On the last day of this Month, a vote is 'to be taken by the citizens Of Buffalo,to de r cide the question whether the city shall, in 'its corporate capacity, subscritie $200,000 i to the Buffalo; and Washington R. R. It is generally understood that if the vote re lisults in favor of making the subscription, the foregoing sum is but a Small amount in / comparison to / what the city will do towards • building this , road. It is believed by those who are familiar with:the affairs of the Buffalo and Washington R.R. Co.- that if the election results favorably to the road. work will becommenced immediately along • the'line of the road, in the State of New York. It was the original intention of the I Company to build, the road to Emporium via the Allegheny river and the Portage t creeks. A very earnest . and persistent TS- I fort is being made by parties in the interest of other routes to' divert the attention of , the company' from their original purpose; and make some other points on the line of i the P. & E. R. R., their southern terminus. The arguments used against the route originally intended, are that the road does not touch coat basiqattywhere on its line, t'at no dependence can belplaced upon the h C rueron colliery, on account of a - very li iced supply at that point, and that if the object is to teach coal,the shortest and most ,;direct route to the coal basins of Elk county !should be adOpted. , '. We know it has be come quite fashionable of late,for those,who are: Qperating ;in Ceal in - Elk county to ridicule ; the idea of there beibg anycoal de posits irl either M'Kean or Cameron cou*- ties.. Now we are jtist as confident as we can be Now reality of any one thing, that if,the Buffalo.;; and Washington R R.-Co., should finally adopt the Potatoe Creek, •Red Mill / brook and Driftwood route to Eni poriam, ithey -would traverse coal fields enough, ;and reach thein by the easiest 'of grades, to supply a dozen markets like Buf falo with! the choicest bituminous coal fora thousar.d veais.! . All this could be done without crossing, the Elk county line. But e have no disposition to change the com pany from their. original purpose, nor 'to d6tmet c pne iota from 'the merits of the old • route. The Portage creek summit has always been estimated as one of the easiest ii!l this country to cross, which is a gre4t desideratum in the bnilding of railroadi. This route traverses one of the most popu / ions aitd thriving regions of this county,and 1 wonld be the 'outlet for a large , portion of the clitizens Of Potter county, including CondersPort, the County seat. As to - the eoal it would Feadli,- we' hare everreason to believe, the supply ample for ages to come. Besides thei immense operations now being carried on by the Cameron Coal Company, other cotn i panies are developing their lands,, and-in.sever-al - instances havd found Splendid. depoki, ts of_ coal. A. very rich vein 'llia Ncentlf been ' found on the • hetulwaters of ffune.s Run, where coal was I , linever before supposed to exis-t.' Another 'strong argument in favor of this route ip, I tbat it is of great importance to Buffalo to trmake the distance to the Anthracite Coal Ifiellds,of this State es short as possible,and l the Shamokin Cdal can be reached via the l'Portage Creeks 'and the R I &E: R. R. i - many miles less than by any other route. As before stated,We can see no good reason why the original purposes of the l Company shoal not be carried out:—„ArcKedan ilinar.

BY A.LICX CANT. the Common Council COUDERSPORT, POTTER COUNTY, PA,,, TUESDAY, I \ lllY 31, 1866. with several other citizens in i company have just returned from an inspecting visit to the coal region about Emporium. Pa. with which it is proposed to connect this city by the building of the projected Buf falo and Washing,Lon Railway. t The report which we give elsewhere this morning of ' what the excursionists saw,must satisfy every intelligent person - that it is expedient not only for the business men manufacturers and merchants of Buffalo to individually, I , contribute means to the building of the road, but for the city of Butralo, in its cor porate capacity, to give large and liberal assistance to the enterprise if its realization can be secured. The only question as it seems to us,is with regard to the securities for the full carrying out the undertaking. , About these it is, of course necessary for the city to be careful. It .must not corn mit itself blindly to a large subscription, which may -be expended without accom plishing that which constitutes its only motive for subscribing to the capital stock of the Road. It must have some guarantee that its money is to go, not to the begin ning but to the completion oft the work. Its aid must be given coriditionOly,and the conditions, as we look at the matter should be bubstantially these: 1 1 Ist. That the issue and delivery of city bonds in aid of the road shall be at a cer tain rate per mile of completed ',road. 2d. That the building of the road shall be carried on, from this end. t - If such a farther guarantee is practicable it would be well for the city to have secu rity from the company for the refunding of the money invested, in case the•road shall not be conapletecl to Emporium before 'a stipulated periOd of time. IL i 4 said that the Company will tbe prepared to give such security. ; If so, there can be no dif ficulty--2no hesitatiop. - ' 1 Upon such conditions with such guaran tees, the city should be Willing to giste its aid td almost any eeded amount to the proposed Buffalo and Washington Railway. The country to be opened to ps by it is one vast repository of both coal and lumber. There is no estimating the -Wealth to be gained by coming into communication with it.---Bufalo Expres, - June 28. . AL WOMAN'S 'CONFOSION.: A lady- correspondent of • Tke Ilan. thus de.lares a seetet. WhiCh 'id rather surprising, and at. the same time very satis factory, if trite: We must put in..the res ervation of a douht, because we have sup posed with the rest of the world that dress proceeded from an innate taste of the ladies that led to an 'out cropping'of pretti ness,•thus believinz. with the poet that "beauty adorned looks twice as weir. SPAT IVO3E,'AI.: DRESS. ,"The true explanation of the prei-alling ex nara;,,,aneein costume is that women dress for one anether."--Erchcrage paper. , WOnen dress for one another! for one another ! ! That statement is all nonsense; women do not dress ,for out - another; we dress for you, gentlema - n-;--far: you alone.-- It is a pity to spoil a pleasing delusion,but it is a duty to correct errots. We hear and read a great deal about the sinful and reek- l!as extravagance 'of women. "The Riot of the Women"—an article setting forth oar fearful extravagance and its no . less feafnl consequenoes--appearud, quoted from the Round Table, in nearly every paper pub lished in this State. Indeed, one has only to'pick up a newspaper Or a magazine to' find something oU the never-failing topic— "the extravagance , of the women." - I - for one am tired' of - so much censure, and think the time , has - 001130 . when justice demands that we, investigate the causes of sticli`rninous - effects. I think enough has been said to rouse women to reflect on - the evil of her ways, and at the same time Say a word occasionally in self defer - ice. Bettritig these terrible accusations in silenbe is equif alent to acknowledging. them.to be deserved, To add injury to•injury, gentlenien after vouching us with oni- own isms and: follies through: the press, .vott sum. theta all ,in: the one wordi.
