RAlLRoAD TO THE on RtdIONs.-A bill has
been intrOdseed in the Pennsylvania Legislature
to authorize the construction Of the "Oil Greek
Railroad" J." Its capital stock is to consist of two
thousand shares of $50 each. The route is to be-
gin at Garand's Station, point on the suDbury
4 Erie Railroad, running between Warren and
Erie, aud TO continue southward to Titusville, aud
ultimately so far southwark as Franklin, the
County seat of YenangO, with power to connect

IMMORTALITY OF THoueHr.- Homer and
Virgil and Milton have long since crumbl-
cd into dust, but the grand, glorious
thoughts which emanated from thor minds
still lives. The following incident aptl p
illustrates tho immortality Of thought:
CONGO in Roman theatre q sentiment
Of this kind was uttered by an actor from
one Of tho plays of Terence Homo sum, 81
nil Ag,Haasm a me diisnum Puto. 81 am q
man, and nothing human Is indifferent to
me.n The crowd made the arches of the
vast theatre ring again with plaudits to
this sentiment. IL was noble thought,
beautifully expressed. But tho best thing
about 1t was not that the poet, in tho elc-
walton of his soul, had the olearmindodness
TO express such n sound and brilliant
principle, but that the great mass Of peo-
Pile recognized its noblcness, and had
grace toapplaud the lines. There Ia, say
what wo please, q chord In human nature
that responds to such thoughts, Tor God In
man responds to the God above man.
"The theatre whore that illustrious SON
tence was spoken has long since crumbled
into ruins. The multitudes that applaud
ed IL have centuries ago passed on in the
steady march of unending generations.--
The language In which it was spoken has
become a dead language; but the immor-
tai thought has survived, and Is fresh and
living to-day as IL was on the stage Of an
cient Rome"

EXPLOSION OF THE DIAMOND Ma
oHINE.-It is generally known, says
the Sacramento Union, that party Of
gentlemen have been experimenting
for some months past in diamond ma
king, and for said purpose have caused
to be put together some sort of ma
chinery Of some kind peculiar to the
vocation, we know not what. At any
rate, it is Of iron, and is bolted aud
riveted together about as strong as
mechanics make such things. On
Wednesday, about noon, as |. w.
Underwood was experimenting with
his pet, which is to make diamonds
as cheap as pebbles, the thing blew
up, and the experimenter barely esca-
ped with his life. We understand
that the power of the explosive gas
was so great as to tear asunder solid
iron three-fourth Of an inch thick, as
readily as one would tear up wet pa
per.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS. ii, 1860

Mn. YAscEY WILL CoNr.-Our
neighbor on Main street, has offici-
al information by letter to the Chair
man of the Committee on Invitation
for the Breckenridge Club OF this
city, that this gentleman who Is
styled "the great champion Of Con-
stitutional Democracy" will be here
and make a speech on the 23d inst
Mr.. Yanccy has won for himself an
enviable potoriety, and doubtless
the people will turn out here to hear
him az elsewhere. Mr.. Yancey, is
walking and talking example, a
practical illustration OF the fact,
that IL il q matter of small conse-
aucnce how q man gets his name
buzzed about, so he gets IL. It's AZ
easy to get seat in the Nationol
Legislature on the charge OF steal
ing pair ofboots, as making pair
in the honest way. When a great
Southern Confedoracy is established
on Mr.. Yancey's plan, there is no
man we should like better to SEQ
President of the same, than Mr..
Yancey. We predict for him very
peaceful reign, If he can provide an
Office adequate to the measure,
which each of his followers place
upon themselves.
Il appears now from tho moro re-
cent speeches Of Mr.. Yancey, which
we fancy because they came up to
the full measure in length, that
no is in favor of the Union pro-
vided no can have il re-arranged
to his liking. Very much obliged
to You Mr.. Yanocy. We thought
all along, that you were merely
rying to brighten people into your
way of thinking, and striking them
with tho conviction that you, who
can sec deeper irto the milestone
than any body else, are a fit captain
to take charge of our half of the
split ship of state, and navigate II
through the breakers ahead. Come
along Mr.. Yancey and bring a reti'
nue. with you. We have no water
to weep over your pathetic parts
but shall use onions, to carry con
viction that your profound things
strike us deep.

against him by General Scott. IL sooms
that General Harvey was removed from his
command in Washington Territory at tho
demand of tho British Minister, IL being
charged that no had violated tho arrange
mont entered into between General Scott
and Gov. Douglass, by removing tho Off
Ger assigned by Gen. Scott to command
tho United States company ut San Juan,
and by reviving tho United States terrific
rial law. General Scott having reported
to tho Secretary of War, that before leav-
ing the Pacific coast no distrustod General
larney's disposition to carry out with
fidelity and courtesy his arrangement with
Gov. Douglass, General Harvey replies
that no was never officially advised Of

tho officer assigned by General Scott to

cause Of his Furnishing and banishiug per-

Fun AT HoME-Dont be afraid OF
a little fun at home, good people !
Don't shut up your house lest the
sun should fade your carpets; and
your hearts, lest a hearty laugh
shake down some Of the musty old
cobwebs therel If you want to ru-
in your sons, let them think that all
mirth and social enjoyment must
be left on the threshold without,
when they come home at night
When once a home is regarded as
only place to eat, drink, and sleep
in, the work is begun that ends in
gambling houses and reckless deg
relation. Young people must have
fun and relaxation somewhere if
they do rot find it at their own
hearthstones, it will be sought at
other, and perhaps less profitable
places, Therefore, let the fire burn
brightly at night, and make the
homestead delightful with ali those
little arts that parents so perfectly
understand. Don't repress the buoy
ant spirits of your children; half an
hour of merriment round the lamp
and freight of q home blots out
the remembrance of many a care
and annoyance during the day, and
the best safeguard they can take
with them into the world is the TN
seen influence of a bright little do
nestle sanctum.
