Are our people await of the vast Impor tance of thie work to tbit lection, end of the necessity of making tome effort to teeure the eaatern terminua at this place, which, it it understood, can be accomplithcd by liberal tubscriptiont to the atock f ' The distance from Lewiitown to Sunbury will not exceed 47 niilet, connecting the Pennsylvania and Mifflin and Center It nil Roadt with four Roada at tbtt place, vix : the Northern Central, Philadelphia & Erie, Ehamokin Valley, and (virtually) the Lacka wana & Bloomtburg. It will alto connect the altolvtely inexhavitible bed of the mot valuable iron ore in the world, adjacent to it western terminu and the entire line, with the equally inexhauttill Anthracite Coalfield eatt of 4he Sutqvehanna. The more valuable of thrse ores can only bo profitably reduced by the use of Anthracite coal and recent results have established the important and invaluable fact that the Anthracite Matt will produce the very bel quality of Iron for any purpose. Coal will alto le required, besides that for manufacturing and domcstio purposes, for burning lime for fertilizing 175,000 acres of land along the lino of road. A careful collection of statistic and esti mates from persons of reliable judgment and experience in the Iron and Coal interests of the State, leaves no doubt of the fuct, that the road, within a very few years after its completion, will transport 200,000 ton oj coal per annum, This amount of transportation alone will involve a ret profit which will more than tqual the intireit upon the entire coit of the road. But the road will have, in addition. heavy return freights of ore for Eastern Fur Daces, the immenso Agricultural products of tie rich valleys drained, to supply the non producing coal regions, a heavy passenger traffic, &c, &c. It will be a paying investment. Will not those interested in tho prosperity of tho Borough of Sunbury, the coal region, and this wholo section of country, take some interest in the matter and eubicribe liberally in aid of the undertaking t 63FThe National Debt. According to the statement of tho Secretary of the Treasury, the public debt on the 1st of No vember, it appear that about one hundred million dollar of Treasury obligations have been discharged in the third quarter of the current fiscal year, which ended with the 81st ult., or at an overage rate of twenty-five millions a month ; that nearly one hundred and ninety millions of the public indebted ness have been cancelled within a year, or at the overage monthly rate of little" short of sixteen million dollars; and that the national financial burden is now almost two hundred and six million dollars below the maximum figures, with nearly that amount on which we get rid of the interest. On tho 1st lust, the wholo debt wos 2,551,310,003, which on the 3 1st July, 1805, was $2,757,253,276. Surely no country on the face of the earth has ever presented such a spectacle as this. If we go on paying off the principal at this rate the whole will be wiped out in fifteen instead of thirty years, as was at first liber ally supposed. fcgTnE Tycooji op Japas. We learn from a dispatch by the Atlantic Cable that the war in Japan is ended, and that the re port of the death of the Tycoon is confirm ed. The war arose from the revolt of one of the numerous hereditary princes, or chief tains 200 in number it is said among whom the Japanese Empire is divided. Of these princes the Tycoon is the chief, but they are all subject to the authority of the Mikado, or supreme ruler of Japan, who is too spiritual leader of the Empire. Until within a late period it was believed that the Tycoon was the temporal head of the Em, pire, who carried on the Government in the name of the Mikado; but more accurate knowledge or his office and rank has recent ly been obtained, from which it appears that lie is but the nra. or the hereditary princes, As such, however, he enjoys very consider able powers, and is generalissimo of the Im perial army. The name of tho late Tycoon was Mmo Motto, tWA. Convention of the Superintendents or the Common Schools of tho State of . Pennsylvania is called to meet in II arris burg on the 4th day of December. Im portant changes in the School law will be proposed for the consideration of the Con vention, providing for an increase of the minimum length of tho annual school term ; the establishment of uniformity of text-book In each county the support of "county in stitutes" by. puuho appropriations; the abolishment of "provisional certificates;" the creation of "district superintendenciea ;" the increase of "district institutes," and the enlargement of the number of the branches of study required by law. tT TiiAKKsaiviKQ Day.

A Company to build this Railroad was organized on the 2d October, ult. '. The Pre sident is Mr. Abner Thompson, Treasurer E. L. Benedict, Esq., Secretary 3. A. McKee, Esq., Solicitor Joseph Alexander, Esq. - 'lue Directors are JOtepn Alexander, Thomas B. Reese, Uenry Zefbe, . Win, II. Weber, E. L. Benedict, John A. McKee, John Hayes, Jr., Moses Specht, Aaron K. Gift, John S. Smith, George Schnure and John D. Romig. The Chief Engineer, F. C. Arms, Esq., a gentleman of great experience and high re putation for ability and integrity, is now surveying an experimental line, having com menced at Lewistown on Tuesday, the 10th hint. , . -. .. i - ; '::' ; ' The main object to be attained by build- Un ,1.1. lr,,ilrr..l U nhenn and direct route oftraftioand travel between the Valleys of the Susquehanna and the Juniata ana ineir tributaries. At present no direct communi cation exists between these rich and popu lous valleys cast of Tyrone, except by country roads well nigh impassnble in the early spring and late autumn, and thus the imports and exports of the intermediate region are burdened by a wretched system ol transpor tation abandoned almost everywhere else in Pennsylvania. These two great valleys are npeedsnrv to each other : the Susquehanna abounds in lumber of the finest quality, and in anthracite and antbracitous coals, hut is deficient in iron ores, except tliefossiliferout variety, and tho unreliable carbonates of the coal measures. 1 lie Juniata it sparsely urn bered, but it exceedingly rich in fosHililurout iron ore in the per oxide of iron or hematite, and heavy seunis of the proto-enrbonate of iron, raneine from three to til teen icet in width (Rogers1 Geo. Rep't ior 1810.) The recent petfect success of the Glamor gan Furnace at Lewistown. in yielding, from a combination of these three ores, fused with Anthracite and hot blast, a mula fully equal to Scotch pig metal, demonstrates to every thoughtful mind that cheap coal is a neccs sitv for the Juniata, and cheap hematite iron ore for the Susauchanna. and that each of these noble valleys will bo the seat of vast iron manufactures. It being clear that an interchange of com moditics will benefit tho people of both valleys and the region lyina between them, we next inquire, can a direct practicable Railroad Line bo located from valley to vol ley? I answer, that one of the very bent line in Penntylvania can thus be located: From Lew istown on the Juniata, to Sclinsgrove on tho Susquehanna, 47 miles, there is not one serious natural obstacle; for directness, light grade, easy curvature, cheap cros9-tics and ballast, it is a remarkably fine lins. The maximum grade will not exceed 50 fect to the mile, and this for but a short distance; the general grade will be from 20 to 25 feet to the mile. The middle route passes jn. east from Lewistown, crossing Jack's Creek at Lilicy's Mill by a single span bridge; about two miles thence with a gentle curve it passes through a break in the ridges into the valley of Middle Creek, and descends this, with a very light grade to the Susque hanna. The North and South Lines along the flanks of Jack's and Shade Mountains ore very fine, but they are longer than the Niddle roote, and they leave the main body of cultivated land on one side of the line, while the Middle route has rich agricultural and grazing lands on either side for the greater part of its length. Reaching the Susquehanna we find a serious obstacle a wide river but I learn from very good authority that the people around the East ern terminus of the road will subscribe heavily to a bridge on the Susquehanna if it is both a Railroad and Toll bridge for ordi nary travel. Two hundred thousand dollars will build such a bruize: we must remember that if we grade the roadbed the Construc tion Bonds of the Company will then com mand a reody market, so that with a heavy local subscription, and an issue of a reason able amount of such Bonds we can build this bridge without difficulty. The bed of the river is very firm, building stone are cheap and good, and all the lumber required can be flouted to the site of the bridge. Once across the river we are in immediate connec tion with the system of Railroads that radiate irora the anthracite coal fields, and on the highway to Philadelphia and New York. iiui it may DC urged that the people or bun bury and Selinsgrove and their vicinity will not subscribe largely to the stock of this Company. Such a suggestion is a very poor compliment to the intelligence, energy and wean n oi me people ot that district. Tliey certainly understand their best interests and feel them to be identified with the building of this Railroad ; but if must unfortunately they should not aid us, we must enlist friends elsewhere by building our Roud up the SuS' quehannn to the Northumberland bridge, the abutments and piers of which are admi rable and designed for a double track bridge. A new superstructure is ail we will require to carry us into .Northumberland and con nect us direct with the Lackawana and Blnomsburg railroad. But will this railroad be a paying invest menu we nave seen that tho line is verv fine and its construction must, with proper management, be very cheap. And tins indroduces the question of the cost of working the road; although it is a premature inquiry, yet it is well to meet every objection which is honestly made. A railroad with light grade, and easy curvature, and with cheap ties aud ballast, can always bo cheaply worked. The wear and tear of machinery and rails is light, and the repair oi me roau uea is cueap. w hero grades are heavy, curves sharp, timber and ballast dear, the working of a railroad is very expensive, the strain on the machinery is very great, the m roue oi tue wheels is severe both on the wheels themselves and on the rails, and in cessant repairs to the road bed are necessarv. But even such railroads Dav when well man. aged; bow much more then when so cheaply nuiacu as will UO 100 . U, U, cheap coal is an absolute necessity for this region, both for domestic use and for manufactories. We pay now $0 00 per ton of 2000 lbs. for coal for domestic use and (5.00 for furnace use. Iteduce these respec tively to ( 5.00 and $4.00, and how power fully will the consumption be stimulated. All our coal will reach vs ly the Middle Creel Jlailroad ; tiuty mile of tramportalivn will thu le laved : in one vear after it comnhtion the price of coal will be reduced twenty fire per am., lueiramc in coal alone will yield a good revenue to the Road. The Broad Top Railroad transports very little clue except coal and that of but one variety, and in one duection, yet its bonds are above pnr. We must remember that the Middle Creek Rail road will tap the Pennsylvania Central at Mwuwwa, sua will carry Broad Top coal eastward, and will tap the Coal Railroads at Sunbury and Northumberland, and carry anthracite coal westward. With the rich est coal fluid in the world near one terminua of this road, and with the largest iron-ore field in Penntylvania near to the other ter minua it it manifest that the traffic in these minerals and in manufactured iron will be very heavy. Look, too, at the enormous price of lumber in this place ; how soon will Ibis price give way when cheap transporta tion enoourag ea competition I The lumber dealers on the Susquehanna will fill this re gion with the choicest lumber. No monopoly vf coal or lumber can tritt when the road it opened. Look at the cost of tanolng bark in Lewistown, and the cost of hauling bidet fifteen or twenty miles to country tanners and returning the leather to market Look at the cost of hauling grain, flour, pork, beef, Ac., fcc., to Lewistown, Middleburg and Selinsgrove, and flab, platter. &o.. back into I the country.

GREAT REPl'ltUCAI VICTO RIES. The elections held last week in the seve ral States heretofore named, have resulted in the most decided victorict ever achieved by a political party in favor of the Republi- - , w. i , r . cant, in oniy.liciaware ana aiaryiana nave the opponents of the Republicans been suc cessful. In the former scarcely anything else could have been expected, so confirmed has Delaware been in her secession pro clivities. In the latter the false swearing, which Reverdy Johnson declared would not be perjury, the rebels nil voted and the consequence wat natural. But everywhere else the Republican gains are of such a na ture as to show how utterly hostile the peo ple are to the President's policy and to the idea of placing the Democratic party again in power. We annex an abstract of the details in the different States voting. STATE OF NEW TORK. When the tremendous majority in the City of New York of over forty six thou sand was announced for Hoffman, the Demo cratic Johnsonite candidate for Governor of the State, the Republicans expressed great fear for the safety or fen ton, and eventually the Democrats admitted of his election by four or five thousand majority ; but at soon as the loyal counties came rushing in with their greatly increased majorities, Fenton stock rose steadily until his majority went beyond what his warmest supporters sup posed it would be. The vote is not all in yet but the majority can scarcely be below 15.000. The maiority on Congressmen in the State it over 28.000. Fenton was op posed in the city of New York by every man who kept a drinking-placc of any de scription, by every rum-drinker, by every keeper ot a gambiinc-uouse, and an sucu like. No good man need ever expect to get the vote of bucIi a population as rules that city. Notwithstanding the general result of the State is aa follows: lo congress xu Republicans, 10 Democrats and 1 indepen dent Republican are chosen ; to the Stato Senate 20 Republicans and o Democrats ; to the Assembly 85 Republicans ana li Demo crats. KEW JERSEY. The State has been handsomely carried by the Republicans, and she may be cer tainly counted on hereafter as in the grand array of loyal States. To Congress 3 Re publicans and 2 Democrats are chosen, which is a gain or 1, Rogers being properly left at home. To the benate 13 ltepubu- cans and 8 Democrats are chosen, and to the Assembly 83 Republicans and 27 Demo crats, thu assuring a Republican Senator in place of Wright, deceased. MASSACHUSETTS Massachusetts has chosen again a solid Republican delegation to Congress by an aggregate mnjority of some 75.000 1 The Senate ia unanimously Republican, and the House standing 227 Rapublicans to 0 Demo crats. MICHIGAN. This noble Northern State hat nearly doubled her Republican majority, electing every member of Congress, which is a gaiu of one. The Legislature wril bo as follows : Senate 10 Republicans and 9 Democrats; House 68 Republicans and 27 Democrats. Her majority in the State will scarcely be less than 40.000. DELAWARE. The Democrats in this pro-slavery tidden State havo elected their Member of Con press, Governor, &c, by a majority of 1388, thus, in New Castle county tue Republicans have majority of 170, ill Kent the Democrats have 028, and in Sussex 405. The Legisla ture will consist of 3 Republicans and 0 Democrats, aud the House of 0 Republicans and 15 Democrats. Maryland. Maryland hat returned to her vomit. The Democrats and rebels have carried pretty much everything. In Baltimore they have about 1000 majority. Only 1 Republican to 4 Democrats have been chosen to Con gress, a Republican lost of 2. The Legisla ture will show 8 Republicans and 10 Demo crats in the House. Thus has Swann carried the day and goes to the Uuited States Sen ate in the room of the able and gentlemanly Cresswell. One or two of the Congressional districts will, it is said, be contested. Many thousands of fraudulent votes were no doubt polled in the State. Wisconsin. The Republicans have carried this State by a rushing majority. It will reach at least 20,000, twice as much as in 1364. Congress will stand 0 Rcpublicana to 1 Democrat, same as last year. 1 he legislature counts in the Senate 22 Republicans and 11 Demo crats, and in the House 70 Republicana and au Democrats. Dooiiltle s treachery did lit tie. Mr. Howe will be returned to the U. 8, Senate. Illinois. This great State ha done wonders. Her mnjority cannot be ascertained, but it is overwhelming say 40,0001 She sends 11 Republican and 8 Democrats to Congress. the complexion of the Legislature is in keeping with this victory. Trumbull will be returned to the Senate with all the honors. Missouri. Missouri maintuint her loyalty firmly. She doet better than wat expected. She tendt 0 Republicans to 8 Democrat! to Congrett ; Ilogan, Johnson's special favorite it beaten in tue ec Liouit district, i hit it an unex pected cam. 7 he Legislature it decidedl Republican, which accuret our Senator from that State to be cboten tint winter.
