The bill was then rejected. After some dis
cussion, Reconsideration was moved and the
appropriation for the mission to Persia was
stricken out, after which the bin was again
rejected. In the course of the session Mr..

but made up the quarrel before the adjourn
ment.
JAN. 2S.-Ths Senate did nothing notewor-
thy. Mr.. Gwin gave notice that he should
move a reconsideration of the vote on the

bills organizing the Territories of Arizona,
Dakota and Jefferson-the latter comprising
the Pixies Peak region. Mr.. Grow gave no.
tice that he should move a clause in the Ari-
zona bill, the object of which viii be to pro-
hibit Slavery there.
JAN. 29.-Mr. Gwin tried to get reconsid-
Grafton of the vote by which the Pacific

During our last Court week, a successful eff
fort was made to revive the sClearfied County
Agricultural Society," which was organized
number OF years ago. Considerable interest
was manifested in regard to the movement,
and arrangements were made for holding meet
ings in other parts of the county, one being
appointed at Curwensville for Friday evening,
January 2Sth. By the report of the proceed
ings, which we print in another column, it
will be seen that highly commcndable spirit
was displayed on that occasion, by the peo-
pie of that section, and that large number
of names were added to the membership of
the Society. We are heartily gratifed to see
so much interest awakened on the subject of
Agricultural Advancement in Clearfeld. We
know of no county that needs it more-none
that would be so much benefited by an in
crease OF farming operations. 1t is a we'll
known fact that We do not raise enough grain
Of 1857. the value of flour alone imported into
the county, did not fall much short of S14O,-
900. This, as a matter of course, had to be
paid for in cash, and hence that amount of
money was taken out of circulation here, and
no doubt contributed largely to the making of
"hard times" Ifa sufficient quantity OF grain
had been raised in the county to supply the
home demand, our people would have sared
the amount named, and would have been just
that much better off. Our limited space this
week will, however, not permi; us to enlarge
on the subject now, and we shall, therefore,
have to take another occasion to do so. In
the meantime We trust our citizens-mechanics
and professional men as we'll as farmers
will lend their personal aid and influence in
pushing forward the ball of agricultural i'm
prorement, which has just been fairly started.

AMERIcANLuMB TRADE.
=. ROW. EDITOR AND PROPRIETOR

Ths Lumber Trade is, perhaps, one of the
most important branches of business in the
United States, and its advancement and pros
perity should be matter of as much interest
to tho Government as to those who are direct
ly engaged in it as producers and manufactu-
rers. There is too little attention paid to the
pre- servation of timber in the forests-in fact,
there is reckless destruction of it, which,
unless measures of economy are adopted, will
sooner or later cause scarcity.
The city of Chicagois is at this time the great
lumber mart of our continent, and the quanti-
~ which enters that port is good indication
of the condition of the lumber trade of our
country. Last year, the total amount was
273 ,020, 900 feet of lumber, A ,559 900 lath,
acd 127, sos 900 shingles. This is stated to be
a very great decrease over the receipts of
1857, amounting to no less than 1856 .6ls. 900
feet of lumber, 81, SIC, 600 lath and 4 ,267 900
shingles, or more than half of lumber and
more than two-thirds lath-
The extent of the Chicago business may
possibly be better comprehended, when we
place that of our own section OF country in
iuxtaposition with it. For a few years prior
to 1856 the business on the West Branch of
the Susquehanna had reached its greatest ex-
tent-the quantity being estimated at about
100 600 900 feet of sawed lumber, IL, ,00O, 900
feet of square timber and 10, ,000, 900 shingles
annually. Since then the yearly business has
decreased, perhaps, one fifth, if not more; and
1t NAV not be amiss to remark here that the
scarcity of snow the present winter has thus
far very much retarded hauling operations.
and can scarcely fail to cut down the quantity
TO some extent.
Taking the trade OF Chicago, the statistics
of which are doubtless accurate, guide,
though the people of this region have abun-
dant reason to satisfy them of the fact, it will
at once be observed that the numbering busi-
ness of our country has been IN very depress-
ed condition during 1858 but hopes are en-
tertained of the present year as being one of
much activity in this great branch of Ameri-
can industry. With the return of financial
prosperity many mills, now silent on our creeks
and rivers, will resound with the song of the
humming saw, inspiring the heart of the woods
man with hope and cheerfulness.

GOVERNMENT FRAuDs.-When Mr.. Buchan-
an predicted the downfall OF our government,
in his notorious letter to this city, says the
Pittsburgh Gazette, he had before his mind, no
doubt, such transactions as the following,
which have occurred under his own admins
tration, and probably with his own approval.
The most yillainous frauds in connection with
the war debt of the territories of Oregon and
Washington have been exposed to the unwel-
come light of day by the House Committee
on Military Affairs, which, although i, was
composed of majority of Democrats, found
the corruption too glaring to be concealed
from public observation. Here are some of
the facts developed -
NThe whole debt, as reported by the Gov
ernment agents, is about So 900, 900, of which
the Committee assert that not more than about
one million is justly due. Some of the char
ges by which this difference is made are most
outrageous. Pistols are charged at S55 each
muskets at SIPS; oats at S5 bushel; hay at
$l2O ton, and other things in proportion. At
the last session of Congress, when the debt
was first brought to tho notice of the Commit
tee, the War Department recommended its
payment, but Mr.. Faulkner caused action in
the matter to be deferred, in order that it
might be fully Investigated. By this delay
and investigation, the somewhat considerable
sum of from four to five millions will be saved
TO the Treasury
This wholesale rascality, it should be re-
membered, was perpetrated by the agents of
the same President, who only few months
ago wrote letter in which he deplored the
political corruption of the day, declaring that
it would, If not checked, involve the country
in ruin. No wonder that Mr.. Buchanan has
concluded not to be candidate for re-eiec-
tion. The secrets of his unlucky administra-
tion, if made public, would overwhelu a man
with more "back bone" and popularity than
the President possesses.

simple changing of surroundings, climate
and habitation has in renewing or strength
