WILD LANDS IN PENNsYLvAN1A-The folly of sup
posing that high prices for wild lands in the far west
be maintained after the speculative fever is checked
may be seen in the large quantities of fertile lands in
the old States and much the best markets which
sold at lower prices than have been asked for wild
lands in the West distant that transportation to mar
ket will in all ordinary absorb nearly all the
value OF the produce. A writer in the PHILADELPHIA
Ledger states that in Centre county, PENNSYLVANIA with
in less than days ride by rail- of Philadelphia or New
York are some of the best COAL timber and tlage lands
in the country and yet there the dun deer lies down
under shady covert in safey-the wolf bowls through
the silent and beautiful valey,-the scream of the pan

her solitary reign In this region the writer saws,
there are four veins of coal averaging from four to seven
feet in thickness the lower vein camel coal and also
two strata of fine clay underlying the two upper veins
of coal This coal is vey easily worked and it is of
the best quality for making IRON vast beds of which ORE

forests OF white pine and white oak ever seen in Penn

Large tracts of it will cut from $4,000 to 10000 feet of

We have before us reports of two speeches made by
Mr. Stanly, Black Republican Candidate for Governor
of California the first made at Music Hall in San Fran
csco-the last in front of the Dawson House, Front
Street Sacramento We regret to say that they more
than bear out all that stated briefly some weeks since
They are not bogus The report of the San Fran
cisco Speech was cut from San Francisco paper and
enclosed in a letter received by gentleman here from
WimngtOnan now in California personal admirer, or
former admircr of Mr.. Stany. We have neither time
nor space to insert any long extracts to-day. We mere
ly call attention to the exquisite modesy of the opening
paragraph of his Sacramento speech,which is fol-

portance to us all and beg you to give me your cam at

Carolina, thought coming to country where would
be entirely unacquanted with politicians and could open
career for myself in honorable and merOrOus pro
tession 1t has not pleased the people OF California thasAl
should remain i'll that position.
We rather think Mr.. Stany will never have to leave
North Carolina again for that reason.
VANDAIsM-We learn that during the night of
Friday, the 28th ut an outrage was committed at or
acter THAT regret for the good of town. to
DC uhoef tle l"cessity Of mentioning. The vault is sit
uaUeo near the forth Eastern limit of town, on a lot
known as tne hechaD4e Burying Ground, though not
now used as SUCH
The vault, which is a solo brick structure, with a
stone door, securely wedgcd and uosed with plaster was
broken open by forcing the door out means of piece
of thick scantng passed through the ing of the door
and used purchase Out of six collins in the Vault
three were broken Open and of two of these the contents
were turned out, aud the third was turned bottom up

We cannot envy the feelings of any one who would be
guilty of the wanton dissertation of the remains and last
restng-pace of the dead,-more especially when they
must know the shock that must be given to the feelings
of the living when made aware of this outrage to the
ashes of deceased relatives.
We understand that it has been Mr. James intention

The Southern Citizen" is the name of new paper,
the publication of which is to be commenced at Knox
vile, Tennessee, by John Mitchell, the distinguished
Irish exile, assisted by Col. VIM. G. Swami
Mr.. ,Mitchell's talents as writer, are two we'll
known to require comment For vigor and purity of
style and cogeney of argument he has superior In
controversy with Henry Ward Beecher, the great gun
of abolition theology and pulpit politics essentially
silenced Neither his acquired learning his native
calbre fitted him for contest with the stronger manier
and better disciplined intellect of Mitchell, who has made
the Constitution his study bearing upon the political
rights of Slavery, and amiarized himself with Scriptu-
raj and prone history with reference to its moral and
practical bearings, verifying the teachings of the past
by the actual observation of the present State where
Slavery is an institution. We think Mr.. Mtchell's
paper will be able and valuable addition to the
periodical press of the South.

The Climate.

When the mutny broke out in India, of the first
items of news was the death of General Anson the Brit
sh Commanderin-chief The Vanderbilt, just arrived
at New York, brings of the death of Gen. Barnard
and Sir Henry Lawrence. Gen. Barnard was In Com
mand of the forces operating agan the revolted Sepoys
at Delhi. Sir Henry Lawrence was In Command OF
another important division of the Army These deaths
indicate the advances of of the great enemies with
which the British have to contendthe terribly desruc
tive climate of the central plains of India One by one
the Commanders of their armies drop off, and if these
men. in some sort acclmated, yield so to the
fatigues of active duty in the field during Summer
campaign may well conceive what is likely to be the
fate of drafted to India from all parts of the world
Some from their barracks in the cool climate of the
British Islands, some from the provinces in America
some from the fortresses of the Mediterranean some from
the Mauritus but all from places comparatively heal
thy We apprehend that terrible as the revolt itself
may be-startng its proportions, even that Will
be less enemy to contend with than the climate
1t is true Sir Colin Campbell is old Indian lighter,
and may be able to stand the fatgues and maaral in
uences to which he may be subjected but that affords
no guarantee for the health of his troops fresh from Eu
rope from other temperate and heathul ATTITUDES,
and upon Europeans alone any dependence be placed
for the work to be done is not the queng OF muny,
but the re-conquest of an Empire We suppose 1t is
understood by this time that not single Hindoo can be
depended on.

Hon. shcrrard Ciem mems.

It is with pleasure that we notice the warm
approval this gentleman is receiving at the pri-
mary meetings in the Wheeling Congressional
District. He is, we believe universally recon-
mended as their next candidate for Congress-
Our readers "a majority of whom had the pleas
ure of listening to him at the great Democratic
meeting last fall in Cadz,) will remember with
pleasure his triumphant vindication of Demo-
cratic principles on that occasion; and they,
with us, will hope to see him receive the nomi-
nation and a triumphant election from the De-
mocracy of his District. This they owe to him
for his self sacrificing efforts in behalf of the
eternal principles of Democracy. There are
but few ADLER men than Mr.. Clemmens.

LaMgEaable.

W Hatton, in his last paper, tries to deny the
charge that our friend James Stewart, is his IA
vorite candidate for Treasurer Of this county on
tho Republican ticket next fall. 10 say the
least fit, it is perfectly laughable for him to
try to deny the charge. His denial amounts to
about as much as anything else that comes from
him would. He seldom, if ever, tells the truth
aboutpolitical matters if lie will suit as we'll.
sosIt is TACT too we'll known to every promi-
ncnt Office seeking Republican in the county to
neel any items of proof that James Stewart,
n merchtnt in Cadiz, has been for year past,
and is still the favorite Republican candidate of
Richard Hatton, for the office Of County Treas
II er. The least you say about it in trying to
deny the charge, Mr.. Hatton, the better you
will save your credit, that is if you have any Of
fh1t article left, which is very doubtful.
mo doubt the buzz about his ears of the other
% candidates makes him mad, but then he need
not throw his spite on us. We don't care cop
per who gets the nomination of that party for
that office; and if you can be mtriguey enough
to get James the nomina ton. why go ahead
We shan't be any more pleased or displeased
with him than any other Black Republican,
Go ahead, the war is all on your own side of
your house. Our side is contented and happy.

This long wished for consummation we learn
has been brought about by the untiring energy
of the indehtigable President of the S. & L r.

THROUGH TO CoLUMBUs.-We learn from very
good authority, that the final contract has been
made between the s. g. |. r. r. and Central
Ohio, 10 run the trains Of the former Co. over
the track Of the latter between Newark and
Columbus. The connection between the two
roads will be made in a short time. This ar
rangement will cut short the time between this
place and Columbus, and points west Trade
from Pittsburgh and other places East will soon
seek this route. With this connection they
will reach Columbus some hours sooner than
by any other Road. This is a consummation
we have all earnestly desired.

kind of Hasaclsine that is often met with in ma

almost fell through with embarrassment, his feet
did not appear able to support him, and his
hands -whether from dirt or some other un-
cleaniy habit--sought the hiding place of his
pants which were unsuspended and consequent
