MR. EDITOR :—The recent series, of
excellent articles published in , your
journal under the cognomen of "Progress"
are interesting, and are awakening our
citizens to comprehend what are the ad
vantages and real interests of our town.
The progress of Columbia has perhaps
since the period of its incorporation, been
much retarded in consequence of individ
uals having large real estate possessions,
and which they would neither improve
themselves, neither would they dispose
of to others, other than at exorbant
prices when capitalists desired property
for improvenient. Indeed for many
years in the past history of our town if
any public or individual improvement
that might be a convenience or real ben
efit to the interests of our community
were suggested there was sure to be
some old foggy individual interest—some
exorbiMnt price to be obtained that would
frustrate any public advantage or benefit
that might be projected or confercd upon
our Borough. Recently we perceive
some indication of this former state of af
fairs becoming absolete, as an evidence
and earnestness of the public feeling, we
are pleased to see the demonstration
made during the present week, by our
citizensin petitioning the President and
Directors of the Pennsylvania It. 1 A Co.
signed by several hundred of our citizens
together with the Chief Burgess and
Town Council petitioning for a Passen
ger station or depot to be erected in a
central part of our town. They say their
grievances, cannot longer be endured
that about nine tenths of our traveling
community have been subjected to travel
a.Atile—suordirl‘ss_to2and frOni the /lta
tion on every journey they take on the
cars, in consequence of our present sta
tion being located at the extreme end of
our Borough.
It is hoped the prayers of our citizens
will be favorably entertained and a con
venient and spacious passenger station or
depot be erected at some point on their
line of road between Walnut and Perry
streets in our 'Borough.

New York Correspondence.
TAI.73IANSBURGH, N. Y., Feb. 25, 1864.
Mn. RAMBO : Dear Sir : If you have ever
witnessed a large conflagration, you can
imagine what has been the experience of
your correspondent within the last week.
On the morning of Tuesday the 23d, inst
one half of the business part of Trumans
burgh, (a village of between one and two
thousand inhabitants,in Tompkins county,
New York,) was burned to the ground.
The fire was first discovered at about one
o'clock, on the morning of the day men
tioned, and raged until nearly day break.
Fifty or sixty buildings, including thirty
one places of business, were consumed,
and between, thirty and forty families
were turned houseless into the street.
So rapid was the progress of the flames,
that many families were unable to save
oven their household goods from the flames,
and many who were uninsured were re
duced in a few hours from comparative
affluence to indigence.
Among the property which %sc..; burned,
was a furnace, worth some ten thousand .
dollars, a hotel, H. D. Barto & Co. bank
building, several large stores, a stone mill
which cost between seven and eight thou
sand dollars. This mill and the furnace
were both uninsured. Ono individual
who lost a dwelling house and four ten
ant stores, had only two hundred dollars
insurance.
A large amount of ground wah burned
over, and the total loss will be about one
hundred thousand dollars, of which not
more than ono fourth is covered by insur
anco. For many years our village has
been singularly fortunate in being free
from conflagrations, and we had not a sol
itary fire engine, or even a hook and lad
der company to aid in putting down the
fire. A single engine would have saved
one half, if not three fourths of the pro
perty destroyed.
I do not know how volunteering is pro
gressing in your State, but hero in Ncw
York we are doing nobly. The congres
sional district which includes Tompkins
county, has filled its 'quotas under ovary
call, m:ld-has furnished fifteen hundred
recruits more than have yet been asked
for by - the was department. In our town

3ln. EDITOR :—I am sorry to inform
you that AIL Gressly, who lost consider
at a late fire in York, lost another
barn or stable, and an ice house, last
night, by the hands of some base incen
diary.
A sories of burglaries was perpetrated
in the same place, on Wednesday night
last. Tho loud report of the explosion
of a. safe in Kurtz & Nes' bte very, at
tracted the attention of the neighbors,
and police, which led to the arrest of two
professional thieves, as they had the im
plements of the profession, such as skele
ton keys, &c., in their possession. They
were committed.
The Fair, at York, for the benefit of
the sick and wounded soldiers, last week,
exceeded the most sanguine expectations
of every one. The proceeds, up to Satur
day, amounted to $3,992, and still left a
large number of articles-on hand, unsold.
It was to remain open until to-night, hr
elusive.
The Concerts and Tableaux, at the
above fair, were so well received, that a
number of Prof. Bentz's friends (and
they are legion) tendered him a benefit,
but he declined the honor, and to-night
he and the managers of the Tableaux
connected with the Fair, give an enter
tainment for the benefit of the poor of
the town.
, The Ter-Centenary year of the Heidel
berg Catechism was celebrated in quite
an imposing and interesting manner, on
Tuesday evening last, by the Sabbath
School attached to the First Reformed
Church, in York. The object of these
jubilees, by the various" churches of that
denomination, is to raise a fund for the
purpose of establishing certain institu
tions under its care, and other benevolent
objects.
The anneal report of the Northern
Central 11. R. Co., shows that the total
receipts of the company for the year end
ing DeciAMber Ist, 4863, were $2,12e 7 .
034 19, and the es: penditures 61,686,-
867 41—leaving a net revenue of 8435, 7
216 78. To which should be added
8185,364 11 due frem the United States
for business done the past year. They
do not intend to declare any dividend un
til the road is put into complete order, it
being the intention of the Board to make
it a first class, double track, road. The
old Board of Directors were re-elected,
also the same President, Vice President,
Secretary, Treasurer and Superintendent
of last year.
I hear the story called " The Outcast
Daughter," by Finley Johnson, published
by you in pamphlet form, highly spoken
of. Don't neglect to send the one I wrote
for the other day. I applied for it at
some of the book stores in York, and was
astonished at not finding it there.

Columbia's Future.
No. 9.
As I slept, I had a vision;
Had an interview with spirits.
One, the spirit of a chieftain,
Who in lifetime, had resided.
In our borough, near the river,
Near the river Susquehanna.
And the other, though a stranger,
As he held his book and pencil,
Made inquiries of the chieftain,
How our borough was progreing ?
.Then the chieftain, tall and stately,
In a voice, like distant thunder,
Stood erect, and
. told his story :
I was, but a savage chieftain;
I was, only taught by Nature,
And, I followed her example;
Always drifted, with the current.:
Taught my subjecti, that disseusion
Would destroy our tribe, and Nation;
That in strife, there was no pleasure,
That they all must live like brothers:
Yet, I lived and died, a savage,
And was buried in this borough,
Long before the white man came here;
Long before I heard of progress ; • '
Long before my tribe was driven,
From the land their fathers gave them:
Long before I heard of christians,
Then a mortal, now a. spirit,
Ghost of the departed chieftain.
Now, in answer to your question,
How the white men are progressing?
I will answer, and will tell you
How the matter stands recorded :
First the friends, who took possession,
Were a friendly thriving people;
Dealt in lumber, grain, and bacon,
Dealt in produce, and in 'whiskey,
Which they shiped in arks and keel boats.
All were workers,
enterprising,
In this humble trade and commerce;
And' they all, became quite wealthy.
Then came railroads, and improvements,
Which. incr lased their trade and corn
merce,
Which increased their population; 411
Forced a patronage upon them,
Which has nearly proved theirvnin.•
Each one slacked his owweasetionsi, •
Each one might for public favor- . ; . •
Each oho looked upon the Sts.ti works;
Mli
As a never failirig income.
Bich an:Tanest. politician; •
Each a - kind of public pauper.
When the change came, What a lesson 1
What a lesson, it has taught them! -
Pined tlieirialth on:public favor; '
Patronage of poll inns: --- •
When too late, they all discovered I
That their manhood hid departed;
That an enterprising spirit
Was among the things that had been,
That they all were like the children,
Spoii'd'by their indulgent parents.
Self dependence,' self reliance,
From the people, had departed;
And the standard of their morals,
Measured by the " ring," and tactics,
Of successful politicians.
Such a state of moral chaos;
Bit reflected, its own image;
When the public mind decied
That Columbia was ruined.
And by ray of self protection,
Self defence was made the standard :
Each one cursed,—and oft repeated;
Cursed the town, and cursed each other;
Hatred, malace, and proscription,
Challenged all to social combat.
Peace and patronage, disposed of
All, except the tale suspended;
Like the cat fight, at Kilkenny.
Here the stranger made enquiry :
Why the peopl were divided ?
Why they wran._,ale with each other ?
Are there none, 'tlithin the borough ?
Who possess the moral courage
To point out the path to progress :
And to urge converted action,
Both by precept and example ?
Then the Chieftain promptly, answered
Thereby hangs a tale, a secret.
Every man is but a friction;
Every man distrusts all others.
All have got a-head of progress ;
Yet I'll put them iu two classes.
They may all be represented :
As fanatics, and old fogies.
Each one thinks that he is perfect;
That all nature was exhausted :
And the work of progress ended;
In her efforts, to produce him.
All the efforts of fanatics,
Arc, but retrograding movements:
Now and then a knave, enlisted
In his search for gain and plunder.
Now and then a fool is captured ;
By appeals, made to his passions.
Then the fogies, grave. old cronies,
Fussy, funny, fat and foxy,
Measure progress,by the standard,
Which, 'by them, has been adopted.;-
Think, that progiess ceased and ended ;
When they ceasell to be ambitious.
Would reverse the laws of nature;
Would require youth and ambition,
To transmute, be metamorphosed.
They would make old dogs, of puppies.
Think, that any further progress,
Would destroy the peace and pleasure,
Of the present generation.
Have forebodings of the future;
Wonder why they're not appointed,
An immortal, grand committee ,
To revise the laws of nature ?
So that future gonerations;
At their birth Nybuld be old fogies ;
Youthful sport. would he recorded.
And the sins oitformer ages. •
Dread the ” . ..11 generation.
i Think . th ' e " u
and error • • ,-:
.
i Will ram ',.,' the people; , -
When they com to take their exit.
Think the worlwill spoil in keeping,
Of a future gen ‘ alien.
