Taldna a train at 12.05, noon, we run down the valley of the'Schuylkill . ~„. to .Auburn, ten ,miles on the way to Philadelphia. Here the cars run on a tralichlraCk coming in'at an angle too sharp turned in the usual way. The engine runs on a turn-table and whirls round end for, end, while the., passengers turn' the backs of their seats and faCe the other way. The en gine attaches itself to what has heretofore been through a farming country, of which the low level of the railroad gives tis Amt few fine views; until we pass ' Pine Grove. From here, seven miles tlibilgb a narrow mountain gorge brings us to Tremont; immediately after passing which the, panting of the engine and the reduced 'speed of the train tell.usthat we have begun to ascend the Broad Mountain. A mile further we pass Donaldson and 'then we gO up, up through dense wodds, and on a grade so heavy that the engine, after stopping to take in water (the engineer seizing the opportunity to help hiMself from a convententleak tin the canvas spoilt which supplies his tank),*is - scarcely able to start again With the 'two' cars which compose: the train. Presently the' grade grows lighter, the :ground becomes level, and here, on the summit of the mountain, rises a coal-breaker, towering, huge and ungainly, far above us. Its ponderous machinery, is still, its grimy walls are silent as,the grave, and the men who ought to be pouring, rattling carloads of black dia monds into its gaping jaws are lying idly in the shade, discussing the situation. ,I , 4o'w!comes the most beautiful part of the, road. We are on the Good Spring Creek ex .,...tension.'of the Beadingßailroad..„. On the left yaWnS a deep, wooded abyss, which, at first, seems almcist bottomless, but soon grows wider and expands into a charming valley, which, frOM our lofty elevation,looks level as a prairie, bounded by high mountaius and checkered With field and wood and meandering streams, and stretching away on either side of a motto tain that rises abruptly from its bosom until its'divided branches are lost in the distance. At last the conductor announces "Tower City," and you look. around for the " City," but all you seels ar7 by 9 fraine shanty, called by'ConitesYa depot; a coal-breaker, very big and very black., and a dubious back, whose driver invites the patronage of passengers for Williamstown, Lykens and Wiconisco. Some passengers leave the - ears and take' the stage; ignorant or unmindful of the discomforts at - tendant -upon slippery cushions on a slippery seat, at an angle of twenty-five or thirty de grees fiord the horizontal 'position affected` by all right-minded vehicles on level roads. On reaching the foot of the mountain they .ride - for two- miles- throngh a conglomeration of about fifty houses, a school-house, a saw-mill, half a dozen whisky-mills and several million trees. And this is Tower City. It is new, and "not all built-up yet." We being otherwise minded, keep our seats and ride two miles farther to Brookside, the terminus of the road. Here is a breaker, similar to the last, and a depot, whose con structtion Must have cost at least twenty-five cents. It has three sides and a roof, and is -furnished with-a wooden bench. • - If you wish to return to Pottsville the same day, you can sit here and feast your eyes on tbetrorgnificent - lanciscape - at your-feet - for an honrovlien-the=-mnie—train-vvill-take-you-back and land you in Pottsville at 7 P. M. ; but if you w ill go further, take the road which winds down the mountain, and which, unless you are accustomed to mountain travel, you will con sider a little the worst road you ever saw. and walk down to the valley below. You will be •, in plenty of time to intercept the aforesaid stage. It is by no means the easiest convey ance you ever rode in, but it is six miles to the end of its route. Two miles down the valley is Williamstowii, famous as the site of the Summit Branch Col liery. This operation ships an average of six thousand five hundred Urns pl' coal per week from a single breaker; a shipment envied by the entire Southern coalfield. but nowhere equalled or even approximated. Happy Summit Branch Company With • a coal—the celebrated " Franklin " or" Ly kens Valley "—which costs comparati‘cly but a trifle to mine, and still less to prepare, but which always commands a dollar more than other anthracites in Eastern markets ; hi a region where strikes are unknown, and where the W. B. A. cometh not; shipping its coal to canal in its own cars, over its own road ; work ing all the year round, and sure of a profitable market, whatever happens to others, is it any wonder that last year's Mt profits were in the neighborhood ofhalf a million dollars? For that is the reported figure—and you may tell the W. B. A. if you want to; for I suppose by this time that estimable fraternity is about ready for its funeral. 1 have been away from home for two days, and, of course, do not pretend to speak by the hook ; but when I left, it was known that the Schuylkill District , had resolved to accept the operators' basis, unless the Luzerne men ioined in the eight-hour movement: It was pretty well understood, also, that the Lu zerue men would do nothing of the kind ; and I have little doubt that by the time this reaches the eyes of 1,114 i But.-LITI.S;:i readers there will be very few idle collieries in Schuylkill county. "The backbone of the rebellion is broken." And so is yours, pretty nearly, by the Lime you reach Wiconisco, four miles below Wil - liamstown. This is a quiet village of two or three thousand inhabitants, and with its sister vita e, Lykeus, derives its support principally from coal; being situated in Dauphin county, at the extreme western end of the southern anthracite coal-fields, where the hard white ash coal of Schuylkill and Carbon changes to a softer grhy ash, highly prized by housekeepers, and by all who desire a ready-kindling coal. The collieries here are old and below mater level, and the water which drains through their miles of gangways is scarcely held in check by pumps raising a thousand gallons in each and every minute of every hour in the twenty-four, and every day in the week. But the Short Mountain colliery is driving a tunnel to reach hitherto Undeveloped veins, and the Lykens Valley—lthe pioneer of the region—will sink a new " lift " (100 yards) in its old slope, as soon as the water is fairly subdued. This town is in one of the valleys debouch ing en'the Susquehanna, and its communica tion .witb Philadelphia is eta the Summit , • Branch,, .Northern Central, and Pennsylvania .

France and Prussia might be en gaged in actual hostilities for twenty-four hours before we could know anything about it; and the great ocean yacht race might he concluded for an equally long time before we knew, or cared, Who was victor.

That Indians who practice such barbarous rites should plead for schools and missionaries shows the effect on them of the Christianity and its.' civilization manifested by the Santee Sioux, some fifty miles lower down the Mis souri. General Sherman- telegraphed that some of these Yankton Sioux were on the war path. He now writes that, on investigation, he thinks the party is not composed of Yanktons, but of the Yauktonnais one of the wild bands of Sioux. It is, however, quite natural that the starvation of Indians; who are placed , on Reservations where there is not .any food, should incite the young men to join the hostile Indians, who are either well fed by the Government, or who roan in-search of food or plunder.

Dear „Mr. Welsh: Yours of , 23d ult.reached ine iu due course of mail, and was very wet coine indeed: I should have replied last week : but tha, Was . completely, worn-mit wwl hard - work, and it was impossible. 'N'sibuld have been the same this week but that Brother Hin man, to my great joy, is with me, and I have abated my label's to have the pleasure and ad vantage of his company. I have I been engaged in painting, whitewashing, and a little of everything, in order to hurry up the finishing of the house and chapel. We are nearly through all but the chancel ar rangements. The seats for chapel arrived on the -3d and are to be put-up to-morrow. The windows I have frosted to keep the Yanktons from peeping in. Miss Leigh came with Bro. H--n„ and, I hope, will play the. melodeon for our service; I am promising mySelf that we shall have a delightful day next Sunday. - Last Sunday we had a congregation of about 75 in the morning and 30 in the evening. The number is all. the while increasing, and now that the chapel will be nearly - pleasant and - comfor tables-Fam s ure we shall have a great many coming regu larly to the services. The place has been filled with boards and bail-kegs and tools, and -re-, onhed a good deal of work every week to get in it'a place for services. The. YanktOns keep Brother unman hold ing a continuous levee since he arrived. It is quite refreshing to see this evidence of interest on the part of heathen. I selected the site for the chapel and school at Choctaw Creek last Monday, and Brother Hinman and I go up to-morrow to Swan's Camp, opposite Fort Randall, to select the site there. These chiefs, -Mad- Bull and Swan, and their men,will take no refusal; they insist upon the erection of these buildings that they may participate in the benefits - of the mission.- - Nearly all -the -works that-theyskoowshowstosdos.theysares.doing themselves, and they deserve great commenda i don. Swan, you will recollect, is the man i whom the press all over the country repre sented as about to go on the war-path last spring. No one would think so to see him in citizen's dress, neat and clean, and looking as calm and dignified as any country gentle man, and always greeting one with a friendly smile and warm grip of the hand. I am glad to learn that prominent men in the East, bishops and others, are trying to create an interest in the Church to rebuild the Santee Mission. lam more and more amazed at the success of that mission, and I cannot think that God will allow so good a work to languish for want of the buildings to carry it on. A little circumstance occurred here which struck me very forcibly in that connection. Two bro thers of Paul's wife were staying here, in the absence of Paul and his family, for a few days. I told them to come and take meals at the mission. One morning breakfast was ready, and they were not here. On inquiring of my young man, who had just come over from Paul's house, he replied : ” They are having prayers, and they have not got through yet." 1 said to myself: What could more powerfully show the success of this work than this little incident? Here are two youths away from home, away from any sur veillance, alone in a house, and yet they faith fully at tend to their religious- duties. Religion is not merely on the surface - there. On another occasion, lately, Paul was away, and asked the younger - -lad to take charge of his singing-school. Before beginning he knelt down and repeated the Lord's Prayer, in Da kotab, and conducted the school with the greatest gravity. I am glad to learn that the Senate has ap propriated something additional for the Yank tons. Last night a boat arrived with provision§ for feeding the I anktous three months longer. But there is every appearance that they will have to be fed at least a whole year. We are suffering froth di ouch -ever since the Ist June. The wheat will hardly be worth the cutting; in fact, if the dronth continues, it will not at all, and the corn cannot stand it ninth longer. The prospect is very dreary indeed. We entirely agree with you, that the true policy is to treat the well-disposed and peace able Indians well, if we wish to influence the wild tribes beyond. The Santees and V uiktons are the key to the settlement of the 'whole question with the Sioux. Only the other clay 1 had a visit from Siha-Sapa, a chief of the Blackfeet, and a lead man of the Yellow ed band, from, Grand River, three hundred miles above here. They told me they came down expressly to see how things are going on here, and to shake hands with me as they had heard the auk- tons now had a missionary ; that they them selves were making sonic little eithrts to do something, being persuaded that the white man's way was better than the .Indian's, and they saw for themselves that their means of subsistence, the game, is rapidly going; They ere.working with their own. bands_ to sraise corn, and taie more they raised the more theY, wished to raise, but that they got tired. And in this latter statement it seemed to me is the whole of the secret. Men generally denounce the Indian as lazy and worthless, and that he dues not work faithfully even when he sets out to be like the whites. But men do not consider that these people have never been used to labor; that they have grown •to man's estate with undisciplined iniials and muscles, unused to tilling the ground,. and of course it is a hard experience for a long time to learn to labOr, or to -hind any pleasure in it. Parallel examples could easily be furnished flew civilized life. ' lIILADELPHIA EVENING ,BULLETIN, MONDAY, JULY 18, 1870.

[Correspondence of the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin.' MCALLISTEIWILLE, July 10, 1870.—One important feature of last night's entertainment in conclusion of the annual examination of the Soldiers' Orphans' School at this place was unavoidably omitted from my report of the occasion because of the lateness of the hour at which it occurred. The meeting, which was a very interesting and enthusiastic one, was kept up till about eleven o'clock, P. M.; all the children acquitting theixiselves Most Credit able manner in recitations, songs, speeches and other exercises, exhibiting general advance ment, force of character and the inherent material which, if cultivated and trained, makes men and women of intelligence and mark in Av the - orld's - strife. . - This being Colonel McFarland's old school, the first of thekind in the State, of course every little face in ,the throng of 217 was familiar to him,.and he can be pardoned for haVing taken a deep interest in their • welfare, while there was auit a pupil';•Wliti - did not eViiice,bY sonic token, his or her attachment for the kindly and genial old Prindipal: who bad first shouldered his crutch and showed how fields were won, winning,. at the same time their hearts in his noble endeavors to train their youthful feet in the path of virtue, intelligence and true inde pendence. During the eveninr , the ' Hon. Wilmer Worth ington, now General' Agent and Secretary of the Board of Public Charities, and the prime mover, iu tbe: Senate of 1804,. Of. the. bill cre ating the.. glorious system which now does honor to Pennsylvania, being introduced i made a sound, solid, sensible and• feeling speech to tbe audience, which was highly appreciated in this. locality, where Col. McFarland is so well and favorably known.. Be commenced by reciting the history of the Soldiers' Orphans' Schools in -Pennsylva nia,_and said that, while great ,redit- was due Governor Curtin for the suggestion, and he himself felt some pride in his own connection with the project, and although Governor Geary deserved the thanks of the. people.for his,noblti effort's at perfecting the system,the great bulk of the praise belonged to Col. fcFarland, who bad been the pioneer teacher and who had now brought the :schools to 'a high degree of im provement.. In fact the present splendid con ' dition of the schools was almost, if not entirely, attributable to the able head of the Soldiers' Orphans' Department. He felt convinced that this meed of praise was not ill bestowed. The State owed Colonel McFarland much for hisindefatigible industry and perseverance in so organizing and controlling the schools that they had come to be admired and commended by all visitors. He fully endorsed the plan on. Miich the institutions were - eotiducted, belieV ing that there were no better schools_ for youths in the country. He especially com mended the Superintendent to the children as one in whom they had a true friend, and to whom, in after life, they would feel they owed a debt of gratitude. He spoke feelingly of the Colonel as an intimate friend, who bad stood faithfully by the interests of the State, and of the many little ones under his charge. Hugh McAllister, Esq., a gray-haired and venerable citizen of McAllisterville, rose,and in a few tremulous, but eloquent remarks, re ferred to Colonel McFarland as one in whom all his fellow-citizens had full confidence, thanking him for his earnest exertions in the office which he so ably filled. MILITARY RECORD REVISED. The EVENING BULLETIN has twice referred, editorially, to the military record of Colonel George P. McLean, formerly commanding the It: 4 3d Regiment, P. V., quotingfrom the official report of General N. A. Miles, charging him with incompetence to command his regiment, and from the verbal statements of officers of the 18;3d Regiment, charging him with coward— ice on the field, on the eve of the battle of the Wilderness. At the suggestion of the editor of this paper, Colonel McLean has addressed a letter to General Miles, whose reply, printed below, is an entire retraction of that officer's officiaLreport and a full vindication of Colonel McLean's military record. We cheerfully pub lish General Miles's letter as an act of simple justice, and also a letter from Captain James Griffith of the 18t.i4 Regiment, in reply to the charge of cowardice in the presence of the enemy:..

I presume I am in some degree responsible for your leaving the service at the opening of that decisive campaign of the war. 1 thought that you had fully perfbrmed your duty to the Government in organizing and bringing to the field your regiment, and I thought that it would be advisable for you, and as well for the (=overfill - lei : lt, for you to give place to some younger an, not that lin the least doubted your courage, for you had given the strongest proof of that by desire to continue in service,• and by remaining with your command and even under tire after you had ceased to be an officer of the army._ .py. predictions proved to he • correct as to your power to endure the trials of that campaign, as none but the Strong est andyounger.oflicers were able to stand the hardships of the marches and battles — of 1804 from the Rapidan to Richmond. ft affords me pleasure thus briefly to allude to your services, and 1 trust your years may be many hi which to enjoy the consciousness of having faithfully rendered valuable service to the Government in the hour of its greatest trial. -Very respectfully yours, [Signed,] N.

Ile liked to talk about the audiences that came to hear him read, and be gave the palm to his Parisian one, saying it was the quickest to catch his meaning; Although he said there were many always present in his room in Paris who did not fully understand EngliSh, yet the French eye is so quick to detect expression that it never failed instantly to understand what he meant by a look .or an act. "Thus, for in stance," he said, "when I was impersonating Steerforth in 'David Colipertield,' and gave that peculiar grip of the hand to Emily's lover, the French audience burst into cheers and rounds of applause." He said with reference to the preparation of his readings, that it was three months' hard labor to get up one, of his own stories for public recitation, and he thought he had greatly 'improved his presentation of the " Christmas Carol" While in this country. Ile considered the storm scene in "David Copper field" one of the mcist effective of his readings. The character of 'hick Hopkins in " Bob Saw yer's Party " he took great delight in represent ing. DICKENS AND TILE TitEATEr. He was passionately fond of the theatre, loved the lights and music and flowers, and the happy faces of the audience ; he was accus tomed to say that his-love of the theatre never failed, and, no matter how .dull the . play, lie was always careful while he sat in the box to make no sbund which could hurt the feelingS of the actors, or show any lack of attention. His genuine . entlinkasni - for 3lr: Yechtef's acting was most interesting. He loved to describe seeing him first, quite by accident,. in Paris, having strolled, into a little,theatre there one night. "He was making love to a woman," Dickens said, "and he so elevated her as well as himielf by the sentiment in which he -enveloped her, that they trod in a purer ether, and in. another sphere, quite lifted out of. the present. 'By heavens!' I said to myself, 'a man who can' do this" can 'do anything.' `I never saw two people more l purely and instantly . elevated by the ixywer of leve.

Those were his days of severe training, when in rain and sleet and cold he dashed along, ,scarcely able to keep the blinding mud out of his tired eyes ; and he im puted much of his ability for steady hard work to his practice as a reporter, kept at his grind ing business, and determined if possible to earn seven guineas a week. A large sheet was started at this period of liis life. in which all the important speeches of Parliament were to be reported verbat hi< for future reference. Dickens was engaged on this gigantic journal.. 2ifr. Stanley had 'spoken was a very long and eloquent speech, occupy ing many lionr; in the delivery. Eight re porters were sent in to do the work,. Each one was required ,to ..report three-quarters of an hour, then to retire, write out his portion, and to be succeeded by the nest. Young Dickens was detailed to lead off with the first part. It also fell to his lot,, when the time came round, to report the closing portions of the speech. (hi Saturday the whole was given to the press, and Dickens ran down to the country for a Sunday's rest. KM ER, ON Sunday morning had scarcely dawned, when his father, who was a man of immense energy, made his appearance in his son's sleeping-room. Mr. Stanley was so dissatisfied with what he found in print, except the beginnirm and end ing of his speech (just what Dickens had re ported) that he sent immediately to the office and obtained the sheets of these parts of the report. He there found the name of the re porter, which, according to custom,was written on the margin. Then he requested that the young man bearing the name of Dickens should be immediately sent for. -. Dickens's father, all aglow with the prospect of probable promotion in. the office, went immediately to his son's stopping-place in the country and brought hiM hack to London. In telling the story, Dickens said :" I remem ber perfectly to this day the. aspect of the room I was shown into and die two gentlemen iu it, Mr. Stanley and his father. Both gentlemen were extremely courteMis to me; but I 'noted their evident surpriSe at the appearance of so young. a man.

"He came into the' ball by hiniself," said . he, "got a goodiplace before the reading began; and paid strict-attention throughout: He came the second night, and was ignominiously shown out by. one of the .check=takers. OU the third night he appeared again . with another dog, 'which he had evkleutly promised, to pass, in free; but 'you , see,"continued Dickens, "'upon the imposition being, unmasked; the other dog apologized - by 7a-how lr and-withdrew. - Ills-in tentions, no doubt, were of the best, but he afterwards rose to ekplairis 'outside, with such inconvenient eloquence to the reader 'and his - audience that they were obliged to put him down stairs."

All animals which he took under his especial patronage seemed to have a marked_ affection for_ him. Quite a' eolony of dogs ' has ,always _been a feature at Gad's Hill. When Dickens returned home from his last visit to America, these dogs were frequently spolrep of in his letters. In Jl44r, 186 S , he 'writes : As...you ask me about the dogs, I begin with then 3 - - The two Newfoundland dogs coming to meet me, with • the usual carriage and the usual driver, and be holding ine-coming in my usual dress out at the usual door, it struck me that their recollec tion of my having been absent for any, unusual time was at 'once cancelled. They behaved (they are , both young, ,dogs) exactly in, their usual Manner cooling behind the basket' phaeton as we trotted along, and lifting their, heads to have their ears pulled—a special at tention which they receive from no • one ,else. But when I drove into the stable-ya'rd, Linda (the St. Bernard) was greatly excited, weeping profusely, and throwing herself on her back that she might caress. my foot with her great fore-paws. •M.'s little dog, too, Mrs. Bouncer, barked in the greatest agitation, on being called down and asked, Who is this? , tearing round and round me like the dog in the Faust outlines." many_ walks a.nd ta).ks with Dickens, his conversation, now, alas! so imperfectly recalled, frequeigly ran opthe 'habits of birds, the raven, of course, interesting him particularly. He always liked to have a raven hopping about his grounds, and whoever has - read the new preface to 4 ! Barnaby Itudge,'", must remember several of his old friends in that line. Ile had quite aftind of canary-bird. anecdotes, and the pert ways of birds that picked up worms for a livihg afforded him infinite amuserhent. He would give a capital imitation of the, way a robin redbreast' cocks his li6ad on' one side preliminary to a dash forward, in the direction of a wriggling victim. There is a small grave at Gad's Hill to which Dickens would occa sionally take a. friend, and it was quite a privi lege to stand_ vvith him_ beside the burial-place of little Dick, the family's favorite canary. When- in the mood for humorouS character ization.-Dickeffs's hilarity was -most amazing. To hear him tell a ghost story, with a very-flo-, rid imitation of-a-very pallid ghost, or hear him sing an old-time stage-song; such as-he used to,; enjoy in his youtb at 'acheap-London theati^e to see him imitate a lion in a menagerie cage, or the clown ifl Ipantoniime whenle.-flopsand folds himself up like a jack-knife, or to join with him in some mirthful game of his own composing, irasto become acquainted with One of the most delightful and original Companions in the world. On one occasion, during a walk, he chose to, run into the wildest of vagaries about conrer al;on. The ludicrous vein he indulged in during that two hours' stretch can, never, be forgotten. :Ardong other tbings, he said . he had often thought how restricted one's conver sation must become whep one was visiting a man who was to be hanged in half an hour. He went on in a most surprising manner to imagine all sorts of difficulties in the way of becoming interesting to the poor fellow. "Sup pose," said he, "it shouhl be a rainy morning while_you are making the ca.ll,_you_ could not %1.1 ha- iy indulge in the remark, We shr._ rave tine weather to-morrow; sir,' for what would that be to him ? For my part, I think, " said Le, " I should confine my observations to the days of Julius Caesar or Ring Alfred. " At another time, when speaking of what was constantly said about him in certain newspa pers„he observed: "1 notice.that about once in every seven years I become the victim of a paragraph disease. It breaks out in England, travels to India by the overland roate, gets to America per Cunard line, strikes the base of the Rocky Mountains, and rebounding back to Europe, mostly perishes on the steppes of Rus sia from inanition and extreme co „lii." When he felt he was not under observation, and that tomfoolery would not be frowned upon or gazed at with astonishment, he gave himself up with out reserve to healthy amusement and strength ening mirth. It was his mission to make peo ple happy. Words of good cheer were native to his lips, and he was always doing , what he could to lighten the lot . of all who came into his beautiful presence. His talk was simple,natural and direct,uever dropping into circumlocution nor elocution. Now that he is gone, whoever hao known him intimately for any considerable period of time will linger over his tender regard for, and his engaging manner with, children; his cheery - good day" to poor people he happened to be passing in the road-;:his trustful and earnest Please God," when he was promising himself any special pleasure,like rejoinit , an old friend or'returning again to scenes be loved. At such times his voice bad an irresistible pathos in it, and his smile diffused a sensation like music.
