Tre MIFFLIN AND CENTRE COUNTY RAIL
Roap.—It will be observed by an adver-
ment in another column, that there will be
8 mass meeting held at Potters Mills, on the
20th of May, for the purpose of arousing the
people of this County to put forth an effort
in behalf of this long talked of and much
needed Railroad.
The proposed Road is to be the counecting
link between the Pennsylvama Road at Lew-
_istown and the terminus of the Bellefonte
and Snow Shoe Road, at this place. The
distance is only about thirty miles, and,
surely Centre and Mifflin Counties, assisted
as they will be, by the Pennsylvania Com-
pany, have got the means wherewith to
build. ;
The only thing wanted 18 the eriterprise in
our people, and we do sincerely hope that
the little dormant spark of this precious ar-
ticle that still exists among this people, can
in view of the great importance of this road,
and the great benefit that it will be to the
people generally, be sufficiently aroused to
insure its speedy completion.
The people of this County have long enough
been penned up among our mountains —
shut in from the rest of the world—and it is
high time that some steps be taken to open
up the way for us to get out, to sce some-
thing of the outside world.
The people of Mifflin county are entering
into this thing with a will, and we do hope
that Centre county will not play the lag-
gard (like the little fellows in harvest we
once heard of) and defeat this great enter-
prise.
* Citizens of Pennsvalley, tarn out and take
stoek sufficient to make this road through
“the mountains, and we feel certain that the
people on this side, although not as much
* ‘interested as you are, will do their duty, and
not I¢t the road stop at the Nittany moun-
tains, for the want of means to complete it.

Messrs. Borrors.—The
time when the
} people of this Congressional District will be
called upon to select some one to represent
them in the next Congress, is fast approach-
ing; and it is certainly the duty of cvery
man who has the welfare of his country at
- heart, to consider well the abilities of the
person for whom he intends to use his influ
ence and cast his vote. Abolitionism, or
- rather Disunionism, has destroyed, we hope
for a short time ouly, the Union of the States
—civil war and heavy taxation are upon us
~—treagon in the North as well as in the
Soutf™ees in the next Congress we most
assuredly need a representative who
has the ability and the will to do whatever
can be done to reunite the States and pre-
serve the Constitution as made by the Fath-
- ers of the Republic and construed by the
proper tribunals.
For representative we would suggest Maj.
Wm. F. Rey~oLps, of Bellefonte, believing
‘him to be able and willing to represent the
people of this District as they should be, and
we earnestly hope the gentleman will be
vominated and elected,

Graxp Hop.—It has not often been our
good fortune to attend a nicer hop than that
which came of at Hughes's Hotel, in Potter's
Bank, on last Friday night. Everybody
seemed to enjoy thumselves hugely, and
certainly a more pleasant party of girls and
boys don’t often get together. The thing
went off very nicely, and for an extempore
affair, was highly creditable to all concerned.
The obliging host and hostess did their best
to please the party, and the supper was got-
ten up in Hughes's best style, which every-
body knows cannot be beaten. Altogether
it was one of the nicest little arrangements
we ‘ever attended, and everybody went home
well pleased with everybody else.
o-
Mayor Kurz, the newly elected head
of our Boro’ Government, has, since his in-
duction into office, made several arrests,
among a certain set of * young Americas ”
who have been in the habit of rowdying
around the streets after nightfall, doing al]
sorts of mischief. This is a move in the
right direction, and one that has long been
needed, and we hope the Mayor will carry
on the good work so favorably begun, until
the spirit of rowdyism so predominant
among our.“ fast boys,” has received a les
son it will not soon forget.

177" Here is a problem which is not quite
ag simple as it looks: * Suppose I sell my
watch for fifty dollars, buy it back for forty
dollars, and sell it again for forty-five dol~
lars, how much do I make 2” It looks as
though this fortunate trader made fifteen
dollars by these transactions. In reality, he
only makes five. At the end of the first
trade, he has fifty dollars ; at the end of the
second , he has a walch and ten dollars ; at
the end of the third, he has ten dollars and
forty~five dcllars, which is five dollars more
re he had at first.

Weep not for me, my husband dear,
1 am not dead but sleeping here,
Prepare for death before you die,
And come and sleep along with I.
Dearest, sweetest, lovliest wifo,

A Proclamation by the President.
WasniNeron, May I9.
Waereas, There appears in the public
prints what purports to be a proclamation
of Major General Hunter, in the words and
figures following, to wit :
* HEADQUARTERS DEPARTMENT OF SOUTH, |
Hicrox Heap, 8S. C., May 9, 1862, §
‘ GENERAL OrDERs, No. 11,—The three
States of Georgia, Florida and South Caroli-
na, comprising the Military Department of
the South, having deliberately declared
themselves no longer under the protection
of the United States of America, and having
taken up arms against the said United
States, it became a military necessity to de-
clare them under martial law. This was
accordingly done on the 25th of April, 1862.
Slavery and martial law in a free country
are altogether incompatible. The persons in
these three States, Georgia, Florida and
South Carolina, heretofore held as slaves
are therefore declared forever free.
0%} ¢ DAVID HUNTER
Major General Commanding,
Ed. W. Smith, Acting Assistant General,
And whereas, The same is producing some
excitement and misunderstanding ; There-
fore,
I, ABraHAM LINCOLN, President of the
United States, proclaim and declare that
the Government of the United States had no
knowledge, information or belief of an in-
tention on the part of Gen. Hunter, to iss ue
such a proclamation, nor has it yet any
authentic information that, the document is
genuine ; and further, that neither Gen.
Hunter nor any other commander or person
has been authorized by the Government of
the United States to make a proclamation
declaring the slaves of any State free, and
that the supposed proclamation now in gues-
tion, whether genuine or false, is altogether
void so far as respects such declaration.
I farther make known, that whether it be
competent for me as Commander-in-Chief of
the Army and Navy to declare the s'aves of
any State or States free, at any time, in any
case, it shall have become a necessity indis-
pensable to the maintenance of the Govern -
ment to exercise such supposad power are
questions, which, under my responsibility, I
reserve for myself, and which I cannot feel
justified in leaving to the decision of com
manders in the field. These are totally
different questions from those of police reg-
ulations in armies and camps.
On the 6th day of March last, by a special
message. I recommend to Congress the adop
tion of a joint resolution to be substantially
as follows :
Resolved, That the United States ought to
*0-operate with any Sta‘e which may adopt
a gradual abolition of slavery —giving
to such State pecuniary aid, tobe used by
such State 1a its discretion, to compensate
for the inconveniences, public and private,
produced by such change of system.
The resolution in the language above quo
ted, was adopted by a large majority in bot:
branches of Congress, and now stands an
authentic, definite and solemn proposal of |
the Nation to the States and people most im
mediately terested in the subject matter,
To the people of those States I now carn-
estly appeal. Ido not argue. I bescech
you to make the argument for yourselves. —
You cannot, if you would be blind to the
signs of the times. I beg of you a calm and
enlarged eonsideration of them —ranging, if
it may be far above personal and partizan
politics. This proposal makes common
cause for a common vbject—casting no re-
proaches upon any. I'act not the pharisee,
The change it contemplates would come
gently as the dues of Heaven, not rending or
wrecking anything. Will you not embrace
it? So much good has not been done by
one effort in all past time as in the provis
dence of God it is now your high privilege
to do. May the vast future not have to la-
ment that you have neglected it.
In witness whereof I have hereunto set my
hand, and caused the seal of the United
States to be affixed. Done at the city of
Washington this nineteenth day of May,
in the year of our Lord, one thousand
eight hundred and sixty-two, and of the
independence of the United States the
cighty sixth.

NEw York, May 18.
Letters from Port Royal, by the steamer
Atlantic, report that the occasion of the ne-
gro pilot Small, who ran away from Char-
leston with the rebel tug boat, is deemed
important that the heavy guns she contained
as Small is thoroughly acquainted with all
the intricacies of the navigation in that re-
gion.
Gen. Hunters proclamation had been pub-
lished in Charleston, and a negro insurrec-
tion there was imminent. Vast preparations
arc making to bombard Savannah. Our
gunboats have proceceded up the river, and
our pickets are within four miles of Savan.
nan. Massive batteries, mounting Parrott
guns, have been erccted all around the
city,
Our troops have a portion of the railroad
between Charleston and Savannah in their
possession. .
A negro regiment is being organized by
Gen. Hunter, its officers being selected from
the Massachusetts regiment, and the move-
Tent meets with favor as they will be able
to perform duties which will relieve our
troops.

To Hon. E. M. Stanton, Secretary of War :
A combined naval and army expedition,
under Captain Murray, U. S. N,, with troops
and artillery under Major Willard and Capt.
Ayers, of the army, went some twenty-five
miles up the Paumunky to-day, and forced
the rebels to destroy two steamers and some
twenty schooners. The expedition was ad-

The following dispatch has been received
at the War Deprrtment :
WiLLiamssurG, May 17.
To the Hon. Edwin M. Stanton, Secretary
of War.—The gunboais .Galena, Monitor,
Arostook, Naugatuck, and Port Royal were
repulsed from Fort Darling, seven miles be-
law Richmond, yesterday. A portion of
them have returned to Jamestown island,
near this place, in the James river. Lieut.
Morris, commanding the Port Royal, sent
overland to us this morning for intelligence
regarding the forts below the island, and
also to assist in burying the dead which he
brought down with him. Seventeen bodies
have been interred on the banks of the riv~
er, and there are more wounded on board,
including Lieut, Morris himself. The 100
pound gun of the Naugatuck exploded at the
first fire.
(Signed) Davip CAMPBELL,
Colonel of the Fifth Cavalry,
By authority of Gen. G. B. McClellan.
Repulse of the Iron Clad Gunboats—Further
particulars.
No official report of the gunboat aftair on
the James river has been received at the
Navy Department. The mesages on the
subject indicate an opportunity to do better
in the future. The river is now clear of
obstructions to within eight miles of Rich-
mond,
At that pomt there is a heavy battery
mounted on a high bluffand the river is
temporarily closed to navigation by sunken
vessels, among which is said to be the re.
bel steamers Yorktown and Jawestown, and
by piles, chains, &. The Monitor could not
elevate her guns sufficiently to reach the
high battery, which rendered her useless. —
The banks of the river were filled with rifle
pits, from which an incessant fire was pour
ed upon the fleet, a part of which were en-
gaged at from 900 to 1,000 yards from tha
main battery,
“After an engagement of five hours the
fleet finding it impossible, under the circum-
stances to silence the battery on the bluff,
withdrew out of range. Our loss was thir-
teen killed and eleven wounded, among the
latter Licutenant Morris, in the leg by a
minnie ball, but not seriously.
It is expected that full particulars will
be received in the morning.
—
J771t is said that Ger. M'Clellan, in an
ticipation of the rebels’ retreat from their
Yorktownintrenchments, wanted M'Dowell’s
division to be sent to Gloucester Point and
to cross the York river to Williamsburg to
intercept their flight, but his wishes were not
complied with If they had been, the whole
rebel army would have been captured.

When withered fruit drops from the tree,
Or faded roses fall,
Tis but the course of the decree
Pronounced at first on all.
But beauteous blossoms scarce in Hower,
If rudely snatched they be.
The quivering branches tell the power,
That bound them to the tree.
Such was our loved ones stilled in death,
And kindred hearts are wrung :
But God doth grasp escaping breath
Of innocence so young.
Bereaved we weep, but tears are balm
To hearts so sorely riven ;
Oh! may this truth our anguish calin

The Monitor and Merrimac.
BY THE CLOTHING EMPORIUM.
A ship e~ntrolled
Jy rebels bold —
The Merrimac by name —
y Came out to meet
The Yankee fleet,
Unchecked by foar or shame.
Her iron sides
The balls defied
Which at her ribo did knock
They would rebound
With rattling sound.
Like brickbats from a rock
But to attack
The Merrimac
The Monitor came out ; -
The hard shells too
In minutes few
The rebels did rout.
Thus ships are best
Iniron dressed ;
But men who broadeioth wear
Should make a call
At A. Sternberg & Co's Hall,
To view one of the largest
Spring stocks there,
Ever brought to this town. It will be sold at
Wholesale and Retail, from thirty to forty per
cent cheaper than any other house can sell it. —
Suits made to order ; then we are direetly connec
ted witha City Clothing Manufactory, and able
to give the bargains we promise.
