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 . For further information address

association, composedT;xclnsively of young men
ot our town, gore a coupleof entertainments
ift Militaiy Hall, ooThotsday and Friday even
ings last. 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.

Young Friends—Since my lost, I bare thought
much about our privileges and blessings ns a

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.

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.

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

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.

Cheating ns out of the above snug sum, affords a fair spe

how well qualified he was to discharge the duties of his of

The above firm was composed of a couple of precious ras

we do know, that instead of improving the sight of our
