HAVE WE AN ENGINE AMONG rs This query
suggested itself to us by reading accounts of
large number of fires which have occurred
recently In different places, and by which an
immense amount of property has been destroy
ed. We believe there is no engine, or any
other kind of apparatus in our town, by means
of which fire could be extiGguishcd. The
large number of wooden buildings here
would facilitate the destruction of large por-
ton of the town, should fire break out on
stormy day. The necessity Of having good
engine must, therefore, be apparent to every
property holder and busiEess man in the place
What shall be done in the matter? Will we
do without an engine, and by so doing leave
the town as food for the devouring element
whenever it may happen to burst forth Or
shall we have an engine and other fire extin-
gushing apparatus among us soon7 We shall

LATER FROM EUROPE.

The Cunard steamer Niagara arrived at Hal
flax on June 5, en- route for Boston, with Liy-
erpool dates to May "a. The excitement on
the Italian question still continues. The Brit
ish Ministry has again triumphed over the OPP
position on motion of censure for the aban-
donment of the maratime law touching neu-
trails in the late treaty of peace. Nothing de-
cisive has transpred in relation to the Sound
Dues. The Russian successes in Circassia are
confirmed. The Liverpool cotton market had
been easier, with slight decline in lower
grades. Bread Stuffs were shade lower than
previous quotations. Provisions were weak,
with moderate sales. The money market was
easier, and Consuls unchanged.

THE LOCK HAVEN AND TYRONE RAILROAD
In the IVbig of the 2lst ultimo, we asked the
question-''W has become of the President
and Directors of the Lock Haven and Tyrone
Railroad % When we made the inquiry we
expected that some one, "booked up'' on the
subject, would give us the desired informa-
tion, but we are rs deep in the fog now as
then. Early in the spring a meeting of the
stockholders was held at Lock Haven, when
there was President and Board Of Directors
elected, and also Il Chief Engineer appointed.
Now, we would like to know why the Presi
dent and Directors so elected, do not order
the Engineer to go on and locate the road
They certainly know that they arc the persons
to act in the matter, and that the stockhold-
ers expected them 10 act when they elected
them. Several months have passed away since
their election and they have not even held one
meeting, nor done anything to further the pro-
iect. In justice to the stockholders they are
bound to give some reason why they do not go
on with the work.-Bellefonte Wing.

THE National SEAmericanH Council in New
York, after an animated debate on Wednesday,
as to the propriety of abolishing secresy in
their meeting, ultimately decided it in the af-
flrmative, by large majority. Speeches were
made by Hon. John VI. Botts Hon. Humphrey
Marshall, Hon. Thomas a. jerks of Rhode Is
land, Hon. Bayard Clark, of New York, Mr..
Saunders and others. There was discussion
on a resolution by Massachusetts, delegate,
to the effect that no difference of opinion on
the subject of the Presidential nomination al
ready made should exclude delegate from
seat in the Convention. No decision was had
on the resolution, further than referring it to
a Committee. The Committee on Resolutions
reported one using very strong terms in de-
nunciation of the Brooks and Sumner outrage.
In the debate upon the above resolution, all of
the Southern members who spoke, including
John NJ. Bolts, Mr.. Alexander, of Baltimore,
and others, condemned the outrage upon Sum-
ner, but opposed the passage of the original
resolution. Messrs. Goodwin, Leslie, Britain
and Buckingham Of New York condemned it
in strong terms, and favored the resolution
| The resolution being modified, on the sugges-
tion of Mr.. Bolts, was finally adopted. New
officers for the ansuing year were ballotted for.

sidcnt of the National Council; Mr.. Erastus

whatever, and come forward now for more
favors with as much confidence as if they had
faithfully complied with all the conditions
your former Legislature had imposed upon
them:
Those members who have not seen the Sc
rious objections entertained against it, re-
spectfully refer to my veto message of last
session, which transmit herewith, and re-
spectfully ask that it may be read and again
laid before the people.
trust you will calmly consider whether
any extension of time to this company to be-
gin or complete the road or telegraph will be
in the least likely to facilitate the construc-
ton of railroad without land from the
general government.
The first thing to be done therefore, is to
memorabilia Congress for lands, and after
you get them make the contract with those
who will give you the best bargain, and build
the road in the shortest time.
1t is highly important to bear in mind that
as none ct the amendments of last session
to this charter were accepted bp the compa-
ny, the old charter is clearly forfeited by
their noncompliance. Then the extension
of time for beginning or completing the road
is substantially revi7ing and re-enacting of
the old charter.
trust then you will cast aside the past,
for the manifest reason that if you go before
Congress again for land to aid in the build
ing road, every other antagonistic interest
to the M. & N. W. Railroad Company will
oppose your efforts and surely destroy your
prospects. .
But if you go before the National Legisla:
ture and ask for land for the Territory alone
it is very clear that all opposition will be
hushed, and your success almost absolutely
sure.
Who among you would have the least hope
of getting land from Congress if that body
believed it was to 60 directly into the grip of
this old obnoxious charter? Is it not mani
fest, also, that other capitalists in the old
States would throw obstacles in the way of
our success, if they thought the land would
inure to any chartered or constituted COM
pany.
have given you my honest convictions
as to the true policy to be pursued for the
future welfare of Minnesota, and have la
bored from the beginning of my official ca
reer in the Territory, to promote by all lau-
dable means the general welfare of the peo-
pie. 1t has been my great aim in this Rail
road controversy to secure to the mass of the
people resulting interest out of the lands
granted for Railroad purposes, and have
no right to regret my course. Nor shall 1,
so long as l am conscious of having faithful
ly defended the interest of the Territory
against reckless speculation and honestly
sought the greatest good to the greatest
number. W. A. GORMAN.

ton of the North the belief that the whole
South is filed up with company of unmiti-
gated monsters and ibertines." am sur
prised that a man who claims to belong to q
society that is carrying the consultations of
the Gospel to the poor Slave, should so far
forget himself as to publicly insinuate any
thing SO unjust. 1t appears from his last
letter that he is well acquainted with "Uncle
Tom "-that he has read every leaf of that
book. How then could he forget the char
acters of Mr.. and Mrs. Shelby, and of St.
Clair, and other Southerners who are equally
estimable. Again, if "West" is sincere in
his efforts to extend the g consultations of the
Gospel" think he is taking singular way
to advance his cause by libeling Mrs. Stowe,
and by contemptuously sneering at negro
literature, as though any allusion to one
portion of Gods creatures was quite unfit
for ears refined. l apprehend he would ex-
punge portion of the Bible because there
are things recorded there which might Of
fend those who are so fastidious as s.West''
seems to be. He would no doubt prescribe
Shakespeare "because it belongs to the
stage" Indeed, if he ignores all fiction, as
he seems to, he would suppress more than
onc-half of the books which constitute our
Sabbath School Library. Every thing in
fact which does not agree with his peculiar
views and prejudices. Really, I am inclined
| to the belief that the same fault-finding
spirit of "West" is more exercised on &C.
count of the progress of the liberal senti-
ments which Mrs. Stowe has assisted to
arouse in this country, than for any particu-
lar regard he may have for the literary taste
of the rising generation.
Again, "West" who pretends to be a
literary Christian, speaks sneeringly of the
"East." This does not appear to me to be
in very good taste, either in the scholar OF
the Christian. The "Star of Bethlehem >
arose i'll the East, and from that day to this
the East has sent forth its learning, it's liter
allure and its religion, to refine, subdhe, ant
civilize the world. Without the East"
do not think our country would have mucl
to boast of either as regards learning, litera
ture or religion.

MEssRs. EDIToRs:-It was not my inten-
ton to trouble either you or your readers
again, and particularly do regret the nc
cessity of perpetuating correspondence in
relation to subject, concerning which had
supposed there was no difference of opinion
among all right-minded people, and more
particularly among Christians.
When Vests first article appeared in your
paper, did not suppose that it emanated
from one who cared enough about humanity,
or who valued the undying interests of poor
human nature high enough to induce him to
join any society that "is doing much to carry
the consultations of the Gospel to the poor
oppressed slave" "West" tells us he does
in reality belong to such society. We are
then to infer that he is believer in the
Christian religion, and whatever advances
the cause of Christ is dear to him. Now l
would ask in all kindness and sincerity if
there is anything irreligious thing which
is calculated to corrupt the mind-any thing

thies, or our love for the "poor slave" in Mrs.
Stoves book-"Uncle Toms Cabin 2"
l find in it nothing of the kind. There is
breathed forth in that work from the begin
ming to the end, a warm an tender regard
for poor human nature-it matters not how
low it has fallen. The great object of the
work is to arouse the people of the United
States to sense of the terrible sin of Slave
ry; and if possible, to assist in overthrow
ing, system which may yet call down up
on the heads of the people the blighting ret
ributions of an outraged Deity.
To do this and to awaken the people to a
lively sense of the great sin of Slavery, the
skill Of an artist was requisite. The picture
must be so drawn as to take q strong hold
on the great heart of the nation; and this
effect was produced in the work of @Uncle
Tom"
If "West" intends to be candid, he well
knows that he ibels Mrs. Stoves work
when he insinuates that it "is calculated to
fasten upon the minds of the rising genera
