Improvements in Railroad Travel.

Among the Improvements OF the
past few years none are more apparent
than the increased comfort and facili-
ty of railroad travel. Travellers on
long routes now make the journey al
most wholly without stopping. One
of the New York papers says that
now nobody going to Chicago or ST.
Louis thinks of stopping to rest over
night-nor, as a general thing, do
through trains stop for meals. This
has led necessarily to the provision
of sleeping cars specially adapted to
the service thus required, A Mr..
PULLMAN, of Chicago, is the liking"
of the sleeping cars in the North
west-running his ears over no less
than sirteen separate lines of road.
He makes them better and better
every year-larger7 and more roomy,
with better beds and more elegant
furnitureLand has succeeded in Sc
curing for them a continuous route
from New Yorkste the extreme West,
over. some of the Pennsylvania lines.
He has lately made another advance
in their construction. He is now
building cars with separate apart
ements for family otravel-each apart
ment furnished with arm -chairs, ,ta-.
ibles, isofas,o mirrors, beds, &c., and by
means of a compact kitchen attached
to each car, each person served with
mealsIa la carte, at whatever hours
may best suit his or her convenience.
A week ago he brought one of these
cars to Albany. N. T., and run it
through, by specials train, direct to
Omaha-for the United States Com
missioners appointed to inspect and
accept,that part of the Pacific Rail-
foadsalready done, and an accompany
ing, party of invited guests. Several
Of these cars are already in use on the
Western Roads They are exceeding
iy comfortable and deprive long jour
neys Of nearly all their incenveniences
and discomforts. They add Of. me-
to the cost of travel. but a very
portion of ourfpeople are always
ready to pay for whatever additional
comforts payment will secure sdt Il

Carrying the War into africa

The advance Of public. sentiment 10
the South and the great change
wrought by the Reconstruction Act is
most apparent in the success which is
attending the political tour of Senator
WILSON, of Massachusetts,. Few
men have been more obnoxious to the
ruling elements of the South during
and since the war and yet everywhere
he is not only permitted to speak in
peace, but he is greeted by large u
diences. True. he isAssailed bitterly
by the rebel press, but he has not
been tarred and feathered, nor ridden
on a rail, nor hung, as was'the expert
ence of Radicals in that latitude not
long ago..
. We notice that he is to be followed
by other prominent speakers.ofthe Re-
publican party, the Congressional
committee having planned a system
attic campaign. Hon.lWM4D d. KELLY,
of Pennsylvania, is advertised to leave
Philadelphia, on Friday next, May
Sd, for a political tour in the late reb-
ell States. He will proceed to Will
mington, N. c., via Goldsboro', and
from Wilmington direct to Beaufort,
s. G. From thence he will go to Sa-
vannah, Ca, speaking there and re-
turning North by way of Charleston
and Columbia, s.. c., and thence to
Greensboro, Concord, Salisbury,
Charlotte, Danville, and other points
in the western part of the old North
State. Judge KELLY's labors will be-
gin in North Carolina, about Monday,
this 9th of May. His Republican
friends along the route, are requested
to make the necessary local an
~nouncements and arrangements for
his appointments. This looks very
much as if we were going to have one
country Of free speech and free prin-
ciples. 50. sa .Tafdea

The Coming Emigration.
The New York Times of Monday

The New York Times OF Monday,
says /: o SIP pni
THE foreign emigration last week,
was the heaviest of the season, 8.096
passengers at this port alone. The
accounts from the other side indicate
that it will continue large throughout
the season of 1867al1The political ex-
element in Germany, and the discon-
tent and restitution in Ireland will all
contribute to this result. 1.-The num-
Der of steamships engaged in the bust
ness. is being rapidly doubled as conn
pared with the season of 1865. The
Hamburg Company have just placed
two pew frstrclassl ships on their line:
the Bremen company have also added
two, new ships of the same class and
Messrs. Williams & Guion have put
-afeat three out of the four large ships
built expressly for their new line, and
Mr.. G. K. Garrison has successfully
established a line between Havre and
New York. with large accommoda-
tons for emigrant passengers.

errand 10 his aunt's, near by. HIS body was
discovered next day among drifted ice.

There being ice, concealed by snow. on the
ground, he missed his footing, slipped and
broke bis leg. lis fracture has been ad-
ius.ed, and be il now quite comfortable
Our citizens did themselves credit by raising
a respectable fund for Mr.. Oliver and family,
whose circumstances are not the best. The
revival meetings under the charge of Rev.
Mr.. Fulton Of your City, SILL continue with
wonderful success and interest. Old aud
young, high and low, are inquirng the
way. Nothing to compare with these meet
ings in interest was ever experienced IN this
region. There seems to be no abatement
ia the attendance and the most superficial
observer connot fail to mark the genuine
workings Of Gods spirit. Let it 90 on and
much praise be awarded to the faithful lead
er of this awakening. More anon. Yours

Mr.. EDIroR.-As it has been charged in
the Conservative that John II. Campbell,
member Of the Board Of Supervisors, is TAX.
ing 25 per cent. out Of the County on the
amount Of money collected by him for de-
linquent taxes, think it due to him that the
citizens Of the county should know the facts.
The Board Of Supervisors found large
amount Of delinquent taxes assessed on
personal property against persons in every
part of the county, and against many who
had gone away. 1t was thought best land
properly too) to have the same collected,
and what was not collected crossed out SO
that the books could be Strengthened up No
one could be hired to travel about the county
for less than Is per cent. Of the amount col
lected, and paw his own expenses. Mr..
Westfall undertook the work and after faith
full working, was able to collect, some weeks
not more than $50 to $40. Mr.. Campbell
took the book for this township, asserting at
the time that he did it only to help the
county anu HsSist ia sSAtiHS Al tiiS tbA uuc
the county. He has deposited every cent he
has thus collected and repeatedly said he
should not charge the coounty one dollar for
bis trouble in collecting the same.
And let me say now, that Buchanan coun>
ty is not indebted to any man more than
Mr.. Campbell, for her present fourishing f.
nancial condition. 1t was through his in
Auence with the Board, that the county was
saved hundreds Of dollars in the distributes.
of money and clothing to the destitute fami-
lies of soldiers, for he brought in no bill for
his time and trouble, when he could legally
have claimed and had allowed to him 500,
and then not have been half paid. after
which, all bills Of this kind due other mem.
bers of the Board were abandoned by them.
He saved the county $50 by fighting the
claim of certain attorney, who was getting
fine picking out Of the county. 1t seems
rather hard that a man to whom the county
is so much indebted, should be charged SO
falsely, and that the same should 50 unde.
