Every few days, some otic of our subscri bers drops into our office to order a lot of sale bills for himself or his neighbor prepar atory to moving west. When questioned as t" his motives for going west, the reply is, land is cheaper, opportunities are greater, the people are more enterprising. These people looking westward are always of one or the other of two classes. Young persons who, to use their own language, want to go where the people are wide awake ; or older persons, who lacking enterprize themselves, hope by getting into live communities to be wafted on to fortune on the current of other people's energies. To both classes we would say, look before you leap, think before you move. Be sure that the same labor expen ded, the same energies put forth and the s tmo hardships endured here would not yield you the same return as there. Thousands yi iily leave good farms, comfortable homes and kind friends.in this and other parts of the State, to seek their fortunes in the far west. Many, dissatisfied with their western experi ence, return in a few years to find their former homes occupied by more prudent and thrifty uien. while they themselves are poorer than when they first left the old homestead. Others succeed in their new homes and write glowing letters to old friends and ac quaintances of the tempting prospects of the great west, but if they,wondering at the stolidity that keeps people among the hills of old Pennsylvania, conclude to visit their old home and sec what is wrong, they gen erally find the friends they left behind them, quite as well off as themselves and some times a little better. Distance lends enchant ment to the view in going west as well as in many other things. We would not deter any one from going where he is convinced he can Buoeecd best in his calling whatever it may be. But Pennsylvania has not yet reached the maximum density of population consistent with the highest prosperity. This is the case not only in agricultural and mining pursuits but in the numberless other attending trades and professions. Even Bedford county is capable of sustaining double her present population and giving to all advantages of every kind superior to what the present population now enjoys. We are called slow and old fogy. So we will continue to be while the young and enter prising portion of our population yearly emigrates to the west. It is to the young we must look for enterprize and not to the old. It is the greater preponderance of young men in our Western States that give them their character for tin ift and energy. There is not a farm in Bedford county on which twice as much labor and capital could not be expended with a two or threefold increase of profits. There is not a factory of any kind in the county possessing the requisite power where the machinery and hands employed might not be doubled with profit to the manufacturer,his employes and the community around about him. Energy in one branch of business begets energy in another, so thrift begets thrift. If our young men will stay at home and devote their time, talents, energies and capital to the development of our own resources we will soon cease to be called old fegy. Thk Legislature of Pennsylvania has formally taken its position, with reference to the internal improvements of the State, on the old-fogy, stand-still, stay-at boise platform. A majority of the representa tives of the people have, after great deli^- :^.^f m&mio S has'wdgh rtt nhivy on their minds, to incline them to this opinion and to give it authority in the shape of law. The people of all the West ern part of the State, and no doubt also in other parts, are desirous of having another railroad, and capitalists stand ready to build it, but the Legislature, assembled at llarris burg, after due consideration paid to the subject, lifts up its solemn voice and says in the awful and impressive language of pro hibition, Thou shalt make no more rail roads ! — Pittsburgh Commercial. - I.ETTEK I"now CIMIOEKJLAND V AL LEY. Extraordinary assumption of power—Con fin I between literary officials and citizens— /he aid oj Militia invoked—lmpeachment of the officials contemplated ! EDITORS OF THE INQCIRER : Our usually quiet, orderly and law-abiding people in this narrow valley, have been thrown into a fermentation of excitement* growing out of the assumption of power claimed in behalf of our board of school di rectors, who have been imposed upon and in ducted into serious difficulties by scheming their 1 kl.d' iwpU. tn- in others. The history of this conflict cannot bo given in a brief newspaper article. Suffice it to say, that the grave error committed by the board, was the exercise of legislative pow ers, forgetful of the fact that they are only an executive body, and should simply carry into effect the school laws as furnished by proper authority. Political feeling unfortunately was allowed to exert an undue influence in the selection ot teachers. Instances of partiality and in justice, alas . were but too plainly apparent. One-fourth of the schools in the township thus far during the season, have beeu arbitra rily deprived of teachers, contrary to the de sire of citizens, and the remonstrance of our county Superintendent. The districts thus deprived of schools, it is said nre relieved from taxation for the purpose of paying teach ers. An arrangement unknown to law. The board, without authority from court, legisla ture or citizens has proceeded to re-district the township, change the location of school houses, and reduce their number. The board has also levied what is regarded by many as an oppressive tax (13 mills on the dollar.) for building purposes. Inasmuch as the proce dure involves the odious principles of "taxa tion without representation" and the exercise of governmental''authority without the consent j of the governed." Our eminently democratic | people, have become restive, and evince a a disposition to maintain their civil, social and individual rights. A disposition which cannot fail to challenge the admiration of every enlightened and patriotic American cit izen. It is rumored that eminent legal gen- tlemen, have been consulted to ascertain if the board possesses authority to enforce their dictum by the strong arm of military rule ! It is to be hoped that this incipient rebellion will not assume the gigantic proportions of the famous ''whisky insurrection." The democratic spirit of "Little Burks is thoroughly aroused, and prominent citizens it is said, seriously meditate the "impeach ment'' of the board. The literary gentlemen should certainly be taught that they are the servants of the people not their masters, and are held amenable to their constituents for their official acts. In this struggle the citi zens are the aggrieved, not the aggressors. J U STICK. February 18th, 1867. HVKUISIUKG COR It E Sl' ON HEN CE. Hahrisburg, Feb. 19, 1807. The joiut resolution ratifying the Constitu tional amendment having passed both branch es of the Legislature, has already been signed by Gov. Geary. This act has caused the cop perheads to pour out the vials of their wrath upon His Excellency, and there is a general howling in the Democratic camp. Fhis was not unlooked for. It has become a promi nent duty for the Copperheads to become n dignant whenever anything is done that is in tended to aid in "making treason odious." The Legislative Committees consisting ol three members from each branch, appointed to investigate the truth of the charges ol "corruption" circulated about the time of the late Senatorial election, lias discharged its duties, and made an official report, in which it is stated that "no evidence was produced to implicate any member of the Legislature in the alleged corruption, nor were any of the distinguished persons named in connection with the office of United Slates Senator there in involved." The Legislature has passed a bill instruct ing the comniitte-e on public buildings to in quire into the propriety of enlarging the Gov ernor's residence, and to present an estimate of the cost and plans if found desirable. Th< Executive Mansion is entirely to small anc inconvenient for the uses to which it has beer assigned, and the Legislature should see tlia some improvement is made without delay. The 22nd of February—Washington's birth day—will doubtless be selected as the occa sion upon which to place the table on whicl the Declaration of Itid jpendenee was signed and the celebrated Hancock chair, in the Hal of Independence, Philadelphia. Both thesi venerable relics have for many years oceupicc a place in the Capitol buildings in Ilarrisburg but the present Legislature passed a bill di reefing their removal to Philadelphia, ant henceforth they will form a part of theeollee tion of old-time relies that will in the futuri attract thousands of visitors to the place where American Independence—"Liberty"— was first proclaimed. No more appropriati occasion could have been selected for thei removal than the anniversary of the birth o the Father of His Country—the iinmorta Washington, whose achievements won for u: the independence we have enjoyed for s< many long years. In addition to this, the 22( of February is a holiday, by law, and the Leg islature will not be in session, consequent!} many members, in addition to the Committet to be appointed for that special purpose, cat participate in the exercises incident to plac ing the table and chair among the articles in tended to be handed down to future genera tions, as having performed their part in "thi days that tried men's souls." Last Tuesday the members of the Sen at i and House resumed their dnties, after havinj returned from a most delightful excursion ti Pittsburg, where they visited the Penitentia ry, the House of Refuge, Dixmont Hospital and other institutions that are dependent up on the State for support. The trip was en joyed by all who participated in it, and .' . . , ~ ....giiteu witl institutions named were In" 1 ' , , _ , . . . , . makers ol the Common the visit from "" The Constitutional amendment having beer ratified by both branches of the Legislature is anothei evidence that Pennsylvania is lova to the core. There was a great amount ol speech-making in favor of, and against the amendment—speech-making that will hereaf ter damage and improve the strength of par ties and the prospects of politicians. The Republicans in both branches of the Legisla ture took lofty and comprehensive positions during this debate. Their speeches show that the Republican leaders have marked out a straight line for partizan progress, and that they cannot deviate from it without doing vio lence to their own sense of right, and injus tice to the fairest hopes of the nation. Or. the other hand, the Democratic leaders fairly proved their determination to resist the logic of events. They will neither see or learn, accept or respect, the truth that the power of the national government is destined to become the supreme law of the land —that that power is lodged in the people—that the people dele gate it to their representatives, and that no movement on the part of the Government, no act to promote its prosperity, and no blow to defend its life, can be provided or struck without the sanction of Congress. This is all that this amendment really needs to establish b>l PiVjshitig the trSi^pijjrifid* essayed the ing unfailing guards against a recurrence of the same evil. Let us hope that the amend meut will be ratified speedily by a sufficient number of States to render it effective, not withstanding the opposition to it manifested by the traitors of the South and the copper heads of the North. In the Senate, the other day, Mr. Stutzman presented petitions from citizens of Somerset county, asking for the repeal of the law tax ing money at interest. Also, petitions from citizens of the same county, asking for a free railroad law. Also, a bill entitled an act in relation to the fees of notaries public in the counties of Bed ford and Somerset. The committee on Judi ciary Local, to which this bill was referred, has already reported the same, as committed. The State Treasurer has made an estimate apportioning the WO on personal prop erty among the various counties. He puts iown Bedford county for $1,708.60. Toby. j A SIXTICUIB STORY. —The Willianigport Bulletin tells the following singular story : "One of the curiosities of the season is that 1 of numerous grasshoppers appearing on the; grass where the snow has melted off. Wheth er this phenomenon is general or only confi ned to particular localities, we jre not able to state. Mr. H. S. Morse, who residesoti Cen ter street, caged several and brought them to our office. J hey were as lively as in mid summer. I Lie grass in his yards is filled with these summer visitants. Who. has seen win ter grosshoppers elsewhere ? GENERAL NEWS ITEMS. Ex.-Gov. lit ST, of New Vork, died a few days ago. Geokok W. Ku.euy, the last man living whose father signed the Declaration of Inde pendence, died at Newport last week. THE Long Bridge at Washington was car ried away by the late flood. So the Capital is now short of a bridge. The wife of Daniel K. Sickles, famous or infamous the country throughout a few years since, died in New York city on the Oth. George I'EABODY, the eminent banker, has given the sum of $2,100,000 to be applied to the education of Southern youth, blaek as well as white. STATE Treasurer Kemble advertises for a new State loan, to be devoted to the reduc tion of over-due gold interest bearing State securities. THE remaining portion of the Table Rock at Niagra Falls fell on Tuesday. Fortunate ly, at this season of the year, no one was On it. Miss MARY HARRIS, who shot her seducer, Burroughs, in the treasury building two years ago, has just been admitted to the Insane As sylum, says a Washington special. Two apprentices, who went out for n sail in the small boat of a vessel lying at a Phila delphia pier, were picked up three days after " ward one hundred miles out at sea. A I'ROPOSITION was made in the Missouri i Senate, on Tuesday, to amend the Constitu tion by striking out the word "white" when- I ever it occurs in that instrument. FENIAN CONGRESS.— A great Fenian Con gress will meet at Utica, New York, on the 1 26th inst. It is understood that business of very special importance will bo transacted by that body. MRS. HENRY JOHNSON, late Miss Harriet Lane, has just given birth to a son, who has been christened James Buchanan. Poor lit tle innocent 1 He will have a heavy load to I carry through life. IN Vienna the snow ig removed as fast as it t falls, at an enormous expense. All the men out of work are employed to sweep the streets. Some people would prefer clean streets and despotism to liberty and slush, i A St. Louis German gentleman recently , displayed bis paternal tenderness by dying 1 and leaving one dollar to each of his children > and half a million to his widow. It is pret -1 ty certain that widow was a second wife. , IT has been decided by the Supreme Court of Appeals of Virginia, that a married wo- I man's clothing belongs to her husband. The question whether an unmentionable garment * of a married man's clothing may be proper ! ly worn by the wife, is still undecided. THE librarian of the New York Port Soci : ety has found a sailor who once mined in C'al r ifor iia; and spent twenty-five thousand dol ' lars, bullion, in rum.

There will be a smoking room on deck, plenty of space in the state rooms, four hundred sofas am) two thousand berths. Single fare is one hundred dollars in gold for berths in large rooms. ONI.Y five thousand bales of cotton were raised in Madison county. Alabama, last year but the present season from twelve thousand to fifteen thousand are promised. Strange how those tree niggers will work sometimes. They must do it out of spite—just to prove their former appreciative owners were in the ' habit of neglecting strict regard for truth. ' A MAN advertised lately to forward, on re ceipt of postage stamps, "sound practical ' advice, that wonld be applicable at any time ' and to all -ml conditions of life." .vcetpt of the stnmps, he sent his victim the following : "Never give a boy a penny to watch your shadow while you climb a tree to : look into the middle of next week." The decision of the Court of Claims at Wash- I inglon, in thp case of allowance for servants , to officers of the army from the first of May, 1864, to the third of March, 1866, entitles the officer who served daring that period to four dollars extra for each servant employed being the difference per month between elev en dollars and sixteen dollars, the amount j which should have been paid. FROM MEXICO. NEW ORLEANS. February 11— A corn nondent of the New York 77 ibuut ha arrived from the City of Mexico January 19th. The Liberal advance, was then at San Felipe, and opposition under Quimgo at Derlcs Mcjia is still sick at Qua rota ro. Miramon, with a force not exceeding 3500, was in Guanajato, and it was rumored preparing to attempt the recovery of Sm Luis occupied by one of the Liln-i.il Gi mr als with an equal force, Eseabeiio at the head of as many more, was at Matehuela, m ring to reinforce the Liberal.-. His position seemed sufficiently secure and he was con centrating in ample force for the retiecupa tion of the Capital A Liberal fore- was within 2<N) miles of Mexico. The Capital was in a panic in view of the speedy dissolutio nof the Empire and Im perial forced loan of one million dollars. Alarm was felt at the prospect of the inter reg nuin subject of Marquise, and the French till Juarez could occupy" the city. The French had also been asked to surrender the city to Parflori Diaz. This was not imp.— sible. The papers were publishing a- the expres sed opinion ofßazaine that as the choice of Mexico appeared indisputable for the Re public the the Emperor ought not to re main. The Imperial chief of police was arrested by Bazaino for demanding the release of a | prominent Liberal, who was seized by the ! Government for political reasons. Goods ; detained by the Custom House in Mexico j for Vera Cruz duties already paid to the j French, were released by the French by force ofarins. The ruptur between the Government and its protectors appears complete. The re mainder of the French were expected to leave the capital by the 15th of this month. It was understood by the best informed that the emperor would probably leave before, escorted by the Austrian troops. IT is stated that the coming Sot ing will witness a larger emigration from Northern Europe to this country than has ever before occurred. In view of this fact the legisla tures of several of the northwestern States are discussing propositions looking to some action that shall secure to them some of the benefits of this immigration, in the Indiana legislature a bill has been introduced for the appointment of a Hoard of Emigration, con sisting of five members, for this purpose. In the Minnesota legislature it is proposed to print a hundred thousand copies of a pamphlet in the English, German and .Scan dinavian languages, setting forth the induce ments which that State presents to such emigrants. The Madison (Wisconsin ) Jou- ; na( urges similar action by the legislature of; that State. STATE TEMPERANCKCOPfVENTtON Wo have been requested to give place to the following call for a State Temperance Convention, to be held in Harrirburg on the 26t h inst. In addition to cite names appen ded, the call was signed by a large number of Senators and Representatives, and by hundreds of clergymen and other citizens in various parts of the Sla e: ARM! ARM!

NEW YORK, FebruarjlO.—The World's Wa-hington special says- It is learned from the Republican Congrismen who had a conferetiee last night wilt the President., that the latter seems itiliued to favor the Blaine amendment a- i compromise be tween the Executive an Congress on the reconstruction question, kit with the modi fkation that it shall deiund impartial suit rage from tlie South iiplace of universal Suffrage.

According to the offital census of Ala buna. taken last year tys the New York the population of hat State is about eight! it thousand less,ban it was in 1860. From the time Alabatu was admitted into the Union, in 1819, upo 1-60, the popula tion had been steadily iereasing at the rate of about five per cent pr annum, at which rate there would havekcen now 3,200,000 inhabitants, instead <" which the census show- only <M5,000. lie total loss to Ala bama, according to t,e above figures, is about a quarter of a tillion—the present population being so inuli less than it would have been had not thdwar interrupted its growth Supposing a the Southern State to have been subjectcdto the same depopu lating influences, the aggregate loss of popu lation would amountnover two millions; and r iii- estimate is at her probably under tic- mark than over it The causes for this fiiiiing off are varum. Many men were killed in battle, many (migrated to Canada and Europe, and not,* few who had gone South from the Northreturned here on the approach of war. Thire, too, immigration has been almost suspended for the past six years; n, 1 even now tlie utcertain condition of political affairs in the South prevents many emigrants from choosing that country for their home. This eausealone must keep away from the South all wh" seek in America \ refuge from vditiea! wrongs Mi 11 •; mocratie fruidmii for which this na tion distinguished in times past certainly vi ; not. attract sefclcrs to the Southern States. MR. DAVIS.—A gentleman who has just returned from Fortress Monroe says from personal knowledge, that the health of Jefferson Davis is much better than it has been for six months past that be is allowed free intercourse with visitors, but avoids all conversation with reference to political affairs and to his own condition ts a prisoner. He has full range of the grounds of the fott, and lives as comfortably a< any of the State officer-. AT St. Joseph, Missouri, on Sunday a man who was in prison upon the charge of bigamy,.committed suicide by taking lauda num. The next day-in the same town, a man committed suicide ly shooting himself through the head because he had a faithless wife. What an infinitude of foolishness and crime women, or ra'.her men's infatua tion with them, is responsible for. Ili'.A/ii.LiAN agents are unusally active in all our large cities seeking to induce people to try their fortunes in tie diamond regions and on the fertile pampasof South America. All such schemes are humbugs; and Brazil it as far inferior to our own boundless do mains in inducements to emigrants as she is inferior to the United States in political institutions, civilization, and all that makes a country desirable to dwell in. INDCSTRY is always profitable. A Maine newspaper relates that a boy in that State, who, some years ago amused himself by planting apple seeds, last year netted a profit of S7OO from his orchard. A Hk.MAKK AHI.E PIIUSUIT AND CA Iff UK: The Denver Xetcif gives an account of one of the most remarkable pursuits, resulting in the eventful capture of the runaways, which is recorded in criminal annuls! On the 7th of November, 1865, two men Dr. Hamilton and Eugene .Hamilton with numerous aliases, robbed Rockwell & Co.,s bank at Klkhorn, Wisconsin, ol about SIBO, 000 in money and bonds. Last summer thev turned up iu Colorado, and were in and about Denver tor some two months. By some, accident, a Mr. Van Trees, a de tective of Denver, got track of them, and they becoming aware of it, left. Mr. Van Trees and a Mr. Oozzens then began the cha-e which lasted five months, when the criminals were overtaken and arrested at El Paso, Mexico. In Texas they were rescued by a mob, hut recaptured. On their way up, at Los Pos l'inos, Now Mexico, a woman who was with them claimed to he the wife of one of the prisoners, attempted to poison Mr. Van Trees but failed. The Hauiiltons were safely confined in Denver dor a few days, bat arc etc this on their way to the East, where th-ir captor will re ceive a rich reward tor their successful pursuit and capture. ANOTHER ATLANTIC CABLE. —The public have for some time been aware of a project to lay another ocean cable between this country and Europe. The line is to start from some point on our coast —say at Cape Charles —running thence to the Burmuda Islands, from that point to the Azores, and finally landing at Lisbon, in Portugal. The company have made their contracts for a cable of superior construction and material. It is claimed that the laying of the line be tween tlie points mentioned involves much less labor, expense and risk than tbatofthe British company. That there is but little danger of failure in this respect is evident from the fact that established companies agree to complete the work taking the re sponsibility of failure Another advantage in this line will be that if one section of the cable is broken the others are not rendered useless. The company have also completed their arrangements with the governments in authority in the islands forming the way stations, and also with that of Portugal, so that the work of laying the cable will soon begin.—A*. T. Post. SOME of the admirers of Gen. Grant have just had made for them a splendid improved rifle, which they intend to present to him. It i- a highly finished weapon and was made expressly for nice shooting. The entire rifle and every part including the case and apparatus, are made of American materials. The breech is of. highly polished fine black walnut, and the stock is ornamented with solid silver mountings, which surround the inscription. "To Lieut, Gen. U. S. Grant, U. S. A., Presented by bis Friends,—." The barrel i- made of fine east steel, richly inlaid with gold. Its length, including the patent muzzle, is twenty eight inches, and it carries forty conical halls to the pound. Its entire eo-t is SBOO, and it was gotten up by a firm in Mansfield, Massachusetts. In the hands of a practised marksman it has put a ball into a given spot ten consecutive shots, and is regarded by good judges to be one <>f the best rifles ever produced in this country.

The colored population of both sexes are sandwiched in between white folks, and there is a streak of lean and a streak of fat all around, with an odor about equal to that of a slaughter house."

PUBLIC SALE OF VALUABLE REAL ES TATE.—By virtue of an order of the Or phans' Court of Bedford county, the undersigned, administrators of the estate of Martin Hoover, late of Liberty township, dee'd, will offer at pub lic sale, on the premises on FRIDAY, the 22d day of MARCH, 1867, the following described r i estate, vir : No. 1. A messuage beiog the uian d -a house and tract of land situate in the township of Lib erty, in the county of Bedford, containing one hundred and eighty-two acres, more or less, well improved and well watered, adjoining lands of Samuel Harvey, Geo. F. Steel and others, and having thereon erected a SAW MILL with CHOPPING MILL attached, the saw mill con tain- circular, lath and upright saws, and situate upon a good stream of water ; there arc also a turning-Jathe and cider mill attached to the saw. mill. There are a tenant house, dry house and other outbuildings upon the piemisrs. 180 acres arc cleared and under fence, pari of the farm be ing limestone soil. There arc also a carpenter shop, blacksmith shop and a mill for grin ling clay upon it. No. 2.

Upon these two last tracts there i, an almost unlimited quan tity of excellent timber. The whole is well wa tered. The above described real estate is pleasantly situated in a fine agricultural district, at the vcry bead of railroad market, where all produce raised con be sold at the highest prices : and as the saw mill is one of the finest in the country, and thero is a large quantity of yellow pine and oak on the same, and the transportaton to railroad is quite convenient, it is considered a valuable point for the manufacturing of lumber besides there is an immense quantity of rock oak bark on the premises. It is believed thai the lumber and bark capacity of the premises, al me is worth all the money tlic property will sell for. The par ticular attention of farmers and lumbermen is in. vitcd :as the water-power is of great strength, the mill site is very valuable, and quite a profita ble chopping business can now be done in addi tion t" the manufacturing of lumber.
