Road. Tjte grip was made merely for the pur pose of examining the road Sc. There wilklati a grand opening excursion about the first week in April, after which it wijl be opened for the use of the public. ..0a the arrival of the train at Readingl the party proceeded to Balloon's Mansion House Hotel, where they were met by G. A, Nicolls, - . pt., General Superinten dent of the Reading Rail Road Company, E. Clymer, Esq.; President of the Bak Peaney , lvania Rail Roal, F. Lauer, Esq., and others. After. dinner Mr. Clymer made a nett speech, welcoming the party to Reading, and c,ongratislatiug them upon the successful result of their enterprise; which was responded to in a few appro priate remarks by Col. William G. Case, President of the Reading and Columbia Railroad Company, F. Lauer and others. The completion of this road has been looked for with great interest, not only by its friends in Columbia and Reading, busby citizens of Washington, Baltimore and New York, as it opens up one con tinuous route of railroads between New York and Washington City. From Jer sey City to Easton, by New Jersey Con tral railroad, seventy-five miles; thence, by Lehigh and East Pennsylvania Rail roads, to Reading, fifty miles; thence to Columbia, by the Reading and Columbia Railroad, forty-four miles ; thence, by the Northern Central Railway to Baltimore, sixty miles. If the proposed link of ten miles from the Northern Central at Relay Howe, to the Junction of the 'Washing ton Branch, with the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad at Relay House, seven miles West of Baltimore, is built, then the dis tance. from,Relay House, on the Northein Central, to Washington, would be forty miles, making the total distance from New York to Washington city, by this route, two hundred and sixty-nine miles of a continutintelhr , of.u.ahreken of the same gauge, yietween Washington and New. York,, which will be nearly two hours shorter than-any other route, and without the vexations, delays or annoy ances experienced - either by the route via Philadelphia; or'n more circutious' route by Harrisburg. The lt. A; C. It. R. passes through one of the richest agricultural districts in our State, and for beautiful and magnificent scenery it cannot be excelled. It passes the far finned Litiz Springs, where may be seen a spontaneous flow of pure water gushing forth from the rocks, at the rate of thousands of gallons per hour. It also passes the Ephrata Mountain Springs, known as one of the most popular sum mer resorts in the State ; this and the Litiz springs, will, no doubt, dur ing the Summer be visited by thousands of persons from Washington, Baltimore, New York and Other places. The little excursion to Reading on Tuesday was a pleasant one, and all seem- , ed to enjoy themselves amazingly, espe cially our typographical friend Mr. Rau ek. The principal places of interest in the city was visited, among them the exten sive Brewing Establishment of Mr. F. Lauer, who is one of the directors of the Reading and Columbia Railroad, and is u •thous, affable and hospitable gentle man.

' Anothitt Draft Ordered for April 15th.

The 15th day of April is the time:appointed, and the draft, if the men shall not be raised by Voluntary - 'enlistments before that time,, will commence as soon there-, after as practicable. The Government bounties are also extended up to the 15th of April. The proportional quotas for the different -Wards, towns; townships', precincts, election" districts or counties, will be made known by the Provost Mar , shal-G eneial, and an account will be taken of the credits and deficiencies on former quotas. The news of this new draft will not much Surprisethe people; as premon itory symptoms of the sane have been foreshadowed by rumors from Washing ton for some days past, and now that the order has come all thiaccompanying air cumstances will rather afford relief than otherwise. We know now exactly what we have to do, and the rime in wide!' we l have to do it in. We have in this draft two things promised-which -will greatly facilitate matters and give general public, satisfaction at t c start—these are, that, the Provost. Marshal-General shall fur:- nish an account of the credits and defi ciencies on former quotas. and that the Government bounties as now paid will be extended to the 15th of April. The first of these will give ,the different Wards, districts and counties certain knowledge as to the number of men they must raise, and the second extemb; the aid of the Government bounties to tberAiberality of our citizens in furnishing recruits. This is in all probability the last call for sol diers that the Government will be re quired to make to pat down the Rebellion, and as it embraces an arm of the service not heretofore named in previous drafts, it will, no doubt, be more cheerfully and speedily responded to than any of the others. Numbers of our war vessels, it is said, are now detained from active service for want of men, and as this ser vice, independent of the bounties, offers peculiar inducement in the way of prize money for brave, ambitious and adven turous young men, there is no doubt a rush will now be made for the navy, both as seamen and marines. There is one month to do the work in, and it cau and will : be accomplished, without doubt.- -Renewedschafteagenderad ihroughout community by the "fact that Lieutenant-General GRANT is now i at the head of our armies, and an enthu-i siasm corresponding to the certainty of! speedy success under the prestige of his: 1 name and fortune, will call out the noble patriotism of the people for a grand final enlistment which shall end the Rebellion and establish the authority of the Gov ernment over every foot of the soil be longing to the United States.—Pli/adet- phia liquher, EDITOR, The News.

Lieutenant Nbsbit, First Pennsylvania Artillery, is published for• dismissal _in fifteen days Unless his 'abSenee without leave is explained. Plates for printing the new five per cent. bonds are nearly ready, and the Secretary will probably be ready to com mence their sale by the middle of April.

Wheil:lltere is a .lack of enterprise in _ ... an individual, or community , the energies of thefieoplei are alwayaengaged in-hunt ing up eicuses . for their own indolence, and in poiniing out the faults of others. The humMi `fanxill - eamilst remain' at a stand point ; if they are not progressing, they are retrograding. Columbiana will laugh at.the old dutchman, who refuses; to pmOise labor-saiing machines, _al hedging that the implements, used by his father, will answer for him; when they, by - their action, inaction, and indolence, declare to'the world that the accomino dations in wharfs and wharehouses, used commercial transactions, "carried on with Conestoga wagons and keel boats, are salt-lent for the commerce of an increas ed population, carried on with the mod ern improvements of Railroads and canals. I have heretofore called attention to the fact, that these are but two Central cross-1 ing points of the Susquehanna ; that' those points are Hat:risburg and Colum bia ; that the for Mer had about ten years the start, in becoming the terminus of several railroads, and has been rapidly increasing in population and commer cial importance ; that the time ll',IS ar riving when similar improvements would force a similar prosperity in Columbia. The Reading and Columbia road is (tom Pleted, which forms a direct line of roads, between Columbia and New York city. Negotiations arc already going on to eon solodate said roads, which if accomplish ed, will make it absolutely necessary for said consolidated road, to build another bridge at Columbia, and continue the road, direct from Wrightsville to Wash ington. The project of building the Susquehaana and Allegheny road from Wrightsville to Broad Top city, is being pushed with an energy that will insure its completion, at no far distant day; and the Columbia and Maryland line road is to be put under contract, early in the coming Summer. What prepartion, is Columbia making to iaccommodate the ' business, which is thus being forced up , miller? it is true that we oceasionly I hear Columbians (who buys their cloths in Philadelphia,) refer to the subject, and when a corner property is offered for sale, they will risk an apinion, that if Dilitmbia should become a business, or a manufacturing town, that these said corner property will become valuable.— If these same sugar/pas Culumbians were farmers, who had let their farms grow up to weeds and bushes through indolence, , perhaps they would tisk a similar opin liiiirtfilifiri in ..."6 - litrifil7ol' - - tiaiiliit - Faiiiet f along, clear o and cuttivate their firms that then their farms would become valuable ; but it is extremely doubtful, whether an idea would ever even crawl, into their heads that it is the duty of every flamer to cultivate his own farm. . ' par shopkeepers awl merchants get up, early, and make preparations for the little patronage they receive on market' days; and yet they seem to be perfectly I contented to let our town go to the fiddlers green, by pertniting our wharfs to fill up iu front, and our streets to be leneed up in the rear. Our wharf owners have become rich in the very trade they are blockading, through their neglect to keep the river navigable; and our farm ers in the rear, who refuse to open streets awl sell their lands, even at a thousand dollars per mere, owe four-fifths of the value of such land, to its proximity to the town, which they are trying to injure by preventing its growth. Col umbra is very much like the fable of the dog in the lounger, the old foggies in front and rear, occupy the manger, and the people (not donkeys.) stand and stow, when there is plenty within their grasp. Legislative enactments and Council ordi nances will open our streets. If w e wish an increase of patronage, we must sow the seed that will produce it ;• but if we wish an increase of poverty, then let us continue along in the do-nothing pul-H icy, adopted by our citizens and city' fathers ; the policy appears to be congen ial to both. Let us be very particular not to get any business men in our - Cowl; eil, for in that ease they might adopt im provements, which would increase the patronage of our town, and thereby de feat the poverty manufacturing system of our do-nothing policy PftoonEss Columbia, March 15th 1801.

Ross Browne, who is now in Arizona writes from the city of Tuscon on the idth of January, and thus speaks of the min eral wealth of that region : " I have been pretty extensively- over California and Washoc, but have not yet seen a country to compare with Arizona in the richness of its mineral productions. The average yield of the silver mines in the neighborhood of Tubac, imperfectly as they have hitherto been worked, is very far above anything yet discovered in Washoe. I have seen more solid masses es of precious metals, and richer ones, since my arrival here, than I ever saw before as the result of similar working. By the time this reaches you, we will, in all probability, have a Territorial Gov ernment; and, with what aid the military powers can afford, these silver mines will very soon show what kind of stuff the country is made of. Weaver's and Walk er's Diggings, La Paz and the Castle Dome Districts, are already exciting the attention of large prospecting parties.— Adtenturers are crowding in from Cali fornia in all directions, and strong parties 'are now being organized to . explore the . San Francisco Mountain range: . It.would pay the:Goveniment to send three thou sand trgops here for the permanent pro tection of the mines. , A" force of one hundred men would be sufficient to pro-' tect the entire silver region of Santaßiti; Cerro Colorado.and the Patagonia. .A few hundred cavalry in the •Plaoer.Dig gings,, and occasional stations at the dan gerous passes, would, give security-to life and property, and tiac result would be }mph a development of mineral : wealth as we have not yet seen in on: history.• I speak positively, for I knew what the. country gtioterival .S/t;ii*o.

The Foundei Of Pennsylvania On a small peninsula of Dorsetshire„ extending into the English Chinnel, l and converted by the rising of the tide - into an island known by the name of Portland Isle, Granville. Penn, the lineal descend ant and representative of our Founder, has built himselfa noble residence which, in honor of- his illustrious ancestor and the Commonwealth he established, he has named Pennsylvania Castle. If pride of ancestry were an allowable sentiment, this gentleman might take his place among those of loftiest pretensions, for in the history of no country-could any person age be found whose character surpassed in purity, strength and symmetry that of him who has the beit right to be regard ed as the historical founder of the Penn family. Those who have read Dixon are aware how utterly M Nacaulay's charges against William Penn are refuted by that writer. Indeed it would be incredible, if it were not a demonstrated fact, that any writer of Macanlay's standing, should risk his reputation by making accusations which bear such evidences of having been trumped up to serve an especial purpose; and it is, to say the least of it, extremely discreditable to M. Macaulay that he steadily declined, tothe hour of his death, not only all {•eparation to the character of the great man he had traduced,, but utterly ignored the fact that all his charges had been completely disproved. Those charges still stand in Macaulay's History of England, a.strikintt monument of dis ingennoOness on the part of their dis tinguished author. • It is not one of the best evidences of' the grasp of Penn's mind and of his in terest in the general welfare of the whole human family. that he was the first to propose a Congress of Nations fin. the purpose of settling all national diflieul.- ties without recourse to the bloody and expensive arbitrament of war. Dr. Frank lin, we believe, has generally received the credit of having originated the con ception, and he was certainly a staunch adve,eater of this substitute for the trial by battle. :But the original document, presented to Queen Anne, by Penn him self', was exhibited at the Peace Congress at Paris a few years ago, to the great ed ification of that hotly ; the substance of the proposition is summed up in these words of the document " the de sirableness of peace, and the truest means of it; to wit: justice and not war." 6'fit garittto.
