M hBSPECIFULLl INFORM the Farmers
w Of Montgomery county that we have the
EXCLUSIVE AGENCY for supplying them
with this invaluable Machine, for 1856, and So
licit their early orders.
In buying McCORMICK'S REAPING AND
MOVING MACHINE, YOU MAKE NO EXPERT
MENT. 1t has been long in use and well tested.
The whole world knows it to be the best most
complete working and Thoroughly reliable Machine
IN use
1t is very substantially made, with heavy
wrought iron finger-beam serrated sickle-edged
Cutter, very seldom requiring to be ground
the Reel draws up the grain to the Sickle, land
ing it admirably on the platform to the Raller's
hand. 1t is easily adjusted to cut any height
Of stubble, from one inch to fourteen, without
moving a bolt. 1t does its work perfectly and
equally so, whether the grain be heavy or light,
tangled or fallen, wet or dry, and al any rate
Of spesd
In Moving, the Reel effectually clears the
iinger-bcam of grass and other substances thus
preventing the sickle from choking leaving the
grass beautifully spread for curing, and requir-
ing no other hand but the driver. It cuts n
swarth near six feet wide, and at a fair farm
work gait does the work of flee cradlers and
m0gers.
In evidence Of the entire satisfaction this ma
chine gives, we state, that OF the 1850 machines
made and sold last year, placed into all kinds
of hands, and over the grain growing parts Of
! the United States, not a single purchaser has
| given Mr.. Mccormick an intimation Of a wish
to return his machine

The Pacific Railroad.

q twill be seen by the following letter that the
President elect has definitely committed himself
ID favorof the constitutional power of the govern
sment to CONSTRUCT Railroad tothe Pacific, The
Democratic and Repnblcanpartiesare pow both
committed to the project of Pacific Railroad,
and the subject will probably be one of the most
important to come before Congress at its ap-
preaching session. The letter is published in
the San Francisco Journal of October 18th:
WHBArLANp. (near Lancaster, -Pa.,) September
18th, 1870 B. z. Washington, ksq Chair
man of the Democratic State Central Commit
tee of California "a
SIR: I have received numerous commune
cations from sources in California entitled to
high regard, in reference to the proposed Pacific
Railroad. Asfit would be impossible for me to
answer them all, deem it most proper and res
pectful to address you general answer in your
official capacity. In performing this duty to the
citizens of California act in perfect consistency
with the self-imposed restriction contained in
nv letter accepting the nomination for the Pres
idency, not to answer interrogatories raising new
and different issues from those presented by the
Cincinnati Convention, because that Convention
has itself adoptea resolution III laVor Oh tnis
great work. Il ~ ~
then desire to state, briefly, that concurring
with the Convention, I am decidedly favorable
to the construction efthe Pacific Railroad; and
derive the authority to do this from the con-
sttutional power "to declare war" and the con-
stitutional duty 'sto repel inyasions." In my
Judgment. Congress possesses the same power to
make appropriations for the construction Of this
road, strictly for the purpose of national defence,
that it has to erect Notifications at the mouth of
the harbor of San Francisco. Indeed, the neces-
sity, with view to repef foreign invasion from
California is rs great in one case as in the 9th
er. Neither will there be danger from the pre-
cedent, for it is almost impossible to conceive
that any case attended by such extraordinary
and unprecedented circumstances can ever again
occur in our history.
Yours, very respectfully,
JAMES BUCHANAN.

central OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Trains.

The annual meeting of the Central Railroad
Company was held in Richmond on Thursday
last We understand that the meeting was unu-
sually large, but very little business of impor-
lance was transacted. All of the present Off
GERS were reelected for the ensuing year. The
Company resolved to discontinue the practice of
executing bonds for dividends, until the road is
completed to Jackson's River, and after that to
paw the dividends in cash. A resolution was
also adopted declaring that none but stockhold-
ers shall hereafter be permitted to act as proxies
except proxies appointed by the State.
We had hoped that something would be done
at this meeting to put stop to the nuisance OF
Sunday trains. 1t has heretofore been satisfac-
torly shown by officers of the Company that
Sunday trains did not pay expenses, and that,
therefore, viewing the matter in pechniary
light alone, they ought to be discontinued. The
fact mentioned of itself proves that there is no
public necessity for running the trains on Sun
day; for if the travel and other sources of reve-
nue. on that day are not remunerative, q very
small portion of the public must use the facili-
ties afforded to them. But there are other con-
sideratons higher and holier than any question
of dollars and cents, or mere convenience. The
same divine law which says "Thou shalt not
KILL says also, ''Remember the Sabbath day to
keep it holy" We are no more at liberty to
violate the one commandment than the other
No people-and no Company disregard the
latter with impunity. Wherever the expert
ment of abolishing the Sabbath has been tried,
the most runous consequences have ensued.
The Legislature enacts laws for the punish
ment of Sabbath breaking and disturbance of re-
lisious worship, and yet We have the Railroad
cars rushing through the country on that day,
almest literally drowning the voice of the
preacher with its noise, attracting crowd OF
the idle and ignorant at every stopping place,
and setting an example in the last degree demor-
alizing. The act of Assembly, indeed, provides
Tat no forfeiture shall be incurred for the trans
portation on Sunday of the mails, or of passen-
gers and their baggage but only few days ago
several merchants in Richmond were fined two
dollars each, under this law, for selling goods on
Sunday How consistent
The Board of Directors, we presume, have
the matter under their control, and we earnest
" hope they will not delay proper action on the
subject. We cannot doubt that they will be
sustained by the Company and the public at
large

oL.BENroN' $50 oNFIDENoEs. Old Bullion
delivered characteristic speech at ST. Louis the
evening before the Presidential election defining
his position in regard to the three candidates =
Mr.sFillnore, he said, was u gentleman whom
he had long known and with whom he hadbeen
associated in public life They had sat in Con-
rress together, and when Mr.. Fillmore filled the
Presidential chair he had been on terms OF In
innate personal friendship with him. His Adj
miuistration had been good one--it had gwen
peace to the country Mr.. Fillmore did not be,
long to the party of Benton, otherwise he would
have voted for him.
The second candidate was q member OF his
own family. AS such he was dear to him almost
as a son. and all who knew him could bear wit,
ness that he had sustained Col. Fremont in all
the difficulties which he had undergone, with all
the means at his disposal. But when 1t was pro-
posed to make this gentleman q candidate 1or
the Presidency of the United States the case was
entirely different In the first place, he lOol.
Benton) had Been too near the Presidential CHAIR
had been too well acquainted with the trials OF
all tile Presidents, whom, from Madison downto
the present time, he had personally known, TO
desire that eminent office for himself or any 9th
err man whom he loved, or not to prefer that IL
should be given to any good man rather than to
one bound to him by ties of blood or friendship
but above all TO his own son. This oblecuon
was one that he would have felt even if Col
Fremont had come forward as the candidate OF
a national party. -,
But, in the second place, when he understood
that he was to be brought out, not as national !
candidate, but as the candidate of q sectional
party-and this fact he (Col. Benton) knew {, a
whole year before the public knew it-he told
him at once that he not only could not support,
but that he should oppose him.
AS to Mr.. Buchanan, Benton knew him to be
peculiarly man of peace-a safe manl-ahd ne
believed that his election wonld best secure the
tranquility Of the country. Hence, when his
name was brought forward, he determined to
support him with all his influence.
COL Benton also spoke of the singularity that
both in Gen. Jackson's case and in that of Mr.
Buchanan he was not on friendly terms personal
" with the candidate whom he supported. de
had had difference with Mr.. Buchanan, and for
six years they had not spoken but he had snip
ported him as he had supported Jackson, with
out his knowing that Benton intended to support
him

Now that the result of the Presidential con-
test is definitely settled, there is general desire
to ascertain the position that the three candi-
dates will relatively hold towards each other in

prepared with some care, the actual results in
those States heard from being given and the
whole vote in those States not heard from divi-

IMPORTANT FROM ENGLAND.-Private letters,
received in Philadelphia from the Hon. George
NJ. Dallas, United States Minister TO the Court
OF St. James, by his confidential friends, convey
the important intelligence that he has succeeded
in negotiating treaty between the United States
and England, which covers and settles all the
points in dispute between the two countries. 1t
has been the earnest desire of President Pierce
and Secretary Marcy to accomplish this difficult
task before retiring from Office, so that all pos
sible troubles might be smoothed away for the
incoming administration. The instructions given
to Mr.. Dallas when he entered upon his mission,
have been zealously acted up to by him, and the
result has been most happy, as above noted.

TERRIBLE COLLISION AT SEA-On Saturday
November 1st, the steamship lie Lyonnais Cap.
tain Devaulse, sailed from New York for Havre
with thirty eight passengers, crew consisting
of ninetv-four men, including the officers, an as
sorted cargo, valued in all at S46,262, and S20,.
600 in specie.
On the night of Sunday, the I'd instant-the
night being very dark-Nantucket light-ship
bearing NNW., and distant sixty miles, the ship
was run into by an unknown vessel, which i'm.
mediately bore away, apparently uninjured with
out offering any assistance. LIE Lyonnais
was struck we'll aft,and her after-compartments
which werelvery large, Immediately filled with
water, and went down so as to throw her bow
high in the air. The utmost confusion prevailed
for short time on board the steamer, but order
was soon restored, and the crew Immediately sci
about constructing raft.
On Monday morning, at day break, it wasde
cided that it would be no longer safe to remain
upon the wreck About forty persons, inclu
ding passengers, were got on board the raft, ane
the boats were then launched. One OF these
was broken up Immediately, and those on board
clambered upon the raft 1t is supposed that thu
raft has gone to pieces and all on board persisted
but there is some room to hope that some ofthen
may have been saved :,
In another boat was the commander with
some of the passengers. The boat was well pro
vided with provisions compasses, DC. 1T was
the intention of the captain to pull Tor Montaul
Point. The boat has not yet been heard from.
Another boat contained the second mate, La
guiere, the second engineer, Dest0ur' and sever
al of the crew and passengers. This is the on
" boat heard from so far. 1t was plcked up q
sea by the Bremen bark Elise, ana the Passen
gers taken to Baltimore.
The list then, is-saved, sixteen; missing, one
hundred and seventeen. Unless the latter were
proyidentially rescued by some passing. vessel;
the hope of their safety is faint indeed. 1t i
also to be feared that the ship in collision with
the steamer sunk, and that her loss is to be adj
ded to this melancholy sacrifice OF HE ana prop
erty. The steamship Marion left New York on
Saturday in search of the wreck of the steamer
and for the rescue of the survivors OF her crew
and passengers should they be still atioat.

HE has all along held to the propriety, if not
