Our Raj! Road, Safei

The application of the Susquehanna
Rail Road Company fOr an injunction to
restrain the Suubury & Erie Company
from wrongfully occupying the route be-
tween Sudbury and Harrisburg, was al
gued before the Supreme Court at Sunbu-
ry on Wednesday last, by VIM. NJ. Mere
dith aud Atty Gen'l Campbell, for the
Sunbury q Erie, and by Benz. II. Brews-
ter and L. W Hughes, Esqs., for the Sus-
Iuehanna Co. The general and deep in
tcrcst felt in the question, was attested by
the unusual crowd Of people that attend
ed TO listen to the discussion. On Thurs
day morning the Court announced their
decision to be n, .taror IF tie .Sns9uehnun"
compouy. We shall probably be able to
lay the opinion Of the Court before our
readers next week This decision removes
the only serious obstacle in the way of the
operations Of the Susquehanna Company,
aud they viii now be able to proceed IN
molested in the location aud completion of
their road. The interests and rights of
Union county are also fully protected, by
this result, against the Vaccinations of
hireling emissaries at home, and unscru-
pulous rival companies abroad.

leading the people by the foulest falsehoods
they could invent, and by inAaming honest
but mistaken prcjudices. They have rep
resented that Nr Hcimbach was about to
recede from the lawful and manly position
he had assumed in reference to this great

MILLEKsTowS, July 10, 1852.
There have been several deaths by chol-
era at Patterson and Nitiintown. One
man WAS taken to Newport for interment
on Saturday last 1t runs its course in
about from four to seven hours, and as yet
all medical efforts have been Intellectual in
even giving momentary relief. The health
Of this town and neighborhood is very
good, but | fear we can not escape the
cholera.
give do not publish the above para
graph to excite uneasincss in this region,
but to give the true state of the case in
stead of vague, exaggerated rumor and
also to impress upon our citizens and bor-
ough authorities the indispensable necessity
of thoroughly cleansing and purifying
every street, alley and building in the
place. We do not apprehend the preva-
Ience of this disease along the Juniata in
an epidemic form, this season. 1t seems
as at Alexandria three years ago--to
have originated in local causes ,and we be.
lieve it viii be found to have already ex-
pended it's force, as we hear of no later
cases, either at Patterson, or elsewhere.
Our town and its vicinity is proyerbially
one Of the most healthy and salubrious To-
;alitics in the State We have fine open
country around US, with heaithful breezes
steadily blowing fresh and pure from the !
mountains: and with proper and timely |
anitory regulations, prudence in diet, and
careful avoidance OF undue exposure and /
excitement, We may reasonably hope to
scape serious infections, in epidemic sea-
ons. But we can not too strongly impress
pom our readers the importance of adopt
az judicious measures to guard against
INVITING such a disease to our midst by
nprudence and excess.

The work on the monument has now at
tanned to the height of one hundred and four
feet from the surface of the ground, and, if it
advances with the same rapidity as it has so far
done, it will in few years reach its apex ut an
elevation of five hundred and seventeen feet !;
forming the loftiest structure in the world; one
that will do great honor to the American peo-
pie, by whose voluntary contributions has thus
far been constructed; and these contributions
will not cease to be made with the same spirit
which has been shown from the commencement,
till this magnificent and noble testimonial of
their gratitude and veneration shall reach its des
