Under all the circumstances, our reason
confirms our hopes that the people Of the
five Districts would prefer their natural
location for the county seat in their own
reighborhood among their own people than
"ovcr the ridge and far away" to Danville
or Sunbury.
"There's good time a-coming, boys,
Wait little longer" until we get up
the Court House, and then if you prefer
Danville or Sunbury, no power can COM
pei you to come to Lcwisburg and, if you
chose I.owisburg, a handful of men in Mil
ton can not frusirate your wishes.
The annexed communication will do
to close the subject:

cd in the last Iuidonitn, abounding in
low, vulgar slang, (Which shows the edi-
tors want of either language or dignity or
perhaps both,) in which he charges the
Chronicle with "enleavoring to create the
impression that the citizens of this end of
the county are anxious to be separated
from their southern neighbors, and annex
ed to Union county" lie says, $50 far i.
this from truth, that the very reverse is
the case" This may be so with some of
the citizens of the Borough Of Milton, who
have the depot at their door, aud are try
ing to rival Lewisburg: but let Inc inform
you, and the citizens Of your county, that
such is not the case with the people of the
four townships, who have not such advau-
tages, but are situated SO that the Railroad
is Of little service in connecting them
TO Sunbury they are sufficiently satisfied
with riding twenty miles to Court, to quit
it, and earnestly and sincerely wish to be
united to Union county. In these four
townships, (Chillisquaque, Turbut, Della

at least three fourths Of the citizens are in
favor of division. The n1tonian prefers
going to Danville, to Lewisbnrg. In this

that Borough, alone. He wishes to go
where he can travel BY Railroad, but as
he and the Cattawisss Railroad Company
have fallen out, for his own safety aud Pc
ouuiary advantage he had better 60 some
where else. The Townships above men-
toned, would not be benefited in the least
BY such change-thcir distance but little
shortened, and they would have "a hard
road to travel" The Milton editor wish

tinued on our side with little intermission, while

continued Two or three hours our works would be

TURKEY, FRANCE, AND ENGLAND.

II begins to be pretty we'll understood that Tur-
key will be occupied by the Allies, even after the
Russian war has terminated. That France will

retrlbution that France, which was invited 10 aid
Turkey to keep Oft Russia from Constanlinople
should fnaliy seize Turkey She thus afford
TO release Russia from paying the expenses OF the
war, for Turkey In her grasp could be held as a
compensation. The Great Napoleon coveted

STRONG TAX

The London Times closes recent article on the
Eastern War, with the following paragraph
The great battle we have 70 fight is. after all
not abroad but AT home Grant Us the victory
over our own corruptions and we can easily deal
with the open force of a barbarous enemy. But
the fwo campaigns ought to begin together -
While pressing Russia the north and
south we accomplish nothing. unless we deal with
equal vigor with intestine mischiefs That this
country should be governed a: such moment by
league ola few great families. and the admins
traainn of our War Department should be aban-
doned TO a vaetudinaran: that onr War Depart
ment should be worked on principles solemnlv
condemned and unreentngiv adhered to; that the
country should distrust the Government that the
Government should have confidence in itself
and little in those il employs. and that Parla.
nnent should witness all these things and make no
effort 10 amend them-this is more fatal to our
interest than all the nyriads Of half starved seris
that are marshaed the Baltic and Exine or all the

the forests ofthe Ukarine and the frozen morasses
