It is needless for lis to speak in praise of this . number. It speaks for itself. Appointment at Hemlock. .- The notice which 'appeared in our paper last week of tlie appointment of, Mr. John Mullen, as Fostmaster at Hemlock, was premature. ' Mr. Mullen has not yet received that appointment. Some few weeks ago, tlie citizens of Hemlock and vicinity asked for tho appointment of Ca pt. ,IIenry Schnetberg, . who Las been Deputy' Post master at that place for t Ik-last year, and Las giv en general satisfaction. Among those who signed the application for Capt. Schnetberg, -was Mr. John Mullen. ' - Recently, the citizens in the neighborhood of Hemlock, having If arned that the appointment would probably be 'given to Mr. Mullen, and that Capt. Sohnetberg would lie summarily discharged. Lave remonstrated against the appointment of Mr. Mullen ; inasmuch as Mr. Mullen was not known to them as a candidate for the office, and he had signed the application for Capt. Schnetberg, they thiuk it singular that the appointment should be conferred upon hiin. . '- -r' ' ' - '' : : T ; This is the situation of the matt rr 4t present. The remonstrance was signed very numerously, nd sets forth all the facts, of tlie cose. Regret ting as we do that such is the case, we neverthe less are constrained to say, that in common justice the wishes of, the community, in which" tlie ap pointment is to lie made, should be regarded and consulted. The citizens of Hemlock have a per fect right to manage their own business. We jnv have more to say on t!iis matter. Blairsville Female Seminary. . We arc indebted to Rev. S. 1 1.

OO-Tbe Btard of Directors of the Sunbury and Erie Railroad Company, have unanimously elec ted ex-Governor BioLta President of that copora tion, in plxec of Hon. James Ginpcr, resigned. ' This is a nt admirable election. Governor Digler is the very man to .carry on that great public improvement with energy to an early com pletion. No lietter business wan could have lieen selected in the State, and the Director were fortu nate in souring his services.

Ileyer stated to the meeting ; that in looking over the proceedings of a meeting recently held in Johnstown, in favor of Conimaugh County had been represented as having signed a petition in favor of Conemaugh County :" This he positive ly denied and asserted that if his name appeared on any such petition it was a forgery. , lt , The, committee reported the following resolu tions wldch were unanimously adopted..- . .' : - ReatAced, That the erection of tho new .County of Conemaugh, is a project started by, and intended for tlie benefit of a few uiterevtcd iudividuals resi ding in Johnstown, injurious to the interests of all embraced within its limits,' excepting persona 'of that character, without merits of any .kind, un called for either by extent of territory, population, or delays in the administration of justice : and that we firmly believe that tlie Legislature would be guilty of an act of gross injustice to the citizens of the Counties to be embraced "within its limits by complying with th 5 demands now made by tho citizens of Johnstown alone. .''' 1 7 1 ' " Resvlced, That we fully endorse the resolutions passed by our fellow citizens at a previous mee ting ! charging George S.

" Rcsolccd, That we look lupon tlie charges made by citizens of "Johnstown, against citizens of Ebenssbnrg and vicinity for the -purpose of .sus taining and vindicating Gecrgo.S.

With them we can have, no controversy upon this subject, the r charges are .preferred by men Well known to "every citizen of Cambria County, whose characters for truth", and varacity stands as high as that of George S. . King, or his keepers, with them we can have no controversy tuiless tlwy admit that George S.

' ' "' :'v "'- - " " - RcsoJr'ed, Tliat it is untrue that George S. King was either nominated, or supported. s a new County man, and that the result if the election tJiows Uiat his fellow citizens opposed to Cone maugh, relied upon his honor and integrity,- in wlu'ch they have been biisoly deceived. ' The fact that not a single paper in Johnstown, during the poUtical campaign ever, agitated or a'ludrd to the question of a new County, ami that every friend of GoorgeS. King in that place, always depricated the idea of discussing that subject in the north of Cambria, sustains us fully in this assertion. ' - . Resolced, That we have too much confidence in the lionor, nd integrity of Hon. Wm. Daugberty, to believe that he would prior to an election, make any pledges calculated to injure any of his constituents without their knowledge, and that If such pledges were made they were obtained by misrepresentations. Wefeel therefore assured that he will when fully informed, not disregard' the interests and wishes of a large portion of those- he represents. . - ' . . ... r- - . : Resolvxl, Uiat wc consider the attack made upon the judiciary of our Cunty. as. unjust and ungen erous j only made o subserve a selfish object. Ye feel ourselves fully warranted in saying that life, libertyi and propcrt jr, have been as well protected here, as in any other County in the State. '. .- - : Rc4oUett, That we feel it our duty to appeal to the Legislature, to protect us from the 'attempts now making to dismember Cambria County ; an appeal warrented and; sustained by the fiict. that a majority of tho citizens embraced .in. tlie new CoHnty of Conemaugh do not desire jt ; tliat a majority of the citizens of Cambria are opposed to it. . . . . ," ' ' " '.' Resolced, Tliat in consequence of the difference of opinion - existing amongst the citizens of -'the different Counties to 1 affected by the erection of Conemaugh, it would be but on act of justice to those citizens, that the question be submitted to a vote at the next gener.il election for the purpose of having a full and fair expression of public opin ion on the subject.

The recent clectioa of Ex-Governor Piglcr a President of the Sunbury and Erie Railroad, will give a new impetus to that great work. Without any solicitation or agency of his own, lie was elec ted a manager of the rostd by the almost wnltni mous vote of the stockholders, ' and President by the unanimous vote of the managers. The press here, of all parties, has warndy approved hischv- . tion as one calculated to f nsure .the entire confi dence of the community, and it is hoped and gen erally believed tliat the distentions and diflii-uhies which have so long clogged anil impeded the ad vancement of this great enttTpri.se, will now l entirely removed, aud the iron link which is to bind us with Lake Erie and prove a channel for the conveyance .of the rich treasures of her com aierce to our port, bo fpeedily completed.
