under contract within ninety days after the passage of the act of incorporation, and that the road shall be completed within three years from the same date. Sonic of the lead ing capitalists of New* \ork and Philadelphia arc among the corporators named in the char ter and wo are assured that they are deeply in terested in the building of the road. A? to the route over which the road is to be constructed, wo understand it to be the same as that surveyed for the Pittsburg and Connells viile, via, Castkman's river, Sandpatch Tunnel and New Bridgport, with the extension along Will's creek, Buffalo run arid the Rays town branch, to the eastward. This would give Red ford county railroad facilities scarcely surpass ed by any other county in the state, and to this end let our energies be exerted, caring not who makes the road, only so it be made. Tut; WHEAT CHOl*. —The wheat crop in this county docs not present .so favorable an appear ance as usual at this time of the year. The fields are not so evenly covered as they general ly are. The long and severe winter caused the roots of the sprouting wheat to "freeze up," on which account some of the fields look a little "spotted."' BtiH, a favorable season from the present timo till harvest, will, we think, make us an average r>p Democratic County Convention. I ** By the call of the Chairman of the Demo erotic County Committee, published in this is sue, it will be seen that, on Saturday, 18th inst the Democrats of the several election district ■ of this county, are to select delegates to tin Democratic County Convention, to be hell a this place, on Tuesday, 21st inst. We call par ticular attention to this matter, inasmuch as i ii- • med important that every district in tlx county should be represented in the Convention it i- stri more important that the very best met and the firmest and most reliable Democrat: should be selected as delegates. The true an. active men cf the party, arc those who shouk be honored with the trust of representation. Ii , these times that try the very soul of men's De mocrncj, only the faithful and vigilant sentine _ shou .1 be placed on guard. We hope, too, j at the election of delegates, every Democrat wil express i s preferences for candidates on th< • county ticket, with the clear understanding thai | the nut; >rity shall rule and that if lie happen ti i he with the minority, he is in honor bound tc sustain the decision of the majority. We musi have unity of purpose and harmony of actior in our own ranks, if we would regain political ascendancy- The present is no time for bicker . ing and strife among ourselves. Every manol > sense knows and teels that it our country is evci to be delivered from its present trials and afflic tion, it must be done, under God, through tht instrumentality of the Democratic party. There fore. let us be true to our high calling; lot u.- oury all minor differences and personal consid erations; and let us look only to the success of Democracy, for in that consists the only hope of salvation for liberty and for our country. Miserable Mail AsusoEMiom.—The peo people of Londonderry township complain, with much reason, that they have no postal facilities, They have no accessible post-office nearer than Cumberland, Mi., or Buffalo Mills. These arc at least 15 miles from the centre of Londonder ry. During the administration of Mr. Buchan an, a mail route connecting Mann's Choice, in this county, and Ivreighbaum's, in Allegheny co., Md., was established and post offices erect ed at New Bridgport and Palo Alto. Put this route has been discontinued for several rear? and the people in fhe section of country through winch it passed, are now compelled to be their own mail-carriers. 'I lie I'. O.

SIGNS. —The Democrats of Wil lianisport, at a recent election for borough offi cers, carried their whole ticket. Wilkesbnrre, also, recently elected the Democratic ticket by upwards of 100 majority. These towns have nearly always, heretofore, been anti-Democrat ic. The signs are cheering. feg-Messrs. George and Michael Iteimund have opened out a merchant tailoring establishment in Mrs. Saupp's building, on East Pitt Street. They are good workmen and deserving men, and will, doubtless, receive their share of the pub lic patronage. tfvlf you want hoots and shoes good and as cheap as they can he sold, call at the store of J.

W. DAWSON, OF INI> , ON BKDK< —We copy the following racy letter from son's Fort Wayne Times," of May 33. 1 from the pen of the editor of that paper, ii John \V. Dawson, whose visit to our towit noticed some weeks ago: BEDFORD, IV, May 2, 186] * * • '<■ * • i The site of this town is a beautiful onc-i I the valley of the Juniata, on the turnpike— f j rounded by beautiful mountains—which ii to stand vigiiant sentinels over the borougbj The \ alley is a rich and pretty extensive ott and this place being near the source of t branch of the Juniata—gives it an altitude fti which it derives such salubrity of climate, t is only 30 utiles north of Cumberland, Mdh on the Potomac, and about 40 south of Alj na on the Pennsylvania Central Ihiilway. t old fort was once built here long before the tr ot the Revolution which was called Fort 1 - ford but the village was subsequently ciil Raystown and then Bedford, when in 1771t was laid out as n borough. It lias some his'- ieal reminiscences, among others—being e place at which Gen. \\ ashington while Pr dent—discontinued his march from Philat pliia, in 1794, toward Pittsburgh and Westint land county to suppress the "Whiskey Jn*- | rectiori"—but from this point he returned, t- I ing to the receipt of information that the t ! surrection had ceased in that region. T'ie distinguishing characteristic of this pie J is BEDFORD SPRINGS, long since ascertained |be highly mineral; and accordingly impra | raents for the reception of guests seeking lieuh i and pleasure at this watering place, were mat. j These Springs are about one and a half miloo the south ol Bedford, in the valley of a snii creek, almost shut out from sunlight by beati fnlly shaded mountains; by reason of which le thermometer, in summer, indicates a tempJi ture two degrees lower than at Bedford. Tc j main Spring, which gives its abundant offornr. j and the water of which is properly called "Iri ! f° r d ater," is by far the most medicinal— id i justly deserves the name of Mineral Water. It | lias somewhat the taste of water with a lite I.psom salts dissolved—though by no ineanstil fensive to taste. Its effects are diuretic ando.i thnrtic—and long experience has enabled pod physicians to commend its u-o to invalids. ■ The iron spring (Chalybeate) is called am ic:—but it and the Sulphur Spring give witer so slightly impregnated as to be, in my opin.on, of very little efficacy. Ihe buildings at the Springs arc cxtemive and commodious; quite large enough to ener- I tain 5)0 guests during the ii Sj>rir>g Sft-on"— beginning about the mid He of June and lasting till Oct. Ist; and are kept in an excellent sfvle. J he patronage is large—and Bedford reaps each year a rich harvest, from the money spent here by visitors, many of whom quarter in tlietior- I ough and enjoy the society, and partake of the ; water, at the Sprinqs. f cratlc—arid a Tioolthy sentiment i- at all times kept up. Their voice is for ptacc —and should a war platform be adopted at Chicago—or ;an ultra war candidate lie nominated, — , the democratic yeomanry here, as in all the j State. v!l have very little heart to go i.:!o the j canvass. Newspapers here are an institution each—for example the lid ford Cft, was cs ; tabKehed m 1805, by Mr. ,\I; Dowel!, whocon ; tinned its sole editor and proprietor about •'>') years; t lion another gentleman owned and edit ed it till seven years ago—when it came to the Lands ot . Ir. Meyers—its present editor and j proprietor. During all that time it remained the organ of the democratic party of the coun ty. I know of no case parallel with this—in tho W est—except the 1 "inceuncs Sun. 1 no Legislature is about to enable capitalists to make, a railroad from Chambers':iorg via T.r d fcrd to Connellsville so as to make an all rail route direct from New York via of Allonfown and Hani-burgh to Pittsburgh. This will be resisted by the Pennsylvania Central 00 the .NOsth, and by the Baltimore nnd ' hio road o:i the South—but perhaps it will be unavailing— and the road built. A road is already built t:otn liarasburgh west to Chambersburg; and one from Pittsburgh Last to ConstßkvUlc. In view of this great project, much real estate has been ught up along the propos I line, with a \iew to developing yet hidden stores of wealth in coal and iron. ' it will be a better New York : route from Pittsburgh. I h i.- r- court day in I led ford—and bv m\ ita- ; lion of good, friends—l c { „ n t part of the day I with I hem in cotiri. The courts • f Over and | Terminer, Quarter Sessions, und tho Orphans' Court, are held by the same Judges and at the same term each having specific ! jurisdictions. The business is unlike that of the West—and its manner of being done as unlike it; and yet I am not prepared to say but that, in many things the preferable mode is with the Pennsylvanians. inc tuuif house was full of suitors and at tendants, and in looking over the concourse, the difference between the visages of these pconle and those of a western assembly was marked! Lcie they ah loost as if they were to the man or born—a wonderful identity pervades the whole—as if they were from one ato.-k, and of! one occupation; but mingling with them one finds a better type of man, than is to be found among the sharpers of the west. If western peopre have more brains_ those people have more heart and muscle; and I think that the Misce genetics or araalgamationists who are now ad vocating the mixing of white and black blood, to bring out a perfect type of man—would only absorb the nerves and fibre of the Pennsylva nians—and the Germans and Irish and Scotch —— that a race would spring forth which would j give far more warmth and fulness to their na- ■ tures, than that repulsive intermixture of white ■ and black, which they advocate. Ilere the same scarcity of provisions is felt, as in almost all places in the West, and prices I as high. A few days more here, ami I return to Ohio, bearing with me a grateful remembrance of the hospitalities and kind offices of many acquaint ances I have made among the citizens of Bed ford. io tins old borough, with its excellent climate, and healing waters, and good people, I commend pleasure-seekers and invalids—in hot ' weather.

This organization, with many elements of, personal cleverness, bodes evil to the best in- ' teresis of true freedom and humanity. It is ! founded in sectional disturbances, its aliment is prejudice and passion, its efforts calculated to j array State against State, section against sec tion, man against man, brother against brother, —to destroy all kindly relations and light up > the tires of sectional discord and strife, to end j in battles of blood. J hough its managers threw overboard its great founder and leader, Gov ernor Seward, because he had so plainly declar ed its principles, hoping thereby to conceal its dangerous tendencies, —its true theories are belched by the Suinner? and the Chcevers, and I are reduced to practice by its John Browns. j [Great cheers."] It disturbs and embitters the i social relations—it severs ihc holy ties of re ligotis brotherhood—it breaks the bond of a I common political faith—it blots out the orcat j memories of the Revolution—it destroys com- j lUrcial interests and tho interchanges of free 1 trade—it degrades us as a nation before the en- j vious monarclis of the earth, and deprives us of the inherent power to vindicate our rights. It i sows broadcast the terrible seeds of domestic - strife and passion, that the people may reap in uuc season a harvest of ashes and desolation. gwlfe prospect for fruit is very promigin c . < I * I THE NBV REVENUE LAW. —Our State Leg ; isluture, previous to its adjournment, pa- e1 a i very important bill revising lite tax laws of pur f i State. The bill has been signed by the Gov- j t ; ernor, and is now a law. .he folic wing are .* i ih* leading features of the law: j i It provides that all railroad, canal ai:J offnr ' ! transportation companies in tho {State shall pay j ; two cents per ton on the products of mine car- ' 1 ! vied upon them, three cents upon the products I of the forest or the farm, arid five cents on ium - ' ! chandise and other articles. Every private banker, and broker, and bank , and saving institution and deposit an I trust j company, gas, bridge insurance company, and ! I building, manufacturing, mechanical, mining j ' and other company, doing im-im •- within the Commonwealth, shall pay annually a tax of • three per cent, of its net earnings. The corporations liable to duty under the law , arc required, under a heavy penalty, to make, through th-ii: Fresldent or Tr. -a.-urquarterly returns under oath to the Auditor General of i the amount of business done. Daymen is are to < be made to the State Treasurer. The present abatement on State tax of five . per cent, for payment fifteen days before the i | first oi September ol e.aeh year, is no logger al lowed, but the Auditor General is directed to add live per cent, to all State taxes hereafter 1 remaining unpaid after the first of August. The same law imposes an income tax upon i persons holding office in the State by appoint- ' | moot of the Governor, or elected under the pro visions of any laws ot the State, when the sal • ary exceeds six hundred dollars, one per cent, j upon such excess; exceeding twelve hundred I dollars, two per .•cut-; exceeding twenty live I hundred dollars, five percent. The above taxes are in addition to those now s imposed by law, and will largely increase the ; revenue ol the Slate. The War. It now appears that the recent movements in j Virginia were begun by (fen. Lee, not by Gen. ' Grant. Grant did not outflank the Confederate position at Spottsylvama ami coin} el its aban- j donnieut. Gen. Lee voluntarily retreat i from j that place at least forty-eight iiuiirs before Grant 1 i began inarch. The Confederate withdrawal • ; was begun on Tuesday, May 17. Gen. Grant's I j march began on Friday, May 20. The Con- ! federate attacks on Wednesday upon the Fed- j | era I tight and on Thursday by Eweii upon the . trains in the rear, were made to cover the re , treat. When Grant began bis march on Fri day, it is very likely that Leo's mam body had I , reached the North Anna. From this statement . two conclusions arc irresistible. Grant's wilh [ drawal of eight or nine miles from Spottsylva . nia towards Fredericksburg, could not have , | been made in contemplation of a liank move ment. Arid the Confederate retreat being vol . antafy, the position on the North Anna must j have been chosen beforehand, and by this time . must be as thoroughly fortified as Spottsyivania. j Grant's march instead of being a tlauk move ment now turns out to have been only cautious . lollowing of the Confederate rear. The federal supply post at Fredericksburg Ims s been abandoned. Fort Royal, on the lower ._ Rappahannock, is no doubt the new depot. To . Grant s present camp there is a wagon trans _ ; portalion from it of about twenty-five miles. After the heavy rains of the last two days this road must be almost impassable. Whether it is Grain's intention to maintain this line of , supplies, does not seem clear. There are report s White House, which i- about twenty iniits i ' down the North Anna and Pamunkey.
