To the Patrons of the " Broad Top
Miner."
No doubt many of the patrons of
the Miner will be surprised when they
see what a change has been made, and
wonder why it is. We wish to ex
plain, as we bear of considerable mis
understanding about what we are go
ing to do, and what is to be the fate of
the Miner.
Just after we issued our last paper,
the services of our help were called
into requisition, to assist in defending
the Stars and Stripes, and to protect
our glorious Union from the ravages
of an excited, traitorous mob, which
left us without the necessary aid to get
out our paper. We have made every
exertion to procure aid, but failed in
all our endeavors, and in order to sup
ply our readers regularly with the la
test news, we have made an arrange
ment with Wm. Lewis, Editor of the
Globe, to publish the. finer and Globe to
gether regularly twice a week, until
such time as we can procure the as
sistance of a printer. Our readers will
lose nothing by the temporary change,
as they will get the news twice a week
instead of once, until the excitement,
which now agitates the public mind, is
somewhat abated, or until such time
as we can resume the publication of
the Miner in Coalmont. We wish to
have it distinctly understood (notwith
standing the erroneous reports circula
ted by some,) that the publication of
the Miner, in Coalmont, has not been
abandoned. It is an impossibility for
us to get out our paper without assis
tance, and it is impossible just at this
time, for us to get assistance, as prin
ters are bold, brave, daring, patriotic
fellows, and a goodly number of them
have taken up arms and gone to fight
for their country, and were we not
aware of the responsibility resting up
on us, and the sense of duty we owe
our readers, it 'is very probable we
would have been off to the scene of
warfare long ere this.
We trust this explanation will be
understood by our patrons, for wo do
not wish erroneous reports in circula
tion about us. The Miner is one of
fixed luminaries of Broad Top, and has
too many good supporters to falLstill
born to the ground. During our tem
porary sojourn in this place, we will
pay attention to the affairs on Broad
Top, and publish everything that may
occur worthy of being recorded. We
want some good man to keep us posted
in matters and things that we may
give them publicity.
A. TYATIRST.
Read the Papers
Let every man, woman and child
who can read, read the papers. And
those who cannot read, let them ask
others _to read for them. Never, in
our lives, has there been a time like
the present, in which so many vast
and important issues aro at stake. It
may truly be said that the question
now before us as a people, is a question
of life or death. Our Government has
been assailed; the Institutions under
which we have lived for the last eighty
years, and under whose benign influ
ence we have enjoyed so much peace
and prosperity, are to be destroyed if
possible, and a reign of terror and op.
pression is to take its place. Let every
one, then, look this question in the
face; let every man and woman reflect
upon it and ask, how shall it be an
swered ? Shall we tamely succumb,
or shall we resist ? Shall we continue
to be Freemen, or shall we allow a
Southern rabble to take from us our
liberties and our Flag ? We should
rather be willing to be shot down and
rot in the dust!
Let us then - hunt up the papers.—
Hold not back for a few dimes or dol
lars, and neglect to keep yourself well
informed in regard to all the move
ments of the day. It is necessary to
have light and truth before the mind,
in order to guide the judgment safely
and the will promptly. Let us, then,
diligently read the papers.
'ln times like these are in which we
find- ourselves now, to be placid, it is
necessary for every member of society
to be active, and endeavor to do some
thing to help on the noble struggle
in which the whole North seems to be
engaged: We would, therefore, take
occasion to call the attention of the
LADIES to a work in which they can
lend a helping hand. And this is to
make lint. Many of our eastern ladies
are now actively employing their leis
ure moments in this way, and we trust
that we have many patriotic wives
and daughters in our own county,
who only want the hint, in order to
secure their co-operation. There is
scarcely a family among us, but what
has some old linen laying about our
homes, and of not mueli consequence,
or use. Now let this be torn apart by
the tender band of our fomale friends,
and sent off to some of our Military
companies and their officers, and of
how much importance may this old
linen become ! If our soldiers must
bleed, and if their limbs must bo bruised
and torn in the deadly strife for vic
tory, how soft and cooling to their
bleeding wounds would be such an ap
pliance, both as an instrument of re
lief, and a token of respect and pat
riotic regard. Any preparation of
this kind can be very easily sent to
our soldiery through any of the lead
ing men of this place.
MARYLAND AND THE TROOPS
FOR THE CAPITAL.
Highly Important Lette'r from Secretary
Sewakd.
The following letter was addressed,
on Monday, to Governor Hicks, of
Maryland, by the Secretary of State :
DEPARTMENT OP STATE, April 22, 1861.
His Excellency Thomas H. Hicks, Gov
ernor of Maryland:
SIR: I have had the honor to receive
your communication of this morning,
in which you informed me that you
have felt it to be your duty to advise
the President of the United States to
order elsewhere the troops off Annap
olis, and also that no more be sent
through Maryland; and that you have
further suggested that Lord Lyons be
requested to act as mediator between
the contending parties in our country
to prevent the effusion of blood.
The President directs me to ac
knowledge the receipt of that commu
nication, and to assure you that he has
weighed the counsels which it contains
with the respect which he habitually
cherishes for the Chief Magistrates of
the several States, and especially for
yourself. He regrets, as deeply as any
magistrate or citizen of the country
can, that demonstrations against the
safety of the United States, with very
extensive preparations for the effusion
of blood, have made it his duty to call
out the force to which you allude.
The force now sought to be brought
through Maryland is intended for noth
ing but the defence of this capital.—
The President has necessarily confided
the choice of the national highway
which that force shall take in coming
to this city to the Lieutenant General
commanding the army of the United
States, who, like his only predecessor,
is not less distinguished for his human
ity than for his loyalty, patriotism and
distinguished public service.
The President instructs me to add
that the national highway thus selec
ted by. the Lieutenant General has
been chosen by him, upon consultation
with prominent magistrates and citi
zens of Maryland, as the one which,
while a route is absolutely necessary,
is further removed from the populous
cities of the State, and with the ex
pectation that it would therefore be
the least objectionable one.
The President cannot but remember
that there has been a time in the his
tory of our country when a General
of the American Union, with forces
designed for the defence of its capital,
was not unwelcome anywhere in the
State of Maryland, and certainly not
at Annapolis, then, as now, the capital
of that patriotic State, and then, also,
one of the capitals of the Union.
If eighty years could have oblitera
ted all the noble sentiments of that
age in Maryland, the President would
be hopeful, nevertheless, that there is
one that would forever remain there
and everywhere. That sentiment is
that no domestic contention whatever,
that may arise among the parties of
this Republic, ought in any case to be
referred tä any foreign arbitrament,
least of all to the arbitrament of an
European monarchy.
I have the honor to be, with distin
guished consideration, your Excellen
cy's most obedient servant,
WILLIAM H. SEWARD.
Important from Baltimore and Washing-
We take the following from the Phil
adelphia Press of Wednesday :
" Last evening we had an interview
with a gentleman of distinction in this
country, who left Washington yester
day morning at half past seven o'clock.
He gives us the startling intelligence
that Trashington is in a much more de
fenceless condition, than we had been, led
to expect from previous reports. No
troops have reached there since the
arrival of the First Massachusetts
Regiment, and no intelligence of them
had been received, with the exception
of a rumor that they had landed at
Annapolis. General Butler, in com
mand of the regiment, attempted to
land at the navy yard with his men,
but the opposition was so great that
they re-embarked on board the vessels,
and were compelled to go towards the
Potomac, The Commissary of the
regiment was arrested at Annapolis.—
He made his escape in a disguise, and
arrived at Washington on Monday af
ternoon. It is supposed they will at
tempt to reach Washington by way
of the Potomac.
It is rumored that the authorities of
Virginia are establishing batteries at
Arlington Heights, a position com
manding Washington City. A. H.
Stephens is reported to be in Rich
mond, while General Beanregard, our
informant has no doubt, is at Portsmouth,
Va., with five thousand men. Jefferson
Davis is supposed to be in ➢lontgom
ery awaiting the concentration' of his
troops. The impression was that
Beauregard was meditating an assault
on Washington."

WAR NEWS.
[BY TELEGRAPH.]
Traitor Arrested
HANOVER, April 22.—Capt. Jeniper,
a southern man by birth, stationed at
Carlisle, resigned his commission in
formally yesterday and immediately
loft that place, after obtaining all the
movement of our troops for the rebel
States in order to inform them of the
movements and intercept our men, but
Gov. Curtin knowing him to be a se
cessionist, had appointed several gen
tlemen to watch his movements.
He was immediately followed after
his flight, arrested at Han over junction,
and from thence transported back
again to Carlisle as a prisoner of war.
He will be court-martialed in due time,
and receive a traitor's sentence. A
man that will eat the bread of the gov
ernment, and then forsake it in hour
of need, is not fit to die an honorable
death. Gov. Curtin deserves great
credit for vigilance.
Greatly Overestimated,
HARPER'S FERRY, April 22.—The
number of men reported to be in pos
session of Harper's Ferry has been
greatly overestimated by the dispatch
es sent here. The number is small,
and they occupy now a worthless place.
The Government arms had all been re
moved before its destruction.
From Kentucky
LOUISVILLE, April 23.—A movement,
is on foot, and will probably be adopt
ed in a day or two, between the civil
and military authorities of Louisville,
Jeffersonville and New Albany, to
prevent invasion by hostile troops
from either North and South, so long
as Kentucky preserves her present
status.
Seven companies of the State Guard,
embracing an aggregate of 650 men,
under Col. Tilghman, have been or
ganized at Paducah, Kentucky.
The Union sentiment is greatly on
the increase throughout the State, and
I am now well convinced that she will
remain as she has since her formation
—a firm adherent of union and broth
erly love with all our sister States.—
In caso we secede, it will only be by
the action of the Northern States.—
Kentucky will have to be forced out
of the Union.
Reinforcement of Forts McHenry and
Monroe
WASIFINGTON, April 23.—A United
States naval officer arrived here states
that the steamer Spaulding landed her
troops, reinforcing Fort McHenry very
quietly. The Baltimoreaus were ex
pecting her arrival, intending to cap
ture her, but she started down the
bay, frustrating their designs,
Fortress Monroe has also been re
inforced with the Massachusetts regi
ments.
It is also certain that the Sixth
Massachusetts regiment has possession
of Annapolis.

NEW YORK, April 23.—Collector
Barney states that a gentleman offici
ally connected with the Government

railroad bridges, telegraph lines, and
to keep the communication open for
passengers, mails and dispatches, as
well as the troops.

Lieut. Faxhall A. Parker, of the

[The Lieut. Jenifer, referred to in

former member of Congress, and, du
ring Harrison's and Tyler's Adminis
tration, United States Minister to Aus
tria.]

The excitement of Sunday bad been

the calm resembles that which pre
cedes a storm.
Extras were published at Baltimore

tleman has passed through from Bal
timore, which he left early this morn

by him :
lie states that Fort McHenry had

pointed towards the fort, but the com
mander required its removal, and this
was complied with: Cannon planted

ities of Baltimore and the Government
for re-building the bridges at the ex
pense of Baltimore, and the road to

From Washington via Harrisburg
ITARRISBURO, April 24th.—An intel
ligent New York merchant, who left
Washington at three o'clock yesterday

From Washington
NEW You.x., April 24.—The New
York Times' evening edition says, that

Commander-irk-Chief of the Confeder
ate army.
The. General interrupted him with
the declaration that if he went any
further in making such a proposition
that he (Mr. Robinson) would not be
permitted to get back to Richmond
alive, adding, that having sworn to
support the Constitution of the United
States he realized all the honorable
obligations of that oath, and shotild of
course observe them.
The Sixth Massachusets Regiment
attracted marked attention in Wash

the city. The hotels are nearly deser
ted, and there is some talk of closing
them.
Tho Phila. Bulletin of this morning
contains the following:
Later From Annapolis and Washington
We have direct and authentic news
from Annapolis up to five o'clock yes
terday afternoon, at which hour Maj.
P. Adams Ames, of the Massachusetts
Commissariat, left there, arriving here
this morning at five o'clock, thus prac
tically demonstrating that communi
cation between Philadelphia and An
napolis requires only twelve hours.
When Major Ames left Annapolis,
Colonel Butler, with the Massachu
setts Eighth Regiment, and the New
York Seventh Regiment,'were in qui
et possession of the town, the troops
having been landed without difficulty.
The rails on the railroad between
Annapolis and the Junction had been
removed in certain places, by the Rail
road Company, not by the mob; and
this was done in such a way that they
could easily be replaced again.
Colonel Butler was taking measures
to have the rails relaid, and was con
fident that there would be no difficulty
in re-establishing the railroad commu
nication with Washington, and keep
ing it open.
News from Washington up to yes
terday afternoon had reached Annap
olis before Major Amos left. All was
quiet, and there was no apprehension
of any immediate attack from the
Virginians.
THE VERY LATEST NEWS
Dar From the latest intelligence re
ceived last night we are inclined to
believe that the capitol may now be
considered entirely safe. The New
York Seventh Regiment and Colonel
Butler's Massachusetts Reginient met
with so hostile a reception when they
first attempted to land at Annapolis,
that it was considered advisable to
await further reinforcements, which
in due time arrived. They consisted
of the 4,500 troops which left New
York, on Sunday morning. Their uni
ted force was amply sufficient to si
lence all opposition.
Arrested for Treason
CINCINNATI, April 24.—Ogilvie By
ron Young was arrested last evening

States marshal, on the charge of trea

lk - 6 - The Baltimore Sun says that,
although the Confederate troops were
not at Richmond, they would be there
in a few days with an advance guard
of 5,000 South Carolinians, and be
rapidly reinforced, the enrolment of
30,000 having been ordered.
correspondent of the Ex
change, writing from Montgomery,says
that it is currently reported that al
though Jeff. Davis is not at Richmond,
ho soon will be there, and, making
that his headquarters, assume the com
mand of the Confederate army.
WHAT THE CATHOLICS THINK.—This
week's Tablet, a leading organ of the
Catholiepopulation of New York, says :
" The secessionists have now begun
the war, not only do they talk of re
sisting the United States Government
but of making an-aggressive war upon
it. Walker, the Secretary of War of
the so-called Confederate Government,
in a speech delivered at Montgomery
on Friday evening last, uttered the
threat that before Ist May next the
secession ensign shall take the place of
the time-honored banner of the Amer
ican Republic over the Capitol at
Washington. Tho United States must
now be prepared to defend themselves.
The President has called for seventy
five thousand men and summoned a
special session of Congress. New York,
Pennsylvania, and Ohio have "already
spoken out. The United States Gov
ernment must put forth all its energy
to put down the rebellion, and every
true man must now stand up for the Stars
and Stripes. God save the Union 1"

Sherman's Battery to go
through Baltimore;
A gentleman direct from Washing
ton, whose statement can be relied
upon, informs us that yesterday he
struck the. Philadelphia road at Smyr
na, about twenty miles below Wil
mington. Sherman's Battery, horses,
n•uns and men, were at this place.—
here .was a train of fifty or sixty cars
containing soldiers, all armed. There
were several large siege guns on plat
form cars, and they were-all;bound for
'Baltimore. This our informant.aseer
tainealfrom the officers themselves.—
There was a large number of mechan
ics along to erect bridges. The expe
dition would go as far as possible by
train, and the talk was that they were
to make a march of some distance—

The latest information from Balti
more we find in the Harrisburg Tele
graph of last night. The populace of
Baltimore have been excited to the ut
most phrenzy, and the city is entirely
under the control of the mob. Along
such thoroughfares as an invading ar
my would likely march, the roofs of
houses have • been supplied with all
kinds of missiles, anchors, grindstones,
pig iron, and everything of a weight
sufficient to crush an army on the street.
Hundreds of families are leaving. The
road from Baltimore to points in Penn
sylvania is crowded with carriages con
veying the families of those who are
able to leave, from the scene of antici
pated conflict.
Military Roads.

Military Department of Washington is exten

LANDS OF ILLINOIS
No State In the valley of the Mississippi offers so great
an inducement to the settler na the State of Illinois.—
There is no portion of the world where all of the condi.
tions of climate and soil so admirably combine to Produco
those two great staples, corn and wheat, as the prairies of
Rion ROLLING PRAIRIE!..ANDB.
The deep rich loam of the prairies is cultivated with
such wonderful facility that the farmers of the Eastern
and Middle States aro moving to Illinois in great numbers.
The area of Illinois is about equal to that of England, and
the soil Is so t Mt that It will support ts(sititY millions of
people.
'EASTERN AND SOUTHERN MARKETS.'
These Made are contiguous to a railroad Boren hundred
miles in length, which connects with other roads and nav
igable lakes and rivers, thus affording an unbroken com
ruunicatation with the eastern and Southern markets.

Thus far capital and labor,have been applied to develop
lag the soil; the great resources of ' the State in coal and
iron are almost untouched. The invariable rule that the
mechanic arts flourish beet where food andlnel are 'cheap.
est, will follow at en early day in Illinois, and in the course
of the next ten years the natty al laws and neceasities of
the case warrant the belief that at least five heudred
thousand people will be engaged in the State of Illinois in
the various manuacturing employments. ' -

AGRICIIMTURAL PitoDucts.
The agricultural products of Illinois are greater than
those of any other State. The products sent out during
the past year exceeded 1,000,000 tons. The wheat crop of
1860 approaches 35,000,000 bushels, while the cora crop
yields not less than 140,000,000 bushels. • • •
