Ju lfrc Barrett
The election ,,t Hon. Geo. R. 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.

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.

l.ad exoited tho people, and they deter

f it some crime, and un an attempt being
made toanest him, he raised tho revolt

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.

Our readers are no doubt aware that
an effott is being made by the present

unanimously petitioned tho Mayor and

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

tjctween imam n knight, ot tins

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.

by striking M 'Knight with a hammer
cutting a severe gash above the left

Tall Swindle. 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.

were on tho engine at the time were
severely injured, one of whom has since
died. Mr. Guod, the conductor of the

attached, was severely scalded, besides

Terrific Railroad Collision
Sheffield, Warren Co., Pa. 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. He escaped with.
out a scratch, and tho car maintained
nearly on upright position. He now

were shaken, as though by an earth

many dishes in the cupboards. Chil.

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

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,

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
