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.

Immediately on her arrival she was to be dispatched

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

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.
