RAILWAYS REGULATING PILLS

hAU" AZ > hEGOLAIING FILLS,
The Faculty of the College state in their
report that after careful and minute ezasnino-
ton, they have the honor to state that {" the
pills are not only free from every substance
injurious to health, but are composed wholly of
substances and elements promotive of digestion,
and certain at the same time 10 act faYorably
upon the nervous system, &c, &c. They
state, further, that the injurious rumors set
afoat by the Prussian apothec1ries originated
" in mean spirit of trade jealousy, excited by
the great celebrity attained by the Pills within

New RAIL ROADS IN YORK CoUNTy.-Wc
learn from the York (Pa) Democratic Press,
that two rail roads are in contemplation in
York county. As the building of either of
these roads will be of interest to many of our
readers in this and the adjoining counties, we
take from The Press the following description
of the two routes now under consideration
The one commences at the Peach Bottom
Ferry, on the Susquchanna River, and will
run by Franklinville, Bangor, Delta, Slate
Ridge, Bryansville, Bald Eagle, Gatchclville,
StcWartstown, Shrewsbury, Logansville, and
with the Hanover Branch Railroad at Han
over Junction. The other commences at the
same place on the river, runs by Delta, Slate
Ridge, Fawn Grove, Gatchelville, Muddy
Greek Forks, Caslow's Tavern, Dallastown,
Smalls Mill, and forms a connection with the
Northern Central Railroad at York. This
latter route is preferred by the majority of
the parties interested, and will no doubt be
adopted 1t traverses one of the finest lime
stone regions in the country, and there are
some eight or ten grist and saw mills along
the track besides a number of others conye-
nient to it,
There is no other railroad convenient to any
portion of this track, as would be the case
provided the other one was adopted 1t will
form central route through that portion of
the country, between the Canal and the
Northern Central Railroad and thus furnish
facilities for transportation of lime, coal, ore,
wheat and other cereals through that rich
and productive region.

The Ice IN THE SUsQUEHANNA,-The ice
in the Susquehanna River has broken up,
We learn, and is passing off without doing
serious damage.
A correspondent of the Baltimore Sun,
writing from Port Deposit, under date of
March 18th, says:
The ice broke up here yesterday, and con-
tinued TO run and gorge last light and to-day
At every gorge the water would back and
rise. This evening the ice piled up very
high on the wharf Several times it looked
very much like overlooking our principal
streets, but fortunately got vent, and is pass
ing out without doing serious damage The
boom piers stood the test well, and the rail
road bridge at Havre dc Grace stood up
detiantly against the immense pressure, the
iron-clad piers separating the large sheets of
solid ice, which were rolled and tossed
against them. This bridge has now been
severely tested, and scarcely any doubt can
be entertained of its ability hereafter to resist
the breaking up of the ice in the Susque-
hanna.

Mineral EecsGls3'Ces NJ Ihe BS0CiGC
Slope.

The Secretary of the Treasury has trans
mitted to Congress the report Of J. Ross
Browne on the mineral resources ofthe States
and Territories west ofthe Rocky Mountains.
Mr.. Browne estimates the yield of the differ
cnt States and Territories for 1867 as fol
lows:
California, $25,OOO,OOO; Nevada, $20,OOO,-
600; Montana, $12,000000; Idaho, $6,500,-
600; Washington, $1,000,000; Oregon, So
100000; Colorado, $2,500,000 New Mexico,
$500,000; Arizona, 100000; miscellaneous,
100000; total, $75,000000. The entire
product of the precious metals from 164S to
January list, 1868, is estimated as follows =
California, 5000, 100000; Nevada, $90000,000;
Montana, $65,000000; Idaho, $45000,000;
Washington, $100O0,000; Oregon, $20,000-
900; Colorado, $4,000, 900; New Mexico and
Arizona, $5,000000; miscellaneous, $45, 000,-
000 retained for plate Jewelry, &c, $50,000,-
000 total, 81 1855, 100000. Placer mining is
on the decline. Vein and quartz mining is
progressing favorably. There is q general
decline in the bullion product. The popula-
ton actually engaged in mining has greatly
diminished in the past few years, and does
not now exceed 10000. Agriculture, manu-
features and commerce are assuming the pre-
pondarance over the mining interest. The
area of land suitable for cultivation is much
larger than was originally supposed. Impor-
tant results are anticipated from the compile
ton of the Pacific railroad. The miscellane-
GUS minerals of the Pacific slope are elabor-
ately described. Copper mining is in de-
pressed condition, also quicksilver.

POLITICAL.

The municipal election in Louisville, KY,
on Saturday resulted in the success of the
whole democratic ticket.
At the election just over in Westfcld,
Mass, the town goes Democratic by 1870 ma
iority, and this is the first Democratic victory
in nine years in this town. The result is sig
nificant Of the changing opinions and sober
second thought Of the people.
On March 5, the municipal elections in the
towns of Pike county, Pa, were held and
the result was a Democratic victory by in
creased majorities in every district. The
gains are large not only over the gubemato-
rial election of year ago, but over the late
contest for Judges Of the Supreme Court.
The Democrats have elected their Mayor
in Des Mones, Iowa-an unusual occurrence
in that city.
The Rhode Island Democratic State Con-
vcntion have made the following nomina-
tons
For Governor-Symeon Pierce Delegates
to the National Convention-Chas S. Brad
ley, Thos Steere, Alfred Anthony Edward
W. Brunscn, Symeon Pierce, William H. Al
len, Edward +. Newton and Amasa
Spraguc.
The Pennsylvania Democratic State Con-
vcntion assembled in Harrisburg on the 4th
inst and made the following nominations:
For Auditor General-Charles E. Boyle, of
Fayette county.
For Surveyor General-Gen w. II. Ent, OF
Columbia county.
TIE New HAMPSHIRE ELECTIoNs.-The
latest returns, although not complete, make
the radical majority about $500. This shows
q radical loss in the popular vote of about
$50; Harriman's majority last year beng
3,146. They also lose in the Legislature.
The town elections in New York show
remarkable gains for the Democracy. Many
towns that have heretofore been considered
past redemption, have now given maiorities
for the democratic ticket.

of looking after the comfort and convenience
of the prisoners, a negro by the name of
Worthington Cant, confined on the charge Of

would he free, themselves must strike the
blow" proceeded to knock down the first

of fellow prisoner. His subsequent career.
however, was not so brilliant as his too-san-
guine temperament had led him TO expect,

THE COLUMBIA & PoRT DEPOSIT RAIL
RoAD.-Wc are glad to learn that this road,
projected some years since, as one ofthe links
connecting the coal and lumber regions of
Pennsylvania with the Chesapeake and Della
ware Bays, is now in fair way for early
completion.
The Lancaster Erpress speaking of it says
This road will extend from Columbia, this
county, Lancaster,) to Port Deposit, Cecil
county, Maryland, passing along the left bank
or east side of the Susquehanna river the
whole distance, connecting at the mouth of
Octorara creek with the Philadelphia and
Baltimore Central Railroad and at Port De-
post wtha branch of the Philadelphia, Will
mington and Baltimore Railroad, extending
between that place and Perryville. AT Safe
Harbor the line will be carried over the
Conestoga by bridge nine hundred feet long
and twenty eight feet above the surface of
the water Bridges will also be required
over the Octorara, Conowingo, Pequea,
Peters Creek and Fishing creek. Besides
these, there are no streams which require
bridging. The length of the road will be 30
miles Mr.. Sheaf estimated its cost at $685.

aggregate of 81 ,236,453. An arrangement is

cessful, will at once place the financial affairs

OVERLAND COMMUNICATION AND TRAFFIC.
The express time between San Francisco
and New York was reduced to fifteen days
at the close of 1867 and by the close of this
year it is expected the time will be further
reduced to eleven days, by the further extern
sion of the Pacific Railroad from both direc-
tions. By the middle of 1870 if not sooner,
we may look for the all-rail connection, and
q schedule of about six days from ocean to
ocean; and therefore we may look for pro-
digious stream of travel and traffic over the
Main Stem Line.
BY reason of the unprecedented low rates Of
fare on the competing steamship lines no
less than 10000 passengers have left New
York for California, ria the lsthmus, within
three months The internal and agricultural
development of the Pacific coast is SO rapid
that the demand for labor is inappeasable.-
The dispatches announce that the Central
Pacific Company are organizing II force of
10000 workmen, with which TO prosecute the
grand enterprise during this year.
