Captain Harvey Coo|><t.
The history of the services of Coo
jter's battery is lluked with some of the
most brilliant and bloody action^of
the war. Its thumler was heard in
the thickest of the battle at Malvern
Hill, Gainesville, Second Bull Ruu,
Chantilly, Auteitam, Fre<lericsburg,
Gettvsburg, Wildernesa, Petersburg,
aud "many other engagements. The
brave and distinguished captain of that
hatterv is the democratic candidate for
Surveyor General. He was frequent-
Iv mentioned in general orders by
Generals Reynolds and Mead. The
tieople of Pennsylvania will not fail to
honor this gallant hero in October by
triumphantly electing him.
And now Greeley devoted to the
wrath of the infernal goda. The New
York Times publishes, in italics, the
following extract from his Vicksburg
speech :
"I greet you here," said Mr. Gree
ley, "as citizens who will in time feel
honor in the glory of Stonewall Jack
son as well a* those who were in the op
posing armies, [cheers;] who will glory
of R. E. l*ee, as well as those who
fought against him. lie felt that the
clouds that now hover over the eouu
trv would soon (be swept away, and
vanish in the grand, growing and ris

the accident of birtb, as well as ostra
cising all and sundry, who believed in
a national government —instead of a

fraud. Now that the Radical leaders
begin to Sad one another out, there
is some hope foe the country. —Pitts-
burg Poet.
Grant's Unpopularity.
At the banquet given in .New York
to the British members of the High
Commisaiou the health ofthe President
ofthe United States was among the
hot of the regular toasts. It was
drunk in absolute silence, and even the
bam I which was rwesent was not call
ed upon to complimeut the President
with the usual national air. Imme
diately afterwards the health ofQueen
Victoria was proposed and was re
ceived with the most enthusiastic
dicers. An American assemblage is
not apt to fed any special enthusiasm
for the English Queen. In this case,
however, the enthusiasm which refused
to respond to the name of General
Grant found expression at the men
tion of Queen Victoria, not so much as
a tribute of admiration to her but as a
testimony to the unpopularity of the
President.
More recently, at the eelebration of
the unveiling of the statue of Profes
hii Morse, a prominent citizen under
took to read a letter from General
Grant, remarking that he would read
a "letter from the President at Long
Branch." The audience received the
mention of the new capital of the na
tion with a unanimous roar of laugh
ter. Nothing could more clearly show
the contempt into which the Presi
dent has ialleu than the fact that a
compauy of gentleman, among whom
were many members of the Radical
(tarty, could openly laugh at the Pre
sident's absence from the post of duty.
The cheers which on this occasion were
given for "Greeley and the one-term
principle" were intended more to re
buke the President than to complimeut
his rival.
And when, upon the return of Mr.
Greeley, his friends gave him a bril
liant public reception the name of the
President was mentioned but once, and
then, although it was mentioned by
Mr. Greeley himself, it was received
in perfect silence. The audience were
a I.nost to a man ardent Radicals, but
not one of them ventured to propose a
cheer for the President of their former
choice. Indeed it is among the Radi
cals themselves that the President is
treated with the most open disrespect;
for among Democrats a traditional re
spect for the Presidential office renders
I hem less disposed to unnecessary com
ment upon its occupants' weaknesses.
"If we are to have a new kind of road,
a trial of a new experiment, we are for new
men to control it—for men who know what
they are doing . . . We are for a rail
road, and we want to see something be
sides fuss and talk and footing. If we are
to commence new let us begin new aright
and go ahead."— Watchman.
Ah, yes, we think now we see the milk
in the cocoa nut. Meek may possibly have
a new narrow guage charter which he
would like to sell out to a new company for
a nice sum, and "go right" ahead, mort
gaged at 8 per cent, interest. The man
who has made the biggest fool of himself
in that matter, wo think, by this time, is
Mock—a narrow guager at Harrisburg and
a broad guager at Bcllefonte.
The Watchman says that nine tenths of
tlia stockholders in Pennsvalley are op
sosod to the narrow guage. We deny it,
and it never had any warrant for saying so-
The opposite is correct. If the Watchman
were correct, why did its editor champion
so many narrow guage bills in the legisla
ture?

Now here Is tba 3rd section of tki* bill;
Section 3 That the *id company shall
have the right to build and construe a rail
road of *ucn guagc or guages not exceeding
forty inches a* the director* ofsaidcainpn
nv shall determine from the city of Lock
Haven to any point within the limit*ofthe
county of Clinton or of the county of Cen
tre not to exceed forty uule* in length with
the right and privilege to build and con
struct branches or lateral railroad* not ex
ceeding ten mile* in length from the point
of intersection with the main laine of said
railroad and sfcajl havjs ita right to connect
with any railroad constructed or to be
hereafter constructed
So that by this bill we arc forcetl to
make narrow guagc or none. The Penn'a
Hit. com p., offers to build u* a broad guage
if the people along the line do as they
promised and raise money enough to grade
it, but advise us, for our own good, in view
of the new light that has been thrown upon
railroad guages, to chose the narrow guage.
now what is there wrong and unfair about
it, and yet Mr. Meek denounces this sug
gestion ifi the of bi*favorite bill which
leaves us not even the poor boon of mak
ing choice of other than the narrow* guage.
Again, Mr. Meek denounced Mr. Mil
ler's bill in the Valrikmms a* all our peo- :
pla will recollect, and delayed it at Harris
burg, hecaqsa if mortgaged our road for a
large turn at 7 per cent. Moyr wa give
below the 4th section of Mr. Meek * bill,
which also propose* to mortgage the road
and at 8 per cent.,— one per cent higher
than proposed by Jr. Miller's bill, which
he made our people believe was so outra
geous.
Here is tb 4lb sertlnuofMr. Meek'sbill:
Section 4 That the said company thai!
have the right to issue their bonds to an I
amount not exceeding seven thousand dol-|
lars per mile of said railroad at a rale oi
interest not exceeding eight per centum per
annum and secure the payment of said
bonds by a mortgage of the corporate right*
franchise* and property both real and |er
sonat of said company and tho directors of
said company are authorized to negotiate
said bonsi at wii price as they may de
termine
Now we ask the people of Pennsvalley'
what they think of all this, after reading
the scoldings in Mr. Meek'spaper. and pla
cing it side by side with hi* doing* at Har
risburg, favoring a bill to ollotc nothing in
Centre county but a net work of narrow
guagc railroad*, mortgaged at 8 per ccnt..\
and then coming bach and through tbe col
umns of hi* paper getting you into a tight
against the narrow guage I
This is not tbe only narrow-gunge bill
Mr. Meek favored ; there were a cumber
of tbera.'but this one answer* our purpose,
and we think answers bis scolding*.
We are sorry in make these remarks, but
the bad advice of the Watchman for the
last three weeks, and its worse effect u|>on
our people, left us no other course—left u*
no other course if we desire a railroad.
After having labored so long and so hard
for it for years, now, when our people are
about to reap tbe fruits of all thoir labors,
we cannot tit by silently and see tbe pro
ject strangled in so despicable a manner, a*
*e are here forced to expose. It is an in
sult to our people, a* it is presuming that
they have not intelligence enough to un
derstand their own affairs, and can be made
to swallow any draught thutjs presented to
tbem; many men are found playing in
that character with tbe people of this side
the county. What was the object, in tho
Ist section of tbe above bill, in tickling so
many of our citizens with a narrow guage
straw, if narrow guages are the humbug
represented by our neighbor? say?
Why does be denounce the narrow guagc
for tbe L. C. AS. C. Kit. and then try to
force a " one home velocipede" as he now
calls it, upon the people of Brush valley and
Pennsvalley, and mortgaged with bonds
at 8 per cent, interest?
If, then, the opinions—or scoldings—of
the Watchman, are entitled to respect, it
must be upon the ground that its editor is
a great railroad man, as shown up by bis
ability—and we acknowledge it—to ride
both the broad and narrow guage ponies.
To be able to ride two horse* at the
same time, the animal* must be matched,
and our friend Meek having performed the
feat, it necessarily proves that the narrow
guage pony must be perfect match of tbe
broad guage horse, unless at this'writing it
is shown that the rider has been thrown.
Every intelligent person who has looked
into the matter of narrow guages, has ad
mitted its plausibility, and the subject is
gaining friends every day, and loosing
none, and if the Watchman editor by bis
late course thinks to.have made capital for
a 4th term, we fear he may find he hat
been fishing in shallow water for populari
ty and that the people bavo detected that
statesmanship and grentness should run in
a different channel, whither bis line hat
not yet been thrown.
All the railroad men in this country and
1 Europe argue in favor ofthe narrow guage,
as being the least expensive and most profi
' table, and affroding the same advantages

The I VoUhm** talke* of "doubt.., dis

hurrah go up, from ail narrow guagc and
broad guage throat*, for Meek I
The W atckman a**ert* that tho pcoplo
along ti>o lino subscribed about five hun
dred thousand dollar* to grade the road.
You are again misinforming the people,
dear neighbor, for that is the sum that
should have been aubtcribed, and it is now
about one third hort of your figure, and
tell us who will make it u| to grade a broad
guage, which we are to have if we raLc the
deficiency. Now, neighbor reason plainly
and keep to the fact*, and ave u* the troub
lo of following you up. We can give you
the figure*, the amount subscribed i* ju*t
$.125,000 or $ I To, 0(10 dollar* less than you
say, and if it coptc* up half to (he amount
you misrepresent it, it will give u the
broad guage if vrc are foolish cnought to
accept it. Now stick a pin there and quit
your claptrap.
The Watchman then ask* with an air of
triupph, ''Will *otne of tho deadweights
who arc controlling tfcis motley apiaer?
Thinking be may address u*. we amu-cr
him above, and all hi* other unmeaning
twaddle, and we think thU week's lltrou-
TIB will afford him about a* much fwd (<>r
reflection a* our neighbor can explain
away satisfactorily to the people of our
valley and of the county.
If we are to have a Narrow Guage rond
through Pennsvalley at a eot of ix thous
and dallar* per mile, and if the people
along tho route are to be compelled to pay
the live hundred thousand dollars subscrib
ed. what I* to bo done with the five hun
dred thousand dollar* subscribed or pro
posed to be subscribed by tho Pennsylva
nia railroad company ?— Watchman.
Well now that is a heavy question, and
again displays the ignorance ofthe Watch
man. Wo tell you the people along the
route did not subscribe fire hundred thous
and dollars —but are $175,000 short of it.
We tell you that the Peno'a railroad com
pany has nothing to do with it, and was
not to subscribe any thing for, the gra
ding. That is left altogeUiur, whatever it
cost, for the people along the line. If tho
Penn'a K. K. ha* any stock it goc* for ex
pense* other than grading. It is alto
gether clear that the W atchman is a* little
booked upon our railroad offair* at home,
a* its cjitor wa* when be ran wild upon
narrow guages at HarrUburg, last winter.
PROFITS OF NAIIROW-T! AUGK
The Greeley (Colorado) Tribune says
that in building a narrow-gauge railroad
from Greeley to the mountains, interest <>n
the bonds could bo paid lor in the in
creased price potatoes would sell for, that
is, in building tho road, potatoes would sell
for three cents a pound at least. |f inn
built, thev wo Id not bring more than one
cent a pound.
"If, as our friend Kurtz of tho Centre
Hall Reporter says, that Hon. Tho* A.
Scott ha* asserted that all railroad* hereaf
ter will be built on tho narrow guage idea,
is correct, will some one explain why some
ef the money Mr. Scott's companies are
now investing is not used to build Narrow
Guage road*, is* place of being expended
to constrict routes ofthe ordinary guage,'
Watchman,
Just such fudge has come from the
same quarter. Our neighbor should have
known that one of Tom Scott's companies
has the greater part of stock in our road
which is to be narrow gunge. Besides, all
the daily papers of this week contain thi*
item which is a farther answer to the ghove
misrepresentation!
"THOMAS A. SCOTT—Leavenworth.
Kansas, Juno '24. —Thos. A. Scott, of the
Pennsylvania Central Kail road is here,
ilit vis t is understood to strengthen the
projected Narrow (lunge Roud front here
to Denver."
♦ -•- ♦
Narrow (Jlingo or Nary (initio.
that** what one of Meok's railroad Lille
reads.
Meek had about a half doaen bills, all
upon the principle of narrow gunge or "na
ry" guage.
The W ATCIIMAW is mistaken wit eh it
scolds the Penn'a railroad for wanting to
give our people a narrow guage or nothing.
Our good neighbor read that idcain Meek*
bill of last winter—there is where the
language reads "you people of Miles,
Haines and Penn must take a marrow
guage or nothing." The Pennsylvania
railroad is much fairer, itoffers a choice,
if we raise all the money fora broad guage
they still offer to make it, but under lite
late developements they advise us to ac
cept the narrow track, us being the best ta
ken all ground.

An account of the largest rope in
the world, :is described in ono of the
daily paj*rs of Birmingham, England
—the place of its manufacture —will
prove interesting to the American rea
der. According to the details given
the rope is 11,000 yards long, mea
sures five and one-fourth inches in cir
cumference, and weighs over sixty
tons. Made of patent charcoal wire,
laid round a hemp centre, the rope
consists of six- stands, with ten wires in
each stand. Each wire measures J'2,-
100 yards, so that the entire length of
the wire icaches the enormous total of
more than four hundred and twelve
miles. To this is to be added the
length of yarn used for the centre,
namely, twenty seven threads, each
thread measuring 15,000 yards, and
giving a total length of about two
hundred and thirty miles. Adding
together the wire and yarn thero is a
grand total of 035 miles of material—
all going to make up a monster wire
and hemp rope a little under six miles
long.

At lUi, iu cotnimuy with General
Mcrriti and oue of tho .1 valanche corps,'
Mr. Greeley took a lide through tliei
streets of the city, visiting, among oth
er places, the Navy-yard, Fort Picker
ing, tkc County Jail, and various pub
lic pieces. Calling at the Post-office
for letters, General Mcrritt was in
formed thai letters for hiimelfand Mr.
Greeley iiad been sent to the Peabodv
hotel, and there the carriage at once
proceeded. Mr. Miller at once polite-i
ly invited the party to alight, and the
quartet preceded io one of the parlors
of the hotel, where Mr. Qrcely refresh
ed himself with ice w : ater, after Mr.
Grcely refreshed himself with ice wa
ter, after which he was shown through
the magificonl dining-room. I<earu
ing that Mr. Jcfl. Davis was a sojourn
er at the Peabodv, Mr. Greeley in
quired concerning bis health, and was
informed that Mr. Davis had been
looking for a call from him all the
morning, and had just left the house.
Mr. Greeley said he would like to nay I
his respects to Mrs. Davis had he tiuie|
and opportunity, as he hail neither, he
requested Mr. Miller to present his
compliments, saving that she called
upou him in Haltiraore once when Mr.
Davis and herself were in trouble, and
that he was much impressed with her>
devotion and earnestness. He furth
ermore saiil that Mrs. Davis was a
connection of the Blair family, the el-;
ders of which were his political nnd
personal friends for many years.
About 12 o'clock Hon. Jell*. Dav.'s
at the Overton Hotel, and was usher
ed into the presence of Mr. Greelev, at
whose bands he met a very cordial rc
ception. Mr. Davis was dignified nnd
somewhat formal, while Mr. Greeley
was frank, easy {and quite tulkativc. :
There was scarcely a reference to the
political situation. Mr. Greeley in
quired concerning thp hcajth of Mrs.
Davis with much warmth and earnest
ness, nnd again referred to the high re
gard be entertained for that lady nnd
the family of which she came. Mr.:
Davis responded appropriately, and
expressed his gratitude of himself nnd
Mrs. Davis for his kindly services soon
after the war. This brought up Mrs.
Duvis' interview referred to above, on
which Mr. Grcely seemed to dwell
with much pleasure. In the course of
the conversation Mr, Greeley again (
spoke of the Blairs, and especially ofj
of the seniors of that distinguished
family, remarking en passant that
Finnic J*. Blair, Jr., and other* of tjie
present generation did not do justice
to the old stock, to whom he referred,
with apparent deep feeling. Mr.!
Greeley then passed on to subjects'
nearer home, and finally dwelt forsev-i
ergl niinir.es on the memory of Gener
al Quitman, of whom ho spoke as a
warm personal and political friend in
times gone by. Not a word was said

Paris, May 18.—A terrific explo

! I, who am a mile from the scene of the
disaster, thought I was a dead wau.
I have a powuer about one
hundred and fifty yards from me.
Yesterday morning there-were thirty
ilive or forty railway vans discharging
shells into it. When I heard the se-

the above-mentioned powder magazine
which had blown up, for the reporta

the windowa rattled, every woman waa
,|hri*fcig, children were eobbfcig, Ma
tjtionil (Tuard* wero tunning wildly

I looked nround mo hi see which wall
of the houoe would fall firaL Finding
it remain firm on it* foundation 1 went
i to the window to find the *troet filled
■ with n terrified crowd, but nobody
i could diecover the source of the dcto

i pencil* of light protruding on every

aocu in a dark room wbeu beam* |ieoe-
. irate some shutter'* crevice. The
e huge ball floated motionless, and gave
j no sign of merging into air.
e, Presently volumus of thinner smoke
v curled fitfully upwards, and now and
> then forked tongue* of flame ran ner
[> vously from their bottom to their top.
I 'The' Hotel de* Invalide* baa been

J tastropbe occurred tho street* where
r full of people reluming home to din
