William Lilly, , Illinois The boasting and - vaporing as to "Repub lican" prospects is only equalled by the man ifold roorbacks put forth to bring about suc cess. Commenting upon this broggadocio of the fusion press and its itinerantictter writers through Southern Illinois, the De Soto (Jack son co.) Farmer, a neutral paper, thus re marks upon the complexion of things in that region : "But few republicans can be found in this part of the State, and the leaders of that par ty, who expect a heavy vote to be polled in this district for any of their candidates, are `reckoning without their host.' The Demo cracy arc a unit—the action of the Cincin nati Convention has harmonised all conflicting interests, and the nominaton of Buchanan and Brcekinridge is everywherereceived with the liveliest satisfaction. It is useless for Re publican editors in Central Illinois to persist in asserting that the nomination was a 'wet blanket', to the friends of Douglas, and that they will give Buchanan but little support; on the contrary, these men ore going into the contest with a hearty good will, and will bear the brunt of the battle. Our opportunities for learning the feelings of the people of this district on this subject have been ample, and we must say we have never heard of any po litical party that was more united. Mr. Fill more has deservedly many warm friends in this district, and appearances indicate that the bulk of the opposition vote will be cast for him. Should ne see fit to withdraw from the field, the majority of his friend will doubtless support Buchanan. This is an un biassed statement of affairs at the present time, and we are led to make it from the fact that many opposition editors north of us have been led to believe to the contrary, and labor under the delusion that republicanism is ram pant here. We should think the presence of but one or two self-appointed delegates from so large a district at their Bloomington Con vention, would, have opened their eyes to the truth.' What is said. of Abolition vaporing above applies equally to every section of Illinois.— At no former period, says the 's'pr/7/field Reg ister, have the national nominations of the Democracy been 7:cceived by the Democrats of Illinois with more enthusiasm and with a feeling of determination to give them a hear ty support. North, south, east and west, the response of the press and of the people has been that the Convention did a good work, andlhat both would labor unremittingly un til the close• of election day to give the ticket an overwhelming majority. To show the feeling among the -regular Whigs of Illinois, it may be mentioned that Robert S. Blackwell, Esq. of Chicago, a strong and influential manovim was one of the Scott electors in 1852, and the Whig candi date for .Congress two years ago, has come out for Buchanan and Breckinridge. In fact, the Illinois Whig nominees for Governor, Secreta ry of State, and two of the electors in 1852 now go with the Democracy. Latest From California. Raw Tons, June 2S.—The Illinois arrived this morning, bringing $2,270,000, and nine hundred and fifty passen gers: She connected at the Isthmus with the Golden Ago, which brought down $2,058,000. Principal consignees: Drexel & Co., $560,000 ; Metropolitan Bank, $lOO,OOO ; Wm. Hoge, $126,000; Charles Morgan, $100,000; Thomas Watson, $25,000; Wells, Fargo & Co., $lBO,OOO. The Steamer Sierra Nevada, over due irons Nicaragua t had not arrived at San Francisco when the Golden Gate left. Immediately on her arrival she was to be dispatched with troops to General Walker. The papers are tilled with matters concerning the rev olutionary state of affairs. At San Francisco, Casey and Cora were hung, by the Vigilance .Committee, at the same time that the funeral rites of King were being performed. The placo of execu tion was surrounded by two thousand bayonets. Ex-Judge Ned 31:Gowan, formerly of the police at Phil adelphia, had been indicted by the Grand Jury as access ory to the murder of King, but escaped. The Vigilance Committee had arrested several ballot box tltuffers and desperadoes, and also obtained possession of the fraudulent ballot-box, an ingenious construction. The most astounding election frauds have been revealed. On the 2d of Juno the opponents of the Vigilance Commit tee held a mass meeting in the Plaza, first warning, by printed placards, the friends of the Committee not to en ter the Plaza during the meeting. The effect of this was to show the real strength of the law and order party. About two thousand were present. No violence, but much confusion. Resolutions were passed calling upon the people to resist the Vigilance Committee. Judge Terry, of the Supreme Court, had issued a habeas Corpus demanding the prisoners in the hands of the corn mittee,.but the wait was resisted. On the 3d, the Governor issued a proclamation declaring the country in a state of insurrection, and authorizing tho Major Gen. of the Second Division of the State Militia to raise an army to preserve law and order. This action did not alarm the committee. They have five thousand men fully equipped, ready for instant action, being thoroughly organized, in constant drill for two weeks, under competent officers. Men, money and munitions of war from all parts of the State, are at their command, and it is confidently believed the Governor's efforts will amount to nothing. The vol unteer military companies of San Francisco and Sacra mento have disbanded in order to avoid being called out by the Governor. It is reported, however, that twelve hundred mon are enrolled under the Government author ities, No collision was anticipated. A petition, numerously signed, was in circulation, asking the Governor to call an extra session of the, Legislature. The. Vigilance Committee deny having anything to do with this petition. The San Francisco "H'erald" is the only journal which opposes the Committee. It puts a different coloring on the state of affairs. It soya tile Gov ernor's proclamation is largely responded to,, that citizens are largely pressing forward to enroll themselves under the authorities ; that on the 4th of Juno fifteen hundred wore enrolled; That by Saturday ten thousand would be In arms on the side of law and order, and three divisions of tho State Militia have been ordered out, and many new companies of volunteers are forming. Markets at San Francisco are very dull. Money tight. Dates from Panama to the 19th contain nothing iMpor taut. Mr- Crowine. United States Commissioner to in quire into the Panmuna riot, was at his post busy with his investigations. The Star says the testimony so far collect ed affords overwhelming proof of the brutality and un provokedness of the attack on the passengers, and the complicity of the police and other authorities. THE GLOBE Huntingdon, Wednesday, July 2, 1856 Huntingdon and Broad Top Rail Road, Coal Baines, &c Broad ToP, since the construction of the Huntingdon and Broad Top Mountain Rail Road, has obtained a place on the map ; is much talked of, much criticised, much abused, and perhaps, betimes, overrated. Be this as it may, we purpose giving our impression of this region, regarding its prospects and pres ent growth, without offering to speculate upon the nominal value of the thousands • of acres of land with their inexhaustible veins of iron ore and coal. A few years ago Broad Top was a poor, barren, almost inaccessible mountain, inhab ited by a hardy race of pioneers who support ed themselves by raising Buckwheat and manufacturing Hickory Brooms. Land rated at from fifty cents to three dollars per acre, and dull sale at that. To get to it was diffi cult, owing to the roads leading thereto being so " hard to travel ;" and to live, after get ting there, was, if possible, still more so.— Thanks to this " age of improvement" and the energy of our citizens, all obstacles have been removed, and the road made as " easy" as the boy knew his daddy. Instead of, as heretofore, going to an immensity of trouble to provide yourself with a double elliptic spring waggon, and a horse of herculean strength and " good bottom" to overcome the rugged mountain roads, you have only to re port yourself to the gentlemanly conductor of the " Broad Top" Passenger Car, Mr. Mort rasox, (a Worthy man, by the way, and a clever fellow, for he treats an Editor just as if he was a gentleman) who takes you in charge and with " Meteor" speed transports you to Saxton, the terminus of Passenger travel, for the present, on this road. Saxton is located on the smith bank of the Raystown Branch, on the Huntingdon and Broad Top Railroad, and at the junction of the Hopewell and Shoup's Run branches of said road. The view from the " Saxton House" is lovely, and to the romantic, would well repay a visit. The lady hostess will treat you well, and make you feel, without an effort, as if you were at home. Even " pay ing the bill" is a pleasant operation, as the financier is a beautiful young lady (we do not know her name) of very pleasing man ners: In addition to the Hotel, there is a large brick store house and dwelling attach ed. erected and occupied by Messrs. FOCKLER & SAXTON. Several dwelling houses are com pleted and occupied, and we observed many more in process of erection. But we must go on, as we wish to look at the much talked of coal region, the real g,en nine cut-and-cut "Broad Top." We consult Sam how to proceed. Not " Sam" of Dark Lantern notoriety—the defunct Know-Noth ing—but SAM, the conductor of freight cars from Saxton to the mines and return. Sam's accommodations for passengers are none the best, but his favors are dispensed with such good grace, and his charge so moderate—" free gratis fir nothing"—that few find fault with a seat on the "grub beam" ~o f a coal car or the "tank" of a locomotiv2e engine. This latter seat is generally reserved for the ladies, as it is at the disposal of the Engineer and Fireman who pride themselves on doing the agreeable to the " Fair Sex." We arrive at the mines. Right and left the coal is thun dering down ; men with dark faces, skull caps and lights on the " top of their heads" are flitting from place to place, presenting a scene of active life, energy and business only equaled by sailors in a thunder storm. The first mine we visited was Messrs. KESSLER, WHITNEY G - ; Co's. This mine is in full operation, is shipping from 50 to 75 tons coal each day, with a fair prospect of increas ing their shipments to treble that amount ere long. We did not go into the mine but were informed by the operators that the vein was good and easily mined. We, however, are of opinion that the " outside fixtures" do not correspond with the business to be done.— The platform is too small, only large enough to contain sufficient coal to load one or two cars at a time ; in emasequence of which in the absence of cars for a day or even less, they are compelled to stop their mine. The next mine, as we proceed on our way upwards, and a very good one, too, if we may be allowed to judge by the quantity of coal brought out of it, is that of Messrs. MAGUIRE & PORT. At present they are shipping about 75 tons coal per day, and we learn, could do more, if their platform or shipping apparatus was larger. This platform is similar to Messrs. KEssuen. & Co's, and is liable to the same ob j ections. • A short distance above, we come to Messrs. POWEL, SAXTON & Co's mine. The vein in this is similar to that in those we have been describing, ranging from 4A to 5 feet in depth and as wide as the mountain. The coal is of a fine quality and answers well for Locomo tives, Puddling Furnaces and Blacksmith pur poses. All the mines we have noticed con tain the same quality of coal. The outside fixtures, platform, &c., of this mine are com mensurate with the intention of the proprie tors. They purpose doing a large business and have made " arrangements accordin'."— The platform is 00 feet long and about 20 feet high, and is capable of holding four hun dred tons coal. It convoys the idea of per manency and capacity to do business. We were shown through this mine through the politeness of Mr. MILES Mclluan, am? was surprised to find so many people contentedly burrowing in the earth so fax from the "light of day." Mr. McHugh explained everything as we passed along so clearly that we, even we, underst:md their modus operandi. Messrs. Pow Er.., xrox Co. c•an compliment them selves on having ;irocured the services of a man so well versed in the business, and a per fect gentleman withal. This mine, like the rest, is carried on rapidly,—ships a great quantity of coal—from 60 to 80 tons per day, and still their customers are like the horse leech, crying " give, give." We would infer from this that the article " takes well." The next mine we visited belongs to Messrs. ORBISON & DORRIS. Here we find an excel lent vein, being more perfectly developed than any other vein we believe on •Broad Top. The coal mines well, has a beautiful appearance, and proves entirely satisfactory to consumers. They just got into operation, having a hook full of " orders" and demand increasing. Their outside fixtures are better adapted for business than any other of the mines except " Powelton Colliery." The platform is large and very convenient. This speaks well for our enterprising townsmen, and we wish them abundant success. At the time we write the Road 18 not finished further up than Messrs. ORBISON & DORRIS' coal mine, but the Company are pushing— the "work goes bravely on," and will be com pleted to Broad Top City, the terminus of Shoup's Run branch, in a short time. Several little towns have sprung up like mushrooms idong the route of the Rail Road, which, together with the Hopewell Branch, &c., &c., we will take occasion to notice in another article. For Bedford The Broad Top Passenger Cars now con nect with a daily line of coaches to Bedford, some miles above Saxton, on the Hope - well Branch. Persons visiting the Springs will hereafter take this route, it being the short est and the best. Come along, now, ye den izens of " brick and mortardom," ye who pant for the cooling breeze and wholesome water and admire the magnificent scenery of our mountain region—come along, we say, and all these things, with invigorated consti tutions, shall be added unto you. Passen gers on their way to Bedford. Springs might pass a few days very pleasantly in Hunting don. We have here a few very good hotels, with landlords and fare to match—our citizens in sociability and kind and generous atten tions to strangers and visitors are celebrated —while the town itself for beauty and clean liness will favorably compare with any other in the State we know of. If you are not in a hurry, you had better stop and test the truth of what we say ; but if you arc, you can be transported to Bedford in "a little loss than no time" with all the ease and elegance that can reasonably be expected. Daily Mall to Bedford A daily mail is now carried over the Hun tingdon and Broad Top Railroad as far as it is completed, and from thence by coaches to Bedford. McConnellstown, James Creek, Coffee Run, Stonerstown, Coalmont, Ala grippa, the Broad Top Mining Region . , Bloody Run, and several other offices on the route in Bedford county are now accommodated with a daily mail by this arrangement. ARRESTED.---JIM Davis, the murderer of Johnston, at Hollidaysburg, was arrested on Monday a week at Saltsburg, Indiana county, brought back and securely ensconced within the walls of the Blair county jail, to await his trial, &c. Hawker, the assassin of Davis, at Williams burg, was arrested at Germantown, and taken through this place on Monday evening to Hollidaysburg. CORRESPONDENCE OF THE GLOBE. EDITOR. OF Tll2 GLOBE :—ln my last I prom ised to furnish you with a note of my obser vations in Tell and Dublin townships. The latter forms the southern ultima-thole of our county, and is bounded cast and south by Franklin and Fulton. Tell lies nearly north of Dublin and it is bounded north and cast by Juniata and Franklin. On the 15th inst., the time of my visit to Tell, the crops look favorable. Many rye fields promised to yield abundantly, and the wheat was thought to be as good as usual. The corn at that time, was as far advanced as in other places where the soil is better. Here we find a limestone gravel, and in places a warm sandy soil, where corn in a cold damp season would be more likely to grow early, than in other places where the land is more productive. A considerable por tion of this township is broken and so varia ble that in my rapid transit across it, I can not give you an accurate account of the na ture of the soil. however, like the hills in Yankeedom, it is better adapted to pasturage than tillage, but the time will yet come when chemistry and a knowledge of practical agri culture, will enable the farmers to see their harvests plenty,—see their " cattle upon a thousand hills," and theniselves as independ ent as Scotch Highlanders, and as patriotic as the men of Grutel. But I anticipate, and must turn back to things as they are. Apples are plenty ; other fruits are not abundant.— In this rural district the fruit trees, orchards, denote a great age, but are not well pruned and cultivated. There is a Female Seminary at Nossville, and I understand that it is well patronized by the community. A charter has been granted, and an experiment survey made for a railroad from Duncannon or Fishing Creek below it, through this region, to the south sido of Broad Top, and some men are san guine of its ultimate success. Dublin possesses clay, slate, and limestone land—generally a light soil that will require an effort to improve it. There are fine fields of wheat, rye and elover in this region, and well tilled farms, which show that effort will lead to success. Fruit in this township ap pears plenty and here I find peach trees hang ing full, and this is the only place in my travels where I have found peaches. Both of these townships possess numerous tanneries, with large quantities of oak tim ber and bark. This is made an important branch of industry, and it adds largely to the wealth and resources of the district. I shall now call your attention to one fact which may or may not be new to you and to them; at any rate it is worthy of attention. These numerous tanneries accumulate large banks of spent tart. This spent bark by itself is unfit to be applied to land, until it has lain for a half century, and itevast accumulations become a burden to the tanner. The sorrel upon this very soil, and its barrenness indi cates a want of lime. Now the best way in the world to put lime upon land is to mix it with spent tan, and let it lie in heaps until it forms a compost. This requires about two years. By mixing one bushel of lime with about five of newly spent tan, or less lime if the tan has lain and entered into a partial decay,—a sneedy decomposition takes place and the whole mass is so much reduced in quantity that the work of shoveling, hauling and applying, is greatly facilitated. The lime performs its destined mission, the decay ed tan serves as a valuable manure, and its woody fiber is needed upon a stony soil, to retain moisture at the surface, and upon a clay soil to loosen, enrich, and promote vege table growth. In this way the tanner may be relieved of his burden of spent tan, the land which requires it, be resuscitated, and the lime more advantageously applied. The Academy at Shade Gap is flourishing, and my visit to it leads me to believe that it is under the care of an able faculty. The situation is healthy and retired, yet accessi ble, and its many students in a cheerful emu lation appear attached to the institution.— This school is a credit to the place and the county, and it is destined to send out many students into spheres of honor and useful ness. Many young sons of genius that now cluster around their preceptor, and look for ward to their Alma-Mater with high hopes are destined to wield an influence more pow erful than that of the bayonet, and more glo rious than that of conquest. And many others with less success, or failing of a colle giate course, will in times yet to come con over volumes of forgotten lore, and look back with delight upon this Institution and the everlasting rocks of Shade. In my next I shall give you a note of Spring field, Clay and Cass townships. Yours, INDIAN. Line upon Line—Mere and There a Little. Extensively puffed—The Broad Top Coal.

UM-Truth is like a torch—the more it is shaken the more it shines. But it sometimes burns people's noses ? Can't help that—such noses had better keep out of the way. ,The democracy of Blair county rati fied the nominations of Buchanan and Breck inridge by a meeting at Hollidaysburg on the 21st ult. The meeting was large and enthu siastic, and indicated the feelings of the peo ple generally in regard to "Pennsylvania's favorite son." STRANGE EVENTS.—An exchange records the marriage of John M. Strange and Elisa beth Strange. The next event worthy of no tice will probably be a little stranger. te,..While, on Broad Top sonic time slice we were shown by an acquaintnnce a song ster called " The Broad Top Mocking Bird," supposed not to be an inhabitant of any other region. Natural history, however, we think, would give it a more universal habitation, and quite a different name. We will defer a de scription of the bird. FREEDOM or SrßEen.—A few days ago "an outrage" was committed in the good city of Cincinnati, and no public meeting, so far as we know, has yet been called to take the matter into serious consideration. A Demo cratic orator was cruelly stabbed by a bloody Know-Nothing, while exercising the right of "free speech." .11EY''Our new dress came from the foundry • of L. Johnson & Co., Philadelphia.

D'ye mind the time, George, that we "controlled" you, by kicking you out of the Democratic party? It was too bad, wasn't it, George? But we learn that you have been kicked out of several places since. Does the remembrance of these things hurt your feel ings? Don't it? And then to see the old Globe and Bill Lewis look so sleek-like, in this the day of your tribulation, is worseyet—but we can't help it—it's the fault of that old head; a new one, like yours, might find itself in the gutter, and then there would be two of them 'just so.'
