on Wednesday, Ilio Ctli inst., making Iho
passage in nine days, fourteen hours, twenty
tninittcs apparent, or nine Joys, eighteen three
tU(ttlcrs hours actual lime, from port lo port.
If eonnleil from Iho time sho passed tlio Bar

hour shorter llian wo liavo mado it above.
It is at all events the shortest passage ever
'i'ho Baltic had good weather and fair
winds for tlio greater part of Iho passage,
und made Capo Raco several houis quicker
than it was ever before made by a vessel
from Europe. This side of that Cape, sho
experienced thick weather and adverse
winds, nnd, having lost several flouts from
her wheels, her speed was considerably re
larded, but she has nevertheless made, a
iriagiiilicent voyage. She left New York
less than days ngn.
Sho brings 113 passengers, including

find some late news under our telegraphic

Mingle of the Philadelphia station, and to
Mr. Carver at llazlelon. We arc pleased
to 1 earn that Mr. Alinglc has resumed his
post and we presume this will be the case
with all who have business over the lines,
as Mr. Mingle is not only prompt and cor
rect, but always obliging.

We neglected to mention in our notice
ol Col. Kigler, at the Northumberland meet
ing, that he had been at the Washington
House, in this place, for several hours on
the same day, and received the congratula
tions of a largo number of new and old
friends and acquaintances. Col. Piglor,
unlike some other candidates that have pre
ceded him, makes a favorable impression
wherever he goes. His face bears the im
press of a frank, honorable and sensible
man, and his address, though dignified, is
always pleasant and agreeable. This in
deed may he said of both candidates, and
they are both fine looking men but as
a largo niaiority ot the people ol I'enn
sylvania are democratic, and coincide with
Col. Eigler in his political views, lie must
necessarily he fleeted Governor of the
State, by a large majority.

Friend Swineford of New llerlin, has
converted his paper, "The Samaritan," into
a religious paper with the above title. It
is handsomely printed on good paper, and
well filled with orijrinal matter. The edi
tor slates what is very tiue, that a local
paper, whether political or religious, must
possess more interest for the neighborhood
or section of country, in which it is pub
lished than a city paper. We trust the en
terprise will prove as successful, as the edi
tor is deserving, lor his perseverance and
industry.
A KAIL IIOAI) II) DANVILLE.
Under this head and over the signature
of K., appears in the last Danville Demo
crat, a stupid article to prove that Danville
should be made a "point" in the railway
Communication between Philadelphia and
the Lakes. It has always been the custom
of the citizens of Danville to make that
place a "point" so near their ryes that it is
impossible for any thing else to come with
in the scope of their vision. In the pre
sent instance the author has not failed in
his adherence to that custom. Danville
furnaces, Danville rolling mills, Danville
foundries, and Danville enterprise, are the
.subjects of his pen and the objects of his
praise. Through the whole of a column
and a half of brevier, lie boasts of her re
sources in extravagant terms, and only de
scends from lofty flights of gasconade to
abuse of a neighboring town. Boasting
and self adulation are at all times in bad
taste, and become grossly so when the ob
jects of it have been elevated not by their
own exertions, but are the creatures of cir
cumstance, raised to a little distinction by
the adventitious aid of foreign capital and
foreign enterprise. Self praise always
conies with bad grace, and is never so dis
gusting as when it is accompanied by de
traction of a rival. We might pardon a
little display id natural pride in the author
when he speaks of the improvements of the
town in which he lives, but there was no
necessity ol his referring in terms of abuse
lo any other place. Jewellers sometimes
use a foil to set ofl to advantage the bril
liancy of a false diamond, and with the
same object, we presume, the author insti
tuted his comparison in this instance. The
only excuse we know ol for him is that he
resides in a place where detraction and
calumny emanate from the citizens as natu
rally as the miasma rises from the stagnant
waters and decaying vegetation which sur
rounds it. Like the first fratricide, their
hands are against every man, though un
fortunately they have not Ihe palliation of
that wretched outcast, that every man's
hand was against him. They are not on
good terms with any town in their vicinity.
The hostility of Hannibal to tho ancient
Romans is not without a parallel since
their feuds with their Bloomsburg rivals,
and even among themselves, one half of
tho citizens are at daggers points with each
other. K. must have inhaled the spirit he
displays with the atmosphere of tho town.
But there is another reason for his at
tack. Tho Danville and Pottsvillc Rail
Road, unfortunately, never reached that
place. And why 1 Its original projectors,
the lamented Gen. Daniel Montgomery,
and John C. Boyd, Esq., now no more,
both citizens of Danville, who seemed lo
possess all the public spirit and practical
enterprise ol the place, saw that the natural
route fur the road was to Sunbury, and sa
crificed their local preferences to the pub
lic good. Though they would have pre
ferred having the road made to Danville
instead of Sunbury, where they had no in
terest whatever, yet they could not see the
propriety of making a road with steep
grades or an inclined plane, to take coal
twelve miles further from market, when
an outlet with a descending grade, nearer
market was belore them. But they had
not the aid of these modern lights, who
look upon long continued grades, rails upon
stills, and bridges 120 feet high, as noth
ing, provided always that Danville is made
a "point." That "coal can be carried much
cheaper on the canal" than on such a road(
none will deny. It is true that tho road
from this place to Shamokiu, has (alien to
partial decay, and the engine and curs, in
deed all the totato of tho company have
been sol I to pay their debt in Ixhuylkill
county, where vast expenses were incurred
and large sums squandered, without any
profit or advantage, but there are individu
als now ready to relay the old track from
this place to Shamokin, and the work will
be done before another year. Still the old
road is an rye sore to K. because it did not
terminate in Danville. Now Danville,
thanks to the aid and comfort it received
from the capital and energy of enterprising
Tankees, is a flourishing place. It has its
furnaces, foundries, mills, hank and Court
House though some are to be found who
hold no high opinion of the means by
which (ho latter was obtained. Still K.
should recollect that at the time the branch
rail road was made, Danville was a small
place, and contained some nine hundred
inhabitants, whom envious strife blinded
and petly bickerings kept continually at
loggerheads. It was not known then that
Massachusetts and New York would build
their rolling mills and furnaces there, but
it was known that it possessed no peculiar
natural advantages, and no men of influ
ence or enterprise. This recollection
should have soothed the galled spirit of
K, and made him less rampant and cruel.
Make your Rail Road, Mr. K., hut cease
making comparisons, cease making remarks
which will create dissension, when union
is so necessary for the great work you de
sire. We havo no fear of rivalry ourselves
in regard to tins route to Erie. The road
from this place to Harrisburg, must and
will be made soon, by those who can make
it, and it would be worse than folly to sup
pose that Baltimore would forgo the ad
vantages of a connection with the Sunbury
and Erie, and the New York and Erie
roads, by refusing lo make the link of road
from this to Williamsport, not over steep
grades and deep ravines, but over an almost
perfect level.
Nature has made Sunbury a point, and
all the croakings and perversions of inter
ested rivals will not deprive her of that ad
vantage. We will not take the trouble to refute
the absurdity that Siinbuiv is "not a t.oint
where iron manufacturers can be expect
ed," when it is known that we have iron
ore and limestone as convenient as some of
the Danville works, and coal more conve
nient.
If the projectors of railways have not
thought Danville of ns much importance to
mankind as its own citizens do, and have
not made it a "point," we are not censura
ble. If it is so world-renowned as you as
sert, and we believe it is rather notorious
at Harrisburg, why do you take so much
trouble to bring it into notice? For our
part we shall not discuss the advantages of
the place you assail, because they arc well
known, as the designation pf it, by men
who really know what they are about, as
the terminus of three great rail roads, suffi
ciently proves. On the same principle, we
will do the public the justice to believe
they can appreciate your mis-statements,
and not take the trouble to convict you
ol sheer ignorance or wiiful perversion.

three children were returning to llieir home
from school, near Liberty, in Amite comity,
they were overtaken by a puck of dogs in
pursuit of runaway negroes. Tho dogs fell
upon them, nnd, before assistance could be
rendered, killed and nearly devoured every
one of them '. The father of Iho children,
hearing their screams and the balking of the
dogs, ran out with his gun and succeeded in
killing two of them. At this timo tho own
er ol the dogs rodo up, nnd threatened to
shoot the father if he shot nny mora of the
dogs. Tho distressed father reloaded his
gun and deliberately shot lliu owner of Ihe
dogs through the heart, afler which ho gave
himself up, was tried and discharged. We
