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.

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.

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

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.

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. Even
| should it prove a failure the satisfaction of •
having the question settled, would be worth
more than the cost to the several stockholders.

HAIR RESTORER
The Best Preparation /or the Hair Ever
Introduced to the Public.
IT IS warranted to restore Gray Ilair to it,
natural color. Make Hair grow on bald
beads, where the disease is not hereditary;
stop Hair from falling off or turning gray;
cure all eruptions of the scalp; remove scurf,
daudruff, &e., and allay all itching. It will
cause harsh, wiry hair to become soft, pliable
and luxuriantly glossy. It is
Elegantly Perfumed,
and is all that can be desired for a dressing.
It does not soil the finest linen n r stain the
nicest bonnet It is not a dve, but bv sup
plying the Capillary glands, acts as a restorer
4 his preparation cuntains no Sugar of Lead
or other minerals so deleterious to the head
and hair, and of which most of the com
pounds in the market are made but is a
Purely Vegetable Production.
We challenge the world to produce an in
stance where the Restorer has failed when
used according to directions. It is used and
recommended by the Clergy and the Faculty,
ihe proprietor is aware of the many who
have been disappointed by ibe high sounding
pretense of the numerous hair preparation-,
with which the market has been filled for a
few years past, but such
Entire Confidence
does he place in the merits of his Restorer
tbi t he offers in cases to refund the nionev
after a thorough trial of two bottles, if it
la;Is to give perfect satisfaction. Mother,
whose children's hair is harsh and "-irv, or
thin and scant, will find by using the Re
storer it will immediately improve, thereby
laying the foundation for a good head of hair,
so desirable in after life.
A Single Trial
will convince the most sceptical of its turrit,
Once us>e it aod vuu will always use use it.
