Johnson and his men can make their
own comments on such language, and
may perhaps di-euver when it is too hue
that it would have been far better to rea
son in the hou-e of their friends, yielding
where they were clearly in the wrong,
and compromising where neither felt dis

l'he Demoerat continues to crow over'
at election in this county. Tiie fact is
the patent democracy is the worst beat
party since elections have been contested, i
for they now know that if they could not

there is no doubt that the Republicans
have generally triumphed.

CHEAP ANTHRACITE ANT) BITUMINOUS
COAL, FOR THE JUNIATA VAL.L.KY .*
The rno:-t obvious and immediate ■ u
--nections of tiie M. L'. li. K. are at its west
ern terminus near Lewfstown, with tfTc
Pennsylvania Central Itailroad, and at its
eastern terminus in Xorthumberhind,
orSunbury, with the Philadelphia<fc Erie,
an<i Lackawanna <k
the Northern Centra! Railroads, tnu
rnaking a short and easy route between
the two great railroad lines in thi- htate.
It would Ik- but a waste of time to cm
ment at lar.o- on the very great impor
taii-eof this link in the vast railroatl chain
of Peiiusyivauia. The great trunk roads
ar- earrving east aini west, north ami
south, afl the varied productions and im
poi'tatiouH of our county. Nearly midway
between the sea and the lakes they are
tapped by our cross line, and we receive
froiii tbetn every commodity that we de
-ire. and give to them in return every in
terior production from our region that is
- ••king a distant market Our inten-its
are common : every additional facility of
transportation over the main lines stimu
late-. our production ami increases their
local trade. They will never injure us be
cause they would be injuring themselves.
Tt i their interest to encourage and
protect our line. We must not fall into
the absurd error of supposing that we art'
establishing a rival line. We arc but a
part of a grand railroad system which will ,
finally penetrate into "every section of
Pennsylvania. Our business is to adopt
the very best line between the Susouo- j
hannu ami Juniata, to build a strong, safe
road, and to manny it iceU. This done '
the stock of tiiis road will he a sure and ,
paying investment.
Let us now consider some more remote
but highly important connections of the
M. C U.K. Is it not certain that the ad
mirable bituminous eoai of the >Suow Shot*
field and the great dcnnmd for iron ore in
( entre county will com fx-1 the building of
the Mifflin A Centre Railroad to Beile
foute? A few well known facts will ena
ble us to answer this inquiry. The Snow
Shoe coal reaches Tyrone over the Snow
Shoe A Bald Eagle Railroad, and it is
then 22*J mile- from Philadelphia, lb-5
miles from Baltimore, and .'''Jo miles from
New Vork. ft reaches Lock Haven by
Bald Eagle Railroad and is then 226 miles
from Philudeldhia, 2tn; miles from Bald
more, and 326 miles from New York. But
if the M. AC Railroad is extended to Lew
istown. the coal at this point is 166 miles
from Phila., 14 ) miles from Baltiinoreand
266 miles from New York, an average
difference in favor of the direct route fmm
the Snow Shoe coal mines equal to >0 miles
at least in favor of Lcwistown. But fur
ther. the coke, or mineral charcoal of this
coal is remarkably purr find, xtrortfj ; it is
a capital smith and furnace coal and yields
an ex-client gas. Here then is another
point from which the Juniata valley may
receive that indispensable commodity,
cheap f-ofd, without which our manufac
tures must languish and our enormous
iron ore beds le completely unavailable.
On tne other hand, the numerous and ex
tensive iron works of Centre county de
mand cheap iron ore, and Mifflin county i
it is now demonstrated, contains incx- i
liaustible quantities of three varieties of
iron ore—the fossiliferous, the hematite
and the carbonate of iron. The crude ore :
will not bear the circuitous route from j
Lcwistown by Tyrone to Bellefonte; the j
absence of cheap and, direct trans porta- i
tion to the point of demand locks up our !
ores; such transportation w a must have — I
coal and iron—these imperial. minerals j
demand it. We cannot go around the
mountains, we innat cross them, and we
f<in do it. The grade in the Seven Moun
tains is not formidable to modern loenmo- j
t ves. If a heavy bar, say 64 lbs. to the
linear yard, i- laid down on the mountain I
Division, if the curvature is easy and the !
nature of the ground permits this, most i
certainly, then, by using powerful engines {
we can command the mountain grade and i
pass either way with full trains. This
connection of the M. C. Railroad will lie :
but 35 miles in length. What a stimulus
to the iron manufacture of Centre and!
Mifflin counties will its construction give!
Chrafj f;oal and cheap arc combined I
And what a heavy trade will it throw on ;
the Middle Creek Railroad, and on the '
Pennsylvania Railroad at this point!
Not only in iron oreand coal, hut in lum
ber, and in all agricultural productions. '
We must not forget that by reaching
Belletonte we tap the vast lumber region
of the West Branch of the Susquehanna 1
through the Bald Eagle Railroad. It is
now !i miles by r;ril from Lewistown to
Bell-font,., and yet they are but 35 miles 1
distant from each other! and each is' the
centre ot an iuijHjrtant mineral and agri
cultural region. The great laws of mod-i
ern trade require direct transportation j
from point to point, thus securing econo- j
my of time and labor. Minutes are gold '
dust and hours are diamonds in this bold
and rapid age. The M. AC. Railroad is a
commercial necessity to a rich, jM.pulou
and intelligent region; it must be built for :
this reason, and that at an early day. But i
there is anotlier more remote but not less '
certain connection; a railroad through
West Kishaeoquillas will bring into mar
ket at a much cheaper rate than at pres
ent, not only all the farm produce of this
very fertile district, but also the highly
valuable stalactitic iron ore no abundant I
there, and will enhance the value of land !
by greatly cheapening lime, the most im- I
portant fertilizer known to our farmers, i
Let a lateral railroad be built from Reeds- !
vale to Belleville, and it will stop there !
111 , !l Jfar °r two. The cheapening of
<oa and the practical, evcry-hour advan- !
•gtso railway transportation will con
vince the people of Allenville of the ne- !
cesHtv of completing it to that point, and
once there, the Broad Top coal field is al-

bituminous and semi-anthracite by con
nection of M. A C. with Pa. C. Railroad.
It has become apparent that another di- !
rect railroad route eastward or southward !
must be sought for the Broad Top coal |
The enormous and increasing business of '
the 1 enn a Railroad, makes it imtxixsihlc
tor it to stimulate the production of B. T

near hT' 1 u' A Ohio Railroad
in, ii .t °V , ' ual (-om s ir,to hu

at the point of intersection the tran?i>or

c'Raib mi a rail v roiul is built from Pa.
wn. t L u' thr V Upb Lishacoqnillas east
ward'the V 7 - ,Ki earri, ' d direct to
ward the sealioard. Some of the most sa
a,Vl-im" U>res 1(1 ln this coalfield
are looking to this route, and if the M C
Railroad is built, we can depend on a I
connection direct with Broad lop. Rut
we must not forget that the M. (_. Rail
road will tap, at Northumberland'the
North & West Branch Canals, and at
Lewistown. the Juniata Division of Pa.
Canal which Is being enlarged. These
canals penetrate a vast, populous and
wealthy region and interchange until mod
ules by the circuitous route to the mouth
of the Juniata, thence north and west. —
They must throw much of their traffic on
the M. C. Railroad in order to secure di
rect and rapid transportation. There is a
lateral railroad from tile Mifflin y Centre-
Railroad which will be on indirect and
important connection of Middle Creek
Railroad, and which cannot bo long de
layed—the railroad from Freedom Iron
Works southward up Ferguson's valley.
Tiiis valley is very narrow, and has on
its south east side the ioug and deep Mc-
Girk basin of hematite and carbonate of
iron, ani on its north west side, the ridge
ot fossil i f erous ore described in mv second
paper. The line of railroad will be verv
straight, tlie grade in favor of the trade,
and the amout of local traffic tlirown on
jße M. &(' &M. c. Railroads very heavy.
The same ore which now costs 81.5u per
ton for hauling to Lewistown. can lie de
livered bv rail for 60 cts. per ton. probably
for •>> ets. per ton. The bodv of ore in
Ferguson's valley is inexhaustible. With
till- hasty glance at the connections of M.
C. Railroad are we not justified in urging
our citizens to subscribe lil>erally to its
stock,? When we.consider it-, direct line,
the cheapness with which it can be built
and workc-d, the extent of country which
it will bring near to market, and above
all, when we consider that it will solve :
the hitherto fat al question of fuel, and give I
us thai necessity and luxury of life, CHEAI
AND GOOD i OAL is it not the duty and I
interest of all good citizens to aid tins ad
mirable enterprise? To the citizens of
Lewistown ir is a question of life and j
death so far as our prosperity is concern- ,
ed. VV e are falling behind every town in
this region; there is more building in
Beavertown and Mt. Union than in this
place! More building in Bellefonte in
one year than in Lewistown in seven
years' The ground on which AI toon a
stand- was being farmed when we had
inhabitants! There was excellent
pasture in the streets of Sun bury when
our streets were thronged with a busy
crowd! But a few years since, Harri--
burg, Reading and Lancaster were inert,
destitute of energy, and provincial and
insignificant towns. They are now cities, i
full of capital, life and energy! What
has revived and electrified these places?
RAILROADS AND CHEAP COAX.! Capital
follows and clings to these with tirtn
grasp because it knows them to be the
great developing agencies of the age. But
the prosperity of our town is nothing
when compared with the benefits to b.
derived by a wide !>elt of agricultural
country from the introduction of cheap
fuel. Everything, at last, depends on
agriculture; if we can enrich our land- bv
the introduction of a valuable fertilizer,
we accomplish a great work. Look, then,
at the limestone hills along the line of M.
U.. Railroad: they fir* worth more tlmn
our.fjt cln of coo's and iron ores. Reduce
the price of coal, stimulate the production
of lime, and you add thirty ja-r cent, to
the productive capacity of a va-t region.
Nature lias given us every element of
wealth and independence if we are but
true to the path which she indicates.

Lewistown, Nov. 5, 1866.
TROUBEE WITH TURKEY. —A serious
embroglio in our relations with the Divan
has arisen, as follows; Sarkis Miuasian,
who has for many years acted as the res.-
dent agent in Turkey for the sale of Dr. J.
G. Ayer A Co.'s medieines, driven by the
increase of his business to a necessity for
more room, built his warehouse in Con
stantinople several stories higher, after
having obtained tiie necessary permit
from the authorities. The Infan- of a
neighboring mosque, which overlooked
the premise s demanded a large present in
money, which was refused. They then
applied to the Grand Vizier, for the en
forcement of an obsolete law, which hat!
been disregarded two hundred years, re
quiring him to take down the building to
eighteen feet, which was granted, and
they commenced the work of demolition.
Minasian then applied to the American
Minister, who notified the .Sublime Porte
that American property could not be {ho
rrified with, and that the demolition must
cease. Then commenced the usual eouree
of Mussulman prevarication and promi
ses, hut no real redress. Finally, Minis
ter Morris informed them that if their
depredations continued, he should order
the U. S. ships of war to enter the Bos
phorus and Messrs. Avers' medical ware
house would not alone be rooflt-sa. A
stroke of his pen could have laid the whole
city under the sweep of American cannon,
backed by men who are not schooled in
the lessons of fear. This brought them
to their senses and speedy redress. Mi
nasian has now arrived in this country,
to present the ease to our State Depart
ment for indemnity. At length it is some
thing to say atnong the jieoples of the
earth —"I am an American citizen!"—
