; A New County Project.
" A movement for a new county,' or for
annexation to Cleardekl county, was in
augurated at PhilipsLuig, on Monday,
March 2tst. TLe following account in re
ference to the project te from the Journal
of last week :
''Ou Monday evening last a meeting was
held in tiiis borough at the store of G. fc.
Flegal, to introduce a movement for the or
ganization of a new couuiv, with Pbilips
ourg for the county seat, or, otherwise, to
petition the Legislature to have a part ot
Rush township struck off from Outre and
aanexed to C e irtield county. The majoiuy
ot our cituseu.s are iu iavor ot one or the oth
er project. (Some are of the opinion that it
is a feasible project to organize a new coun
ty, to include the territory extending from
the ulatr county line, along handy ridge,' to
the head waters of the Black Aiosbaunon,
thence across Moshannou to the high ridge
called the first axis line of the Allehaoies,
and alcnif tt at ridge, by Turner s tuuimit,
to the upper waters of Clearfield week, at
the Cacibita county line. On an examina
tion of the maps it is believed that the re
quisite number of square miles would be in
cludui in this natural boundry, and that
Ijss than one-tenth of the population of ei
ther Centre or Clearfield county would bain
cluded therein, thereby, rendering it unne
cessary to resort to a vote ot the people in
either Centre or Clearfield. . By showing
these facts it is believed the Legislature
would honor the petition of a people so re
mote and cut off, by natural barriers, from
their present county town, and so unani
mous in favor of the project. Further, this
district is destined speedily to become a
populous mining district, deiuandieg a
thorough home government, where business
transactions can be promptly administered,
their violation checked and puuUhed, and
industry encouraged. .
If the organization of a new county is im
practicable, then let us have secession and
annexation to Clearfield. At present it
takes as much time to go to our county
town and return as to go to Philadelphia.
A quick trip on business requiring oniy fif
teen minutes in an office, will require an
expense ot about ten dollars, or else we mut
adopt the economy of the Scotch highland
er aud take "a hunk ot bread and meat" in
your pocket and eat it by the wayside. If
annexed to Clearfield county we can go,
transit business and return tlie same day,
with but Jittle expense, except hotel bills,
which are a lu-'e steep. We arc of opinion.
then, and'itaouears to be the prevailing one
with ourcirizens hero, thaf we should spike
for a new county, and n we shall fad in
that, then to go in for annexation to Clear
field. A committee has been appointed tc fur
ther the project and wc shall probably soon
hear from them.
This movement, on the part of, our Phil
ipsburg neighbors, docs not surprise us in
the least. The great inconveniences to
which they are subjected in reaching their
present county seat is well known' to all.
Besides that district of country lying west
of the mountain!), was never intended by na
ture to be a portion of Centre county. Ge
ographically it belongs to this county, and
should originally have been attached to it.
And we hope, if Philipsbure and Rush
township are cut off from "old Mother Cen
tre," they may be annexed to Clearfield.
Thi.s in our opinrn, would K preferable
to iho- oiauUaiiun of a pew county the
citizens of that section thereby gaining all
the advantages ot an easy access to their
county seat, without beioic subjected to en
ormous aad burdensome taxation for the
purpose of erecting separate public building.
Advice to the Democracy. -At
a mooting of the Democracy, held in
Philadelphia, on Saturday evening, March
l'Jth, John Cochran, K.-q., a prominent law
yer, delivered an address, iu which he ad
vised "the Democracy to make a
energHtt;, p-fiiic eTorl to xccure the 800. 000
rofcM that will laeeitultly he incorporated
info the voting population of' the country.
He was tired of stale issues and constant
defeats. He believed in starting equally in
th fight with the republican . It wai not
policy or good judgment to throw away the
na;ro vote, lis show j1 that with the nsgro
vote aain-t the Democratic party in Phila
delphia, icmilil be imoosulle for them tit
carry any of the wards except the Fourth.
He concluded this notable speech in these
words; " It seems to me in the face of these
facts, that it is tho duty of the Democratic
party to accept tho doctrine of negro suf
frage, and do as Virginia did iu her last
election, use the common sense plan of recog
nizing the question as settled, and beyond
profitable political division; for by this
means they elected two Democratic Senators
and a majority of the delegation in Congress,
and by this means toe can regain our lost
position, and place this Government where
it ought to b; in thj hnuli of the Demos
ratic party."
North Carolina is a trine more at war than
she was during the rebellion. Then she was
a peac5 State, and, being at war with both
sides, was comparatively in a sta:e of peace.
But now the killings and whippings are so
numerous that one would suppose that most
Sand hillers who deserved whipping, or
whom any body ha 1 any desire to whip, had
set it, and that the rest were all shot or sat
isfied. But this is net the case. Governor
Holden calls for United States troops to hunt
the Ku Klur, and the, Ilaliegh Sentinel,
orgaa of the party that goes by the name of
Democracy in the - Pitch Pine State, propo
ses that Gov. Holden dissolve his Union
Leagues, have a parley "with the King or
commander of the Ku-Klux;" that the
Governor shake hands with the King, and
the King shake hands with tho Governor,
and that they "both agree to dissolve their
accursed oath-bound secret s.wieties." Such
a truce would leave the State at peace one
half of its people undir the command ot its
Goven or, and the other halt under the
King ot the Ku KIux" Democracy.
"A lucky fellow is Stanley Miller, who
purchased lot No. 194 in Osceola, as we
learn from the Clearfield Journal, for the
moderate sum of $128, and disposed of it
the same week for the snug little considera
tion of 510. Real estate in Osceola must
have been subject to quite a rise." I'nl
ipsburg Journal.
Certainly, Mr. Journnl. Osceola is a live,
go ahead town, and is trying to put on city
airs, while you continue to plod along in
the old beaten path of "nod anger" times.
That's all.

Correspondence.
Grand Rapids, Micil, March 20, 1870.
Editor of Jocrsau Dear Sir :" W ith
your permission, I will present to the read
ers of your paper a little description of
Southern Michigan, and also of the lloosier
State, the prosperity of which we look to
with much interest especially those who
are connected with the lumber busiuess.
Taking the cars at the Lake Shore and
Michigan Southern depot, we leave the"Val
ley City" with her population in the North.
After passing through a sparsely settled
country for some 35 miles, we begin to no
tice an improvement in the farms and coun
try, until we arrive at Kalamazoo, 58 miles
South from the former city. This is one of
the finest villages in the State, containing a
bout 10,000 inhabitants, and surrounded by
as good a farming country as can be found
on this Peninsula. Several of the principal
streets have been laid with the Nicholson
pavement, during the last year. The im
provements speak well ot her inhabitants,
which are seldom excelled even in much larg
er cities. Changing cars here we take the
Michigan Centtal, and after several hours
ride on one of the best roads in the State,
and passing through a very beautiful coun
try, we are surprised to find ourselves at
Michigan City, 85 miles from Kalamazoo.
This city contains some 5,000 inhabitants,
bounded on the North by Lake Michigan,
on the East and West by high Sand Bluffs.
Nothing very attractive to a stranger, in the
winter season, is observed in this place.
Some 40,000,000 feet of lumber was landed
at the harbor during the last season most
of which was distributed through the coun
try South. (
Not making connection with the regular
passenger train, wc took an accommodation
which, very fortunately for us passengers,
had a conductor who relieved the tedious
journey very much by hit kind attentions
and information respecting the country
through which we passed.
Ou neaiing the old Tippecanoe Battle
Ground, he called our attention to a natural
curiosity, an oak tree, about 12 inches in
diameter, grown up about 4 feet high, turn
ed at right angle about 16 feet and grew in
to another oak forming a complete arch,
and one tree from the two trunks. It is
j supposed to be an experiment of the Indi-
aos at an early day. For seventy miles
South of this city we have an air lino Rail
Road. More than half of this distance the
country presents one general appearance.low
swamp prarie, with only here and there a
farm aud a few houses at the several Rail
Road crossings, looking at a distance .'ike
small islands on the great ocean. .
Lafayette is the first place of importance
after leaving Michigan City on the L. N. A.
and C. R. R. A farming country surrounds
this city which, with her manufacturing es
tablishments, makes it quite a place of bus
iness. - I have noticed some 20 large ice
Vwmi - Lwt5 ;icJ wttu Ice lor the Southern
market some being shipped to New Or
leans. The Wabash and Erie canal running
from Toledo to Terrc Haute passes through
this place.
Indianapolis, the next place a: import
ance, is one of the largest inland cities in
the West. Eleveu Rail Roads centre here
in one depot, making it quite an important
place from that fact aione. Business pros
pects are moderately fair, and the city still
growing. Here I obtained a pass to Louis
ville, Kentacky.by paying $5 00 10S miles
distant.
Louisville is a place too wclUnown to at
tempt a deacrij.Uon pf it. However, itUi!1
be well to mention, there has not been a time
si.ice the war thattho Rail Road companies
have handled so much freight as they have
within the last few months. About one hu$
dred teams are used in transferring goods
across the river, and ftill the warehouses
were filled with freight waiting shipment.
The new Rail Road bridge which has just
been completed, will make quite an iniptove
ment in shippin? gwds, and especially on
cotton, making its way to the Eastern mar
ket by rail. Steamboat men were also very
busy. More inquiry was made as to when
goods would reach their destination, than
of the charge to take them.
After enjoying several days of this fluctu
ating spring like climate not altogether to
my satisfaction, however, for I had taken a
severe cold, and the first one I had this win
ter I arranged my affairs to start for home,
to enjoy the gradual growing warm temper
ature of Michigan, where I arrived in a few
days, by a circuitous route having gone
down the river some two hundred miles to
Evansville, and returned via. Terre Haute.
At the latter place the snow had all disap
peared, but on arriving at Grand Rapids, I
found the temperature had been to moder
ate to leave two feet of snow on the
ground, and was reported to be 4 feet deep
40 miles North of this a heavy snow hav
ing fallen ju-t the doy lfore my return.
The snow is. however, fast disappearing,
and we are looking for a rise in our streams.
The amount of lumber got to the streams on
the West shore will be about i less than last
year; but on the East, with tho logs, left
over, it will not fall much short of last year.
The arrivals at the different Hotels, foot
up several bun Ired per day. showing that we
are not altogether neglected by the traveling
public. .We have also been favored this
winter with several prominent Lecturers
among the number Theodore Tilton, Mrs.
Stanton, and Miss Anna Dickinson.
The latest sensation in this vicinity is the
conviction of George Vanderpool for the
murder of Herbert Field, both bankers of
Manistee. He was sentenced to State Pris
on for life. It may not be generally known
that criminals are not hung for that crime
in this State, as in the East.
Hoping, that if any of the readers of your
paper should visit this State, we aiay be fa
vord wiih their presence in the "Valley
City." I am very truly yours.

Paying the Pcblic Debt. ft i not by
any means so difficult a thing as many ima
gine to pay off the public debt. It can be
done within half an ordinary life time, "just
as easy as sliding off a log. " We have the
authority of art official calculation. we be
lieve,; that is a calculation made with great
care iiy a treasury otneer tanu any un
skilled in figures can verify it if he choise).
that an annual payment of $25,030,000 a
year, invested semi-annually at the annual
rate of six per cent, in a sinking fund,
would amount to the principal of tins public
debt, assumed to be $2,500,000,000. in
about thirty three and a half year?; $50,0: 0.-
000 similarly invested irould amount to the
same in twenty three aud a half years; $100,-
000.0 )0 in fifteen and a half years ; while an
annual investment, H' made, of $200,000,-
000, would accomplish the result in about
nine and a half years. No one will doubt
the ability of the Government to ' do this
and perhaps Anally it may. At present it
is a question of policy. There is doubt
whether it is better to take the shortcut out
of debt, or adopt the sometimes wise maxim
"the farthest way round is the nearest way
home. " :
AS Epidemic. The Huntingdon Globe
of last week says ; "A disease, something
similar tfJthe whooping cough, is prevailing
among many of the children in this borough
and vicinity, and some have died from the
effects. On Sunday a week (March 13th),
five children were lying dead froai this dis
ease, and since theu a number more have
died, and the total within three weekstuay
be estimated at twenty-two. The symptoms
of the disease are a cough. Which brings ui
a greenish phlegm, and ifthis is not removed
it goes back and settles upon the lungs,
causing inflammation, and the child at this
stage seldom recovers. One of our phji
cians informs us that the number he has al
ready treated for the different forms of th'isdis-
ease would reach about two hundred ; of this
number eight have died; so that it would
appear the infection has spread .with great
rapidity. A child attacked with this malig
nant disease should be at once placed under
the sare of a physician, as it left to continue
the chances for its recovery are greatly
lessened.
