Barrett, of Clearfield, to the position of Presi dent ot the eorpontion. which is to cm struct the connecting link- of the Atlan tic and Great Western Railroad, that is to pas through this central tier of conn, ties to reach the sea hoard upon its inde pendent line, is an honor conferred upon the right man. .ludgo Barrett, is theo retically and practically a business man fniniliar with the country and its in stitutions. A Pennsylvnnian by birth, young, healthy and energetic tin ndvo cafe nf internal improvements tins nev cr relaxed his efforts to have the central part ot the. State improved and her ex haustless mineral wealth developed With the advancement of the age. Judge Barrett saw the unbounded wealth that has ever remained hidden in the hills and valleys of the Allpghe nies, and with a determined will that the power ot monopolies could not con trol or overaw. he kept steadilv on in JiU exertions toconsumatca work which in magnitude will compete with any projected route contemplated. It is now very ulearlv indicated that ho will soon see the objectof his loftiest ambi tion carried out in the completion of this road. We repeat that the selection of Judge Barrett to lead in this stupendous un. dcrtaking was wise and timely. His legal abilities are a guarantee that the entangling meshes of tho law will not suffer the project to fail. lie has often successfully battled against the powers of corporations, and now that his posi. tion exposes him to the enemy, he will not wince or relinquish his exertions un. til he has filled the highest hopes of the company who selected him on the grounds of his superior skill in the man. a"enient of the work thus comteiupla t;d. The Jamaica Insurrection New Fact Coming out. The "Seotia" brings news from Ja tunica, of en oflicial character, which throws a deal of light on the plans and plots of the Rebels, showing almost beyond a doubt, ;hat tho insurrection was to be general, and that the exter. uiination of the whites was in the pro. gramme. The London Times pulishes several columns of official documents, going to how tho outbreak at and near King, ton was permature, resulting from the arrest of one of tho conspirators, who was to figure in a general rising of the natives on next Christmas day. A number of uieu (some of them of influ. ence) had been traveling the country for some time, addressing meetings on tho subject of the colored people's wrongs, telling them they were oppres. (ted and ground down by taxes : and this l.ad exoited tho people, and they deter mined to seize tho land from all land boi lers, white aud udorel, and. atrcr lilling all the males and children, to f'r.jre the women among themselves. A ) aiding man of this party was wanted f it some crime, and un an attempt being made toanest him, he raised tho revolt I i his district. Luckily f jr the people of J it u ilea ir wa permature, for, had i he natives risen all over the island at Christmas, the whiles an 1 better class ot colored people would all have been murdered. Should the negroes of the SmiIi bo given all the Radicals desiro I hre will b insurrections tlicfe before J-og f-j jailing t!ut of Jamaica. Demo. A HHl'liBI.lCAN OPINION. "Mark," the special Washington cor respondent of the Cincinnati Commrr i i'i, writes as follows about tho politi cal situation : So far the object of the present Con gress seems to have hern to humiliate the South, rather than to restore tins Union. Bitterness ami animosity to ward those lately in rebellion, has been made the test of Matemnrship, and he is most admired as a leader who is most uncompromising in his hostility to those whom we regard as citizens of a common country, if we arc not prepared to ac knowledge that the work of secession has been theoretically and practically successful. What tho rebels failed to do under Davis and Lee. Congress is striving to accomplish under the lead ership of Sumner and Stevens. What war failed to do legislation steps in to accomplish. Tho bloody strife of tour years, ending in terms of capitulation which stamped the victors as not less ready to forgive than powerful to over, come, falsified the olt repeated deten tion of our enemies, that the North ha ted the South. But, the foes ol national concord and unity now find in the halls nf Congress an echo to their worst, cal. ninnies, and a confirmation of all the assertion which laiu the foundation for rebellion and treason. A letter received a few days since by a distinguished member of the present Congress, from an old friend in the South, states that tho Southern people begin to believe that there is a determi nation here, to effect a pcaeccble disrup tion. This sentiment is expressed by one who knows whereof he affirms, and is fully competent to express the views of tho people with whom he ussociatcs. lie looks upon the caucus resolution of the committee of fifteen as a virtuel warning to the South that their repre sentatives are not wanted in Congress, now or at any other time, and hence he says, you will uot sec many of our peo ple in Washington this winter. And in what other light can tho dozen of bills and resolutions already proposed in the Senate and House bo regarded ? Neither the radical 'Unionists" of the North, nor the radical disunsonists of the South, who ate so happily playing into each other's hands just now, arc of the men who took active part in the strile closed last spring, and in this fact there is at least a seeming argument tor the repeal of the Congressional test oath. It is stated that a man not long ago said to General Joseph E Johnston, that he didn't feel whipped, and that Johnston asked him what command he had been fighting in. "Not nny," was the reply. "Well," said the veteran rebel, "I have been fighting, and I am whipped." So it is through the entiro South. The real Union party of the South is to he found among tho men i who surrendered to (i rant and Sherman j last April ; and the real Union party of i the .Moitli is made up to a great extent . of th men who fought at Ponelson and Vicksbtng nod Bbhmnnd under the Federal flag, scarcely one of whom will be found to endorse the ultra measures of the present Congress. Democrat. Popular Expression. Our readers are no doubt aware that an effott is being made by the present Abolition Congress, to enforco negro exuality upon the citizens of the Na. ttonal i aiutal, for whom Congress hab the right to Legislate, and having abol ished slavery against the wis h ofa largo 0 majority of its citizens, tho congression al effort now is, to make the whito in. hubitautg the equal ot the negro in degradation. Tho citizens fearing this, unanimously petitioned tho Mayor and city counsels to order a special election in order to test tho publio sense upon this point. Al election was held on tho 20th ol December, wheu over 7000 votes were polled, but only 85 were in favor of negro suffrage. The election in Georgetown stood 713 agaimt uegro suffrage to one fir it. This is also nearly a full vote. It is true tho Post master, Assessor, Collector and other Federal Office holders issued a procla mation a few days before tho election, calling upon the faithful to remain away from the polls tho blcediug Kansas plan r ."macled but notwithstanding this, a full vote has be-jn polled. Now theso samo Abolition cowards, writhing under their det'eat, are engaged circula ting petitions among Federal ofSco hoi. ders and the negr.ies, demanding Con gress to pass the law indicated, in the very face of popular dis-ent; and have filed an injunction against tho Mayor and Councils, restraining them from paying the late election officers, because, as they allege, Congress passed no law authorizing an eleetiou. aud it is there, fore illegal. The impudence of these Federal office holders aud the negroes in that city, is only exceeded by their legitimate Fat'ioriti crime, Johu Brown whose fanatical bravery, these cowards areafnid to immitate. We hepo Pies, ident .Jolins;n, will nay some attention to these dis. union oifico holders, and in the future mako merit, instead of i-loy. alty" a test and qualification for office. If those Federal office holders tell the truth, th.:re are but iit) "loyal" vo ters in the I i.strict of Columbia, o.j in Washington and one in Georgetown, aud on Christinas all the "loyal" citizens, we are informed, were driven out ot Alex, uiidria, by the streets being tilled with 'rebel" fcoldiers, who made day and night hideous, with their shouts tor Iitf. Uavis, Lee, Ilaiuptou and other rebel leaders. If there are no more "loyal" people in that town thau there iiro in tho towns just named, it would not take many "rubs" to frighten them. It is a terrible thiug that "loyal" pco. pie must be anuoyed in this manner. We hope tho uegroes will come to tho rescue of their dear f rieu Is.- ItyuLli. f.l III I Wll.

' ternoon, January 1st, an affray occured . tjctween imam n knight, ot tins borough, and a ulucksmith named Sam- ' pie, in which the former was seriously injured. It seems that, on account of a misunderstanding in reference to some work, the two met and quarreled, during which M'Knight used some very abn. sive language, which Sample resented by striking M 'Knight with a hammer cutting a severe gash above the left eyeand fracturing the bono to such an extent that several pieces had to be ta. ken out. M'Knight is getting along as well as could be expected, considering the dangerous nature of his wound. 0 injury, although serious, is not considered fatal. A warrant was issued for the arrest of Sample, but he had left for parts unknown. Raftsman's Journal. Accidental SiiooTixa.

The Erie Dispatch has tho following story. It is the first we have heard about it : "A genteel looking scamp lately palmed himself off upon a farmer in Youngsvtlle as a coiimu from California, whom he, tlto fa-mer, had uevor soon. As tho lellow was vell posted in tho family genealogy, he succeeded iu com pletely pulling the wool over the eyes of the hu.ibandtuan aforesaid. By dint of highly wrought stories of California he was persuaded to dispo -o of his farm at a nominal prico, some 31.300 in Stato money. IIo was advised by the "cous in" to chauge it into grcembacks, as being uioto desirable to hold. The farmer acqjesced, and entrusted the money to his newly found relation to take to Jamestowu to be exchanged. Tinio went on, but the young man has, as yet forgotten to return." Explosion of a Locomotive. Thursday morning, whilo engine No. 230 on the Pennsylvania Railroad, was standing on a siding near Torreus' Sta. tion, above East Liberty, the boiler ex ploded with a fearful report, completely wrecking the engine. Four men who were on tho engine at the time were severely injured, one of whom has since died. Mr. Guod, the conductor of the freight train to which tho engine was attached, was severely scalded, besides sustaining several contusions from flying fragment. His injuries aro not cou. siderei dangerous, Mr. Paike, tho brakcuicn, was hurled a considerable distance, nnd sustained injuries which will probably prjvo fatal.

Hoc. 22. ' One of thoso terrific accidents, f or which nobody is to blame, oeeuired a'; this station at half past nine o'clock lasi night. The through freight train for Erin left Kane station, on tho summit of tho Mountain,' about eight o'clock. P. M. The tract was evidently crooked and rough, the weather cold and the grade, for a part of the waj. quite steep. The rails covered with tho failing snow, and the air darkened thereby, the train men were unable to see any considera ble distance, which partially excuses them. Tho speed of the descending train, and the roughness of tha road, caused a jolting, which probably threw out or broke the connecting pins, and thus divided the train iuto threo divi sions. Tho first division camo to this station and stopped at the wato'-tank. The fireman went to the rear of the tender, and while in the act of reaching for the water.hose, the second division of tho train, coming at the speed of probably forty miles an hour, struck the car of division No. 1 (loaded with coal), liter, ally crushing it to atoms, while the poor fireman was thrown over the tank house a distance of thirty feet, but strikiug on soil ground no bones were broken, and probably no fatal injury received. Ouo other car, also loaded with coal, was crushed, and several others injur ed. Keeler's bulk oil car was in tho midst of the wreck, but slightly injured, except in the trucks. The forward end was buried in the ground across the ditch the rear still held to the car be hind. Mr. Keoler. the inventor of tho car, was occupying the upper or dry freight story of the car as a caboose, with stove, bunk, Ac.

R., were blown up on the 2!h ult. The fur. nace was a total wreck. Of four boil, crs, only one remained whole and that was carried off about one hundred yards. Two were bnrsted completely. Tho debris was scittere 1 in all direc. tinns, for hundreds of yards around the Furnace. The houses in the vicinity were shaken, as though by an earth quake, breaking all tho windows, and many dishes in the cupboards. Chil. drcn seated on chairs, were thrown vio lently on the floor. John Lutz was instantly killed. He was engaged in filling, with Sh;ffer, and was blown from that over tho casting house, striking the bell, carrying it with him. Ho was found in a run, about one hundred yards off, with his head and one arm blown off. lie leaves a wifo and several chil dren to mourn his loss. Jeremiah Vjonk tin was severely injured, tjcorgo Shiffer also severely injured. Daniel Neff was buried by tho debris, but was rescued without serious injury. Mrs, J. L. McMichael was in an outbouso at the time of the explosion, and it was shattered by pieces of boiler and splin. ters, but she, fortunately, and miracu lously escaped without injury. The Furnace belonged to C. S. Kauffman, Esq., which was rebuilt during the sum nier, and now everything is a shapeless mass of ruins, and the loss is very great.

Atlantic & Grkat Western Rail Road. At a meeting of the Directors of Western Central and Atlantic & Great yestern Railway Companies, at Mead ville, on tho 2d and 3d inst-, it was deci ded that the line through Pennsylvania be put uudcr contract, as early in tho spring as possible. Tho purchase of tho Reading and other railways was ratified; ihereby guaranteeing to Philadelphia equal facilities of New York. It is the intention of the Atlantic & Great Wes. tern Company, to construct a narrow, as well as wide gauge track the entiro length of tho line, from Philadelnhia to Cincinnatti and Cleveland. The route from New York will pass through the following places : Newark, Morris town, Ilackettstown, Easton, Allentown, Mauch Chunk, to a point near Milton, thence by I.evvisburg, through the Penn Valley to Bellefonte, Clearfield, Rey noldsvillc, Brookville, Strattanville, Clarion and Franklin. Tho distauc from Brookville to New York will be 341 miles. A topographical corps of engineers arrived here last week, and commenced at the mouth of Sandy Lick, with the inten'iou of following up the line snr veyed by Col. Jarret. The two parties will meet in the neighborhood of Clear fied. Messrs J. S. King and Samuel Wilson were appointed a committee for procuring the right of way. Brookville Republican, JLVi'a Olierver. i Among other acts to come before tho Legislature at the preseut session, it is known that a strong effort will bo made to create a new county out of parts of Crawford Venango and Warren, to be called "Petroleum," with tho town or city of Titusvillo us the county seat.
