'Union' COMA for Liberty and
for Slavery. .
The Constitution of the United States
was established (says its Pri'utible) by
"the people of the United Slates," to "CS..

quility' and "secure the blessings of Ltn-
WillErselves and our posterity."—,
No hint is given in any part of it that the]

ping into another, shall, in consequence of
any law or regulation therein, be dischan.
ired from such service or labor. but shall

whom such service or labor may be due.r.
According to the laws of the English
language "no person" is to be delivered
up under this latter clause, but the imen.
lion of the framers doubtless was that
finery person so escaping and claimed ,

is the gingerly wording of the clause—
' though how it is to be proved that a man
owes another twenty years' work beceulds
he has already worked fur him twenty
years for nothing. we do not understand.
But no matter : the intent is to deprive the
man who runs away frotn working for
nothing of any legal shelter or protection
in a Free State. such as the laws of that
State would otherwise give hini. The
framers of the Constitution evidently felt
that the act that they intended in provide
for would look ugly in plain words, so
they rather Witted at than plainly expres-'
tied it. We make allowance for their

ips, sail Mr. glilfrid Moss, of Philadelphia ;
Mr. Carey, of Cirosinaui; Mr. Haskell, of
New York; anti others. Among ell -there
was but one sentiment of surprise and a
miration at the result; and it was belies
MI by them that thn great question, wheth
er gas. manufactured from water. can be
used for purposes of light and heat. was
satisfactorily solved by M. Gillard. Mr.
Fry writes :
“Iu the environs of Paris is a manurae
tory. Entering the premises we were
first shown a room of the Mae of an or.
dinary drawl -room. in which were sus
pended several burners. The only dif
ference in the arrangement from the ordi
nary gas burner was, that round each
lamp-flame was placed a plantinum wick,
about an Inch and a half in length and a
bout an inch or so diareaTer. The
flame itself was blue and dullish, but by
the insertion of the plantinum net-work,
(which is round and open at the top,) the
plantinum became speedily luminous • and
ell the burners together cast such a light
that the tints of blue and green on paper.
which are coromuled ordinarily at night,
could be distinguished, and the delicate
shade of a light straw color adequately
discriminated." Whether the platinum is
prepared iti any special way was not said :
but the net-work is exceedingly light, and,
01 course, inexpensive.
•Upon a shelf was a -stove shout eieh.
teen inches high,.and five across. to winch
was attached a gas pipe. This stove
could be carried about, and the small leath.
er pipe connected with the main, pipe et.
niched to it. The stove requires 110
ney..for the gas being made free from
smoke or color. it can born in any room.
•Iwthe-eliiritney-place there were a num•
her of jots of the gas. which gave out a
_strong, heat. capable of being regulated by
simply turning them on or otf,as required.
le an *adjoining room was a gas-heater.
where no flame was perceptible, the hear
being conducted from beneath. In the
kitchen was the gat-metre ; and there in
kitchen range or oven were placed the dd•
ferent utensils over gas flames, whose in
tensity would be , regulated by turning of
or on the gas in the required quantities.—
The gas pipe of leather was then applied
to the hollow handle of a gridiron, each bar
of which was perforated at equal distances
with holes the size of a pin's point. By
a turn of the hand the gridiron • presented
a magical appearance ; it flamed up with
blue lights, and over them were placed
some mutton-chops, which were expedi
tiously cooked.
"While this was going on, water was
being heated by the gas, and the company
was treated to some hot punch. In jus
tice to the gridiron, it must he mentioned,
that it can be turned on its side, and thus'
presenting a perpendicular front, it can be

. "The parlor and kitchen experiments
being *tier. we adjourned some one hum.
deed feet to the gas fernery. Here we saw
how it could be manufactured' on a grand
scale by a company. A brick furnace of
about twelve feet square contained the re

for the manufacture•of this - new agent.—
The inventor told me the expense ahem

pense was, ire guidon. six •to twentrsis in
favor of the cheapness of the water gasov

"As a heating agent its powers were
fully tested. A room was heated •by the
gas in a very short time.
Theheat was of the most agreeable kind ;
the combination with oxygen producing
water, and preventing that dryness which
'always accompanies our furnaces. In
this point of view, it presents immense ad
vantages on the score of health and emu-
Theordinary, dry heat of anthra
cite is obviated. By putting a china plate
over the dame I could detect moisture,
and the accretion was•palpable."
As to . the means of the 'preparttion of
the gas :—"A. number of methods have
been suggested by chemistry, most of them
from the 'decomposition of water ; but all
of them have been heretofore regarded
rather as class experiments. more interest- i
ing as to theory than capable Of a practi-1
cal application. Mr. Gillard, by a simple,
and cheap method, makes pure hydrogen. ; ,
Steam is passed into an air-tight iron re- 1
tort, exactly like those in gas establish
ments ; the bottom of die retort covered'
With a layer of charcoal to the depth of an
inch or so ; the, retort is heated to a bright
red, and carbonic acid, and hydrogen are
produced. The chemical action is simple ;
the oxygen of the water combining with
the charcoal, forming 'carbonic acid, and
passing with die hydrogen into a chamber
containing lime. Here the carbonic acid
combines with the lime, forming carbon
ate of lime, and the pure hydrogen being
liberated pasties off. The advantage of
of this manufacture over that of coal or oil
gas, in point of method and expense, are
too apparent to be dwelt upon.
"I have given you this account, belies..
ing it would be interesting, and I trust in
intelligible. even to to those of your read
ers who are riot acquainted witb chemis

may be found, with the exception of time

method will, I hope, be put to the test by
some of your scientific friends, so as to
satisfy themselves and convince the'public.
that it is what the intentor claims it to be."

on the 17th instant, by the New York

the anniversary of the birth of Benjamin

I should be happy to unite with you in
doing homage to the memory of that great
and good mon, but regret that my official
duties will deprive me of that pleasure.
As a Conduntor of the Press alone he
deserves to be held in grateful remem

is worthy of imitation by all who occupy '
that important station in society. The
Press like a two-edged sword which cuts
down with equal facility the flowers as
well as the thorns of life, is all powerful
for good or for evil. Virtue itself with
difficulty resists its attacks ; and under its
smiles and protection Vice may become
the popular idol of the day. Honor. then.

American Chapel at Rome.
The following are aureola from a letter
dated at Nine; December Eith, of a corn's
pondentof the:London Daily News, rela
tive to the suppression of the American

tion the service rendered to the ecclesias
tical authorities by the Charge d'Af
aires. Mr. Case, during the seige of Rome,
and the gratitude professed to him by the
inmates of the Propaganda College for
having induced the Triumviri. t 9 .0 10 *
them to remain unmolested by the repub
lican soldieiy. It was, 'in rant, owing to
the representations of Mr.. Cats that the
building was not . turned into btirricks.
The Pope. upon his restoration. ex
pressed himself in the moat flattering terms
to Mr. Cass, thanking him repeatedly for
what he. had done, and professing the
greatest affection to the American nation—
an affection which had just then been in
creased by tidings received from China,
announcing that four Roman Catholic mis
sionaries, threatened with death by the en
raged populace or faatical Inandariana,
had been rescued from impending fate by
the timely interference of the United States
Consul.
Ilia holiness, desirous of giving some
proof of his gratitude, thought he could af
ford no stronger one than that of granting
Mr. Cass permission to open a Protestant
chapel within the walls of Rome. for the
use of American visitors, a plan which had
been in contemplation for some time and
for the realization of which, a conscien
tious and zealous clergyman, the Rev. Mr.
Hastings, came hither from the United
States somewhat more than a year ago.
Notwithstanding the Pope's express
permission, so many hindrances arose that
the Chapel could not be opened lest win
ter, and Mr. Hastings convoked his coun
trymen in his own apartments every Sun
day morning, and conducted Divine ser
vice 'bete according to the Presbyterian
rite. During the autumn of the present
year. however, all ohjectione appeared to
be overcome ; a suitable place was hired
in the Via de Pontifici, anti fitted up as a
chapelnt an expense of about $3OO, and
Mr. Hastings, fully authorised by the gov
ernment, opened the chapel, and commen
ced Divine worship just one Month ago.
From what has subsequently taken
place, it seems that the same secret ene
mies who hail labored to prevent Mr.
Cass's plan from being carried out, re
solved to put a stop to the whole concern
as soon as possible. According,last week.
Mr. Cass received a cmninuoication from
Cardinal Antonelli, to the cifect that, in
consequence of the official complaint of
the cardinal vicar, the doctrinal decisions
of the congregations of Propaganda Fide.
and the earnest petitions of many English
and American Roman Catholic residents,
his holiness has been reluctantly obliged
to withdraw the permission which he had
granted with respect to the Aineiiican Pro
testant chapel.
It may be easily imagined that Mr.
Cass was quite taken aback by this des.
patch, especially as it was accompanied
by a mass of documents eantirmatory of
the Cardinal's statements. !and moreover
a paper, signed by most of the diplomatic
agents tit Rome, setting faith the opinion
that, even in his own h o ne, the charge
dWaires would not he entitled, accor
ding to the customary priWleges of inter
national representatives, lb hold prayer
meetings and preaehings far others than
the members of his own tinnily.
To gild the pill as much as possible his
eminence hinted that an American chapel
outside the walls of the city would not he
interfered with, or if that pile' was not
palatable, he stated that full liberty would
be granted to Mr. Cass to open his own
rooms in ae numerous a congregation of
his countryman as he thought proper, in
spite of the opinions of I►is diplomatic col
leagues on the subject. Mr, Case is to
have an interview with Cardinal Antonelli
this afternoon ; but it is not likely that he
will be able to change the determination.
The scope of Mr. Heating - a mission to
Rome is entirely defeated, as he came
here, supported by a large body of his
fellow countrymen, to preach Protestant
doctrines in a public chapel, and not to
act merely as chaplain to the American
Charge, who may be changed every year,
or oftener, if such be the will of his Gov
ernment and who may very easily be a
Catholic next time, and therefore not a
dapted to have a protestant meeting in his
house."
A NOBLE SON
'There is an endearing tenderness,' says
Washinton Irving, •in the love of a moth
er for her son, that transcends all other af
fections of the heart.' We have just heard
a touching illustration of the fact, that the
love of a son for his mother may also
transcend and swallow up all other affec
tions, at a moment, too, when he might
well be pardoned for remembering only
his own great trials. Some two years
ago. a young man, belonging to Philadel
phia. was returning by rail-road to that
city from the town of Reading. Peunsyl
vania. By an accident which happened to
the train, and while he was standing on
the platform. he was thrown off, and fell
partly under the wheels of the succeeding
car; and his right arm, 'morrow, hones
and all,' was crushed toe jelly. and drop
ped uselessly at his side. This however,
was fortunately his only injury. He was
a young man of determined nerve, and of ,
the noblest spirit. He uttered no com
plaint—enot even a groan. When the
train arrived at the depot, a carriage was
immediately called, when, attended by his
friend, he said to the coachman, 'Drive at
ones to Dr. M.—'s in•Walnut-stretit.'—
'Hadn't you better go immediately hums t'

continued, holding out kis dangling limb
over the back of the so C. 'Do it here,
Doctor; I shall not flinct ; I shall not in
terfere with your operatvnis.' The limb
was bared; two atiendand, medical students
in the house, were summoned; the arm
was taken off above theelbow. while the
patient sat as he had reqiiested, uttering no
groan, nor speaking a single word, while
the operation was being performed. The
dressings ;tiny& applied ; and, attended by
his friend, 'the patient had reached the
doer, on his way to his OWn house, which
was very near by, whenite turned round
to the surgeon. and said 'Doctor, I should
like. to look at myarm once more; pray

mangled limb; the patient glanced at the
'bloodless hand and said: 'Doctor, there is
a ring upon the middle finger of that hand;
won't you take it off 'for me f My Mont
ea gave me that ring when she was on her
death-bed. I can part with my arm, but
while I live, I can't part with that ring I'
The ring was slipped from the cold, white
finger: 'Put it on that finger,' said he,
holding out the same finger of his left hand.
As he was leaving the door, with his at,
tendant, to enter the carriage, he said :
'How shall 1 break this thing to my poor
sister 1' Is not this a true 'hero, reader?

Opening of Mummies.
On Friday evening, at the Philadelphia
Museum, Mr. Gliddon proceeded to the
task of unwrapping the mummies of en
Egyptian lady and child, In accordance
with previous announcement.
An audience of about one thousand per
sons, consisting of ladies, medical, bcien
title and professional men, were present.
The back part of the stage was decorated
with several mummy cases, outer and in
ner coffins, some mummies, papyrus and
ornaments ; among them was the body of
a very large and powerful man, which Mr.
IG. said belonged to John* L. Hodge. Esq..
of this city, which was partly unwrapped
labout twenty years ago. From the in
scriptions. it was found that his name was
Pet-isle, he who belongs to Isis, and that
Ihe was a priest of Isis, who died at
Thebes, about 2,500 or 1,000 years before
Christ.
Mr. Gliddon commenced the business
of the evening, by stating that he had pur
chased the female mummy which was a
bout to be unrolled, in London, about two
years since. under the advice of Mr. Buch,
of the British Museum, and Mr. Nash,
a celebrated B.gyptiolist, whose opinions,
as well as his own, were that the mummy
hiiiievei been taken nut of its' original
case -butte pointed out to the audience
where the cue had beer! alotillitetr AO was
moat pro b able' by 'custom-haute officers,
sad franklystated that he kne* no more
of the contents than the spectatou.
The second mummy, a child' obtained
from Epp!, was purchased of Mr. Harris,
of Alexat,dria. The child appear' to be
in gaid condition, al far as could be seen.
It was swathed In linen. with the face
painted on the cloth. Mr. Glidden' said
that mummies of children are very rare.•••
In all his life he has not seen more than a
doien, and six of them were in the Brit.;
ish Museum. Over five hundred millions
of mummies are supposed to be in Egppt,
and it is strange that the bodice of children
are rarely found.
Mr. Oliddon inferred this mummy to
have been made during the Roman domin
ion. The inference that it was made du
ring that time was deduced from the fact
that it was not until that period that the
Egyptians began to print the full face up•
on the cloth in which mummies were
swathed. This would make the dale of
this mummied child almnt MOO to 2000
years before Christ. Mr. Glidden said he
believed this was the only mommy child
in this country.
The inner coffin of the lady who Ives
about to he removed from the pothes was
richly painted and gilded, And covered
with figures of various itjude,,the Hogs of
which were very vivid. Mr. Glidden said
this inner coffin was composed of a sub
stance technically called cartonage. It
was formed of stripes of linen cloth glued
together and moulded so as to fit the body;
it was then sowed together at the back and
coveted with stucco. upon which paintings
were made.
The inbeription on the outside of this
coffin showed that the body. was that of
Get-mitsqui-ingc, the daughter of Opt-liar
af-ank, "the justified"—the father a priest
of Thebes. From the declaretion on the
coffin, it was probable that the. body was
richly embalmed. There were three kinds
of embalming--the richest style (east over
$l2OO, the second kind $3OO, and that
used for the common kind of Egyptian
$2O. With the richer corpses, jewelry
was often found, though the relatives of
the deceased were generally deceived by
the embalmers, who stole the jewels. The
Arabs sometimes opened the coffins cdrich
mummies, took out the jewels and put the
bodies back. All these were contingen
cies which might arise, and to which the
mummy in question was liable. The pro
bability was that this lady had been em
balmed from 1000 to 650 years before
Christ.
A committee, composed of Dr. H. S.
Patterson, Dr. aid Gilbert. and Dr.
Wm. R. Grant. were then appointed to
superintend the unrolling, and assist Mr.
Gliddon and Mr. Moore, his assistant.
The richly decorated inner coffin was
then laid upon a hurdle, and a section of
the head sawed off ; the seam at the back
was unripped. and the body taken out;
upon inspection Mr. Gliddon pronounced
it intact, and as originally embalmed.
The committee then began to unwrap
the bandages. They were of linen: and
some, with the selvage upon them, were
wrapped circularly, and then pieces of lin
en placed longitudinally, anal other cirular
bandages applied. Tim papyrus—book
of the dead—was found on the breast. writ
ten, as Mr. G. announced, in hieroglyphic
haracters, the symbol used by the priests
The scarabceus, - or sacred beetle, was al
so found on the breast of the mummy.—
It was so covered with pitch that it was im
possible to say whether it was accompan
ied by a precious jewel or a piece of com
mon pottery. The teat were found bro
ken and one of the legs came off at the
knee ; a result due to' the injuries commit
ted by the probes of the custom-house
The body was then unwrapped to the
last bandage, which was found to be so
tightly glued to the body that it was evi
dent to take it oil would be a work of con
siderable time. It was soft, however, and
showed the figue plainly. One of the
hands watt entir:dy covered. The further
examination of this mummy was then en
trusted to the committee, who will report
on Monday evening next.
The body of the child was then unwrap
ped. It was embalmed in better style than
the common Egyptians, with whom mat
ting was generally used. It was wrapped
in coarse cloth and embalmed in a differ
ent manner front that of Goi-mus-ask-ank.
Bitumen was freely used, so much so as
to make it probable that a hammer and
chisel would have to be used to open some
of the bandages. The pitch had been ap
plied cold, us was supposed, some of the
hair of the head having been obtained a
bout half en inch long, and very soft and
fine. The examination of this mummy
was also entrusted to the committee, who
will report at the next lecture.

tion to the Railroad meeting at Westminster,

Wits-rmtsirrsa. Jan.-18,1851.
To the Citizens of Gettysburg and of Ad
ams county, in Railroad Meeting as
sembled :
Gentlemen :—At a meeting of the Ex
ecutive Committee of the Westminster
Branch Railroad Company. held in West
minster this day, the committee was noti
fied of your intention of meeting in Get
tysburg for the purpose of devising the
ways and means of forming a connection
with the Baltimore and Susquehanna Rail
Road, at York ; and taking into conside
ration the geographical situation of your
town and county. said committee were of
opinion that they could Mier you a connec
tion with the city of H ilumore by a short
er, less expensive and more practicable
route.
The said committee therefore appointed
the undersigned a committee to address
your meeting on the subject.
The Westminster Branch Rail Road
will certainly be made, add that in the
course of two years from the present time.
We have already a charter for the con
struction of this road from Owing's Mills
through Westminster to the head-waters
of the Monocacy end thence: through liar.
man's Gap in the mountain to Hagers.
town. The projected line of this road will
cross the Monocacy near the mouth of
Rock Creek, which heeds near your town.
The distance from Baltimore to Gettys
burg, by the way of York, (if you will ex
amine,) cannot be less than eighty-five
miles. The distance between the same
points by the way of Westminster, on the
turnpike, is now fifty-two miles—five
miles leas than from York to Baltimore by
the Railroad. From surveys and recoil
nuisances which we have made we can
assure you that by ma. route the distance
from Baltimore to Gettysburg will not ex
ceed sixty miles, fully twenty-five miles
shorter than the route through York. and
of that distance you will have but fifteen
miles of road to make, viz : from the
mouth of Rock Creek to your town.. A
shorter and more practicable route, and in
our opinion, combining all the advantages
that could possibly be attained by the York
route, with the additional advantage of
ahorteniug the distance between Gettys
burg and Baltimore twenty-five miles,
which should be an item ol no small con
sideration, both to the stockholders and to
persons transporting produce, anti travel
ing over the road.
We therefore respectfully suggest to you
the propriety of taking the Westminster
route into consideration, and alma invite
you to send a delegation to attend a Rail
road meeting to he held in Westminster
on the twenty-sixth of February.
In the hope that this address will meet
with the attention we believe it merits,
We remain your., most respectfully,

(COMINIUMICATIM.
THE RAIL ROAD MEETING ON
TUESDAY LAST.
The meeting which convened in this place on
Tuesday last, in response toe call In the County
papers, to consult upon the propriety of adopting
measures to secure a Railroad communication viith
the cities, via York, was an Immense gathering.
It was much the largest county meeting, aside
from the political mass meetings of 1848 and
1844, that has ever, been convened in the county,
within onr recollection. We think we are not
exaggerating in saying that full one half of the per
sons present were unable to get into the Court
house; to participate in the proceedings. We al
lude to this fact with pride and pleasure, furnish
ing,
as it does, indisputiible evidence that our eiti-1
tens have at length waked tip term thet.Rip Van,
Winkle" slumber into which there seemed to be
good reason to fear they had fallen, and that I
they are now prepared to move actively and
efficiently towards the important project which
has been so long mooted but never acted upon.—
Second to no county in the State In point of in
telligence, and exerting, for years past, a control
ling voice in the councils of the Stab, by mean'
of her legislators. it is a matter of surprise that
Adams county should have so long rested in ap
parently utter indifference as to the prosperity of
her agricultural, mechanical, and general industri
al interests, and stood by with folded arms, while
the chain of improvements gradually being wound
around her, was rapidly cutting her off from com
munication with all the world and the "rest oil
mankind," end necessarily prejudicing her in ev
eryssect. We shall not stop now to seek for the
cause of this. We have to deal with the present
—it is sufficient to note that such has been the
case, and that at last, as we fondly hope, the spir
it of improvement is at work amongst our people
too.
The meeting on Tuesday, as bas been remark- i•
ed, was an extraordinarily large one, and every
section of the tonal- was well represented by in.
telligent and substantial citizens—all of whom
seemed to he animated by • single feeling, an earn
est desire that non/thing should be done. 'This, at
least, is gratifying and encouraging. The impor
tance of n rail road communication to our commu
nity seems to he fully appreciated, and we shall
not stultify ourselves by entering into a detailed
argument to prow that we need if. THAT A
RAMBO 1D SHOULD BE MADE—we take
to be a settled point, so far as the wishes of our
citizens ■re concerned. The only points to be
determined are—can at be done, and how shall
it he done
To the first of these inquiries, we unhesitating.
lv respond—it CAN be done, and that very easily.
Why, laying out of view every other considera
tion, the farmers and property.holders along the.
route of the Railroad, wherever it may be located,
should be able and willing of themselves to make
it. bay. fix sake of illustration, that the route to
York is adopted, running 30 miles. The cost, at
$lO,OOO per mile, would be $3J0,000. It could be
dune for less, but we take that estimate, to be on
the safe side. Now, we presume it would not be
very hard to prove that thecontempleted rail-road
would add from $lO to $l5 to the value of every
acre of lend within three miles on either OAT, and
in some cases a good deal more. Well, 30 miles
length by 6 breadth, would give us 180 square
miles, or near 112,000 acres. If every farmer or
land owner within these limits were is invest but
but $3 for every acre, that atone would snake the
road and $36,000 over And every man would
still have his $7 to $l2 per acre gain in the value
I of his land left him, though his investment of S 3
per acre were given away. And over and above
this increased value, there would be secured the
increased yearly revenue from the products of his
lands. As the case thus stands, then, he would
hays his convenieuce in the road, the advanced
/slue in his lands, and pocket yearly the interest
lon his investment of $3 per acre. What Way ye.'
..doubting, pouting" ones,—cse'r IT as nova 1
Or need ye the 11011, horse and ponderous train ac
tually puffing end thundering along our rallies to I
call your faits into lively exercise I But it wilt
not be asked that those along the route should
should give these $3 per acre, nor one-half of that
amount. although we have no doubt many would
give a good deal more. There are other portions
of the county that will help to make the road.—
The northern, western and southern 011eTTOTIO
of the county also want their coal, lumber and
lime, and other articles of commerce, and wish a
market far their wheat, and rye, ,ond ITOrto, and
eggs, and butter, and poultry, and a hundred other
products of the farm. Why, the granite rocks,
which now encumber our bills, almost valueless
fur want of a markk., although inferior to none,
and superior to west in the Union, ought of them
selves to realize revenue enough to build one-half
the road!
But granting thrt the road ought to be made,
and that it me be made, the question arises sow
Is it to be made I As to w litre the road should be
mode, we have nothing now to say. Various pro
positions affecting this point have been started, all
of which. for the present, as will be seen by the
proceedings of the meeting on Tuesday last. have

Burglars about !
On Tuesday night last about midnight, an at
tempt was made to enter the Clothing and Varie
ty Store of Col. Miscue Snowy, in this place.—
Col. S. was sleeping in the room above the Store.
and had his attention attracted by the noise of
some person attempting, probably, to prize one of
the shutters, or, as is more likely, to force the
lock of the door by means of false keys ; and he
hoisted one of the windows overlooking the ope
ration going on below. The villain Immediately
took the alarm and fled, unrecognised except ■s
to general appearance. Col. Samson describes
him as a person of middle size, with cap, box
, cost, end muffled boots.
It may net be improper to jay In this connec
tion, that on the ulna evening, at en earlier hour,
an unknown person was discovered under suspi
duns circumstances, on theirear of the premises of
H. H Bututaa, who, upon a member of the fsm-
ily by chance making his appearance, suddenly
"beat a retreat.' It is possible that the fellow's
design may have been to reconnoitre with& view
to operations at a late hour.
Without wishing to excite unnecessary alarm,
we suggest that it would be well enough for on'
citizens to be on the alert. A number of towns
■round us, Hagerstown, Frederick, Chambersburg,
dm, have recently suffered from the operations of
burglars, and it would not be surprising were
some of the gang to pay us a visit.

the state, in a glorification article announcing the
result holds the following language :
"We shall never forget the expression of acorn
and contempt that fell from Mum Democrat, in
the Legislature, when it was proclaimed that
Cameron claimed the election of Broadhead as a
triumph over the true Democracy. W hen tha
nomination and his election were cons.immated.
every Democrat felt and declared that it was a
dealh•blo* to the scheme's of Cameron. This
was the opinion—ibis the cause of universal re
joicing—this the . cause of the , discontent and die- I
may of the disorganizera and their chief."
The Philadelphia Tigers professes to be equally
delighted at Broadhead's success, and holds it up
as a pointed rebuke to the Buchanan wing !
The Editors my
'Mr. Broadhead has no connection or sympa•
thy with the detestable faction which we have
been fighting for some time past, whose machina
tions have so long distracted our party, and whose
mouth•pi-ce is the Pennsylvanian. They have

You margemensber that at the test session of
the Legislature, much feeling was manifested
and much time occupied in the consideration of
• bill for the relief of the Philadelphia and Read ,
log Railroad. That bill was finally passed, giv
ing therCompany twenty years for the payment
of the bonds held against them. It was then al
leged that the Company was bankrupt—that the
bondholders were just about taking their road and
fixtures in execution end the Company would be
utterly ruined, unless the Legislature would in
that way come to their iise6tante. Itnowsp
pears that during the past year the Company Sas
been very successful, and have declared a divi
dend to the stockholders of some 10 or 12 per
Cent. Much indignation is felt on the pert ofthe
bondholders. that they should be compelled to in
vest their funds, to their own injury and the bene
fit of others—and a strong effort is being made to
remedy this evil, either by repealing the lee of
last session. or the enactment of another, dittoing
the profits to the payment of debts.
The Library Committees of both House, Wive

It is rut old maxim that every wise build-
er first musts flit doSt. • The fact has been
often established that a rtil-rteol, such , as
we want, furnirhed with rare and water
stations. ready Ort work, will not exceed
ten thous:Mil Millar, per mile, which is
about two and a hall the original cost of
our torn-pike toads. It is well to know
that this sum need not all be paid down
in cash. In the first plsee it has become
common for the builders of roads. as well
as those who furnish materials, to tilts

thousand, five hundred dollars per mile to
be made up. Secondly, itie money need
not be paid at once. Stork may be taken
in instalments payable annually for five
years. An individual who takes *thous.
and dollars worth of stock, will thus
be recited to make up only two hundred
dollars a year. You can . easily do this ;
you are clear of debt ; ; there is not a coun
ty in the State in which the property-hold
ers are so easy in their monied affairs as
to debt. Your farms are well stocked. and
if then you consider yourselves ream for
five years, with a low monied rent to pay.
the walk' Is done. You will be aided in
this at once, by the increased demand and
prices for your' produce, by the persons
employed in constructing the road': and
When the road is finished, in the inereatied
facilities in getting to markets and receiv
ing higher prices for your produce.
When your payments are all made, and
the period of your assumed tenantry has
passed by, you will find your condition,
as to the value of your property especial
ly, very greatly improved. You will be
in close connection with the busy world,
of which we hear so much. Its bustle,
and beelines's, and enterprise and increased
population will be brought to your cows.
There will be an increased home demand
,-and-torrespondently increased vices for
all your products, whilst the great ulnas
will he so near that every article not dis
posed satisfactorily at home, will Lind
a market and , high price there. Articles
of produce which hitherto could not be
profitably taken to a city market. will now
be doubled in their value by the facili
ties thus afforded in reaching the market.
New sources of labor will spring up and
give employment to thousands of persons.
who will need all your produce and bring
money from abroad to pay lot it. In short.
your lands will be virtually transported to
the vicinity of the great marts of our coml.
try, and at once com►hand the laical; of
lands thus actually near the cities.
There is probably no section of noun
try of equal extent anywhere in the .State
which contains source■ of wealth and in
dustry fur railroad development to a great
er extent Than is found in our county,
when we except the coal and iron regions.
Amongst the products. hay and all that the
dairy yields will be doubled in price, and
no land.is better adapted to such products
than yours. Of new sources of labor, the
exportation of ice and our granite rocks
may he mentioned as two ol the more pro
minent. If our dressed granite now pave
for wagon transportation to Carlode, York,
and other places. surely it will yield a
much greater profit when we are brought
an near the cities, in which the demand for
building materials of this kind Is boundless.
Our cities now are supplied from Nova
Scotia, Massachuretts and Connecticut:—
make this road and our county will have
the advantage over all of them. Thous
ands of laborers Will find employment in
splitting and dressing these hitherto useless
rocks, and bring hack money for your
bread and meat, and greatly add to the
general business of the county. Another
source of wealth and industry will be
found in the timber of our mountain. The
State railroad, nearly all graded and bridged
to the top of the South mountain, can be
planked at a comparatively trifling expense
which will enable the owners of those
mountain lands to bring to our city market
sawed timber for building. It may hot be
generally known that oak, walnut and
cheanut timber is more valuable in our cit.
ice than pine, because of their scarcity,'
pine being • almost enclusively brought
down on the rivers Susquehanna and Del
aware. The hrecciated lime rock of spot
ted marble of Carree's tract, also might
become an article fur export. All these
*mild not only odd to the wealth and in
dustry of the county, but make up a large
amount of tonnage over and above the u
sual business of railroads elsewhere.- , -
The import tonnage trio would be greater
on this road than an equal amount of road
in other sections. The simple article of
lime, so much needed by you, would of it
self afford more tonnage than all other ar
ticles on roads where this valuable manure
is not needed. Stone-coal too, for fuel,
not only Id be used in our towns, hut by
von yourselves,like the farmers of Lan
caster and Chester, will in a very few
years be brought up in large quantities.—
Add to all this the ordinary business and
travel on this road, which is invariably
creased five fold whenever a railroad IA
constructed, and you cannot but come to
the conclusion that the value of your lands
will be greatly increased by this outlay,
and that the amount-of business will be
such as to ptondse a dividend OW your in
vestment equal to at least three per cent,
and ultimately it may reach six per cent.
