The Bear Creek aaiiroad.

road Company passed at the last session
of the legislature The corporators are
Messrs Rawlc. Vincent and Douglas, OF
Erie Griffith, of Mercer, and Bredin and
Kerr. of Butler. .r
But where and what is Bear Creek ?
many rcnlcr will ask Bear Creek is
considerable stream but of 10 great
length, which rises in tho northeast cor
nor of Butler county, and discharges its
waters into the Allegheny river, in Arm
strong county, some eight or ten miles
above the Braay's Bend Iron Works
For mile or two above its month it flows
through rough and rugged stripof coun-
try, which, in by-gne times, was very
likely favorite resort of bears but
abov that the country isnot at all calcu
lated to excite bruniah thoughts.
Coal and iron orc abound on Bear
creek and as early az 1918 company
erected large iron furnace. adapted 10
the use f coke, near the nnuth of that
stream. Itsmanager was an English gen
tleman named Lewis. who was something
of an enthusiast. and hopad to revolu-
tionizo the iron husiness of this country
by the introduction of the use of coke, a
thing at that time hardly thought Of
But for some reason the enterprise prov
ed failure. The same furnace was af-
terwards contracted and successfully ope
rated with charcoal and it may be in OPP
GRAFTON yet for aught we know. Perhaps
Mr.. Lewis's fond dream of making iron

that spot as il has been on'a very large
scale at Brady's Rend Bear Greek. how

miles from the Allegheny river and the

but a continuation of the Allegheny Val

The Bear Greek Railroad is to COM

passes entirely across the northern end Of
that county, to the little village Of Mar

before mentioned, from which point some
two Or three miles more of road will give
it connection with the Mahoning and
franklin road.
Throughout its entire length the line
of this road (which has been carefully
surveyedl runs through valley, or series

JohnsOnss Policy.

For some weeks pat there seemed to
b3a growing conviction that the rebel
leaders, even, would be permitted to re-
turn to their former allegicnce without
molcstation This seemed to US strange
and although we knew that our late Pres
idcnt was humane and forgivng in his
haracter-almost to fault; till we
did not believe it possible that he should
ntcmplate soliberalapolicy. Bethis asst
might. President johnson has removed
all doubts as toh;s views. He ! olds that
treason is high crime, aud as such should
suffer the seycrest penalties Of the law,
In this he will be sustained by the loyal
millions. Under his administration de-
funct rebel leaders will not gravitate to,
wards Washington; but will be glad to
be allowed to escape with their lives for
some foreign country.

proper to state that while troops of the
Army of the James; on Monday aud
Tuesday, crossed the James river and
joined Grant in his lew. movement, Gen.
Grant himself left City Point for the
front on Tuesday afternoon. Sheridan
with his cavalry led the advance, and
by this time has probably cut the only
remaining road Of communication with
Richmond, somewhere between Burks-
vile and Danville. '
The rebels on Sunday ando Monday
had the bulk of their army massed on
their right, either In santicipatiUn of an
attack in that direction, or pre- pairing to

Point has not been working for Ave or
six hours, and if there, has been any
fighting il is unknown here. 1t is be-
lieved, however that heavy battle took
place to-day.

it is now understood from the highest
and most reliable sonrces of informa-
ton, that Secretary Seward was sent for
by Lincoln to come to City Point for
consultation, and that arrangements are
actively in progress for a military con-
