W. H. WATSON, • Meyers, Sec jr. President MORRISON'S COVE RAILWAY.— Great excite- | inent exists in Middle and South Woodberry I and along the line of a projected Branch rail road from Newry, via Three Forges, Martha, Rodman and Bloomfield Furnaces and Wood— berry to Pattonsville. A meeting has been called at Woodberry, on Wednesday the 10th ; inst., for the purpose of consultation and tak ing immediate steps to procure a charter. At the present stage of the fever every dollar necessary to grade the road should be sub scribed within a fortnight, and this is all the money that is required, as the Pennsylvania Central, we are informed, have a standing offer to all branch projects, in which they stipulate to put on the super-structure after the grading is once completed. Persons fa miliar with the route, are confident that the road could be graded from Pattonsville to Dix's School House, in Taylor township. Blair county, for the same amount of money that was expended in building the Pattons ville and Woodberry Turnpike. Ihe heavy part of it would be from Newry to Bare's Mills, a distance of three or tour miles, a portion, which is demanded by the hundreds of thousands invested in the iron business along the stream which this project must ne cessarily follow. The various important points of interest, which would be brought into rail communication with the outer world, would be Martha Furnace, Martha Forge, Three Maria Forges, Bare & Co.'s Paper Mill, Bare's Mills, Bloomfield Fur nace. Woodberry and Pattonsville. It would pass immediately through the great hematite ore banks of Bloomfield and Sarah Furnaces, where the ore has been procured out of which the celebrated Union and Rodman guue have been manufactured, St in fact a great part of the heavy ordnance manufactured for the- sup pression of the late rebellion. The great Cove alone ought to be able to support a railroad without any of the above improvements. No section of Pennsylvania yields, in proportion, more produce than this section. \V heat, Rye, Oats and Corn are the principal productions, and yield very heavily. Millions of bushels of these grains, and hun dreds of thousands of barrels of flour, are shipped annually to Hollidayshurg,a distance varying frotri eight to twenty-one miles, while railroad facilities would double, and in many instances, treble the produce. A dozen of the largest and best flouring mills in the State would" be reached directly, and their flour poured into market, with half the expense of the old, slow, drag, wagon system that is now employed to carry their manufacture to a place of shipment. To the agricultural resources of this section are to be added the value of the great beds of lime-stone to be found along the entire line of the road, which for build ng purposes and lime cannot be excel td any where, and latterly, we have the grat ifying intelligence of the discovery of a five foot vein of coal, within two and a halt miles of Woodberry, on the farm of David Boyera. This establishes the fact beyond cavil that their is coal in the mountains hounding this fertile region, and that in a short time new discoveries will be made. With such resour ces, and the substantial wealth of the Cove> why should this railway not he built? Na ture has done more lor the route than she generalj.y,.yjosiuSft 1 yWfpbJv SBRi he greatly enhanced by it. if every individ ual will subscribe half the amount that his property will be increased in value by the construction of the road, it will he built to a certainty. And if it should he built it will not he long until it will be extended to cou nect with our own road, and relieve us from the disagreeable necessity of scaling the mountain, on a miserable apology for a road, between this point and Pattonsville: in the meantime, it is quite probable, that all travel between this place and Hollidaysburg would connect from the Bedford road with the Mor rison's Cove railroad at Pattonsville, a dis tance often miles by coach, and avoid a mo notonous ride of 30 miles directly through by stage. Let the project be pushed as it de serves to he pushed, and Morrison's Cove, staid old Morrison's Cove, will yet seethe day when the iron horse will traverse her limits in the majesty of his strength, carrying from her garners her material wealth, and in re turn pouring into her lap all the advantages of rail communication with the world at large. ' DISCOVKRY OK GOI.D IN SCHELLSBUKO. —Our esteemed correspondent "Ve ritas" sends us the following: "Reader, don't stare, nor, after a momen tary reflection, anticipate me by exclaiming, —"Yes, in some drawer or safe!" for such ig not the fact (although, perhaps , the precious metal might he found in some such deposito ry in the town) but "Yellow, precious shining gold" has been discovered in the bowels of—of— not the earth, but in the bowels--no, the giz zard of a duck. "But let me explain. A friend of mine, at whose house I happened to be at the time the "quack" was slaughtered, called my attention to the fact, his wife having made the discov ery a few minutes previously. "Ten or a dozen of pieces of pure gold (for we tested theni with acid) were found imbedded in the gizzard. They were of va rious sizes and shapes, but one pieee particu larly, more than the others attracted atten tion. It was solid, perfectly circular, about the size of a small shirt button, and convex on both sides, having a glittering appearance. It seemed to us. and no doubt it was the case, that these pieces of gold had been detained \ in the organ of the duck for a long pe- ! riod and through the friction of sand and other gritty particles had obtained their shape j and polish. •'Now that this duck, like bipeds of a high er grade, had a propensity for gold is unques tionable, but how this gold was obtained is the mystery, and the question I would like to have solved. It is certain that no one would be so prodigal or silly us to feed his ducks on gold, nor yet is it probable that the aforesaid duck had the cunning to get possession of the pieces, as some of his more intelligent rivals who walk on two legs do, by burglary. "Everybody lias heard of the goose that laid a golden egg every day, and whose ava | vicious master, not content with the yield, killed her in order to get all at once, and got nothing. But here the ease is reversed; the dock was killed and the gold found- not ex actly golden eggs, but gold. New here is the paradox—were these pieces trinkets or coin? If so. how did the duck get them, and have ducks generally this inorbid"thirstfor lucre?" Or bad this aquatic drake, different from the baliuce ol his species, a monomania on the. subject ? '"lt any one doubts the facts as here narra ted. the gold can be produced, with "good and sutbuieui vouchers. UNION COUNTY COMMITTEE MEETING. — Pursuant to a public call, the members of the County Committee met at the Washing ton Hotel, in Bedford, Thursday Dee. 28th, ult. All the townships but two were repre sented. The best of feeling prevailed and measures were taken looking to an active campaign during the coming year. The Gu bernatorial question was the all absorbing top ic, and, after a free interchange of opinion, the following resolutions were Sdopted. WHEREAS two of our fellow citizens in the County of Bedford, have been named in con nection with the Union Party for the nomi nation of Governor, and in order to give to the choice of the County the undivided sup port of the party in the County, and as the safest and surest plan to accomplish this re sult, and to prevent any division or dissatis faction among Union men, is to adherestiict ly to the usages of the party, and to submit cheerfully to the decisions of the regularly constituted organizations of the party, and, WHEREAS, this Committee has no right, nor power, nor is it deemed expedient, to de part from the long and well settled practice of the party in this County. Therefore RESOLVED, That the Union voters of Bed ford County be requested to meet at the usual places of holding their elections in their res pective districts, on IRIDAY THE 12TH, DAY OF JANUARY', A. D. 18(56, between the hours of TEN O'CLOCK, A. M., and FOUR O'- CLOCK, P. M., of said day, then and there to e lecttwo persons as delegetes, to represent each of said election districts in a County Convention, which shall assemble at the COURT HOUSE, in Bedford, on WEDNES DAY, JANUARY 17TH, A. D. 18(56. at ONE O'CLOCK, P. M., for the purpose of declar ing the choice of Bedford County for Gover nor aud for electing a delegate to the next State Convention, (or appointing Senatorial and Legislative eonferees as the Convention may determine. RESOLVED, That the duly appointed vig ilance Committees, of the several elective districts in the County, be authorized and required to give notice by written or printed hand-bills of the time and place of holding such elections and that they be authorized to hold said elections, and certify the result thereof to the Chairman of the Union Coun ty Committee. RESOLVED, That it is the duty of every member of this Committee, of DOtb the can didates, and of all their respective friends to acquiesce cheerfully in the. \ lan thus adop ted, by the regular organization of the party for the settlement of this question. RESOLVED, That when the choice of the County shall have been ascertained by the Convention, it shall be the duty of the oth er candidate, and of his friends, to support cordially the choice ol the County, as it is more important that the choice of the Coun ty should succeed, and that harmony and party fraternization should prevail and be preserved in the Union ranks than that the friends of either individual should be grati fied. RESOLVED, That the Secretary of this Committee be requested to communicate this action immediately to both of the Can didates, and to report to the Committee the result of his interview with each of them. On adoption of the first resolution Mr. Aschotn called for the ayes and nayu, with the following result. AYES, J. R. Durborrow, M. A. Points, Thos. Hughes, John A. Gump, C. F. Het zel, F. A. Growden, Jas. Mullin, Jo9eph Dull, E. A. Fockler, G. S. Mullin, Asa S. StuckeyG. W. Yickroy, A. H. Hull, J. Mentzer. NAYS, C. W. Asehoui, J. W. Smith, J. W. Sams, W. W. Sparks, John E. Colvin. The following letters were then received from the candidates, tord County: " ' " " GENTLEMEN; I have received and read the pro ceedings of your Committee had to-day. 1 would have been willing to adopt any plan whieh has been suggested trom any quarter, aud entirely willing to submit to any decision your Committee might have seen fit to sug gest for the settlement of the question now before the Union voters of the county. It gives me great pleasure therefore, to as sure you that l cordially endorse your action in all respects and trust that all the friends of the Union cause in the county will do so too. Your plan is certainly fair to all parties in terested. It embodies the justice of a popu lar vote and has the further advantage ot a large and unbroken usage in its favor. I certainly shall not, and 1 trust that no friend of mine, will be found who will, oppose or complain of this or any other action of the regular organization of the party. Union and harmony are absolutely indis pensable to success and these must he pre served at all hazards. Very Respectfully yours, &c. JOHN CESSNA. Bedford, Dec. 28th, 1865. To the Union County Committee of Bed ford County: Your action this day has been submitted to me by your Seretary, but no copy left with me and yet a reply desired. I regard it as un expected, and unaccountable in the rejection of the two plans agreed upon by Mr. Cessna and myself in writing; and the adoption of one which had been submitted by him. and rejected by me; and thus subjecting me to a plan in which a minority of one party may give a majority of the delegates. I think I had a right to expect the adoption of the one or the other of the plans agreed upon in a committee composed so largely of friends. But my desire for the harmony of our party and respect for your Committee, leave me no other honorable course than to acquiesce in your action: and take my chances in the can vass you propose. Most Respectfully your ob't. serv't. FR. JORDAN. On motion of Mr. -Aschom the Committee adjourned. J. R. DUIIBORROW, M. A. POINTS, Sec y. Chairman.

Riffle the following resolutions were read and unanimously adopted : WHEREAS, We have been informed of the death of our late comrade, JERRY BROWS. | the intelligence of which has created feelings ] of the deepest regret and most profund sorrow ! amongst us, and \\ HER HAS. We have met together to express | our feelings as individual friends and thus I mark our associate action with that unanimity which comes from the heart and voice of all. To know that he is no longer living aud that hereafter he will be no longer amongst us, leaves us, his late associates, sad and sorrowing.

Resolved, That we tender our sympathies to his family in their deep affliction and be reavement. Resolved, That a copv of these proceedings be published in the Bedford papers. A NEW RAILROAD PROJECT—THE BEDFORD ROUTE THE BEST UNOCCUPIED RAILROAD GROUND IN PENNSYLVANIA AT THIS DAY.— We find the following communication and ed itorial remarks, in a late number of the U. S. Railroad and Mining Register, published in Philadelphia : ''Your acquaintance with the curreut rail road projects of the day, and especially your frequent favorable notices of Harrisburg as an iron works centre, prompt me to put be fore your readers a project for an iron and coal railroad which, on its completion, would command a mineral traffic of a million of tons the first year, to begin with. "Starting from a point on the Lebanon Valley Railroad,and passing on the south side of Harrisburg to an eligible site for a railroad bridge across the Susquehanna; thence up the Yellow Breeches creek, through and near a series of iron ore deposits opened at intervals along the foot of the South Mountain; thence across the route of the Cumberland Valley Railroad in the vicinage of Shippensburg; thence west to the Huntingdon and Broad Top Railroad, on the waters of Blooiy Run; and thence on, via Bedford, to a connection with the Pittsburg and Connellsville Railroad ! on Wills creek, twelve miles from Cumber land- "With this road built, the Broad Top coal region would mine and forward to market a half million tons of coal and more, per year whilst large quantities of Somerset coal would be received on the new road, at its \Y ills creek connection with the Pittsburg and Counells ville Railroad. "I know very well that it is contemplated to connect the South Pennsylvania Railroad with the Cumberland Valley Railroad, via Loudon; but 1 know, too, that the road which lam foreshadowing, as an elongation, so to speak, of the Lebanon Valley Railroad, could command the Broad Top coal tonnage and reciprocate inter trade with the Pittsburg and Connellsville Railroad. "And if it be offset against my proposition ihat there has long been in use a railroad in the Cumberland Valley, I answer, very true, but it is in tire basin of the Conedegwinnet, some miles north of Yellow Breeches creek, which latter flows east along the south side of the valley, where the iron ores outcrop, and whence a new tonnage would be supplied to Harrisburg, and its vicinity, as an absorbing ore market. "Besides, it is no novelty to see two roads in the same valley, as witness the Susquehan na the Schuylkill and the Lehigh valleys. The two great carriers that reach Harrisburg from Philadelphia, one via Reading, the other via Lancaster, should each have an ally and fee der in the Cumberland valley. And as the Lancaster route may be called the line for miscellaneous traffic, so the Reading route is distinguished as a Hue for mineral tonnage. Moreover, the Cumberland Valley Railroad dips down south into Maryland, having one terminus at Hagerstown; whereas the Yellow Breeches route climbs out of the Cumberland valley, and pursues a western course to the foot of the Allegheny Mountain, in Bedford connty. "The Huntingdon and Broad Top ltailroad, 44 miles long, is now open and in operation, from Huntingdon on the Juniata to Mount 111 AQUiliua s. " -* , (J miles fro* RorlfAri; own three branches, (one ot'which Is'nine mi les long,) leading to the coal mines. Over two millions of dollars are invested in the Huntingdon aud Broad Top Railroad, and about twenty five collieries have been opened in the Broad Top coal field; so that, altogeth er , Broad Top is the scene of a vast invest ment in railroad, mining plant and mineral land. ''The Dauphin and Bedford Railroad would enhance the interests in the Broad Top coal field in amount equal to the whole cost of a new road from Harrisburg, via Yellow Breeches creek, to the Huntingdon and Broad Top Railroad. It would save to the Broad Top colliery operators a dollar a tou'iu cost of forwording coal to market, which saving alone would more than pay the interest on the whole cost of the new road; and if we add what it would enhance Broad Top coal lands and Huntingdon and Rroad Top Railroad shares, we see the whole cost of the road rep resented in the increased value imparted to existing investments in the Broad Top district. "So, too, with the iron ore deposits on \ ellow Breeches creek, from which an ore trade that would soon rise into hundreds of thousands of tons per annum; the profits on the ore and on its transportation would jointly make up a sum sufficient to warrant the buil ding of the railroad to the head of Yellow Breeches creek. So you see that, from seve ral standpoints, the enterprise commands the elements that assure successs and profit." Xote by Editor of RegUter.— Our own opinion of this Dauphin and Bedford project may be expressed in few words: "In the first place, it proposes to occupy the best unoccupied railroad ground in Pennsyl vania at this day, provided that it be built all the way through from the Lebanon Valley R. It. to the Pittsburg and Connellsville R. It. or Cumberland: and that it be operated under lease by the Philadelphia and Reading It. R. R. Co., which is in position and in condition to accommodate the Broad Top coal trade, and also the Somerset coal trade; and also to form a combination line to Pittsburg, via Connellsville; and also to form a combination line, via Cumberland, to Wheeling on the Uhio river, and to Parkersburg on the Ohio river. And so the Dauphin and Bedford Railroad would be a division in ashort, direct and eligible route between Southwestern Penn sylvania and West Virginia in the interior, and the two great cities at tidewater. This consideration is of the first significance and importance, and will bear elaboration and enlargement, iu minds open to events in the future. Moreover, it is the isterestof Harrisburgto have an independent railroad which will bring to its furnaces iron ores from the immense deposits of hematite opened along Yellow Breeches creek, and, 4,o its workshops and establishments of all kinds, coals from Broad Top and Somerset. And from the array of advantages, pros pects, facilities and profits embodied in the scheme, ordinary management under u liberal charter from the Legislature, (which Harris burg influence will doubtless procure,) ought to be able to allot the whole work in one con tract, payable in shares and bonds, to one firm of contractors iu command of means to build the roadway entire and intact, river bridge included, from the Lebanon Valley Railroad to the Pittsburg and C'onnellsville Railroad, or to the Baltimore and Ohio Rail road at Cumberland.

PARTICULARS OF THF. DEATH OF CAPT. HARRY N. BAKER. •••From a letter written BY George Lander. Esq., Postmaster at Fayette ville, North Carolina, dated Deceml>er 21st, evening at this office, we glean the following particulars of the death of Capt. Harry N. Baker: Mr. Baker, it appears, after being mustered out of the service of the United States, took up his residence in Fay etteville, and soon after established a line of stage coaches between that and Warsaw, on the Wilmington [and Weldon Railroad. On the tenth day of November last, Capt. Baker, in company with Messrs. Bowes and Xewal, was returning from Warsaw in one of the coaches driven by a negro. When within a bout ten miles of Fayetteville, they met a sol itary horseman, who presented a revolver, ordered the driver to halt, andatonce demand ed of the inmates of the coach the money and portable property in their possession. Mr. Bowes wasfin the act of taking some money from'his vest pocket when the highwayman tired his pistol, the ball striking him on the hand, but glanced off, without inflicting any serious damage. Both Bowes and Newal then threw themselves upon the floor of the coach, a second shot passing over them. The robber next turned his attention to Mr. Baker, and taking deliberate aim fired, the ball en tering his body above the hip. Another shot was fired which entered the back of the head of the driver, who fell into the stage apparent ly dead. Mr. Baker then jumped down upon the pole of the vehicle, gathered up the rains and started the horses at full speed. The robber followed, andfired again, this time, hit ting one of the horses, and inflicting a severe wound. He then road ahead of the stage, apparently for the purpose of reloading his weapon. While so engaged, two gentlemen in a buggy came in sight, when the disciple of Dick Turpin took to the woods, and almost instantly disappeared. None of the party were armed, hence no resistance was made. The negro was left at a house about a mile from the scene of action, where a fresh horse was procured, and the stage arrived in town between six and seven in the evening. Mr. Baker was at once takeu to the resi dence of Alexander McPhail, Esq., where he boarded, and a physician sent for who pro nounced the wound serious, but not necessa rily fatal. The next day after, another physi cian was called, and under their treatment Mr. B. gave signs of rapid recovery. On the 13th, however, a change for the worse took place, and on the morning of the 14th he breathed his last. Captain B. was highly es teemed by all who knew him. Although ev ery effort was made to capture his murderer, the scoundrel escaped and is still at large.--- Pittsburg Chronicle. HAKKISBURG CORRESPONDENCE. HARKISBURG, January 1, 186 S. EDITORS IXQRIREH: The approaching meeting of the Legisla ture has attracted quite a number of stran gers to the city. Beside the members, and the place-hunters (and their name is legion) there is quite an influx of politicians and prominent men. The preliminaries of the organization have been gone through with, .lames R. Kelly of Washington county, and A. W. Benedict of M-.ntingdon principles of the party, by a unanimous vote of the L nion members for speaker and chief clerk. The Democrats will, probably give the empty honor of a nomina tion to Messrs. Nelson and Zeigler. There will be few changes in the subordinate officers of the House. In the Senate, the old speak er aud clerk Messrs.Fleming and Hammersly will be re-chosen. The gubernatorial question is being consid erably agitated. Beside the names of Gen. Moorhead, Hon. W. W. Ketchum and Hon. J. P. Penny, that of your distinguished fel low townsman. Hon. John Cessna, is promi nently mentioned in connection with the next Union nomination. The Legislature will probably adjourn as soon as organized for a week or ten days on account of the abseuce of Gov. Cut tin. When last heard from, his Excellency's health had considerably improved. The members from four districts are here, and have taken rooms at the Lochiel. The snow that fell on Saturday has made sleighing and the people here are enjoying it. In our next we will give the organization of the Senate and House. SPECTATOR. MARRIED. Jn this borough, on Wednesday evening the 27th inst., by the Rev. Henry Brown, Lieut. W. S. SIMMONS, U. S. R.
