connection with some in this, eipect to force
Major Dewart on the people for Congress.
COL. roRStEV ts. MAJ. DEWART.
CoL. FnaET, in an article on Schuylkill
and Northumberland politics, predicts the with
drawal or defeat of Major Dewart, in the follow-.
ing pithy paragraphs:
"The vote of Mr. Dewart, first for Lecompton.
and next for the English bribe, against his own
proclaimed convictions, and also against the wish.
es of bis constituents, have filled the district with
dissensions.
"Mr. Dewart will, of coarse go overboard, and,
if ho is not discarded, he wilt sink the ship of
which no lias been so wretched a pilot.
From the rumors we have heard, the preJic
tion of Col. Forney is likely to be verified much
sooner than he could have expected when he
wrote the above. A Mr. Hippie and a school
master of Schuylkill county, we understand were
here during the present week, as a committee, to
urge tbe Major to withdraw from the field his
course during the last session of Congress, ma'
king him obnoxious to the Free State and Tar
sentiment of the district.
The address to tho democracy of the county
which will be found in another column, signed by
a number of our soundest and most inlluenti
democrats, will doubtless do much to assist the
Sehuytkill Committee, who waited upon tbe M
jor, in accomplishing the object of their mission'
THE ATLANTIC CABLE.
Contrary to expectation, tbe Atlantic cable
which is to connect the shores of the old
world with the new, has been safely landed
on the American coast, and the communica
tion complete from continent to continent.
Asa triumph of science and enterprise, this
event is more important than any that has
been chronicled for tbs last half century.
What may be its practical effect, however,
or what success may yet await the mainten
ance of it, are problems for tbe future The
line will be under English direction entirely,
and within the absolute control of the British
government for both ends rest on British
soil. Whether the United Stales are to be
beneGted or otherwise, by tbe success of this
enterprise, is also a problem for tbe future
to solve. Our government will, no doubt, see
that another line, resting on our own soil
will be constructed.

White Su.piirn Strings, Ya., 1
August 7th, IHjS. I
Uttil within a few years these celebrated
springs, Known over tbe whole fashionable
if Lot the civilized world, were accessible
only by the tedious and now almost exploded
system of staging, but thanks to that mag
nificent improvement, tbe Virginia Central
railioad, exteudiug from Richmond west, this
place can now be reached by rail, excepting
thirty miles from Jackson's river to tbe
springs. Ou ednesduy, the 4th iust., I
left Sunbury in the early morning train of
the Northern Central road, aud was joined
by my travelling compauiooa, Mr. J. Sea-
sholtx, below town, aud Wm. R. Waters, of
Pottsville, at llarribburg. At the latter
pluce Mr. II. Ettele was added to onr party
I need not say that the route is the most
expeditions and the most pleasant in the
Stute. The easy grades of the road and tbe
beautiful aceuery along the Susquehanna
excite the admiration of all who travel over
this line.
From JIarrisburg to Baltimore, where we
arrived at 1 o'clock, the roue is, perhaps,
somewhat more tedious, on account of tbe
numerous stopping places. I was pleased to
lee tbe cars well filled and that the traveling
portion of the community were speedily learn
ing to appreciate this as not only the shortest,
but the beat route between the north and the
south. After remaining several hours in the
tnouaniental city, whose interests are now to
closely connected with our own, we procured
through tickets to Slauulon, Virginia, 194
miles ficm L'liltioitie, for wbitb wa paid
or about 4J cents per mile, which is SO per
cent, more than Is charged in Pennsylvania.
At ft P. M. we loft Baltimore and proceeded
as fur as Washington that day, taking the
steamer next morning for Alexandria, 4 miles
op the Potomac. From tbis point a now
and substantial road lias been constructed(
attending to Uordonsville, 88 miles, where it
intersects tbe great Virginia Central road,
6 miles from Richmond. The country be
tween Alexandria and the Rappahannock, a
distance of SI miles, indicates anything but a
high degree of cultivation. Tbe corn crop,
with very few exceptions, is very thin and
engro. This, however, is tbo case nearly
11 through western Virginia, on account of
tho drouth ; and what was new to me, Jhe
oats crop has been, in some places, entirely
estroyed by rutt. At (Jordonsville we took
the cars of the Virginia Central road, and
I miles through a fin agricultural country
rought na to Charlottesville, a handsome
town, containing about 3,f00 inhabjants.
About ono mile west of the town is located
tbe University of V irginia, established mainly
tbrongh the influence of Mr. Jcfletson, tbo
reat apostle of Democracy, who took great
nterest in this institution to tbe close of bis
ife. Could that eminent statesman rise from
the crave, and behold the perversion of those
principles he so dearly cherished, by some of
our leading politicians, who profess to be his
followers, he would not fail to rebuke tho
demagogucism by which men are raised to
posts of honor and profit, who, if tried with
tho test originated by him, namely. "Is he
honest, is ho capable!'' would sink so low
that tho hand of resurrection would never
reach them. The main building of the Uni
versity is surmounted with a handsomo dome,
and the numerous other buildings for the
stuJcnts and others, surrounded with numer
ous shade trees, lends to it an air of coin Tort
and neatness most refreshing, especially du
ring the heat of the summer solstice.
About a mile cact of Charlottsvillo there is an
eminence, of some two or three hundred feet
in height, rising almost like a dome, which
upon inquiry, was riointed out to ns, by a
lull, muscular geutleman, about CO years of
ago, plain and nnasenming in n:s inanuers
and dress, who hud taken bis seat noar us, us
"Monticello," the home of Jefferson, and
almost aa sacred in the eyes of Americans as
"Mount Vernon," the home of Washington.
n reply to our inquiry whether any of the
descendants of Jefferson wore now in posses
sion, he replied that it was owned aud occu.
pied by au officer of the Navy, that Mr. Jef
ferson had speiit bis whole estate in tho
servico of bis country, and that his descend
ants were not able to purcliaso and occupy
the home of their immortal ancestor. He
then stated that he, himself, might have pur
chased the property, which, with its fine
scenery and refreshing breezes was one or
the most delightful spots in Virginia, but
had not sufficient means to occupy it as lie
Bhould like, in entertaining the numerons vis
itors attracted thither, and added that he
was Mr. Randolph, the eldest grandson nnd
executor of Mr. Jefferson. In passing an
old mill near the road, Mr. Randolph re
marked, "There is the mill about which a
story had been got up, saying that after Mr.
Jefferson bad built it, he could not get the
water to it," which he stated was not correct,
as it bad been ruuning many years. I re
marked that I was pleased to see tbe charac
ter of Mr. Jefferson vindicated in regard to
his infidelity, by Mr. Raudall, in bis luto life
of Jefferson. He remarked that Mr. Ran
dall's book delineated tbe character and life
of Mr. Jefferson more truly and correctly
than any other work published, and that Mr-
Jefferson always had a deep veneration for
the christian religion, and manifested a great
regard for the principles it taoght.
About 20 miles west of Charlottesville we
found the speed of the cngiue wa9 growing
less acd less, on account of the ascending
grade, wbieh continued for ten or twelve
miles as wo neared tho approaches of the
famous Blue Ridge Tunnel. There are scv
oral small tunnels on each side, before the
large tunnel is reached, which perforates the
mouutain probably 400 or SOU feet below its
summit. The approaches to the tunnel ex
hibil a series of the heaviest embankmeuts
and deep cuts that I have ever seen. This
tunnel is over 4,000 feet long, and was only
fiuished about a year since, and was eight
years ia building. It was constructed by tbe
State of Virginia at an expense of, perhaps
a million and a half of dollars. The mono
tains here interlock each other in broken
order, and tbe scenery is bold and graud be
yond description. Rvfore the completion of
the tunnel the track was laid over the moon
tain, with grades of 300 feet to the mile.
Once through the uiouutain, yon enter into
western Virginia. A few miles west of the
tunnel brought us to Staunton, ono of the
oldest and largest of the towns in that part
of tho State. The popalatiun is about 3,500,
The town contains several handsome public
institutions the State Lunatic Asylum, and
the Asylum for the blind aud the deaf, but
shows no outward signs of prosperity. The
road is completed from Staunton, G3 miles
wes'. t" Jackson's river, a station almct iu
a wilderness From that point JO miles to
Covington, the western terminus, the rood is
not yet completed. Here, the passengers
for Covrnglon aud the springs, were trans
ferred iuto fourteen stage coaches, with such
pile of baggage iu tho boot and on the top(
as would have shocked our forefathers with
their unpretending equipages and luggage.
But then tbe springs were visited principally
for health, now for recreation, fun, frolic, and
conquest, and tbe display of hoops and crino
line. It took over an hour before the ladies
and baggage were stowed away. In the
coach in which I was seated, was a delicate
but sprightly youug married lady from tbe
south, with hor bubaud. She was tbe ouly
lady in the coach, and occupied tbe middle
scat in front of myself. Tbe space was small
and our nether limbs were necessarily inter
locked. She found it, as least, a "tight
place," for ber crinoline and hoops, and bad
do alternative but to raise them and place
them into my lap. Io doing to she laugh
ingly apologised for thus enveloping me in
ber wardrobe. I assured berof course, that it
was no annoyance, whatever, to me, and hoped
ber position was rendered more comfortable.
Night bad already get in, and as we were
wiodiug our way along the narrows, the
heavens were suddenly overcast with dark
eloudi. The thunders is e&ocd throujh the
mountains, when suddenly a Dash and a crash
occurred at, almost, the same Instant, which
threw tbe horses suddenly back, and cam so
near turning the coach down the bank that
all sprung Instinctively to the upper side of
the coach. A large tree bad fallen from the
side of the mountain over tba road, about
ten feet In front of oar team, and barely mis
sing the coach ahead of ours. Fortunately
we were near one of the few houses on the
road, and with an axe in tbe hands of Mr-
Waters, onr party soon removed the main
trunk out of tbe road, while the drivers be
hind were quietly waiting until we had opened
the track.
It was nearly 11 o'clock When we reached
Covington. We stopped at the stage house,
and if we were rejoiced on arriving there we
were doubly so on our departure next morn
ing for the Springs. '
Covington is a place of abont 400 inhabl
tants, situatod on a handsome plateau among
the mountains, twenty one miles from tbe
"White f ulphur Springs." The Covington
and Ohio Railroad, which is an extension of
the Virginia Central, passes close by the
Springs and will extend about 120 miles to
the Ohio river. Our party passed over the line
in view of the letting at Covington on the 9th.
The work ou tbe line is of a stupendous char
acter. There are five tunnels between Cov.
ington nnd the Springs, one of which is 3G00
feet long and will cost $000,000. One of the
bridges will be constructed on stone piers 1C0
feet high, with 20 feet of trestle work on top.
There is another 130 feet high and others of
less height. The character of the mountains
is not unlike that between Sunbury and Potts
ville, though tho ranges are more broken and

There were about 1,400 persons there, visi

of a largo area of level grouud, sufficient for
the building of a large town. The buildings
at the springs are mostly small cottages,

about five acres. Iu the centre is the splen

AN ADDRESS

Fixlow Citizens
The undersigned, mem
bers of tbe Standing Committee, appointed
by the Democratic County Convention, held
in Sunbury on tbe 16th of August, 185G
deem it their duty, under tbe authority then
vested in them, to address briefly tbe demo
cracy of Northumberland County in regard
to the nomination of a candidate for Congress
and to take such steps as may be necessary
for the well-being of tbo party.
The democratic party of tbis Congrefsion
al district, composed of the counties of Nor
tbutnberluud aud Schuylkill, is, undeniably
io a deplorable state of disorganization, if not
badly demoralized ; so much so, indeed, that
defeat, at the coining election, is inevitable
ouless the musses of the party those who do
the work in all trying emergencies come to
the rescue, and set aside tbe camp-followers
who have been for years past, and are still
exerting a bad influence upon our organize.
lion.
It is onr duty, as representatives of the
party, to truce out the cause of this condition
of tbiogs, aud then, if it be possible, to sug.
geat such remedies as may be likely to extri
cate us from the difficulties we are laboring.
under,
Your committee think, after a hasty glanca
at the past, that the crisis upon us, as a pai
ty, is mainly attributable to the inordinate
ambition of a few bold designing men, whose
love of place aud power lead them to tbe
adoption of the most disreputable means io
carrying out their selfish schemes. A bare re.
furence to fuels will establish what we here al
lege.
Tba aspirant, in this county, Wm. L
Dewart for Congressional honors, has been
time and again, before the people frr office;
and whenever tbe delegates, before whom bis
name has leeo placed for consideration, have
deemed it nnadvisable to put bim in nomina
tion, be has invariably attempted to create
discord and dissension in our ranks. Without
taking notice of the pretensions he made in
this county for the State Legislature years
ago, and of bis obstinate persistence as a can
didata for Congress when tbis ceunty formed
part of tbe old 13th Congressional district,
. . I ... , .

His conduct at tbe Congressional Conference
In this district, to 181)4, is still fresh in the
minds of tbe de-nocraey. fie broke op that
conference without a nomination, after every
reasonable overture bad been made to com
promise Bpoo a Dew man. He ran, It Will be
recollected, as a jrolunteor candidate, and
thereby cansed the election of Campbell, the
opposition candidate. He has thus, it wll'
be seen, In his own person, several time!
brought upon the party disastrous defeats.
Hut this is not all. He, with his aiders
and abettors, have so completely removed
the old Democratic landmarks, and changed
the delegate system of the county, as to pre
vent a fair and honest expression of senti
ment; to smother the spirit of democracy,
and disfranthise hundreds of democrats bet
ter than himself.
The appoiutment of the delegates from Ibe
different townships, by a few leaders in Son
bury, cannot be regarded in any other ligh1
than as a gross usurpation of power, a direct
reflection upon the ability of tho people lose
lect their own, nnd an insulting dictation,
which none but tytants eould assume non9
but slaves submit to
The practical working of the system is
that a fuU ticket is made out by the wire-pul
lers at Sunbury ; the next step, one in oppo
sltion to every principle of democracy, is to
appoint for the people, instead of permitting
tbe peoplo select for themselves, delegates to
the democratic (?) Convention. These dele
gates or agents, selected with a view to their
ability to carry out tbe object of their ap.
pointment, hold the elections, receive SUCh

the appointment, the mere forms ofaconven-
tion are gone through ; the commiMton is ex

PeoPle- hJ the Sunbary JuntS' Bre Prefeoted
to them as the regular democratic nominees.
Employing tbis cenvenient machinery to his
own porposes, conferees are readily made to
order, and gentlemen arealw.v, selected who
"uu 6"""" u .
will. new yield Mr. Dcwarfs pretensions,
aud will not be induced to vote, under any
circumstances, for any other candidate, taus
turning the conference into a mere exhibition
of the utter disregard with which one man
can treat the principles, the harmony, and
tho success of the democratic party when they
come in contact with the gratification of bis
own misdirected ambition.
In view of this position of affairs, knowing that
our brother democrats of Schuylkill county ex
pect us to bring forward (what it is equally our
interest to secure,) a candidate of unqueation
able soundness upon the Tariff question, and
believing; that they will not vote lor any but a
man ef experience and ability, we cannot, at tliia
late period in the campaign, see any better ccurae
to be pursued for the preservation of the harmony,
the success of the principles of the great demo
cratic party, and the advancement of tbe interests
of this diatrict, than to nominate three intelligent,
reliuble and firm tariff democrats, whj will be
ruled by no cabal, will be above the dictation of
anv clique, with no ulterior purposes to serve
and will agree to no measures but such as will
have a tendency Io secure the integrity and as
cendancy of the party. In tbia spirit, and actu

I hare been induced by those who wish me
success, to make tbia public announcement of
my intention to stand as a candidate for Con
gress. 1 do it reluctaatly, because 1 bare al
ways believed, that a post of so much respoosi
bility should seek the man, and not rict versa.
Jul so generally is this sound rule disregard
ed in modern times, that the man who ad
beres to it, is very apt to become tbe victim
of his own modesty.
1 put forth no claims to the nomination
but a life-long devotion to the principles you
entertaio. I have ever been in lavor oi main
taioiog inviolate 'the purity of the ballot
box," as the great bulwark of constitutional
liberty, the uncompromising advocate of
Protection to American Industry, and as bit
terly opposed to forcing by bribes and bayo
neta. a slave constitution upon a free people.
If these principles entitle me to vour support.
von will be safe in rendering it. Should 1
