' When "ihe tLroes of revolution were shaking this land from centre to circum ference and the end seemed obscured in doubt and uncertainty, aud thousands of om citixen had gathered togtehe r on the famous field of Gettysburg, to dedicate a monument to the memory of tbe brave heroes who fell in that bloody battle. Among other things said so wisely and eo well on that occasion by the "Lament ed Lincoln" nothing be then uttered went to tbe hearts of tbe Americau people and received eo hearty and so earnest appro bation as did these words that "this was a government of tbe people and for the people,' and yet soniid as the precept seems to be. it is no less strange that our Legislators clothed with a little brief au thority received from tbe people, some times act contrary to tbe very spirit con Uined iu this principle, and trample ruth lessly upon tbe rights of these wose designated servants they are. TbeU piincipled greed of corporative power has at last aroused tbe just indignation of the people, and ritiug in tbe oil re gions, aud lumber regions, regardless of party aud all other considerations, are but tbe low tnutteriugs of the coming storm that will gather force as the year pass by aud ere loug fiuii expression iu such uumistable languxge that the poli tician and tbe office holder will cleaily understand that all the power is vested in tbe people and that they, the people ; are jealous of their rtrfl.ts In a former letter I referred to the great excitement prevailing throughout tbe oil regions againrt tbe South Improvement Coin pany, a corporation that had succeeded iu effecting a combination with other corporative interests in that Section of tbe State, that completely controlled the shipment of oil, and entirely monopeliz iog tbe trade and trafic of that valuable mineral wraith, making the produce! s of it pay into the treasury of this corpora tion such exborbitant taxes that it be came unbearable and a huge imposition upon their rights. No longer willing to stand it they rose up in tbeir might and in large mass meetings held all through that section of country iu strong terms denouueed the action of the last Legisla ture that had granted to a few men pnvi leges to extort from the many, and gather immense tolls from the iudustry aud le gitimate business interest of a whole community. The result of these meet ings was, a delegation of oil men were sent here last week to represent to the Legislature their grievances and ask from that body relief from the grasping monoply that had fastened itself upou i them, aud liks a vampire was diiuking thn very life blood from them. Tbe ad ministration of tbe people out there bad been so strong, that their influence was plainly felt here, aud the Legislature dare not pass them by unbiedcd A bill was introduced, passed both branches and was si -'tied by the Executive in less than tweuty-f our hours after the arrival of the delegation. There was not a single vote against it in either House, it is call, d tbe Free Pipe bill, and gives them the right to establish competing liues of trausportaliou. Thus did tbe people prove tbeir great power, aud con quer in tbeir first battle agaiust corpora- ln power, Iu last week's letter I also alluded to contest going ou here against the Sus- n , -n i i n- qucbauna Room L ill , located at Williams port. When the company was firat char tered, it was limited to a charge of 50 cents boomage per thousand feet, but by slipping supplements through the Legis lature at different times since, they bave gradually raided it until now tbey charge $1.-5 boomage. The lumber men com plain of this as an unjust aud uuwaran tahle tax. Every man who owns a saw mill or swings an axa iu tbe forest of tbe lumber regions, is interested in this ques tion, and every consumer of lumber, and every man that builds a house in this and adjoining counties, are aloo interest ed, for they help to pay the rnoimous tgI . . . . . . an last week reducine the booinaee to 90 i a d ii was nassen in ine .nntn i j- -.- , cents, and a disposition was shown to kill it iu the Uouse ; but the lumbermen are in earnest, and there will be a dele gation of near one hundred here this week, to impress upon tbe members of theIlouse tbe great necessity of passing tbe bill Tbe par value of the shares iu the boom company, is S100.it cannot be bought for SI. 000 per share The boom cost originally $160 000. They boom annually 200,000.000 feet of lum- jber, which at $1.25 per thousand feet. makes it very valuable stock, to the very few persons who own it On Wednesday of last week the Gov ernor astonished tbe Legislature, and everybody else around here, by sending into the Senate a message appointing C. D. Brigbam, editor of the Pittsburg Commercial, Auditor General, and ask ing that the appointment be confirmed. Tbe message was referred to the Judiciary Committee, where it has Iain ever since Mr. Brigbam has been in the State only five or six years, and has nr t been a very devoted Republican during his stay amongst ns. Politcally he belongs to the bolting element in Allegheny coun ty, and his appointment over the shoul ders of older and more prominent ciii zeus, as well at life-lone Renublieans. has been the source of considerable com ment. However, the Senate will no doubt pas the House bill allowing Gen. Hartranft to hold over until after his suc cessor qualifies, and providing for the election of an Auditor General at the next anuual October election A there clearly a doubt about the power of tb ' UovernoTto appoiut and tbe Legislature WtiatiWWeWWttetWWMatMWtSMIWIWM'WWt'tlttlllttlllHIWStimilHIllMlllUllliaillllllll IIHIOIIISII MiliiiruWI,iw..W,,,,,,,.n,, entire power over me matter, wu is thought by all parties the proper plan to dispose of it Tbe Senate acted upon and passed a constitutional convention bill last week. Tbe bill as passed makes tbe convention to eonsift of 150 mem bers, 80 to be elected at large, each voter to vote for ten, and the remaining 152 delegates shall be apportioned to and elected from the Senatorial districts, four delegates to be elected for each Senatorial district, thereupon each voter to vote for one-half tbe number the district is en titled to Tbe bill was sent to the Hou.-'e. I ut it refused to coucur in the amendment made by the Senate, aud it will now go to a committee of conference, which committee will uo doubt report a bill that both Houses will agree too As one "f tbe Attorneys for the Com monwealth in tbe Credit Mobilier case, Lewis W. Hall laid his claim, for fees, before tbe Senate Fiance Committee last week. He bad really only a'tt'tt J in collecting about $17,000, and he asked the modest little sum of $20,000. but finally rame down aud agrei d to take $10,000. The committee would not a.ree to give over this, but I believe have con sented to insert a clause in tbe appropria tion bill to leave the matter to Judge Pearson, and authorizing the State Trea surer to pay Mr. Hall whatever the Judge shall decide Hall's services to be worth. Hie following bills relating to your county, were all acted- on, since I last wrote yon : lly Mr Griffiih. to incorporate the Odd F Hows' ball association of MifHiutown.

Tbe first of these had been passed by the Senate, and is reported in the Home ; the second one passed by the Senate only, and tbe third has been passed by both branches. In relation to general bills in the House, one was favorbly reported giving half the penalty to informers, in cases where the law is violated by tbe pub lishing of obscene advertisements ; one authorizing tbe society for the prosecu tion of cruelty to animals, to et p cock and dog fighting. Tbe bill making seven per ceut. the legal rate of interest, was reported negatively The Senate passed th following bills, that is of general in terest to all travelers An act amending the proviso in sec tion five of an act to prevent frauds npon travelers, approved the sixth day of May, Anno Domini one thousaud right hun dred aud sixty-three, as fo lows f-KCTloN 1.

Allegheny a.d tbe Columbia districts have not elected Senatorial delegates, and Philadelphia, Allegheny, Westmoreland, Dauphin, Montour, Mercer, and Columbia, must still choose Representative delegates, making eight Senatorial and thirty two Representatives yet to be elected. Our Democratic friends here are in no amiable mood since the news from New Hampshire came in. Republican victo ries now seem to have the same depres sing effect amongst them that Union- victories over Rebels in tbe late war pro duced. Oue of them, more progressive and sensible than tbe rest, said he was glad that his party bad been defeated up in New Hampshire, for if they had been successful hn had no doubt but what Jeff Davis would bave been the next nominee for President. In fact, the news from all parts of tbe State, where Spring elec tions were held last Friday, are very cheering to Republicans, and indicate to almost certainty what the verdict of the people will be next fall. The Dem ocratic party may as well hang their harps npon tbe willows," and make ready for the great slaughter that will then take place. We will smite them from Maine to California. The McCIure-Gray committee is stiU hnsily engaged examining witnesses For the last several days the sitting mem ber has hern heard. acClnre being tbe . ..... .nrt havinr set forth in bis petition what hV lltd to lie "facta in regard to certain frauds, the brnnt of the battle necessarily rested with him. He has most sirnally failed in his attempt to nruve the allegations. At tbe hands of an honest committee he has not the shad ow of chance of obtaining the seat he so much covets. It remains to be teen yet whether this committee will act honestly or not. We hope thejr may. for they will find the people as good judges of evi dence as themselves, and understand this case thoroughly. Tbe Bogus Diploma Committee held a meeting in Philadelphia last Saturday, and obtained some valuable testimony against Docto- paine, for selling diplo mas. The Evans committee are busily en gaged in taking testimony, and will soon be ready to make partial report. JUNIATA. Communicated. The Claiaas tt the Soldier the Ration's b'raUtade. When tbe fall of Fort Sumpter flashed over the wires, with what patriotic ' zeal and enthusiasm men sprang forward in defence of an imperriled nation. Tbey seemed to realize tbe binding obligations which exists between government aud people, and new was the time to repay part of the debt ; which in doing, thou sands of gallant men sacrificed tbeir en tire future, with all its bright hopes and fond anticipations. Tbe most sacred ties were sundered ; cherished schemes were abandoned ; the allurements of home and society were set aside, and men, without distinction of party, faith or creed, rallied ae one man beneath the flag of Freedom. Thousands who went forth in all the pride of tbeir youth, are to-day reposing beneath the sod, on which flowed their life blood ; and the tens of thousands of our maimed and crippled heroes, who are to be seen in every village and hamlet of our great couutry, speak to ns with a voice not to be mistaken, reminding us that they have'paid the debt which was resting upon them with their blood.

Cbabiisioii, March 12, 1872. GENERAL VIEW OF CHABLBSTO.t. Who doet not know where Charleston is 1 Its history with the past rebellion has brought it within the knowledge of every person North and Sonth, from the sage to the school boy in his teens. Tbe advantage rf its situation far surpass any othet city of the Union in respect to relations civil and military, with other Nation, The city is situated at the conflueuce of the Ashley and Caoper Rivers, two of the lougest and most beau tiful of the south. At you stand facing the Atlantic, the Ashley appears to the right aud the Cooper to the left, two or three indrs apart. These rivers take a sudden turn juid. meet about half way. forming a continuous shore, upon which some of the beautiful residences, prome nades, business bouses and wharves are built. These two great rivers thus meet and with the assistance of the waters of tt.e Atlantic form tbe Bay, and flow east ward along this Bay, which is seven miles to the Ocean, are situated tbe Forts of which we have heard to much, and which will receiro a passing notice in our future letters. From thia shore, formed by the junc tion of these two rivers, the city extends between the river northwestward, and covers an are of three miles square. As might be supposed, the city is com pactly built aud numbers about 50,000 souls, that is, if are are alltnctd to call Xigroct tnuh. Of this-numbcr, the col ored people compose about 25,000. And indeed we could truthfully say that tbe population of Charleston numbers nearly twice 50,000, when we take into consid eration the immense numbers living iu tbe suberbs, who do more or less btiriiiess in tbe city. I intimated that the city was compact ly built. Not, indeed, as a Northerner would take it. For be it known that this is a great couutry for lawns, and shrubbery aud flowers and trees. Now, nearly every bouse worthy the name ia built in the midst of an acie of ground more or less, which is beautified with shrubbery aud trees. This prevents, of course, what might be termed tbe wretched ecounmy of the North, making the outside wall of one house answer for the inside wall of the next. Do we not rather admit e the elegant taste of the people of tbe South T Rut as you walk alone the atn.t tl U an object iou to all this beautified scenery. Very high brick walls enclose the ground of every bouse, and it is only through the opeu gate way that one catches a glimps of the flowers, and shrubs, and vine that bloom and expand within the enclosure. Whether this practice of building high walls is an old Eugli -h fashion or a necessity of slavary, we know not, but one thing is ceitaiu the city would be still mote beautiful were they to adopt the l w irou railing of the the North As we pass these high walls we cauuot help thinking of Barracks, Jails, Peiiitenli tries. Mad-houses, etc etc, and )et after all, tbe deep, dark greeu ol branches over the pavement outside. forming a beautiful canopy nnder which it is pleasant to walk .: 1 Charleston is an old city. Iu 1700 it numbered 10,359 Is it any wonder that some portions of it bear the inai ks of age 1 Yet are they not. magnificience and glory iu age I Many of the buildings were erected si colonial times. The chimney are of a quaint fashion, and tbe roofs are mostly of grooved red tiles. Here stand in all tbeir historic glory buildings which-were used by our patriots in t lift R.fi1i,tinn and In ti.rn l,w ta i ,, . . , T . , . .... , lintish, 1 was in the luilding to dav 6 ""j in which many of the pratri.it prisoners were confined, and from the portals of wbicb the heroic martyr Itayne was led to execution But we must leave par ticlars for another time. 1 ake it all in all Charleston is a fine looking old city. Though it suffered considerably in civil and commercial in terest from the late war. yet she bai within her limits that which must give ber glory and renown as long as time shall last. There is too much io Charles ton to be lost to this great Nation. May we not hope for the day when (be shall assume the position which she held pre vious to tbe Rebellion to which she gave birth aud stimulated during those san guinary year ? CLIMATB OF CHAHL8STO.il. Much baa been said of the "Sunny South," well it is a place of suu aud warmth. It may be said that we have no winter here one couliuual round of summer. The people say, however, that this has been the hardest winter for many years, but 1 could not realize it,. We bave had cool days for a week at a time, but these days were just cool enough to make one feel comfortable with gloves and a great coat on Tbey were just such aays as tbe new &nglauders bave in Oc tober aud November when they begin to gather iu corn aud winter applea Flow ers bloom, vegetables grow and the mag noli does not cast ber foliage duriugthe winter. Fuel is high, but a luck will have it, we don't use much. Fire is a luxury sometimes, but at other times it is a nuisance. Beach trees io bloom and tbe thermometer ia op to 60 in the shade. Birds sing all winter here. We are having our first instalment of vegetables. Radishes, onions, beets, let- tnee and such like are in our market We have the promise from the market managers that fresh peas will soon be on the board, which on account of the se vere winter are late. Strawberries, eorn, potatoes, blackberries and tnmatnea will be plenty next mouth. Who would not live in the south ? Yu ara walaom., tn your maple m classes Your friend, W. A. PATTON.

And turning on bis heel onr bachelor exclaimed : "Thank hea ven I've got that off my mind." The reporter of the Reading Each in terviewed Mies Mary Kobinsnn. who lay twenty live days aud uights in a trance, . . . "i . . 0 . .... Among otner tbings tb told bim that while in that condition she passed through terrible scenes, on one occa-ion bein" sentenced to be beheaded as was John the Baptisr, at another time hanged, then to be etoued to death ; that she was bu ried alive and tortured in many ways after this she had nothing but beautiful visions. - Somebody has been asoond Allentown selling a "Disinfectant Sachet. A pre ventive against small pox, fever. Sic." The charge for this charm wag twenty -five Cents and the agent always instruc ted his enstomers not to tear it open and to wear it inside the vest, or as near to tbe body as possible. Af:cr wearing one of these a week a Chnrnkte subscriber bad the curiosity to open it and made tbe mortifying discovery that it contained nothing but saw dust. The Chicago, Journal gives the follow ing as a fact: The day after "the storm." Mr. Martin, of Lyons couutv. found a man by the name of Abbot, nearly frozen Ut death. He took Abbot to his honae. and saved his life by placing him in a bar rel of water, where he remained twenty, four hour nntil every particle of frost was extracted from bis body Abbot' legs from his hip to his te. were froxen hard a board. Ilia bands, face, ears and other portions of his bodj were badly frosted also, but it is expected he will Weover without losing his limbs.
