-i RAILROAD MATTERS.
"We hare just learned thai a portion of Hie
Jamestown and Franklin Rail Koad has been
placed cti.K-r cntrct and that the woik will
Commence iunnv-diatelv and be poshed vigor
ously forward until the road is completed to
this pUce. We also have information that the
Pennsylvania K R Company, is making prep
arations to boild a read from Tyrone to con
nect with the Jamestown mud at this place,
thus opening a new and direct route, from
Philadelphia to the Laie Shore through Frank
lin. We hare already spoken of the Mahoning
and Frencbcreek Road, which we think is
likely to be boilt t so early dav, connecting
at this place with the Jamestown and Frank,
lin, and also with the Franklin Branch ol the
Atlantic and Great Western Koad. So it
would seem . that Franklin, so long cnt. off
from corarantneation with the werld, is like
ly to become a gTand Railroad center or junc
tion. Persons wishing a pleasant, desirable
place to reside, or do business, would do well
to visit Franklin." t euango Citizen. .
The present wo regard as a highly . propi
tious lime to secure the construction of a
Rail Road, not only to our own town, but to
the great Oil Region of Western Pennsylva
nia, as well as to form a direct connection
v;th Lake Erie at Cleveland, by way of the
Bonds referred to in the above article. The
Oil trade of itself is one of such vast magni
tude, partieuliarly since it has become au ar
ticle of export to Enrope, that it can no long
er be overlooked by Philadelphia, and if that
City understands her own interests in the mat
ter, she will at once lend her aid in poshing
lorward to a speedy completion the Tyrone
and Clearfield Rail Road to the latter place,
and the Western Central from Clearfield to
Ftanklin. We hope our own people will waken
up to the importance of this work, and do all
they can to draw proper attention to projects
which, if carried through, must prove ol in
calculable benefit to this section of Pennsyl
vania, and particularly to her great commer
cial metropolis, on the Eastern seaboard.
Democratic state convention.
A call is published for a State convention
of the Democracy, to meet at Harrisburg on
the 17th of June, to make nominations for
candidates for Governor and Judge of the Su
preme Conrt, signed by F. W. Hughes
Chairman of the Democratic State Central
Committee.' We quote the concluding para
graph : (
- The Convention will also give expression to
tbe sentiments of tbe Democrats of the State,
who while their policy would .have averted
present disasters, will, nevertheless, devote
tho historic patriotism of our great party to
rescue the Constitution and the Union, one
from usurpation, and the other from final
disruption..
"Thtir policy!" What policy does Mr.
Hughes mean ? Is it tho policy oi Mr. Buchan
an, who surrounded himself with traitors, and
suffered them to rob the Government and
tear the Union to pieces before his eyes, he
all the time protesting that ho bad not the
power to- prevent them 7 Or is it the policy
which Mr. Hughes announced in his own fa
mons resolution, to permit the work of seces
sion to go on without resistance until all the
South had taken itself off, and then "switch
ing" Pennsylvania and other Northern States
out of the old ioto the new Union'? By either
of these plans the country might have avoid
ed war, and that "great party" might have
continued to ply its dirty vocation as the serv
itor of the slave aristocracy for a long time
to come' The ambition and ''historic patri
otism" of tlie Hughes wing of tho party have

THE "SITAIKS" IN COUNCIL
On the 1st instant, the enemies of tbe Ad
ministrstion held, at Independence Square,
Philadelphia, a meeting, which appears to
have been conducted under the personal su
pervision of the notorious Bill McMuIIin. Its
purpose was to denounce the course which has j
been pursued in relation to Yallnndighsra.
"The people ofthe United States," ssy these
sympathizers, "have been insulted, and the
laws of the land and principles of human
" liberty trampled on by the military arrest,
" trialandexile of Clement L. Vallandigham."
and valiantly resolve that it is "a violence'
to which they "will not and ought not to sub
i. tniT' that "the remedy for it is in the bal
' lot-box, at the coming and rapidly approach-
ing election, when by the votes of an out
" raged people,' Slate authority will be restor
" ed to the Democratic party, who will nac their
" poicer, thus quietly and constitutionally ob-
tsined, to protect State rights ; to rebuke and
"check Federal usurpation ; to secure the per-
sonal immunity of individuals; and c'oni
" mence the reconstruction of the Union."
All of which means, in pHin English, if It
means anything at alt, that, if the Democracy
can elect a Goverrror in this State, the' will
maintain the right of Secession ; opposl" the
United States Government in its efforts to
crush the Rebellion ; and prevent the arrest
of men who preach treason and counsel resis
tance to the conscription law ! and that, too,
it is plainly hinted, by force of arms ; for,
mark ye, they say, they "trill use their power, '',
to carry out their views set forth iu the reso
lution quoted.
The Press, in noticing the meeting cditori-'
ally, says :
"The only thing remarkable about the
whole demonstration is the air of timidity
and cowardice that characterizes the leaders of
what is kn iwn as the De mocratic party. The
active men of that party remained away. For
some reason or other they seemed to dread
the presence of the people on an issue of an
tagonism, to tbe Government. Judge Lewis,
one ol tbe boldest and ablest of the Democrat
ic leaders, and who is always brought forward
by his party when courage' asd capacity are
necessary, soems to be the only prominent
Democrat who curae forward. ' We saw noth
ing ol Mr. 'Vjtte. That ambitious and unscru
pulous demagogue is so buisily engHged in
beg -riii 2 a nomination, which has thus tar been
scornfully refused him, that he cannot afford
to place I; ini si-If on such a decided pa It form.
Mr. Cassidy was not to be seen, nor any of
his friends of the old Don 2 las organization.
The old patty was absent. We saw nothing
of the brave and troe luen of the past. A
leading Know-Xothing of .New York was an
invited guest, while another Know-Nothing,
in i the person of Mr. Randall, was uninvited,
or did not see proper to come.. To give it
respectability, a long forgotten and venera
ble fossil was exhumed, in Clearlield, and
can-fully brought to tbe city, in the person of
Ex Governor Bigler. This notorious politi
cian, who belongs to the ponderous tribe, of
which J. Glancy Jones is an approved speci
men, might have remained in the obscurity
with wnich ne sought to hide hs weakness
as a senator and a governor. Then we have
Mr. Charles J. Riddle, a gallant soldier while
the army was in winter quarters and an elo
quent civilian as soon as the campaign began,
and the leadeis of The Club in the persons of
Mr. G. W Biddle. Mr .McCall, Mr. McMullin,
and Mr. IngersoM, took posession of the meet
ing. Mr. orthrop made an ecstatic speech,
and a young gentleman fresh from the lyceums
and with rome fame us an orator upon such
sbstt uce qustions as, " WJielhe r Jnliu-. Caisar
was greater than Napoleon," or Did the in
vention of steam benefit mankind, '? &c, read,
a tirade upon the President. These were the
leaders of the great meeting.
"It seems that great men from other States
were besought to cotue, but in their stead
they sent letters. Mr. Fernando Wood de
clined to attend, in a remarkable epistle. He
regards Mr. Vallandigham 's srrest as "a neces
sary war measure," in which we perfectly
agree, and recommends a frank peace policy.
'Let us, therefore r he says, "stiike at the
cause, and declare for peace and aguinsf the
war !" This sentence contains tbe creed'. ot
the whole party, although Mr. Wood must re
ceive the credit of being its boldest apostle.
We take Mr. Wood's letter, and answer every
speaker with the words we have quoted. "Let
us strike at the cause,'? says Wood and bis
Philadelphia satellites say "Amen." Mr
James Bros, in imitation of Dogberry, finds
the arrest ot Mr. Vallandigham to be "bur
glary" while tbe renegrade. A. Oakey Hall,
of New York, makes bad paraphrases of good
poetry. Mr. Carrigan writes that he is under
the care of the doctors, and sends long, blat
ant epistle, which seems to . reflect upon the
efficacy of his physicians. . We believe he
makes an allusion to "the shadow oi the .ball,
Sec," aud other original thoughts of the same
description. The greatest letter of all, how
ever, is from our magnificent friend, the Hon
orable Richard Vaux. . He could not come,
but he wrote the Democracy many truths.
As Mr. Vaux is the Adonis as well as th A
pollo of the Democratic party, his words are
inspirations. -, He anounces the . startling fact
that "History repeats itself," and that the bal
lot box is "the ark of the covenant." Our
wonder is that he did not call it Hail Colum
bia, or tell us something about tbe "Land of
tbe Brave jaud the Home ol the free," or
lovely woman." Af'tr Mr. Vaux, we have
twoepistU-s from gentlemen calling them
selves George M. Wharton and J.Ottersou.'Jr.
They are very long.-1 .-.-.
; "A meeting like this will do the cause great
good. But it would be well to revise tbe cor
respondence in future, for such a letter as that
of Mr. Wood will go far to convince the peo
ple of the country of the real , nature of the
Democratic schemes againt the Republic.
These things are not intended for the public,
and the simple-hearted Mr. Dittman mast be
taught discretion in the futrue. . v-J : .

THE COPPEKHEAD CEEED.
The spiiit and temper oi the recent Copper
head meeting in New York, to sympathize
with their leader Vallandignam can be bet
ter understood from tbe following specimen
bricks, taken from the report of the proceed
ings of that assemblage. Every man who was
engaged in uttering this treasonable langnage,
is a leader in the so-called Democratic party.
We submit these sentiments, to the careful pe
rusal of our readers. Mr. J. A. McMaster, re
cently of Fort Laytayette said :
"That Vallandigham tea imprisoned on ac
count of his virgiu love for his country ; that
there is o question about the titiependenre of the
Southlbecause Southern freemen will take care
of that; that the South is free and independ
ent now; that the question is about the lib
erty of tbe freemen ot the North; that those
liberties must be preserved ty organization ;
that those organizations ought to be of a mihta
ry character, with commissions from Goo. Sey
mour." .'..-.-'.- . . : -;
A Mr. Tharin, southern rebel Irom Alabara-;
a, probably visiting the North as a spy, and
receiring much attention from the Vallandig-;
bain Democracy of New York, proclaimed
-' "That the liberties of the North are lost,
and that we should redeem them as our fath
ers did ; that he impeached Mr. Lincoln cries
of hang Aim" befoie that American citizen
ship which he had outraged, and in the name
of Washington, whose seat he polluted ; that
in the name ot C. L. Vallandigham he execra
ted Mr: Lincoln; applause; that the prorost
Marshals may find their offices less convenient
than lucrative, $c.
A foul mouthed orator, named Ed Blank
man, directing the torrent of his profanity
against the conscription act, declared thit
Under the theory of the war adopted by the
Jldministration, he would be d d if he thought
they (the people) wuuid go to the war-", ;.,
This declaration was received with voci
ferous applause and cries of "you may bet
your life we won't." The speaker father said
that , . . .
. "If Vallandigham was brought through the
city of New York on his way to Fort Warren,
they would get Judge McCnun to issue a writ
of habeas corpus, and he'd be d d if they
wouldn't have hint out." : ' .
William B. Kankiu, formaly a shyster lawyer
ir Philadelphia, and one of the leaders of the
Keystone Club, bul now a lounger about tho
Toombs in New York, said in his speech :
"These people at Washington had dated to
sieze the great champim of constitutional rights,
V. L. Vaf laodighaiu cheers for Valiaudi
hatu and it was, therefore, time for the peo
ple to buckle en their armor aud resist such
oppression." Applause.
A Mr. Mullaly "declared the war to be
wicked, cruel and unnecessary, and carried on
solely to beuefjt the negroes, aud advised re
sistance to conscription, if ever the attempt
should be made to enforce the Jaw."
Isaiab Ryndders recommended his hearers
to "brave the bayonets of tbe Admrnistration
tbe men who nn away at Fredericksburg !"
Daniel C Birdsall, remarking that he "had
weighed well all the words tnat he had utter
ed," announced that be was "in favor of tcf
ping out and repudiating the debt contracted by
the Government for carrying on this war-'7
Such appears to be the creed of Copperhead
"Democracy" in the Norhern States. They
do sympathise , with the armed rebels, and
are ready to aid tht-m by resisting the laws ol
tbe Government at the opportune moment.
Loyal men of ail parties should be on l tie a
lert, and use their every influence to avert
the calamities of civil ivar which these Cop
perhead leaders are threatening to inaugurate
in our midst- .
THE PENNSYLVANIA EESEEVE COEPS.
Yesterday evening, about dusk, the Pennsylvania-Reserve
Corps or at least what is
left of tbe division passed up the avenue.
The scene presented as the gallant men march
ed along to the sounds of martial music, was
both pleasant and sorrowful: Pleasant, be
cause we knew that they were again marching
forward with cheerful hearts and in tbe best of
spirits to once, more confront the tnciu-ies of
their country; aud sorrow lul . because these
barely two thousand , men , were ail that were
left.of; what at one time was a corps uuiuber
iug fitteen thousand men, alike the pride and
boast of not only their own State but of tbe
nation. .Originally, organized as a purely
State military body, after the first battle of
Buliliun they were called to the defence of
the capital, a call which was responded to with
the greatest alacrity, as any one who was here
in t hose dark : days will bear witness to. . . Un
til within a few months they have bee-i in ac
tive service, and they have made their marks,
and gained imperishable renown on almost ev
ery battle-field . from Drainesville to Freder
icksburg. . , , j . ; v ... ': ... t
, .The active service they had undergone and
the numerous shocks of battle which they, with
our other brave boys, heroically met, reduced
their numbers so low, that on the representa
tion of their Governor and many generals who
had witnessed their deeds, they were removed
by the War Department to . this city for the
purpose of allowing them some rest and to re
cruit. Since they . have been stationed here
they have conducted themselves as brave sol
diers do, and won merited , encoruiunis from
our citizens. .. .. , .-
On their passage up tbe avenueloud cheers
for Grant, JTlooker, McClellan, Rosecrans,and
other generals were heard continually aloDg
the line, and in several instances were re-echoed
back by many on the sidewalk and in the
windows of the different hotels.
, They left the city last evening, and alfhough
it will not.be politic to name the place of their
destination, yet we are sure their friends are
confident they will be equal to any task the
Government assigns tbem. The Reserves are
under command of ' Brigadier General Craw-
foid, a gallant officer, who has often faced the
foes of his country and who was among the
large number of officers who were wounded at

SECRETARY SEWARD AND THE TROOPS.
Oa Friday May 29th, tbe 19th N. T. S. V.
were mustered out ol the service at nburn.
They were addressed by 3lr. Seward, who was
making brief visit to bis home.' We quote a
portion of his speech : ', f f f
. "Civil war divides the community, even in
those places where the government retains its
aceustomed strength and authority, into two
classes. One that has cburge adequale to the
crisis. the other that has not. Those that have
the courage, in other words tbe virtue, ade
quale lb the crisis rush to the field.
"In this laige assemblage which has come
out to greet you, or to. witness .this solemn
ceremouy of your discharge from the pnblic
service, both these classes are found. We
cannot distinguish, nor is it worth our - while
to attempt to distinguish the on- fiotu the
oth-r. By their actions hereafter they shall
be known. Those who are wise and virtuous
will be found urging you to return to the field,
and persevere until the battle is won, aud will
spire no pains, g-iing themselves, if possible,
to recruit tho ranks which death honorably
nn-t has decim-itrd- Those who are otherwise
will he found s ill caviling alioiii tiie causes
of the ' war, about the responsibilities of its
unavoidable defeats, about the distnbui ion of
honors for the victories gloriously won ; tliey
will be-found accumulating treasure with one
liand and storing it away from the tax gather
er with-the other, that they may enjoy it alter
the patriotism and heroism ot better men than
themselves have, secured the triumph which
nil) enable them to enjoy it in safety.
"To the young men.' who I see around me
I have to say it is for you to choose to which
ot these two classes of tlie community you
will attach yourselves. , It you are prepared
to join the former th greeting you give to
these our brave neighbors returned from the
field, are as honorable to yon as gr.itilying to
them. If, .n the tti her hand, you thick, more
of your likes, more of your fortunes, more of
your personal expectations than you think of
your country, yoi.r salutations are a mockery,
and the sight of these war-worn veterans ought
to strike you with contusion and shame.".
- Mr. Seward closed these pungent remarks
by .saying that if he was within the age and
the conditions of service he would not have
appeared on that
'Occasion unless it was to tike lip the fire
lock that one of these our honored neighbors
has now come to lay down. : 1 love the mail
that will not suffer his name to he wrvtten up
on the register of the Provost M.ir.shal. It is
bad enough to be balloted for as a candidate
for a civil office. Au honest and loyal man,
however, must submit to that sometimes. On
the contrary, my neighbors and countrymen
should never hare a chance to cast lots over
me as a Conscript, so long as th-y should leave
me at liberty to volunteer." :
He added: "In my childhood I followed
with lore and veneration the steps ot thehe
roes of the Revolution.' I saw that love and
veneration become the. universal sentiment of
the American people, so tar that he who had
differed from tbem or opposed them or denied
the homage of his respect was deemed unwor
thy to be an American citizen. Such love
and veneration begin to cluster upon yon to-'
day, and they will i continue ' till they reach
such a bight that when the humblest of you
finds his last renting place, here or elsewhere,
under the restored and complete authority of
our glorious National Union', bis son will be
deemed to have in his fathers fame an Inner
itnncei richer than the treasure that can be
transmitted to his heirs by the. wealthiest a
niong us. Our posterity will look out foi heirs
of the soldier and' cover them with tlie grati
tude which the father's life-time was too brief
to exhaust.
THE BERKS C0UNIY C INSPIRATORS.
Messrs. Honor, Oxfnrlder, Phifbert. lllig.
Seidle, Reed and Moothart, charged with for
ming secret societies in Berks county, Penn
sylvania to resist the Government In the ad '
ministration of the laws, contrary to an act of
Congress, passed July, '1862, were arraigned
on the 2d June; before the United States com
missioner at Philadelphia, for a final hearing.
The rffjcers of the law have hd a very diffi
cult time in procuring the attendance of wit
nesses, and. in some instances. Were resisted
with snch force and mf)acs that they had to
flee for their lives. Society seems to tie al
most unhinged among the ignorant or super
stitious portion of the people of Berks county.
The hearing was conducted in (he new room
ol the U.iited States Court; the place being
pretty well crowded viih people from Berks.
Amongst the evidence taken was the follow
ing : ' . . .. - , , ,
Miss Sarah Bauer,, sworn. -r-I live in Lower
Heidelberg, Berks county; I know Huber; I
was at a house where h was ; a private meet
ing was held by lam'and other men; did not
see Oxenrider.and Moott. art there ; I think tlie
meeting was held in the first part of March ; I
was in the'kitchtn when the people' came in
and went Inio the room ; there were about for
ty persunslhere ; heard. Uu iter. tell tlieiu that
if they should get dratted they should get pis.
tols and resist being taken; tins was alter
they were sworn in; I did not hear all that
was said: they were standing with their hands
uplifted; .1 wus looking through a knot hole
in the door ot the room ; Huber was standing
by a table six feet long; he was talking tigainxt
the Republicans beard him say if the Seces
sionists were ever to coma North, then the
members were to raise their hats three times ;
this would lead to their recognition by the Se
cesiouists," ..and their property would not be
disturbed. If one member met another he
should. say U O. and if the other man was a
member he would reply R D. -The grip was
given to each man by Huber, and he explain
ed It. (Here witness shook bands with the in
terpreter, to show the sign. It seems to be
the pressing of the forefinger on the wrist a
bout where the pulse beats. Huber said that
whenever a meeting was desired to be held
they must write to bim, and lie would come.
They must not mention anything about the
meeting, - but merely say 'in their note the
words, "Comejind pay your debts." He would
understand by this what they meant. I kne
nearly all the men who were there, bere the
witness mentioned over the names of a nnm-:
ber of them ; they all lived in fhe neighbor
hood. - At the time the meeting was field,
when the men were sworn, I was seated on a
wood-chest and looked through a knot-hole ;
I could see pretty well.1 but could not hear
everything that was said ; I don't kn aw, bat I
suppose the bole is in the door yet.
Jacob Werner sworn. I live in Berks coun
ty ; I know Jacob Huber; be has been holding
meetings -up there; I gave my name to him
'and paid my dollar and went into the secret
meeting, in the kitchen, at Benneville Oxen
rider's ; this was in Aprillast; I was at two
meetings; I did not hold tin my band like tho
other members, and therefore do not consider
that I was sworn in. The oath that was ad
ministered,, was that the members must go a
gainst the emancipation proclamation, against
the confiscation bill, and must resist the draft;
I did not take the oath. The signs 'are," that
when you meet a person yo'u are to, extend
your right hand a little forward ol your bodv,
and with The Index finger point toward the
ground. Another sign is to place the same
finger on your eye brow, forming a semi cir
cle with the thumb, letting the latter rest a
gainst the cheekbone below 'the eye. The
witness here explained the grip.Vhich was' so
satisfactorily developed by MissBaner. ss sta
ted above. The pass-word was H. O. R- U-5
I forget what II . O. means, but I think that
R. D. stood for Richmond j the oath commen
menced as follows: I'oit do swear by the Al
mighty God.
The Commissioner "briefly summed np the
evidence that had been adduced at the several
hearings, and disposed ofthe case as follows :
I Harrison Oxenrider was required to enter bail
in '$1,(100, Dr. F. lllig SI. 500, and Huber $3,
000, lo take tbeir trial at the next term ot the
U. S. Court. Mr. Philbert'was discharged
conditionally, that he enter bail to ppear as
a witness at the trial. Messrs Moolhsrt. Red,
and'Seidle were discharged unconditionally.
Smc days since a colored woman, at Beau
fort, S.C., while engaged in her duties wash '
ing, found a conical bomb-shell, and not know
ing what it was, thought it w ould make a good
stand for ber - wasb-keitie. She accordingly
lified the kettle lrom' the fire the bottom
covered with sparks and sitting it on the
shell, caused an explosion, by which she was
knocked down and recieved a liad wound on
her arm, while her clothes disappeared very
mysteriously. .-
