febforii Inquirer. BEDFORD. PAM FBIDiT. Ji* 3, HH* 523 ML LEU. We can hardly keep-up with thU 1 uioa Pacific Railroad. Three week* ago we rca-j of four hundred and some mile - completed, then of five hundred, and now we are told that the base of the Rocky Mountains, ">'io miles from Omaha, has been reached. But this is not all, even fer this year. To the summit of the Black Uiiis (the easterly ridge of the Rocky Mouulain range; i- but thirty miles further, and this point, the highest on the whole line, i* expected to be the halting place for a railway train in a few weeks more. The vigor with which this great national undertaking i- being pushed forward is one of the wonders even of this wonderful age. Over the plain s— across the rivers—up the mountain dopes, I and through the defiles beyond, the same restless energy urges on the work leafing us no reason to doubt that the Pacific Ocean will be united with the Atlantic by rail in 1870. All these great achievement? eo.-t in ny I and a great deal of it. Over forty million dollars have already bec-n expended on the two ends of tbe Hue. and yet funds have never been lacking. With direct or* of great energy and financial experien -e. s'lpjtor! 1 by a wealthy and powerful corporation, if i no wonder tbat ' the workgoe> bravely on. But still, if Uncle Baiu had not put hi shoulder to tho wheel, opened up his purse, and offered his broad acres, the locomotive would not have whistled at Urigham Young for a long time to coroe. But Uncle fare's great farm of half a continent needed a road through it—his Indians needed a tcueh of railroad civilization to'keep them peaceable and it was very necessary that he Mi old open those great and rich mountain i ockets so full of gold, which nothing but a -team engine could unbutton. It seems wise, therefore, that he should lend fifty million dollars, ami give even twenty million acre* of land, which would othenvis bev rii.k-s to improve bis own property, and tak?a second mortage on the greatest railroad in the world for security, especially when bis own freight bills for work done, at a quarter of the old prices; more than pay th in:.-. But profitable a* the investment is to the country, it gives remarkable safety and value to the Company'sown First Mortgage bonds. The Government staiuh behind them, and gives them such a guarantee as it never gave to the securities of auv private enterp --". We never desire to recommend anything beyond its actual merit, but we think that any one who has a thousand dollars to invest would do well to call upon the Union Paeifie Railroad Company's agent, or write to their office, No. 20 Nassau Street, New York, for a very interesting pamphlet, containing a map of the line, and a full statement in re lation to the progress of this great national enterprise. DEMOCRATIC DOCTRINE. There was lately commenced -a\ - the I'ltUhuryh Commercial, a systematic effort to extend far and near the circulation ol th ■ f/i Crosse Democrat, and the result hns b ,i a circulation which PoMERov, (be t-iir-.r claims is second to only one polith-al news paper in this country. It would be unfair to aver tbat there are not in the Democratic party those who utterly condemn this man and his paper; it is nevertheless true that the large circulation has been obtained on the score of the soundness of the paper a- a Democratic organ and preacher of unadul terated Democratic doctrines. With there remarks we quote the following from a j late number of the !>■ moceo' "We tell you, Radicals and traitoi . your j tool shall never enter the Presidential Man sion, elected by negro vote*. If this be treason make the most of it. But bear in mind that it is treason held by two millions of white men, tcho arc ready to .tight fur white supremacy! God help you, if the struggle comes; for spite of the Rump, vour niggers, and ail the rcmaiiiiuy janccr* of hell at your command, white will win. and there will be such an outpouring of niyyer blood, such a hanyiny of Radicals to 'sour o/gife trcts,' as was never "known since the world emerged from chaos! "In this connection a hint to Democrats. In '6B clubs will be formed in every town and city in the country. Ijet these clubs be com posed of men as ready to fight a* to rote ! ljct them be drilled in the manual of arms —be as conversant with the science of mili tary taotics as with Democratic principles. They may not be required to display that knowledge, but if niyyer or Radirtd hilling should be in order, they will be as ready for that business as to listen to the inaugural ofa Democratic President on tue 4th day March, 1869." THE EXCLUSION of obscene adtcitise meDts from the columns of weekly and daily papers, is becoming a subject of serious con sideration with publishers. In addition to the STATE GUARD, which is pledged never to admit such advertising to its columns, wc notice that tho Montour American, Dan ville; Bradford Reporter, Towanda; Colum bian, Bloomsburg; pledge themselves never to insult their readers with such publica tions. We hope to see added to this list, the name of every newspaper in the State. Enough mischief has unintentionally been perpetrated by the newspaper press in the publication of such advertising, so that it is time a movement was make to abate tbe nuisance. The above reflections upon the preuicioua and indiscriminate publication of questiona ble advertisements iu the country press we cut from the State Guard. We would only add that since the present firm contiol the columns of the INQUIRER, they have exclu ded evcqp advertisement ol this kind that has been offered them, though they could have added several hundred dollars to their yearly income if they had not done so. Isct the country, as well as city press, make a sol id stand against the intolerable nuisance and these base traffickers in the obscene and filthy will be driven from before the public. THE President has assured his rebel friends that ha will decapitate Gen. Pope as Eoon as he can find a successor of the Han cock stamp. It is hard to find a General in the United States army wlio is willing to rake the hot chestnuts out of the fire for tbe President. There is no doubt, however, that some parasite can be found to doit. Hincc writing tbe abore, both Pope aud Ord have been removed. THERE is a uniform movement in the ' rvrnthern States in favor of Chase for Presi dent; or sanitations have been perfected in ; all of these states for this purpose. THE last few weeks have seldom been 1 urpa-scd for general slaughter, murder, rapine, disorder, and general debauchery all over the c untry. The telegraph wires have -eareely bore any other news. Wick edness appears to be borne upon the very air. \%II. it never rains but it pours. THE national real eslafe agency at Wash ington, under the control of William H. Sew ard. is likely to come to grief. The agency has en dabbling in ice-bergs, eternal snows, earth quakes, hurricanes, etc. etc., until the confidence has been completely frozen and shaken out of Con cress and there is at least a probability that it may vote no pay. This is not because Walrus-ia does not consist of tbe hard stuff or tbat St. Thomas is no '/real shakes but because Congress has bad | a d"i,c - r thrown over it. CONGRESSIONAL.
