ITEns.—ltems are as scarce as June bugs
in mid-winter. We have traveled this town
from one end to the other, through mud an
kle deep almost, in search of "ye item," but
found 'nary one. What will we do to feast
the public mind on ? We know they expect
a notice of this and of that, but where will
we get the material wherewith to manufac
ture them ? No dog fights, no brute fights,
no drunken fellows, (thank fortune,) no run
away horses, no nothing, but pol(y)ities,
pol(y)itics, from morning till night, and as
we don't happen to be a dabbler in the dirty
pool of politics, we wont say "nothing" about
it. The only thing worthy of mention, and
which, perhaps, may be news to our readers
is, that we have had delightful weather fur a
week past. So much so, that we are almost
inclined to think this the month of May in
stead of January.
Ile—lf any of our readers want a good
daguerreotype, ambrotype or mela inotype,
we would advise them to call on our friend
Mr. J. G. Camp, at his gallery, in the room
over the Bank. In connection with the pic
ture business, Drs. Locke & Camp are pre
pared to extract or fill teeth in the most work
man-like manner, and on the shortest possi
ble notice. Dr. Locke also prepares and
keeps fur sale an excellent article of tooth
wash, which makes the teeth of pearl white
ness in a very few applications, and is pleas
ant to the taste. Give them a call.

CORRESPONDENCE OF THE GLOBE.
The prejudice which exists in this commu
nity, in regard to the repeal of the Tonnage
Tax, naturally leads reflecting men to con
sider the justness of such a state of feeling.
It is the opinion of many, that if such a tax
is not strictly legal, (since the sale of the
State works) nevertheless it is highly expedi
ent that sibh a tax should be imposed, yield
ing as it does, such a handsome revenue to
our State government.
The plausable idea, that a quarter million
of dollars is dropping annually into the lap
of our State Treasury, as if showered upon
us by some goddess of fortune, is, when
stripped of its surrounding attractions, but a
miserable and terrible affliction, which we
are now, we may say, unconsciously bearing,
and still earnestly demanding, should continue
to be inflicted upon 71.9.
The question which interests us all, is this :
Will the Local Traffic be benefitted by the
repeal of the Tonnage Tax? We answer.—
Must unquestionably it will. It can be con
clusively shown, that we who live immediate
ly on the line of the Penna. Railroad, are the
persons who are compelled• to pay this Ton
nage Tax.
The competition carried on by the four
great rival Railroad companies, for the wes
tern or through freight, necessarily renders
it impossible for the Penna. R. R. Co. to have
a sufficient margin (between the cost of trans
porting the through freight, and the amount
received for carrying it) to cover the propor
tion of the Tonnage Tax, which would proper
ly belong to it. Consequently the Tonnage
Tax as long as it exists, must wholly be de
rived from the assessments on local traffic.
Now, inasmuch as our coal, lumber, bark,
&e., are by law exempt from this taxation, it
must, necessarily, cause a most unjust and
cruel increase of Tariff Rates upon all other
classes of goods, which, by the law, are not
exempt from this tax.
A car load of any material, carried at the
lowest rate of the Penna. Railroad, between
this point and Philada. will have an addition
al lax of about three dollars, to cancel the Ton
nage flax on said loading—if it should not
happen to be one of the items specified by
law as exempt from taxation.
If our shippers of bark, hoop poles &c., had
to pay a tax of three dollars on every car they
loaded, they would have a little taste of the
practical workings of this unjust taxation.
Now if the coal, lumber and bark interests
of our State are relieved from this taxation
by the act itself, is it just that the other re
sources of our State should bear it ? The
countie3 between Philadelphia and Pittsburgh,
adjacent to the line of the Penna Railroad
should be unanimous in demanding the im
mediate repeal of this Tax, as they are sim
ply paying this money out of their own pock
ets, into the State Treasury, fur the benefit
of other portions of the State.
It is impossible to ask the Penna Railroad
to do much to develop the local trade, or to
reduce the tariff rates ou local merchandise,
until this tax is removed. Should it be re
moved the Penna Railroad Co., can and will
do a great deal for the local freight, and it is
ma niftstly the true interests of our merchants,
farmers, and the community in general, to
give this matter their careful consideration,
and they will, beyond all doubt, be convinced
that self interest, and all business considera
tions demand the repeal of the Tonnage Tax.

1\10N3101.7T11, 'WARREN On.
Jan. 17, ISGO.
Eorron GLOBE lien last I wrote you, I
was away out at " Far West," in Missouri,
the last of November—from that point
I returned on the Railroad to i place called
Laclede, Linn Co., from which place I trav
eled in a buggy, down to the Missouri river,
at Brunswick, Chariton county ; from there I
traveled on foot, out to Bynumville, a dis
tance of •about 30 miles—the weather had
turned very cold, and the ground was frozen
as hard as ccW iron. 1 found before reach
ing the end of my journey several fine blis
ters on each foot, and my logs as stiff as a
Spavined horse; however, I made some twen
ty-eight miles of the road in one day. I put
up at a farm hone, where I was very kindly
cared tir o and when I thawed out, at a rous
ing log fire in a big outside chimney fire-place,
over which the lady of the house was cooking
supper, and roasting herself into the bargain.
The country is more broken through Chari
ton county than Caldwell and Livingston, and
is more settled. As yet, the settlers are prin
cipally in and about the timber. Bynumville
consists of one house, in which the P. 0. of
that name is kept. It is owned by Roht. Car
illon, Esq., formerly of Alexandria, Pa., who
is post master, and is making a very fine farm,
and appears to be living quite at home. I
stayed at, and in the immediate vicinity of
Bynumville, from Saturday morning, till the
next Thursday morning ; found my brother
and family all well, and as well as Mr. Car
moil's folks, well pleased with the country.--
On Sabbath I attended preaching in a log
meeting house in the neighborhood—the meet
ing house belonged to the Baptist denomina
tion, but is open to others, when not used by
themselves. The day I attended, it was oc
cupied by a Presbyterian minister, the Rev.
James Vincent, a Kentuckian by birth, a
grandson of the leader of the " Paxton boys,"
of Pennsylvania. He tells of the exploits of his
Grand Sire, as though it was something to be
proud of, though I believe the act was then,
and still is very generally condemned. I pas
sed some time in hunting, but as it was very
cold, and being out of practice, I did not make
it pay very well—l killed one lame wild goose,
three pheasants, a few squirrels, and seared
quite a number of wild turkeys.
From Bynumville I traveled up to the rail
road to Stockton—twelve miles—the road
leads through timber most of the way, water
appeared to be scarce, and all the wells I no
ticed, were " overshot wells"—that is, the
wells are dug and walled up, and the water con
veyed into them by spouts from the roof of the
house, smoke houses, and other outbuildings.
The clay is of such a nature that it will hold
all the water spouted into them, without wast
ing a particle; of course during long dry spells
the water fails, and again in wet weather the
subsoil will not permit the surplus water to
pass into it, and the result is, that the soil
becomes saturated to such an extent, that it
cannot be plowed, and the roads become very
muddy. From Stockton I came to Quincy,
by Railroad. At Macon city, the road inter
sects the North Missouri Railroad, leading to
St. Louis. At this point the negroes for the
South, left our train, to take the railroad to
St. Louis. I noticed about forty head of that
kind of stock. If every train brings as many,
the North Western counties of Missouri will
soon be cleared out. Although I saw some
rough and broken land in Missouri, my im
pression is, that it is in general a good soil,
and will doubtless make a good country—
Ex-R
The Tonnage Tax
though the subsoil is entirely different from
this section of country, the soil appears much
the same.
Times are getting a little brighter here,
than they were. Corn is selling at, from 35
to 40 cents per bushel, and as the crop was a
fair one, and stock more scarce than usual, a
large amount will be shipped at this place.
Further North, the early frost damaged the
corn, so that there is none for sale. We have
had good weather for out door work this win
ter ; the roads were never better ; it was icy
for several days of last week, making it dan
geous for pedestrians. I heard of several
falls about town, but no serious accident to
life or limb. I understand that Mrs. Camp
bell, of North Henderson, the mother of Maj.
Campbell, of your town, was so unfortunate
as to fall and break one of her arms, but
was doing well under the circumstances; to
night it is snowing—but I must bring my
letter to a close. J. P.
The Union Must Be Preserved
The following plain talk and sensible ar
ticle, concerning the feeling that exists in
some parts of the south in regard to the disso
lution of the Union, and the forming of a
Southern republic, we copy from the Louis
ville (Kentucky,) Democrat, which says :
" The Union is ours. Let those who strive to
pervert it, go out." It reads as follows :
" There are some people in the south, and
particularly in South Carolina, who look to a
Southern Republic as the cure for all politi
cal maladies. The millennium will come as
soon as one can be formed. Now this is all
unstatesmanlike and foolish. This Southern
Republic would be, like all governments, no
better than it ought to be. The same dispo
sition to magnify and exaggerate inconvenien
ces or real evils will remain. There must be
somebody to find fault with, and many to find
fault. This Union is as good as any that will
ever be made of its parts. There is no gov
ernment which has not had greater difficul
ties to contend with than ours. There is no
one where people are so free, where persons
and property are more secure. We have no
right to assume that these evils will grow
worse, and apprehend that they must become
insufferable. We have still reason to expect
that wrongs will be appreciated and rectified.
At any rate, we, need not expect that when
they become insufferable and we must end
them, that we shall get into a political Para
dise in a Southern confederacy. There is no
government without its evils, and great ones.
We are not in any event, for going out of
the Union. We have complied with its con
ditions. The Union is ours. Let those who
strive to pervert it, go out. We can defend
our rights in the Union, if we must do it, by
force. The old Constitution is good enough'.
We shall not get a better ; and we don't want
it altered. Let those who disregard it go out
of the Union. We prefer driving them out to
going out ourselves."
HEAVY INsoLvExcv.—Probably the heavi
est case of insolvency that ever came before
an American Court, was brought to the con
sideration of Judge Daly, of the Common
Pleas of New York, on Wednesday last, on
application of Suydam, Sage & Co., for re
lief under the insolvent act, the firm having
liabilities to the amount of nearly $3,000,-
000. The petition for relief was opposed by
four gentlemen for themselves and a large
number of creditors. Suydam, Sage & Co.,
were for many years the heaviest operators
in flour in the American market, and were
supposed to he possessed of immense wealth.
A succession of great losses, during the last
general panic', compelled them to succumb,
which they did to the tune of millions. Un
able to effect a settlement with many of their
creditors, they now propose to force one
through the medium of the insolvent law,
and the probabilities are that they will, after
a protracted course of litigation, prove suc
cessful.
FROM PIKE'S PEAK.—The Express from
Pike's Peak arrived at Leavonworth on the
12th, with $21,805. The Denver City _A-ems
says that $90,000 in gold had been sent by
Express since October.

PITS 2 WHY P.RODIENENT.
For a long thno there was a paragraph making its reg
ular weekly appearance in our columns, with the brief,
but emphatic words "Fits! Fits !" always at the head, to
some an offensive caption, but not so to the benevolent
and humane, who could sympathize in the sorrows of
others. Some persons are shocked at any indication of
disease, and are even thrown into nervous excitement on
witnessing a hearse or a coffin. Such are to be pitied.—
We should always strive to look disease and even death in
the face with calmness, and especially take every oppor
tunity for alleviating disease. Viewed in this light, the
advertisements of S. S. Nance, of 108 Baltimore street,
Baltimore, Md., possess a certain interest, and those who
know of any one suffering from Epilepsy, Spasms, or Fits
of any kind, should feel it a pleasure to cut out his adver
tisement, or in some other way send word to the afflicted
of the great value of his remedies. They can be sent to
any part of the country by mail. Price, $3 per box. Two
$5. Twelve, $24.

SON'S SALAMANDER i r
SAFES, z
304 CuESTNET STREET.
PHILADELPHIA.
ANOTHER TRIUMPH!
Philadelphia, Sept. 29,1559.
To THE PRESIDENT OF THE PENNSYLVANIA AGRICULTURAL
SOCIETY :—Tbe subscribers, your committee to examine the
contents of a Salamander Safe, of Evans d Watson, after
being exposed to a strong fire on the Fair Grounds for eight
hours, respectfully represent—
That after seven cords of oak wood and three of pine
had been consumed around the Safe, it was opened in the
presence of the committee, and the contents taken out, a
little warmed, but not even scorched.
Several Silver Medals heretofore received by the manu
facturers, and a large quantity of documents were in the
Safe, and Caine out entirely uninjured.
The experiment satisfied us of the capacity of Safes.of
this kind to protect contents from any fire to which they
may be exposed.
The Committee awarded a Diploma and Silver Medal.

WILMINGTON, Del., Sept. FT, 1559.—Messrs. EVANS ,t; SCAT
SON, Philadelphia.
Gentlemen :—The Salamander Fire-Proof Safe of your
manufacture, purchased by us from your Agent, Ferris &
Garrett, of our city, some nine mouths ago, was severely
tried by burglars last Saturday night, and although they
had a sledge hammer, cold chisels, drill and gunpowder,
they did not succeed in opening the Safe. The lock being
one of " Hall's Patent Powder-proof," they could not get
the powder into it, but drilled a hole in the lower panel
and forced in a large charge, n hick was ignited, and al
though the door, inside and out, showed the explosion not
to have beer_ a small one, it was not forced open. We sup
pose they were the greater part of the night at work on
it. We are much gratified at the result of the attedipt to
enter it, and if the above facts are of any service, you are
at liberty to use them. Yours, truly,
GREAT FIRE !-A NOTII ER TRIUMPH 1!
KNoxvir.r.E. Tennessee. March 13th, 1859.
Messrs. EVANS & WATSON, Philadelphia:
Gentlemen—lt affords me great pleasure to say to you
that the Salamander Safe which I purchased of you in
February, 185 S, proved to be what you recommended it--
a sure protection from fire. My storehouse, together with
several others, was burned to the ground in March last.—
The Safe fell through into the cellar, and was exposed to
intense heat for six or eight hours, and when it was taken
from the ruins and opened, all its contents where found to
be in a perfect state, the books and the papers not being
injured any whatever. I can cheerfully recommend your
Safes to the community, believing, as I do, that they are
as near fire-proof as it is possible for any Safe to be made.
AnP•A large assortment of the above SAFES always on
hand, at 204 Chestnut street, (late 24 South Fourth street,)
Philadelphia. [Nov. 16, 1853.]
LATEST BY PENAGRAPH.-
The Harpers Ferry excitement is over, Old Brown
is dead, or soon will be, quiet is again restored, and the
citizens of Huntingdon are out of danger. The under
signed would therefore respectfully inform the citizens of
this place and vicinity that he will be happy to wait on
them at his old stand in the Diamond, (just where it used
to be,) with choice groceries, confects, fruit, flour, &c., &c.,
all of which he 'will be pleased to exchange fur cash or
country produce at cash prices.
His old friends are always welcome and new ones invi
ted.
He is also agent for T. 11. 'Willson S: Ce.'s Premium Tel
egraph Fodder Cutter and Male's Combinod Cider Mill and
Corn Sheller. As labor saving and economical machines,
they are invaluable, and farmers and others interested
would do well to call and examine for themselves.
