Tbv dispatch busiuess in the crimi
nal courts here, in pretty much the same
style, and with as little ceremony, as a
mart salesman in the country, measures
off calico, or weighs out groceries. Io
many instances prisoners are arraigned,
witnesses examined and verdicts rendered
in almost as little time as it takes to pen
this sentence ; and it must le a remark
able ease that invokes lung speeches, or a
written charge from ths Court. Al
most any day, between ten aud three o'
clock which are ths Conrt hours row
die enough wonld be tried nnd sentenced
to fill oar county ju.il. Jinny of them,
from frequent practice, will manage thuir
own defence, and cross-examine witnesses,
with an ingenuity and perseverance quite
professional. Of courso, as ntsny variolic)
f human na'nre can be found here, as any
where else, and the study is deeply inter
esting. Many laughable scenes occur, but
occasionally tragical developments come to
the surface that nr.ke the heart aelie, and
kindle the deepest iudiuation For in
stance, the other day a married ecupli ,willi
bright, promising son, of six years were
arraigned for treating him with demoniac
cruelty, beating, stariug and freezing him,
ia hope of ending his life, bWt of imme
diate murder; and it was proved that his
melktr was in the habit of dragging him
round by the hair, and burning his flesh
with n hot iron ! The child was transferred
by the Court to better hands, and the pa
rental monsters held to answer for their
revolting crirua. The name of the ample
is Hammer. The Court house here L
fair match for the rickety old concern at
New Herliu, bat the great diversity of
opinion" as to the best situ fwr a uew one,
baa hitherto prevented all remedy for etils
which every body deplores. I gained ad
mittance several times as a limb of the law,
when the door keeper bad rejected me as
a witness en account of the j.tut inside.
From two to eight courts are sitti ng some
ten months in the sggrcgate, and the num
ber of lawyers is about 700. From these
these two farts you eau cypher out the au
Dual amount of ii'iHlion.
There is great excitement, on the tem
perance question. A fiery snd explosive
iudiguatiou meeting came off this week to
denounce the alleged treachery of Senator
Eli K. Trice, on the Maine Law question.
It seems they took him half upon trust
at any rate their expectations were not re
alised, but I have not been able to deter
mine how far he violated any " pledges."
The city is full of strangtn, and curios
ities among them the Siamese twins, with
two of their children they left tboir wives
at home ia North Carolina, to take care of
the " niggers" and plantation a woman
who weighs something less than 500
another about 30 inches high, 35 years of
age, sy metrical proportions, chatty, intelli
gent, and the mother of three children,
chips of tho old block and a Swiss wo
man with a long raven-black be ard cover- i
ing her face and chin. In the same eollec- j
tion ia a little chap in broadcloth, boots
and ruffled shirt, from Connecticut, 8 years
old, 20 inches high, aud weighing 12
pounds. He is talkative, and independent
u a Cbesnat street dandy, and makes a
foot print ju&t two inches long. A grizzly
bear from California weighiug 1G00 lbs., is
decidedly the most formidable looking
" critter" in this region. He is a monster
in bulk, more like an imprisoned buffalo
than a " bar," and I am satisfied now that
if encountered on hit native heather, tho
stoutest heart, with revolvers to boot,
would be justified in giving leg bail. Unite
the active ferocity of the panther with the
burly strength of a buffalo ball, and you
have agrixsly."
Feb. 27th. The rain poured down yes
terday in torrents, a deluge above, a del
uge below, with high wind, aud an extra
high tide. Towards evening it held up,
aud at the appointed hour I went, with oar
neighbor W. F., to Concert Hall, to hear
Rev. Dr. Duff, of the Free Church of
Scotland, now on a missionary vist to the
United States. But we found the vast
hall filled to suffocation, the doors closed,
and a crowd ouuide, and a police officer
informed us at least two thousand persons
had already been turned away disappoint
ed. Tho papers speak of his address as
lacking ia the graces of oratory and e loca
lise, but absorbingly interesting in its
matter, and the deep feeling, warm, heart
rait and improaaable, which characterized
its delivery. ,
The Spring business is commencing, and
already Market street is cumbered with
boxes of goods, by the hundred, daily.
Some weeks hence the rush and throng
wiu be at its height, and will doubtless
exceed all former years. The fact is, the
manifest destiny of this semi-rural village,
will rapidly impel it to the foremost posi
tion among tho great cities of the conti
nent. Its location and natural facilities
arc second to none, and in most respects
peculiarly it own. The New York con
spiracy which exploded at Erie thanks to
the outbursts of genuine American spirit
on the part of the overeiSu people"
! government and territory has already cre-
atcd an afmopplicre of renewed energy and
hope the uuLroken rail across the Alle-! a distance of l2 miles ; and that a comp
gbanies is centreing western travel here j any, composed of 1'emisylvanians prioci-
the early completion of the Northern ! pally, is now working on the 17 miles, to
Pennsylvanis, snd Sunhury & Kric roads ; Kluiira, noceary ! ftgrrenJcr complete
will work marvels aud twenty years
hence this city will without doubt number
at least one million of iuhaLitauls, if not
more. And this is a very sober estimate.
For people wake up nor-a-days,and" things
is working" in earnest ; tbey drive ahead
ao fast thit plcasaut day dreams have bard
wsrk sometimes to keep up with reality.
There is more real capital here than in
New Yoik, and it is at lost making itself
available in the right directions that is
good for both city and country ind with
a sale of the public improvements, next
yrnr, aud the general resources, industry
and enterprise of every body, all over the
State, as well as in Nebraska and New
Derliii, I don't know what is to hiudcr
us all from keeping step with Father Time,
as prosperously as a steamboat down the
Mu-siahippi in a Juns Dood.
I had a miscellaneous aMortineut of to
pics to touch upon, but I don't find them
at my Gugers' cuds just at this moment,
and at any rate I guess you will consider
this dtoe sufficient for tho present. I
sLall be off to-morrow for a day's sojourn
in the coal region.

Lewiaburc, Centre fc Spruce Creek
Railroad.
Agreeable to previous notice given, tho
citizens of Centre county favorable to the
construction of the Lcwisburg, Centre &
Spruce Creek Railroad, met at Millhcim,
Centre county, Pa. on the 21st Feb. The
meeting was largely attended, aud the
Railroad spirit seemed to bo aroused in
every locality in l'enns aud Brush Vallics.
Some of the most energetic and througli-
going commissioners of this important pro
ject, have, by their renewed efforts created
an excitement, which, if it produces an
effect at all meetings that will henceforth
bo called, similar to that at Millheim, on
the 21st, the reality of this great im
provement, speeding its course through our !
moontatns and Tallies, will at once opcl
every doubt from tho minds of those who '
yet seem afraid of ritking the smallest in
vestment. On motion of Capt AVm. C. Duncan,
the following dicers were chosen :
lion. Samuel Strodeckeb, President ;
John Darter, 1 lulip JJ. Slusser, Kobert
Smith, Kwi., John l'inkel, John B. llol-
Way, Jacob IIoslcrman,K;q., Jacob Yeag-
ley, Michael Stover, Adam Ilustcrnian,
Miehael Uebhart, l'hilip Musser, Henry
Feidlcr,Gcorge Swaitz, Dauiel Krenier and
John Krcmer, Vice Presidents; J. G.
Kurtz and D. A. KuLl, Secretaries.
Od motion the law authorizing the con
struction of said Railroad, and the report
of the engineers as published in the Lew
isburg Chronicle, wero read by Col. John
Itishel, after which Capt. Wm. C. Duncan
explained a map, (correctly drawn by him
self) showing very satisfactorily the ad
vantages this road would have of all others,
it being almost a strait course from the
city of Pittsburg to the cities of New York
or Philadelphia, and on the whole a much
sherter distance between the Fast and the
West.
The following named gentlemen were
then called upon to address tho meeting :
David Duncan, Esq., spoke upwards of an
hour in his usual eloquent style; Gen.
George Buchanan's remarks wero highly
interesting and to the point ; Maj. Johu
Ncff spoke in the German language in a
manner that made the building ring with
applause.
Committees were then appointed for the
three different townships to solicit sub
scriptions. .Vita Tounthip. Adam Ilosterman,
Robert Smith, Esq., Jacob Yeagley, Wm.

Uainet Townthip.Ju. P.Cobum,E.,
John Young, Jacob G. Moycr, John Hos
terman and John B. Holloway.
After a lapse of half an hour, the com
mittees were called upon to report. The
result was far beyond the expectations of
the entire meeting, nearly $9,000 worth
of stock having been added to the old
number of shares in less than thirty min
ute. On motion, a communication signed "A
Farmer," and published in the "Demo.
Centre Berichtcr," was read before the
meeting by Jas. P. Coburn, Esq.
On motion, it was unanimously
Resolved, That the proceedings of this
meeting be published in the Demo. Centre
Bericbter, and a copy of tho same be for
warded to the publishers of the Democrat
and Whig at Bellcfonte and the Chronicle
at Lewisburg, respectfully requesting them
to publish the same.

the Prohibitory Hill in the Senate. It was
on the 8th section, which authorized the

A Plot Exposed.
Washington, Feb. 23, 1854.
The extraordinary course of tho South
ernWbig,aud the remarkable changes and
subterfuges of Douglas, on Nebraska, have
been matters of profound astonishment iii
all quarters.
It tarns out that those twin brothers of
agitation, audacity and imperious misrule,
Messrs. Toombs and Stephens, of Georgia,
(avowed Whig Nullifiers,) are the men who
have instigated, nourished, aud finally ma
tured this nefarious scheme; and that
Douglas and the President are but their
confederates in the plot. Tho whole move
ment ha been veiled in obscurity, from
the fact that Douglas ha been made to
assume the position of leader in the trea
son. Many of our reader will remember the
most extravagant Georgia resolutions of
149-50, whose paternity is imputed to
Mr. Toombs and his ally, Mr. Stephens,
wherein it was announced that that sover
eign State would withdraw her representa
tives in Congress and take up her line of
march out of tbe Lnion in the event of the
happening of one or two cvenU one of
these being the admission of California as
a Free State, and the other tho passage of
the Wilmot proviso by Congress.
At that period, Messrs. Toombs and
Stephens were the rampant propagators of
the pohry of resistance to tbe Government,
unless its legislation accorded with their
demands for Slavery. It was within a few
month after the passage of those extraor
dinary resolutions, and but just before the
death of General Taylor, that theso two
gentlemen, accompanied by Humphrey
Marshall,Mr. Fillmore's Minister to China,
and one or two other gentlemen from the
South, proceeded to the White Houso, and
peremptorily demanded to know of Gen.
Taylor if he did not intend to change his
course respecting the admission of Califor
nia and the organisation of New Mexico,
accompany ing the demand with, sub
stantially, a threat to subvert the Govern
ment, if he did not consent to yield to the
insolent exaetions. They dared to beard
the lion in hi den. General Taylor's
memorable reply is well known. He felt
himself insulted and outraged beyond ex
pression, by their demands, lie indig
nantly drove them from his presence, in
language far more significant than polite.
His determined spirit was roused in all its
force by the scenes of that interview, and
they were all the theme of his delirious
momenta in his last illness, and undoubt
edly hastened his death. In reply to tbeir
insiouation,that tbe South would resist bis
administration, and that the Territory of
New Mexico would be invaded by Texas,
and thus become the battle-ground wherc
ou the South would assort her rights, Gen.
Taylor declared to them, in words of fire,
that if that contest came, he was deter
mined to do his entire duty; that if neces
sary, he would himself repair to the field,
and raising the standard of the Stars and
Stripes with bis own hand, would conquer
their traitor demonstration, or leave his
bones to bleach npon the plain. He after
ward scornfully added, that he " feared the
d rascals would back out." This
self-constituted committee of faction then
slunk from the old hero's presence, and
hied to thoir confederates, where a report
of their failure to intimidate the President,
was made in utter despondency at their
prospects. At that celebrated interview
with General Taylor, the domineering
spirit of Slavery extension was effectually
quelled. And if General Taylor bad lived,
we should have no subsequent compromi
ses, and heard no more of it brazen de
mands, its impudent threatcniogs, and its
infamous aggessions now projected. But
he died, and that spirit renewedly reared
its black head, cracked it lash over the
North, and strode onward to victory.
Such are the antecedents of Messrs.
Toombs and Stephens, touching tho im
portant movements of 1S50, so closely
connected with those of to-day. These are
the men who, professing to be Whigs, de
stroyed tbe Whig ascendancy iu Congress,
by defeating Mr. Winthrop's election for
Speaker in 1850, who made war upon Gen.
Taylor and his Cabinet, and who have been
the stormy rpirits of disorganization and
misrule, and savage agitation, from tbe
beginning of their career. They now ap
pear a the projectors and backers of a
bolder and more gigantic outrage than was
ever before hatched in their prolific nest
of evil.
Here ia unfolded tbe true view of the
Nebraska outrage, which has till now baf
fled all attempts to unravel it secret his
tory. That the southern Whig Senators
have consented to become tools in the hands
of Mr. Toombs, to be by him transferred
over to confederate with certain Demo
cratic leaders, for tbe purpose of striking
down the right and power of the North,
by the shameless violation of an ancient
and sacred compact, is monstrous. And
not more scandalous and astonishing ia it,
that northern Democratic leaden have
suffered themselves to be seduced into the
recommendation and support of these hid
eous project of southern disuniouists.
