A Military visit.


We were very much gratiied the past week
by visit from our esteemed cotemporary,
Gen. Bowman, of the Bedford Gazette, who,
in addition to editing one of the best Democ-
ratio papers in the State, holds the responsib-
lie post of Adjutant General of the common
wealth. He was on route for Meadville, to in
spect the State Arsenal there-Politically
the General is as enthusiastic as ever He saws.
and we have no doubt of the fact, that the
Gubernatorial question is already settled
that the only point yet uncertain is how large
BIGLEK's majority shall be This is conced-
ed, he AYERS, by the politicians of the various
parties who have visited Bedford Springs dur
ing the past few weeks. 1t is not however,
of the political aspect of affairs that we were
about to speak; but of the enthusiastic and
gratifying reception our German military
friends exten led to the Gen. upon his return
from Meadville, on Saturday. Soon after it
was ascertained the General had arrived, the
Battalion formed upon the Public Square in
military ORDER and selit in deputation of
officers to request the pleasure of an introduct-
ion The General promptly complied and
was introduced by Gen KILLpATRICK. In
reply to the enthusiastic greeting with which
he was received, he said that it was as unex-
pected as it was gratifying that he appeared
before that Battalion, which he was proud to
see, was one of the most soldier like and best
drilled in the State. My business, continued
the General, in visiting Pennsylvania lake
city, is not for the purpose of meeting officers
either military political; neither is it to in.
spect soldiers congratulate citizens He
was merely returning from the State Arsenal
in an adjoining county where his official duty
( had called him. Nevertheless, he continued,
such demonstration, entirely unex pected,
upon this his first visit to the consecrated
ground of Perry, he was free to say was high
| ly gratifying He had reviewed and inspected
troops, he said, in various parts of the State,
when they were leaving to defend the honor of
of their country in Mexico-he had also per-
formed the same duty with these who had pist
returned from the field of glory-and from the
soldierly bearing of those he was then address,
ing, he had no doubt that if their country re-
quirel their services. they would be the first
to volunteer to go, and the last to leave where
danger lurked. Like the gallant Capt Bin
der's company, every man of whom spoke in
that sweet German accent so relished by the
gallant Scott. and who fought with unexamp-
led bravery from Vera Cruz to the Gates of
Mexico, he had no doubt those who then stoo
before him, would not stop to enquire, before
they obeyed the orders of their commander in
chief, what were his political affinities, or the
name of the temple wherein he knelt before the
God of battles Neither would their Com

Dear Sir-Some years since purcha-
Sed, and have since used one of your No.
2, double flange " Fire King" Safes, with
powder-proof lock, which underwent and
resisted so severe test on the night of
the Oath inst, against systematic at
tempt of gang of Burglars, that it gives
me pleasure to communicate to YOU the
information.
On the night mentioned, my Mill was
entered by forcing a window. On the
morning of the 25th, | found the safe hau-
led into the middle of the floor, conside-
rably bruised by hard pounding, bearing
marks of attempts to use saws, files, coal
chisels, and the key-hole somewhat bat
tered, and filled with the dirt of burned
powder. After cleaning out the key
hole, and righting up the Safe, was gra
titled to find no injury done, except to
the outward appearance. No person
slept in or within several rods of the
mill, and it may De proper to say that
success in getting into the Safe would
have paid them for their nights work.

Mayor Of Keaostd, VS.
SIR:-In compliance with your request
have made survey of the Harbor at
this place and herewith submit map or
chart showing its present condition. to-
gether with an estimate of the work alb
solutely necessary to be executed during
the present working season.
The first item in the estimate. is for
700 cubic yards of coarse gravel for fill
ing in behind the sheet piling and inside
of the piles where the water washes the
sand through between the timbers. into
the channel this part of the work should
be done as soon as possible.
The next in order is for dredging a
channel 100 feet wide to deth of IL feet
water through the sand bar 100 feet east
OF the end of the north pier, extending
across the Harbor entrance. This bar is
only 60 feet wide from feet water on one
side to 9 feet water on the other; the least
depth on it is feet water Or from II
feet water on one side, the distance across
it to II feet water on the other side is
! only 100 feet. This is the only bar outside
of the piers, as will be seen by reference
to the line of soundings, taken 19 feet
apart, extending from the end ofthe north
pier east, to depth Of "a feet water. 1t
will also be observed that only 400 feet
east of the north pier the water Is 90 feet
deep. This is certainly favorable. and its
advantages should not be neglected.
The next item is for continuing the
dredging of channel so feet wide to a
depth of II feet water. the length of and
between the piers. This channel should be
excavateu close alongside of the north
pier where the least amount of dredging
is required.
The last item of dredging in the esti-
mate is for continuing the aforesaid chan
mel 80 feet wide with a depth of 10 feet
water 600 feet farther. from c. to A.. at
the sand point to connect with the main
channel of the river.
The amount of dredging contemplated
if executed would give good safe chan
mel for loaded vessels of the largest class
and render this Harbor more accessible
than any other on this shore of the Lake
in their present condition, so far as my
knowledge extends.
The sheet piling and building and lev
Cling up of two cribs on the outer end of
the piers, specified in the estimate, are for
the security of the pier ends, and to keep
tie surf from washing the sand into the
channel at the west end of the piers.
The estimated quantity of each item
believe to be correct, but the actual cost
of Workmanship will vary according to
favorable or unfavorable circumstances.
on account of the weather. and the knowl-
edge, perseverance and energy of the Su-
perintendent and workmen.
Probably $1,000 should be added to the
estimate for renewing and repairs of ma
chinery and tools.
This report, examination. &C.. are not
so extended as they might otherwise be.
owing to the haSty manner in which thew
were necessarily made. for want of time
which the press of other business has de-
prived me of.
am very respectfully. .-s
