L, I Near Brooklyn, ;an, 80. j REAR Sint I suppose you will not reool-` loot me; therefore to aid your memory I will state •Rome circumstances that occurred between Us about a third of a century age. At that time you will remember a town called the Two Taverns, (which contained also a blaokemith'shOp) . about five miles from Gettysburg, on , the Baltimore turn pike; and of your owning one of the tav erns, and exchanging it with Robert Cris= well, my father, of Franklin county, for a farm in Path Valley, and of my coming (then a mere boy) to your office in Gettya burg, to effect an exahtuige of title deeds of the properties. Some years afterwards I called on you In Lancaster; now you will recollect me. You are accused of acknowl edging that you are legislating " outside of the Constitution," and of saying that the rule of the ilonstitution had gone by, and that the will of the party in power is the supreme law of the land. Is this true T I hope not, for your sake. I have heretofore always endeavored to up hold you, when you and your measures were spoken against, Some have said the reason you were so hard on the rebels was because yon were vindictive and revengeful, on aooount of their burning your Caledonia Iron Works during Lee's invasion of Penn sylvania, thereby causing you to lose $5O,- 000 I told them no ; that you did not care for the loss of your works, that your only ' I regret was that about two hundred laborers were thrown out of employment on account of it, untilyou could get them rebuilt again; that you have always been an abolitionist; but it seems that this fondness for the col ored race has so grown on you of late, that you may said to be aildloted with that new disease called "Nigger on the brain," as you wish to give them rights and favors denied to white men. White emigrants are required to live a certain length of time in the country before voting; but you want to give ignorant blacks the right of suffrage imme diately ; and you want to make the South such a Paradise for them (in disregard of the interests of the whites) that it will attract some of their race to emigrate from Africa and the Southern Islands. In that event, I sun pose you would want to have an agent of the Freedmen's Bureau at the pier to hand each of these Hottentots a ballot as they landed from the vessel. Why don't you allow them to vote, and sit on juries and bold office in your own State? my native State? Echo answers, why the Pennsylvanians would not allow it, and well you know it. But if you should succeed in securing the negro vote you cannot elect a Radical President: for you will lose five white votes for every negro one you gain. Even Gen. Grant, your most popular man, cannot be elected as a Radical. • • • • • • - The General should remember that the great hero of not one war only, but of two, General Scott, could not be elected Presi dent. I am only one of thousands that will Join Johnson or the • constitutional party. I never voted a Democratic teket in my life; wawa Whig the same as you, Mr. Stevens, until the Republican party was organized in 1850; then I Joined it, it was as natural for us Whigs to slide into it as it is for ducks to swim. So good-bye, Mr. Stevens. • I always have admired your great talents, but I think they are misdirected of late; besides you have got too many black sheep in your flock, and are too anxious to increase their number, to suit mo any longer. I Join the other flock. Adieu, Adieu. ROBERT CRIBAV ELL. The Bentihighoff Robbery The latest chapter In reference to the Ben ninghoff robbery is furnished by the Titus villa Herald, as follows : "Mr. Allan Pinkerton, the celebrated .Chicago detective, has tendered the services of his police bureau' for the investigation of the Benninghoff robbery, upon the con dition that Benninghoff shall defray the traveling expenses of the detective whom he will send for that purpose, and his expenses While here. Wo do not learn that the offer has been accepted. The story pub lished a week ago, concerning the -ar rest of two men at Memphis, on sus picion, appears to have been entirely correct, notwithstanding its contradiction. The detective in tins Instance was Ezra Van Nyce, an omnibus driver at Westfield, and we are reliably inlbrmed that a niece of Mr. John Benninghoff has returned with Van Nyce to Memphis, for the purpose of identifying the parties under arrest. On Thursday three men were arrested at Townville by the offieers from Meadville, and taken to that city for examination, upon a charge of being concerned in the robbery, but on arriving there were dis charged without examination. One of this party, Mr. M. L. Corry, proposes to bring a suit for damages, as we are informed. It is a singular tact, and ono that has excited considerable comment, that while the rob bers were engaged in plundering Mr. Ben ninghoff, one of them addressed various members of the family in German. He called the hostler by name, and directed him to go to the stable and 'harness up Pete,' designating the animal which he pre ferred, Mr. Benninghoff's niece is said to have recognized this men's voice, and it would seem eminently proper that before any more innocent parties are arrested, an opportunity should be offered for verifying the suspicions of Mr. Benninghoff's niece. Who is the man with the German-silver voice ?" (Sc ENGLISH, FRENCH AND GERMAN DRY AND FANCY GOODS, PLATED WARE, CUTLERY, ALBUMS, LEATHER Goons, &C., AC.

CENTRAL PACIFIC RAILROAD THE BEST AND PRINCIPAL PORTION OS THE NATIONAL TRUNK LINE ACROSS TILE CONTINENT, Is being rapidly carried forward by an unpre cedented working force; and It is reasonably certain that the CONTINUOUS OVERLAND RAIL ROAD CONNECTION FROM NEW YORE TO SAN FRANCISCO WILL BE MADE IN 1870, The United States Government furnishes, upon a subordinate and contingent lien, half the means for constructing the Main Stem, Line; and besides an absolute grant bf 12,800 acres of valuable public lands per mile, the Central Pada° Railroad Company have re ceived Califoaila sources, donations and con cessions worth more than 1100,000,000. The available resources of this Company are there fore abundant for the purpose, amounting to 877,000,000 on the first 728 miles of the Line, In cluding Loans secured by a First Mortgage upon the whole property, to the same amount only as the U. B. Subsidy Bonds. The results aireadyattalned, although under comparatively unfavorable circumstances, af ford substantial ground for believing the CEN TRAL PACIFIC to be the Most Favored, Productive, and Valuable Railroad Enterprise In the Country. In consequence of the large and rapidly In reasing demand, the price of these Bonds has een advanced, and the Company are now offering for sale, a limited amount of their First Mortgage Six Per Cent. Bonds, Principal and Interest Payable in Gold Coin, In sums of $l,OOO each, at PAR and accrued In terest from January Ist, In currency. These Bonds, it is believed, possess the ele manta of agfety,reliabiltly and profit, In a greater degree than any other class of Corporate Securi ties now offered, and are therefore very desira ble for steady investments of surplus capital, Investors will bear in mind the following advantages: I. They are the first mortgage on one of the most valuable and productive lines of railroad In the world. 11. The actual earnings from local business In 1867 were more than four times the annual Interest engagements. 111. The hard part of the work is now done, and the prospects of rapid completion are favorable. IV. The Company have liberal susidles,which enable them to prosecute the work with great vigor. V. The management has been exceedingly prudent and frugal. VI. There is already a large and growing set tlement on the completed and graded line. VII. The lands promise to be of immense vale, 37,038 acres having been already sold. VIII. Both principal and interest are ex plicitly madupayable in gold coin. IX. Both the aggregate amount of Issue and their standing in Europe will insure for them continued activity and high rank among stand ard securities. At this time they yield nearly NINE PER CENT. UPON THE INVESTMENT Holders of Government Securities have an opportunity of exchanging them for Central Pacific Bonds, bearing an equal rate of interest, with the principal abundantly secured, and of realizing a prod of ten to fifteen per cent. in addition.

'The study which enables the author to &- Magda so accurately the emotions and incen• tives to action whicn moved mon and women of apast age moat be close and untiring, and Louisa lifibach shows in all of her works a perfection which carries the reader into Lin, very presence of the characters represented." —Syracuse Tannin/. IV.—Thev arc Higarieally arrert. "Historically correct, and us coterie] many of the volumes of bir Walter heoll. '— Providence Herald.
