OIL Creek Railroad.

CLEvELARD, Feb. 10. 1855.
BDIToR LEADER;-The move of parties
interested in getting a new outlet from
TitusVille to the Atlantic s. Great Western
Railroad is q move in the right direction.
That shippers of oil and merchandise, IS
well as passengers over the Oil Greek road,
have so long and patiently borne the i'm
position practised, and the utter incompet-
ency Of the managers Of that Wretched
concern, speaks well for their silent endur-
ance. Merchandise of all kinds is now ly-
ing in the cars Of the Atlantic s. Great
Western Road, at Cory, which was ship
ped from Cleveland and other points, to go
over the Oil Greek road more than three
months ago, and with the exception Of a
short interval the Atlantic & Great West
ern road has refused TO take freight for
Cory, or Titusville, or points on Oil Creek,
during that period, and, perhaps, for near
ly the same length Of time oil has been &C
cupulating near the wells which this road
could not, or not move. The station houses
are miserable board shsnties, the psssen-
ger cars are Wretched and dirty pens al

run on time, the employees are anything
but civil and one might in vain look
for parallel to the style of its present
management. We noticed few days ago
that the Superintendent had resigned, and
it may be that under different mansge-
ment there will be an improvement, but
the public will not easily forget al it has
suffered.
The new project is to build 8 road from
Titusville to Union Mills, very pleasant
and thriving village on the Atlantic and
Great Western Road, twelve miles west OF
Cory. Men of means and enterprise have
taken hold of the matter, and there is q
reasonable prospect that charter will be
obtained and road built forthwith. The
distance is only about eighteen miles, the
route.s feasible one and the grades easy.
With this improvement completed it would
at once receive the support that the Oh
Creek Company by its incompetency and
total disregard Of public convenience long
since forfeited. B.

The HeraLds Wilmington correspond
ent ssys that large number of Union
prisoners were released by the capture of
the place. They were confined in Camp
Lamb, about one mile from the city.
Their treatment was of the most brutal
character, and for three days preceding
the evacuation they had not received q
modthful to eat. The citizens had en-
desFOred to feed them, but the food was
taken away by the officer in charge. They
presented most lickening spectacle, many

A EEW MITERIAL FOB MAKING PAPERl
sOn1ethIng for the Associated Press
and Paper Makers lraa-.sis


We commend the following article to
the sttsntion of our readers:
To the AssOeiGsed Press
In considering the question Of using
corn-husks as paper material, the excess Ct
mucilsge; and the trouble Of gathering,
sad the difficulty of packing for transpOr-
tstion viii be vital The writer has had
experience sufficient TO convince him that
that there viii be loss of more than two
thirds between the weight of the huEk used
and the paper made from it. It viii be
more expensive to collect one ton Of husks
than four tons Of coarse Harsh grass, which
makes paper equal 10 that made from
ordinary rags, and upon which the less
from mucilsge will not be more than one
third, so that the account would stand
something like this. ...,r
One ton Of husks $500 %
Husk paper, 66s 1So 90
Four tons t10s "
Mr. Starbuek, of the Umcnnsti Times,
viii state, if called upon, that the subscri-
Der prepared some three hundred pounds
Il ahslfstuf" from this description Of grass,
which was sent TO the paper-min andmads
into paper, upon which he printed four or
FIVE thousand copies Of the Tires, and that
the paper maker not knowing what the
material was, endorsed in the shipping
bill &C This material has fine hber, works
well in the machine, and makes good pa
per- al Is
This material for sl practical purposes
is limitless in the vicinity Of all our prom
inent cities, so that mills may be locstsd
in their suburbs and secure any quantities
for gathering.
HHogg Creek MaTshD lying at the inter-
section Of the Fort Wayne and Sandusky
and Columbus railroads, has fourteen
thousand acres Of such grass; covering It
atthe rate of four tons to the acre. Every
one hundred pounds Of this grass VIII
yield from sixty to seventy-fye pounds Of
Hhalf stuff" for printing paper, or would
make so many pounds Of binders boards Of
quality better than the ordinary star
board And every one thousand dollars
invested in the appliances for making Ghah
stuff, " or binders boards Suitable power
being provided will secure the production
of those results daily. The writer Is ready
to disclose the process by which this grass
is prepared for paper to any individual or
company who would engage in the busi-
ness, allowing me a fair salary for my ser
vices, and leaving the consideration OF dis
coYery to be settled after further deyelope-
ments are made. o 10 Sew ?. 10 s

new Jersey Politics

Political matters are becoming interest
ing in the State Of New Jersey. This State
has, of all the Northern States, remained
true to the spirit and letter otthe Cousti-
tuition. Amid changes on every side, her
voice has always been for the Constitution
and the Union, with equal rights to the
States, rs established by the patriot he
roes of the revolutionary war Upon her
soil the patriot Washington fought the
battles that dispelled the gloom that was
at one time settling upon the cause OF
American freedom, and her sons have al
ways remained true to the cause for which
he fought. This year q desperate effort
will be made by the Republican Abolition
party to change the political status of the
State. They held their convention on the
Goth ult, and nominated Marcus j.
Ward as their candidate for Governor.
The Democratic State Convention has
not yet been held. Several prominent
persons are spoken of in connection with
the governorship, the nomination for which
will be made in due time. That the "Jei-
sey Blues" will remain true to the Consti-
tuition and again elect the Democratic
ticket, there is scarcely any doubt The
Democrats have ruled the affairs of that
State too well and satisfactorily for the
people 70 make change.

MiscegsnatIon

The fauatical doctrines OF miscegenation
and negro equality, 50 iudustriously ad-
vocated by the Abolition press, are rapidly
becoming an abominable stencil in the
nostrils Of the sensible portion of the
Union (?) party.
II is, indeed, humiliating that there
should be a single white person so lost to
all sense of decenoy and self-respeet as to
entertain, let alone uphold such repulsive
doctrines.
The Democratic party have strenuously
opposed these abhorront doctrines and will
continue to do so. ~ IS
Suppose for arguments sake, that this
opposition should now cease (a'"consum-
nation most devoutly to be wished by
the rabid Abolitsonists) what, we ask,
would be the condition of our country
twenty years hence -?
Would the complexion of the inhabitants
be improved? =? We think not.
But the amalgamationists hold that
both whites and negroes would be inn
proved by allowing intermorriagc What
could be more revolving than such ideas
/ Their hideousness is becoming feariully
apparent, and it will not be long until
the mask will be completely removed and
the deaths head revealed.
Not only does the Democratic party
cry out against miscegenatiou and negro
Iequality-but also many of those who have
heretofore voted with the Republican party
having become disgusted with their party
are now deserting the sinking ship
and clinging to the Democracy--as then
only hope. ......-

which lasted hall AN hour, on the sidewalk

sight, and diligently inquired the cause Of
the commotion, and, finally, to show their
valor, when needed, captured an innocent
darkey who was standing by mere spectator.
