The annual report of the Mifflin and

favorable business aspect. Jos. Haffly,
esq., has taken out a license and de
votes particular attention to drawing
up deeds, agreements, mortgages, &c.,
either in or out of his township. Sev

Serious Evils, if not Wrongs.
PAYMENT OF SOLDIERS.
We do not much wonder that there
is daily manifested a stronger repug
nance to enter the army than ever, es
pecially among the poorer classes who
have families to leave, for it cannot be
disguised that there is something radi
cally wrong in the total want of sys-1
tern to pay off the troops. There are I
occasions of course when, from the na- j
tare of the service or the situation they i
are in, some reasonable excuse can be
made for a delay, but there is and can
be none for keeping men out of their
just dues when access can be daily had.
Thousands in the service have families '
at home who were dependent on their !
daily labor for support, and but for the !
belief that they would be promptly
paid would never have entered it volun
tarily. As the case stands, these fami
lies have been thrown on the relief
fund, and the taxpayers are thus com
pelled to pay thousands annually
through the neglect of those having this
matter in charge.
All this is wrong, shamefully wrong.
!No officer of the government from the
President down—no officer of the ar
my—no member ofCongress—no Judge
of any court —nor any employee in a
civil capacity—ought to be paid a sin
gle dollar until every soldier in the field,
in fort, in hospital, or icherevcr stationed,
HAS BEEN PAID OFF IN FULL, and theSO
payments ought to be made at least
once in throe months. When such a
system is inaugurated, much of the
difficulty now eneouutered in volun
teering would be avoided, and even a !
draft shorn of its greatest dread to the |
poor man, for lie would at least feel !
that in a few months he could gladden
tho hearts of those left at homo by*
sending them two-thirds or more of !
his pay.
DRAFT ORDERS.
Another subject of great complaint
and a source of much discontent, is the
manner in which business is conducted
in the Provost Marshal General's office.
Dealing directly with the people by
holding the power of calling them in
to service when a draft is ordered,
great care ought undoubtedly to be
exercised in all that is done. Yet who
can read the announcement made in
the Governor's Message that the quota
of this State under the call for 300,000
men was 66,999, or the recent order
that surplus men would not be credited
and not feel conscious that there is a
great want of common sense in those
who made these announcements. It is
true that officer has already backed
down from his numbers, and we also
hear it said the obnoxious order is not
properly understood; but if so, it only
proves what we assert, for any school
boy could have told in five minutes
that 67,000 could not be the.;W quota
of this State, and that the order for
not crediting surplus men on former
calls is wrong. We know nothing
about the head of that office beyond
his official transactions, but taking
those for a data the conclusion is irre
sistible that he is not the right man in
that place, or that he trusts matters of
vital interest to the people to some in
competent or self-important subordi
nate.
These things, comprising but a few
of many, are public wrongs; and we
believe it is time our Legislature
should, by joint resolution, instruct our
Senators and members of Congress to
call in a body on the President, lay
these grievances before him, and so
licit him as Commander-in-Chief to see
that the soldiers are paid off, and that
the Provost Marshal's orders on sub
jects affecting so many interests be
first sent to him or some other sensible
man for approval before tlicy are made
public.

smoothes the way for much needed

During tho past year a company

THIRD ANNUAL REPORT
OF THE
Mifflin and Centre County R. R.
January 9, 1865.
In accordance with the 17th section
of the General Railroad Law of this
| Commonwealth, the President and Di
rectors of the Mifflin and Centre Coun
ty Railroad Company submit to the
stockholders the following report:
"When the report of last year was
i made to the Stockholders, we expected
that before the time for another annu
al meeting we would be able to an
nounce the completion of our road to
' Milroy. but a number of unforeseen
i events have united in preventing the
fulfilment of our expectations.
| difficulty of obtaining labor, and the
; large advance in wages and in the cost
| of materials, have retarded the com
pletion of the work, and increased its
cost. We are however pleased to be able
to inform the stockholders that the
grading of the road has been completed
to Milroy, and the rails have been laid
as far as Reedsville, seven miles from the
point of connection with the Pennsyl
vania Railroad at the Lewistown sta
tion. And although the road has not
yet been regularly opened for general
business, yet the engineer having placed
on the road a construction train, for
transporting materials, and in connec
tion therewith a car or cars for passen
gers, and transported freight cars to
and from the Pennsylvania Railroad,
the amount of business so done, with
very imperfect facilities, is sufficient to
show that the road is likely to surpass
the highest expectations of its friends
in the extent of the business to be
transacted upon it.
In a few days we expect to have
completed a lease to the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company, when the road will
be formally opened for the transporta
tion of freight and passengers, and we
doubt not that under the management
of that company the business of the
road will be largely increased.
In regard to the early completion of
the road to Milroy, we are sorry to say
that our expectations are not very
sanguine. By our agreement with the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company we
were to pay to that company the sum
of twenty-five thousand dollars, (§25,-
000,) and to secure the right of way
and pay all damages to property; and
the Pennsylvania Company agreed to
cash our bonds to the amount of one
hundred thousand dollars (8100,000.)
At the time this agreement was made
(1862) this amount (§125,000) was con
sidered amply sufficient to finish the
road, with all the necessary build
ings, &c., to Milroy. Owing however
to the great increase in prices, we have
already expended more than that
amount, leaving still about five and a
half miles of road to be finished. The
Pennsylvania Company have advanced
nearly twenty thousand dollars (§20,-
000) beyond the one hundred thousand
(100,000) they agreed to pay, and are
not disposed to proceed any further
in the work, unless the people who are
most interested in the road are willing,
by additional subscription ot stock, to
aid in its completion. This we think
they are called upon to do, and with
the data furnished by the operations of
last few weeks, we feel no hesitation in
urging them to subscribe to the stock,not
only in order to secure the completion
of the road to Milroy, but as a safe and
profitable investment of their money.
The whole cost of the road to Milroy
with all the necessary buildings, de
pots, water stations, Ac., will be about ■
two hundred thousand dollars (§200,-
000.)
The interest on this sum at 6 per
rent, would be 112,000 00
Allowing 50 per cent, of receipts
for expenses, this would re
quire an annual receipt of say 24.000 00
Or a weekly receipt of " 461 54
Now the receipts for the week
ending Dec. 31,1864, were :
For passengers $228 35
For freight 162 00
300 35
And for the week end'g Jan.7,'65
For passengers 197 80
For freight 192 50
390 30
A weekly average of $390 32%
being very nearly sufficient to pay all
expenses and six per cent, on the whole
cost of the road to Milroy, and this
with very inadequate facilities for bu
siness, without computing the large in
crease of business which would follow
the opening of the road to Milroy, and
also without counting anything for
mails, Express Co. freight or bridge
toll, which latter items may very rea
sonably be estimated to yield at least
82,600 per annum, or 850 per week.
Adding this amount to the average
weekly receipts of the last two weeks,
we have already very nearly the
amount required to pay all expenses
and 6ix per cent, on the whole cost of
the road.
The total cost of the work as fur as
it has progressed is as follows:
Chargeable to gradation and masonry $31,283 18
•' bridge superstructure 40,775 81
" roadway " 74,285 37
" depots and stations 495 99
engineering and expense 7,684 89
" land damages and incidentals 4,836 69
$162,361 93
To complete the road as contempla
ted to Milroy, will require an addition
al outlay of from twenty to thirty
thousand dollars. In view of the im
portance of finishing the road to that
point, we would urge all the friends of
our enterprise to unite in subscribing
to the stock of the company, feeling
satisfied that in that event the benefit
of the road will be secured and that
the investment will be both safe and
profi table.
Respectfully submitted,
SAMUEL MACLAY.
President.
WAR NEWS.
Capture of Fort Fisher, 2500
Prisoners and 72 Guns.
V\ o have official intelligence this
morning of the capture of Fort Fisher
b\ assault on last Sunday afternoon.
After three hours of a heavy navy fire,
the assault was made at 3 p. m. on
the 15th. Gen. Curtis's brigade led
and as soon as it got on the west end
of the land front, was followed by Pen
nybaker'sand later Bell's. After des
perate fighting. gaining foot by foot,
and with severe loss, at 5 p. m., we
had possession of about half the land
front. Abbott's brigade was then ta
ken from our line facing Wilmington,
and put into Fort Fisher, and on push
ing it forward, at 10 p. m. it took the
rest of the work with little resistance.
I ostmasters are obliged to receive all
treasury notes for stamps and postages, if
clearly genuine, no matter how torn or de
faced they may be, provided one twentieth
part thereof be not missing—and fractional
currency, it not one tenth part be missing.
f">uch notes and currency as are unfit for
re issue should be Lept separately and
distinct, and returned, as occasion requires,
to the Treasury of the United States,
Washington, in sums of not less than three
dollars, to be exchanged for new.
Hon. fhaddeus Stevens was urged,
by his Republican colleagues of Pennsyl
vania in Congress, to allow his name to be
used as a candidate for appointment in the
Cabinet. Io this kindly offer the veteran
legislator interposed a firm objection, on
the ground of having DO aspiration for
such a position.

The Lungs. Ihe cold and changeable
weather tells terribly on those who have weak
and diseased lungs. Many are suffering at
this time with affections of the throat and
lungs. Bronchitis is becoming a very com
mon affliction. Ihose who are predisposed
to Colds, Coughs, Bronchitis, &c., should
avoid the night air. There are many prepa'
rations recommended for these diseases, but
there is not a doubt that Dr. Strickland's
Mellifluous Cough Balsam is the best remedy.
We have known it to effect cures in she worst
cases of Coughs, Colds, Bronchitis, Asthma,
and primary cases of Consumption. 1
Pinkerton's Waiioo and Calisaya Bit
ters stands the first in public favor and con l
fidence, as being the best and most efficient

are put up with the utmost care—compound
ed with the greatest accuracy—so that the
best and most desirable results will be ob'
tained from their use. Pure Bourbon Whis
key. the best liquor for medicinal purposes,
is always used to preserve these Bitters.
Persons suffering from Dyspepsia will find
immediate relief from the use of one bottle of
these Bitters, if taken according to directions.
