COL. BiGLER.

We neglected TO mention in our notice
OF Col. Bigler, at the Northumberland meet
ing, that he had been at the Washington
House, in this place, for several hours on
the same day, and received the congratula-
tions Of large number of new and old
friends and acquaintance. Col. Bgler,
unlike some other candidates that have pre-
ceded him, makes favorable impression
wherever he goes. His face bears the i'm
press of frank, honorable and sensible
man, and his address, though dignifed, is
always pleasant and agreeable. This in
deed may be said of both candidates, and
they are both fine looking men-but as
a large majority of the people of Penn
sylyania are democratic, and coincide with
Col. Bigler in his political views, he must
necessarily be elected Governor of the
State, by large majority.

If counted from the time she passed the Bar
at Liverpool, % p. N.Y. her passage is one
hour shorter than we have made it above
1t is at all events the shortest passage crer

The Baltic had good weather and fair
winds for the greater part of the passage,
and made Cape Race several hours quicker
than it was ever before made by vessel
from Europe. This side of that Cape, she
experienced thick weather and adverse
winds, aud, having lost several floats from
her wheels, her speed was considerably re-
tarded, but she has nevertheless made a
magnificent voyage She left New York
less than 2S days ago.

SAMARITAN

Friend Swineford of New Berlin, has
converted his paper, "The Samaritan" into
a religious paper with the above title. 1t
is handsomely printed on good paper, aud
well filled with original matter. The edi-
tor states what is very true, that a local
paper, whether political or religious, must
possess more interest for the neighborhood
or section Of country, in which it is pub
llshed than city paper. We trust The en-
terpriSe will prove as successful, as the cdi-
tor is deserving, for his perseverance and

THE NEXT CONGR Ess.-The twenty Sec

OF the GO members of the Senate, 50 have
been elected, and of these 3s are Democrats,
and twenty-four Wings. Two of the Demo-
Gratis and three of the Wings are what are
called Fee Soil. There are three vacancies
viz :-one in Connecticut, ane in Tennessee,
and one in California. The Legislature of
Tennessee just elected is said 10 be Wing in
both branches, which of course secures the
election of Wing Senator, The California
Senator will probably be Democratic. Con.
necticut doubtful. OF the 233 members of
the House, l9l have been elected, of which
10 are Democrats and 81 Wings, a Demo-
cratic gain of 81. Eight States have yet to
elect their representatives, and taking the
last Congress as test of their political char
acler, the return will be 10 Wings and 80
Democrats, making the total strength of the
two parties IN the House stand as follows ::
Wings 81, Democrats li2. If by any
chance the election of President should de-
volve upon the House, the Democratic can.

and large sums squandered, without any
profit or advantage, but there are indivdu-
ais now ready 10 relay the old track from
this place to Shamokn, and the work will
be done before another year. Still the old
road is an eye sore to X. because it did not
terminate in Danville. Now Danville,
thanks to the aid and comfort it received
from the capital and energy of enterpriSing
Yankees, is flourShng place. 1t has its
furnaces, foundries, mills, bank and Court
House-though some are to be found who
hold no high opinion of the means by
which the latter was obtained. Still K.
should recollect that at the time the branch
rail road was made, Danville was a small
place, and contained some nine hundred
inhabitants, whom envious strife blinded
and petty chickering's kept continually at
loggerheads. 1t was not known then that
Massachusetts, and New York would build
their rolling mills and furnaces there, bu.
it was known that it possessed no peculiar
natural advantages, and no men of influ-
ence or enterprise. This recollection
should have soothed the CALLED spirit of
K, and made him less rampant and cruel.
Make your Rail Road, MIR. X, but cease
making comparisons, cease making remarks
which will create dissension, when union
is so necessary for the great work you de-
sire. We have no fear OF rivalry ourselves
in regard to the route to Erie. The road
from this place 10 Harrisburg, must and
will be made soon, by those who can make
it, and it would be worse than folly 10 sup
pose that Baltimore would forgo the ad-
vantages OF a connection with the Sunbury
and Erie, and the New York and Erie
roads, by refusing 10 make the link of road
from this to Williamsport, not over steep
grades and deep ravines, but over an almost
perfect level.
Nature has made Sunbury point, and
all the croakings and perversions Of inter-
eSted rivals will not deprive her of that ad-
vantage.
We will not take the trouble to refute
the absurdity that Sunbury is "not point
where iron manufacturers can be expect
ed" when it is known that we have iron
ore and limestone as convenient as some OF
the Danville works, and coal more conve-
nient.
If the projectors Of railways have not
thought Danville Of as much importance to
mankind as its own citizens DO, and have
not made il ''poEt," we are not censura-
bic. II it is so world-renowned as you as
sert, and we believe it is rather notorious
at Harrisburg, why do you take so much
trouble 10 bring it into notice! For our
part we shall not discuss the advantages oI
the place you assail, because they are well
known, as the designation Of it, by men
who really know what they are about, as
the terminus of three great rail roads, sufii-
ciently proves. On the same principle, we
will do the public the justice to believe
they can appreciate your mis-statements
and not take the trouble to convict you
of sheer ignorance or wiiful perverson.

hearing their screams and the barking of the

dogs. The distressed father reloaded his
gun and deliberately sho, the owner of the
