THE I PVHTAI. IMLAt E.
OPENING OF THE EXHIBITION.
HI ! Ik Proliant ! the tailed States.
Th New Yoik papers ara filled whh de
tails of the sayings, doings, incidents and
ceremonies stimulant upon the opening of
Ihe World'a Fair in ihe Crystal Palace. We
eondensa the following account of the cere
monies The Carmi. Pai.aci: in opmed! TIip
great event on which so tnnny hopes and
xpeelaliona and anxieties were clustered, in
at last completed. The preat Templo of
National Tiuluetiy has unclosed its poilala
and displayed its treasures to the multitude.
No event, for a long lime, has c rented so
general and so profound an interest in the
public mind, as yesterday's ceremonial.'
. Al an tarly hour, the Palace was bcseiRed
by applicants for admission. Stern officials
guarded the entrance, nd informed all w ho
came, that until 10 o'clock none but exhibi-
tors would be admitted. At 10, however,
the jealous gates unclosed, and red, and
yellow, and while, and bine invitations pour
ed in at the different entrances. The throng,
even then, was excessive. The omnibusses,
the ears, the hackney conches, all poured
forth their live freight at Forty-second street,
and ladies and gentlemen, at every degree
of temperature, ascended the stairs that led
to the interior.
The Interior of the Palace was even more
imposing than we could have anticipated.
The change wrought in it since the night be
fore seemed a miracie. Everything was
neat and orderly. The floors were thorough
ly swept, much of the contributions were
displayed, among which Thorwaldsen's no.
ble series of Christ and his Apostles, in the
Danish section, attracted much attention.
Bright bnnners flaunted from the rallpries
, "CI
euits of Old Armor, fiom the Tower of Lon.
don, frowned grimly on the scene, as if the
spirit of antiquity was wroth within them at
too contrast between our days, bright with
intellectual progress, and those good old be
nighted times in which they saw service.
And over all, the great Dome stretched its
painted canopy, joining togethei Ihe diverg
ing naves, as the building itself drew togeth
er widely differing nations.
Tub Opknino CERs.vioNiKs.-The President
entered Ihe buildingat a little after 2 o'clock,
preoeeded by the Chief of Police, and walk
ing between Captains Du Pont and Davis.
The Band immediately struck up Hail Co
lumbia, and followed it with Yankee Doodle
end other popular nirs. The President was
escorted to the platform, and seated in a
large chair, at the right or the President of
the Assocsation, who greeted him upon his
entrance. After the audience had become
quiet, and the music had ceased, Right Rev.
Bishop Wainright read a fervent and appro
priite prayer.
A Choral, composed for the occasion, was
then sung to the tune of 'Old Hundred" by
the New York Sacred Harmonic Society,
ocompanied by the National Band, and
members of other Societies and the Organ.
At the conclusion of this Anthem, Theo
dore Sedgwick, Esq., the President of tho
Association, addressed the President of Ihe
United States.
The President rose to reply, and was re
ceived with loud applause. After this had
somewhat subsided, he spoke as follows:
"Sir, I return you. on behairof those of
tny constitutional advisers who are with me
and on my own account, my warm and cor
dial thanks for the reception you have been
pleased to extend to us. 1 have come, Sir
to testify the interest I feel in, and the re
spent entertain for, this great industrial ex
hibitiondesigned and calculated to promote
all that belongs to the interest of our country
Vou, Sir, aud ihe gentlemen who have been
nd are associated with you, have imposed
upon all of us a deep debt of gratitude for
your energy and perseverence in this great
enterprise. Whatevor the short-comings of
which you have spoken may be, I can only
remark that they do not appear here ; and
so far as 1 hare beea able to perceive, they
are lost in your complete aud transcendant
success. Loud and continued applause.
Everything around us reminds ns that we
live in an utilitarian age, where science, in
stead of being locked up for ihe admiration
of the world, has become tributary to the
arl, manufactures, agriculture, aud ull that
goes to promote our dumeslic comforts and
our universal prosperity. Sir, if you had
achieved no other good but that which you
have bringing together in Ibis metropolis,
citizens from all parts of the Union, you
would have fulfilled, pprhaps, o-ia of the
most important of missions thai of strength,
ening and perpetuating that blessed Union.
JGreat applause. But you have dc.-ie more,
and you have nobly alluded it. Your Exhi
bition has been the means of bringing here
from all thecivilized countries on the face
of the globe, men most eminent in all the
walks of life ; and Ihus you have done more
than could be done in almost any other man
ner to promote that great object dear to you
dear to me, ami dear to my venerable friend'
near me, (Bishop Wainright,) peace and yood
will among men. Applause. 1 have not
the voice at this lium to address you al any
greater length, aud conclude by again returr.
ing lo you my thanks for your generous ie
cepiion, and tendering my bean's best with
es for the success of your praiseworthy en
terprise. Applause.
The President during his remarks, was
once or twice interrupted by applause, and
on resuming his seal was greeted w ith six
tremendous cunera. Tlitee cheers were also
given for Theodore Sedgwick.
Then the organ again pealed foiih Ihe
Hallelujah Chorus, from Handel's "Messiah,"
followed by the Triumphal March, by Ferd
Bias, and a Chorus from Haydu's Creation.
The ceremonies concluded, those on the
platform threw off all official formality, and
conversed together in groups on the great
event o( the day, while those in the galleiiea
and naves wandered around the building to
faast tbair eyes upon such stores as were yet
visible.
The President retired to one of Ihe offices
in company with Mr. Sedawick. Beina in.
.. -
formed that General Scoll was in the Palace,
the President sent his respectful regards lo
biffl, aud requested to see him. Genets)
in
Scott instantly called upon Ihe President,
and a very pleasant interview took place be
tween the distinguished gentlemen. M. de
Sariiges, Minister from Frnnco, Senor Al
monte, Minister from Mexico, Baron Girolt,
Minister flom Prussia, and Senqr Molina,
Minister from Costa Pica, also called upon
Ilia Piesidenl al the Palaae and paid their
r.'specls.
THE ni:.T CXTERI'RISE.
A Railroad to connect the Atlantic with
the Pari Pin mast, is no longer regarded as a
visionary idea, in any quarter, neither is its
consirnoiinn voted premature, by tho far-see
ins, enterprising men of tho nation. How is
it to be made! Col. Bunion, that Veteran
politician, who has shown more roal inde
pendence and good sence ihan many men
who have received more praise and place,
upon less merit, tells ns how he would dj itl
"1 am for it ns a national work, lo be done
by the United Stales on its own territory,
from Ihe western frontier of Missouri to Ihe
eastern line of California, and paid out of ihe
public lands on its route. 1 am for the
firmer and settler against the speculator, and
lor a national tree road against a corporation
monopoly. I nm for making tho road, and
settling Ihe country on each side of it on the
preemption pi inciple the principle which
had but few advocates when 1 went into
Congress, and which I fought up to estab
lished popularity. I am for that principal,
and forgiving every settler his preemption
riht in a quarter section ; and so collect
settlers upon both sides of the road, and
through its whole extent. They would pop
ulate the entire route the first season. They
would raise provisions enough to support the
mad. They would bo laborers to work upon
it. They would pay for making the road
with the money which they would give for
preemptions. They would guard and diiecl
it after it was done. They would them
selves become a pari of tho wealth, strength,
and glory of Ihe country, attached to it by
its soil; and converting tho whole wilder
ness, as if by magic into a scene ol civiliza
lion and refinement, aud houses, fields, or
chards, meadows would adorn the land.
Schools, churches, mills, would rise up.
Flocks and herds, and a numerous popula
tion, would give joy anil animation lo tho
scene. The pre-emption principle would do
all this. Look at Plane country, and see
what pre-emptions have done there; ihey
will do the same on the Kansas, the Upper
Arkansas, the San Louis, and other parts of
the central route; and ihey would complete
the maksng of the road in a brief time."
ROAD LAW.
The Supremo Court, at Harrisburjr, have
rnado the following decison:
1. When a road has once been opened by
the supervisor, its location cannot afterwards
be altered by another supervisor, for the pur
pose of placing it on w hat he may suppose
to be its proper site.
2. All authority under Ihe order to open is
exhausted by the action of those lo whom it
was directed, and cannot be resumed, al
though the first location was not according
to the report of ihe viewers.
3. But this rulo does not prevent subse
quent supervisors from clearing out a road lo
its proper width.
4. When a tiack has once been made on
w hich the public can pass, the whoie leaj
breadih of the road is lo be taken as devoted
to public use. and though the power to niake
another location is gone, the right and duty
of Ihe supervisors to remove obstructions
fiom any part of it, remains in full force.
A Wealthy Califohnian, named Fi.tnk
lin C. Gray, about 45 years of age, commit
ted suicide, at the New Rochelle Depot, Ne'T
York, on Friday, by throwing himself under
a passing locomotive and train of cars. Ha
was literally ground to atoms a lucky cir
cumstance for Ihe passengers, for if the train
had been thrown ofT, other lives might have
been sacrificed. People w ho wish to com
mit suicide, should havo some consideration
for tlhor persons who are not tired of life,
and choose some modo of gelling rid of their
earthly troubles without adding the crime of
murder lo that of suicide.
The Receipts of ihe Crystal Palace on
Friday, the first day after the inauguration,
when it was thrown open lo tho puclie,
reached the sum of $3,000. Seven thousand
persons, besides exhibitors, visited Ihe Pul
ace. It will, "no doubt, bean attractive ex
hibition, in the course of a month or two
aud it w ill take that long, at least, to pill it
into anything like presentable order.
Reduction or Fare. The President and
Directors of the llalliniore and Susquehanna
Railroad Company, at Iheii meeting, held on
Thursday last, determined on a reduction oi
passenger fare lo such persons as might be
disposed to purchase luuud trip tickets good
for furly-cight hours. This reduction is ap
plicable to all points on their road, and i to
33 i per cent, or their present rates.

A Rich Becgar. In Baton Rouge, La., a
German begger, apparently blind, solicited
alms of a gentleman, ho jokingly offered
him five dollars if he would change a 8100
bill. Imagine his surprise when the beggar
quietly took the one bundled dollar bill, and
placed it near his defective eyes, deposited
it in one pocket, while he look out a filthy
wallet from which he counted out ninety
five dollais, w hich he handed over to the
gentlemen, leaving the contents of his wallet
still unexhausted.

THE RAIL ROAD BlBSCRtrTIOtt .
In the matter of prosecution of citizens of
Northumberland counly, on a charge of at
tempting lo bribe Mr, Albert, one of the
Commissioners, a desire lo avoid doing in
justice to any of the parlies, is our reason
for now staling that this charge "vas laid be
fore the Grand Juij in Aptil last, Mr. Albert
was examined, and after heating his evi
dence, Ihe Grand Jury ignored the Bill.
The evidence in chief of Mr. Albeit before
Justice Eckmnn, having been intro luoed into
this paper, last week, by one of ihe Counsel)
in reply lo remarks by Ihe Sunbnry Ameri
can, in justice lo persons referred to in that
statement, we now give the following ex
tract from Mr. Albert's testimony, when
cross examined :
1 1 would not take a cent less than S3, 000
.00 damages lor the loss tho worst line Ihe
Susquehanna Company Inn run, would do
me. 1 Hal line was run at the lime fucker
was there. That is the line that runs be
tweeti my barn and house. I would make a
couple of hundred dollars dilfereuce between
thai and ihe other lino that would do tho
least injury. 1 do not kno'.v lhat I would
make any more than that, I have 90 acres
One of Hie lines would uol take away . my
hoiisu One of Ihe lines would take a corner
of my Saw Mill and spoil my yard.
I never said th it he (Packer) offered
in a bribs siid he offered me damages. I
do noi say lhat Packer offered me a bribe
Mr. Packer never attempted to bribe me lo
muke the snoscription
I would nut have taken SI 800 .00 damages
al the lime Packer was there.
"Charles Weaver never offered me anv
money. He nevet told mo that any person
woii'd give mc money.
,;He (Weiser) did not say-thn terms I
should havo il (the money) on. He did not
aiy that 1 should havo my own time to pay
it in. 1 never lidd any body he offered me
money, lb did not tell me to call on him
It miijht be lhat Weier
told me lhat if I was in favor, I should sub
suube, but that I should not take any mo
ney." Upon Ihe testimony of such a witness it
would rcqniie a remarkable jury to Mud a
tiue bill. Danville Intelligencer.
Since reading the above we have exam
ined Ihe evidence of Commissioner Albert,
and find that the foregoing does not em
brace his entire cross-examination. In
addition to what is given above, he stated
as follows :
"Weaver nnd I (Albert,) talked about the
ma,' tor. He said ho lhU!lil il would he an
advantage lo the w hole county.
Packer told me thai if the Railroad Company
and I could not agree, that the damaues
would be settled by a jury appointed by ihe
ceurt.
We fully concur will) the Intelligencer,
in the conclusion to which it has arrived
from the testimony of Mr. Albert, himself,
that "upon such evidence it would require
a remnrhitblc jury to find a true bill," and
will further add, that as this is the evidence
on which the prosecution relies, it is ob
vious that some object other than the at
tainment of public justice, lies at the bot
tom ol tilis movement.

For the Sunbury Amrrk-s:-,
Mr. M;SEn: It is my wish, through the
columns of your paper, lo a-iy a few words lo
the fiiends'ol Teinpeiance in this county,
concerning Ihe Temperance meeting held mi
Ihe 4ih ol July in Norlhumbeiland, and Ihe
action llieie determined upon as consistent
wilh Iheir duties as citizens, iinu as mosl
conducive lu Ihe cause advocated.
In the first place, il 1 understood the views
ol those present, Ihey liaU no uesne toiunii a
seperate party organization, distinct Irom tho
two areat political parlies 01 1110 uay ; jjiuvi
ded, either of ihem would put in nomination
a candidate who would give Ihem a reasona
ble assurance, lhat if elected, lo ihe legisla
ture he would vole in favor ol submitting the
question of licensing Ihe syle ol intoxicating
drinks to a direct vote ol ihe people ol llns
commonwealth. If this object could nol be
secured in this way, neither of Ihe parties
lesnectini! llieir wishes in this matter, men 11
was their uiivileue and duly to present such
uu individual for ihe suffrages of Tempi mice
men. as Ihev could suinorl, and nol violate
their piof'essed principles. And judging Irom
the public expression of moil from dilieieul
parts of the county then ami there made, it
mattered not the turniniiof a straw, w hether
the candidate wasn Democrat, or a Whig,
R.iilioad or Au'.i Railioad, B ink or Anil Hank
Tho only question Ihey wished lo nk, the
only point Ihey cared lo Know, nuu mc iiunj,
which should determine llieir vote was
would ho give his support to the pas-age of
a law leavina this nnestion lor decision in
the hands of tho sovreiun peoiile. In all
sincerity il was repeatedly hep' d ihey miyhl
not be diiven lo a seperate nrenuizalior. to
carry their measuies; but if ihis course
were forced upon their, they pledged their
honors as men lo stand bv and delerul lo tne
lit-t their principles.
2nd. That tho expressed tt ishes of this
meetini! might be fully cariiej out, the Coun
ty Committee were authorized lo appoint
committees of three in each township and
boiou jh lo s-.'e that a lime and 1 1 ice w as se
lected for holdini; an election to cl oe dele
nates to moot in Sunbury nrflhe 1st Monday
of Auansl, for tho purpose of nominatin-i 11
candidate, or to nliend 10 Ihe general inter
ests of the cause in their respective districts
And in this movement, il is their desire lo
secure iho hearty co-operation ol t very man
oppressed wi'h the. taxes which limn creates
and pi-ip inales, of every friend of soloiety
of order, of decency an I of religion of ev
rv pa rem .vnn "es Ule itangeis 10 wnien ins
children aro daily exposed, yea, of every
victim of Ihe bowl who has not the moral
power lo resist the lempta: ions w hiuli bescl
him on every side. Now, when tho advo
cates of Temp"iai;ce are making t;c;iOus
exertions throughout the stale lo h.'.ve a voice
in the next h'cri.-la'.ure, is th.; timo to bo up
and doing all iu r nr power to chrtime those
laws sanctioiiitia an evil mint- disastrous iu
its effects 111. 1:1 would be the leaallizinir of
all the hoiso-i.iei.-g, loiieiios ".ambling sa
loons an. I biothels 1:1 1 ha lai d. I. ! ns net
vigoiously and unitedly, ami neshid save
multitudes of nobie and oencrons v 11 lis from
drunkards craves, nnd onr (liildnn. and
childri n's cliildrui will iisu up an. Nail us
blessed.
But some one may prophecy failure even
lo our le.-t olioiis. To this, I would only
ep'y, we cainiol vtudij full. Should we nut
si c no a lepiesenlativcj triend'y to our cause,
we shall h - n.tK-h be'tei piepued lo cany
'h's mala r to i!i! p )! nei tear when cal
led upon to vote directly on tins qu-s-jon, ns
I for one firmly believe 9 shall have si ch a
'aw passed next init-i, u li.never we may
do. or fail to do in this county. But a much
abier pen ihan mine, (Rev. Albeit Barnes.)
has furnished a suitable reply to this objec
tion :
'Hid it may be nsl.ed still, what if we fail ;
fail iu gelling ihe law ; fail in its execution ?
I answer, iu tho words of Macbeth. ,!wo
fail." So be it. We fail now. We fail in
onr attenip's to stop the pto-jiess of intern
peiance. We fail in moral suasion. We
tail under the e.vis:ina Ijus. We fail in all
-ocieties; by all r.ppraN; by all arguments ;
by nil me'hod ol infiuenciua Ihe public
mind; by all prenchitiu and lei-luring; by
ali paienial counsel, and by nil the poilray
ing of the widc-spieitd evils of intemperance.
In nil those, thine we fail, w hile the law
pit'onios it; while the Slate legalizes it
h ilu ihe sta'utes of tho laud authmizu it-'
mil in such efforts wn must aUvtys fail just
is we would in lituishius lo'leiies, or in
elosina gaming houses lhat aie sani'limied
bylaw. But si;pposo we Jo tail. The evil
cinnol easily be wors, and wo shall have
rnado one more efforj lo remove that gieat
eurse Ihal has settled down on our land
But thero is a (!nd in heaven, and mer, in a
riahleous caue, when ihey put Iheir tiusl in
hill), do nor ultimately fail."

Dear Sir. Permit me lo recommend to
ihe cilizous of Noithumberland county,
through vour mosl excellent paper, JOHN
FAUNSU OinH, as a tit peism, tr the Leg.

say unylhirg respecting his qualifications,
honesty, or veracity, as those qualities aro
well known to the community at laigo.
Were it necessary in vindication of any of
these particulars, I could nol do belter, than
lo refer lu Ihe trolhonatary's oliiee, where
he has served for a number of years, wi;h
honor lo himself anil Ihe people in general.
