    [From the Philadelphia National Argus, July 4.]
Opening of the North Pennsylvania Rail
Road to Gwynned.
Yesterday was celebrated by an important
and auspicious event, which may be termed the
harbinger of an increased traffic for Philadel
phia. through a new and highly interesting re
gion of Pennsylvania. We refer to the open
i„,r of the First Division of the Northern Penn
sylvania Railroad to Gwynned, a distance of
about nineteen miles. A Committee of the
pitv Councils, representatives of the press, and
maiiv prominent citizens were invited on the
occasion, and the party assembled must have
been nearly one hundred in number. Judge
KEU.EY and several distinguished members of
the Bar were also present. The cars left the
new and very commodious station of the Com
pauv, shortly after eleven o'clock, and were
draw n by mules to Master street, where a lo
comotive was attached to the train and we
were whirled along with great speed over an
exceedingly beautiful country, in which highly
cultivated farms and fields were agreeably al
ternated with majestic and park-like groves,
hill and dale, and watered with sparkling brooks
and streams.
After leaving Master street, the cars stojv
pod at the following stations : —Tioga street, i
Fisher's Lane, Green Lane, Oak Lane, City
bine. Old \ ork Road, Chelten Hills, Taconev, '
Edge Hill, Camp Hill, Fort Washington, the
Pennlyd, Gwynned.
The rails on the road are 70 pounds to the
yard, and the rail-layers were Messrs. Wher&
*3l vers. Their work is substantially executed.
Tlie Company have three engines of great pow
er, the Aramingo, the Cohocksink, and the
Shackatnaxon, built by Baldwin k Co., while
the passenger-cars are numerous, large, hand
some, and well furnished. The train was de
corated with flags along the entire line of the
excursion, and at every village and station, the
arrival was greeted by crowds of people. Mr.
John Miller WAS the engineer, Thomas M'Cann,
fireman. We were informed by Mr. Du Barry,
Principal Assistant Engineer, that the first
three or four miles of the road were slightly
undulating, with ascending anil descending
grades, but betweeen sections six and eight,
the ascent for a mile was 60 feet, passing over j
n -mnmit and descending to the waters of Ta
conev Creek. To Edge Hill Summit, the grade
is 40 feet to the mile, and there is a deep cut
through hard rock, 47 feet in the deepest part,
and more than 1400 feet in length. Then the !
road descends to Sandy Creek, thence rises !
again to Fort Washington Station, and pass- !
ing over the waters and valley of the Wissa
liirkon by means of lofty and substantial tres- :
>, ! work bridges, it arrives at Gwynned,where I
a handsome hotel is iu progress of erection.—
About a mile beyond Gwynned, the road passes i
through a cut 60 feet deep, and then u tunnel !
">OO foot iii length, which is now nearly finish
el, -.'til) men being there at work, the incessant
Masting of rocks sounding like the explosions
of heart artillery.
We fearii that the road will then go over
Hatfield Plains, and that there will he another !
cut 35 iV'K deep, ami another tunnel 2170 feet j
long—soon after which it will reach the Le
high valley and river, and thus open an exten
sive agricultural and mineral traffic to Phila
delphia enterprise. The regular business of
the road will commence to-day. a. F. Jlop
k'n>. K>!J., member of Councils, Mr. Peck, Mr.
M'Call, and other gentlemen acted as conduc
tors. and to these gentlemen, as well as to Mr.
John W. (lillinghajn. the regular conductor,
nil who participated in the celebration are in
debted for much politeness and atteution. Af
t r examining the Gwvmted terminus and its
vicinity, the party returned to a new hotel re
cently built by Mr. Ilirscli, whose public spirit
i* kiddy spoken of. Here a substantial and
elegant collation was spread by that excellent
caterer, Dorsay, of Philadelphia, and l>otli the
viands and wines were all that could be desir
ed. After the more substantial jwrtionof the
repast, bad beeu discussed, the Chairman, Thos.
S. Fernon, Esq., President of the Company,
rose and briefly addressed his guests to the fol
lowing effect:—
(I K.\"TI>:MKX : —A\ e are assembled to inaugu
rate into public use the North Pennsylvania
Railroad. Although, hut a short, space is com
pleted, yet that jsirtion is of the most substan
tial character. Mr. F. described the prospects
of the country between Philadelphia and Gwyn
ncd. and expressed his belief that ere long, the
road would be entirely open to the Lehigh ri
ver. The wealth of the Lehigh Valley, in
coal, rim- and other minerals, was dwelt upon,
and the interests of Philadelphia with the new
ly opened conu try, were warmly urged. The
advantages of the road over a canal were en
larged upon, and owing thus far to the want
of such a communication with Philadelphia,
much of the trade and wealth of the Northern
portion of Pennsylvania had gone to New
V>rk. This should not be. The station of Fort
ba-hington was named in connexion with one
of the events of the revolution. The speech
°f Mr, T. was able, practical and to the pur
pose, and that gentleman was loudly cheered,
f < Philadelphia Press was then given, and
duly re>|toridod to.
Ihe following resolutions were offered by
j Milton Cooper, Esq. and unanimously adop
ted :
Resolved. That in that portion of the North
• ennsylvania Railroad passed over this day,
!' avo Sf ' en a work comprising a part of
ioladolpliiii's great north route, constructed
13 a maimer promising permanent durability,
ami traversing a country abounding in land
varies of unsurpassed natural beauty and fer-
Rf-o'ved, That to win back and retain the
..ad" iif the Northern Counties of Pennsylva-
Philndelphia must have a railroad running
''C' t into those counties ; and the North
"nnsylvania Railroad occupying such location
' crcliv rendered a work of permanent neces
. to the commercial interests and prosperity
f 'or whole city.
The (hairman proposed the health of John
James. Esq., with thanks for his financial
. r '> and influence in promoting the North
1 " r.risylvania Railroad.
' ra "k with enthusiasm.
•e party then adjourned, and visited the
" "lis of Port Washington, on the summit
'■ d :i, 'ghboring hill, after which the entire
5 '," J' aD . v returned in the train to the city,
'''"lighted with their excursion. We

HELMBOLD'S GENUINE PREPARA
TIONS.
HelmboUVs Highly Concentrated Fluid Detract Rurhu,
for Diseases of the Bladder and Kidneys, Secret Disenses,
Strictures, Weaknesses, and all Diseases of the Sexual
Organs, whether in Male or Female, from whatever cause
they may have originated, and HO matter of how long
standing.
If you have contracted the terrible disease, which when
once seated in the system, will surely go down from one
generation to another, undermining the constitution, and
sapping the very vital fluids of life, do not trust yourself
in the hands of Quacks, who start up every day in a city
like this, and fill the papers with glaring falsehoods too
well calculated to deceive the young and those not ac
quainted with their tricks. You cannot be too careful in
the selection of a remedy in these eases.
The fluid extract Buciiti has been pronounced by emi
nent Phvsicians
THI-1 GREATEST REMEDY EVER KNOWN.
It is a medicine perfectly pleasant in its taste, and very
innocent in its action, and yet so thorough that it annihi
lates every particle of the rank and poisonous virus of this
disease ; and, unlike other remedies, it does not dry up
the disease iu tlie ldood.
Constitutional Debility, brought on by self-abuse, a most
terrible disease, which has brought thousands of tlie hu
man race to untimely graves, thus blasting the brilliant
hopes of parents, and blighting in the bud the glorious
ambition of inunv a noble youth, can be cured by this
INFALLIBLE REMEDY.
And as a medicine which must benefit everybody from tlie
simply delicate to tlie confined and despairing invalid, no
equal is to lie found, acting both as a cure and preventive.
lIEMHOLD'S HIGHLY CONCENTRATED
Compound Fluid Fstraci SarsaparU/a.
For purifying the Blood, removing all diseases arising
from excess of Mercury, exposure and imprudence in
life, chronic constitutional disease, arising from an im
pure state of the blood, and the only reliable and effect
ual remedy known for the cure of Scrofula, Salt Rheum,
Scald Head, Ulcerations of tlie Throat and Legs, Pains
and Swellings of the Bones, Tetter, Pimples on tlie face
and all Scaly Eruptions of the Skin.
This article is now pre-cribed by some of the most dis
tinguished Physicians in the Country, and has proved
more efficient in practice than any preparation of Sarsa
purilla yet offered to the public. Several cases of secon
dary Svphtlic, Mercurial and Scrofulous diseases have en
tirely recovered in the incurable wards of our public insti
tutions, which had for nianv years resisted every mode of
treatment that could be devised. These cases furnish
striking examples of the salutary effects of this medicine
in arresting some of the most inveterate diseases, after the
glands were destroyed and the bones already affected.
