Clearfeld and Buffalo Railroad.

1t is well defined fact, that public i'm
provements develope the resources of the
country through which they traverse. and
hence the announcement of the passage of q
bill for Railroad from Clearied to Buffalo,
was a matter of qualification and rejoicing
by the citizens of this county generally. This
road will pass through a great extent OF
country which, at present, is still a wilder
ness, but abounding in white pine and other
timber; COAL iron ore, fire clay, and other
minerals. This road is but link in the
great air line between the Lakes and our Ma
tional capital, portions of which are already
completed at either end and along interme-
diate distances. That part of the road to
which we have particular reference, extends
from Clearfeld to Smethport, in Mexican
courty, and when built will render intact a
continuous line from Mt. Union to Buffalo
leaving but two other links one from Mt.
Union to Chambers and the other from
Hagerstownt to Point Gf Rocks. to make a
jective points first named /. e., between
Buffalo and Washington city. When oDct
built, this will constitute one of the mos
important thoroughfares in the country, and
command an immense trade and travel
In view of these facts, and the certain de
velopment of the untold and now dormant
wealth of this region of country, it should
| stimulae the citizens of this county to re-
newec activity in furthering the building oi
this, to US, most vital improvement.

Death of Gen. G. q. Thomas.

On "Wednesday last. the country was start
led by the announcement of the sudden
death of Gen Geo. II. Thomas, at San
Francisco. aged l6fty-four yenrs. Gen Ihom-
as occupied high place IN the estimation
of his countrymen, on account CT his bril-
liam, exploits during the war OF the rebel
lion. The Pittsburg Chronicle in noticing
his death says: He was the model SOL

soldiers loved to call him, Two points of
it stand out brighter than all the rest. At

through the lines Of Rosecrans and all seem

and withstood their utmost assaults till
night He saved Tennessee to us then,
and probably saved the Western Army
from obstruction. A glorious picture would
it make to represent Thomas as he sat on
his horse, and hurled back the rebel charg
es that day. The orher point of peculiar
glory in Thomas career was the battle OF
Nashville in 1864 This battle crushed
Hood and the Rebellion in the West. Its
immediate fruits were 10000 rebels killed
and wounded, l3, lS9 prisoners, so cannon,
1900 small arms, and 26 or 80 battle flags.

their great service in the rebel cause. Among

DEMOCRATIC AGONY. Some of our breth-

exhibit symptoms of distress worse than

One of these, who edits paper away out

''How long, o God, how long shall the
eyes of the white people of the United
States be closed to the hellish iniquities Of
their oppressors When will the spirit OF
Tell and Winkelreid rise like a Phoenix from
the ashes of our liHerties, and swear on THEN

The region is the old Indian Territory, chiefly

territorial officers, all of whom, it is believed,

vauced in civilization. Through the council,
the Indians "who have adopted the customs
of civilized life this restriction lets in the

direct part in the legislative affairs OF the
territory. Every male Indian, over twenty
one years old, belonging to such tribes, will
be entitled to vote for council delegates from
his tribe, and be eligible to a seat in that
body.
