LANDOWNER* LOOK -TO TOTLK TITLES. WE
learn from the Rejtort of Surveyor General
Campbell, that there is a sum due the Com-
BBGHWea'th on returned surveys, mortgages
and special Hens amounting $1,882,036 67
an : .hat there are 9,277,462 acre* of unpaten
ted land in the State. Under an act of the
Legislature approved the 20th day of May, A.
D. 1854, the "Surveyor General is authorized
to make oat u list of all lands held by location
or any other office right, issued from the
Land Department of this Commonwealth, of
every kind aud description, upon which no
patent* have issued, designating the county
iu which such lands are situated, with such
other descriptions of the same as the records I
of his office will enable him to give, including i
the names in which such locations or other ;
office rights are entered, and surveys have
been returned; aud on the list being comple
ted, or any part thereof be transmitted the
protboootary of the county iu which such
lauds are situated, and he is further directed
to calculate the amount of purchase money.
interest and lees, due on each unpatented
tract: and after the descriptions of said tracts
have been transmitted to the protb oratories
of the respective counties, and entered as .
hereinafter provided, the amount so found to I
be due, together with five dollars for the !
labor and costs, of making out and filing, :
shall form an aggregate sum which shall be
entered in a lien docket to be provided and •
kept for that purpose, and said sum shall
bear interest at the rate of ix per cent."
Mr. Campbell suvs: "Since my last report,
the clerical farce in the office, as far as it
could be spared from the ordinary business,
has beeti faithfully and energetically employed
in getting out the Rat of unpatented lands, 1
and calculating the amount thereon." "The
amount of labor and care required in this
work, can only be fully realized by those
familiar with it. for it involves the closest
scrutiny of a great portion of the papers and
records in the Department: in fact, an over
hauling ol what remains unfinished of all pre
ceding administrations." We Seam by this
tbi-t the work is going rapidly forward and
we know that a vast number of these lands
lie io Bedford county. Persons desiring to
know whether their titles are clear of the
Commonwealth can apply to Dusborrow A
Lutz, who will have the matter promptly
looked up at llarrisburg and save the fees
that will be necessarily imposed if parties
wait until the lists are filed in the Prothona .
tary's office.
TIME TO STOP. —Within the limit of a week J
we have been asked to'sign two petition*, one j
for the appointment of a drunken man to an i
office, the othtr for the pardon of a horse j
thief sent from here to the Western Peniten- i
tiarv about six months ago, fay the term of |
—years.
As a matter of course, we refused. Rut ;
we took time to read the petitions and look j
who bad signed them. We saw there the j
names of many men of character and stand- j
ing in the commuity, men who if their names ;
were published to the world would be heartily
ashamed at finding themselves exposed—men '
who cry loudly about corruption aud venality |
in our public officers —men whein no one ,
would suspect of countenancing or in any way
encouraging the things they thus loudly con- j
demn: yet we here find this very class of men
giving the intiaeuce of their names in bo.b
tbe above named petitions. We are glad
that Gov. Geary has set the example of pub- j
lisbirig the names of all parties signing pti- .
lions for the pardon of criminals. We prom
ise. that, for tbe especial benefit of these good
people and that their professions and tbeir
practices may be contrasted, we will publish
hereafter tbe pardons of criminal* from this
county, with the names of the petitioners as
soon as they are made public by the Gover
nor. If men have no regard for the interests
of the community and care neither for the j
honor or character of public officers, nor the |
safety of cur farmers horses, we will at least j
let the farmers know whom they have to ;
thank for setting horse thieves at large. If j
: it has come to pass that all or any members I
of the bar are willing to do anything for a '
j fee, (and much as we desire to honor the pro- i
' fession we are constrained to acknowledge 1
j that this is ttO much the case: it is high time 1
the people should know it. Venality, corrup
; tion, and crime are not so fearfully prevalent
without cause; and the inconsistency and i
Hypocrisy of those who decry crime wi h their :

RAILROAD MEETING. — The attention ut the ■
citizens of Bedford county is directed to the
C;R for a railroad meeting on next Monday
evening. Bedford is once more left out in
the cold. The veil which has hung over us
for the last four years, has at last been lifted
and we are coolly told that the Southern
Pennsylvania and Connellsviile railway was a
mere paper creature to force the Pittsburgh
and Coonelisville Company out of existence,
and having failed iu this the roate is to be
; abandoned. This was our position during the
entire controversy, but tbe friends of the Cen
tral in-isted that it was otherwise and that the
Central would be compelled to have another
track or route, and whether successful or un
successful in her contest with the Pittsburgh
and Conneltsville, it would be ail the aarae.
Tbe last Report cf J. Edgar Thompson settles
the question.
This being the case it behooves the peoole i
of Bedford to look after their own interests. !
They have already depended long on
others. The Conqensviile Railroad will be
completed within two years, if the finances
of tbe country will permit. By the coestrac
tir,n of a railway from Bedford to Bridgeport,
a distance of tweuty miles, Bedford will be
connected directly with Biltim ire. Washing
j ton, Pittsburgh, Wheeling, and Cumberland.
; Ail those cities will be interested in securing
our trade and. we have no doubt, will sab
i scribe liberally to secure the construction of
| tfi'o road. Besides this tbe Bai'timore and
j Ohio raiiroad should take a large share of
the stock because heie it would enter the
{ field agvnst the Central, and on the other
| baud, if Philadelphia wants our trade she
must come down handsomely. By the coo
-1 atruction of this road our merchants will cn
j ji-y advantages enjoyed by tew in the State.
( They CAM buy their good* where they will rc
] ceive the best terms. We thi*c the road
ought to be built without any difficulty.

BEDFORD TOWXSUIP, FEB. 24RJI 1863.
To the Board of School Director* of Bci/'urd
Township.
• GENTLEMEN: — The IMPORTANCE of common
school education will be my sufficient apology
for addressing you this note to call your at
tention to the unlawfulness of the existing
common school* of thi* township, and to re
spectfully suggest to you the remedy therefor.
And as the matter concerns ihe_pubiic who
are your constituents, and au election for
school directors i* near at band, I address
yoa through the public print.
It is known to you that lasf winter, on peti
i tion of myself and and a nnmber of others, an
j act of Assembly was passed adding to Bedford
Borough for school purposes a portion of thi*
Township as far east as Dr. Anderson's fartu
and as far south as tbe Springs. The District
added includes more than thirty families,
more than fifty scholars, and about $400.00
of school tax. Prior to this, all these were
practically without school privileges. The
school bouse to which they were required
i to seud i* the one called "Shaver's Valley, "
a mile and a half south of the Springs, near
; to Mrs. Richardson's, and is a log building
| altogether unsuitable, located in a neighbor
hood entire' Y OUT of the way for the majority
of the scholars, where a teacher could not
T find suitable boarding, and where every sum
mer the school bouse is stripped of its sa:-h,
Ac., until the fall finds it a neglected wreck.
Under the direction of some of the members
of your Board, a long remonstrance was got
up last winter, and again this winter, against
ibis law. No doubt you miss our tax which
I for years you have used to keep up your other
schools. There never has been a year to my
knowledge when you spent on tbe Shover's
'."alley school as much as one fourth the tax
paid by this District. Oftentimes the school
was not kept open the length of time required
by law, sometimes not at all, and when
opened some boy was got to go through the
semblance of teaching ten or fifteen irregularly
attending scholars. To the repeated remon
strances of myself and others you were as
deaf AS a post, and you B-gleeted year after
year to provide us a suitable school-house,
and refused to make any arrangement permit
ting us to pay our school taxes in the Borough
and send oar children to the Borough schools.
You. therefore, I am sure, on reflection, must
admit that we did nothiog more than was
right in procuring legislation by which we
were attached to the Borough.
But oar District was not alone in being
neglected, although ours was the most outra
| geoas case. In truth there are not a suffi
cient number of school houses in the town
ship and most of those that are, are n>t suits
ble buildings.
The law makes it your duty to "establish a
: sufficient number of schools for the education
I of every individual, above the age of five and
I 'jnder twenty one vears, who may apply''—
and it also makes it your duty to "procure
! suitable lots" and "erect suitable buildings."
The language of the law is imperative. You
j SHALL do these things. Now. gentlemen, I
can see no reason why you should longer de
j lay to comply with tbe law. Why not borrow
six or e>ght thousand dollars and proceed at
'■ once to erect ten or twelve suitable school
houses, suitably located; or more than that,
i if more are reaiiy needed, and then levy a
sufficient amount of taxtoearryon the schools
and pay -..'ff. say one thousand dollars each
year of the loan? Bedford Borough, which
is really no richer than tbe township, erected
a few years ego a school building at an ex
pense of $14,000, and did it in the way pro
posed. by a loan which was gradually paid off.
That buildirg is a monument to the advanced
public -pirit of a few citizens, and will re
main such through the ages as they roll.
; If you build tor tbe whole Township at
j once as many as may be needed, you will ob
viate the dissKtisfaction that will arise by
building one school-bouse at a time; for each
I neighborhood fancies its owo necessities the
: most urgent. And whenever a suitable
school house, suitably loeated for the wants
of the people lately added to the Borough, is
j in good faith determined npon by your Board,
i those people will, I have no doubt, cut seul
! to the repeal of the law. More than this you
j ought not to expect. You ought not toask us
; to pay school tax unless you give as a school.
Gentlemen of the Board of School Bisec
tors. yon have an opportunity to "do tbe
j State some service," and do yourselves some
credit. Miss not the occasion. "Peace bath
; her victories as well as war?" Erect ten or
1 twelve neat, comfortable aud convenient,
I brick school-houses, with properly enclosed
play grounds, and your children and your
children's children for generations wili re
member with pride and repeat with satisfac
tion that you were the school Directors who
inaugurated this good thir.g.
Very Respectfully,
W. M. HALT.

jOX ION PACIFIC RAILROAD
I RUNNING WEST FROM OMAHA
ACROSS THE CONTINENT,
-IRE SOW COMPLETED.
This br::._- the line to the eastern base of the
Kooky Mountains, and it expected that the track
• itl be laid thirty mile* further, to Evans PM.,
tbe highest point on the road, by January. Tbe
meximfe. rrilo from the foot of the mountains to
the jo mlt 1- hut "i-hty feet to the mile, while
that of many eastern romde la over one hundred.
Work on. the rock-cutting on the western elope
1 vanLznu* through the winter, and there is now
au rear ~': to doubt that the entire grand line to the
Pacific will he open for business in 1870.
The means provided for the conitruetion ol this
Great National Work ere ample. The I'm ted
States grants its Six per cent. Bonds at the rate
of fro'a M te $48,600 per mile, for which it
takes a reread free as security, and receives pay
ment to a if not to the full extent of its
claim in services. These Bonds are issued as
each twenty-mile section is finished, and after it
ha.' been examined by the United States Com- 1
in.siioners and pronounced to be in ell respects a
first-class road, thoroughly supplied with depots
repair-shops, stations. and all the necessary rolling
stock and other equipments.
ihe United States also makes a donation of
12,¥00 acres of land t<> the mile, which will be a
source of large revenue to the Company. Much of
this land in the Platte Vallej is among the most
fertile ill the'world, and other large portions are
covered with heavy pine forests end abound in
coal of toe best quality.
The Company is alse authorized to iussue its I
Own First Mortgage Bonds to an amount equal to
the issue of the Government and no more. Hon.
E. D. Morgan and Hon. Cakes Ames are Trustees
for the Bond-bolders, and deliver the Bonds to the
Company only as the work progresses, so that
ihey always represent an actual and prodnctive i
Ttlue.
The authorized capita! of the Company is One
| Hundred Million Dollars, cf which over fire mil- |
| lions have been paid in upon the work already |
done.
EARNINGS OP THE COMPANY.
A; presve;, ihc profile of the Company are de
rived only from its local traffic, bntthisis already
much more than suffi tent to pay the intersts on
ill the Bonds the Company can issue, if not an
other mile were built. It is not doubted that
wh.n the road is completed the through traffie of I
the only line connecting the Atlantic and Pacific j
State, will" be large beyond precedent, and, as
there will be no cetrt-v'ttion, it can always be done !
at profitable rates.
It will be noticed that the Union !'• iffic Rail
road is, in fact, a So. • -( IFo.-h, built under I
' the supervision of Government money, and that :
J its bonds are issued i-Dtler Government directors. ]
It is believed that no similar security is so care- j
| fuliy guarded, and certainly no other is based
upon a large or more valuable property. As the
! Company's
FIRST MORTGAGE BONDS,
are offered for the present at 90 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,
I or over NINE PER CENT, upon the investment
