A T. RR., threej and four years ago, that Ac eou'd pufh the road through in/A speed, and have tha cars running in 18 months lime? Did Mr. Miller know what he was talking about then, or was he speak ing for buueotube * These assurances of Mr. Miller have net to the one fourth part been carried out, although he received all the legislation he claimed was necessary to raise the means to go on with the work. Our people paid their stock several years ago, and patiently looked on aud saw their fine farms cut up under the as surances from the President that they should soon be repaid for the great sacrifice by having the road in a few short months. All these promises aud assurances were giveu by Mr. Miller several years before the late panic, aud if only one half met, the road would have been completed, as it might have beeu, and as it should have been, at least 18 mouths before the panic came upon the country t put a temporary stop to all public enter prises. Our people have shown more patience under luese delays and disap pointments thau can reasonably be asked, and there is precious little more of that virtue left iu them, auil for good cause, for they have beeu put to the test too severely. The last report of the Penu'a RR- Company shows that corporation to be on good footing, and declaring a semi annual dividend of 5 per cent. The buildiug of our road is a small afTair for that rich and gigantic company, and the grading being nearly all com pleted westward as far as the Harris township line, what good reason can Mr. Miller give for the present vexa tious delay? That's what the stock holders wish to know, and have a right to know. The farmer has seen his fields despoiled and there they lie thus, without any near prospect of re alizing therefor those indirect benefits which were to follow the early com pletion of the road. The annual election of the stock holders will come off early in June, and we think, with a majority of oth ers interested, that somebody else should take the placa of Geo. F. Mil ler, as President of the road, because, unless we misjudge the man, we be lieve he has shown too little energy and unconcern iu having the work pusued forward. There has been too much liberality on his part in promises and assurances followed by a lack of go-aheadativene-s,and the rate at which the work has progressed thus far, does no credit to President Miller's execu tive ability- There has been enough of hem and haw, aud we want the puff of the locomotive instead. We have no unkind feelings towards Mr. Miller, and esteem him personally, but the tardiness with which aur railroad has been pushed on, has reached that point when we can no longer keep silent, and in the name of tha stock holders we demand immediate and speedy action, and if Mr. Miller cannot put new life into this improve ment, why let him be set aside aud some one be elected President who can. Congreca As the time approaches when the democracy of this district must put in nomination a candidate for Congress, it is proper to look about for the right person. This is the first time for an entire generation when a democratic nomination was equivolent to an elec tion. In looking over the entire dis trict there is but one man whose pre eminent qualifications aud fitness point him out as the proper Btandard bearer of the democracy at the present time, and this is Hon. L. A. Mackcy of Clinton county. Mr. Mackey, it will be remembered by the readers of the Centre Reporter, was the nominee of our party, four years ago, under the old district, which was black as the ace of spades, and .when it required large sacrifice to run upon the democratic ticket. Mr. Mackey was then the only gentleman in the district who would uudertake to face the foe, and although defeated, he made a gallant fight and beat down the radical majority to such a degree as to make Mr. Armstrong, his oppo nent, feel that he made but a hair breadth escape. Now that we for once live in a thoroughly democratic district, we deem it simple justice that Mr. Mackey should again be our standard bearer, and that we tender him that which he alone was willing to shoulder when there was no hope to elect a democrat. So far as our observation goes, we believe this is the feeling of demo crats, and we are not aware that there will be any demociat to contest his nomination, which so far as we know, i generally conceeded. Mr. Mackey possesses all the qual ifications requisite for a member of Congress. He is as conversant with national afiaiis as any gentleman in the district, and is quite a good and ready debater, with sound sense and weight in every sentence that he ut ters, and, as a democrat, souud upon the questions of the day. Upon the in tricate question of our finances, Mr. Ifackey holds views at once iu conso nance with the, great farming, and other iadustrical interests of the coun try. His views were clearly given when a candidate four years ago, in an able speech at the democratic J mass meeting at Centre Hall, ami in other parts of (lie district. Ilia view* upon thia vital topic, are in accord with those of Ohio'a distinguished democrat, Geo. If. lVndleton. Mr. Mackey wa at the head of the Lock Haven Hank, fei a long term of year*, until all those Male iuatitutiona were taxed out of existence by the act cre ating tbu present National Hank ays ; tern, a lyittoi which hi* bank and others were forced into; he has all; i along been unfriend))' to the entire j system, and w ill abandon it at the ; first moment that is atforded by the! necessary legislation, for banks to re turn back as state institutions. Mr. Mackey is a gentleman of the purest chaiactor; large hearted and liberal fat beyond the moat of men of his station. Cultured, high toned and honorable in every respect, the dis trict will be houored with him as its representative. We are glad to see (hat the democracy sectu to jH.iul to him as the proper man for Congress. He will be a uomiuee to whom all houost men, of all parlies, will turn, as one fit to have their suffrages. The Knight Templars at JMle.- foute This ancient and reapectable order met at Hellefonte, in their beautiful regalia and held their 'convocation, occupying the 12, 13 and 14 iust., terminating in a grand parade and banquet. Till) lowu was beautifully aud splen didly dtcoratad with ever-green wreaths, dags bearing auiblauw, aud ensigns, Ac., in every street, and from public and private dwelliugs, and the citizens of the place will be proud of the successful efforts iu their welcome of the "Sir Knights." The origiu of the Crusaders, as the Sir Kuights were called, took place iu the Uuth century (1095) when disor ders of the feudal with the cor ruption of taste and worm*#*, gouse quent upon these, were at their great est excess. From ,'jjnt era we can trace a succession of causes and events that contribute to abolish anarchy and barbarism and introduce order and politeness. Among the few causes, says Dr. Robertson, "we must rank chivalry." The trader could no lon ger travel in safety; rj pot only plundered the merchants, but carried 1 off the women that fell in their way. It became the busiuese of all to dis cover and apply such remedies as would remove the prevailing disor ders. Such was the origin of the hon orable institution, generally represen ted as whimsical. The young War rior among the ancient Germans, as wallas among tha modern Knights, 1 was armed with certain ceremonies proper to inspire martial ardor, hut Chivalry considered as a civil and military institution, is as late aa the, eleventh century. The previous dis- ciplin and solemnities of initiation were many and singular, a.id pone but those of high rank admitted —first iu the character of a Page, afterwards as a Squire ; nor was be admitted to the supreme honor of Knight-hood uutil he had given more striking proofs of his valor and address ; alter answering suitable*questions the usual oath was administered to him, namely, to serve his prince, defend the faith, protect the person* and reputation of virtuous iadies, and to rescue, at all haxard* of bis life, widows, orphans, and all un happy persons groaning under injus tice, and oppression. Then the Knights and ladies who assisted at the ceremo nies, adorned the candidate with the armor and ensigns of chivalry, begin ning with putting on the spurs, and ending with girdling him with the sword, then the person who was to confer the honor of Knighthood, gave him the accolade or dubbing by their gentle strokes with the flat part of the sword on the shoulder, or with the palm on theneck, saying,"ln the uame of God, 3t. Michael and St. George, I make thee a Knight—be thou loyal and brave." Valor, humanity, cour tesy, honor, were the characteristic# of j chivalry, and to these were added re ligion, which were productive of the greatest and.'most permanent effects both upon policy and manners. War wss carried on with less ferocity— humanity no less than courage came to be deemed the ornament of knight hood, a distinction superior to royalty, and an bouor which princes were proud to secure. Courtesy was re commended as the most amiable of Knightly virtues, and every Knight devoted himself to the service of some lady, and violence and oppression decreased. A scrupulous adherence, with the most religious attention to fulfill every engagement, but particu larly to those between the sexes as more easily violated, became the dis tinguishing characteristic of a gentle man, because Chivalry was regarded as a school of honor, and inculcated the most delicate sensibility with re spect to that point, and valor, second ed by so many motives of lave, reli gion aud virtue, became altogether irresistible. The spirit of chivalry of- ten rose to an extravagant height, and Gregory Vli had formed the pro ject of uniting the western Christians against the Mohammetaus in the re covery of the Holy Land ; while the minds of men were thus aroused, a tnonk, commonly called "Peter the Hermit," aided the project of Grego ry VII, leading the forces of Christen dom against the infidels wt) driving them out of the Holy Land. Persons of all ranks flew to arms—computed at three hundred thousand men uuder the command of Peter the Hermit and Walter the Penniless ; reaching the plains of Asia, Solimon, sultan of Nice, fell upon them and slaughtered them. fn Uie tnthe more disciplined soldiers of Hie crn&s the Ca- Jiph of Egypt, and after pi fivp weeks, took the city of Jerusalem and put the garrison and inhabitants to the sword. But this did not end the contest. In 1143 a second crusade was formed under Louis VII of France, which failed. A third crusade was raised to displace the great Haladin who had retaken the Holy City, this army of soldiers of the cross w as under the directions of Philip and Richard kings of France and England, and af ter many severe and bloody battles, they succeeded in throwing the king of Jerusalem into prison. Then Rich ard concluded a truce with that mon arch, stipulating that Plolemais, J op pa and other sea-port towns of l'ales tine, should remain in the hands of the Christians, and every one of that religion should have the liberty to ! perform bis pilgrimage to Jerusalem I unmolested. Another crusade wns | formed under Frederick 11, and those i who took the cross were generally French aud Ocrmau ; these Teutonic i knights —Knights. Templars and Knights Hospitallers, took a vow to combat and defeat the infidels, and in this they were successful, as Freder ick 11 compelled the sultan to cede to him Jerusalem and rts territory and all the country between Jerusa lem, Tyre, Sidon, vie. In return for these concessions a truce was granted the Saracens for Iru years. In 1244 Louis the IX of France makes a vow jto engage iu a new crusade. In 124-'* Ibe sets sail for the relief of lho Holy j I .and, accompanied by his and alt the Knights of Frauoe. lu | 1249 Lou is lauds near the city of Paiuietta, iu Egypt at the head oftfO,- 000 Sir Knights. In 1230 that place is abandoued to him, but afterwards besieger) and retaken in cousetjueuce jof the decrease iu his army, lu 1251 Loyis visits Palestine, remains four years without effecting any thing, and thus ends the last crusade of the btr Knights, being a period of two bun dre I years from its first inception, a spirit that had been produced and uu institution had arisen more hoourable to man than any other merely hu mane—this was the institution of Kuighlhood, which counectcd with ! Christianity. The fiue dispisy qf tV order which we have just seeu, was plrasmg to the uuinitiatcd, mud the Sir Kuights must be gratified with the honors done and civilities exteuded to them ou their re caption and sojourn by the citizens ol Beliefonte.

Mitchell, UtUjet? named in a mortgage dated April Ist, 070. This mortgage was for 51,200,000. The attendance at the sala was large. Mr. Freeman announced the u?rms o{ sale: Twenty thousand dollars cash upon signing the bid, aod rtaidue upon confirmation of rale and ac knowledgement of the deed, provided, however, that the payment of the resi due may be made in such bonds of the said Sunbury and Com pany as are entitled to receive the fiiml a;ifinp from the sale upou its distribution. Several notices of unpaid claims for damages in Miflliu and Snyder coun ties, Ac., were read by different par tie*. Mr. Freeman stated that he had been instructed by Gov. Pollock to announce that the notices will not a flirt the title to the roa4- The sale then commenced. The first bid was $400,000. (Quickly from another part of of the room came the word "one," and the bidding was carried on by two gentlemen in a very spirited manner until the figure reached $551,000. At this price the property was sold. The purchasers were Samuel M. Zulick, Josjib Hart, Daniel Ruck, Joseph D. Thornton, and \V. JJudd Deacan. who are understood te be a committee representing certain bond holders. This is an absolute sale, and renders the stock and all bonds, except those used by the purchasers, worthless. W htlhfr the land damages will come into the distribution, continue to be a lien on the road, or oe thrown out altogether, will now have to be legally decided. The law which will permit a bankrupt railroad company to stave off* the payment of such claims ought to be obliterated from the stat ute books, and one passed making the report of vittwen £r.al aU( I a prior lien against any an<l everything in ( fact placed on the same footing as a mechanic's lien. The Wealth of Pennsylvania. The wealth of Pennsylvania is not ouly immense, it is solid. It is simply impossible to ascertain it within hun dreds, perhaps thousands of millions. The best that can be done with the aid of such slalictics as we have IB to approximate 'it ; that Mr. Bighnm, head of the Bureau of Statistics, has done as well as could be from the in formalioa available. In getting at the wealth of the State (aays the Pituburg Commercial) Mr Bigbam considers the State valuation anil UtjU oif,;le by the United Slates census officer in IAjO. 'i'hc State As sessors, with a solemn and woudenul regard for their oaths, report the real and personal properly of the Slato at 81,171.968,977, while the actual value reported by the United States census officials, with rfb ward or axes to grind is $.'1,475,831,851 -nearly three time tig much as the State assessment. The capital of the two hundred Ra tional Hanks in the State is 8*432,- 913,732.12; of the State bauks, $43.- 255,736,59; and of the savings bank, building and loan associations, and private banks $187,081,332,90. This makes a total of banking capital in Pennsylvania, in various forms reach ing the aggregate of $433,250,801,- 66. fhe value of the railroads of the Slate, canal cou>punies, coal and min ing companies nnj passenger railroads is estimated at a total ot 3,353 J13,- 734,60. Next comes corporations aside from railroads, auch as insurance, water, gtt, express, oil, etc. They represent n total valuation of $20,000,000. Merchant*, wholesale and retail, are put down at $421i,G(H),000. Agricultural and fanu and garden products 1521.078,1149,00, and manu factures of all kind*, $997,050,521 .(*O. These figures tho commissioner colla ted from (he census report of 1870 and they constitute, as ho lias arranged (hem, the moat detailed statement ol tho wealth of Pennsylvania heretofore published. Tho products in kind, and imt in value, as estimated almve, embrace,in bushels, wheat, rye, hai ley, oats, Indian corn, pone, beans, potn* too, hay in tou, butter, cheese, hops, tobacco, wool, Ac. the mineral wealth of l'euusylva ma it is impossible to estimate, but Mr. Hicham trita hi* hand at it for one year, with this result: A t> t it rncitc $85,181,58;t Bituminous. 24,913,272 Oil 29,018,000 Total $129,710,855 The production of iron manufac tures in 1870 was $127,000,0011, ami forty per reut. of increasa siuce would bring the product of 187!t up to the stupendous aggregate of $1 ■ 7,000,000. The product of steel, copper, riue and nickel, new industries in this Btale, fails balow $40,000,000. A large class of minor industries, state, mar ble, limestone, sandstone, fire-brick and many others of like class, afford the Bureau of Statistic* uo date ou which to make a statement, and, there fore, the Commissioner estimates these product* at $20,000,000. If we aggregate all these figures to get at the total wealth of our grand old State, we tiud that it reaches near ly seven thousand millions ol dollars, quite au encouragiug sum ier the new constitution to start into the business of government with, backed as it is by the mind aud muscle of not less than fout millions of human being*.
