B*L, We can assure all concerned that we have no particular anxiety to , have subscribers on our list who will pay if they choose, or set their own time and manner a year or two hence for doing so. It takes money nowa days to publish a paper, as well as to live, and we neither can nor will give unlimited credit to any person or for anything connected with our business. Our terms are plain-and distinot: All subscriptions are payable in advance, j or within three months to old subscri-i bers, and after that time $2. Our ; •charge, $1.50, is far below what most i papers arc now published at, and the j only way to continue it at that price j is for its patrons to keep up their for mer reputation of being tho best pay ing list in this part of the State. Subscribers oit of the county or State are reminded that all such papers are discontinued at tho expiration of the time paid for. Railroad Companies at issue. Quite a spirited contest is now going \ on in the Supreme Court of this State | between tho Pennsylvania Railroad j Company and the companies parties to an agreement for extending the At lantic and Great Western through this j State, so as to make a new through line from the west to Philadelphia and New York. This route would pass over tho. Philadelphia and Reading, East Pennsylvania and Catawissa roads, and thence pass through Union and Centre counties westward. It would take some reading to arrive at the merits of the points at issue, save that it is a warfare for rail supremacy or competition, as the lawyers on both sides make the case so clear that it is and is not a blow at Philadelphia, as almost by necessity to leave the impar tial reader on the fence. Republican Convention- Tine State Central Convention have fixed the time for holding the Republi can State Convention for nominating a candidate for Governor, on March 7th, at Harrisburg. This time is not far off, and the question of the candi date will necessarily be actively dis cussed. A number of gentlemen have .been spoken of; but there is little doubt that Gen. Geary, now of Cum berland, late of Westmoreland, John Cessna, Esq., of Bedford, or Mr. J. K. Moorehead, of Allegheny, will be the man. The Suequehanna Fisheries. Gen. Cameron, President of the Fish Convention, has appointed the follow ing committee, to take charge of and perfect t>e bill to be presented to the Legislature for its adoption, and which provide® for tl\e removal of all obtrnc tio*is to tho passage of fish along the Susquehanna and its tributaries : Jas.

Some of the ChicMtp capitalists are about to erect f large cotton mil! inir city. Negro Insurrection! Since it has been demonstrated by the Government that negroes will hght, the people of the South seem considerably agitated on the subject of negro insurrections. If there should be an uprising of the Southern blacks, it will be because thej" have been either tempted, incited, or driven to it by the whites themselves. W hilo there is scarcely anything said about the mat ter in the North, the Southern people and Southern press are constantly agi tating it, and in their discussions of the question suggest to the negroes motives which they would otherwise have never thought of, besides creating the false impression that there is a party at the North ready to co operate with them. It is said that an ostler was once asked by a priest at confessional whether ho had ever greased the teeth of horses to prevent their eating the allowance of oats. He replied in tho negative. On a subsequent occasion, however, ho acknowledged that he had done so, stating that he did not know that greasing horses' teeth would produce that result until the priest informed him. In like manner, it may well be doubted whether the colored people would ever have thought of an insur rection if the whites had not so persis tently kept the idea before them. It is the opinion of many Northern men now in the South that there is a deep plot, tacitly formed perhaps, to bring on an insurrection of the blacks, in order to furnish a pretext for mas sacreing them, and obnoxious North ern whites with them. After tho hor rors perpetrated at Andersonville and Fort Pillow, we are prepared to give credence to such a report. It seems confirmed by the fact that, in their in tercourse with the colored people, Northern men generally, and even offi cers of the Government, are followed by spies and informers, in search, prob- ' ably, of some plausible pretext to be used against them in case of an out break. In one instance this needless espionage was deservedly chastised.— A detective employed by the Freed men's Bureau, in Wilmington, N. C., was arrested by tho chief of police in that city, and was on his way to the watch-house when they fell in with a squad of soldiers. "Take this man to the guard-house," said the detective. The soldiers, recognizing the detective, and acting upon previous instructions, obeyed, and tho chief of polke became himself a prisoner. But, should the Southern people fail to either tempt or incite the negroes to insurrection, they may yet drive them to it. The frequent murder of unoffending colored people in some localities, the burning of their churches and school-houses, the shameless viola tion of contracts made with them, and other flagrant abases, tend in this di rection. We wish not to see it, but should there be an uprising of the blacks, it will be the fault of the South ern people themselves. Proceedings of Congress Congress is still engaged in devising ways and means to properly legislate for the chaotic Statessouth,and though nothing has yet been perfected, the House occasionally gives unerring in dications that if the late rebels will not quietly find their level, Congress will teach them where it is. The late ! %ote making suffrage dftnocratic (ac- ' cording to Webster) in the District ; shows that that body will not bo tri- ■ fled with. Some important amend- i ments to the constitution will be pro posed, and until these are perfected and adopted, we do not believe either House will admit any reconstructed i southerners into the couwcila of the nation.

Washington in order general 6 fOOUI 006 of Kob,rl E - Lee, the traitor Pennsylvania Legislature Hon. M. S. Quay, of Beaver county, has introduced a bill in the House, which provides for an act of justice to the defenders of the Government that cannot fail to command the sup port of every just man in the Common wealth. In plain terms, says the Tel egraph, it provides for exempting ev ery officer and private honorably mus tered out of the service of the United States, since September Ist, 1861, from payment of taxes levied to liquidate debts incurred by the payment of mil itary bounties. The money borrowed to pay bounties, was disbursed to save entire communities from the draft. Those who were exempt from service iu the army by filling up the quotas of entire districts by the payment of bounties, are the parties responsible for the debt thus incurred. These par ties have reaped the benefit of the bounty system. They wero enabled to remain at home, safely in the pur suit of their business. It would be do ing violence to equity to ask the sol diers who received these rewards, to pay any portion of the taxes to meet the debts incurred by the payment of these bounties. The taxation can only justly be paid by those for whose ben efit bounties were offered to volun teers. In the Senate, on the 18th, the con tested election case of McConaughy vs. Duncan was called up, and decided in favor of the former j he then took his seat. The bill making Washington and Beaver counties a separate judi cial district was passed. In the House a bill was presented allowing banks to charge seven per cent interest. A special session was ordered to be held Tuesday next, to consider resolutions in reference to the death of President Lincoln. A reso lution to close the hall of the House on Sunday was laid on the table. Res olutions were passed returning thanks to General Grant. Senator Householder, of Bedford, on A\ ednesday last, offered a resolution which was subsequently adopted by the Senate, authorizing the appoint ment of a committee from each branch of the State Legislature, whose duty it shall be to report by bill or other wise, a more uniform system of reve nue for common school purposes and such other improvements as they may deem advisable. In the Senate, on the 19th, the chief object of interest was the two Indian chiefs, grandsons of lied Jacket and Cornplanter, of the Seneca Indians, who came to make a statement in ref erence to land they claim had been given by the State to their ancestor Cornplanter. Six hundred acres of the land are on Alleghany river, and three hundred acres on Oil Creek, a short distance above its mouth and including Oil City. A bill has been reported to construct a railroad from any point in Northum berland county to connect with any rod in Mifflin county. Governor Curtin has returned to Harrisburg. It will be remembered that some weeks ago Major Dixon, paymaster, was shot and killed near Ale.van dria, Va.. by Dr. Maddox. of Fauquier county. After the death of Major Dixon, who was one of the staunchest Union men in the county, the ex-rebels determined to drive his unprotected "widow from the county of Fauquier, and they proceeded in guerrilla style to burn her house over her head, at the dead hour of night. A kind Providence, however, Averted the doom intended, and the fire kindled against her door fatlea to ignite the house. This attempt was sufficient, however, to drive Mrs. Dixon from her home, and she is again an exile in Washington from her home and from her native state, as she has been during the past five years.

Suspicion had been resting on him for the past week, and his conduct was eagerly watched, as lie had been i selling various articles from his farm. On Monday evening he came to Mid dleburg for the purpose of having the necessary papers made out for the sale * arra - This at once aroused suspicion more fully, and a warrant was issued for his arrest. He was im mediately chained upon his arrival at the jail. Eby is about 40 years of age, of medium size, and his countenance generally wears an "expression of good nature.

Mr. Samuel Parker, a citizen well known in this vicinity, while return ing from Milesburg on Saturday even ing week, was met on the towpath a short distance above the toll gate by two men who grappled and threw him into the canal.

VP*,. \ correspondent suggests that the people of this county get up peti tions making it a penal offence for managers of bridge or other compa nies to discriminate between pai ties in charging tolls. There is certainly no reason why one man should be charged live or ten cents and another twenty, thirty or forty for similar ve hicles and same number of horses over any bridge or road. It is neither democratic nor right. Communicated. Oil Company Meeting. DECATUR TOWNSHIP, Mifflin co., Pa. The citizens of Decatur and neighboring townships met. Jan. 12th, 1866 at Stroup's j.school house, tor the purpose of raising a company to bore for oil in said towns' ip.— The house was called to order by John Tnv lor. Esq Col. Reed was elected president, and J. M. Mohler Secretary. After some preliminary remarks by different individuals, Mr. Kepler, of Centre county, addressed the meeting, showing the importance of every j citizen being interested and aiding in the enterprise. On motion, the shares were jfut at S2O, and the old subscriptions which had been taken were set aside, and a new subscription commenced. Mr. Kepler, who has leased the territory, offered to give three acres sur rounding the well to the company as an in ducement to take stock. After which, on motion, the following committee was appoint ed to take subscriptions:—Joseph Sigler, Augustus M. Ingram, Joseph Kearns, Abrani | Mutthersbough, John Taylor, and Thomas Reed—the committee to report to Mr. Sigler, i chairman. On motion, adjourned to meet at j the call of the chairman of committer A : Capital of $6,000 is wanted. Mr. Kepler. I an experienced operator in oil, gives it as his decided opinion that there is oil in Decatur township—has taken twenty shares himself, and in case the company is raised, will send ; an experienced driller from Venango to oper- ! | ate. ibis enterprise is one certainly not of ! local interest, but the entire county and ad jacent counties should be interested in it, I . take stock and settle the problem at once and i | forever whether there is or is not oil beneath tho barren surfaces of Mifflin county.
