WE ANB ITEMS. •<* - r i : Tbs P«niattVAinA Bailroad.—Tho IbUpw tng Article on this subject, which tre clip from the ritUburgh or Friday last, go com pletely embodioa oar sentiments and feelings, ihat we cheerfully giro it a place m our col nmns. We forbear comment, other than that we cordially endorse ere^ything therein con tained : “ Whatever differences of opinion may exist among the citizens of various sections of our State as to the propriety of releasing this road from the tax on tonnage, we are fully convin ced that it is most admirably managed—we think conducted with more care and security against accidents than any road in the country. When one considers the region which lit traver ses, it is almost marvelous how safe it ik—how extremely rare are even slight accidents, while none of a fearful ’character are to be recorded. In passing over these mountains, either by night or by day, an accustomed traveler feels hardly more uneasy than if by bis own fireside, and the most timid women sleep calmly and safely while ascending and descending the for midable Allegheny mountain range in the dar kest and dreariest night. This security, and the -assurance of it, which is imparted to every mind, rest on the convic tion that careful, sober and skilful men are in control in every position of responsibility—that no l|nk in the chain of security is left unmatch ed—no careless management excused, in any department; and most important of all, that each department is controlled absolutely by its owp head, with no conflict of duty or authority. The President has his own place and dnties, so the. superintendents, agents, conductors—be who is responsible for the management of each department, alone employs and directs those employees—no one else pretends to interfere with his plana It is of course to be expected that the super intendents and other important officers of such a company will be carefully selected. Mr. T. A. Scott, the general superintendent, who re sides at Altoona, though apparently quite a young man, is a gentleman of rare qualifica tions for the post—polite and accommodating in any required degree, yet remarkably ener getic, intelligent, firm, and efficient iq every respect; and that his usefulness has been well appreciated, is itself one testimony to the good management and good sense of the President and directors. Of the other officers it is only necessary to say that they are generally chosen i with regard to qualification exclusively—favor itism or “ influence" being carefully guarded against. 11 hile on some roads, as we are told, each Director presumes to exercise “influence,” and interfere, when he sees fit, with the duties of this or that agent, he who should attempt such a thing on our great Central would learn a useful lesson in humility, in short meter. We hope to see the day when the fpeling of hostility toward tills road which peculiar cir cumstances have caused in some parts of our Slate, will Lave passed away—when the true conviction, that the whole State is interested in Its prosperity, and must prosper with it, will impress itself on the public mind. So far as the tonnage tax is concerned, while we hold that the continuance of the tax was one of the inducements to the sale of the State works to the company at an almost nominal price, we are yet of the opinion that since the tax almost necessarily compels the company to higher rates of freight than are charged by competing roads, it iaAt«cdly T £uswtuuiabta that this tonnage tax Is really paid by the shipper or-consumer of freight; and, in the long run, that we, the peo ple, rather than the railroad company, pre the actual taxees—as it were, taking our own mon ey to pay a tax nominally paid to us by company. But we may misjudge, and will not discuss the subject further at present.” Durr s Mercantile College, Pittsburgh.— The history of.-this institution, were it written, would show .that no similar one in the country presents eo many valuable and reliable advau tages for obtaining a thorough and elevated com mercial education, from the first establish ment of the institution, the antecedents of the Principal commanded the confidence of the com mercial community. Merchants looked upon him as one of themselves, who knew from ex perience what they wanted in clerks and book keepers ; and near twenty years in the service has shown how well their confidence has been deserted. All the best and most reliable ac countants and most thoroughly bred .business men in this and the neighboring cities, are grad uates of this institution, gnd many of them tes tify to having slept fro«s the College Hall to the counting rooms of merchants, bunks, rail road offices, &c., and were in a few days famil iar with all the details of business. We do not, therefore, ovei estimate the value pf this insti tution, when we say that .it has, by elevating the standard of the moral and professional char acter of the merchant and the accountant, con tributed largely to the prosperity of this and the neighboring cities. If therefore, any of our readers enquire where id the best place to obtain a thorough and reliable business educa tion, we say, send to* this college for its circu lar, and refer to some one iof its numerous old pupils, who will answer for the truth of all we hare stated. They can speak from many years’ successful practice in business. Many of them will state that the diploma of tins college, was £he foundation of their subsequent prosperity and success .

Th» first was for their own benefit andj the second : for that of the Altoona Brass Band. The peicos performed were “ Luke, the Laborer,” and “ Temptation; or, Thelrish Em igrant.” On both evenings the Hall was crowd ed, and the audience seemed highly pleased with the performances. For young men that have never had any experience in the line of acting, we must say they all acquitted themselves re markably well. Several of them manifested talents of a high order. All -that is necessary in their case is experience-. The association, it is due to state, was not got up for the purpose of making money, but solely for the sake of the amusement and instruction of its members.— They deserve to be encouraged. Valuable Wobk.—Mr, King, the agent for this place, has handed us a copy of “Apple ton’s Illustrated Hand-Book of American Trav el,” which we have ns yet but cursorily exam ined./ From the examination, however we are free io say that it is a most valuable work, and ought to be in the hands of every citizen who 1 • wishes to be acquainted with the geography, characteristics, and improvements of his coun try. It is the most comprehensive Hand-Book of travel in. our country that we have oven seen, and we are determined to keep, a tight hold on it. From it we have already learned more about our country than we ever before know. It is for sale by Mr. King, the sole agent for this place, at the Shoe Store of Mr. John Shoemaker, in the Masonic Temple. Persons desirous of in specting the character and merits of the work can either call on Mr. King or at our Sanctum. Tveoxe Items. —From the Tyrone Star, of last week, we learn that the boarding house at Pennington Ore Bank, belonging to Bald Eagle Furnace, was burned to the ground some two weeks since. The inmates lost about $BOO worth of property, consisting of their potatoes, meat aud other provisions. From Ihe same paper we learn that the Pres byterian church of that .place, in connection with Birmingham and Warriors Mark, lave made ar rangements to secure the pastoral services of Ilev. Mr. £iupper, D; D., late Missionary toChi- Also—that the Lutheran charge of that place, heretofore supplied by Rev. Fletcher, of Hun tingdon, has secured the services pf Her Crist, resident minister at Birmigbam. figy* To “A Reader” who sent us a copy of the story published in our last paper, with opin ions thereon, we would say that it was not se lected for publication, and was placed in type, ere we knew it, and we had cither to publish it or delay the paper for a day. However, there is and old saying that to the pure ail things are pure,” and wo respectfully commend it to the attention pf “A Reader.” The extreme modesty of “ --IT Reader ” strongly reminds us of an anecdote of Dr. John sen. After he had published LLs dictionary, a lady one day com plimented him on its accuracy &c.. and said she was particularly pleased to find that he had omitted all vulgar words. The Dr. tartly repli ed. “So, madam, you have been looking for them.” It may be so with “ A Reader.” Planting Shade Treks.—We are pleased in deed, to notice that quite n number of our citi zens have been and are now engaged in plan ting shade trees aiding the sidewalks in front of their residences. It evinces a spirit of improve ment that is highly commendable and will be a pride and pleasure to them, ere long, ou which they could not place a value. To those who have trees iu a growing coqdition we would say now is the time to look after them. Let those who pride themselves in having these hand some ornaments in front of their dwellings, at tend to them and have the pods which germi nate worms removed. Many a beautiful shade tree may thus bh saved. New Firm.—We are pleased to announce that our young and agreeable friend, John Lowthcr has taken the place of Mr. McDowell, of the firm of Lowther & McDowell, and that a new firm, under the name Of J. & J. Lowther bus been established. While we are sorry to .part with such a clever friend as Mr. McDowell, we are glad that his pkcje is to filled by one so ac commodating us John is admitted to be. May prosperity attend the new firm. H@»Tbe Union Daily Prayer Meetings are assuming an interesting feature in this place The various rooms in which the meetings are held are crowded, find the deep interest mani fested by those who attend them must be pro ductive of incalculable good. The sending in of requests', by those'who have been awakened, for the prayers of Clod's people, is indeed en couraging. May the good work progress. For thf Altoona Trilmhr.

The Blessings of Liberty*—a depth of Gratitude due to our Fathers—Our Responsibility— A great part of the World to be delivered from Civil and Religious Despotism—lßw and by u-hom must it'be done 9 . Young Friends—Since my lost, I bare thought much about our privileges and blessings ns a free and independent people. No nation under heaven has 59 much of which to bo proud, and for which to be thankful, .either oh account qf her civil or religious freedom. With regard to the former there is no restriction, except the re strains of wholesome iaw—in the latter, the rule }s the man’s own conscience. In - bis worship of Jehovah their is neither Jet, nor hindrance. In looking at these privileges, the thought has oeeured, that trade? Gqd, we owe a deep and lasting debt-of gratitqdp to our Fathers. Those blessings come tons as the result of their wis dom, toil, patriotism, their lifes blood. Andhotr recreant to quir trnst we shall be, if we mil to transmit to coming generations, in their present purity, these institutions which, M an inheritance they have bequeathed to usi—- While it is onr priyttege to enjoy and prafilt by . % Qnr children.— J fonmmm ihare reelevtfl them frpm oqrfath' S* - \ "~r- f LETTERING. 3 * era. And tomeet thesejustwx pectations. the ftevpludonaiy Heroes, and the shades of departed Patriot Fathers, will rise up :to condemn end the wrongs npon our chil dren, and childrens children, will heap execra tions unmeasured npon onr memories. It does seem to me then, that the responsibilities of the present generation are tremendous, fearftdlyao. Wo hold in keeping for-all coming generations,, earth’s greatest j>oon to man—civil and religions i liberty. = 'j. ■ - This responsibility is greatly intensified too, when we regard;the sad and deeply degraded! condition of most other nations and then remem ber that true philanthropy makes it obligatory on us to seek Bind labor for their elevation. Why, in many portions of this earth, the right of private judgment is unknown to the masses. They must seeahd think, as “ the favoured few,” see and think- for them. And of coarse these i despots and tyrajnts see and feel that for their purposes it is necessary that they keep the iron hoof of civil oppression upon the necks of the people, and the halter of religious despotism around their throats—ready to press a little har der the one, if ahy signs of life appear in the pulsations of popular freedom, and draw a little tighter the’ others if the heaving bosom of the great populace, shows the least evidence of re maining love for; religious liberty—the highest exercise of man’s inalienable and dearest rights. And he who takes it from his fellow, is a tyrant in the worst sense of the term—has disgraced his own soul, by making its counter-part in an other, the object of such treatment—has commit ted a wrong for which he can never atone hero and has sinned heinously against God, by whom he can not, and will not be forgiven, either in this world or the next, unless he truly re pent. Of all the despots on earth, a religious tyrant is the most execrable. j \et a large .portion of our earth is under a I tyranny civil and religious. And to us their j eyes, are turned with the hope of deliverance j from their oppressors. Those who oppress 1 them regard us with fear and trembling. They dread the influence of our example, and fear through us the disceminaiion of free Principles. And well they may •, for the influence of Repub lican America, is at this day telling upon the remotest nations of earth. Republicism is no longer an experiment. The problem of self government by the people has been successfully worked out. And the world regards the unpar alleled and altpost unexpected success of our free institutions, ;as the tocsin of alarm to des pots and tyrants of all kinds. Already do some of them feel lheu| thrones tottering. And just ns the principles pf free government go out from us, will their trembling increase until they fall, burying in the rujins their occupants. If Amer icans arc true to themselves and their princi ples, this time will—it must come. Light and darkness can not'dwell together. No more can liberty and despotism. The American Engle is on the wing. Tire motto inscribed upon her broad aegis is— peath to tyrants, and universal liberty to man.': Her pioions are strong enough to bear her übovs every mountain top, and her scream shall ring through every valley. In the brightuiug future,.the morn of universal liberty, civil and religious, seems almost to break.— May its light soon burst upon the world. Then shall earths grand jnbilee begin. But to whom must the consummation of tins great work be committed ? To you, young men, and to your; fellows in America belongs the glory of it. You are the pride and hope of our country. To your keeping will the Ship of State, and the religious rights of the people, ?oon be entrusted.. And upon you will depend the success and universal triumph of her prin ciples. Are ytjujmtdy for the trust ? Arc you prepared to take the helm ? The responsibility is fearful—bat from it you cannot escape— from it you dare' not shrink. Nor is it a re sponsibility of ;a general, indefinite character; but of a personal individual kind. Each one has bis part to peiform, his place to fill, and for the manner: in which he does so, must he answer to his own conscience, his country, aud his Maker. The present is youp schooling for it. Is your training preparing you for this coming responsibility, or not ? This is a ques tion for your prefient, candid consideration. Look well to it. For the present farewell. Most truly and affectionately, yours &o. T. N. K. HOME CORRESPONDENCE, DrscAssvij.LE, Ai&u, 19,1858. Here I am, tmij that too contrary to my ex pectation. In njy perambulation through the country I concluded to halt here a short time and give you aii dff-hand sketch suggested by visiting this place. While sauntering through these streets and thinking how, four months agoj this place resounded with the hum of business* hut now silent an|d: pulseless, this perceptible truth came into;iiy' mind. »* The fashions of this world change and we change with them.” This village is Ijedutifuliy situated, surrounded by a delightful country. It is on the Turnpike extending from Philadelphia to Pittsburg, about two miles west of! Hollidaysburg and two north ofNewry. The polling Mill and Nail Factory have ceased their pdisy din and the shops be longing to them a|re destitute of workmen. I have been informed that the cause of the works stopping originated from a disagreement among the proprietors—more probably from the late fi nancial panic. At'pnc time these Works turn ed out a great amonnt of nails and rolled iron, and, to a casual observer, the prospectfora long and brisk business were very flattering, judging from the amount jjf patronage they received.— Our Ex-Eepresehia|lve, Jno. M. Gibbony Ess., is about attaching- a >• Chopping mill” to his Foundry whioh j pelipye will also soon bo in op eration. The Tahnety, owned by Wm. Smith Esq., is well and the owner employs quite a number of hands. In my opinion how ever he yet needs one very necessary article to make him independent and happy, and that is a Wife. Mr. James employs about a dozen hands in making lime at this place. There are fethls towq a Uacksputl i shop, one waggonmaker shop and » carnage sb )p. all doing a paying bW ness ; three ware ips, in one of which at least, there is preaehiag iy sabbath.. , 1 The citizens ar>|tiod, hospitable and genol-' '■~:-\~'z*V;-:*^. v -k . a- ”;;; , —-r~ on* to strangers, while a friendly feeling exists among themselves. Biz families have gone to Kansas from this place, with the space of a year, and still others are making preparations to re move thither. Inoticed something here which struck me ■very forcibly about the “ rAtns’’ —the prodig ious sice of the ladies’ hoops. Truly, “• the way of the transgressor is hard/’ It occurred to me that a considerable diminution in the width of their skirts would be necessary before a lover could whisper a “proposal.” At present they seen to place all snob approaches at defiance as much os to say “JProcul! Oj>rqcuU esteprofani!” STANS. ■ Ladies and Gentlemen We would;.call your attention to the advertisement of Prof. O. J. Wood’s Hair Restorative, which appears In the columns of our present number. Prom our long acquaintance with the propri etor, and yritb numerous individuals who have used his preparation with perfect success for the last two years, we feel no hesitation in rec ommending the article as superior to any of the preparations now in Use for the same purpose, viz : for restoring gray hair to its original color, a sure and perfect cure for baldness, and a nev erfailing preventative for the failing of the hair. It is decidedly the best and most popular in use for beautifying, preserving, restoring and strengthening the hair, relieving diseases of the skin, and removing scurff, dandruff, and all eruptions and feverish heat from the sculp. We speak in relation to the above from what we know, having been personally acquainted with numerous persons who have used the res torative for the above purposes with the most gratifying results. It is not often we notice a pnlent medicine. Indeed, we think we have never puffed one be fore; but Prof. Wood’s Hair Restorative is some thing so superior to most of the preparations of the day, that we cannot forbear asking the at tention of our readers to it. —(Catholic Vindica tor. The Panic—More Failures. —The panic in New \ork seems to be ou the increase. In this city everything goes on smoothly, aud the only failures we have heard of were the failures to furnish good fits made by some inferior clothing establishments. There is no such difficulty to be encountered by those who patronize the Brown Stone Clothing Hall of Rockhill and Wil son, Nos. 603 and 605 Chesnut street, above sixth. Gentleman and youths never fail to pro cure capital fits at this popular establishment. The Best Cocqh Medicine. —One of the very best Cough Medicines to be found anywhere, is Dr. Keyscr's Pectoral Syrup, sold by G. W. Kess ler, at 50 cents per bottle. OUR BLACK LIST.
