The loss of the car company at Harris burg by fire on Friday of last week says the Telegraph, is estimated at $200,000 on which there is, an insitrance of $129;- 000. The Trcasurer of the company, Mr. W. T.

Ds..The London Telegraph says that concessions on the part of England in the Alabama claims has reached its utmost limit, and that no English Ministry would dream of surrenderibg the ground now ta 'ken up and made known to the United States Government. As an offset to. the . opinion of the boasting Englishman a ru mor comes from Washington that the Cab inet was in session on Saturday and a con= elusion reached that the United States ran not, under any circumstances, withdraw or modify-its demands as presented at Ge neva.

A BRAVB DEED.—On the 9th ult., a little child was seated upon the T. and C. railroad track, near Enterprise, uncon scious playing with the pebbles between the tics, when an upward bound freight . train came round a curve close upon the child, which did not realize its danger; and continued to play in the face of a hor rible death. The engineer sounded his Whistle, but with no effect ; the train.was too near the infant to be stopped before reaching it, and its death seemed inevita ble.

These will, should the season continue favorable no doubt yield bountifully. There are other fields however which continue to present a backward appearance. and under no cir cuMstances will perhaps yield over the fourth of a crop. In some instances this state of the crops is attributed to the rav ages of the fly and in others to the severi ty of the past winter. H. & P. R. R,—The Directors of the Harrisburg & Potomac R.

CommirrEE.-.---It was for. eign to our intention in last week's ref erence to' the R. - R. Committee's 'doings to particularly outrage. the feelings of any one. But ;this, notwithstanding seems to be the case in one instance at least.— One member of that respectable body of gentlemen, twelve number, has charg ed us with falsehood, -misrepresentation, &c. The balance, we infer, though they may diSSent:from our.views, are willing to tolerate the right of free speech in ref erence to railroad connections at least.— We was aware that the proposed Mon terey or long line had shared the fate of the South Mountain movement, came to its death from natural consequences:— We therefore took it for granted that an bone of contention was deemed ne cessary; and hence the "hinted .at" respondence and proposed connection with the Cum. Valley Rail Road and conse quent cold shoulder to charter, surveys and W. M. • connection. Convinced that the Public interests and a large majority of the subscribers to "a railroad," demand ed a W. M. and not a C. V. connection, we wrote the "obnoxious local." Having volunteered the remarks from honest con victions of what was tho'ght right we have nothing to recall. Since our connection with newspaper publishing we have nev er yielded the right of a free expression of our opinion in reference to any public lic enterprise, nor do we propose to do so now or hereafter for the gratification of anv man or combination of men. We intimated that there had been too much hob robbing betweenproposed lines d-connections F and-are-willing-that-th public shall judge whether we do or do not misrepresent the truth in this partic ular, or any other charge of like import. • I heth-erwe=publish-tin—qenligh • - press" or not, we have the consolation:to know that many persons who may be re garded as possessing some degree of Intel= ligenee fully coincide with our views upon this "vexed question." A word as to our preference between between connections. The:one will :OW the farming community much the cheap eat and most natural outlet for all their prochcts, and at the same time thilee fold enhance the business interests of the town by concentmting , a vast amouLt of trade, including-that-of-a—large-and—popu ions portion of our county, which would of course be lost in part if not altogether by aC. V. connection. A dollar or more saved on the price of a ton of coal would be trifling consideration . compared with the greater advantages which the other must afford. It is therefore plain to our mind that any other branch connection than one with the IV. M. R. R. must serve to " enhance the interests of other communities at the expense of our own. If we have a duty to perform it is to pro mote as far a possible the prosperity of our town and neighborhood, and hence our interest in a IV. M. connection.

THE WATNE:snorto' 13nAxcu.-- 7 -We re gret exceedingly that some action has not been taken by the business men of Baltimore towards securing the immedi ate construction of theiWaynesboro Branch Bitilroad. We regard the -trade of 'the southwestern section of Franklin county as too rich a prize to be lost by hesitation and delay. When the subject was dis cussed two months ago we repeatedly call- - ed attention 'to the advantages to be se cured by the building of this branch, and at one time it seemed as if the project was to assume definite shape ; but after one or. two favorable .reports from the Corn and Flour_Exc.hange_the_subject_ was laid on the shelf, and we have not heard it mentioned for some -weeks. . A survey .has been made of the pro posed route, and it is folio& that the , branch will be six and a-quarter miles in length, and according to the eltimates of the engineer, the cost of building it will be About $150,000. The citizens of Way oeshoro' and vicinity have engaged to raise the one-half of that sum on, condi tion that Baltimore undertakes to furnish the other half. They,' also submit certain facts and argoments, in proof of their as sertion that the road will inevitably pay fair dividends from the first year of its completion. Perhaps they are too san guine in this—but whether they are or not, we tfittk that an enlightened self-in terest should . prompt the merchants of Baltimore to forthwith subscribe for the requisite amount of stock. Whether it pays ten per cent. or six per cent., or on ly three per cent., it will in the end be a profitable investment. If, however this money cannot be rais ed by private subscriptions we shall favor _making_another appeal to the City Coun cil. • Although as a matter of principle we are opposed to any further increase of the liabilities of the city, we shall make an exception in favor of this enterprise, ' _he,eity has invested so much in AI- Western Maryland Railroad that people are bound by every considerate of self-interest to do all they can to mr that road a paying institution. If -onstruction-oUhe will add $50,000 annually to its reveni then by all means let the city help build it. It is not too late yet to go fare the City Council with a proposif looking to the endorsement of bonds the Waynesboro' Branch Road, to the mount required, or even to an issue city stock for its benefit. It will be m ly two } . Tars before the assent of the Li islature tlja.n be secured and a vote ' thereon b thif:Mple ; but in the int ti .ime the ordinance passed .)y the Council would help to keep the enterpr afloat, and possibly the money might raised in advance. We - arTh more earnest in this nil ter because we hear that in the event a refusal-from-Baltimore-city the_pC of Waynesboro' will apply to Cum, land .Valley Railroad Company and to be put in connection with that lint Should a branch road be built to Grei castle or Marion, it will reverse whole current of trade and take to Phi, delphia all of the. products ofthat rs,gh Ult. would assist the matter any should suggest that another hundred th, sand dollars be given to the Wesi Maryland Railroad on condition that builds the Waynesboro' Branch fort with.—Baltimore American. GREAT DISCOVERY.—On May the Messrs. Thomas Riley, Isaac Warren Lewis Hach accidentally dlScovered the land of Mr. George Clever, situatet the base of the mountain,near Cleversbm Pa. on the line of the Harrisburg and P( tomac Railroad, a very valuable bed iron ore. The ste lies in the fact thl the ore is at inable at the depth of a foot from e surface of the ground. T 1 above gentlemen have been busy since t] discovery testing the extent of the ore al have already made an excavation sui cient to admit two carts, and have mast to believe that the mine is inexhixustabli Already about twenty-five tons of of have been taken out. Mr. Riley has Iv in the mining business for twenty-foi years, and pronounces the ore not only be of the first quality, but believes tl present discovery to be but one of the ml ny immense veins which .unite to form almost limitless mass of ore nearer ti mountain: Here is an opportunity for .capitali to invest their surplus funds.
