County Subscriptions.

We published few days since the de-
cision Of the Supreme> Court of Ohio in
the ease of Clinton Co., affirming the va
lidity of the Bonds issued to the Cincin-
natl, Wilmington and GAINESVILLE Railroad
Company for subscription to its stock, and
granting mandamus to the Commissioners
of that County requiring them to issue the
Bonds. This decision bears with equal
force upon the Bonds Of Pickaway Co.,
Fairfield Co. and Fayette Co. issued to the
same Company and offered for sale by
Me.srs. Delano, Dunlevy & Co., No. Is
Wall ST. 1t is justly remarked in regard
to these Bonds, that if the Courts have
power to compel the officers of the County
to issue those Bonds, and give them to the
public, they certainly have po,eer to CON-
pei the officers to assess and collect the
tax, to pay interest and principal and as
this tax is collected by the same officer
who collects the State and County tax, for
other o4jsc;s, it i. impossible for one to be
collected without the other. The power,
therefore, to coerce payment OF interest
and principal is SO ample and summary,
aud the security so abundant, that these
Bouds, when understood, must be regarded
as eqnal to the very best State securities
There is one important advantage possessed
blythe holder Of County which does not
Exist in the holder of a State Bond. In
he former case, in default Of payment, the
,reditor can appeal to the law and enforce
payment, but in the case Of State he
must depend entirely upon the faith of
he State and the tardy movements of
for his relief-N Y. Tribune,

ENGLAND and the United States.

Some people are afraid that England
and the United States will 90 to war about
the right to catch Goldfish; and thus expend
as much money in one year as the fish are
worth in twenty, to say nothing of the
loss of life, the misery and suffering which
can notbe estimated. The Statesmen OF
these countries are not such fools. Eng
land the United States have better busi-
ne.s-their mission is of quite different
character. For them to fight would be
just as wise as for father and son to en-
gage in tisticuifs, about some trihe, when
there were dozen blackguards standing
by ready to rob and beat either, or both.
Let the great Anglo-Saxon race remain
firm in their attachment to the principles
of the revolution of l6SS-civil freedom
religious liberty.-Let no trihing cause
serve to ALLEVIATE them from each other
They can not afford to crafty the despots
of Europe so much as to quarrel. Their
cannon and bayonets will be wanted, some
day-God grant it may not be far distant
to give liberty to the world. The storm
of revelation must clear the atmosphere
Of Europe, and effete institutions, civil and
religious, must crumble to dust. If the
tree of liberty must be watercd By the
blood of tyrants lie. it be shed. The tears
of suffering humany have been flowing long
enough-wrons has triumphed over the
right until the hour for change has come.
And when the storm breaks forth again
let there be a republic in Europe e-en if
it is red The mechanics of the continent
and the crushed laborers, have probably
skill enough left to make guiIlotine, and
there are plenty of necks in Europe that
are fit for nothing else. When that time
comes they will make clean work-and if
Russia is to be fought back and told to
stand still and show fair play, we hope
England and the United States viii do it.

Sua1ury s. Ario Railroad.

Dr. W. 4. Irvine, one of the Directors
of the Sunbury & Erie Railroad Company,
informs us that engineers are expected to
be at Erie next week to begin survey.
The feeling in Philadelphia is strong for
the road, but they will not subscribe at
present, or till there is a change in the d.
rection. The extension is unpopular and
it will have to be abandoned. There is no
doubt but Philadelphia will subscribe the
required amount when affairs are satisfac-
torily arranged Warren Mail.

terests Of their constituents, the contract
they did execute was remarkably cautious
and guarded in its terms, so as to enure
to the direct and special benef. Of the
county, in many important particulars, or
else be null and void.
Yet no sooner was this done, than the
Swiss mercenary Of the Times--who, in
his double capacity Of Editor and Commit
teeman, had urged the subscription-a and
Gov. Bigler's Whiskey Inspector, who
had taken one hundred and fifty dollars in
the stock of the Company, set them
selves to work, by systematic defamation
and falsehood that has seldom been paral-
leled, to turn the county up side down,
nuilify-by force of arms, if needs be
the law and the contract, and frustrate, if
possible, public improvement, of more
vital Importance to the interests of the
county than any similar enterprise that has
yet been, or is likely hereafter to be pro-
too, to crafty reckless pro-
pensity for mischief, and manufacture a
homeopathic dose of political capital, for
some two or three infnitesmally small pol
ticians. And this meeting is made to
olay second fiddle to their mtrigues, aud,
a the face of notorious evidence to the
contrary, falsely prefer charge Of fraud
n procuring the subscription.

wounded by rife shot. The rest, we
understand managed to make their escape.

SINGULAR CASE OF SoMNAMBULrsM.-

SINGULAR CASE OF rSOMNAMBULrsM.-
Early on Thursday morning, little girl
about six or eight years Of age, daughter
Of Mr.. Veasle, residing near the corner
Of Fourth and C streets, South Boston,
arose in her sleep, succeeded in effecting
her escape from the house without
awakening any Of the inmates, and wan
dered away some 60 or so rods, being all
time under the influence of somnambulic
sleep or trance, the rain in the meantime
pouring in torrents. As might be sup
posed, her thin night clothing afforded
poor protection, and was soon drenchsd
through, and her hair hung in heavy wet
masses round her face. In this sad plight,
and near quarter Of mile from home,
she awoke. Her cries brought the watch
men to her assistance, but she could give
no account of herself, and still kept up
her piercing cries, arousing many in the
neighborhood. Finally, watchman Will
liston recognized her, and she was taken
to her home. With some little difficulty
the parents we're sufficiently aroused to
comprehend the sad plight of their child,
when the mother explained the occurrence
by stating that the child was in the habit
of walking in her sleep. The watchmen
departed, somewhat amused at the incl
dent, while the parents, as may be sup
posed, we're lavish in their care and atten-
ton TO the wet and chilled little wan

naive learn from various persons that
since the New Berlin meeting marked
change Of public sentiment has taken
place in nearly all parts of the county
in reference to the Susquehanna road, and
large nuEbe influential of men, who were
before hcs.ils, owing to falsehoods which
lad been imposed upon them, are rfow
satisfied on the subject, and have become
the firm friends Of the road, and cheerfully
exert their influence to maintain a sound
public opinion on the subject. As an IL
lastration. we Ray state, that radical
and leading Democrat, Of Limestone town
ship, who acted against the read at New
Berlin, assured us, yesterday, that in his
neighborhool they were now nearly all in
favor of the road, and he added, Il be-
leve if VIC had it to do ever again, at New
i erliu, the vote would be in favor Of the
road, instead of against it"
This progressing change in public opinion,
is no more than might naturally be ex-
pec.ed For, although community may
be, as in this case, imposed upon and mis-
led for time, by gross and unblushlng
n.i:represcnta,ions. the success Of such a
movement ends with the discovery Of
the fraud and wel-meauing and sensible
people, can not be arrayed for any great
length of time, by such means, against
their own true and substantial interests.
