ANDERSON, Sir: I'he (iovernor iu his message recommended general laws and to avail special legislation as much as possible. No reasonable man will di*. fioto tlie fact that there is too much spe cial legislation, the tendency of which is to destroy.—or at least to impair the eflK cieney of even good laws. If .paupta tSiiu lv they can get legislation to cover up, or make legal, //-legal acts iu official ca pacities aud otherwise., will they not be Hess ea-reful in their mauncr of doing business ? For eiauijilc, take the local bounty law of Butler .county, who will not say, that it would have been better for us to have nooepted tl e general law and to have strictly and rigidly adhered to its provisions ? No one man or dozen of men are responsible for the local bounty law and numerous supplements thereto in Butler county, the workiugs of which, have caused considerable difficulties iu some townships and uucli litigatiou.— The people are responsible—all are more or less responsible. When we have .too many supplements to our bounty law now, will it mend the matter to iiave mare ? This is a question for the people to consider. I have been led to writo as above from tho nuuicii us applications from different townships and burougha in our county, for changes in the bounty law, as to their respective districts—probably the appli cations are all right—l would say, how ever, that questions of this kind—espe cially if power to levy and collect additional taxes is asked for—should lie well tua turod at homo, anl if afttr that a petition is sent, let it bo so strongly sign, ed that the Legislature cannot mistake that, it is the will of the people. Any other course is dangerous to the peace of any neighborhood or district. The following bills of a general ur local nature affecting our county have been read in place in the House, to wit: "An Act repealing the act passed last winter grant ing an annuity to soldiers of tho war of IKI2 or to their widows in necessitous circumstances—this bill has been par. tially considered in the House and 1 think will pass—'lie law aforesaid has been greatly abused through the instru mentality of agents, so said at least by the Auditor Gencrtl, who recommends its repeal. Tho law strictly construed is a good one, the repeal of which, while it would take the annuity from many that are worth thousands, would be taking the bread out of the mouths of many old soldiers sod widows of such, that depend mostly on said annuity for support. If it is repealed without some provision for the needy, I must say, Shauie! on the Legislature of Pennsylvania that can vote half a million to the rich citizens of Chambureburg, and do such a thing:— Also "An act to enable Will. S. Zieg> lor to act as Justice of tho Peace in the Borough of Butler while residing with out the limits of said Borough. Also, an act relating to bounties in Mercer town ship, Butler county. Also, an act relating to the pay of county Auditors, making the same equal to the pay of county Com missioners. Aiso, an act relating to boun ties ih ,Marion township, Butler county. More agaiu. Yours truly, 11. For tho Citizen. A leu Hurds to Kiumu. MR. EDITOR, Sir: — l wish the favor of a few words to Emma. And lest I might to misunderstood, I wish to sav, first, that I am opposed to a license law, but I olten feel disgusted at what I woukl call the paroxysms of a brainless mo rality. I have no doubt you are a bird of fash ion, and just now, that it is fashionable to practice one evil and cry out against another; we fiud you in your clement, as if fashion was tho sole arbiter of right and wrong I do not wish to deny you any of your ,rights, but I merely wish to quicken your conscience. Before you made this assault, did you not hear a still small voice iu the Bible Class, say : "Emma, if you are without siu, throw the first stone." .Did you hear anything about Saxonburg? About false appearances and artificial manners. &c ? Ah! Emma* I fear there is a mote in your eye, and a very disagreeable task it would be to take it out, fox you have a bad .breath ; it smells of a ivced more fi thy than either old Bye or old Coin. Where did you leave your pipe? Ah.! don't open your mouth quite so wid.j I see your teeth are yellow. Where did you leave your snuff box ? It appears toouo that is not tho same face you had yesterdaj; per haps you were out in the rain. .Now Emma, don't get angry, cut reineu)be r that fashion will never make wrong right,' neither will any profession hide these filthy practices in the eyes of the sober thinking christian. You will fail to show me where there is any more harm in licensing a man to sell whiskey than in licensing a man to sell tobacco; and yet men who arc .fashionable pillars in the Holy Temple, sit around the wend altar with their cigars, and their quids of to bacco in their mouths, aud talk about the great evils of iuteuiperan?e The sight is one of the sore places of the earth - Some of these foul-mouthed apostles of intcwpcrancu have spit on Jilt: stove, anil the poisonous perfumes impregnate the atmosphere of this I'topiitns dark as the heme of the lost, with the smoke from the in tilhs of a <k«en sti-nts ; and here is the place that the topics or popular reform are to Lc discussed by these de votees of the most filthy of all fashiona ble indulgences; like -tnoked bacon might write upon their foreheads, dead, but not buried. Now. I nni inot complaining of tJicse men expressing tjicir opinion on t#ie Vis eense question, but what I do say, It docs not look well for a man to argue tem perance and anti license with a cigar or .quid ol tobacco in his mouth. As the •question n«w stands tobacco is the greater and whiskey the less evil. I am confi dent 112 a right, when i say, that 8100, has been expended for tobacco, in Butler county, for erery-dollar that has beou expended fur whiskey. More Ma has been destroyed, ami more misery caused by the filtfay weed than was ever paused by the licensed bar. You may sec boys every day upon the streets of Butler, so small, they have to put skates onto sec into the butter crock, and yet those smoked rats have a plugin their poctets and a cigar in thtir months. I know a poor woman that smokes her twenty cents a week or §10,40 a year*— there are one thousand such women in this county and they suiukcßlo,ooo worth of tobacco every year—they all belong to the church and are goo l missionary wo men. The School of a ■eertaiu township thought flio township too poor to have six months school, yet 140 per sons in that district consume twenty cents each per week in tobacco, making per month, which is precisely the wages given a teacher; thus tho amount of to bacco used iu ti!;c district would koep four schools open tho entire year., acd create a lund to purchase a libriny. Now, let us be reasonable; I see no good in a man strainiug at a glass of " Beiber's Rye," and swallowing a plug of "Dog Leg." You talk of clearing the forest, cultivating the swamp, &c; well it takes money to do all this, aiiid if you take (lie money expanded for tolniceo in Bufler county, it will build one mile of railroad every year, and in eighteen years without any other sacrifice or lax, you would have the cars in Uutler town, and by Unit time the whiskey drinkers will have saved enough to put on th<? rolling stock. We may call it tho Butler county w : is key and Tobacco liailroad, aiid if no one would be benefitted by it, we feel confi dent no person would be tho worse of this economy; but the health end morals of the community would "be improved. I never could have much confidence in a preacher that would stand up in the sa crcd desk and tell his story with i quid of tobacco in his mouth. I heard one talk onco about the millennium. I just thought, will such a dirty tobacco spitter as you, ever be permitted to see the glory of that day? or will its brightness be ob» scurcd by your foul tobacco smoke ? I< once heard a mother as she sat rocking iug her child in her arms, tali and la ment over the heathen mothers offering up their Imbes in sacrifice to idols, and as the black and poisonotn smoke aseouded from her huge pipe, I thought this smoke represented the health, tho education and the life of that ihild, and how small the diffcrenco .between tho sacrifice of the hcathon and christian mother. Emma, I hope you will not smoke when you get to be a mother. tIOiIN. Feb. 11, 1807. For the Ciliron. JLRE. EDlTOß: —Seeing several com munications in your columns, and th e author of tho last, wishing to hear from other town; hips, I hope that a briof ar ticle from Winfield will be read with in* tercst by almost all your readers. The township was named for<*ne of the great est furnaces of its day, but like many other great manufactories or the same kind, has gone to ruin; but tho township is hero, aud was as well represented in Canada during tho war, a« any township iu tho county. As for towns it cannot boast; the only one worth note in located on the road leading from Pittsburgh to Kittanning; it is a pretty tost placo, and largo plenty for the size of it; it contains two stores, but as for workshops they are scarce; it can boast of one fur establish ment that keeps constantly on hand, furs, such as Raccoon, Opossum, &c. Ladies from the surrounding country supplied at all times, and orders from a distance promptly filled. It has two churches in its suburbs, one fine M. E. and one Cum berland, but alas for it, to use tho com mon by-word, it is "played out," the building has gone to ruin and 1 will never tell you where the members went. Our schools are going on as usual, paying plenty of school tax and receding no benefit; I do sot pretend to say that such is tho case all over the township, but 1 do say, it is our awful fate nevei to have a teacher that can control our school or conduct a school as itshoul I be. As for Railroads, we arc expecting to h;ar SOOTS that the contract is givcu, of our roail fruu Fieeport to Butler, .which I think will come up Little Buffalo Creek. Suid stream runs right through tho one corner of our township. I think the in-/ ducements are such as "will insure us the road on the abova named route. As for oil, we feel alrnoet certain we luive plenty of it, bfft we aro going to wait uufil oil demands « highor price; we have ono oil well down sows ninety or one hun dred feet by a Pittsburgh Company, near our township line, bill the company (ailed or they are waiting on the gas to fhiw the oil, and I if there is as much gas under as there is oa the surface of the surrouuding territory the oil must come.

JANE. Brkckksriuue on the Poutkvu. Situation. Tjif. Magnanimity of the North.—"Burleigh," the New Yoik correspondent of the Boston Journal, communicates to that paper tho following: "A geutlcmen of wealth and position in this city has just returned from Europe, where he has been spending two years with his faiuiiy. lie hail repeated inter views will leadicg rebels abroad, Mason, Sl : dell,,lJreck(;siidgoand others. Mason and his crew he represents as defiant, re bellious and insolout. But Brcckcnridge was iu au .entirely different frame of mind, lie made no concealment of his opinions, and feelings. lie said the South had attempted a (evolution. They had thrown everything they had Into the contest. That they were more than w,hip ped, they were subjugated and utterly ruined. That by the law of nations and by the laws .of war, thejr had no rights. They wene at the mer,eyr of the conquer* ors. lie said the magnanimity of the North was unparalleled. Tha history of the world would be searched in vain to discover such clemency on the part of conquerors as Congress offered to the South after involving the Government in such a terrible conflict, with so awful a sacrifice of treasure and blood. lie was astounded at the blindness and madness of.the South in not accepting the liu* niauo and morciful provisions«f the Con stitutional Amendment. lie assigned as a reason for aaot coming home that ho was waiting to see what disposal was to be made of Jefferson Davis, as be con sidered his own fate to be involved in that of ihe chief of the late Confederacy." Tiif. Will. —A little Irish boy, goins; to school with his Bible under his arm, was met by a minister, who asked him book he had there. "It is a will, sir," said tho boy. "What will ?" asked tho minister. "The last will and testament that Je sus Christ left to me, and to all who wish to claim a title to the property therein left," said the boy. "What,did Jesus Christ lea'e you in that will?" "A kingdom, Bir." "Where does that kingdom lie ?" "It is the kingdom of heaven, sir," "And do you expect to reign as king there ?" "Yes, sir, as a joint .heir with Christ." "And will not every person get there as well as you ?" ' No, sir; none can get there but those that claim their tittle to that kingdom upon the ground of the will." Indeed, you arc a good little boy; take caro of that book iu whicrti God gives you such precious promises; bcrlievo what he has said, and you w.(ll be happy here and hereafter." (<ood Words for tin' Ynnkcca. A highly imaginative Trans-Atlautio geographer says the London Telegraph, nas lately informed the world that Ameri ca is, or shortly will be,a "oountry bound cd on the north Arctie Circle, on the South iiy Eternity, on the East by the Rising -Sui*, and on the West by the Day ol .1 adgmetit. There a »»-t of bitter and bilious gentlenten, chiefly of the Tory persuasion, to wl»»ni this k «d of patriotic imagery is gall aud worm wood. They nrouiisarawe because Amer ica is big. aud becncseshe uses the laughs able big expressions. The mal reason why they hato her is because her Govern rneut is so free, and the success of it so wonderful; but, -since it does not do to confess these facts, they a'e always carping at her faultj of manner and styie—a practice which is about as use ful as to rail at tho Allegheny mountains for being huge and crauuy. For our part wo experience no more surprise or vexation at the hyperbolies of our de scendants beyond the Atlantic, than wc should at teeing a likely lad split bis tronßcrs in growing, oi a fine, healthy baby reach his plump arms out for the :uoon. The thing is naturiil aud ITI n satisfactory with tho young giant wo have bred; and England, the mother of empires, ought to boliearUly pleased and amused at the glorious gasconades of her mighty child. Is she to be au elderly coquette, and vex herself because her sons outride her, and htr daughters shoot up with a beauty and vigor that rc.nind her how she ages? she ought if she were honest and hearty, to be gla I and proud of her youngstcia—the Vke <*f whom the world never knew—to knit them to her self in bonds tfiimi love, an 1 aim at making out of them *n Anglo-Saxon family of empires which should girdle tho world with the language of Shakes pear, aud the happy influence of the little matron island ! We like to read these ridiculous sublimities, wherein our impe rial cotckereis crow their selves nigh .off their legs with lustiness around the old IJri'tanie hen.
