It is a Well known fact, that' many questions nearly allied with the pub lic good, the success of which would greatly promote tbis opjpct, yet bear do their fade a color ,which renders them unpopular at first sight. , And here we apprehend the Press in many c&fles fails to sonic extent in its noble mission. It hesitates to en counter the popular current, even when this current has been created through a misunderstanding of the nature and hear ing .of the .subject in dispute. For our part we shall not yllow such considerations to deter us froim Boldly uttering our earn est convictions on any and all questions as they arise.’ Having, as we believe, dis covered a matter in which our people arc deeply interested —an operation by which, through .ignorance of its effects, the people snffer themselves to be plundered annually of a large amount, we shall not hesitate to exposethe injustice of the arrangement, even for a time we should meet with hpjK>sitlon. from those we seek to Jbenofit. \ Acting upon the ideas; here suggested, ire |mve recently bestowed much attention on the Tonagc Tax at present imposed by (ha State upon the trade seeking an av enue dyer the Pennsylvania Bail Bead. Actuated by the fact that the magnitude of the interests involved rendered this one of the most important questions at pres ent connected .with the Administration of oar -State affaus-r-and one which it was mAfedesirable should be fully understood by every • citizen of Pennsylvania, we beg leave to the case before pur readers as it presents itself to ns. It is yrell koown that tho State .at present derives an annual revenue of say a quarter of a million of dollars from a tax of three mills per ton per mile,. imposed on freight car ried pyer the Pennsylvania ‘Bail Boad.—* This tax was! incorporated with the char ter of the said' company only as a means of projecting from competition the .State improvements, which having since passed into hands of Aisjsame Ponn’a Bail relieves the State Irom.all so licitn#: fqr their protection. Neverthe less, repeal of this tax wasifirat Was ourndble old 4d6,- deht jm, a condition to ,liberally foregoah annual inoome of such an ambantf If aearpontipn indebted to the State for her exmtcnpe, and which freely accepted the j|riiipf 4he Bond at Ae dato .#.s*»■ organization eonld be-made to a Rev enue of a quarter of a million per autnm,. to pay the interest on one-eighth of our dhtire State debt, was it good policy to allow them to break the bargain ? These ; and similar interrogatories arose in ourmind, and we doubt not such have al jßp been stared by many of our readers. Under such a state of affairs we approach ed Ala question. Our surprise can per- haps he imagined, but we are sure cannot well be described when we found that the Penn’ft Sail Road Co., did not in reality, previously supposed, pay this 4ax.;||jul f no not a cent of it ; but on tbe-jonriraqr, that it was merely collected tyr ihsfccompany from shippers and con- along their line, in. ad dition to the freight charges made 'for tmnsporintioa. Of this feet eveiy shipper su»a 80 much additional tax collected by the Pean’a Rail Road 00., for the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Thus the Company is merely made a Tax Collector, and has as little to do with paying the tax as the public tax, collector has with liqui dating the assessment made upon private citizens. Here was a view of the question we were totally unprepared for, and one which pat an entirely different face on the whole matter. As long as we believed that we had u stuck” this wealthy corporation, to the tone of €250,000 per annum, we were in no- special concern about the re peal ofthe-tax. It was a good joke all thiwjghoutl I- Wehada very goodthing *nd the temptation was gpreatlio ho& on; tq it- Rat alas! when we discovered that thC;dforesaid €250,000 wm every year quietly drawn from our own pockets, the laflgh wae decidedly against ns, the boot wasnot only on the other leg, hot it pinched our corns unmercifully. I ; wiah ohr readers to understand ful ly, that not <me cent.ofthia.sodatled.Ton nage Tax is really paid by the Penna. R. R. Co., but that every cent of it; is collec ted from the people residing aloing the Line ofthatjßoad, who are compelled *to i use itj their ohly mcanß of inter-communi-1 cation. Eyerybarrelofflomyeverjr piece, of dry goods] every article oither to eat or to wear, has been carried,over the road, haspAiditsfull proportion of this Tax, and 'by &at amount has its coat to the consumer been increased. More than this, from the very natnre of things, the Local Trade, and the Local Trade alone, has to pay the .entire amount of the Tax. The desperate struggle for the through trade, in which the New 'York, Pennsylva nia and Southern Routes are engaged, is familiar to all, in conseqiience of which the rates from competing points through out the West, have been reduced to a point barely sufficient to cover the cost of trans portation. Ont of this trade no Tonnage ' Tax can be raised. What.then is to be done? Simplythis remains, to collect from the citizens of Pennsylvania, who use this line , the whole tax which the State of Pennsylvania , has in its wisdom seen fit to impose. This is so palpahly the case that we need not waste time in attempting still further to elucidate what is already clear os demonstration can make it. The question then arises, if the tax had to be collected in Pennsylvania and from Pennsylvanians for the benefit of the whole State of Pennsylvania, why should not all parts of the State contribute to the fund. Where is the justice, not to say con atitutionaUty, of burdening one portion of the State for the benefit of .all? Why should the farmers, miners, manufactur ers and business men residing along the line of every other line N in the-State, be al lowed to sbipand receive their goods un trammelled by a special tax, while we, citizens of thesame State, as loyal to its institutions and we hope as brave in their defence—the .peers and equals of the proudest within her border—why should We be subjected to this unequal and un just legislation* 1 ( Why, we would wk, should the ship per of Cincinnati, of St Louis, or of Chica go, be at liberty to ship his trade over our own Pennsylvania road, built by Pennsyl vania energy and skill and laid with Pennsylvania iron, nntaxed, a privilege denied to onr own. Why should the inhabitants Of the "West use onr road un . taxed while the citizens of Pennsylvania .pay tribute. We pause for a reply. Wd have already exhausted the space at our disposal, but at an early day we pro pose to recar to the subject again. Mean while we ask our readers to give theit at tention to the matter, as we have presen ted it. It is s qumtUon deeply affeqtdng Ae interests of all parties residing on or near Ae line of the Pennsylvania Bail &oad, and should be carefully con sidered. ff^in.Eiirop©; Thp steamship Africa arrived at New iFork.on the with three dayajaternews J&om Europe; , Mr. WWtehouse,.the elec trician, has again written to the Atlantic Telegraph Company,m,which he contends that thd defect in the cable is much nearer the shore than has been generally supposed and that it can be made available.

Van Tries, Cornet Bond, of .Ht&idayslrarp, were the invited guests, (together with several glorious fellows of Antis) and during the afternoon diseonraed music most pleasant to the ear> It was time the writer over bod thfi pleasure “of hearing them, and most truly it teas a pleasure: The bond consists Of thirteen as fine looking fellows (and withal as clever and jovial set of men) as ever the sun shown upon, and the taste and skill the; displayed, in the selection and execution of the pieces played, is most gratifying to soy lover of music. Of the dinner—the many jgood things partaken of by the lucky guests—l can’t give a description oA and it would be cruel if-1 could, to dp so, because 'why tantalize your readers, (and you) by naming the luxuries which we en joyed, making their teeth water for delecacies they didn’t get, so I will simply say; the sump tuous dinner seemed to surpass even what might have been expected to have been provided by Gen. Bell. During the afternoon: the writer’s was not the only, heart that beat more audibly than usual on hearing the touching song of “ The Flower of the Prairie” so admirably song by a fair guest who was there! After a very pleasant half day, finding up-by Alex. Vaughn (and who that knows Alex, don’t know how he would, sing it) singing in Ms own inimitable style, “Oh, Angeline I love yon,” the party left for their homes, well satisfied that Bell's Mills is a very pleasant place to go, and that Gen. Bell is a prince of good fellows. 'K. Messrs. Editors : — As a reader of, your jour nal, I was gratified to see you suggest the name of Col. W. M. Lloxd, of this county, fpr the re sponsible position of State Treasurer. Col L. is a gentleman of pleasing manners, beloved by nil his fellow men who know himl, for his whole souled liberality, and strict regard for honesty and truth. His perfect familiarity with finan cial matters, and his thorough business qualifi cations, would render him peculiarly fitted for the post. Ip these days, when men are not al ways selected for important positions of this kind on account of their high moral character or private worth, the election of Col. Lloyd, whose integrity and honor no man could doubt, would be most fortunate to the people of the State. Many good men have been, named but I hope the Legislature will select the person named above. This part of Pennsylvania, which so nobly sustained the cause of the PEOPLE in the late fight, will have claims for the office of State Treasurer, certainly not surpassed by any other portion of jtbe State. Let our Represen tatives then urge; the of Mr. Lloyd, and if elected .by the Legislature, neither they nor the people of the : State will ever have cause to regret it. ■ ; ' altoona: A Bov’s Tongue Fastened to a Lamp Post. —On Saturday a week, a little fellow about eight yeans old, a son of Mr. Gilleau, booksel ler, while playing with some other boys on North street, approached a lamp post and care lessly applxed'hm tongue to its gray-frosted sur face, wheq in anunstaht, to the boy’s Nown'hor ror and utter astonishment of Ms playmates, he was held fast by phis tongue to the post, suffer ing very severe pun, and totally unable to help Or extricate himself Of course the boy could not speak, and could only manifest bis feelings by rigna with Ms bands. Various applications of warm tea* steam, Were made by some neigbbors, wbo heard the unusual noise made by the other boyp, and came to, learn wfaat wos the matter, but of ho avail; euoh was the action of the cold iron that the hold was even getting' tighter; when the boy’a father heard of the af fair, and hastening to his relief, he took a knife and whs obliged to out the tongue loose, leaving its skin still fast to the post; and causing the blood to flow very profusely.

The whole will make between 1 1700 and 2000 pages. 1 1 is believed that no book has ever been published at so low a rate. Last year I advertised in the Daily O lobe, for six months, and in about one hundred other newspapers in the U.
