    THE JOURNAL.
CLEARFIELD, PA., DEC. 15, 1858.
A number of matters intended Tor this
""week'a paper are unavoidably crowded out.
A Correction. In noticing the fact of the
freezing of Mr. Ellis, a couple weeks since,
we said the Irishman who accompanied the
Unfortunate man, returned to Kadebachs.
This, it seems, was not the case, neither hav
ing been there that day. The Irishman re
turned about daylight to Connor's shanty.
We make this correction, lest a wrong impres
sion might be created by our former statement.
PixB County. The friends of this new
connty are making a vigorous eflort to have a
bill passed this winter by the Legislature, lor
dts formation. Petitions are in circulation,
and a meeting was held on Wednesday even
ing last at New Washington for the purpose ot
determining upon the lines, and making such
-other arrangements as were deemed necessa
ry. A letter, or circular, addressed to certain
citizens of Fine county, in favor of the
same, was last week circulated and numer-
'ously signed in this place, and many of our
prominent citizens aro thus pledged for the
project. This begins to make it look as if the
Pino county people may finally succeed in
their undertaking.
"The Four Sisters," by Miss Bremer, is one
ol those novels, by this genial author, which
have so pleasantly opened to ns the doors of
Swedish homes, warmed our hearts in facir
cheerful fireside glow, and made us familiar
with the lights and shadows of Swedish life.
'The subject of the story is a woman's life and
a woman's fate. The novel is full of rich hu
mor, clever character painting, and felicitous
descriptions of town life and country life, and
in-door and out-door scenery in Sweden. The
translation has been made by Mary Ilowitt,
who seems born to do things remarkably well
write admirablo stories of her own, and ad
mirably translate the stories of Miss Bremer.
We would advise all of our readers to obtain
it and read it. It is published by T. 1$. Pe
terson & Brothers, Philadelphia, who will send
a bound copy of it to any one, per mail, tree
of postage, on sending $1.25 in a letter to
them."
Public Meeting. In pursuance of a call, a
large number of the citizens of Jordan town
hip met at Ansonville school house on Satur
day the 11th day of Dec. 1858. On motion,
Kobcrt Liddlo was called to the chair, and V
U. Ilegarty chosen Sec'y. Tho object of the
oecthi having boen briefly stated by the Pres-
i lout, which was to take into consideration
the propriety of tho removal of the county
teat lroni Clearfield to Curwcnavillc, on mo
tion, John Swan, Isaac Haines, IT. Swan, It
ii. McCully and James Hunter were appointed
a committee to draft resolutions expressive of
the sense of the meeting. The committee, af
ter retiring for a short time, reported the fol
low ing. which were unanimously adopted :
L Resolved, That we are in favor of removing
tt;c countv seat lrora Clearfield to Curwens
ville.
Kesolved, That Cnrwensville is a more cen
irxl place, being on the public thoroughfare
leaning from Erie to iyroue.
Ilt-solved. That as the citizens of Curwens
v'uie have pledged themselves to erect tho pub
lic buildings in case of a removal, (winch
would be a sating to the taxpayers of Clear
field county of from thirty to lorty thousand
dollars,) that we will use ail honorable means
to e'ect a removal of the county seat from
Clearfield to Curwensville.
On motion, D. W. Wise, Isaac Haines, II.
Swan, John Swan and Peter Bloom were ap
pointed delegates to attend the meeting at
Curwensrille on r riday the lth day of Dec
On motion, W. B. Ifegarty, Peter Bloom,
James Davison and II. P. Shoening were ap
pointed to present petitions for signers.
On motion, Kesolved, That the proceedings
i this meeting tie published in the Raftsman's
.Journal and Clearfield Republican.
On motion, the meeting adjourned.
Robert Liddle, Prest.
W. B. Hegarty, Sec'y.
There is no hope for the Treasury under our
present Tariff. Mr. Buchanan tells us in his
Message that the $10,000,000 additional which
Mr. Cobb is authonzed to borrow will soon be
required ; and that the income of the next fis
cal year, (after June, 1859,) will be but $62,
000,000, while the expenditures will go at
least $11,000,000 higher. The public debt
will be $05,000,000 on the 1st of July next
To overcome this deficit, it is proposed to
limit the franking privilege and raise the post
age on letters to Ave cents.
Railroads. The number of miles of rail
way in th United States exceeds that in the
rest of the world altogether by 2550. The
number of railways completed in the United
I'tates is two hundred and seveuty-four ; the
number partially completed sixty-three; and
th number in course of construction one una
dred and seven. The number of miles now in
ovration is 21. CIO, which have been comple
ted at a cost of $021,316,103. The number of
miles in course of construction is 10.95.
The permanent way of the American railways
iii, however, said to be ot a very flimsy cbar-
- acter compared with that ot England.
Tn Amistad Case. The President puts
Lis plea for the purchase of Cuba upon the
ground that it is the only way to put an end to
tho detestable blave Trade and secure the civ
ilization Of Africa ; and almost in the same
breath recommends the payment of the Anii
atad claim, which fs simply the claim of some
African Slave Traders whose slaves wore lib
erated by the U. S. Supreme Court and sent
back to Africa. The motive for tnis mconsis
tency is to be foundjin the desire to propitiate
Spain as the first preliminary towards our pur
, cbase of Cuba from her. With the usual plan
tation and provincial sagacity of the statesmen
of the South, the Court of Spain Is expected
to be roollifled by paying this paltry claim of
iae .-vuiisiau, ana in consideration inereoi sur
rendering to the Yankee heretics the ever
f&ilbful Island of Cuba. If. however, the
S'ave Trade is so abominable and detestable
as Zlr. Buchanan gays it Is. insomuch that we
yearly expend hundreds of thousands for its
suppression, wby should the Slave Traders of
tte Amistad be paid for being banlked in their
iTiwonny enterprise j is It usual to nay rob-

Arizona asd its Delegate. A new El Do
rado has been found in Arizona. Lieut. Mow
ry, who caino passenger in the last overland
mail from Fort Yuma, reports that hundreds
are flocking to the banks of tho Gila, where
gold exists in large quantities. A small city
lias suddenly grown up in one place. Silver
is also found in abundance, and the Sonora
Mining Company arc reported to be smelting
1,000 ounces per week. The present popula
tion ot Arizona is estimated at 15.000, three
fourths of whom areAmericans. Nearly 3,000
votes were cast at the recent election for dele
gate to Congress, most of which were given
for Lieut. Sylvester Mowry, U. S. A. As Ari
zona will probably be organized into a Terri
tory this session, Lieut. Mowry will have an
opportunity to take bis seat in Congress. He
is quite a 3'oung man, bul has already exhibit
ed qualities, as a soldier and legislator, of the
highest order. He graduated with distinction
at West Point, and was for two or tbreo years
in command at Fort Ynraa, on tho Colorado.
He is uow the foremost man in Arizona. The
embryo Territory is immensely rich in mineral
wealth, and will rapidly fill tip and become a
State. Mr. Mowry 's fortunes will rise with
those of the Territory.
Gold Stories. Exciting accounts of new
ly discovered gold fields, continue to reach us.
Concerning Pike's Peak in Kansas, the Kan
sas Ledger says, "a considerable party has
recently returned from the mines, bringing
with them abundant evidence of the existence
of gold, in large quantities, in the region of
Pike's Peak the actual metal in considerable
quantities. They left the miucs when it seem
ed that winter was about to set in, fearing suf
fering during the cold weather." The most
enchanting story of all, however, is that of the
St. Louis Repxtllican concerning Arizona. Of
the gold, it is said that 150 men are digging
from seven to ten. dollars per day to a man.
The whole product, for two months, however,
is only set down at five thousand dollars. Of
the silver it is said that it is "in such abun
dance that it is at times knocked out of the
ground by the feet of the trarelers."
An Indian War, as wo have noted, promises
to lie among the settlers' troubles in the
neighborhood of Spirit Lake, the scene of a
massacre something over a year ago. We have
as yet no tidings of actnal hostilities, though
there are reports of outrages committed by
the wandering savages in the neighborhood.
Gov. Lowe, of Iowa, has taken the matter in
hand, ordering on a force for the relief of the
settlers, but with the expectation that the
general government will replace them with
its own troops. He has written to the Secreta
ry of War, giving him the details of the out
rages, invoking his interposition, aud asking
him Jto station fifty or sisjy men at Spirit
Lake on Little Sioux river. Gen. Jones has
also written to the Secretary of war, urging
his immediate attention to the Governor's
suggestions, and enclosing letters from the
captains of the Dubuque companies, tendering
their services, and recommending the accep
tance of their tender.
In Augusta, Maine, a paper tells a story a
bout a dance between a chap named Snelling,
and a Rackensack girl, called Big Sis. They
danced 7 hours and 57 minutes, when Big Sis
caved, and took a soat in the chimney corner,
fanning herself with a bread tray.
Skxator Hale ox the Message. After the
Preideuts Message had been read in the U.
S. Senate, and Mr. Biglcr had moved for the
printing of 20,000 extra copies, Mr. Hale, of
Xew Hampshire, aald that if the President
had confined himself to an exposition of the
relations of the country, he would not have
taken this opportunity to make comments.
But the President had abused his constitution
al perogalive, and gono out of his way to in
terpolate a history of Kansas not in accordance
with the truth of history. He did agree most
fervently in the President's gratitude that
Providence had interposed at a critical junc
ture in our allairs. . Xay, the teaching of Prov
idence had been brought to the President's
own State and town, and like Job, the good
man. he feels the stripes yet blesseth the rod.
Mr. Hale rejoiced that foreign affairs are so
satisfactory, but he had expected the Presi
dent would have enlightened the country as
to the state of our relations with Austria,
which required a new miuister to be sent so
immediately after the Pennsylvania election.
Even as the English maiden, Florence Night
ingale, who, with the plastic hand of female
affection, tended the. wounded, here we have
the President in a similar character, hovering
about tho battle-field to pick up the wounded
and send them to the Austrian hospital for re
covery. Mr. Hale then went into further re
marks on the subject of Kansas, the Amistad
case, etc., and defended his party from the
charge of being agitators.
