PHILADELPHIA AND ERIE RAILROAD.

Mr.. EDTToR -Havingrecently made trip over
part Of this thoroughtare for the purpose of visit
ing son, who is teegraphic operator, at Drift
wood Station, in Cameron county, on this route,
| thought few observations would be interesting
to some OF your readers
This line trayerses the Northern and Northwest
counties OF Pennsylvania from Sunhury to the city
of Erie, on Lake Erie. 1t has been leased by the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company, and under their
auspices is being rapidly opened throughout its
entire length. 1t is divided into three divisions
of equal length and each division is under the di-
rection of a Division Superintendent, and the
whole line is under the general management of
Joseph ID. Potts, Esqr., whose efficiency and en-
ergy and gentlemanly department must entitle him
to the esteem and confidence Of ALL
The Eastern Division commences at Sunbury
and terminates at Remove, and is under the direc-
ton of Mr. S. A. Black. Mr.. Black is a
thorough railroad-man and has been at this bust
ness from his youth. This gentleman is about 60
ing on the main line, for the purpose of occupying
prominent position and in the event of doing so
win be succeeded by Mr. Frank Thompson
The length Of this division is ninety miles. 1t
passes through rich and cultivated section of
country. The towns, near and directly on this
section, after leaving Sunbury, are Lewisburg
Milton, Muncy, Williamsport and Lock Haven
all beautiful and enterprising towns The Gen
eral Managers Office Is located Williamsport.-
In passing from Lock Haven, westward, the road
takes a serpeEtine course along side the West
Branch, and takes the traveller through roman
tic section of country. Here and there are cult
yated spots which promise to reward the toll of the
husbandman.
Remove, Clinton county, is anticipated to be a
second Altoona. The ground is regularly laid out
for the contemplated town, and when built up, it
viii present beautiful location. Here the Penn
sylvania Railroad Company is building a round
house, machine-shops, foundry, etc., which are
expected to be completed by August next
The Middle Division commences at Remove and
terminates at Lamont, and is under the direction
of Major j. J. Lawrence formerly Superintendent
Of the Huntingdon and Broad Top Railroad. The
distance from Rspoyo to Lamont, is ninety-fve
miles This Division runs along side the West
Branch to Keating Station, and from thence along
side the Sinnemahoning to Driftwood Station, and
from thence along side of the Driftwood to Empo-
rum. 1t is now open for passengers and freight
business to ST. Mary, Elk county Minds accus-
toned to reflect on romantic scenery can here en-
joy a rich and grateful treat
There are already many improvements in pro-
presa and many others viii be developed in the ftl-
ture. The wilderness viii soon blossom ike the
rose and progress viii follow in the tFain The Ia

Dor expended here will be amply rewarded There
will be towns and villages sprnglng up in the viii
derness, IN the course OF few years, which win
show that the Locations and completion of this rail-
way Will develop resources heretofore dormaBt- -
The people residing along the line have been shut
out from the world, as it regards transportation
facilities They already see the greatness Of the
change and realize the happy effects which this
thoroughfare has produced. They baye now ac-
cess to market and instead of taking two or more
days to 20 and return from Lock Haven for pro-
duce and other things can now go over the same
distance i'll a few hours.
The Western Division commences at Lamont
and terminates at the city of Erie: on Lake Erie,
and It's under the direction of w. A. Baldwin,
Esd Its length is ninety-five miles, and il open
from Sheffield to Erie Having never been over
this Division We cannot speak so definitely, as of
the Eastorn and Middle Divisions We have
learned that 1t Is doing a prosperous Business and
viii contribute very muchsto deyelope trade and
stimulate enterprise Them6nished link between
st. Mary and Sheffield is eing rapidly pushed for
ward, so that the completion of the entire line is
expected to be opened for through passengers and
freight business by Auguss next. heroad so far,
has already done Il greater amount Of business than
was anticipated and viii also be largely increased
The ron-horse will reyolutenize this whole section
of country The mineral and lumber resources
viii be largely developed st will make an outlet
to market, which has hitherto been closed to the
people in the wilderness Already are branches
being constructed to accommodate the transporta-
ton of freight along the way-side, The coal and
lumber trade call for these accommodations.
In concluding these observations of the Phlla-
delphia and Erie Railroad leased BY the Peunsy-
vania Railroad Company, we would yet add, that
this great thoroughfare under the efficient man
agenlent of such railroad officials as j. Edgar
Thompson. Esq, President; Thomas A. Scott,
Esq, lst Vice President and Joseph D. Potts
Esq, General Manager and their coadjutors, will
be brought to successful completion at an early
day, which event viii be heartily and gratefully
wished for

THE OTHER SIDE.


In order, that our readers may have an idea how
the enemy regard the late battles, we give an ex-
tract from the Bedford Gtzzette, of last week
Already he Grant has lost as many men as composed
Mcclellan entire army hen that Henera marchedup the
Pennspf The loss OF a the Federal army, according to
teegraphie repor TALL sAf Of 100 600 kill
led wounded and missing There have been about thr-
teen days fighting including the small battles fought by
Gen. Butler which would averages the loss at about 000
per day. 1t be the hope Of Grant to crush his
adversary rather by brute force than by strategy As yet
theghting has been indisSe, the Federal troops hay
ing gained bat advantage that Of Thursday the 2th
in which they took between three thousand and four thou
sand prisoners and thirty On the other hand,
Lees army mne large captures of prisoners in the hrst
six days fighting and also took nunbar of guns Six
Federal Generals are known to have been killed. viz
Selgwiek Wadsworth Hays. Rice, Robinson and Owen.
Seymour and Crawford prisoners. With all the losses
however Gen. Grant is still able to act the repulsve
and il to he question Of endurance be-
tween the contendng parties great many sensation
rumors constantly flying, and caution readers
to believe nothing until it is we'll authenticated"
The above we consider pretty fair secesh. = To
besure it is not so pungent as the Richmond Err
anainer, nor so weighty as the Richmond Lq1tirer,
but the intent and meaning is the same. The
Union loss is stated at more than three times the
actual number The Richmond papers stated our
loss at only twenty thousand previous to the battle
Of Thursday The telegraphic dispatches, ie the
sensation rumors, are authentic enough for
thepurpose of fixing up a grave misstatement, to
bc-Ittle and hurt the Union cause but everything
favorable, every thing inspiring to the patriot, is
to be received with caution until tits well authen-
ticated >

rArnror1sm OF THE LUrH. CHURCH.


The General Synod of the Lutheran Church of
the United States held its biennial session in York,
Pa, during the last ten days A committee on
the state of the country, consisting Of one mem
Der from each Synod represented, was appointed
of which Rev. w. A. Passavant, of Pittsburg
was Chairman. The following patriotic resolu-
tions were reported, ON call of the yeas and
nays. twill be seen that they take strong ground
in support Of the Government, and most emphat-
ically condemn the system of American slavery as
a sin against God, and as the cause of the rebel-
ion. They also rebuke the attempt of Bishop
Hopkins, in his celebrated letter, to prove that
slavery is divine institution By the adoption
of these resolutions the Lutheran Church of the
United States places itself fairly on the side of
justice and right. We speak for them the careful
perusal of our readers - Harrisburg Telegraph
Resoleed, That having assembled second time
during the prevalence of civil war in our land,
this Synod cannot seperate without solemnly re-
affirming the declarations adopted at our last Con-
yention in reference to the originating cause the
rebellion, the necessity of It's forcible suppression
the righteousness of the war which is waged by
the Government of the United States for the
maintenance of the national life and the conse-
quent duty of every Christian to support it by
his efforts
Resolued, That we acknowledge with profound
gratitude TO Almighty God the various important
successes which have thus far crowned our arms !;
the mercful interposition of Providence in deliv-
ering us from the invasion Of the enemy, and in
protecting our homes, our churches and our nstI-
tutions from the desolations of war and the
cheering progress which has been made by the
Government and the Nation in the recognition of
the laws of God and the rights CT man in the
measures which have been adopted for the sup
preston of the rebellion.
Resolred, That recognizing the sufferings and
calamlties of war as the righteous judgment of a
just God visited upon us for our transgressions,
we call upon our pastors and churches to unite
with Us in the confession Of our many and griev-
| Gus Individual and national sins, and in fervent
supplications for the Divine forgiveness, that as
people we may break off sins by righteouness, and
| do justly, love mercy, and walk humby with
| God
RseoIyed, That as persistent efforts are making
among by professedly christian writers to prove,
! from the Holy Scriptures, the Divine institution
of American slavery-the principal cause Of this
wicked rebellion-we, the Delegates Of the Gener-
/ al Synod Of the Evangelical Lutheran Church
In the United States hereby express our unquali-
! fed condemnation of such course, which claims
the sanction Of the merciful God and Father ofus
| all for system of human oppression which exists
| only by violence under the cover of iniquitous
| laws.

violently resisted the draft to gill the armies 1t
was written to the President of the United States
about month after the battle of Bull Run, and at
time when citizens were rushing to arms all over
she country, and when volunteers we're pouring
into Washington from every State. Here is the

HEADQUARTERS, ARMY OF THE PoToMAc,
May Is.
Yesterday was spent in making preparatioos for
an attack this morning, and we expect battle to-
day, provided Gen. Lee has not disappeared,
which is not at all probable the published reports
to the contrary Notwithstanding
His army was in strong intrenchments yester,
day, in front Of the Fifth Corps, on the stage
road, fifteen guns being counted in one place. with
strong lines Of earthworks wherever the openness
of the country permitted ayiew.
Last night body OF stragglers arrived here from
Washington to The number of 600, including IT
officers, some of them having surgeons certifi-
Gates Of disability, and others slightly wounded
Gen Meade has ordered the latter to be tried BY
court-martial. Many designations have been sent
in within the past two days, and win have to be
accepted for the good of service, as It's believed
that no officer capable and disposed to do his duty
would resign at this time.
1t was reported yesterday afternoon that the
enemy were moving columns of troops and wagon
trains toward Rowing Green, under the impress
ion that our army were endeayoring to turn their
right.
This morning at4, 10 firing opened briskly ON
our right, and it is believed that Generals Grant
and Meade intend 20 push the rebels sharply.
A large force of cavalry from the disnounted
camp have arrived here with fresh horses, and will
be Of great service to the army in the absence of
Sheridan command.

THE SITUATION.

There have been no general engagements be-
tween the armies of Grant and Lee since our last.
On Friday last Gen Grant began flank move
ment on lee 5 left flank. Lee 5 army lsas with
drawn from before Spottsylvania to the line of the
Anna river, twelve miles southwark. The enemy
is still in great strength before our conquering
mics. He has beer reinforced by detachments
from Beauregard and Breckinridge Lees army
Feems to be well supplied with rations, and viii no
doubt give desperate battle to our legons Grant 5
army has been heavily reinforced, and is now. the
Secretary of War says, stronger and in better con-
dition than it was at the opening of the campaign
However obstinate and fool hardy the enemy may
show himself in the last ditch, . the great Union
army is not to be broken, or its integrity seriously
threatened. 1t has troublesome affair on hand,
and may not readily accomplish it, but in the end
it must prevail. The enemy has concentrated his
whole strength around Richmond, and if he is
beaten here, he is beaten every where Gen But
Ter has fallen back from before Fort Darling to his
intrenchments. He has not been quite successful
in interrupting reinforcements to Lee. His army
is in a good condition, and ready, when wanted,
20 cooperate with Gen. Grant Sherman contin-
ues to drive johnson, and johnson is running
away from Sherman as fast as he can. Banks
army is now safe. The skiesare frightening,
