TO Our Readers.

The readers of the Journal are already a.
ware that a change has been effected In the
proprietorship of the establishment. Having
passed into my hands, the paper will in future
be published under my superintendance. Be
ing practical printer myself, may promise
that its general appearance will not be i'm
paired, but may perhaps be improved
Politically, the Journal will continue Amer
lean, believing, as 1 do, that foreign infuen-
ces in the management Of our public affairs
should be restricted, and that the ascendancy
of American principles in the country, and
the several branches and departments of gov
ernment, would conduce to our general pros
perity and to the preservation of our Repub-
lisan institutions.

trust that due allowance will be made for
the limited acquaintance / as yet have with
such matters as are of an entirely local char

A Parting Word.


The time has arrived, reader, when the con-
nexion that has existed between Us for the last
eighteen months is to be formally dissolved.
With this number of the Journal we make our
retiring bow. In the face Of the most bitter
and determined hostility, and of the predic-
tiens of both friends and adTcrsaries that it
could never be sustained, we commenced its
publication we now leave it with the proud
satisfaction, thatwe have succeeded in placing
it upon permanent and lasting foundation,
with patronage that amply secures its future
success.
During our brief editorial career we have
ma1e some friends, and many bitter enemies,
the inevitable result OF pursuing bold, fear
less course, and of battling for the right, re-
gardless of consequences. But if there are
any whom we have treated unjustly, or injured
without cause, we regret it, and most sincere
ly desire their forgiveness. To those, howev
er, who used every exertion to s.break us
down. and on all occasions maligned, SLAM
dered and injured us, we have only to say, you
did not get any more than you deserved, and
rot half as much as you would get if we con-
tinucd in the editorial chair.
o our Dfelnfen OF the press, 10 NitOlH We
are ..indebted for many and repeated favors,"
tender our most cordial and heartfelt
thanks. We have ever found the majority of
them, clever, whoIe-souled fellows, ever ready
70 take as well as to give blows, and We sever
our relationship with feelings Of sincere re-
gret.
In committing the Jcpyeal to the charge of
our successor, we can assure its patrons OF his
ability TO publish better paper than we could
pretend to make it. He is not only an expo
rienced editor and ready writer, but prin-
ter by profession. We most earnestly COM
mend both him and the Journal to your kind
regard, and hope that, as heretofore, you viii
spare no effort TO sustain it in its advocacy of
the glorious principles, for the success of
which we have, in common, pledged sour
lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honors."
We shall hereafter devote our exclusive at
tention to the duties of our profession, and
while we Will still continue to be an humble
advocate Of the great principles of the Amer
lean party, yet we will endeavor, if possible,
to have more to do with the law, than with pol
tiles. We bid our readers, each and every
one, kind "Good Bye" SWOOPE.

Nicaragua and California.

The Transit Company's steamship Star ol
the West, arrived at New York on Saturday
afternoon, from San Juan. bringing $40, ,OGO
in treasure, Of which S190,00O is consigned to
Drexel & Co. She brings also shipment
from the newly discovered mines in Nicara-
qua.
Gen. Walker, finding his warrior country
men pouring in rather unnecessarily numer-
Gus, has drafted battalion to the support of
his ally, the President of Honduras, who has
wrongs to redress with the Guatamalas.
By this arrival is brought the first shipment
of Nicaragua gold, the produce of mines own
ed and wrought by Americans-and among the
passengers are two gentlemen associated
Herewith, we'll known to Californians, long
experienced in mining operations, and pos
sessed Of ample capital, who come here ex-
pressly for the purpose of forthwith providing
suitable machinery, for the full developement
of their resources.
The general attention having latterly been
diverted from segrim visaged war; and direct
ed to the permanent colonization of the Re-
public, has wisely thrown open to the world
the public lands, guaranteeing to each farmer,
after an occupation and residence of six
months 80 acres, and 100 additional to each
member Of his family, free forever; and by a
special clause it is enacted that such lands are
to be almost exempt from every species of
taxation.
There is indubitable evidence of mastery
policy, suitedto the present exigencies of this
beautiful country, and by and by must tell i'm
mensely by timely emigration to its shores,
and is alike indicative of the genius of its au-
thor, who promises to be not less the states
man than the warrior.
The Isthmus continues free from epidemic
and the Transit route is safe, expeditions
and pleasant.
There has not occurred single case of sick
ness among the passengers since their depar-
ture from California.

The Next Campaign.

When England went to war in 1854, she had
from causes for which few can pronounce them
selves entirely irresponsible, practically abdi-
Gated her functions as first class military
power, and her utmost effort was the despatch
of a respectable fleet to the Baltic, and some
%, 900 soldiers to the Black Sea. The fleet was
hastily equipped and somewhat grotesquely
manned and the 25, ,000 soldiers were merely
25, 600 fighting men, defcient-except as re-
CARDS discipline and gallantry-in those requi-
sites which constitute an efficient and complete
army in the field. The nature and extent OF
these shortc omings are too notorious to need
recapitulation nor is it necessary to repeat
tie disasters that ensued, further than to say
that it is only now that we have ceased to feel
their effects. Nevertheless England has man
aged to stand not unworthily beside her great
ally, aad she rn&y honestly claim her share in
the principal results that have peen achieved,
viz, the total suppression of the Russian naval
power in one sea, its complete destruction in
another, three decided defeats efthe Russian
army in The feld, and the siege and capture
of that fortress which was justly the pride of
Russian science, and the chief instrument of
Russian aggression.
In 1859 we shall make war with an army
numerically proportioned to our position, and
q feet sufiiently large to accomplish anything
that Geet can accomplish Besides the many
new vessels like Marlborough, Conqueror,
Brunswick, victor Emmanuel Sutlei, Shannon
and Pearl, which have foated within the last
few weeks, and viii be ready for service when
they are required in the spring. Each week
that passes witnesses the debut upon the wat
ers Of some half dozen little gunboats-Biters,
Snappers and Teazers-whose deeds we are
sure will not belle their names. Altogether,
we may calculate upon having available next
summer some forty line-of-battle ships and
heavy frigates of the new heavy armed class,
about twenty corvettes and smaller vessels OF
war, with not less than 10 or $50 gun anG
mortar boats of light draught, each mounting
from one to four guns Of very heavy calibre.
There will thus be ct work in the Baltic
some $50 vessels of all classes under the Eng
lish pennant propelled by steam, most of these
expressly built for the peculiar service which
they will have to accomplish, efficiently man.

/ full strength, and in the highest state OF dis
| cipline. With the powerful cooperation o
the Emperor Napoleon, we'may expect that
the allied movements in the Baltic next year
will be of a character to eclipse in interest
and importance the operations hitherto carri-
cd on in the southern portion of the Russian
empire. What those principally concerned
expect in that quarter may be inferred from
the exertions which are knowns,to be at this
moment made to fortify the Neva and the i'm
mediate deiences of St. Petersburg.
AS regsrds the forces under the command OF
Sir William Codrington, we may roughly cal
culate upon having it, exclusive of auxiliary
non-combatant corps. at strength of 1O0,O 600
fighting men, of which over 40 600 will be Bri-
tish soldiers, 20, ,O0o Turkish Contingent, and
about 10000 or $4,000 German, Swiss and
italian Legion. The 10000 British we have
at present between the Crimea, Malta, and the
depots at home, and few of them will encoun-
ter an enemy with less than eight or nine
months drill. We think we may now say
that the arrangements for supply and land
transport are on a scale fully proportioned to
the wants of this army. OF the forces of our
Allies we can only speak generally, but We
cannot e1aggefate when we anticipate that
French, English and Sardinians will amount to
considerably more than 200, 600 men.
To the accomplishment of what objects this
great force is destined it is not for Us to say.
a French writer has remarked that the Allies
are not likely to waste their strength in gain
ing victories merely to possess themselves OF
proftless positions in the Crimea and with a
force able to strike a blow any point, it is
not our game to give the choice Of the field of
battle TO the Russians. Wc have already bril-
liant earnest Of what Oner Pasha's army can
do in Asia, and with an unrivalled feet of
transports. we can send large armies to what
ever point Of the Black Sea littoral we choose.
The scenes of attack, then, viii be those
where we may hope to meet with the greatest
material and political successes; and in the
full confidence that the forces of the Allies
viii be used for the best, we look forward with
all hope to the attainment ef the most solid
results by the campaign of 1856.

lhy Dear Sir;-As have been frequently adj
dressed of late upon the all-important subject
of our Railroad extension from Tyrone, and
have been as often spoken to in regard to our
present condition and progress, 1 avail myself
of your kindness to call general attention TO
the following statement OF our affairs, which,
trust, may revive the dropping spirits of our
over-anxious co-workers, who, from continued
silence and apparent Inactivity, have been led
to believe that the ires of enterprise are once
more extinguishcd, and that the Tyrone and
Clearfield Railroad has breathed its last and is
now numbered amongst the things that were.
AS accurately as / can at present sum it up,
the subscriptions to the capital stock of our
company now amount to over SI4e, ,000-or
within few thousand dollars Of being sufficient
to secure our charter-thereby enabling the
company to organize and TO commence active
operations upon the line of their proposed i'm
provement as soon as the weather will permit

PROMPT PAYMESTs.-Haying recently expo
rienced the inconvenience of indulging in a
system of long credits, we would, at this ear
" date, urge the patrons of the Journal to
make prompt payments, believing that it Will
be as much to their own as to our advantage.
There are but few persons in the county who
cannot have an opportunity Of settling up once
year, and we hope all will act in accordance
with this suggestion.
