a very important bill, intended to My
ground for the negotiation of our vast
debt at a great saving of intereA, and
there seems but little doubt that it will
very soon pass the Senate. It is hoped
also, that it may pass the House and
become a law. Thete is no reaBoll why
our government should pay G per cent
interest with its vast resources and abil
ity to pay, when the great powers of
Europe negotiate their loans at a Inueb
lower rate.
Railroad Prospects.
While there 'vow seems no doubt of
the early completion of the Wellsboro
and Lawrence;ville ‘ R. R. there is good
reason to expe t that the Jersey Shore,
tl i
Pine Creak, an Beilido Road• will be
built at an earl ; ',day, if the owners of
wild to:lad. ca1.,1% tilt , tokne, Wilt (to
their reasonable part to make it a suc
cess. We see by the Potter Journal
that the Keatince Estate subscribed
•
10,000 Acres. Frain the tenor of a card
in that paper by Hon. John S. Mann,
however, we fear, thoe interested are
not asliberal as they should be. 'NVe
hope every man owning lands along
that line,. will volunteer a subscription
a 4 once before the opportunity is lost.
'The Day speaking editorially of the
project says: '.
"All that is required toensure the success ()film
enterprise, is the local subscription asked of 100,
000 acres of laud diens the line.. The owners or
contignoas lands can afford to diyide with the
company acre for acre for those femaining to the
owner will be worth from $lO to S.VO per acre the
moment the road shall be opened.
The grades of the proposed road are very light,
and the road-bed wilt be superb. Fifty ittile2 of
thii road will lie through a county almpst inac
cessible at present, yet very rich in mineral de
posits. In the time to come it will bo found
that the country west and southwest of Pine
Creek is rich in coal which may be profitably
mined. At ono point there is ft vast quarry of
gypsum, and iron-is found in every hill. Ores of
copper and lead occur in several localities, and
quarries of beautiful building stone are not in
frequent.
It now looks as if sixty miles of this road might
be built within a year. Nothihg can prevent the
construction of the entire line except it be the
refusal'of the land-Owners to do their part."
Later: It is expected that a bill will soon pass
the Legislature, transferring a large atnonut .of
If. B. bonds owned by the State to the company
to enable it to raise the - money to build this road.
The State is to be seeTbd by first mortgage of
the road. This will •it.sur success.
RETRIBUTION.
We'd° not believe in ,hatred or re
venge. We believe it is always better
to forgive, and, if possible, forget
Injuries done us, than to treasure them
up as a motive-power of revenge against
repentant mortals; but the wrongs of
centuries, heaped intd each day of the
year, carry with them a vengeance and
retribution which the tenderest forgive
ness cannot (trowel within the sour of
man the ability to avert or assuage.—
Vengeance may safelY be left with the
immutable laws of nature, which, soon
er or later, bring a certain retribution
for every wrong, and inflict the punish
ment upon all, in due proportion to their
share in the common guilt.. There is
One who is the Author and Finisher'of
all vengeance; and so it conies to pass
that no man 'can iktict it, or,. if he do,
yet be is a mere instrument in the bal
ancing up of rights and wrongs—con
trolled, if not directed, by laws which
he cannot change, but must obey, or
himself must be revenged upon.
The crime of slavery was the accumu
lation of the wrongs of .eenturies, in
volving; not only the misery and wretch
edness of its victims, who bent beneathl
'its. weight, but also the perpetrators
themselves, who, forgetting justice, in,
the exercise of power, suffered the re
tributive penalty which time never fails
to bring upon the heads of all who do
a wrong. In our own . country, the
wrong is not alone charzeable to the
South ; yet she suffered it to exist lon
er, and did more to perpetuate it, than
the North ; and in so far as she did so,
is her suffering the greater. Yet th e
North aided and abetted, long after her
conscience condemned it; and she ha' , s ,
suffered her full share of the; penalty.
.lidt she was saved the humiliation of
,defeat: not so the South. All tier
ditionsions are blotted out. A race of slaves,
not only freed from the chains Which ,
inhumanity had forged for them, but
made equal, before the law; to them li
ny more here, that one of the despised race
should come hero to be my equal; but I look up
on it as the act of God. Ho in Ills providence
alloped the w'rkr to take place; and it destroyed
the only blot upon the escutcheon of our coun
try, which wa's slavery; and the logical coneltt•
siun note is, that after having freed the slave, he
becomes a citizen : and when ho becomes a voter,
ho as naturallyibecomes the recipient of office.—
In 1861, in a report which I had the honor to
make, in which I recommended the use of slaves
in the army, I said the conete.:". ....
tan moment the slave becomes a :Adler, he be.
comes a citizen. So it has been. This is a great
country of ours; the negro did groat service in
saving it ; and I am glad this conclusion has
come.

THE TRAGEDY' OF LlFE.—Life Is a
monstrous disappointment and death
the only portal to peace. There is not
a day_ passes in which virtue does not
sell itself for bread ; in which some
poor, harrassed or frenzied creature does
not rush.madly upon death ; in which
the good .are not persecuted and the
weak trampled upon. Tragedies as red
as any hist - ivy or fiction ever painted,
are being played, and faces you admire
mask with smiles an inward torture
worse than the agony of the yack.—
Who has realized the fnlfillment - of his
early hope? Where life has not its
mortifieations, its bitter concealments,.
its studied eversions, poignant humili
aSions, its wild uneasiness, its wrestl
ings and defeats? But we represent
the fairest portions and the highest.
level of it. Beneath us is the great
mass of humanity, and they writhe and
moan, and weep; they toil, and starve,
and curse, and die. The world goes
rolling on as heedless of those who fall
as the,gale in autumn is heedless of the
stripes' from the trees, or branches it
wrenches away.— 11 7 . H. _Murray.
EinrCATION OF THE AGRICULTURIST.
—Denial Webster said, "No man is so
high as to be independent of the success
1?of this great interest;' no man isiso low
as not to be affected by its prosperity
or decline.- Tbe cultivation of the earth
is the most important labor of man.—
! Men may be civilized, .in some det+ree,
without great progress in manufactures,
and with little commerce with his dis
ta-ut neighbors, but without cultivaton
of the earth, he is, in all countries, a
I savage. Until lie gives up the chase
and fixes himself to some place and
seeks a living from the earth, he is a
roaming barbarian. When tillage be
) gius, - other arts follow. The farmers,
therefore, are the founders of human
b,
temera ce ; and that, in the use of ev
eryll rop r means, we will endeavor to
brill m nto a recognition of the claims
