During the last winter our people have
been occasionally excited on the question
of the probable construction of Rail
road from, at, OF near, Freepo-t to this
place. A Corps of Engineers spent the
greater part of the winter, running diff
eerent routes, most of which seemed to
contemplate location in the Southern
part of the county. After the winters
prospecting, this Cor ps has commenced a
permanent location ofa route from Taren-
tum, by way of the Glade Mills to the
mouth of Glade run or rather they have
completed this location, and are now en-
gagged in locating road from this
terminus TO the Borough of Butler
They may be expected to arrive in this
place in few days. This is a surprise
on most of our people, who always expec-
ted to see them approach us from the
Southeast.
The present movement would seem to
forcshadow the construction of a thorough
route from Tarentum to Homewood Sta
tion, with branch running up the Con-
noquenessiug to this place. " hile this
would not be as satisfactory as an eastern
outlet, still looking at it, at once, an out
let, both east and west, We don't know
why it may not be satisfactory,-at any
rate, so far as a location as concerned. The
next object of interest will be its con-
stfuction. On this point We can say moth
g,and can therefore only hope for the best.

A letter written in January 1850 10
Senator ANTHONY by Mr.. l.. II. GREENE,
an engineer in the U. S Navy, has re-
Gently been published in connection
with some inquiry into the reason why
General BUTLER failed to capture Fort
Fisher and Wilmington at the time OF
his famous expedition for that purpose.
1t is positively alleged that BUTLER
was part owner of lot of cotton stored
In Wilmington and was therefore averse
to the capture of the town by the Fed
eral army. He feared that his cotton
would be burned or turned over to the
government in case the town should be
occupied by Federal troops and therefore,
contrary to the express orders OF General
GRANT, lie took command of the expedi'
ton himself and, after making a big
noise in front of Fort Fisher by the ex-
plosion of several thousand dollars worth
of powder, returned to Fortress Monroe
saying that Wilmington could not be
taken. This is the stuff of which one OF
the heroes of the Radical party is made

s A gentleman of this city informs us

county, to be incarcerated there LOT tne
crime of preaching the gospe! %neleoi

offance whatever. We understand ne

noseT to think, is the proper course 10
be nursued. If this had been done
from the outset. we should have had but

lion was Father Cummings, OF Pike

cntors found that they had drawn a
White elephant, which they were at a
loss to know how to dispose of, and NOR
tilted because they had to keep him.
The consequence has been Father Cum
mings has been honorably immortallzeu'
as his prosecutors have attained an I'M
mortality Of disgrace. What makes the
arrest of Mr.. Dean worse (if there can be
any degree in such infamies) is, that he
has ALWAYS been true and loyal citizen.
II was ho who raised the first brigade

our troubles, and served as an officer, II

But such fellows constitute the staple OF
which Radical dislOyal informers are
made. Public contempt should make
the country too cold, OF too hot, to hold
them. We also learn that Rev. b: IL.
Spencer, Rev. S. w. Cope and Rev. Father
O'Neill were aIEested few days since at
High Hill, Montgomery county, and held
to answer at the October term OF the
Circuit Court, for the radical crime OF
preaching the gospel. No future event
seems more certain than that the party
now in power, and making its memory
Infamous by these and similar outrages
has its days numbered. When they are
ended, rs they soon will be, then will
come day of reckoning for those das:
