We visited Senator Guthrie yesterday,
and were gratifed to find him conva-
lescing slowly. He is quite cheerful
in spirit, considering his prolonged

comes settled, he will soon recover,
and in all probability be able to

THE MONONGAHELA VALLEY RAIL
ROAD PROJECT.

A correspondent OF the Pittsburgh
Commercial notices that under the char
ter granted the Monongahela Valley
Railroad Company, there is a movement
towards organization, and that meet,
ing is to be held in a.few days tor the
further consideration of the subject
would, through your widely circulated
paper, call the attention of our citizens
to the Importance ofa railroad leading
up the Monongahela valley. The facill-
ties afforded by water transportation are
not sufficient or adequate to the wants of
the people. That a railroad is wanted
and needed there is not doubt The
question IS, will tpayi There is no
district of country near the city so close
ly populated. An idea of this may be
had when we consider that fora distance
of sixty miles there are from i've to seven
steamboats, running daily, and all with
enough of business. All the passenger
business together with large propor-
tion of the treights, would be turned in
favor of the railroad, as on the freigh,s
there is charged lockage nearly equal to
the cost of transportation, which woull
give the railroad the advantage in CONS
petition. Again, the Monongahela val.
ley is one ofthe richest in the best quail
ily of coal in the whole country, and is
one great source OF wealth to Western
Pennsylvania. A railroad, especially on
the west side Of the river, would form
a new outlet tor a large portion of this
mineral, which cannot come by water
transportation, as it lies too far back
from the river. There are large fields
of coal, commencing within four or five
miles Of the city, that cannot now be
brought to market, while we are bring
ing other coal a distance OF say thirty
to fifty miles No sooner would rail-
road be commenced than up every stream
emptying into the Monongahela there
would be commenced a branch road
leading to these vast coal fields, and
connecting them with the main line.
The travel on the road would also be
much increased by the great number of
persons now resident IN the city who
are ANXIOUS to obtain small homesteads
in the country. With high rents, and
the crowded state of the city, there is a
great desire to obtain a small place in
the country. In every other direction
along the line of the railroads leading
from the city, land has been bought up
by persons doing business in the city,
and here is one of the most beautiful
valleys in the country, as yet for this
purpose comparatively unoccupled. I
think that on examination, men of
money will find the Monongahela Val.
ley Railroad a paying investment,

Jeff. Davis has been released on bail,
after two years Imprisonment. He Is

WASHINGTON, Pa, May 10, 1867.
Some two months ago young man
Of fine appearance, clothed in the height
Of fashion, carrying a splendid gold
watch with mammoth cham attached,
arrived in our town and took up his
quarters at one of our best hotels, and
registered his name as d. A. Ellsworth
The fact OF his being total stranger,
being we'll dressed, having plenty of
money, and all the airs of sporting
gentleman in luck, led the good citizens
of our staid old town to naturally in
quire: who is he?' Where did he
come from9 what is he going to do
herer In answer to these inquiries, he
SAID, he was the son of rich merchant
of Montreal, Canada, that he had been
Captain in the Union army, that he
had at one line belonged to Jessie s
Scouts, and that he was here for the pur-
pose OF buying grain. In order to
make it really. y.appear that grain buying
was his business, he rented large ware
house on Chestnut street, belonging to
Robert Wiley, and now and then bought
few oats, Two months has elapsed
since he first made his appearance, and
in that time he, by prompt payment OF
debts, wearing Of good clothes, and a
fine addresses, was able to gain the cons
fidence and good will of some OF our
beet citizens, and in short he was pro-
nouuced mice young man by the girls,
and devillsh good fellow by the boys.
On Saturday morning the clerks en-

man, dry goods merchants of this place
missed somo goods that they had beer
hunting the evening before, and, upon
examination, they found that large
quantity bad been taken. They also

SHOES, without heels, and from the fact
that the doors had not been forced, they
at once concluded that scme expert
thieves had burglariously entered the
store by the means of false keys. They
and their employees at once set them
selves to work to ferret out the thieves.
Their suspicious becoming fixed on
Ellsworth they sent for Robert Wiley,
the owner of the warehouse, and took
him into their confidence. and got him
to go to Ellsworth and say he wanted
to get in the warehouse to get out a
sack he had in there, and get the keys
from him. When Wiley went to Els
worth and stated what he wanted, Els
worth said he would 60 down with him,
and on their way down he said to Wiley
that there was young man concealed
in the warehouse who had been cutting
mp some didoes, and not want to be
seen. Wiley went in and get wool
sack, and there saw young man named
John Sweeney who had left the town
under suspicious circumstances some
time before. He did not let on that he
recognized him, but came up town and
reported. Officer Thompson and some
citizens went down and surrounded the
warehouse while some went in to search
for Sweeney and the stolen goods. They
did not find Sweeney but they found
about six hundred dollars worth ofshoes,
and about one thousand dollars worth of
dry goods nicely slowed away under the
floor up against the joists. They also
found cheese, crackers, and sardines.
and place under the floor where they
supposed some one had been staying for
some time. They also found a pair of
gum shoes all muddy. Caldwell and
Foreman Immediately recognized the
goods found as theirs. The several shoe
dealers in town were sent for, and the
goods found were recognized by John
d. Boylas as his, but so adroit had the
thieves been that he never suspected
that he had been robbed until he saw the
goods, though he says he had missed
some goods. After the discovery of the
goods at the old warehouse he went up
to his store and examined the cases and
he found that the thieves had taken
three or tour pairs out of each ONE
While the search was going on officer
Thompson, who was posted on the low.
er side of the house, saw some one
emerge from the sewer which runs un-
der the warehouse, and crawl along the
fence towards an alley. He went down
to the alley, and as the person emerged
be laid hands on HIM, and told him that
he was his prisoner. Sweeney, for it
proved to be him, tried to brlbe Thomp.
son to let him go, but without avail
He was taken Immediately before Squire
Grayson, and detained until Thompson
went up to the Fulton House and ar
rested Ellsworth, and searched his bag
gage. Among his traps were found a
pair Of gum shoes all muddy. and enough
to convict him of belonging to regular
gang of thieves. Later in the night
another young man named John Steep,
was arrested. 1t being said that evil
