'1' 1 Sunburn; American, K. WILVtRT. I ". SUNBURY, APRIL 20, 1873. The papers are publishing that Frank Bluir has Rone to Clifton Springs, for his health. The idea of Frank going to a tea. tf ring place is good. There is a war going on between the Dutch Government nnd the Atchccnese, in which some severe fighting at Atcheen bits recently taken plncc. They nre going to have a zoologicul gar der in the Fhiladelphis Fairraount Fark, which is a good use to put part of the grounds to. Somo curions zoological specimens tuny at times bo witnessed there now.

His proposition to buy off opposition to his back-pay grab to three cents a head, has truly showu the character of tho man. Three-cent Ren Butler will livo nucnvlably in that history which is now being made for him. Wk notice several aspirauts in tho De mocratic party, who aro strongly infected with the odor of tho lute Court House Ring, are annouueing themselves for nomi nation for county i.flices, and commenc ed to sound their constituent in the dif ferent townslrips to ascertain their chances. It is rather a hnzardous undertaking on their part, sinco the people see tke vast im provements made ID the county offices since the Ring is broke up. Rebel Massacre.--The oStrngcs upon the freed men at the town ofColfax, in Grant Parish, Louisiana, on tho 13th inst, were of a most atrocious character. The blood thirsty massacre is the most horrible that has occurred sinco the close of tho civil war. The occutrcucc arose from hostile opposi tion of the old rebel element of the State, ngiiiuet tho present established government of the State, and the refusal to pay taxes. This gave rise to bad feeling between the whites and the colored population, a por tion of which had been organized to enforce the collection of taxes in that parish or county. The white rebels determined to crush them, and for that purpose organized nu armed force and mnrched into the town. Tho colored force there was driven into the court-houso and was summoned to surren der, which they agreed to do, but in order to expedite the court-house was fired, and those not burnt up or suffocated inside were shot down as they attempted to leave the burning building. It is also slated tfow'n,Ttor surrendering. Tho blacks numbered some three or four hundred, the whiles half the number, tho formerly most ly unarmed ; and to show how murderous I he onslaught was, only one white man was killed and three or (our wounded. The ex act numb-- " 0lftL'K9 Miieu is not known, v it is set down at one hundred and fifty to two hundred. Indeed it is stated that between tico und three hundred were rousted to death, besides those shot as they tried to save their lives in fleeing from the dames ! The telegram from Attorney-General of the State says that the mob that massa cred the negro garrison at Colfax court house during tho recent Louisiana riot aro as bad as the niodoc- murderers. The shooting down of conquered men flying from a burning building, and the butchery of surrendered prisoners, are savage in the slightest degree. Tho Modoc murderers were no worso than these atrocious wretches, and they ought to be treated to the same punishment. The General Gov ernment did not interfere, because the State government did uot ask for assistance, but seut an armed force of police to the scene as soon as possible; when the assas sins had lied. There is only ono way of dealing with these Ku-klux outlaws, and that is by arresting every one known to be engaged in the massacre, and trying them for m ut dor. A Sad Scene. The llarrisburg State Journal of Monday says : When tho emigrant train from the East arrived yesterday morning, nbout 8 o'clock, a young Prussian woman named Brahle was found among tlio passengers, having in her arms a dead child a little girl aged about two years. Wlieu tho tact became known, a crowd gathered around the mo ther, who was strickuu with grief, and veepiug biltctlv. She was advised to stop here and bury Iier little girl, to which ar rangement blio consented. She stated that the child had been sick since tho niirtv landed at Castle Garden, X. Y., and that it died about half an hour before the train reached llarriiiburg. One of the generous-hearted workmen nt the depot repaired to a store on Market slrect and procured tle necessary articles for a shroud, clean stockings, etc., and obtained for the woman thread, needles, etc., with which she made a ueat shroud stitching away over her tears all morning in one of the cars where she sat. Coroner Porter was notified, and furnished a plain but substantial colli n, in which the child whs placed, and, accompanied by tho mo ther, was taken to the nlmshouso for burial yesterday nflernoou. She wept bitterly at parting, but was willing to leaving it in tho hands of strangers for Christian burial, as It was nocessary for her to follow her friends, whom she expects to overtake sometime to-day west of Pittsburg. Five hundred dollars reward is offered for the apprehension of Henry Briceland, the colored man under sentence of death who recently escaped, with other prisoners, from the Washington, Pa., jail.

In a recent letter of Henry Ward Bcechrr said i Ho who to-day sits in the editorial chair, sits sccoud to uone. In nil the world of in tlucnco it Is for him to discriminate between right nnd wrong, nnd to bo always on the right sido of truth nnd justice, and purity and manliness. And if tho editorial chair co-operato with all good men in the great professions nnd trades in the land ; if we take hold of hands for a better sentiment and for a noble purity, we shall raise the standard of character for young men so that we shall be proud of their honor, And their honor shall bo in their truth and in their honesty. So far ns our knowledge extends, the press throughout America is faithfully en deavoring to perform its high mission. "The people havo no truer, more disinter ested or vigorous representatives than they possess in tho journalists of the land. The press is the moBt trustworthy oponent of popular rights, and iu the hour of tho coun try's shame tho people turn with increased confidence to tho journalists who defends their interests nnd denounces theii wrongs." We candidly believe that if It were not for fear of the press the corruption which develops itself in so many official places would be tenfold greater, aud show itself with more elTrontry. But the whole some influence of tha press is a barrier of official crime nnd political corruption, and ns the peoplo como to understand the re presentative they will increase their own safety by eularging his powers. When the American press becomes what it is fust becoming the undaunted nnta gonizer of wrong in every shape the American government will emerge from the foulness which now in part surrrounds its legislative branch, nnd become the stronger by reason of the stem lessons the governing classes were now learning. The peoplo are now realizing that when the press heretofore pointed to political corrup tion the truth was uttered ; and, hereafter, when the press denounces such wrongs, influence of such denunciation will be felt in the ballotbox. To the journalists, there fore, nnd not tlio legislator will the people rely for a representative that is entirely hon est. The Memphis Appeal. The Stokm in the North-west. A despatch from St. Paul, dated April 19, says : Despatches received nt the headquarters of Dakota, from Gen. Custer, commanding tho battalion of the Seventh Cavalry at Vaukton, say that the snow-storm which hns visited that section during the last forty-eight h -uirs is the worst for years. Men and ijorjes had to abandon the camp, and tho citizens of Yankton very kindly opened their doors nud furnished shelter for the most of our command. About three hun dred horses nro sheltered in the Quarter master's storehouse, and the hall of the Territorial Legislature has beeu devoted to tho use of them. Wo have lost about 50 horses. Fears aro felt that several of the men have been lost, and frozen to death. The niou are cut oil' from their ra tions, nnd have ordered supplies from Yankton. I can give you no idea of the severity of the storm and tho sullerings of the command. Tho peoplo havo nided nobly iu our behalf. To-day instructions were sent to General Custer, from the head quarters here, ordering him to use every means for speedy replenishment of his command, together with, a requisition for new horses and muterial, and nothing will interfere with tho departure of the tronps on the contemplated survey of the North ern Fueitlc railroad, west of tho Missouri, up the Yellowstone river and the Rocky Mountains.

Tlio iron interests of Danville, as well as tho town and its inhabitants have suffered much by reasou of a strike for higher wages on the pan of the mill hands.

Intelligence re ceived by prev ious mails from the north. is not only con lirmeo, but briugs to a cli max with the entire destruction of the cap itol of Sau Salvador, nnd ruin of a popula tion of foity thousand people. The first really violent shock occurred on the 4th of March about 5 p. m., destroying many houses.

Fortunately, owiug to the alarm of the fourth such residents as has not left the city, were living in patois, or in public plazas, hence the number of lives lost though great was thereby diminshed. Ouly two buildiugs, the Hotel Del Plaque and the government palace, are left stand ing. The loss is estimated ut twelve mil lions, the aggregate loss of life and wound ed is oUO. Further reports of the earthquake at Sau Salvador state that fortunately, owing to the first shocks having frightened the greater part of the population from living iu their houses, the loss of life has not been so great as it would otherwise have Lccu Out ol a population of 40.0UU, which . . . . . the city ol 5un Salvador was said to con tain, the number reported kiiled aud wouuded varies from 00 to oOO.

Tint It h.a been such a busy one, aud a thing trip through your section inten cuing, has made the time pass with more than usual celerity. When I last w rote we were Just over the exeitemcut of the St. Patrick's day parade. The weather getierully considered .uilublo and occurring upon that day, was evidently postponed this year a full month for we've beeu having it with full veujfeunce the past week. Disasters bavo been coining thick and fast. Fo.l, the sinking ot the Atlantic upon the rocky coast near Halifax, going dowu wi'h its thou- occupants, und over otm-hulf of them fiud- lf'' itiS.r. purpose ol creeulu Irum blume those at laull, ! l,nt i,,r thu nnriMMB of fasten mr the irut uoon the proper parties, and that they may receive tbe punishment they so Justly deserve be ihey em ployees or employers, and if one or both are de monstrated to have beeu remiss, they should be tuadu suiter the most severe penalties for tbe wholesale murder their neglect has caused. bcaicely has the lull reports of the Atlantic's fate beeu received hen from our western coast comes the terrible news of General Canby uud Dr. Thomas' deaths by tho treacherous hands of the Indians lu wlio.e honor they hud trusted their lives. No doubt their crime will bo fully I atuued lor in their utter extermination, and even the most strenuous udbcreuls of the present be nign policy of the Government lu their dealings with the Indian race, will hardly find fault with the Justice, ol the edict. Still tiiat It should de monstrate the fallacy of the policy of a peaceful solution of the difficulties, I am uuable to see. They are but one tribe, aud many more have been worth recipients of our Natloual kiuduees, uud the otfouee should be visited upou tbo heads cl the guilty ouly. U is iiupcaible to eradicate tho feeling of a century of abuse in tbe space of four or even eight years, it will tsku much longer, but the success has been great, and It Is hoped will be even more so. It is sad to think of thu noble Generul tnu cut Uowu by the cow rdiy band of t worse tha assastto wUsn b had passed th touch so many peril, and might Justly liope to rest upon li fa well won liturcli the rest of his days. Tlil morning we were startled by observing a few squares nliove ns n dense smoke arls In if, and upon proceeding to the place found n candle maker's vessel of molten sperm hud ex ploded, and thrown tlio hot fluid over the met ot work Bear It, resulting to fur In the (loath of one and thn tcrriblu burning of several more, as well ns tha Injury to the property. Tho latter is not considered of much aecoiuil ns It was not much of a structure, nnd was con lined to a small space by the efforts of the firemen. . About tea days ago I had occasion to visit llarrisburg upon business with the adjutant Ge neral of the btatc. Aside from the satisfactory manner In which unr business with that gentle man was transacted, he placed ns under further obligations by showing ns his arrangement of the battle flag of the numerous Pennsylvania regiments In our lute war. The plan is admira ble and shows off the t uttered remnants to very great advantage, and the able Adjutant General deserves great credit for the able manner In which be has performed Ills duty in that respect, It being fully as well os w have always kuown bis work to be done. It Is to be hoped one so able ran be prevailed npon to retain the position be has so well Ailed for such a long term, with credit to himself and the good of the Common we t lib. We vcre greeted npon calling npon the Gover nor by his private secretary, Major Harris, but found the Governor out. 1 he Major seems to be comfortably fixed, and certainly no one more justly deserves It. I might suggest to your Monument Committee, that if I bey contemplate any public entertainment for their Fund, the Major is an able lecturer, and one earnest and heurty lu all such projects. I recently heard bis lecture on "2) Mouths a Prisoner of War," and think It would please your people. Ho is well able to portray it bring a pleasant speaker and well educated. I have no doubt I could assist them In procuring bis services, and know he would be glad to titke a hand in the eudcavor to perpetuate the memory of his fallen comrades. 1 would say to the snine committee It matters little what you devise nnd plan. Talk U cheap, aud It is only by work, by individual effort, you can do nnytblng. Get up an entertainment, as I know Sunbury has plenty of local talent for sing ing, music, Ac, and Major Norris' lecture be sides. Then let each man work. Wake up I un less you do, I fear our chlldrens' children will not live to see ynur work completed. The same is equally true of your business, and the prosper Ity of your place. If yon frown down upon strangers who are willing to embark in business enterprises and yourselves remain iule, and talk ofhous the town it Improving, Se. it will never be done. Omit! intentions ate very well, but you know 'tis said a certain place is paved with such. Action is fur be' ter. Your advantages of loca tion are such Hint from nverv part of your town should be heurd the busy hum of manufactories. I could not help thinking when I viewed the da mage that good servnut, but bad master, the riv er, had done liclow the dam, recently. How ea sily it could have been avoided had yon have had a uood furnace or two to rip-rap your river banks, aud that it would have long ago repaid your tax payers to have built one themselves.
