H State street, Boston, are the Agents for the Alloona

Independent, not Neutral.
We find an article, under the above caption,
hi the last number of tbe Erie Dispatch, much
of which so exactly expresses our sentiments
and defines our position that we shall draw upon
it in making up what follows.
By reference to tbe head of our paper, on first
page, it will be seen that Independent, not
neutral, is our niotto. Under it we have thus far
published tbe Tribune, and under it we intend it
shall bo published so long as we conduct it. In
our independence we acknowledge no fealty to
party or sect —bow not at tbe beck or nod of
political tricksters or political masters—cater
not to the corrupt and vitiated tastes of parties,
whose bigotry will not permit them tojudge fair
ly of anything that pertains to tbe good of the
provided it is not found' in .their com
mandments or political text book. We neither
look to the right or left, bur take a clear course,
steering clear of politics generally, and only make
suggestions and observations thereon when we
know we are right, and can do our country a
service—let those suggestions strike, where they
-inay, or let them offend either party—neverthe
less they are honest and unbiassed sentiments,
and we claim the privilege Of expressing them.
We have made favorable mention of,members of
all policnl parlies* who were candidates for of
fice—of some because of the principles they ad
vocated, which we believed would 1 elevate the
standard of our-common weal; of others pn
local or personal grounds, when the office was
not one wherein principles were involved, but
where faithful men were required. In doing so
we have pursued what seemed to us to be a con
sistent course, so that no party can reasonably
change ns with being entirely hostile orvpartic
ularly favorable to it. During tbe campaign
which is now,about closing, we have, on ac
account of the high state of feeling, referred
but seldom'to politics r and when we did so our
remark's were general, yet some whose eyes are
covered with the film of political prejudice, and;
whose zeal in their cause, right or wrong, will
not permit them to view the case dispassionately
and with discrimination, have took exceptions
to our coarse and say that because we are neu
tral we should not interfere with politics. Were
we a. professed neutral organ such proceedure
mightbeproper; but being an independent or
gan*, we will’not suffer our independence to, be
enrtiuled because we - may differ, ns is natural,
with some of our friends. We claim thntvre
have ns much right to express our preference
in politics and give our opinions os any men
that'breathe or claim to be freemen. • We are
not slaves whose tongues are .tied, who have
hearts and minds and yet dare not give utter
ance to our opinions or express our sentiments.
And in uttering them we ask no man to give
them credence unless he has a heart and mind
that beats in unison therewith—we ask no man
to act upon our suggestions unless ho is satis
fied that we are right, and that it is for. tbe good
of the country, the maintenance of the laws and
the support of the constitution. Subscribers
with whom we inay differ should treat us as
charitably os they do otber men, or as other
men do them. iWe Save always done that which
thought beqt, and if we have erred in our
judgment, it is human—and no man of judg
ment or highmmdedness- would be guilty of find
ing fault with us for doing that which every
mitn does,' express the honest convictions of his
heart—defend the right—denounce the wrong.
We wish it distinctly understood that these are
onr sentiments on the subject of independence,
and we claim that we have a right to speak
without being, called to task by those who differ
in opinion with us. We ask none to follow our
advice unless they believe whnt we say, and
thia they can- do os they please, as we do,
and be as independent os we ave.
ANtALAiiMUid EcMoa.—Under this head, the
PUbbnrgh - Dupaich .Bays it is rumored that Col.
CurUn has signified bis intention to ; rebuke in
decent haste in getting up petitions for appoint*
meats, and that those who hate been most busy,
in advance of bis inauguration, viU pe least fa*
Torably regarded. We give the rumor foe what
it may be, worth, bat hope that there may be few
to disgrace themselves by “ the wild; bant,after
office” which so generally, mars the triumph of
parties in thU country. Let it be the people’s
respire to. secure good officials and , servants—
not to reward that partisanship whiob pares
nothing for principle and much for self. Let
him be considered thetrnest friend of Freedom
who asks nothing for himself—sets up no-daims
for party advice. Should Col. Curtin inaugu
rate .tbepeform above indicated, he would do a
good thiogfor alltime to come ; and although
he might ipcer .the displeasure of a few brawl
ing politicians, he would be the more respected
by those whose good opinions are worth having.'
We hope .the rumor may prove correet

Bobbxkt or Adams’ Exmxss. Recently a
package of to the amount of $9,445 was
forwarded by Adams’ Express from Baltimore to
Hagerstown. Wheuthe package arrived it was i
found that $B,OOO, In notes, had baas abstracted
add their place (filled witli stripsof paper. 11
was suspected that the cobber? hod taken place
at Harrisburg, where themoney had lain over
Sunday . Immediately /airier the robbery an in
vest igationwasmade, and suspicion pointed to
a young mah named Simmons, a messenger in the
employ of the company, unwilling to .make a
direct charge, the officers laid'a trap for him.—
This they were fortunately enabled to do in con
sequence of all the notes taken having a pecu
liar mark upon them. They gave notice at all
business places of this fact, and finally one of
the notes was deposited at one of thei bonks by
the keeper of a lager beer saloon. .
This traced the robbery direct to young Sim
mons, who, when confronted by GoL Bingham,
tbe President of the Company, acknowledged
the crime. When asked what be bad done with
the money, be said that he hod spent thirty dol
lars, bad fifteen on bond, and had bnrned the
rest in Wetzel’s swampi He told Col. Bingham
where he bad spent the money, and also took
him to where he burned tbe balance,
showed him the ashes and the fragments of
notes, which fully satisfied the Colonel that
what he said was true. - He recovered the notes
spent by Simmons, and had him committed to
jail.
It is alleged, and generally believed, that
Simmons is partially insane, and this belief is
strengthened by the fact that he was once, for a
time, confined in the State Lunatic Asylum.
The proof being made to the bank that the
money has been destroyed, and the numbers of
the notes having all been preserved by register,
there will probably be a re-issue, and the com
pany will lose very little in the end.
LETTER FROM IRELAND.
Corrtspondtnct of the Altoona Tribunt.
Colebain, County Antrim, \
Septembei 12, 1860. /
When I finished my last letter I was in Bel
fast, now 1 write from Colerain. 1 proceed, at
first, to give you a description of Belfast. Jew
towns have progressed so rapidly as Belfast.—
It appears almost incredible that in the course j
of 30 years the population has increased tl>ree- I
fold. Mr. Daviss, to whom lam under lasting
obligations for information furnished, tells me
that in 1821 the population Was 37,000, and in
1861 it was 100.00 CK This great city, with all
its houses and inhabitants, stands upon the ter
ritory of one proprietor, the Marquis of Done
gal, to whom the whole town belongs and to
whom .every citizen pays tribute. The town is
conveniently situated on the river Lagan, just
before it flows into the elongated bay known as
Belfast Lough. The Irish name of Belfast is ex
pressive of the situation of the town. Beal-na
farsad signifying the “ month of the ford.”—
The harbor is one of the finest in the Kingdom.
Miiton, who, though a great man, could not be
charitable, spoke very disrespectfully of them
for this liberality of spirit, styling them “ block
ish Presbyters” >nd “unhallowed priestlings.”
In 1660, as I learn from a plan bearing that
date, the town contained but six streets. Per
haps the most remarkable fact in the industrial
history of Belfast is, that no printing press was
brought intoihe city before the year 1696,
Belfast is the town wherein the first Bible ever
published in Ireland, was printed, and where
the oldest Irish newspaper, a copy of which I
mailed you, was originally established. Nearly
opposite the Post Office, in Rosemary street,
stands the chapel of the first Presbyterian con
gregation. In Belfast there are 20 congrega
tions of Presbyterians, 4 of Roman Catholics,
12 of Episcopalians, and various others, in all
62 icburbhes and chapels. The Presbyterians,
are the largest body in Belfast, form a par
ticular church, planned on the model of that of,
Scotland, and called the Presbyterian Church of
Ireland or Ulster. This church was founded in
the year 1642. The chnrch of the first congre
gation Is the finest belonging to the body. By
a flight of twenty steps you reach a handsome
portico,'composed of ten elegant Doribcolumns,
over which rises an elaborate balustrade. The
internal decorations I 'are quite in keeping with
the external beauty of the building. The ceil
ing is completely covered with ornamental work
in stucco, and the seats are polished mahogany.
There are other buildings, as the Custom Hpuse,
Post Office, St. Ann’s Parish Church, Belfast
Academy, Barrack and Workhouses, &0., des
criptions of which I must omit.
The flax mills will naturally attract the atten
tion of the American. They are situated in all
parts of the town, and ready access can be ob
tained into roost of them. That of Messrs.
Muihollands, situate in the Northern extremity
of the town, is one of the most extensive in the
Kingdom. The interminable hum of myriads
of spindles, and the subdued sound of machin
ery. together with the light and airy appearance
of the rooms and quiet and orderly bearing of
the hands employed, appear at first sight to be
a new feature in Ireland. This firm emyloy
1,000 hands, and the foreman told me that thby
generally have $500,000 worth of flax in the
course of manipulation. To give an idea of the
increase of the linen business, I will state what
the gentleman above alluded to told me. In
1808, said he, there were 212 spindles in opera
tion in Ireland. In 1852, in Ulster, Munster
and Leister there were 600,000 spindles in ope
ration. From the. flax mills we went to Linen
Hall, sometimes styled the White Linen Hall.
It was built in 1715-and cost §50.000. The
site was granted by the JEarl of Donegal..' It is
built of brick, is quadrangular in shape and
two stories in height. Well planted grounds
surround thehall. :T never was, before I entered
this hall, completely surrounded with pure Irish
linen, but here 1 was in linen of the most cost-'
,ly kind, for some single table cloths of which
they asked J6lO or sso,* Of course I did pot
buy any of that kind.
I visited the Music Hall, Bt George's Chnrch,
Queen’s College, St. Malachy's Reman Catholic
Church, Museum, Botanical Gardens and many
other places of interest, which made my stay of
three days, in Belfast, exceedingly pleasant.
I But we now start from Belfast further North.
Leaving this busy town behind ns, we soon find
ourselves in the midst of the cultured meadows :
of the County Antrim. The woyis, fora space
of seven miles, hy the- Side of Belfast Lough,
sometimes called, the bay of Carrickfergua, a
fine sheet of water, about 12. miles long and 6
miles bread, measuring from Groomsport, in
County Down, to Whitehead, on the Antrim
'side ; Upon-this Bay, but one ship, the “Speed-;
wall,”; is known .to- have suffered. Presently we
stop at Antrim, a .small town on the Six Mile j

ing a owing to the supposed healing
properties jof the water. Next to the healing
ore the petfefying properties of the water, about
which snob; extravagent tales havo been told.—
Although many of these stories have been man
ufactured, ihe water does possess the power of
petrofying.'; I was told’thai a petrefaction was
I found some years ago, in this lake, that weighed
I' 700 pounds. It was entirely a stone without any
wood in it.! Some of the most beautiful speci
mens of petrefaction can be obtained from the
peasantry for a mere trifle. In, this lake is j
found the pollan or bright silver fish, which, in 1
the season,; is as common ns herring in the cot
tages of the poor dev. Mr. Pattison showed
me a book, I containing a description of this lake,
said to have been written A. IX 05:—“ There is
a Lake in Ijlsteraud mochofysshetherin, whiche
is XXX my lea in lengthe and XV in brede. The
River Ban : runneth out of the Lake into the
North Ocean, and men say that this Lake began
in this manner,” &c. The style and orthogra
phy is v?ry ancient. Here I saw the first red
hand. The parent legend is, that af some very ,
remote period, a party from some unknown land
sailed to Ireland for .the purpose of conquering
it. Nearing the IJlstcr coast, it was agree 1 that
whoever should touch the land first should be
Lord of it: ' One daring chief, seeing a proba
bility'of his losing the prize, deliberately cut
off his left-hand and threw it ashore before the
other boat’s crew could land, and thus having
touched the soil first he claimed it, and from
him sprung the O’Neills, the royal race of Ulster.
Leaving Lough Neagh and Antrim, we con
tinue our railway ride to Ballymena. Not long
after quitting Antrim the deer park of Shane’s
Castle is passed. 1 was told by a friend that
there was a. tomb stone near Shane’s Castle,
bearing thip inscription ;—“ This vault was erec
ted in 166(5 by Shean Mac Phelin Mac Bryan
Mac Sheau O’Neill, Esq , ns a burying place for
himself an.d: the family of Claudeboy.” Won
der what person' in Altoona would think of cul
ling a son by a name os long as the above
We pass through Ballymena and Ballymony
and stop at Coleraine. The latter place bus
long becu noted for the excellence and fineness
of its linens, called •* Coleraines,” and for its
salmon fisheries on the Bann, and 1 think a very
proper addition might bo added, viz; for the
abundance-of fleas. I was there several days
and was never so pestered before.
My next visit will be to the Giant's Causeway.
You can go by Portrush or Bushmills. I prefer
paying a shilling and going through Priestland
to Bushmills. Ob! what a lovely country.—
Here I passed through the home of my wife’s
grand-parents, and plucked flowers by the road
side. We passed Ball} labor and reached Bush
mills in tithe fur dinner. Bushnills is an old
town, deriving its name from the river Cushion
which it is placed, and an old water mill now in
ruins. It is a favorite refcort for anglers on ac
count of the abuudancc on salmon in the Bush.
Any American desiring to\ practice the gentle
art will get much valuable information from my
good friends, Archibald McKinney and Arthur
McGlaughlin,, than whom mere hospitable and
respectable gentlemen do not reside in the Uni
ted Kingdom. I will long remfcqnber-the kind
ness shown me by the people of.Bushmills. In
numerable were the questions asked me about
America, but I answered them all. Many were
the sobs and tears from those who would go, if
they could, to enjoy the rich boon belonging
only do Americans.
The houses are divided into three apartments,
generally, sometimes more, viz: the dwelling,
the cow house, the bairn and the pig house, all
under ohe roof, with no floor save the earth, for
wooden floors are very scarqp. Rich people
have stone flog floors, or tyle. Houses are all
stone and the roofs are either covered with
slate, or thatched with straw.
In my next I will give you a description of
the Giant’s Causeway, Duuleith Castle and car
rick-a-Reed. Yours, Respectfully;

The Distress in Kansas. —Mr. Tbaddius
Hyntt, who has just returned from a tour of
benevolent investigation at the. seat of famine
in Kansas, in bis memorial to the President
praying tlie withdrawal of the homestead of the
settlers from the public sales ordered this.fall,
draws the.folio wing bprrible.picture of the con
dition of the people:
Thousands of once thrifty and prosperous
American citizens are now perishing for want.
Winter is upon them ; clothing they are nearly
bereft; food they have not to last them through
the cold season that is approaching. Of over a
hundcred thonsmd people upon Kansas soil six
months ago, at least Oije-fourth orone-third are
left; of the remainder it is safe to say that \
forty thousand at this moment see nothing but
tfxodus or starvation at the end of the (JO days i
now just before them; from ten to twenty ;
thousand Ipok with only despairing eyes upon i
November; thousands cannot subsist a month
longer unaided ; other thousands are living
upon the little which their neighbors deprive
themselves of to give them—neighbors equally
unfortubat?, and with whom starvation is
merely a question of but a fgw days longer ;
while still other thousands, if not at once re
lieved must perish from hunger or the diseases
that follow in its tram.
Massacre op Emigrants. —Thq last arrival
from Oregon, brings dates from Vancouver, a
town on tljo Columbia river; to the 3d instant.
H. Scheiber had just arrived at that place with
news of the .massacre by the Snake Indians of
an entire emigrant train, consisting of forty-six
persons; nineteen of whom were men and the
balance women and children. The party was
first attacked about fifty miles west of Salmon
Falls on tlie 9th of September. This attack
lasted about one hour The Indians then with
drew end allowed the train to proceed five miles,
when theyl again attacked the train.
This fight lusted two days and one night.—
On (the afternoon of the 10th the Indians had
{(ossesipn pftlie whole tram with the. exception
of six men, who being mounted escaped. After
travelling 'through the woods fur nine days tlie
six. survivprs Were again attacked, and five of
the parity filled. Mr. Scheiber alone escaped
by hiding |n the bashes. ' After travelling seven
days withopt food, be was found in an exhaust
ed; condition by some persons who took him to
the Dalles.';Of the nineteen males in tlie party,
six Were (discharged soldiers (from Fort Hall.
Mr. Scheiber is the, only survivor. He says
that the six men who fled on horseback did not
leave until;the Indians had complete possession
of the train; and from the screams of the wotnen
and ; children he was led to believe that the
Whole;purtjrjiwas butchered. ' "
BOU The Fall River Prtss tells the following:
i “ Two young ladies fell equally nnd deeply in
i love with n| gentleman who visited them very
j frequently.;!' Being mutually acquainted with
