"a NEW TERMINUS PRorosED FOR THE
PHILADELPHIA AND ERIE RAILRoAD.--The
U. S. Railroad and Mining Journal says =
There are potent public reasons for making
Harrisburg in lieu of Sunbury, the terminus
of the Philadelphia and Erie railroad. The
necessity for this change is SO palpable that
IL needs no elaboration"
rB" We copy the above from the Harris
burg Telegraph" There can be no good
reasons given for any such change. The
potent reason referred to is, most probably,
that might makes right. Harrisburg is not
ouly not on the line of the Philadelphia &
Erie road, but is on the opposite side of the
susquehannah, nearly a mile distant from
the Northern Central, by which road alone,
that place has any connection with the Phil
adelphia and Erie road. There might be
potent reasons why all the roads in the Com
monwealth should be centred in one locality,
but there is q limit which monopolists of
al kinds must respect.

USrostsu IN RICHMOND.

"From these offices we learn that there Is
widespread Union feeling in Richmond.
JEFF. Davis is held in detestation, but all
who do not heartily endorse the rebel Gov
ernment are spotted and watched. There
are at this time eighteen persons confined in
Castle thunder on charges of attempts to
assassinate the rebel President These pri.
soners also confirm the report that an at
tempt was made to burn Jeff's mansion, and
that one morning his servants found coffin
upon his porch.
I'm their escape the officers were aided by
citizens of Richmond; not foreigners or the
poorer classes only, but by natives and per
sons of wealth. They know their friends
there but very properly withhold any men
ton of their Names
THE PRISONERS ON BELLE ISLE.
"The officers also report the fact that some
time ago, through the aid of citizens, they
obtained communication with the soldiers
on Belle Isle, and there were to be concerted
movements to escape. The soldiers had
been furnished with arms, which they had
secreted. The officers at Libby were to Sc
cure the guards there, and act in concert
with the Belle Isle men but, just as the
affair was ready to- be carried into execution,
the project was exposed. Suspicion at once
rested upon certain Union lieutenant colo
mel, who was in favor with the rebel autori-
ties, had the freedom of the city, and moved
about at will in the hospitals and elsewhere.
He had been suspected for some time, and
one day was accused of exposing the af-
fair.
"Thc indignation of the officers whose
plans had thus been thwarted through the
peridy of (as they believeD one OF there
number, cannot be described. Some cried
out, Hang HIM hang himp One ran to
his blanket, and tearing it in strips, said he
had a rope ready; and others were in favor
of pitching the fellow out of the window,
and letting his brains bespatter the pave
ment below. Wiser counsels, however pre-
vailed, and it was concluded that it was
better to let the traitor live and report him
to his Government, if opportunity ever of
fered. The lieutenant colonel, we under
stand, will be reported to the War Office
His excuse is that he informed Federal
officer in hospital of the attempted escape,
