Ihe Railroad, from Milwaukee to this
place-the Capital of Wisconsin-was
opened about two weeks ago, and is now
in full operation-surprising the "nativcs"
by the large quantities of grain &c. that it
exports, and the crowds of fresh Dutch
men, Hor@hes (Norwegians,) Irishmeu and
Yankees that it imports. The opening
was celebrated at this place with all the
enthusiasm and magnifcencs that could be
mustered. The Excursion Train FROM
Milwaukee consisted of 81 cars, and con-
tanned about :, 800 passengers. The Road
is doing a good business, and travel thro'
this place has more than doubled.

-Ahe Berh,s for ever. She always takes
the lead-in the rear-of the Educational
team.-The Piildda. Register says: d.
We are sorry to observe that the Direc-
tors have generally fixed the salaries so
low. "Tbe laborer is worthy of his hire, y
in any useful occupation, if he does his
work well and the services of the Super
intendent of Common Schools, if properly
performed, are surely worth the highest
price fix, upon them by any of the coun-
ties. Those counties which have pursued
the penuywise policy Of affixing to this
most important Office, compensation
which would hardly be accepted by a
freshly imported railroad laborer, We trust
will learn wisdom or shame enough by the
time Of their next Convention, to offer a
salary which will not lay an absolute inter-
dict upon conscientious fulElment of the
duties of the post.
The gentlemen elected are generally
well spoken of by the local press. Rather
curious motives, however, seem to have
governed the election in some cases. The
successful candidate in Susquehanna ad-
dressed the Convention before the election,
Offering to accept the Office for $3.50, and
honestly informing the assembled guard
ians Of the educational interests of the
country "that the time he could devote
to it would be the months Of July and
Angus. and the month of December, be-
sides day or two each week, when not
employed in school" We know nothing
about him, and can only hope he will make
a good officer.
OF the gentlemen elected in Northamp-
ton, the Easton Farmer says: "Of MIR.
nilburn's qualifications, We know nothing
We believe he IS Gcrman-has taught
school considerable-latterly studied law
was admitted to practice at the April term
Of our Court, and wished this office as a
means of introducing himself to the peo-

Wilt of Union county, followed in earnest
appeals to their fellow citizens to take
bold Of this work in earnest. They had
done something, but were willing to do
more and that without delay.
The President, Gen. IRWIN, stated that
he saw more than ever the necessity Of
immediate action in behalf of this work.
He deemed it of vast importance to prop
crty-holdcrs on and near the route they
should subscribe, if need be, at sacrifice,
to secure the work; it would pay well,
Independent Of any dividends upon the
stock, although he was so we'll satisfied
that it would be profitable investment,
that if necessary be was willing to double
or even treble his subscription. He called
upon the friends in the other counties to
join heartily in the effort.
The thanks of the meeting were ten
dercd to the officers, speakers, aud Miffln-
burg Band, and the proceedings directed
to be published in the papers Of the sever
al counties interested.
The Convention then adjourned in the
best possible spirit: the Band struck up
lively tune aud the crowd returned to
the Fort.-We understand a second meet
ing was held, and measures taken to can
vass Center county for subscriptions.
ct was also stated at the clo=e of the
meeting, that if Half Million Dollars,
and the right Of way, can be secured along
the line, capitalists would add any means
needful to construct aud furnish the Road }
Returning, our company spent the night
at REBEasBuRG in Brush Valley, passing
down Rapid Run on Saturday morning.
They thus had full view of the country
traversed by the two proposed routes-and
proceeded homeward via Milton and Catta-
wissa. The season Of the year, the mild
weather, and the rich garniture Of nature,
combined to make the excursion peculiarly
pleasant to those gentlemen who had not
previously visited the Garden Of Central
Pennsylvania. They expressed high gra-
tiication with the trip, aud We hope the
best results may flow from it. They came
not to "spy out the land" yet We doubt
not they will "carry back good report"
of "milk and honey" and wheat and iron.
One thing, however, is certain: H1rcapi-
talists rarely if ever lay out money where
the people Immediately concerned do not
manifest confident and friendly spirit by
RIsKINo something themselves and show
ing a permanent aud pecuniary devotion
to the work.
Up, then, men Of Union, Center, Hun
tingdon, and Blair! Of all the routes pro-
posed, yours seems thus far decidedly the
best. but only one will be built. and if
any other should take the lead Of yours,
farewell to your Railway for our day aud
