Monday, May l'Rh 1 S6'. mark.- the ino-t important, epoch in modern civilization. The completion ol the Pacific Railroad b the event of the age. It makes the crown ing triumph of modern civilization and science and begins a revolution in the com merce of the world. Beside it the builaing of the Appian way, the Pyramids, the Chi cese wall or any other similar event in past ages sinks into insignificance. No useless labor, no vain ambition, no selfish exclusion here. The promotion of human welfare and the advancement of human civilization are its chief aims. Its iron bands now bind the East and the West and link ocean to ocean. The future highway of the nation-, here all the nationalities of earth shall meet and mingle. Built and managed in the interest of all mankind, across a continent dedicated to civil and religious liberty, in which the downtrodden and oppressed of every clime may find a free and happy home, its influence on the welfare of the human race is beyond calculation. By it the course of tlic world's commerce will bo changed and the wealth that fbr cent uric - has been poured into the commercial centrc of the old world will find its way to the new and New York, Philadelphia and San Fran cisco will become the great marts of the world. In these latter days the wildest marvels of past ages have been so frequent ly surpassed by the actual achievements cf the present that we have almost ceased to attempt forecasting the great results that must of necessity follow such marvelou-' achievements as this. America seems con tinually to astound the world with hi r pro digious performances. The laying of til- Atlantic Cable though a most wonderful feat, accomplished by the intelligence end energy of one of our own citizen-: was soon forgotten in the fearful din of the most ter rific war ever recorded in history. In the midst of a struggle in which all the world declared the nation hope!e--!y U-t was in augurated the most stupendous industrial and commercial enterpri.-e ever dreamed of in the vvorM g history, to la- carried to com pletion in much less tune than flic ni'-t .-an guine had hoped and that at the very mo ment when all the world hut ourselves le licved our whole nation irrevocably bank rupted. Y\ hat shall come next to -turtle, and surprise '? Of a certainty great, things are in store for us a- a nation. Between the crowded and overflowing nations of both the eastern and western portions of the old world, not only thiir wealth of gold and commerce, but their ov-.-.flowing ; elation will pour in upon u- beyond a 1 reviou experience or expectation. Th inhabitant of every land and clime will eti their lot with us and t.'.t- 1 up their Aside (q ~m-rnidst. rnidst.

Several ofthescn.cn arc able and worthy and if nominated would no doubt be elected and make acceptable Governors. Gov. Geary however ha* given such general satisfaction as our executive that he should not be set aside for any now man, except for the most weighty reasons. We hope to fee L. f 1 f if to *• - • -j-j \ GROSS OUTRAGE I'PON THE PRESS. Mr. F. A Conly, President of the North Pennsylvania Railroad Company has pro hibited the sale of the Philadelphia Inqui rer on that road because the Inquirer has had occasion to criticise the affairs of the road in such a manner as to offend the magnates of the company. This is only a single specimen of the main* devices for muzzling the Press whenever it daws to criticise aDd rebuke the outrage-, per petrated on the people by rich corporations or pompous nabobs. Let all such attempts at petty tyrranny be promptly and severely rebuked by press and people. The freedom of speech and of the press are the outposts of our political liberties and are the first to give the alarm when the rights of the people are encroached upon and their liberties threatened. It may be taken for granted, in nine cases out of ten, when such parties complain of or discriminate against the press, that they have betrayed their trusts j or violated the rights of the people and their guilt ha- been exposed by that ever vigilant guardian of the people's welfare, the press. Let unqualified condemnation meet all such efforts to discriminate against and crush out every paper that boldly notifies the people of the outrages perpetrated by their servants and warns them of the dan gets threatening their rights and privileges. Let unscrupulous parties, whether -ingle individuals or corporations, under, rand that the people have rights and know them, and knowing dare maintain them. Rai'road tyrranny is becoming a bane to the whole country which must be boldly met and with * strong hand given to know its proper place. OI K DEBT. Tiio statement of the public debt for May Ist is of the most encouraging and grat ifying character. The decrease of the pub lie debt in April was nearly six and a half trillions of dollars, and the reduction for the current month is expected to be still greater. The management of our finance und r Secretary Boat well seems to give general -atisfaction and promises to far -urj as- in economy and efficiency any pre vious i-ondnct of the Treasury Department. He i- a faithful officer and a true represen tative of the Republican policy of retrench ment, rtforni and economy. It is a matter fbr -ngratulation to the party that wchave obtained for this most important post an boocst and able officer, whose chief aim is a- it should he to si rve his country faith fully and promote her welfare and prosperity to the b -t of his ability. In this Depart ment at least Grant's administration has made a most auspicious beginning. If the Internal Revenue Department is conducted with as much ability and economy, and it promises to be, we will soon be on the high road to an early payment of our national indebtedness. LET us have courage. The public DELT has been decreased nearly $34u,000,00Q during the last three years half—at the rate of $50,000,000 annually. This is go id. and certainly we are in all ways better off th ai while we carried so heavy a load. B -in ss is brightening up at home, out of our immediate limits, and over the whole country. The Pacific Railroad is done, the Pacific steamships are running, and immi gration is constantly increasing. Prices of necessities are gradually falling, and there is no good reason why courage should not ru'c in every heart. Fifteen hundred and on Thursday—immigrants, and a direct gain to us — Sunday Morning Times. THE public debt statement for May let. just issued from the Treasury Department, s! ws the total debt, principal and interest, to b *2,435,032,883,12. Amount in TT usury—Coin belonging to the Govern ui .i', $92, 031,732.96; coin for which ecr tifie I'OS of deposit arc outstanding, $16,- 307,201; currency, $7,896,564.07 —$116,- 23V 197.03. Amount of public debt less cash in Treasury, $2, 518,797,391.09; a mount of public debt less cash in Treasury on the 1 st ultimo, $2,525, 196,461. 74; do crease of public debt during the past month, $6,039,070,65. ft is expected the fig ures for the present month will make an even more gratifying exhibit. Ct: v still continues to be one of the chief excitements of the tin,,.-. Soncution stories of shiploads of recruits and cargoes of arms and ammunition having been shipped from American ports for the revolutionists are common. IIoW m his true and how uiuch untrue it is dii.l-.-ult to determine. The authorities arc exercising due vigilance to prevent any violation of our neutrality iaw ¥ but do not attempt to disguise the fact that the public sentiment of our people is decidedly favorable to tiro oppressed Cubans and that nothing would more de light us than, the accomplishment of Cuban i J- i tidenc\ But of thi. of course, S 'sin cannot complain as long as wc preserve our neutrality. THE Panne RAILROAD was completed ot! Monday last the 10th in t. The Greatest enterprise of the age is now an accomplished fact and the iron horse runs from the At lantic to the Pacific over an unbroken line of iron ru-1. in less time than it onco took to travel from Philadelphia to Pittsburg. THE Connecticut Senate has ratified the Fifteenth amendment to the United States Constitution. The llousc will undoubt ed!} loilow, and thus another Northern State may be considered pledged to this great vindication of human rights. THE danger of difficulties arising out of the coban rebellion and also the Alabama claims difficulty with England has caused a rise of several cents in gold in the past week or two. It sold at $1,38 in New York on Monday last. THE Completion of the Pacific ilrilrcad was celebrated in all parts of the country by the ringing oi bells, tiring of cannon and other evidences of rejoicing at the accom plishment of this world renowned enterprise. THE OLDEST EDITOR IN THE STATE— The Potts v ill e Miners Journal of the first inst. claims that its senior editor is the oldf-t political editor iu tie state having filled the editorial chair for forty years. The Adams Sentinel contests the claim in the following style. Poltsville is quite a town, and the Miners' Journal a capital paper; but we object to Pottsville robbing Gettysburg of the hon ors of seniority ir, editorial life, which of right beloogs to our esteemed colleague, Robert G. Harjter. The Miners' Journal was established in J 824, and purchased by its present editor in 1829, who has thus onf" '"/ ,to c ,d' tc ! ri *l harness for 40 years" 1 ho AJanuS' ntmel was established iu 1800 t>y the lather of the senior editoi of this taking charge ofit in 1816, upon the death ol bis lather, and continuing Tstr wb d,t Th until ci'',h C/ ,'l v. Was wnsoliduuid with the Star, under the present firm,- 0 f which 31 r. Harper is the senior member Our colleague bas therefore been in con tinuous editorial life for 53 years—sl years as sole editor of the satae paper, the Adams Sentinel— just 13 years longer than tie Jo.ir; I claims lor its editor. OFFICE SEEKING EXTRAORDINARY.— It is said that the first train to Washington from the North, after the announcement of the death cf Marshal Ely, carried four hundred applicants for the vacant office. We believe none of these eager aspirants for office received the appointment, which was but right aud proper. Some of them may perhaps learn to wait for office to seek them and it will be to their own and their country's good. OPPORTCX ELY, with the notes of preparation for the grand opening of the Pacific Railway on Monday, comes news of the progress made by the East India Telegraph Company in coupling Canton with Calcutta, London, and New York. By the end of the year, as the sanguine American conductors of the enter prise give to be understood, the line will be completed. San I-'ranciseo will then eend her news for China East, and her ships West; will transmit orders for teas and silks three fourths of the way around the globe in a mo ment. and will receive the shipments from an opposite direction, in little over a fortnight. We cannot but regard it a3 fortunate for this country that the great enterprise of introdu cing telegraphs to and through China should be in American bands; and we augur rich openings for the business enterprise of our countrymen, in the path along which these telegraph gentlemen have become the pio neers. —Neir York Tribune. The Pacific Railroad. SAN FRANCISCO. April 7. The people of this city and Sacramento are in a state of feverish excitement in re gard to the. completion of the Pacific railroad. Preparations have been made in both places fbr the observance of the event, which will occur on Saturday. The bankers of this city have given no tice that their houses will be closed on that day, aud business will be generally suspend ed. Arrangements tiave been made by the Western Union Telegraph Company, so that the stroke i f the hammer ou the last spike driven shall be repeated simultaneously in New York and San Francisco by telegraph. Besides the silver mounted and polished California tie, a spike of gold, siiver spike, an-J silver hammer, for use in the comple tion. were forwarded to the end of the track. The excursion train for the end of the Central Pacific railroad, with the commis sinners and Governor Stanford and guests, was nearly wrecked yesterday by a large tree which bad fallen across the track. The obstruction was discovered in time to pre serve the passenger cars uninjured, but the locomotive was damaged and thrown off the track. The Hall & Norcross mining company have declared a dividend of six dollars per share, payable on the 10th inst. COMPLETION OF THE WORK—THE I .AST .SPIKE DRIVEN. The woik of connecting the Central and Union Pacific Railroad* was completed on Monday noon. Each stroke of the hummer, driving the | last spike in the last rail, was reported by telegraph to all parts of the country. By this unique telegraphic feat all see tions of the country were enabled to partici pate.simultaneously in the celebration taking place near Great Salt Like, in Utah. In Philadelphia there was a general ring ing of church and fire bells in reognition of this great national event, between the houis of 3 and 3' o'clock. I'lto.ll CUBA. Engagements Between the Troops ami lu svrgent —Meeting of the Wealthy Span iuds—Dolce Complain* of the Want of Money—Xegro Troops Showing Signs of Insubordination—British Demands ou the Authorities, NEW YORK, May 7.—A special from Havana, May 6, says a meeting of wealthy Spaniards was he'd at the government pal ace, at which the necessity of sending to Spain, for more troops was suggested. General Dulce complained of the want of n *'lWsirrrcvtloTrarv unmnmrairan made in the Yuelta Abajo region. The mo bilized negro troops at Nnevitas show signs of insubordination. Dates from Jamaica to the Ist inst., have been received. Commodore I'hillimore will demand the release of vessels captured in British waters, the liberation of their crews, and explanation and indemnity from the Spanish authorities at Havana. He will also require an explanation of the circumstances connected with the landing of Spaniards on British territory. 11 the reply to these demands is unsatisfactory he will make reprisals. HA-, ANA, May 7.— The journals of to-day published accounts of several engagements between the troops uodc-r Count Valmaseda and the Cuban force. The Spaniards claim a victory. Captain General Dulce, accom panied by a battalion of volunteers, visits Matanzas on Sunday. The flagship Ccntocock sailed to-day. The Telegraph in China. Governor Curtin, president of the East India Telegraph company, and A. C. M Clurc. solicitor of the corporation, had an interview with the Secretaries of State and the Navy to day in relation to the introduc tion of the telegraph into China. The com pany have a grant procured by Mr. Bur iingame when he was American minister in China, authorizing them to lay a cable be tween S.intor and Shanghai, connecting the commercial cities of the Asiastic coast by telegraph. They have five hundred miles of cable ready to ship and lay down, and will heave the remaining five hundred miles ready to ship during the summer. Orders will be issued to the commander oi the Asiatic squadron to render all necessary aid and protection. The State department will instruct our minister and consuls to give their official aid to the enterprise. '1 his line will be completed during the present year, and by that time there will be a continuous line from the Mediterrcan by India to China, thus connecting the com mercial cities of the Asiatic coast with Eu rope ans America. Severe Hail Storm. CHICAGO, May 7.—A letter from Anna, lotion county, 111., says that place was visited by a fearful hail storm. The hail stones measured from one to two and a half inches in diameter, and not a few as large as a man's fist. The ground was covered in ,-ome places two feet deep. The fruit crop has been almost entirely destroyed. Straw berries were just beginning to ripen, with excellent prospects, but now there will not le half a crop. Nearly all the peaches are knocked off. llow far the storm extended is not known. A Prominent Republican Murdered. ATLANTA, Ga., May 8. —Information has been received here that Radford 0. Rhodes, a prominent Republican of Warren county, was killed at his residence, near Warren ton. on Wednesday night. The last letters Iront that vicinity report continued outrages by prowling bands of Ku-Kiux on both white and black Republicans. To be an avowed Republican iu that county is a pass port to death or violent outrage. CUBAN ANNEXATION.—The Associated Press dispatch relating to the Republican Congress of Cuba declaring for annexation, is discredited in Washington. It is known that there is a strong party among the Pa triots for independence, and that, by gen eral con-ent, the idea of annexation has not been considered an open question. Cuban agents have universally affirmed t hat t Ire object of the revolution Was to ef fect their separation from Spain, leaving the annexation project to settle itself when the island was free. I here has been no concealment of the belief that Cuban in dependence won, annexation to the United States would follow, solicited by the free votes of the Cubans themselves. The great effort of the Patriot leaders has been to prevent the agitation of the subject Quesada, reported elected General-in-Chief is an avowed annexationist, after indepen dence has been secured. Cespedes has been placed at the head of the Republican is OV T' Advices received byway of Florida, indicate the safe arrival within the 1 atnot lines of a vessel from New York loaded with arms and munitions. It is sun posed to be the Grapcthot. A Tornado and Waterspout on the Ohio River. The Louisville Courier gives an account of a destructive hurricane that swept across Kentucky above WicklifTa landing, thirty fire miles up the river, on Wednesday af ternoon. W bile the Leonora was moored attho landing, about 4.30 o'clock, tbo pilot on duty saw two immense clouds come to gether a short distance off. Ln a lew miu utes a terrific hurricane, rendered still more awful by deafening thunder and blinding lightning, rushed with indescribable fury across the river, just above the landing. Immediately on reaching the stream the fierce tornado lifted a great body of the water and hurled it along over the bank, deluging the viciuity and exciting the ut most terror among the people. The path of the hurricane was about one hundred yards in width. Throughout this track for miles on both sides of the river devastation was complete. Houses, trees, fences, ,te.. were uptorn and Mattered like straws in all directions. The air was dense ly filled with huge limbs of trees and other fragments, and the whole region of the storm was in a state of chaos. In the general destruction the dwelling of a Mr. Goeshler was blown down, and that of David Hogan, was completely razed. In the latter house were four or five persons, all of whom were more or less injured. Sid. Lee's barn and a new building near by were unroofed. A lookout station at the landing was blown entirely away. Although the liconora lay some distance below the line of the main hurricane, all of her skylights were shattered, and the glass hurled into the cabin, creating a wild panic among the passengers. If the boat had been within range of the squall she would have gone up the spout teetotally. The most skillful pilot could not have saved her. This terrible blast was followed by rain that fell in torrents and flooded the whole region around. It is difficult to estimate the ex tent. of the injury suffered by the victims of this storm, but it is certainly veiy great. THE SOUTH. —A careful newspaper says' it is found by accurate investigation into the amount of last year's crops and their selling prices, th3t the South "retains about $200,- 000,000 gold front them." This leads us to temark that during a few months past we have been somewhat aston ished to note the evidence of prosperity in the Southern States which are constantly looming up. Fortunately the Southern peo ple have had no credit, they have thus kept out of debt and gone to work, and the re sult is that they now have plenty of money, and their waste places are being once more made productive. The war could not de stroy the Southern soil of climate, and im migration is supplying the plaees of those who fell by disease or battle. COLONEL FORNEY is quite enraptured with North Carolina as a State to raise vege tables and fruit in. In the neighborhood of Wilmington, he says that from a soil here to-fore neglected small fortunes have been gathered by a single crop of radishes, which sell as high as fifteen dollars a barrel at New York and Philadelphia, and are sent fbiward at the rates by the railroad compa nies. Strawberries, tomatoes, asparagus, peas and potatoes are now generally cultiva ted, and the rich are turning their estates, for the first time, to practical uee. We quote the following from his correspondence with the Press: "The owner of a fire acre patch raised and sent to market 150 barrels of radishes at fifteen dollars a barrel, and seventy-fivo barrels of beefs at thirty dollars a barrel: and this was his first trial. Twelve thou sand barrels of peas and an almost equal amount of early potatoes have already been sent forward this season. "The grape culture has been commenced on a stupendous icale. At the Hayne farm, some nine or ten miles from Wilmington, two hundred and fifty acres are planted with the Mish and Catawba and other accepted varieties, and these exclusive of pcaeh trees and the preparation for a large planting of dwarf pears, which ripen in the fall. In deed, this whole country, from Goldsboro to Weldon, and from Goldsboro to Wil mington, is not only adapted to cotton, which is here profitably cultivated, but more to the fruits and vegetables I have named. The yellow pine forests are mag road companies for fuel, and by the increas ing manufacture of turpentine, tar. and rosin, the cleared land becomes immediately available fir more profitable purposes." FOREIGN IMMIGRATION.— There arrived at Netv York, on Monday, 4,440 immigrants from Europe. Immigration this year is ahead of any previous instance. Large numbers come from Germany, and from Ireland the report is that this promises to be the most active year yet known. The regular steamers are all overcrowded, and hundreds arc left behind, camping about in the railway stations and elsewhere, to Ire taken up by the next vessel. Two thous and arrived at Quccnstown on the 17th of April, of which number but one-half were shipped. The counties of Keri v, Tippera ry. Limerick and Waterford, report of the people who arc about leaving, that they are all young and healthy, of the farming and laboring classes, and many of them coming nut to join relatives and friends in America. We welcome the substantial wealth, in la boring industry, of which England is but too willing to get rid. As things are proceeding, it cannot be long before Ireland will be wholly in the I nited States—the free nation at last which it would he, though on a strange but hospitable soil. IN regard to the profits of fruit growing the Norfolk Day Book makes the following interesting statement: We are informed that those skillful and experienced fruit growers, Messrs. Franklin Davis A Co. pur chased, in 1867, a farm on the Brook turn pike, near Richmond, for which they paid twenty-three thousand dollar., ami hare cleared from it by the sale of fruit and strawberries raised upon it, $35,000 ; that they have leased of 31 r. I'etcr La WSOII twen ty-eight acres of land lying upon the same road ; for which they pay SBOO per anuum, and paid him besides sl2 per acre for the growing of wheat upon ir, which they have plowed in; that they sold last year from a farm in Nansemond county a crop of straw berries for SIO,OOO, which oos.t them $3 - 350. On DEN.— Of this new town on the Pa cific Railroad, the point of junction of the two roads, a correspondent of the St. Louis nepublican writes :—"Ogden is about to become the commercial city of the Rocky Mountains. The greatest activity now prevails at the point. When I left work men were busy putting up a sidling or switch, and the work of transferring good materials, tools, boxes, bundels, bales, bar rels, Ac., was going on as though the poo pic were making preparations for an earth quake. Restaurant keepers, peddlers, tra ders, gamblers, loafers, rowdies, ''dead beats, merchants, mechanics, blacksmiths, carpenters, seemed to be running a race to see which could get away from the switch at Taylor s mill the quickest. LIABILITY OK RAILROAD COMPANIES.— A case of much importance to the public, and particularly to railroad companies, was determined before Judge Taylor, in the Common Pleas of Huntingdon county, last week. In Aprii, 1868, a warehouse took fire from the sparks of a locomotive at Mill Creek, which was consumed, setting fire to an adjoining hotel, which, with most of its contents, was also destroyed. Suits were brought by all the parties injured, but all were amicably compromised, except that of - 'J*: Kerr, the occupant of the hotel, on which the parties went to trial, and after a contest of three days the jury awarded sl,- 960. LAIE advices from Louisiana give a cheerful account of the sugar crop. The wet weather has not seriously injured it, and a larger area than usual has been plant ed. As an illustration of the profits of su gar raising, we see it stated that a single plantation in St. Landry, consisting of nine ty acres in cane and eighty in corn returned a net profit of twenty-fivo thousand six hundred and fifty dollars. A COLD climate seems to be favorable to long life. According to a Russian journal, fhe deaths during IBGB at Irkootsk, Siberia, included six persons over 110 years of a ;e. Two had reached their 136 th year, and one died at the age of 131. Three others were more than a ccutury old. BARON ROTHSCHILD'S estate, which has just been settled up, amounted to 340,- <>X>,ooo in gold. From Spain. MADRID, May 7.—A Directory is pro posed, to consist of Serrano, Ilivero, and Olozaga. with Prim at its head as President and Minister of War. In the Constituent Cortes yesterday all of the amendments to the religious clauses of the Constitution were rejected, and the clauses us they originally stood were finally adopted. Virginia State Election. RICHMOND, May 0. —It is stated on good authority that General Canby has fixed the first Tuesday in .July for the elections in Virginia. GRASSHOPPERS have appeared on the Western plains. NORTH CAROLINA has now potatoes. guUTt'ifenmDtu. I IST OF RETAILERS.

AYERS CATHARTIC PILLS. FOR ALL THE PURPOSES OF A LAXATIVE MEDICINE. Perhaps no one medicine is eo universally re quired by everybody as a cathartic, nor was ever any before so universally adopted into use, in every country and among all classes, as this mild but efficient purgative Bill. The obvious reason is, that it is a more reliable and far more effectual remedy than any other. Tho-e whoh&ve used it, know that it cured them: those who have not, know that it cures their neighbors and friends, an l all know tbat what it does once it does al ways- -that it never fails through any fault or neglect of its composition. We have thousands upon thousands of certificates of their remarkable cures of the following complaints, but such cures are known in every neighborhood, and we need not publish them Adapted to all aces and con ditions in all climates: containing neither calomel nor any deleterious drug, they may be taken with safety hj anybody. Their sugar coating preserves them ever fresh and makes them pleasant to take, while being purely vegetable no harm can arise from their use in any quantity. They operate by their powerful influence on the internal viscera to purify the blood and stimulate it into healthy action—remove the obstructions of the stomach, bowels, liver, and other organs of the body, restoring their irregular action to ; health, and by correcting, wherever they exist, ! uch derangements as ar the first origin of die -1 sase. Minute directions arc given in the wrapper on the box, for the following complaints, which these Pills rapidly cure: For or Indigestion, Listless ness, Lan guor and Loin of Appetite, they should be taken moderately to stimulate the stomach and restore its healthy tone and action. For Liver Complaint and its various symptom?, Billons Headache, Sick Headache, Jaundice or Green Bilious Colic and Biliou* Fever*, they should be judiciously taken for each case, to correct the diseased action or remove the obstruc tions which cause it For Dysentery or Dinrrhit , but one inild dose is generally required. For Rhtxr.aatinm, (iout, Grand, Palpitation of the Hearty Pain in the Side, Back aud Loins , they should be continuously taken, as required, to change the diseased action of the system. With "" ' * B imm *1 . * or Dr&pey and DropsicalStcellinys they should be taken in large and frequent doses to produce the effct of a drastic purge. For Suppression* a large dose should betaken as it produces the desired effect by sympathy. As a Dinner Pill, take one or two Pills to pro mote digeation and relieve the stomach. • An occasional d- se stimulates the stomach and i bowels into healthy action, re-tores the appetite, i and invigorates the system. Hence it is often ad j vantageous where n serious derangement exists. ; One who feels tolerably well, often finds that a I dose of these pills makes him feel decidedly bet j ter, from their cleansing and renovating effect on j the digestive apparatus.
