CORRESPONDENCE OF THE GLOBE.
DEAR GLOBE : Unexpectedness would seem
to be a considerable element in the make-up
of yours truly. Hence it is, that, yesterday,
I was in the town of Harrisburg, sitting rev
erently in kirk, (but that was to be expected,)
whereas, at this present writing, (and with
the best reason for so doing—being hungry,)
I dine with mine hostess of the Tip-top Hotel
of the aspiring city of Broad Top—a con
summation to which 4th of July aspirations
are tending from the region roundabout.—
And a unique spot it is, and fitting withal
for such occasion. The Spirit of Indepen
dence nestles on mountain-tops—saith spread
eagle oratory ; though, methinks, her eyry is
not always approached with so many back
switches as the comers here will find between
Minerswille and their dinner on the 4th prox
11=0. 'The most picturesque points on the B.
T. Railroad are along the new section. The
trestle-work below Saxton is rather uppish,
to be sure ; but the zig-zag swing of the road
along the mountain-side causes you to feel
that you are getting decidedly high,—and
that no greater elevation may be attained by
fellow-citizens attending said celebration, is
devoutly to be wished. And I would here
interject a reminder that, there is a first-class
spring in the vicinity of the hotel, whose
brook, as you approach, runs glancing along
beneath ake good greenwood. It is the be
ginning of ,Shonp's Run; but deserves a more
graceful appellation, and with your kind ap
proval, shall henceforth wear the baptism of
the Sparkler. And, it is trusted, that the la
dies who ramble along its mossy banks, shall
oxperience full satisfaction in finding the
sparks." That's all,

BROAD Tor, Juno 20, 1857
MAX. GREENE.
Sherman's Valley and Broad Top Rail-
This road, lying between the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad on the south, and the
Pennsylvania Central Railroad on the north,
will make when constructed, one of the most
direct and favorable routes known from New
York city to Cincinnati, St. Louis and all
other important points in the great West.—
It will also bring Philadelphia into closer
connection with western interests and create
a vast amount of trade hitherto considered
as visionary.
It commences at the mouth of Fishing
creek, about six miles above this place, on
the west side of the Susquehanna river, at
which point it joins the Northern Central
and Pennsylvania Central Railroads, and
runs directly west, intercepting in its course
a number of small towns, from each of
which a large amount of freight and passen
gers will inevitably accrue.
The lumber business is also an important
item, and will greatly increase the local traf
fic, as there are thousands of acres of beau
tiful timber, now completely valueless for
want of a market; and the immense mineral
wealth of the section through which it passes,
the unparalleled advantages which it pos
sesses in water power, and the fact of it
bringing the Broad Top coal fields thirty
miles nearer market than any present or pro
posed route, leave us in no doubt as to the
practibility of its speedy completion.
The distance from Harrisburg to Broad
Top, by way of Huntingdon, is one hundred
and twenty seven miles, whilst, by the pro
posed route, it will only be ninety-nine miles.
The entire length of the road from the mouth
of Fishing creek to the Pittsburg and Con
nellsville Railroad at Bridgeport, would be
about one hundred and forty-one miles, which,
when completed, will form the connecting
link between New York and Cincinnati, the
whole distance being only seven hundred
and eighteen miles. From New York to
Cincinnati, by way of Albany, Buffalo, Cleve
land and Columbus, the distance is nine hun
dred and twenty-two miles, thus actually
saving by the construction of this road, two
hundred and four miles.
It will be seen, from the comparative dis
tances, that this road possesses superior ad
vantages over any other route leading from
Philadelphia or New York to the West; and
the completion of the Ohio and Mississippi
and other railroads, promise a large acces
sion of both Southern and Western trade,
which will undoubtedly prove of great bene
fit to the State.
The maximum grade east is 52 8-10 feet
to the mile, and the estimated cost per mile,
including rolling stock, motive power, &c.,
sufficient to do the business of the road the
first year after opening, is $26,000, mak
ing the total cost for one hundred and forty
one miles $3,666,000. The amount of busi
ness the second year will no doubt require
an increase of the rolling stock, motive pow
er, &c., say $l5OO per mile, making the ag
mre.nte cost of the whole road, when e) b`
fin
ished, $3,877,560.—Patri0t d Union.
Democratic Triumphs.
It is a cheering omen to find in our ex
changes the accounts of democratic triumphs
all over the country. Wherever an election
has been held since the great and decisive
battle in November, 1856, when black-repub
licanism and blacker know-nothingisni were
routed by the democratic legions, we have the
cheering news that democracy is upward and
onward. Whether these elections are held
in the old States, or in the far-off, but mighty
West,
.the democratic column moves onward
to certain victory, like an invincible army.
In lowa, where but one short year ago the
dark banner of black-republicanism waved
in dismal triumph, and the enemies of true
republicanism exulted with almost fiendish
pleasure, the "sober second thought" of the
people has brought back that young State to
the democratic standard, and given an ear
nest to the world that the days of fanaticism,
treason and folly are numbered in that noble
State. In Minnesota, too, we find the democ
racy of that growing Territory covering them
selves with imperishable glory, by their splen
did majorities for the democratic candidates
who are to be entrusted with the important
duty of forming a constitution for a future
democratic State.
In the older western States the same cheer
ing prospects are observable; and democratic
triumph succeeds triumph, in quick succes
sion, so as to make the heart of the patriot
leap with joy, as he recounts the progress of
great truths over error, right over might, and
reason over frenzy and fierce fanaticism.
In the recent result in the Old Dominion,
that Gibralter of democracy, the combined
elements of opposition to our principles have
met with a signal defeat.
In Pennsylvania we find the pitiful spec
tacle exhibited daily, of an abortive attempt
on the part of the scattered fragments of the
once powerful, but treasonable band of mid
night conspirators, yclept know-nothings, to
galvanize the monster into life for another
contest with the friends of law, order and
right; but we see in the distance the hand
writing on the wall, so plainly, that "be who
runs may read" the fate that awaits those
who are engaged in this effort to rule, or ruin,
if they cannot rule. The democracy of Penn
sylvania, at this moment stronger than they
were a year ago, will seize with giant grasp
the traitorous hosts of black-republicans, and
the wasted hordes of know-nothings, and
crush them to atoms. It needs but the for
malities of an election to be gone through
with, to complete their fate, and furnish an
other evidence to the world that on the genial
soil of Pennsylvania no political heresy can
long exist when reason is left free to combat
it—that the democracy of the Keystone State
are true to the ancient faith of their fathers,
and that when Pennsylvania swings from her
democratic moorings, then indeed is the re
public in danger. The result in October
next, in Pennsylvania, will but add another
to the record of splendid victories so often
achieved by the indomitable democracy of
the land of Penn,

POISONING FRO3I AN APPLE BUTTER CROCK.
--It has recently come to light that the long
illness of Mrs. Joseph Alexander, from which
she has just recovered, was caused by some
apple butter, received from a friend in the
country, which had been poisoned by the gla
zing of the crock. Mr. Alexander and some
other members of his family were also affec
ted, though not so seriously, and still feel the
effects of it in a general prostration of the
system. The glazing in crocks is well known
to be of a poisonous nature, but is only injur
ious when loosened by the heated apple but
ter and mixed with it.—Letoistozon, Ga

POISONING OF A WHOLE FAMILY BY SLAVES.
—The family . of Edward Gill, of Chester

ago one of Mr. G.'s little children died, and
that subsequently himself, wife and five chil
dren were taken sick, and another child
died. A large number of physicians were
summoned, and on instituting a search they
found in the apartment of the cook and two
other slaves a quantity of the carbonate of
lead and sugar of lead, both slow but deadly
poisons, which the wretches, no doubt, had
been from day to day mixing with the food
of the unsuspecting family, as it was not
until Saturday last that they were supposed
to be suffering from poison. Two of the
children are still lying in a precarious condi
tion. The slaves are in jail.
LOOK Our YE GIRLS AND BOYS !-A case of
breach of promise of marriage has recently
been tried at Rochester, N. Y., (a great place
by the way for novelties,) in which the fol
lowing is given as the substance of the
Judge's charge to the jury:
"The Judge charged that it was not neces
sary to maintain the existence of a promise
of marriage to prove that defendant in ex
press words or terms made a promise to
plaintiff. Any circumstance which usually
accompany parties while holding the relation
of an engagement of marriage, might prop
erly be laid before a jury, and if sufficient to
warrant the opinion that such an engage
ment existed, it was all the law required.—
It is not necessary that there should be a
promise of marriage in direct phraseology—
no formal promise is required. Frequent
visits of the parties—retiring from the so
ciety of others—seeking to be apart by them
selves—expressions of attachment—presents
—going together to places of amusement—
walks and occasional remarks in hearing of
others, are circumstances usually relied upon
to prove that a marriage engagement exists,
and if such are strong enough to produce
conviction upon the mind, they are all that
is necessary to answer the law."
Well Done, Minnesota!
The Minnesota papers bring us gratifying
accounts of the recent triumph of the Democ
racy in that territory, in the election of dele
gates to Corm a state constitution. The St.
Paul's Pioneer says, that in the "Stillwater
District, the Democracy have elected their en
tire ticket of six delegates. St. Paul district
has been equally successful, annihilating the
Black Republican and all other opposition.
The Democracy throughout the territory have
elected thirty five delegates, and the Black
Republicans, only eleven, which may be set
down as a signal victory. Minnesota sends
greeting to the National Democracy of the
Union, the glorious intelligence, that another
star—a North Star—will speedily be added
to the brilliant galaxy of Democratic States."
The opposition made desperate efforts to
carry the election. Abolition orators were
imported to preach treason and nullification;
but in the districts visited by them, the De
mocracy have uniformly gained. Is not this
a glorious commentary on the intelligence
and patriotism of the people. The issues in
volved in the election were misrepresented—
the principles of the Democratic party mis
stated and slandered by these importations,
but all to no purpose.
The Steamer Montreal Burnt—:-Tcsiti
Hundred Lives Ll6St
QUEBEC, June 27.—The steamer Montreal
was burnt yesterday, near here. Two hun
dred passengers were drowned or burnt to
death. Mostly Scotch emigrants:
[SECOND DISPATCII:]
MONTREAL, June 27.—The steamer Mon
treal, the account of the loss of which has
already been telegraphed from Quebec, con
tained 500 passengers, and only 175 are known
to have been saved—about 200 of the passen
gers have been drowned. It is believed, how
ever, that many swam ashore, and were saved
in other ways. The accident happened near
Cape Rouge, between Montreal and Quebec.
[LATEST.]
NEW YORK, June 27.—The captain and
crew of the Montreal are among the number
saved. Later advices say that the number
that perished will reach 350.
[PARTICULARS.]
QUEBEC, June 27.—The steamer Montreal
left at four o'clock, yesterday afternoon, for
Montreal, with four or five hundred passen
gers, mostly Scotch immigrants, recently from
Europe. Nothing unusual occurred until the
Montreal reached Cape Rouges, 12 or 15
miles above Quebec, when the wood-work
near the furnaces were discovered to be on
fire. Quickly after the flames broke forth,
causing the utmost consternation amongst the
passengers. Every effort was made to arrest
the flames, but to no purpose. Capt. Rudolph,
finding it impossible to save the steamer, or
dered her to be run toward the shore. The
officers and crew exerted themselves, at the
same time, to get out the life-boats. The
flames spread with most astonishing rapidity,
and the wildest confusion and despair pre
vailed throughout the ship. Numbers of pas
sengers threw themselves overboard and were
drowned. Fortunately, the steamer Napo
leon, also for Montreal, was but a few miles
advanced, taking a boat, and put back with
all possible expedition to her assistance, the
Napoleon succeeded in rescuing from the
burning wreck 127 passengers. Capt. Ru
dolph and the purser of the Montreal were
amongst those who threw themselves into the
river; both were excellent swimmers, and
,succeeded in reaching the steamer Alliance,
and were saved.
It is quite possible others succeeded in
saving themselves by swimming, but as the
steamer became unmanageable when a con
siderable distance from land, there is no doubt
that most of those who threw themselves from
the burning boat met with a watery grave.—
Sixteen of those who were saved died shortly
after reaching . the deck of the Napoleon.—
From present information it is believed that
the total loss of life by this terrible disaster
will not fall short of 300 or 400. The steamer
Alliance arrived here this afternoon with 45
dead bodies. We have not been able to learn
the names of any of those lost, except Mr.
Phillips. The extensive lumber firm of Nor
cross and Phillips, of Three Rivers, Montre
al, had on board 258 Scotch emigrants, seve
ral German families, and severa American
passengers.

Under the above caption the Goldsboro'
(S. C.) Tribune of a late date, gives the fol
lowing a prominent position in its editorial
columns :
A swindling rascal, wearing the garb and
address of respectability, came to our town
last week, rented stables for a dashing estab
lishment, engaged board, &c., &c., simply as
a cloak to his swindling operations. He then
learned the name of one of our.best and most
industrious mechanics, who, he had learned
had a fine gold watch, and bargained for it
at $lOO, telling the owner to meet him at his
boarding house, and he--the swindler, would
take the watch and pay the money. Me
chanic went, swindler could not then pay
the money, but wanted to wear the watch
till Monday. Owner consented, and swin
dler took the 9 o'clock cars on Saturday, on
his way north, leaving our friend the me
chanic minus his gold watch.
Swindler is about five feet, six or seven in
ches high, has light auburn hair, fair com
plexion, blue eyes, thin visage, is of slender
form and genteel appearance. lie wore a
black frock coat, black pants, black figured
vest, and a mixed straw hat; also a gold-like
breast pin, a small vine crossing it, and a
guard chain hooked to a button hole in his
vest. He has a somewhat timid appearance,
with downcast look, and is a downright vil
lain, whom every honest man should delight
to capture and bring to justice. Will the
press generally, and our exchanges particu
larly, give the villain a lift, and request
their exchanges to do the same. Let the
press have the honor of catching him.
THE NEW ARCTIC EXPEDITION.—Capt. Mc-
Clintock, the commander of the new expedi
tion in search of what may be learned of Sir
John Franklin, has addressed a letter to Mr.
S. R. Grease, of this town, giving, in answer
to inquiry, several interesting particulars of
the proposed enterprise. We give an extract
or two. Captain McClintock says :"I intend
to sail, about the first of June, from Aber
deen, and proceed to Barrow Strait; ascertain
that the provisions, stores, and boats left at
Fort Leopold and Beeching Island by the re
cent searching expeditions are in good order,
in the event of my having to fall back upon
them ; examine the state of the ice in Peel
Strait, and, if practicable to proceed down it
into the unknown area. Should I not suc
ceed here, I intend to return to Fort Leopold
and proceed down to Prince Regent's Inlet to
Bellot Strait, and there make another attempt
to pass into and through the field of search
to Victoria Land, where I shall winter, and
in the spring, before the thaw sets in, com
plete the entire exploration and search by
means of sledges drawn by men and by dogs.
Should I not succeed in reaching Victoria
Land, I will return to Bellot Strait to pass
the winter.
The means of accomplishing Lady Frank
lin's object, the completion of the search, and
now placed at my disposal, are ample. The
vessel is'a, three masted screw schooner yacht,
with fore topsail and topgallant sail; the top
sail reefs from the deck; she is decidedly a
clipper—diagonically built, 132 feet long
over all, 320 tons builders measurement,
with a light draught of water; trunk engines,
of thirty horse power; crew numbering 50
individuals, including an Esquimaux inter
preter. Almost all will be old shipmates of
my own in former Arctic voyages; they shall
be fed and clothed as in the government ex
peditions, and receive double pay. I there
fore anticipate no difficulty in keeping up the
same discipline as that which we found to
answer so well in the three arctic expeditions
in which I have served. The vessel will car
ry five weeks' fuel for full speed, and two
and a half years provisions—being enough
to last us for a second winter, should we un
avoidably be detained.—London Times.

ekTIIARINE M. GWIN, widow of Alexander (.3i win, Esq.,
deed., aged about 43 years. •
In this borough, on Friday, last, Mr. IfEsny KEN, aged
about 24 years.
From the Lecompton (Kansas) Union
Departed this life on the 11th day of June, inst., in this
city, in the 48th year of his age, Miertm. Alusrmt: Itonnr-
CUE, M. D., late of Hollidaysburg, Pa.
The Union remarks upon the Dr.'s death as follows:
"He was the first settler of this place, and his loss to
our city and community is irreparable—to his esteemed
and afflicted family, beyond comprehension. To a marked
amiability of character, be added the highest order of sci
entific acquirement in his profession. Such a man lie was,
that for his loss a bereaved family may indeed weep, a
large circle of friends be afflicted, and the whole country
mourn. His disease was gastritis. Tranquil in the integ
rity of a good conscience, and the hopes of Christianity,
he died as only the noble and good may die.

JUNE AND JULY APPOINTMENTS
D R. HARDMA_N, Physician for the
disease of the Lungs,
(formerly Physician to Cincin
nati-Marine Hospital ; ) willbo in attendance at his rooms
as follows :

Dr. Hardman treats Consumption, Bronchitis, Asthma,
Larryngittis and all diseases of the throat and ungs, by
Medical Inhalation, lately used in the Bromton Hospital,
London. The great point in the treatment of all human
maladies, is to get at the disease in the direct manner.—
All medicines are estimated by their action upon the organ
requiring relief. This is the important fact upon which
Inhalation is based. If the stomach is diseased we take
medicine directly into the stomach. If the lungs are dis
eased, breathe or inhale medicated vapors directly into
the lungs. Medicines are antidotes to disease and should
be applied to the very seat of disease. Inhalation is the
application of this principle to the treatment of the lungs,
for it gives us direct access to those intricate air cells, and
tubes which lie out of reach of every other means of ad
ministering medicines. The reason that Consumption,
and other diseases of the lungs,
have heretofore resisted
all treatment has been because they have never been ap
proached in a direct manner by medicine. They were in
tended to act upon the lungs, and yet were applied to the
stomach. Their action was intended to be local, and yet,
they were so administered that they should only act con
stitutionally, expending their immediate and principal ac
tion upon the unoffending stomach, whilst the foul ulcers
within the lungs were unmolested. Inhalation brings ,
the medicine in direct contact with the disease, without
the disadvantage of any violent action. Its application is
so simple, that it can be employed by the youngest infant
or feeblest invalid. It does not derange the stomach, or in
terfere in the least degree with the strength, comfort, or
business of the patient.
Other Diseases Treated.—ln relation to the following dis
eases, either when complicated with lung affections or ex
isting alone, I also invite consultation, I usually find them
pimapay curable.
Prolapses and all other forms of Female Complaints, Ir
regalaritica and Weakness.
Palpitation and all other fornis of Heart Disease, Liver
Complaints, Dyspepsia, and all other diseases of stomach
and bowels, &c.
All diseases of the eye and ear. Neuralgia, Epilepsy,
and all forms of nervous disease.
