Wednesday evening, August 12tb, for the
purpose of adopting 6uch measures as nnga.t
be deemed necessary for the construction of a
rail road from Ebensburg to Cresson station,
tpon the ennsyivania .uan .ivoau. ju
meeting was organized by the appointment of
EDWARD ROBERTS as Chairman, Vr
Wm. A. -Smith and Jons Lloyd, Secretarys.
The object of the meeting was fully 6tated by
Robert L. Johnston, Esq., and was followed
by Dr. D, IV.-Lewis, JohnFenlon, Esq., and
Dr. Wm. A. Smith, who successively also ad
dressed the meeting. - - -
On motion of R. h. Johnston. Esq., it was
then Retolved. That a committee of . three
persons be appointed to collect ttalistics rela
tive to the construction of the proposed rai
road and report to an adjourned meeting to
be held on Saturday evening next. "
In pursuance . of the above resolution the
following gentlemen were appointed said 'Com

On motion the meeting then adjourned,

We invite the attention of our readers to
the proceedings of the Rail Road meeting,
which will be found in another column of to
day's paper. It will be seen that our citizens
are in earnest in the matter, and fully deter
mined that tho Rail Road shall be construc
ted. We especially, recommend tho careful
perusal of tho able and lucid Report of the
CommittQ . to preparo statistics, &c. Altho
it will serve ta civo car triends abroad some
Saturday, August 15th. In pursuance of
resolution, the meeting re-assemblcd, and was
very largo and enthusiastic.
Tho committee appointed at the , former
rueetiBg made the following report, , which
having been read, was unanimously adopted,
aud the committee discharged :
Your Committee, appointed on last Wednes
day evening, to collect statistics bearing upon
tho contemplated project of establishing a
branch Rail Read from Ebensburg to Crcs
son, would respectfully present the following
rs their report :

into the resources of this region of
country, wo can still truly say with the "Queen
of th? East," that "the half hath not yet been
told." Nothing but the whistle of the 'Iron
Horso" is wanting to call forth the store's of
: untold wealth which have slumbered since the
' 'jriCrr.iog ttars sarg together," in tho valley
' and hills skirting the Blacklick, a few miles
west of town. It is certainly one of the rich
;c6t mineral regions in :the State, abounding
in iron ore and bituminous coal of a superior
qual'ly. -.We refer "those desirous of obtain
ing further information with regard to its re
sources, to our enterprising fellow-towneman,
. T. Blair Moore, Esq. , who can produce facta
nd figcrcs to prove that all we have stated
above is correct.
It will be seen by the Report of tho Com
mittee, that M?jor Thompson pafaed over the
Jefferson & Ebensburg Plank Road in his lino
cf hack, ten thousand passengers in one year
The superior facilities for traveling, which
a Rail Road would furnish, would double the
number in a short time. The committee ap
pointed to visit tho President of the Pennsyl
vania Rail Road Company is an excellent one,
and we have, no doubt their mission will be
crowned by tuccees. As the "Mountaineers"
. never do things by hajves, and as we have
l oth tho money and enterprise, (w mean we
tha people,) we confidently prophecy that the
Riad will be constructed. ,
. : The Difference. .
Three yean ago tbe Know Nothings were
loud in their denunciations cf .Governor Big
ler, because, although a temperate man, he
was opposed to the passage of a prohibitory li
quor law, and Mr. Pollock was presented c
the people as the "Temperance" candidate,
and a genuine disciple of Neal Dow. But now
I' tho ' boot is on the other leg; and the . same
c men ire the first to hurrah for Wilmot, per-
adventure, because he drinks whiskey,swears
and chews tobacco. Pray gentlemen, tell us
Iwby,' if it was treason three years ago to drink
whiskey and visit grpg-ahops, it is not so now?
Verily, consistency, thou art a jewel. By
the way, as' we understand our Know Noth
ing cad Black' Republican friends intend rev
olutionizing Cambria county next fail, we
wculvl adviso them to go to work at once.
It's a very cxier.fcive undertaking, gentlemen,
and with all . your, ability, and enterprise, wo
' have serious doubts that you will not be fair--ly'undor
"headway- with the work. before the
aeconl Tuesday of October.

lhe route for the proposed Branch is pecu
liarly favorable. There are no streams of
any importance to cross, consequently there
would be no bridging required. : The grades,
according to Schlatter s report, need not cx
cced 4o feet per mile, and this for only two
miles of the route, the balance varying from
a level to 25 feet per mile, and, on no portion
of tho road would deep excavation or heavy
filling be required. We are satisfied, from
an estimate made by a person thoroughly
conversant with Rail Road matters, that the
following would be the outside figures : .
9 miles of grading, at an average of
G000 per mile, $54,000
9 miles of Ballast, at 3800 per mile 7.200
9 miles of Cross Tics, at 2200 per.
mile, f " 6.000
Iron for 9 miles of track, . . 57.520
Track laying and back ballasting . 4,500
Engineering, &c, ' . 2,000
estimate is low can.be 'judged ' by " tho in
stance,that a single. firm, (that of the Messts.
Whites, V manufactured over a million : feet.

will be perceived, that your Committee hare

fcred keeping much below the mark, and we
feel satisfied, from the . experience of other
Roads, that, should the one contemplated be
built, our estimate of increase wul ' bo found
to be extremely low.
Jn our passenger estimate, we take tae ac
tual figures of the ' hack men The cumber
of passengers who have travelled in the hacks
alone, within the last threo months, is 3,209.
Add one-tenth that number lor persons, who
have travelled by other conveyance, and we
have a total of 3,586 : which makes the total
travel, in a year, taking the last threce months
as an average, n.a-i-. w 0 nave put it
14,000 even. We have only estimated the
increase of passenger travel at one-half the
present number. Few that we have conversed
with are willing, to put it so low, and when
we laKC into consideration, ine iaci inai iravei
always increases in proportion to its facilties,
we feel certain that we could safely , double
the number. -
.Thus far we have endeavored to show that,
from the amount of freight and travel which
would naturally pass over the' road, it must
prove a paying investment to the stockholders.
It remains to prove that it would be an ad
vantage to the Pennsylvania Railroad .Com
pany to aid in the construction of this branch.
H e would urge the following as reasons..
It would largely increase tbe amount of
freight and fare received now : by tbe road ;
for the increase of freight above noted, would
be a clear gain to the road, as now none of
this can be shipped at a profit, nor can it
likely for years to come, without an increase
of railroad facilties, such as we here seek.
And, recollect' the ; figures above do not ex
press the gains to the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company; for 4 the- greater portion of tho
freight would be shipped many miles over
their road,' giving them this additional profit.
; In relation to passengers, it must not be
overlooked, that the greater . portion .of the
travel, al least two thirds, would be from the
West, giving to the Pennsylvania Railroad
the additional profit of this number, passing
over the ten miles of their road, between
Wilmore and Cresson.
It is admitted by all conversant with tho
facts, that American energy and capital can
not overlook the immense mineral resources
of the Blacklick region, greater perhaps than
any portion of our State, if not our Union ;
and when that day arrives, which cannot be
distant, we shall then be nine miles on our
way to the developement of this sourco of
wealth. Nor must we forget, that the com-
may it be before such another storm . of fan-
aiical excitement thall convulse the nation !
Long may it be before the nation lashed into
fury by the artful declamation of ambitious
demagogues, shall seem agaia, even for a
moment, to contemplate the destruction of tho
Constitution under which it has grown and
prospered so wonderfully. '
Long may our rulers bo like tho present,
ram of wisdom men of. peace, under ' whose
wholesome counsels the ship of State shall
ride safely over the rocks and whirlpools which
have wrecked nations and empires of old.
So long as our people cling to the great prin
ciples of Democracy o long as they cherish
feelings of brotherly love for every citizen so
long as they respect and guarantee an equal
ity of rights and privileges so long we may
well hope to see our starry flag undimmed,
and the glory and power. of our country still
increasing, -. t
ty was only 450. The Tlon Thursten Polk
was the standard bearer and candidate for
Congress, and the gallant manner in which
he conducted the canvass and led on the for
lorn hope, endeared him. to the Democracy
of the whole State, and was' one cause, among
others, why they subsequently crowned him
with the highest political honors in their gift.
Since then the cause of Democracy has been
onward in St. Louis. At every election its
vote has steadily increased,' until on the 3d
inst. it reached the snm of nearly five thous
and. ' ".. )

At 8 per cent, 10,497 60 : . ; .
which, deducted from 21.740 80 .
leaves a balance of $11,243 20, to be ap
plied to the running expenses and repairs of
the Road 1 .' ' , . ';.
In the estimate of the present freight, your
Committeo would state that the first and sec
ond items are the actual figures of the books
of the Pcnn'a. Rail Road Company, at Wil
more Station. The third item is based upon
the statements of those engaged in the oak
business and the fourth is the estimate of one
well acquainted with the business of the Alle
gheny Portage Rail Road, and who has, for
many years, been engaged in the lumber bus
iness, shipping his lumber almost entirely
over that Road. : j .
In making our report of the estimated in
crease, your Committee have taken into con
sideration the fact, that were a Rail Road
made from this point to Cresson, an outlet
would . be given to an immense quantity of
lumber from 'the Cherry Iree region, which
pletion of this portion of the. road will rapidly
hasten this anticipated event. ......
In conclusion, your Uomunttee would, re
turn their thanks to Mr. Kerby, the gentle
manly agent of the Pennsylvania Railroad,
for his kindness in permitting them to exam
ine his books, and thus enabling them to ob
tain reliable data. . . . .
All of which is respectfully submitted, and
your Committee ask to bo discharged. ...

A Sad Record Out of the fifty-nine Sen
ators during the last Congress, (there being
vacancies from Indiana, Missouri and Cali
fornia,) no less than five have already passed
away, viz: .Messrs. Clayton 01 .uciaware,
Bell, of New Hampshire, Adams, of Missis
sippi, Butler, of South Carolina,' and Rusk of
Texas. This record is without a parallel in
the history of tho country. t
Republican Incoxsistekct. The Topeka
Constitution, which the Black Republicans
desire to make the fundamental law of Kansas
when admitted as a State, allows white male
persons to vote ; also Indiana who have adop
ted the habits of white men, but, excludes the
negro,' . They , have thus practically adopted
the principle of the Drcd Scott decision
against which they clamor so loudly.
Buchanan The Bedford Gazette in
describing the visit of Mr, Buchanan to the
Bedford Springs, says : "The President
looks remarkably well, and walks as firm and
erect as he did. twenty, years ago. He was
cordially and enthusiastically welcomed to
the Springe by the immense audience, in a
beautiful little incident which occurred at the
dinner table an hour or two after bis arrival.
When seated, his honor, Judge Burnside in
the name of the ladies and gentlomen present
extended to him a cordial welcome ; and when
the President rose to reply, (which ho did in
that corteous, easy and dignified ttyle so pe
culiar to himself,) the entire company rose to
their feet as a testimonial of their high respect
for the greatest statesman " now liviDg The
effect of his speech was such as to make all
feel entirely at home in his company ; and
without any reserve, alleoon made his perso
nal acquaintance." "
JtST If all our readers . who are troubled
with Liver Complaint, Jaundice or Dyspepsia,
will read the advertisement in another column
of Dr. fc-andford's Invigorator, and then do
as we have done get a bottle, we should not
see so many sickly, half-dead despairing peo
ple as now meet our gaze at almost every cor
ner'for there never was a remedy of which so
much is said, and that it performs eo ' nearly
what its proprietors say it will do. It come
to us so highly recommended that we could
not fail to try it, and a trial has convinced us,
without a doubt, that it is the best "family
medicine in use. We take it for Headache.
Sour Stomache, Eilliousness, and any of the
little bodily ills that are common; and it does
produce a pleasant state of feeling to the sick,
and what is better after using it a few times
these little ills grow less and less, and there is
a prospect of being entirely free from them by
a continuance in the use of the Invigorator.
Now we wish to impress upon ' our readers
with this, that the Invigorator is a medicine
particularly adapted to family use, aud where
there are children subject to little diseases, as
all children are, it is invaluable, and saves
physicians' bills, and an untold, amount of
anguish both to mothers and their littlo ones.

the uncertain floods of the Susquehanna-
u hat lumber is now forced into market in
large quantities, and the sale of it is effected
at ruinous prices. Indeed, so unceitain is
everything connected with the sale of sawed
lumber in that region," that there is not the
one fourth the -amount manufactured that
would be, under the certain facilities a Rail
Kail would afford. We have now a Plank
road completed to that point, (with the ex
ceptiou of only six miles and an extensive
lumberman from that portion - of the county
intormed one of your Uommittee 'that he.
himself, would transport one m illion of feet
hy this route were the Rail Road completed.
Moreover, your Committee "; have X now ' tho
names of over' 60. persons qwning;"6awmills,
who could ship their lumber advantageously
from this point. Were they to manufacture
but 100,000 feet each in a season,' it w6uld
reach ths large aggregate of 6,000,000 feet
to be transported over the Femi a. Rail Road,
which now Jinds another route; or ts not
brought into market at all. - This it crease, it
will be obeo' ved, would not benefit the branch
owners of land along the route of the road viz:
John Williams, Augustin Durbin,' Ezekiel
Hughes, John Evans, (Smith) Daniel Farran,
Peter Kaylor, and Enos M'Mullen. '
