The New York Herald bag had correspondent ot I'liiladelphis to look at tlio grand new ilneunio Ttmplo which is to bo dedicated on Iho 28th of September next. His description of this magnificent edifico if Tory full and clear and as we belicvo it will be road by many of our subscribers with groat interest wo transfer it to our oolumns. Tbe tcmplo is now In an advanced stale of completion, and from its im mense size anil imposing style of arch itecture is one of iho most conspicu ous publio buildings in the city. Much has boon said by New Yorkers and Hostoniana in pruise of their respec tive Mason io temples, but it is now generally conoeded thut tbe Philadel phia struoture far surpasses both as respoots sice, oostand beauty. - It will make two of that at Boston, and is a third larger than tbo temple in Sixth and Twenty-third strcot. It is of such imtneneo sice, and is filled with so many lodgo, chapter and comman dory rooms, that to thoso nnitiated it is almost a labyrinth. As it has novcr beon fully described a running sketch may not be amiss, as it gives evidonce that the Masons throughout tbe country are on Iho high road to prosperity, and as a brothoibood aro marching on in irrepressible phalunxes to success. It is composed on ti rely of finely dressed granite of a whitish load-colorod tint, is 250 foot in longtii, is 150 fool wide and is three stories in height. The grounds upon which it is built in Broad strcot, near mni kot, tngolbcr with Iho strucluro, cost the .Masons upwards of twelve hundred thousand dollars. The architecture of the building is a combination of the old and new schools admirably blocdcd, and is pleasing to Iho eye. Its TUItKI UNIQCi. TOWERS, reaching heavenward, can bo ' (con from the four qusrtorsoi the compass, and are as conspicuous landmarks to the 1'biiadelphians as the Herald build ing is to those of tho Long Island and Jersey shores. The inner musonry alone involved the consumption of 10,- 000,000 bricks, and tho number of cubic loetol granitoin tbeoulor walls, if known, would probably seem to tbe reader fubulons. The main entrance, on Broad strcot, It of the Venetian style of architecture,, and rosomblos perfectly tbp doprwoy to St. Mark's at Venioo. Once Inside, the magni tude and beauty of the edifice becomes apparent,. Broad and muasive stair ways, riehly enrved pillars and heavy and peculiarly shapod doors aud cor NOT MEN. nices of tho Norman and Golhio pat tern, with carved Musonio cabalistic signs in each, afford to the uniliatod unlimited sources of wondor and con jecture. - The main ball, upon entering, Is tvtonty feet wido from end to end, and 2M) foot In length. The floors of this hall and of aU the balls and pannages oi) both thia and tho principal floor above are laid with black and white marble tiles, in pattorns, with borders, and thero is a continuous wainscoat ing, four foot In heigh., of tbe finost Lisbon marblo, highly polished to the various halls. Two magnificent stairways lead to the Grand Lodue and Grand Chanter rooms, lodgo hulls and the asylum of tito uommandory. ibo-Urand Secre tary and Grand Treasurer's and the Grand Lodge Library and numerous other offices are situalod on the right and southern side of the main balL Walking to the northeast corner of the structure, the sutto of rooms of the Grand Master of Masons of Pennsylvania is oncountorod. Thoy are three in numbor, and consist of u reception, private secrotarys's and his own room, all of which are elaborate ly fitted up and would charm Solomon himself could he but onco have an op portunity of reclining in one of the richly carved divans and surveying the urchiteot'sand masons' handiwork. A mong the numorous npartmonls none attract more attention than THE EGYPTIAN HALL. It Is a marvel of massive grandour and solidity, with twelve elephantine columns extending around the ball, and are fac timiles of thoae in tho principal temples on the Nile. Each of tho walls of the hall is divided by columns, which stand clear of it, into five sections, all of which are enriched with panel decorations, consisting of variogateu borders. . iho master is well provided for in this hall, as his throne or chair is of the richest and most Imposing description. His ped estal, contrary to the conventional Masonio rule, is plucod nt the right of tho Ihrono, thus giving him aa unob structed view of bis brethren. It ib flunkod on cither side by two mysteri ous looking Sphynxos, who gaze with a solemn air of authority upon tho surroundings.' This boll has a scaling capacity for 250 persons. Wondering around among tho lubyrinthian passa ges of this hugo pilo of mortar a curi ously carved door, with symbolic dec orations, is met in tho norlheast cor ner of Iho principal floor. Once thrown open the interior of tho . NORMAL HALL is visible. This is a large apartment, richly wainscottod, and is furnished with quaint and' substantial styles of lurnituro. It is well ventilated, and has accommodations for over one hun dred parsons. Not a groat distance from this is the Ionic Hull. Its style is puro, graceful and elogant, but une luborute. Its naturul vontilution is porfoct, by its exposure on two (ides by numerous windows to the open air. Its furniture is composed exclusively of wood, and tho beauty of the room is further enhanced by twenty odd marblo columns, carved and plain, which extended around its walls. It is seventy-five foot long by fifty feot wide, and is thirty feet high. Next in dimensions and beauty of design is the Banqueting Hall, on tho north sido of the structure. This ball is 150 loot in longib by 60 feot in breadth, and will seat comfortably upwards of five hundred persons. It will be used during the dodicatory oeromonios, and is now being rapidly overhauled. Tho sixtoen nniquo columns that stretch through it in pairs give a grand aspect, and when its heavily curved tablos groan bonoalh tho bountiful repast tbut will be spread for tho distinguish ed guests, and its immense chitndoliors ure illuminated, it will show off to groater advantage. The cuisino de partment of this hall is located in tho basoment bonoalh, and in Bir.e and ap pointments will compare favorably with the largest holoU in the country.

I congratulate you and tbo stock holders of the Texas and Pacific upon tho completion of the connection be tween tbo citios of Shrevcport and Dallas. Thislinkonublosihe products oi Uonlral and bouthern Texas to Ond with osbo and eoonomy of transit their natural market. Tho rich vul loys and tooming prairies at tho heads of Subino and tho Trinity, concentra ting their productions at tho one city, will pour thorn in an ever-Increasing stream through the olhor to the com mercial centre of the eoulh-wesl, and but a few months will elapse until a north-eastern and an eastern outlot will be addod to tbe facilities now yielded you by your great river. No man can at this timo justly estimate the sizo and volumo of that tido of production wbon at Ils full, for no whore else upon this broad continent is found a territory that can equal its capacity to sustain an enormous pop ulation and to yield in rich return the labor there expended. Tho richest valley In my native State does not equal in produolivo capacity tbo soil that lies, fat, black and waxy, on tho head of tbo Trinity. Tho agricultu rist who tills tbo rich prairies of Il linois or Iowa, boasts of his enormous yield of grain, but his largest crop is bis poorest profit, for ovor-produclion and cost of transportation, aro barri ers to high prioos, while in oentrol and northern Texas all tho grain neod od for local and personal purposos ean be successfully raised, and upon tho land not needed for this, cotton is a Buro crop and is ready salo. In the bleak winlors of Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa and Minnesota, the live slock of tho farmer must for five months bo housed and fed, while in this favored region they grow into money without shelter in winter, and wilu tho sma est modicum of care. In these two essential points aio wealth for tho pro ducer, population for tho locality, trade for the cities, and a just roturn for the capital iuvestcd by the truns. porler. Placing implicit reliance up on the results that aro to flow from tho inoxhnustiblo riches of the coun try thoir lines traverse, the mon who aro building tho work and control tho policy of the Texas and Pacifio, have here dono that which has novor before been performod on this conlinont. In less than ten months they bavo graded and bridged nearly four hun dred miles of railway, have laid tho track, built the machine shops, ware houses, soolion bouses and tanks, and fully equipped with engines and olhor rolling stock nearly one-hnlf thereof, have '.lie iron and tho ties upon the ground to complete tho whole before tbo 1st of Dooembor, 1873, and have changed tho gauge and fully equipped an old line of sixty-six miles, so that by that date they will have in full op eration nearly fivo hundred miles of railway within tbe Ktato of Xoxas. In doing 4his they have expended about 110,000,000, and neither bond nor mortgage to tho extent of one dol lar has been oxecutod for this purpose, but mon of largo fortunes, ot indom itable enorgy and of undoubted integ rity have devoted thoir personal means to the task, and thus endeavored to show thoir faith by their works. Such mon do not contomplnte a failure Their enlorpriso, too, is in every sonso a national ono, and is recognizod as such by govornmontul creaiion and endowment. "With Its main lino reaching tho Pa cifio at San Diego, and its branoh to San Francisco, uniting with tho main trunk in southern California, and thenco crossing the Colorado of the West at Yuma, following the Gila through Arizona, traversing southern New Mexico to the Bio Grande and entering Texas At El Paso, ils locomo tive will bo tho atNtnf courier of oivili zalion to a large territory of now in hospilablo and wasto land. Tbo in flux of population that will follow in its wake will save to the Government tbo enormous sums of money annually exponded in protecting the frontier and repressing Indinn depredations, whilst the facilities it will yield for transporting machinery and supplies to develop the vast mineral resources of the country it ponetratos, and of the norlborn provinces ot Moxico, will bring a large addition to the ag gregate wealth of tho nation. With its diroct eastern connection now al most assured from this point to Yicks burg and Jackson, its line from ocean to ocean will be six bundrod miles shortor than that of any of ils rivals, whilo the ease and choapnossof trans portation found here and nt Yicks borg, by water to Now Orleans and tbe gulf, as woll as the line of road projected and certain to bo made, bence to Now Orleans, will enable ores and other heavy articles to reach tha Northern citios at ohonper rales than by any other linos. In tho com pletion of ils trans-continer.tnl divi sion from Sherman to a junction with tho Cairo k Pulton rond, w hich will bo cfl'ecled by December, 1873, tho pople of tbo northern portion of Tex as will find, for tbeii cotton and cat tle, easy communication with St. Lou is, Memphis and Cairo, by wny of Lit tlo Bock, and the same date will find tbo JofTorson division at tho same point of junction and your city and New Orleans will sharo in the profits certain to bo drawn from tho rich re sources of the lied rivor counties of Texas. In the completion of the lat ter division, communioation bctwoon Galveston and Si. Louis will be made ono hundred and fifty miles shortor than by any existing lino, nnd the poople of the wholo of Texas will thereby hovo a speedy and a short lino north. Competition for business brings cheaper freights to the poople, and tho completion of these lines brings into the field an earnest com petitor for your trado.

From thia stand point this enlorpriso is invaluable to Texas, and it becomes, as all ber pro gressive statesmen bnve socn, her cer tain avenue to prominonco, position and woallh. When wo pass her west ern border we are more than balf way to the Pacific. In our progress thith er, wo drivo the frontier boforo us, and fill your rich valleys and rolling prairies with teeming population and taxable vulucs. Tho iron rail blunt, tho edge of the scalping knife and the war-whoop of the aavago is drowned in tho shriek of tbe locomotive. For five hundred miles ouromployeesmust take their lives in their hands, and our investments are jcopardiaed by the barbarous Indian. To stimulate us to encounter thoso dangers, to pro duce these results, and in so doing to yiold to those we represent a fuir re turn for their money, we nsk your sympathy and oncouragemont. We ecok no spociul exemptions or exclu sive privileges, but we do ask toler ance and an open door to fair compe tition. Coming as many of us do from the north, we do not disguise our purpose to make the Texas and Pacific a paying iovoBtment. Nature has endowed litis lino with rich min eral wealth and a genial climate. We come to grasp the advantages theso afford and to try to bring good divi dends to our stockholders, and mate rial development to tho regions we traverse Wo deprecate unfounded prejudices : we ask to bo tried by a just and reasonablo rule Our enter- frise is as well yours as it is ours. f advancement in wealth and popu lation be worthless, then you may rightly judgo us severely j but so long as labor, population and material pro gress aro tbe essential elemonts in State and national prosperity, just so long aro thoso who try to produce them entitlod to be suslaincd, sup ported and encouraged by all who love the State and dceire iU growth. In the construction of a great work, with tho energy and forco that is in dispensiblo to success and economy, as well as in the control and opera tion of a new road, it will invariably result that mistukos occur nnd indi viduals suffur, and if in tho onward progress ot Our work such bavo hap pened, or shall again happen, it will not bo tbo fuult of the management of either department of the enterprise if they are not corrected. Wo shall endeavor to do the right ; if we fail to do so, and you aro hurt thereby, inform us of your wrong and wo will apply tho remedy. With tho oarnostbope that the com pletion of tho eastern branches of the Texas and Pacifio may bring to your city Inrgcly increased population and business, and with assurances on tho part of the management of the road of its determination to givo overy practical facility to ease and cheap ness of transportation, I again tendor yon my hearty congratulations. The Centennial. Meeting; of the Executive Committee. W'o are indebted to the Altoona Tribune for tho proceedings of the first meeting of tho Centennial F.xecutivo Cotntniileo of the State of Pennsyl vania, held at tho Logan House, in that city, on tho 26 day of August. Tho attendance indicated a warm feel ing ot interest in the success of this groat enterprise. Hon. Wm. Biglcr, of Clearfield county, acted ns Presi dent of the meeting, and Hon. Samuel M.

The Sub-Committee of tho Board of Financo soleoted for tho State bavo determined to ask Iho poo plo of Pennsylvania for at least half a million of dollars exclusive of tbe city of Philadelphia. This amount is deemed tho least that would suffice to placo tha Keystone Stnto in the proud position which she should occupy in this noble and patriotic work, and it is hoped that this movemont mav re sult in socuring a much larger amount. lo tins end they determined to ap point a Centennial Executive.

Suid county CommiltiesandSub Committees shall, if they deem it expedient, carry ouV the plun of apportionment to each cit izen, or to each as they may know to be ablo lo contribute. Tbo proper and easy method of doing this, will be to take tho borough, township or ward duplicate and assign such number of sbaros as they may think proper to each name.
