through various materials, and reached Ihe

RIVAL RAIL ROADS TO) IIARRISBtlRO.
There is a spirited rivalry in the Phila
delphia newspapers, between the Lebanon
valley rail road company, and the Lan
caster, Lebanon and . Tinegrove rail road
company. The first road connect with
the Reading rail road at Reading and run
through Lebanon to Harrisbttrg. The lat
ter road strike the Reading road at Thee
niiville, and extend through Lebanon to
Pinegrove. Gen. Cameron it the President
of the Lebanon Valley road, and Christian
E. Spangler of Philadelphia, President of
the other. Both gentlemen are energetic
and enterprising men, and the probability
is that both road will be made. This is an
mporlant matter to this section of country,
as botn roads will form a connection at
Harrisburg with the Susquehanna rail road,
running from this place. These roads, will
no doubt, be so constructed as to run the
distance from Philadelphia to Harrisburg,
n less than four hours, so that Ihe running
time from this to Philadelphia will be but
six hours. The time required by way of
the Philadelphia and Sunbury road, through
Pottsville, will be about Ihe same. Travel
lers will, therefore, have a choice of
routes at this place, and may go by one
and return by the other.
RAIL ROAD SI BSCRIPriON CASE.
Some of, our readers are perhap
aware that a bill was sent before the Grand
Jury, in April last, charging several of our
most respectable citizen with an attempt
to bribe Christian Albert, one of the Com
missioners of the county, to induce him to
subscribe 8200,000 to the stock of the Sus
quehanna rail road company. That Jury
was composed of men of character and
standing, from the different sections of the
county. Mr. Albert was the only witness
examined, and such was the nature of the
evidence, or rather want of evidence, that
the Grand Jury promptly ignored the bill
The prosecution was then looked upon as
one got tip for sinister purposes, well un
derstood in this neighborhood, and designed
rather to gratify some private pique, or
malicious promptings, than the public good.
But as there had been some vague rumor
n circulation, there might then have been
some iight excuse for these proceedings.
But after such a quietus, one would have
supposed that the originators and actors in
the matter, would have been glad to have
seen the whole transaction rest under a
loud of oblivion.
Not so, however, with the instigators oi
this prosecution, or we should more prop
erly say, persecution. They had been
foiled with their own weapons. A few
men in one corner of the county, were
called upon, and prompted by the prime
movers, who, strange lo say, reside in
Danville, in another county. Information
was made before Esquire Eckman of Rush,
a Justice of the Peace, whose location was
most convenient for the operators in Dan
ville, and he sympathiei of whose heigh
bors were more likely to assimulate with
Ihe citizens of that place. John G. Mont
gomery, Esq., of Danville, whose love for
the interest ol the people of this county
and for the people of Sunbury in particular,
is proverbial, had invested himself with
the title of counselor and prosecutor gen
eral. At his instance a special, instead of
a general warrant was issued, compelling
the defendants, oneof whom together with
Mr. Albert, the witness, reside in the ex.
treme end of the county 30 miles distant,
to appear before the Justice in Rush, with
in a few miles of Danville.
We expected, as a matter of course, that
some additional testimony would be offer
ed, but strange to say, Mr. Albert was the
only witness examined, and he swore that
his testimony was the same as that offered
before the Grand Jury, and upon which
that respectable body had promptly dismis-
missed the case.
In his argument Mr. Montgomery assail
ed the defendants with all the venom and
bitterness he could muster, and in th
ebullition of his frenzy charged Ihe Borough
oi Sunbury with wholesale corruption, a!
ledging that the defendants came from "a
tainted atmosphere."
Happily, however, Mr. Montgomery is
looked upon as a kind of a mono maniac
upon any thing relating to Sunbury, and
this whole movement is so well understood
by every right minded man in the commu
nity, that it can reault in no injury to any
one except, perhaps, to the originators o
these proceedings. We should have left
his case for adjustment by the court, with'
e -
out a word of comment, had not Mr.
Montgomery caused an exparte statement
to be made iu the Danville papers.

MORE RAILROADS.
The AUcntoien Democrat thinks that sec
cess of the Lebanon Valley Railroad, renders
ihe early commencement and completion,
also, of the Allentown and Port Clinton "Rail
road, no longer doubtful. The editor says:
' It ntf be made, and that, too, speedily,
inasmuch as it foims a short link of about
30 miles in the great chain of Railroads that
are to connect the city of New York and the
East with the trade of the South East and
West. Look at the routs, whieh will be
nearly as follows: From New York over the
New Jersey and Central Raiload to Easton,
Pa., a distance of 63 miles, now in operation ;
from Easton to Ailunlown, a distance of 14
miles; from Allentown to Port Clinton, a dis
tance of 30 miles; from Tort Clinton to Au
burn, on tho Philadelphia and Reading Road,
distance of 6 miles; by Ihe Dauphin ana
Susquehanna Railroad from Auburn to tho
coal mines of Rauch Gap, 31 miles; from
Rauch Gap to Dauphin, on the Susquehanna,
29 miles; and thence over the Pennsylvania
Central Railroad, now in operation, lo Pitts
burg, "a distance of 218 miles; making a
considerably shorter route from New Yoik to
Pittsburgh and tho Ohio than any other.
When we'eonsider, loo, thai this wholo line,
with the exception of these thirty miles, will
be in successful operation in a very few
months, it would be absurd for our people lo
feel indifferent to these enterprises."
Accident im a Coal Mine. On Wednes
day morning, as the workman were about
entering the coal mines of Ihe Messrs. Mor
ton, at Donaldson, Schuylkill county, a laige
mass of coal fell, completely burying one of
the men in a standing position. After re
maining in that situation for 22 hours, he
was taken out wilhout having received the
slightest injury. His life was preserved by
a largo lump of coal about ten yards in thick
ness, which wedged him so lightly that he
was unable to move. The mass of coul that
fell, was estimated at 75 tons, being Ihe re
sult of a single blast Ihe night previous.
FATAL ACCIDENT.
We aje pained lo learn that John Ueuing

four other persons. When about midway
the boat sunk, and before assistance arrived,
these two were drowned.
In connection with this two other accidents

DIASTIlOl'S CONFLAGRATION IN TITTS
B LRU II.
Pittsburgh, June 27. Last night, near
the canal, a. most disastrous fire broke out(
which, at one time, from the inll.immablo
material, threatened the destruction of
large portion of that part of tho city.
About half-past nine o'clock the alarm of
fire was sounded, and found to proceed from
the burning of the canal boat Charles Dunn,
lying in the basin. The fire rapidly spread
and communicated tu the adjacent ware
houses Mulvany & I.edlie lost two thousand boxes
of glas, lor which they were insured for
$6500 in Ihe Delaware Mutual. The fire
spread on both sides, and all the adjoining
property was more or less injured.
During the fire a difficulty look place be
tween some of the firemen. A few minutes
afler a man by the of G. Gracey, cut Thomas
McCluskey with a knifo. The unfortunate
man lived but a short lime after receiving
the slab. In tho confusion the murderer
escaped, and has thus far eluded Iho pursuit
of Ihe otfieers.
About half-past ten o'clock a most thrilling
and frightful scene ocrurrcd. About I wo
bundled persons were standing on the briJge
which crosses Ihe basin, when it suddenly
gave way, precipitating the whole of them
into the canal. A cry ol horror arose, and
hundreds at once rushed lo the rescue A
large number of them were seriously injured,
but it is believed that not a single life was
lost.
The whole loss by the fitn is estimated at
from $75,000 lo 8100,00(1, which i partly
covered by insurance.
California Summkr Crops. The Santa

cate that the harvest throughout the valley of
San Jose will be far greater than ever wa re
