The Copperheads, as a general thing, made more of an effort than the We have not learned the result in half the Wiunty.

BOUNTY LAND. —The House Committee, to whom the subject of an equalization of Boun ties was referred in Congress, has reported a bill granting Bounty lands to soldiers. The bill proposes to give GOO acres of land lor the greatest length of service and graduating the amount down to those who were in the Uni ted States Service for three months. The Committee are unanimous in favor of the passage of the Bill. The General Fish bill passed the House some weeks ago by a decisive vote, whether it has passed the Senate we are una ble to say. If it has not it will. It is a ques tion after the bill becomes a Law whether the different companies obstructing the streams will quietly obey its provisions. It is thought by many that their vested rights can not be taken from them in which opinion we concur. However we hope some compromise will be effected, that will remove all obstocles to the speedy opening of all the tributaries in the Susquehanna. RARE GAME. —On the 20th inst our friend Wood Alsip and Win. Hartzell killed two fine white swani in the vicinity, of the town the one measuring 7 feet 2 inches from tip to tip of the wings and the other 7 fee : 5 inches, fhey had come dome into the river during the foggy weather att ending the equinoctial storm. We giuce learn that five others have been captured by various parties along the river. Some days ago E. M. Alsip, Esq., killed five wild geese within a few miles of the town. Such extensive captures of these rare birds have not occnred for a long time in this neighborhood. THE LAST DAYS OF WIXTEK. —The weather has been playing some queer pranks during the past week. From mild and spring-like on Thursday it suddenly changed to cold and stormy, and Friday and Saturday would hare done credit to the stormiest days of mid-win ter. Sunday was cold, Monday we had snow enough to bring out a few sleighs and sleds, Tuesday we had cold rain, and thanks to our borough regulations, a delightful slush of two or three inches of snow, mud and water. On Tuesday night mid a war of elements —rain, hail, rolling thunder and vivid lightning Old Winter passed away. Yale llieme ! Though grateful for the many happy hours thou hast xfibided to old and young, in the social circle, following the swift steed and merry bells o'er white expanse of snow, or gliding smoothly o'er the glassy bosom of the blue Juniata, still we bid thee farewell without a tear and gladly turn to greet thy smiling neighbor, Spring.

SOUTHERN PENNSYLVANIA AND CONNILLS VILLE RAlLßOAD.—Theborder counties, through which this road is expected to pass, have been fully aroused within the last week in relation to the contemplated extension of the time for t the construction of this great improvement. | Up to the present writing we have not heard the fate of the bill before the Senate alluded j to by us in our last. Its friends have mani festly not pushed it, whether they cannot count a sufficient number ot votes to pass it, we can not say. but. it strikes us that this cannot be the reason. We have seen so much wild leg islation in favor of the Central Railroad that we cannot for a moment hesitate to accord them a majority sufficient to pass any thing they may demand. If the Central Railroad insists upon a continuation of the selfish poli cy which has characterised it for the last five years ,it will find the people rising in their might and placing their emphatic condemna tion upon such burdensome and selfish mon opoiis. If the question of a Free Railway Sys tem were submitted to the people of this Rep resentative district, there would not be a corporal's guard against the proposition out side of those in the employ of the railroad. And the conduct of the Central Company is rapidly driving the people to this last alterna tive and when the masses once move, woe unto him who stands in the way of the sovereigns. The people in this county, and all along the contemplated line of the road, should hold meetings without delay and express them selves upon the subject, and forward their ac tion to the Senate, if not in time for the ac tion of that body, in time at least to make an impression on the Governor and induce him to withhold his signature and return the bill to the House, where it originated, with his objections. Let us realize now that if we allow the Central Company to pass this bill and the bill to become a law, that we are tied up for the next ten years, 'h;:t the mil lions of money, which would be expended in the construction and the stocking of the road, will not be expended, that the benefit which would be diffused to every individual by the expenditures of so much money on the line, will not be experienced: that property which would be enhanced in value beyond conjec ture will not be advanced but recede; that our mineral resources will not be developed; that the villages and towns which always fol low railways, will not be built, and conse quently the value of the products of the farm an d the dairy will not be in demand, that all the advantages of a heavy population will not be reaped, and the railway, which all somuch desire, will not be built. Then in the name of Justice, let our people act. Overwhelm our Representatives and Senators at the cap itol with your letters and petitions. Recollect that millions are at stake. Remember that ''There is a tide in the affairs of men, Which, taken at the flood, leads on to for tune, Omitted, aU the voyage of their life Is bound in shallows and in miseries.''.

THE LADY'S FRIEND FOR APRIL. —In the steel plate for this number, "Waking," we find the usual superiority maintained by this magazine, for exquisite naturalness and high artistic finish. It is a sweet heart-picture of waking endearments between mother and child; the clear sunrise streaming through the broidering vines about the lattice and lighting up the scene —morning light and morning life, both pure, both fragrant with the breath of heaven. The fashion plate is as uusurpassed. We sometimes wonder how it is that the publishers invariably secure this point. Even when the same artists have been at work there seems to be an unconscious favoritism that reserves for The Lady's Friend their best efforts and most signal suc cesses. Very appropriately in this April number the children, spring buds of men and women, have it all to themselves, and an un commonly pretty, graceful group they make. The wood cut illustrating "The Forsaken Wife" is full of tragic pathos; a wintersscente t dreary and desolate as the heart of the suf ferer.

THE COPPERHEADS DEMANDING TO KNOW WHAT THEY MAY EXPECT FROM THE PRESI DENT. —The New York Tribune of yesterday says it hears from a trustworthy source that the Democrats are not so sanguine as a few days since that the President is to put him self at the head of their party. It is even whispered that they demand an explicit dec laration of what they may expect before they proceed further with assurances of their dis tinguished consideration. Possibly they may be helped to an understanding of the situation by the ad vice to the Pennsylvania Ciymer de putation, "to go honie and change their tick et,'' and that they had made a fatal mistake. That sort of Democracy, at any rate, does not seem to find favor in the President's eyes. Ex-rebel mayors in southern cities, and se cesh governors in northern States are evi dently not to his liking.— Harrisburg Tele graph. Texas Correspondence. BECMONT, Texas, Feb. 28, 1866. Messrs Editors—l have arrived at my des tination and established my head quarters. I had some difficulty in getting here, owing to recent heavy rains. In fact, I was from the 17th to the 28d inst. in getting from Houston, a distance cf only 80 miles. The difficulty of repairing the road was not so great* On one of our northern roads all the damage would have been repaired in six hours, but where there is such lethargy as among this people, the traveling public will be thus inconvenien ced. There is no enterprise among them of any kind, now that their trade of Negro-breed ing has ceased. I am still of the opinion that the citizens (white) of this State, bear us or the Union no love, and that should there be any chance of a successful revolt they would go heartily into it. There is not a day but we are insulted by their making such re marks as ;that ''we are not whipped," "we wont patronize the North," "we have no sympathy with the d —d Yankee Abolition Government." These, and in some cases, worse remarks are indulged in. Here let me give you a little anecdote, happening me while at Liberty, midway between this and Houston. Owing to a break' in the Railroad, four miles from the former place, the con ductor informed us "of his inability to go on, but that all the passengers that desired could do so on the hand-car" —there not being more than a dozen. Among the number was a very interesting young widow traveling along, and as we had to walk a fourth of a mile or more, I, of coarse, offered to relieve her of a traveling bag, which she was very willing to trust in my charge. Arriving at the hotel we called for supper, after which the Land lord busied himself (being much crowded) in making his guests as comfortable as possi ble. On his distribution of quarters I was astonished at being booked for the same room as my travelling companion, at which (being exceedingly bashful) 1 demurred, when I was informed that "great effort had been made to do the best possible forme." Other quarters were provided, and the next day in conversation with my companion, she gave me her conversation with the landlady, who was anxious to know our status. "Are you not," she asked, "the wife of the Capt?" "Oh, no!" said my companion. "How then does it come that you travel together and seem such good friends?" My companion replied. "I am a resident and widow of Beu mont, having lost my husband in the rebel service; I was travelling alone, and do not know what I should have done, but for the kindness of the Captain, as I have already been four days on the road, and have been quite sick. lam sure I should not have been able to get home, but for his services." "I am surprised and shocked," said the land lady, "that any Southern lady would degrade herself so much, under any circumstances, as to accept the services of a Yankee officer, that for myself, I would sooner accept the services of a big buck nigger." This is per fectly true, and I don't doubt it, neither would I envy the happy darky his good Jor tune. This is the greatest place for widows 1 ever wa3 in; there being not less than 35 (white) out of a population of less than 600, to say nothing of perhaps and equal number of colored. I know ot no place where the marriage obligation is so little respected as bere. I was informed by Mr. Armstrong (a former lawyer, but who now, that he has only 75,000 acres of land, has gone to farming,) that before the war he knew of as many as 45 petitions on the docket for divorce at one time. Also, that all that was necessary to secure a divorce was a petition by each party: that it could be obtained without further trouble. As to the "Freedmen," I find them much better contented, and by far more industrious than I expected. The Houston Telegraph (a paper purely Southern) quotes from 1!) other Texas papers, 18 of which acknowledge that "the Freedmen, do much better than was expected, by the most credulous of their friends." On my arrival here, I was in: '.ructed by Gee. Gregory to make an effort to raise a school for colored children, which I did, and at a mere suggestion on Sabbath last, af ter church, no less than 83 scholars were subscribed in less than 15 minutes. Teachers can be had in abundance from the North. The matter meets with no favor here, and some have even gone so far as to threaten any and all persons, interested in the matter. No danger of that! "Barking dogs don't bite." As for ignorance, I never saw a lo cality equal to this. Of the young ladies that I have met, none can more than read, and I have been assured that not more than two families have ever sent their daughters away to school, from this neighborhood. On my arrival here, I found our friends, the Methodists, at work, striving to awaken an interest, for good, among the people, (and they need it,) as I heard the minister say, from the pulpit, on last night, that "he had made particular inquiry of the oldest citizens of the place, and that he had failed to learn that there had been a single conversion in the town of Beumont for the space of twenty-five years." It is to hoped that an inroad has been made into "Satan's kingdom," as the same night, the door of the church was open ed, and one member admitted, whom the minister exhorted, that "it would be difficult to walk aright, now that he was the onlyyoung Christian in the place." These, Messrs. Editors, are our Southern brethren, who so long lorded it over us "mud sills." Another thing I must not omit: that there is but one laboring young man in the place, and he has not a friend among the res t, wbv, I do not know, unless that he is a "greasy mechanic." Their young men have certain peculiarities, such as wearing their old gray uniforms, (which are very small and dirty,) wear very long hair, loaf around the saloons, gamble on a small scale, get drnnk, "damn the Yankees and Aboli lioners" a good deal, ditto "Niggers" and a great many other qualifications, so that our boys have given them the sobriquet of "be Jesus fellows," (their favorite oath.) I ne glected to say that many of the women chew tobacco, also sweet gum, similar to that which oozes from the pine tree. This seems the favorite amusement of the girls in church. In fact, I have seen them eat sweet-meats during services, without endeavoring to hide it in the least, and that too, the very pretti est and best dressed of the number. Hoops are almost entirely unknown, and as the best have little clothing they present a strong con trast when compared with our northern girls. I called upon a widow to-day to secure board for my expected school marms, and was very cooly informed that"/ and them, might be better employed, that "she would have nothing to do with such people, that they t cerrent decent," etc. I informed he 1 - that I did nottbink, itnecensary for laboring people to be as she represented, that it was no disgrace to labor, but I failed to comnce her. Yet she was a widow (made so by the war) with two children without any risible means (other than the needle) of suppoft and dependent on the U. S. soldiers staioned here. Her room was little more than t barn —not a particle of carpeting, the wall: pine boards, no paint any where, two little sands, no stove and tour rude chairs, complete! this good ladies luxurious comfort, who jould sneer at northern "servant girls" and "sshool marms." I will here say for the benefit of the jtrang "sprigs of the law" that there is no letter place than this. The health is good, anl not a single lawyer worthy the name in the oun ty and scarcely in my whole district, vhich embraces the seven counties adjacent. The cm prospect is represented as good. I have not visited the springs as yet. Will <o so as soon as possible and give you the particu lars. Yours, P. H. GODY'S LADY'S BOOK. —Thissuberb article for April has reached us.

A Poor House whether it is to be brick or not. and not only th : s, but in consequence of the filthy condition which the house always seems to be in. is a very excellent source for Epidemics which would spread with great rapidity over this entire community.

The Grand Jury at February Terra, 1866, Res pectfully submits the following Report of the Jail of the County aforesaid as follows : The Locks and Keys in our opinion arc insuffi cient for the safb keeping of Prisoners. The Rooms also appear to be detrimental to the health of the prisoners on account of the exist ence ot an offensive smell, insufficient, and dirty Bed clothing, and torn chaff ticks. The Rear wall of the Jail Building on the out sido is being much injured in consequence of the bad condition of the spouting, the wall receiving water from the roof, rendering it measurably easy for prisoners breaking through and effecting their escape.
