VIC Dcha'o Pupisneu III inis paper at the present
session. and he called upon another honorable men,
Der "to bring him National Intelligencer and
show him Debate This was said, we are conf
dent out of no will to the National Intelligence,
with any intention to misrepresent it, but under
the influence of an entire misapprehension of the
facts of the case. But these remarks having gone
forth to the country, and having found place in
our own columns we shall be excused for going
into some details to relieve this journal from the re-
proach thus cast upon it in the presence Of the
Senate
The plan which we have proposed to ourselves
and endcavored TO pursue, in reporting the Pro-
ccedings Of Congress- has been to keep our readers
posted up, punctually and particularly-and with
an accuracy in which we yield the palm to no other
journal-in regard to every thing of business
character, otherwise interesting, that in
the sittings of both Houses. The expense Of FIJI
reports Of the Debates in the two Houses, as we
have already shown, is far beyond the Of any
private individuals We are able, therefore to pub
ish only such of the fully reported Speeches we
can find room for without excluding from our CO
lumns the news, advertisements, &c. which are the
ordinary and necessary ingredients in the compost
ton of newspaper Our course, in making such
selections, we had occasion to explain in the Intei-
gencer Of the 18th of May last in few lines, which
we cannot do better than repeat, as follows:
On this, [the Deficiency Bill, as all subjects
/" of material consequence, We shall aim-wthout
/" surrendering our columns entirely, during the SEES
" sions Of Congress, to the publication of such
|" masses Of the reported debate in each House as
would effectively exclude all other reading matter
(" from our columns--to publish so much Of it at
I" least as will mako our readers acquainted with the

HThe Good Time Is COMING"

(At least in appearance when the West
Branch Country can have the advantages
for travel, at all seasons, which other por-
tions Of our favored land now enjoy. The
effect of this opening out" into the world,
will be highly favorable both in social
and pecuniary point of view. Increased
value will be given 10 lands and their pro-
ducts, and most branches Of trade will be
more brisk and healthful. 1t seems strange
that such country as this has not been
before now invaded by the Locomotive
Car but, however ignorant and negligent
capitalists and merchants may hitherto
have been. there appears to be, now, a
pretty thorough rcakiny up on the part Of
the - eyes open" portions Of Philadelphia
and Baltimore, and they are now making
the greatest possible efforts to grasp the
prize of the trade and travel of the West
Branch, by Railway connection.
On the first page Of to-day's Chronicle,
will be found the recent Act Of the Legis-
lature, authorizing the Sunbury & Erie'
Railroad Company to extend their road
from Sunbury to Harrisburg or the Cen
iral Railroad, on condition that the Sus-
oueLanna Railroad Company DO not COM
pictc their road-for which they (,he Susq.
Coz have a prior riyht-within two years.
Under this prospective or possible right
which can really have no legal existence
for eighteen months to come-the sunbury
& Erie Company has put q corps Of Eus.-

Nett earnings Of Lewisburg station for susq Co. $751;
Which is NEARLY NINE PER CENT. clear
on $1,000, the cost Of the Lewisburg
Station.
The 2,270 Paid messages average l6
paid words per message, and as many more
words gratis for address, &c, which would
make 76 go words sent from this Office
and transcribed in two Offices, besides as
large an amount of calls, responses, &C.,
not ,ranscribcd-say l53, $50 words in all.
There are 20 Offices on the line, and if they
average the same amount, the large number
of 3,065, 600 words in paid messages are
sent from one town TO another in one year
over that slender wire This is done in
10 hours of the week days: and the
amount cf public news and private talk
between operators, would very probably
double even this amount We calculate
that 6,lSl 200 words are transmitted per
year, which, at 4 letters per word, and 3
manipulations per letter, would amount to
q, ,324 800 letters, or 73,574,400 manip-
ulations, or motions of the operators hand.
This calculstion will exhibit the immense
capacity Of the medium.
OF the messages received here, 6 were
for persons not to be found, or were refused
Of those sent from this office, perhaps half
dozen failed Of reaching their destina-
ton on other lines, and two or three sent
from other lines to this Office, never reached.
Thus, not over dozen out of $3.50 have
failed. When We consider the nature of
this mode Of transmission, its certainty is
not the least wonder about it.
The raiue Of these messages, is of
nature that can not be estimated altogether
by dollars and cents. We know, however,
that the Telegraph has saved in money
HUNDREDS if not THOUSANDS of dollars,
directly, to those who have used it in this
place. Its other advantages have been
numerous, in cases of sickness and death,
for persons travelling, Or preparing to travel,
&c &c.
p~-;-s veil simply "r ;n~ostrnons
and being of incalculable advantage in
other respects-we now confidently ask the
citizens of Lewisburg, the Buffaloes, and
Kelly, 10 take stock sufficient to extend
the Telegraph to New Berlin. There is
no town with which we have more business
than with that, especially during Court
week and many journeys, delays, and
costs would it save you. From New Ber-
lin, it would be extended to Selinsgroye,
and thence down the Susquehanna A
subscription of Sl2 or Sl400 would prob
ably suffice to make this connection. If
not made from Lewisburg, it is certain the
extension south would 60 from Nor;hum-
berland direct, and New Berlin probably
wholly omitted.

~An exchange paper says that the
claim that Maryland was in colonial times
the only home of religious liberty, appears
to be questioned. There was law in her
statute book, which is said never to have
been repealed, providing the penalty of
death not merely to blasphemers, but for
Unitarians, and all who deny the Trinity.
The ministers and members of the Unita-
rian churches of Maryland are to this day,
it to stated, under the ban Of this law. 1t
is fortunate Gf the statement be true)
that tho mild influence eff Christianity
prevents such law from being enforced.
Rhode Island was, no one doubts,
entirely free to all religious persuasion.

not having attracted sufficient money and pur-
chaser in season, the proposal is now Withdrawn
and the paper no longer offered for sale. We
have arrangements contemplated. to enlarge the
patronage, and its profits-the first an object
naturally desirable to the people of this town and
eomWuni'y. and the last as important 10 us. Our
aim is to make The Lewisburg Chronicle the first
paper on the West Branch in all respects; and
with the "material add which can be afforded.
that ambition NAV be made successful.

risburg. If the people along the line,
and the Susquehanna Company, are content
with such intrusion, still there can be no

risburg. Ii the people along the line,
and the Susquehanna Company, are content
with such intrusion, still there can be no
doubt that the Susquehanna Company, by
virtue of its prior grant, may, if she occu-
pies the route within the time prescribed,
have the .tirst-or the ecclusive-right to
the route in question.
On the other hand, the Sunbury & Erie
Railroad Company, by virtue of its prior
grant, will also doubtless claim prior
right to the route from Supbury to Will
Transport; and this Company has now a
corps Of Engineers reconnoitering both
banks of the River above Northumberland
Meanwhile, the friends of the Susque-
hanna Cor Baltimore) road are steadily
pursuing their object to organize their
Company, and obtain clear way from the
Chesapeake to Elmira and the Lakes
Both Companies having obvious and
legal prior claims to parts of the same desi-
rable route, prudence and true policy
will dictate some terms by which all
interests can be harmonized without any
collisions, delay, or useless expenditure of
time and money. Neither Philadelphia or
Baltimore anxious as each is to gain the
point, and reap the profits is over-anxious
to advance the money required. One road
can do all the business, for some years at
least. And whoever may build or control
the road, Es3-after all, trade and travel
will 60 to Baltimore or Philadelphia, just
as Individuals may find it to their pleasure
or profit. -ura

yaS- The Union Times continues its op-
position to the County Railroad subscrip-
ton, but, we judge from all appearances,
with much less support than at first. The
only plausible argument we see advanced
in opposition, is, that if the Road will
yield such dividend as its friends sup
pose, monied men could and would take
up the stock at once. But it should be
remembered, that, so far as the country is
concerned, there are very few if any men
who have money to invest to any adeqHote
amount, and that they can make surer in
vestments in real estate, or in local stocks
whose value is known and fixed. City
capitalists are the men who it is aniicipa-
ted will take the stocks and advance most
of the money necessary, holding the road
and the bond makers asadditional guaran-
tees. As the banks when they loan money
require endorsers for the very best men,
so capitalists always require good security,
for money advanced to be expended at a
distance. As far as the northern portion
of Union county is concerned, the
most able men who have been called upon
have subscribed handsome sums to the
Road, and secured the right of way as far
as possible, thus showing their faith by
their works. Some have not been called
upon. Others, in different parts of the
county, while protesting friendship for the
work, and expecting to receive greater Or
less benefits from it, take no stock them
selves, and would prevent the County from
lending its endorsement to the enterprise.
A County Subscription is the only way
to make such supremely selfish men bear
the least share of even the remotest re-
spcnsibility in the work. They are like
those spoken Of in Holy Writ, who
" neither 90 into the kingdom of heaven
themselves. nor suffer them that are en-
terlng to go in.

ua. The most corrupt politicians, be-
lieve that no earnest public man is honest
that call men have their price" The
most degraded Of their sex, believe "there
is no virtue in woman" The thief be-
ieves "all men will steal if they feel safe
in doing so" The seducer Of female
innocence, deuounces "Every man at
heart a rake" And so public journals,
becotten in fraud and living by piracy,
Judge all others to be equally low.-Aud
vet there i. much virtue, honesty, patrio-
tism, and truth, in the world-many
worthy men and women-whatever their
antipodes in character may assert to the
contrary.

n4We see q statement-but not in
any Baltimore paper-that Baltimore City
Councils have subscribed to the Susque-
hanna Railroad, the Half Million dollars
asked for.
Philadelphia City has not yet subscribed
the One Million dollars to the Sunbury
& Erie Road, which was anticipated but
large City meeting was held in its fav or
on Monday evening last, in which strong
resolutions of the "must, shall, can and
will' order were adopted.
There is another sl,000 subscription,
and another of $500, from Lewisburg to
the Susquehanna Road. The papers from
Kelley, Buffalo, ,Miflinburg, West Buffalo,
Hartley, Limestone and New Berlin, are
not in. They should be filled up, and be
sent to Geo. F. Miller, Esq, by Tuesday
next, in order that the full strength and
claims of Union county may be legally
before the Company after its organization
at Harrisburg, next week.
We have heard of no subscriptions for
the Susquehanna road from Lycoming
county. Shall Baltimore, Dauphin, and
Northumberland, make the road to Sun
bury, and Union county take it through
her borders, leaving White Deer Mills the

tional salute.

for the nomination Gen. Cass is believed
to be out of the question. Such are the
impressions, and are only to be taken as
such.
WILKES BARRE, June 8.
The Washington correspondent. of the
Ledger telegraphs this morning from
Baltimore that Cass is ahead to-day, and
Douglas next. Buchanan delegates have
divided between Dickinson and Douglas,
