SOLDIERS BOUNTIES. —To those soldiers who have filed and about to file claims tor extra bounty, it may be interesting to know hat a report of a special committee to lon uress states that the total number of bounty ■ '.aims filed np to December 1, 1867, was 412,- 030: the total number paid, 120,806: disal lowed, 11,750, leaving the number yet to be settled, 273,474. The Department is able to pay 15,1 X*) claims a month in regular order, so that it will take about eighteen months to pay off all those at present on file. Of course tkoie filed subsequently to December Ist will have to wait longer, so that the bounty claim ants will have to be patient. The committee revummends that the number of clerks lie in reased by Congress, so as to expedite the ,>avmeut of the bounties. IMPORTANT RAILROAP SUIT.—A suit in volving questions important both to the public and to railroad companies, has recently been tried in Cambria county, and is noticed in all the Johnstown and Lhensburg newspapers. It will be remetrvered that opon the occasion of President Johnston's journey trorn Pittsburgh to Harrisburg, a very large crowd of persons assembled at the station of the Pennsylvania Railroad at John stown. The platform at that station consisted in part of a trussed bridge extending over and about twenty feet above the former bed of the canal. The train upon its arrival drew past the usual place of stopping so that the President could address the people from the rear platform of the hindmost car. The crowd rushed afler the cars, and upon that portion of the platform over the old canal. Un der this pressure it gave way, and some three or four hundred people were injured by the fall: several were killed, and many perma nently injured. Some two hundred suits were brought against the railroad company by the injured parties to recover damages, and their aggregate claims would exceed a million of dollars. The case tried was David Gillis against the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, and was considered a lest case, and occupied all of the second week of the late terra of Court. Mte=:s. Johnston, Kopeliu, and McGlaughlin were counsel for the Plain tiffs, and Messrs. Scott and Pershing for the Railroad Company. Judge Taylor decided the case upon the legal questions raised in it, and directed a verdict for the defendant. That we may not misstate the effect of his decision, we requested one of the counsel to furnish us with the points ruled, and are infor med that the case was disposed of in effect upon the two following points presented by Defendant's counsel, both of which were an swered affirmatively by the Court, viz: First. That there is no evidence showing that Plaintiff was either a passenger upon Defendant's railroad, or at their station tor the purpose of becoming one, or that he stood in any such relation at the time of his alleged injury, as to impose upon the Defendant the discharge of any duty towards him. and there fore the verdict must be for the Defendant. Second. A Railroad Company must pro vide a platform sufficient for conductine the ordinary business of their road, and the undis puted evidence offered by both parties show ing that such platform was provided at the Johnstown station, and that it was broken down by an extraordinary crowd of persons not passengers, and not there for the purpose of becoming passengers, of whom the Plaintiff was one. he is not entitled to recover for any injury sustained by such accident and the ver dict must be for Defendant. We learn from the Cambria papers that the case will be taken to the Supreme Court. If this decision is sustained there, it will dispose of all the cases, and give us all to understand that if we go into large crowds at railroad stations to gratify curiosity, we do it at our own risk. Huntingdon Glohe. FEW PERSONS CAN MAKE a better paying investment, of a dollar and a half, than to send it for a whole year's subscription to the American Agricultui-ist which is now entering npon its 271h annual volume. Though very good in the past, the quality of the first num ber for 1858 shows that this superb journal has still better things in store for this year's volume. The paper has been kept up to its full standard of excellence, by the associate editors, and we learn from the number before us that Mr. Orange Judd. the longtime edi tor in chief, has just returned from his lengthy tour in Europe, rested and reinvigorated, and that he will resume his labors upon the Agri culturist, with no diminution in the recent strong editorial force that have so ably con ducted the paper in his absence. This jour nal has already a circulation averaging half a dozen subscribers for every Post Office in the United States and British America, but we presume that in its new. spacious, aijd perma nent headquarters, at 245 Broadway, ther e will be room to new comers. Ihe large size of the Agriculturist, its great num ber of beautiful and instructive engravings, its vast store of useful, practical, and reliable information about all matters pertaining to the Farm, the Garden, and the Household; its pleasing and instructive department for Children and Youth, with its unsparing ex posures of the humbugs and swindlers that abound, all render this journal a very valua ble, and almost indispensable aid to every Man, Woman and Child, in City, Village and Country. The terms, owing to its immense circulation, are put down to the very low price of $1.50 a year, or four copies for $5. Take our advice, and send for it a year, or, at least, send 15 cents, and get a post-paid spe cimen copy. Orange Judd k Co., 245 Broad way, N. Y-, are the Publishers.

TRY AGAIN.— The point at which Bedford street crosses Pitt, has long been a dangerous crossing for wagons of every description, on account of the abrupt descent into a deep gul ley, most probably worn by the water coming down Bedtord street. The City Fathers, among other things, undertook to remedy this last summer. They bad duubtleaa heard somewhere that the inan, who made two blades of grass grow where before there was but one, was a public benefactor, and straight way themselves essayed to become public benefactors, by making two gnllies where be fore there was but one,—and they succeeded —not in becoming public benefactors, hut in making the two gullies, and too, al* most as large as the original one. On New \ ear's Day it came very near being the cause of a serious accident. Iwo young men were driving a spirited pair of horses in a sleigh, the horses becoming frightened, they were unable to hold them but succeeded in keep ing them in the middle, of the street, and would doubtless have stopped them and pre vented an actual run off' if it had not been for the aforesaid gullies, where the young men Were unceremoniously tumbled out, luckily without harm, and the team ran away. So much for street improvement. DOWN AMONG THE DEAD MEN, are, at this moment thousands who might have been aiive and welt bad they used that great life preser ver, Plantation Bitters.

As a de licious cordial, combined with great tonic virtues, their equal caunot be found. Delicate Females, Clergymen, Merchants, 1-awyers and persons of sedentary habits— particularly those who are weak and suffer with mental depression, are greatly benefited by these Bitters. 1,2t MARRIED.

HENRY RObE, * Jan. 3-wti Executor. FJMIE PITTSBURGH COMMERCIAL. It Is unnecessary to occupy time or space in setting forth the character of the Commer cial. Its standing as the leading newspaper in Pennsylvania—although the most recently established of the first elass papers of the country—is already assured. At no time an experiment, it has steadily grown in circula tion, strength and patronage, until it has be come recognized everywhere not only as the leading journal in this State, but the favorite wjth the reading public in a large part of Ohio, West Virginia and even beyond their bor ders. It employs the telegraph on a scale equalled only by the great papers of the iar ger cities. As a Commercial paper it has a recognized standing at home and abroad, and is read by the most intelligent of all classes, among whom It exerts an influence 3econd to no other in the State. Its Market Reports are carefully prepared by competent reporters and we employ every means to insure com pleteness and reliability. Republican in polities, the Commercial does not scruple to be independent and criti cises freely the leading men of the party. ] Adhering firmly to the fundamental princi-J pies of that party, it believes success is most J surely achieved by freely discussing proposi tions aud measures, with the view of assisting the reader to arrive at correct conclusions. Entering, as we now are, on the Presiden tial year, a preference for Gen. Grant for the Presidency has already been expressed. In this respect, the Commercial was one of the first to take a decided stand; and it has the satisfaction of having already seen its favorite the accepted ot the great majority of the Re publican party. In State affairs the Commercial is the un flinching advocate of a Free Railroad I-aw and a Liberal System of improvements for the development ot the vast resources of our State, whereby she will be enriched and the welfare of her citizens advanced. Onr aim from the first has been to make the Commercial second to none as a General Newspaper. We leave nothing untried to accomplish tbia object. So well bave we re deemed our promises that we deem it useless to make new ones in this or any other par ticular. TEKItS OF TUF. DAILY COMXHUJUI.

Thi* bring* the line to the eastern base of the Iloeky Mountains, and it expected that the track 5e laid thirty mile* farther, to Evans Pa*s, th e highest point on the road, by Janoary. The maxinswn grade from the foot of the mountains to the sumit W hat eighty feet to the mile, while that of many extern roads it over one hundred. Work on the roek cutting on the western slope wili eootujue through <fc winter, and there is now no reason to doobt that theontirc grand line to the Pacific wiil be open for business i a 1379. The uiean - provided for the construction of this Great National Work are ample. Tan United States grants its Six per cent. Bonds at th rate of from $J6,90 to s4B,<><M> per mile, for which it takes a .even" Urn as security, and receives pay ment to a large if not to the fnl! extent of ita claim in services. Tbc-e Bond* are issued as each twenty-mile section is finished, and after it has Itceu examined by the United States Com missioners and pronounced to be in all respects a first-class road, thoroughly supplied with depots' repair-shops, stations, and all the necessary rolling stock and other equipments. Vise United State* also makes a donation of acres of land to the mile, which will be a source of large revenue to the Company. Much of this land in the Platte Valley is among the most fertile in the world, and other large portions are covered with heavy pine forests and abound in coal of tne best quality. The Company is alse authorized to iussue own First M .rtgage Bonds to an amount equal to the issue of the Government and no more. Ifon. E. D. Morgan and Hon. Oake* Ames are Trustees for the Bond-holders, and deliver the Bonds to the Company oaly as the work progresses, so that they always represent an actual and productive value. The authorized capital of the Company is One Hundred Million Dollars, of which over fire mil lions have been paid in upon the work already done. EARNINGS OF THE COMPANY. At present, the profits of the Company are de rived only from its local traffic, but this is already much more than sufficient to pay the intersts on all the Bonds the Company can issue, if not an other mile were built. It is not doubted that when the road is completed the through traffic of the only line eennecting the Atlantic and Pacific States will be large beyond precedent, and, aa there will be no competition, it can always be done at profitable rates. It will be notice 1 that the Union Pacific Rail road is, in fact, a Government Ho/A, built under the supervision of Government money, and that its bonds are issued under Government directors. It is believed that no similar security is so care fully guarded, and certainly no other is based upon a large or B.re valuable property. As the Company's FIRST MORTGAGE BONDS, are offered for the present at 99 CENTS OX THE DOLLAR, they are the cheapest security in the market, being more than fifteen per cent lower than U. S. Stocks. They pay SIX PER CENT. IX' GOLD, or over NINE PER CENT, upon the investment. Subscriptions will be revived in Bedford by RUPP AND SHANNON, and in New York at the Company's Office, No. 29 Nassau street, and by CONTINENTAL NATIONAL BANK, No. 7 Nassau street, CLARK, DODGE A CO., Bankers, No. fit Wall street, JOHN J. CISCO 4 SOX", Bankers. No. 3d Wall street, and by the Compa ny's advertised Agents throughout the United States. Remittances should be made in drafts or other funds par in New York, and the bonds will be sent free of charge by return express. Parties subscribing through local agents, will look to them for their safe delivery.
