Gy~TuE CONNECTING RAIL RoAp BETWEEN
SrNBrEY AND Po1TsvIL1r.-The prospect of
completing the connection betwe the Snnbury
and Shamokin Railroad, otherwise misnamed
''Danvile and Pottsvlle,') and the great Rail
road extending from Philadelphia to Reading and
Pottsville, is recently becoming brighter; and
the day of its commencement cannot be distant.
This must be highly gratifying TO all who rejoice
in The prosperity of our State. An able Engineer
has just completeda dligent exploration of the
ground over which the connecting Railway is
10 pass, and the result Of two weeks careful ex-
animation is know TO be quite satisfactory. We
have much reason 10 believe that the road will
be shorter, the expense of construction less, anC
the tonnage transported upon it much greater
than has been heretofore anticipated. Beside.
otncr materials of transportation, we wei
satisfied that the immense Iron Works. at Dan
Vile and its vicinity, will require 100, 900 ton
of Coal from Locust R'dge, &c, passing over tn
new and the present road, twenty miles or more
! The amonnt of iron sent back from these works
/ in every form and Variety and sent the who'll
extent of the road to Philadelphia at all season
the year,-will be an important acquisition
! As regards the coal, there is mo mistake ;" 70
the Locust Ridge coal has been proved, at tn
Danville Iron Works, 10 be supei Tor to any othe
for making iron. But we may offer more er
lsrged view of this subject, in relation to tn
State of New York and the Lakes, hereafter

FIRE Ar PORTSMOUTH n H.

We learn from Extra of the Portsmouth Mer-
curry that fire vi ch proved to be extensive broke
ont in that place on the morning Of the 4th 1t is rep
resented the serious calamity that has fallen
upon the town since tho great FIRE of 1918. The loss
is put down at $4,000 The Mercury says:--
"About la O'Clock this morning, small wooden
building in the of the hat store of Daniel Kngh,
s. Co.. West side of Market stree, was discovered to
be on FIRE. The wind was blowing fresh from the
Westward at the time, and the flames communicated
to the adjacent buildings, and spread with fearful
apidy in three directions, consuming several large
and valuable brick blocks, together with number of
wooden dwelling houses and outbudings, in the most
central and business part of the town.
. On Market street all is LAID in ashes on the west
side, from the store of Nehemiah Moses to the NlcIn-
tire block, called both inclusive except the store
occupied by S. J. Dodge, grocer, the corner Of
Hanover street. On the East side, from the store of
Samuel Rowe s. Co., adjoining that of VIM. Jones
and Son, to the of Penhallow street. On PEN
halow street, the brick block occupied by Conceder
Derby and j. G. Rand hree wooden dwelling houses
the South side ofIlanover street, and all the build
ngs in the rear to- but not including, those Laid
street. We have not time to ascertain further par
tculars. Many goods have been consumed, and we
arc confident that the loss be less than $780,
600.
So rapid was tho progress Of the flames at one
time, it impossible to determine where they
would BIO arrested, and train of cars were despatch
cd to Newburyport for assistance which brought three
fire companies with their Engines and apparatus but
fortunately the fire far got under before they
arrived as to leave them but little do. They have
the sincere thanks ofour citizens for their prompt.
and good will. Great credit is due to our fire
department and citizens generally, and also, and
pecially to the company Of U. s. troops from Fort
Constitution who the spot with their engine,
and rendered very essential service.

THE NEW ORGAN OF THE ADMINIsTRA-
TION

Mr. Rtchie long the Editor of the Richmond En-
qurer, has entered upon his duties Editor of the
"Union''-,ho Globe remodeed-nnd which is the
change is matter of some consequence to the country
for the character of tho editor and his known inten
tons are to be looked TO shadowng forth tho de-
signs and purposes Of Mr. Polk and his party. Touch
ing certain great measures the whole people have an
interest in the matter And, to begin with the Edi-
tor
lie is now and always has been hostile TO Protec-
ton principle, and on his return from Washing
ton, after making arrangements to upon his new
enterprise he put forth the following in relation to
the Tariff ofAS42:-
"The odious TariF ought to be essentially rcllced,
and, WILL BE REDUCED"
In the first number orthe Union he reiterates tho
same sentiment. Texas first-and the Tariff next
seems TO be the order Of arrangement by which the
Administration hos determined to attempt to carry out
its plans. Al tho last two sessions Of Congress eff
forts made 10 break down the Tariff oe 1912 but
they were unsuccessful, and we trust all future ef
forts may prove as unavang.
A writer in tho National Inleligoncer proposes to
meet the organ of Mr. Polk on the following pro-
positions, to witt
LIST That the Tariff is eminently beneficial to all
cultivators of the soil.
I'd. That il is alike beneficial to commerce and
trade generally
I'd. That il does not, upon the whole, raise prices.
4th. That the Tariff Of 1912 revived the dropping
business Of the country terminated the broken
ges Of the people, and last, but least prored it,
SELF good regulator Of the currency.
This can be done. When it was adopted, depres-
sion hung heavily all business-mOney scarce
and peoPte wcrO discouraged. And behold the
change In less than year % $50, 900, 900 Of
specie were brought back to country, and which
had been drained Off pay FOR foreign goods under
