Tho high stage of water iu tho Susquc hanna river this Spring, has demonstrated n fact which wo desire to lay before thoso who may contemplate entering into husi uoss at this place. Much has been said in regard to freshets, and tho inundation of Sunhury upon such occurrences, but our late freshet has proven that Hub place is in less daugcr, in consequence of our embank ineuls, than most of other places along the river. Tho water wus within ft few feet fta high as it was in 18U", yet our-citizens felt no insecurity, and sustained no damage. There was no water iu thu town outside of Usuaturai channel, except a few places of low lauds lnylrijr em tho suburbs which were submerged by back water from the Shamokin creek, and which passed off ns the river full without doing tho least da mage. Wo state these facts so that all who are about selecting sites lor manufactures, need not fear damage from high water in tho future. This protection against high wntor gives Suubury still more nil vantages ns a manufacturing place, nnd we can safe ty say that there fire but few if any towus :iu Iho State' bMtcr adapted to.nianuftietur ' iug purposes' than Sunhury. Tho superior ' advantages in carrying on any kind of bu : sinflss la Suubury, arc no longer disputed. Locations for saw mills, furnaces, car shops and other manufacturing establishments aro numerous, nnd cannot be surpassed. Hero is the place for capitalists to invest in almost any business. Uesides, having a good localiou to build upou, we have every advantage in tho transportation of freight, a hialtc';.- Mich capitalists canuot overlook. We arc the terni'ini of five different rail- roads, malting this a shipping poiutfor five 'different rail routes to the best markets iu tho countrv. Tho inexhaustible beds of coal and liiuo iu this vicinity, as well ns beds of iron along several of tho lailroad lines, make Suubury a central point for an immense iron business. The most beauti ful basiu of water probably iu the Union fronts our town, and no place possesses su perior advantages for the lumber trade in all its branches. Tho excellent water pow er, and the fine vacant lauds, suitable for any kiud of manufacturing purposes, lay ing along tho Btreams for miles, which sur round the lovn,prescnt a larger field for the erectiou of such works than any town can give anywhere iu central Pennsylvania. In addition to thesu uJvantnces tho cap italist will find good markets, equal to al most any ot our larger inland cities. The hotel accommodations aro equal to most of tho city hotels, and iu mauy respects su perior. Our dry goods and grocery stores will be found to contain all articles found in the city markets. With such advan tages we invito capitalists to come here and takea view of the situation. Let them cast their lot among us if making money is an object, on a small or a largo amount of capital. In a moral view wo can boast of having fine church edifices, occupied by some of tho ablest ministers in the country. Our schools rank with the highest, nud are at tended by many scholars from abroad. The health of the locality compares favorably with any iu the State ; and although it has been spread abroad that Suubury is a good location tor (he sale of quinine, intimating that we were afflicted with much ague, thu records show that there has been less sick ness ot this description, and fevers gener ally, and fewer deaths iu the place for leu j'ears past, than has occurred iu any other town of the same population in tho Stale. Our citizens arc friendly iu their inter course with btrangers who aro made to fed that they are in a social comi'nu inanity. Tho hand of good fellow bhip is exleuded to all well-disposed per sons who desire to find a pleasant home. There arc no jealousies such as we have seeu in other towns, which aro calcu lated to turn away those who wish to live nud let live. Every oue is anxious to see straugirs locate among us. Wo have t-poken upon this subject years ago, and deem a reiteration of tho facts proper at the present lime, us capitalists aro every day seeking places for tho investment of their surplus menus. Let them tako a look at our towu, aud learn the advantages we pos- bCfcS. A few hints to our property holders in connection with tlio tbove inay not be out of place. Keep prices moderate', aud ns sist in creating business. Wheu the capi talis t applies for your lauds upon which to locate his business, it is better to sell It at a moderate price thau to extort, as it will en hance the valuo of your adjoining property to treble its present value. Manufactures are rou'.h needed to employ the large number of young mcu aud women who aro growing up iu our midst. Don't have your chil dren to go: elsewhere aud thereby scud your money to build up towns In thu West end other sections, w hen we have more ad Vintages at home which will enable them to mako a btt'.er living hero. Assist in im proving your own home, and they will do better hero than in auy other section. If your lands are' Uit suitable, nccompany those who want to buy to your neighbor, until hs is suited, arj. our word for it, if wealth Is desirable, your children will bless you for your wisJot. A law was enacted by tU late Legisla tion, rcgulaliifg .Aho refimug nod Bute of petroleum, the provisions of Which aro of the most stringent character", a-id will, if Uithtully adliered to by tho trade, vrevent tbo suffering of human beluga, aud l88 0f property, produced" by the explosion ot this combustible material, when iu an adulter uted condition.

Tho members of tho Repub lican State 1 Central Committee met on Thursday at two o'clock nt the Lochiel Hotel, Ilarrisburg.. A full attendance from the various couutles was present, aud after a short discussion the committuo de cided to hold the Stnto Convention on Wednesday, tho 13th day of August, in Iho city of. Ilatrisbnrg. . ' The net providing for nn dlection of a State Treasurer by the people, iu conformi ty to tho recently adopted amendment to tho constitution, was approved by Gover nor Hartranft, on Monday last. Tho first section of the act provides as follows : "Until the State Treasurer is elected nnd assumes the duties of his office according to tho provisions of this act the present iu cumbent, vptrti It in rennving hia ojjiciul bond, to be ujyiroved by the Governor, not later than tho first Monday of May next, shall have all the powers und perform' all the duties of tho Stnto Treasurer." Tho official bond of Mr. Maokey, the present Stato Treasurer, for half a million dollars 1b' to bo fllt'd and approved before Mayo. Itrockway, of Columbia, is a democrat and so is John Filler, the editor of the Ilarrisburg Patriot. Tho best of friends sometimes chance to disagree, and this is what Fillet says of Brockway : "To his other accomplishments Mr. Urockway has added that of a reckless falsifier. He lies deep down in his throat when he as&erts that," and other charges of a like calibre too numerous to mention. Concerning lion. William Elliott, the late Speaker of tho House, the I'o.triot mentions as its well formed opinion that that gentleman "as a Speaker was partial, unjust and unscrupul ous, and often wauling iu tho dignity that becomes the position." Urockwny insists that Filler was influenced by money &c, all of which is very rough, but we suppose considered Democratic. The New Militia Law passed by'the last Legislature has received the signature of Gov. Hartranft. The militia force of the State will hereafter consist of two hundred companies of fifty men each, nnd each company will be entitled to four hundred dollars'per annum from tho Stato Trea sury. The militia tax of fifty ccuts which has heretofore been Imposed upon all per sons liable 'tb military 'duty has been re pealed. Township officers W1U neglect to pub lich a full statement of He financial con dition of their townships, within sixty days after the annual spring ilSciioh.'a'ro liable to fine. Several suits have been brought by tax payers in different counties of the State, against officers for this neglect, and in each enso a tine imposed. i he law re quires similar publicity in the matter of nhool accounts, nnd makes it obligatory ; upon directors to imblish aunuallv a state ment of the receipts and expenditures of their respective school districts. If this law be Hot complied with taK-pnyors may refuse to settle their school tax. School boards throughout the country should bear this in mind, and avoid the perp'cxity that may otherwise arise.

HEATH, Commanding Department. C. S. GREENE, A. A. G. Wonderful Mechanism. A German miner living nt Excelsior. Northumberland county, has mado one of tho most wonder ful clocks ou record, nnd when it is con sidered that he never learned a trade nnd had no other tools but a pocket knife and a liftlo hammer it is surprising how ho could produce such nn intricate piece of mechanism. Iho clock is octagoinal in form about three feet in .diameter. Tho I whole is carved out or wood, the Outside, including dial plate und all, is very liucly I carved. Above thu dial Is a platform mir I rounded by a line railing, in tho middle of this stands a figure rcpreseutiug the 1 Saviour and thu figure of a rooster. When 1 the clock strikes twelve tho twelve apostles I come one after another marching out of ono door, passing ncross tho platform nnd I each one of the first eleven making a bow 1 facing lite Saviour nud then passing on to nuothrr door which they enter nnd closo i behind them. The last ono is Judas with 1 a bag of gold in ono hand. Ha passes on without dciguing to notice tho Saviour. During tho passing of the apostles, tho cock crow 8 twice and a ehimo of bell plays ; music inside. The clock shows tuc time ; of day, the days of tho week, the months of ' the year, nnd the four quarters of Iho moon. I Altogether the clock is of a most wouderful i nud beautiful construction. The time occupied iu its construction was about I throe yenrs, tho dial plate alouo taking up two mouths, being splendidly carved. It ! is now on cxhibiliou at the residence of the ; maker, who intends, wo believe, to exhibit it in nil tho principal cities and towns of i the country. Anhland LulUliit. There is a misunderstanding ns to the j law regulating tho postage ou newspapers j since tho repeal of the franking privilege.

But when the poital appropria tion bill was umlor consideration, during t lie last flays of Hie session, liunnicndmuut was made as follows : "Provided, that the laws nnd paits of laws permitting the transmission by mail of unijfnc iitaUzr wltntw r be, nud the same are hereby repealed from aud after.

L'uder this law, of course, newspaper ex changes must pay .postage at the usual rates, namely, weekly ucwspajierd five cents per quarter, nud ttaily newspaiters i thirty cents per quarter. Tho same rule nnnlies to newsoaners lireulalintt in tho counties where priuted, and there has been no reduction of postage, as some appear to suppose. A bill was passed by the llou-e making reductions iu ucwBpaper postage, but tailed iu the Senate.

A reconnoiter ing party composed of lntteries K nnd A, Fourth Artillery, and Company E, Twelfth Infantry, left camp at halt past seven this morning, proceeding in a direction known to lead to the present stmighold of the Modocs. Captain E. Tlumas, of the Fourth Artillery, being in command. A dozen or so Warm Spring Ind'nns wereex pected to co-operate on Captain Thomas' left.

The first position soon became untenable, owiug to the fact thai the Indians were able to de liver both a cross lire and an enfilading lire, and the position of the troops was so exposed that, up to the present writing, seven o'clock P. M.,only two out of the nine wounded could reach camp. Lieutenant Wright, of the Twelfth Infantry ,h:td sought shelter in a crevice, which was partially open to tho Moduc tire.

Their comrades who, from various causes uro coming into camp, show plainiy 1-y their demeanor their heartfelt sorrow. They feel for them, but are powerless in the matter. The Latest Particulars. Lava Beds, Airil "ji!. Special to tho New York Jkruht. The fm ce under Cop tain Thomas, which started to ivconuoitre the position suppoed to be held by the Modocs, numbered sixty-nine men. The object was mainly to liutl out how tho Mo docs were situated ; whether tho mortars could be brought up and used cti'ectivcly against them. As tho troops approaches the base of the lava beds, about half-past ten A. M., our cotumaud was brought to a halt and the men allowed to tako a real. Tho slory of the first fire is differently re ported, some sayinir five or six shots were fired, and others only four, but Ticknor states positively that it came from a party of nine Indians who occupied a bluff to tho eastward f where the troops were station ed. Major Thomas immediately threw his men into skirmishing order, with Lloutcu- uut Wright's company on the right. The latter however, had not got into position before they were Hanked to the right by n party of fourteen other Indiaus. The cross nro on rignt's men proven very demoralizing, nud they broke bnck iu coufusiou, leaving their gallant leader in nil exposed couditiou nnd supported by a few of pis oon-coiumissioneu otlicer.s. lu the meantime another small parly ot ludiaus hail obtained a position to the left aud opeued a rauk fire on thu two batteries of artillery. Il was a fearful trap, nud tho hrst tour shots were only nreu to uraw mo troops more directly between the fire of the Indiups ou tho right und tho left.

The Mystery of the Attack. There was a mystery about the attack that nobody appeared to solve as to how the troops were so completely surprised in camp, where there were pickets aud ad vanced skirmishers. It appeared o strange, that a party of sixty-uiuu men should be almost surrounded by ludiaus, without their bciug aware of a sign of Indians a far as they could see. Tbia fact alone mil give the public au idea of tho uaturo ot the grouud ou which our soldiers havo to contend against. Duriug the niuht the Indians were creep ing through the rocks to scalp aud strip the dead. ' Soldiers coming through Colonel Green's line told him where tho remains of BalUinea K and A were to be fouud. . Col. Greta immediately moved forward bis hue lo the pluoe ludicalsd, and there, bid in some sage brush, were tho bodies of lJajbr Thomas, Lieutenant Howe, Acting surgeon Sims', Sergeant Rower And iiz other. Lieutenant Wright's body lay a littlo to the left, aud on tho right was Lieutenant Harris, severely wounded, and the bodirs of five of his men, stripped of all tho cloth ing. Forty-nine were killed aud wounded out of a command of sixty-nine man. Washington, April 2ft. Tho intelli gence from tho Modoc' war excites much interest, especially in nrmy circles. Cap tain Thomas, reported'among tho killed, was a bod of General Lorenzo Thomas, for merly hdjutant general of the army.

Al ter having boeu tho recipients of tho b.ouu ty of the Gcrmautown lad its who provided tho feast, as iu tho old times of the refresh ment saloons, we had gpeeches, Bongs aud comic recitations until a late hour when our spocial train, waitiug for us, lull for the ci ty In fhe- "wee small" hours of tho night, well satisfied that . it was well for us to havo been there. Among all Ihe speeches none of them had a truer, heartier ring thau that of our gallant comrade, the Gov ernor of tho State. He said in substance, that it was an association near aud dear to him. That, having drifted into politics upon his return from the war, he had not taken as active a part as ho might hare done, aud had been contented to be a pri vate in lbo order, fearing had he douo oth erwise bo might compromise it, believing it to bo, as it wus, above and greater thau politics, and entirely out of it; aud that he could not imagine any reason why any ho norably discharged soldier or sailor slnuld bo outside of the fold. At last our great thoroughfare, Broad street, is to be repaved. For some years back, since the removal of ihe tracks, it has remained with ruts aud bolus caused by the removal. Now it la to have a pavement of Belgian blocks which already being hauled upon the ground. Market street is also to bo paveu with the samo. About a woek ago the Market street cars commenced runuiug arouud tbo public buildiugs, and now Market, bctwoeu Mer rick and Juuiper, is no ltigcr used except by tho Pennsylvania Railroad, who will conliuuu to use it. probably till uext spring, wheu their freight depet will be re moved to west of 15th street. The work upon the public buildiugs progresses very Blowly. The Masonic Temple is recciviug its finishing touches, a pavement of slate being luid arouad it, aud an lrou railing of an ornameutal pattern being put up to eu- ClOMlt.
