the I'r-nnsvlvanla Railroad-"lts Manage
ment, Ue,
Although this road is being constructed
hy a company, and, as such, might in some
measure be deemed a private affair, yet the
magnitude of the undertaking—the vast
powers conferred upon it by the Legisla
ture—and the effect, either for good or
evil, according to its management, it must
ultimately have on the vallev of the Juni
ata—-rcfhler it a proper subject of com
ment and an object of jealous vigilance ;
for if this is not done, abuses will creep
in, and, instead of a public benefit, we
shall have a vast heartless and soulless cor
poration, swallowing with anaconda greedi
ness everything within its reach.
Whatever opinion may be entertained
by others, it seems to us that there is
something radically wrong- in its manage
ment —that there is either too much placed
on the shoulders of one man, or else the
Hoard ot Directors and principal Engineers
do not pay that personal attention to its
interests which they ought to do. There
is besides a great deal too much petty
scheming—little acts unbecoming to any
one—and a grasping spirit which, there is
reason to believe, is intended to minister
more to private ends than to the benefit of
the companv.
W hat, for instance, has been the course
pursued in relation to the location of a Ma
chine Shop ■ In making choice of a pro
per site for such a building, one would na
turally suppose that a few dollars and cents
—either as a bonus or in the purchase of
land—would not influence the parties to
whom the stockholders have delegated the
power. \et what has been the course
pursued ! Why almost every little town
along the road was told (in a confidential
manner of course) that a great spirit of!
liberality might induce the companv to
locate the machine shop. <kc., there—that i
it would be the making of the place, en- '
hance property, and rapidly increase pop
ulation ! Even to this day, this under
handed policy seems to be continued, for
we notice in a MitHintowif paper that it is
• confidently expected" the company will
build their shop there; Huntingdon too
still has some hopes ; while the holders of;
lots at Altona, six miles north of Holli
daysburg, announce that 44 it is well known
that the Pennsylvania Railroad Company '
have selected this place (Altona) for the
erection of their main machine and other
shops, and are note building the same."
In so important a matter, convenience for
making repairs, the point from whence j
assistance could be most readily sent in
case of accident, combined with other ad
vantages for accelerating business, ought to
be the governing motive in making a selec- '
lion, and when made, there ought to be no
secrecy of its locution.
Another most objectionable feature is the
company embarking in the grog-shop
business! Little as it may seem, and
startling, perhaps, to some, the same
Engineers and Board who last winter de
termined to discontinue Sunday travelling •
are now spending the earnings of the road
in erecting costly tavern stands, at which
lhey will of course compel passengers to
cat and drink, no matter how much out of
time or place, or do without. Of all others, i
this is about the smallest business in which
a companv can engage, and will ultimately j
result in loss, as almost every attempt of
the kind by other companies has.
Another error committed by those hav
ing the direction of affairs was the running
of two trains on Sunday ; but as this is
now in a measure obviated by a change of
hours, we will pass it over.
Some time ago it will be remembered
that the Philadelphia papers a great
flourish about the directors having reduced
the fare to a uniform rate of three rents a
mile , yet in defiance of the resolution thus
paraded, all passengers from this place to
llarrisburgare charged #l.9o,when by their
own measurement it is less than 01 miles.
As this point furnishes more travel than any
station on the road, these seven cents extra
from each passenger will amount to a con
siderable sum in the course of a year.—
Who put on this extra charge is a matter
some of our citizens may at a future day i
inquire into.
While richly cushioned scats and splen
did cars are provided for the silk and broad
cloth gentry, a miserable looking machine,
more resembling the old keel boats former
ly used on the Juniata than anything else,
is dignified with the title of M ay Car, in
which our farmers and others dressed in
homespun are politely stowed away.
There are other matters that might be
referred to, but as I do not wish to do more
than call public attention lo subjects that
have been complained of here and else
where, I will close with the hope that those
most interested in the welfare of the road
will take these matters into consideration
before going too far, arid apply the remedy.
The interests of a corporation ought always
to go hand in hand with the people whom
it was designed to accommodate and benefit;
if it does not do this, it is no longer a ben
efit, but an evil. FRANKLIN.
MIFFLIN COUNTY, Junf, 1850.
Popri.ATION OF THE MLAMI COCNTRV.
The Secretary of State in Ohio, in his es
timate of the population of the Stale, seta
rlown fifteen counties in the Miami coun
try as having increased Jort y-three per
cent, in the last ten years. The first set- '
tlement of the Miami country was made
but a little more than sixty years since.
The above counties comprehend, in round
numbers, 0,500 square miles, and contain
about a half a million of people ! This
is a density of 77 to a square mile ; much
more than that of the State of New \ ork,
which is but 50 to a square utile. This
District will probably contain, in twenty-,
five years, a million of inhabitants.

corruptions of politics, and too strict party at
isclinienta ll er Stale debt is overwhelming
and her taxes oppressive; yet, with all thts
■ , U P°" ll,e people, her treasures are
I d , a . with a " ""Provident hand.
All the income, or nearly so, of her public irn
| provements, is scattered along the lines to keep
, them passable, mich less in good repair. The
system of paying otf active partizans with fat
jobs supplying lumber, and other materials,
i lor hauling, &c.,—has swallowed up our tolls
or many years, while our State debt and our
taxes have gradually increased.
II the people knew why this was so, and how
to app y a reniedy. we are confident they would
not fo d their hands until the end wa/accom
j pushed. \\ e propose briefly to oiler some hints
i lor their consideration, trusting that they will
see and feel their force.
h or many years all Ihose officers who expend
; the public funds, and settle the accounts, have
been in the hands ol one party. Our Canal
< commissioners, our Superintendents and Su
pervisors, and the Auditor General have been
i ot one family ; and it is not necessary to charge
open corruption, to prove that this fact alone
has cost Pennsylvania many hundreds of thou
sands of dollars. Party prejudice, party at
tachments, and party partialities, too often mis
lead the judgement. There has been no check
or watch upon their actions—there was •' no
one to make them ashamed or afraid," even
though they might ba 100 honest to steal, out
right, the treas ares of the people—yet, 44 when
ones self is in the scale, it is hardly rightly ad
justed."
J n every State where part y power has changed
hands occasionally, we lind the condition of the
treasury always better than in those States
where one party has been permitted to rule su
preme, and have grown insolent and corrupt,
because of their strength.
For twelve years the mysteries behind the
curtains of tiie Auditor General's cffice have
never been exposed to the public eye—(and
may that not be one reason why just st the tune
when a Whig Governor would expose the se
crets of that. 44 prison house" the r ppointment
was taken out of his hands and given to the
people, beiievmg that they were "still safe in
their party strength ?) The people are now
called upon to choose from among their own
number some person to fill that office. Do they
desire to know its secret history ? It so, they
must not select one of the old party managers,
whose interests are to keep them still in igno
rance. Again, would it not be more certain to
guard the money of the people it the auditing
of these accounts of political favorites was to
be done by one whose pride would be to detect
and expose anj and all abuses of power?
Would not that very thing make the disbursing
agents more careful—perhaps more honest?
Nothing can be more certain. It would save
for the State thousands and thousands of collars.
Freemen! and Work-doers !—'Taxpayers ! and
State debt payers!— Would it not be well tor
you to think over this subject and act at the
noxt election as common sense shall dictate?
You ail remember how the lamented Power,
while Canal Commissioner, scared from the
Treasury of the State the vultures of party,
who sought to impoverish it by their lavish aid
imprudent apptoprialioue. Has the lesson been
thrown away ? will you permit another chance
to pass and refuse to set one to watch two '<'
While one member of the Canal Board is di
rectly—politically—interested in watching the
other two—(it matters but little to the people
fur what motive ) —the temptation and the abil
ity to do wrong is much lessened. Fear, if
not honesty, make the majority more cautious,
more prudent,and less careless and extravagant,
and the result is that the money of the taxpayer
is more sparingly and more properly applied.
The opportunity is again offered to divide the
political character ot the Canal Board ; und as
it may be that both parties need watching, each
will be as a watch set over the other, ud the
people will teap the harvest in the replenished
Treasury. This is worthy of every man's con
scientioua consideration ; and then it demands
that action at the election which republican
integrity will endorse as well done.
Let every Farmer, Mechanic, Liborer, and
those who " ait at home at ease," examine these
hints, and see if they cannot profit thereby.
Destructive Fire at Columbia.
Correspondence of the Daily New
COLOMBIA, June 17, 1850.
DEAR SIR Our town was visited last night
by a most terrific conflagration. It originated
about 10 o'clock in a large frame house, on the
west side of the Columbia Railroad, occupied
by a number ol Irish and German families, and
owing to the combustible nature of the houses
and a cooper shop adjoining, the flames spread
with fearful rapidity, and soon another frame
dwelling on the south was completely enveloped
in a sheet of fire. The Green Tree Hotel, kept
by Mr. E. A. Howard, and a large warehouse,
owned by Mr. N. Evans, and occupied by F. S.
lllentz, Esq., on the south, were also burned to
the ground, whilst on the north, a large building
opposite the Washington Hotel, in which vanous
branches of business were carried on, was com
pletely destroyed. Among other things the of
fice of the Columbia Spy, which was in the last
mentioned building, was burned to the ground.
After the fire had raged for some time, the lum
ber piles took fire, and all the lumber between
Locust and Walnut streets, with the exception
of one or two piies, was burned to the ground.
The bridge was discovered to be on fire at one
time, but owing to the energy of Mr. Wm.
McConky, the Collector of the Tide-water Ca
nal Company, there was no material injury done
to it. A chimney in one of the houses fell down
during the raging of the flames, and struck a
man by the name of Augustus Myers, crushing
his skull and face in a most shocking manner.
He died in about an hour afterwards. The loss
in all is estimated at about $50,000 r. w. j.
A NOVELTT. —The keel of a schooner has been
laid at one of the boat yards at Hanisburg, I'a.,
below the railroad bridge. She will be floated
to tidewater when completed.
The steamboat Kosciusko left Albany on
Thursday, for New York, for si-t and a quarter

Judge Johnston, the Whig candidate for
Governor in Ohio, opens the campaign by
declaring himself in favor of the immedi
ate and untrammelled admission of Cali
fornia into the Union, and against the
compromise bill. He is in favor of the
application of the Jeffersonian Proviso to
the territories; and in case that cannot
pass, then he adopts the President's plan,
as by far the best of those submitted to
Congress.

WARM SPRINGS,
PERRY COUNTY- PA
TUIR undersigned begs leave to inform the public, that
he has recently purchased the Warm Springs, in
1 erry county, I'a , and lias improved and refurnished the
buildings for the entertainment of visiters, in a style
calculated to ensure comfort and convenience to all who
may feel disposed to patronize the establishment.
These springs are situated on the hanks of and empty
into Sherman's creek, a stream associated with the thrill
ing scenes between the early settlers of that part of
Pennsylvania and the aborigines, whose hunting grounds
lay on its margin. They are II miles from Carlisle,
(through which the Cumberland Valley Railroad passes
from Chambersburg to Harrisburg,) from which place
visiters can at all times procure excellent conveyances.
T hose also from the east, wishing to reach the springs by
the Central Railroad, can do so by taking passage to the
Ditncannon iron Works, (13 nnles distant from the
springs) where coaches are constantly in readiness to
convey them thither; and those coming from the west
on the same road,can at all limes obtain easy conveyan
ces at the Railroad Hotel at Newport, which is but a few
miles distant from the springs.
The finalities of the water at these springs are most
extraordinary indeed for the speedy and permanent cure
of SCRt)FI!L.I, TKTTF.R, h.ruptions of the ft kin, and
in fact every epecien'of Cvtaneovs Ditto sea He hag
hundreds of certificates, showing the wonderful cures
effected by using this water internally, and by bathing in
it, obtained as well from as from those residing
in the immediate neighborhood of th- springs, who have
not only experienced the infallible efficacy of the water
themselves, but witnessed the game upon others. Prof.
JAMES < BOOTH has analyzed the waters, and found
them to contain S 3 grains of ohd matter in the gallon,
which is composed as follows :
Carbonate of lime, ... 2.G07
magnesia, - . 1.33 ft
Alkaline salts,chiefly chlorides, with a por
tion of sulphate, - - 1 093
Silicia 0.C03
Organic matter, . . . 2 ft'JT
9.200
There are also at the same place half a dozen of other
springs, of different descriptions, among which is one of
sulphur and one of cold water
It may not be improper to state why a knowledge of the
extraordinary medical qualities of these springs has not
been more extensively known than is indicated by the
certificates of those only who have resi led in their im
mediate neighborhood. Years ago the property fell into
the bands of a number of ln-r, ho were indisposed to
undertake the re-pomibilily , ( makir git a,• lace iff pub
lie entertainment—probably because the patronage of the
public would not have justified the undertaking, a at
that time (before the spirit of improvement had rend red
distant and difficult points of speedy and cheap accc-- 1
its location was out of the way, and the roads to it roup;,
and almost impassable. At the dealhof .Mr. Kennedy,
u fell into the hands of his heirs, neither of whom seem
ed disposed to take hold of it, but leased it to tenants,
more for the cultivation of the land than a regard to the
use of the water It was finally rented to Mr. Hippie,
(now proprietor of a large hotel it, Tremont. Pa ) who
made arrangements to accommodate the public, and dur
ing bis term many invalids availed themselves of this
opportunity to visit and test its medical qualities Mr
Hippie however retired in u short time, and the pro|ertv
agiin fell into the hands of the heirs, and remained so
until proceedings were instituted in the Orphans' Court
for its sale. It was ordered to be sold, and the subscri
ber became the pun hascr- It wilt thus be sen ibat with
the exception of the short time it was held bv Mr. Hip
pie, no efforts were made to bring it into notice.
The country round the springs and neighborhood is di
versified by cultivation and beautifully wild an 1 pictu
resque scenery, abounding iti game, while the stream
passing through the property affords fine fishing. livery
attention wiil be paid to the comfort and convenience of
guests, and Ilie charges so moderate, that all may avail
themselves of the benefits of the Water.
