The Montanian of Dec. 4, says: 1--WE
are again in receipt of favorable intelli-
gence from the N. P. The latest is from
Major Pease, who informs us that he
called on the President of the road,
Gen. Cass. and was assured by him that
it was not possible that the road should
not be built to the Yellowstone next
season; that in fact, it now had to be
built to that point; whether bonds sell
or not. the Directors have already so
much invested that they are obliged to
build SO far, to make what is built Of
some value. We have also seen letter
from Father Brunot, stating that he had
called on President Cass, who gave him
similar statement"
We have great confidence in the per-
sonal assurances of Gen. Cass. He has
already done Euch to restore confidence
in the Company. which had been utterly
destroyed by mismanagement before he
came into the Presidency. He at once
took measures to remove the eastern
terminus from Duluth, where it had
been located in the interest of Land
Ring, and where there is no barbor, to
Superior City, where there is a fine
land-locked harbor; he has succeeded in
disbanding a ring of sharpers who had
direction of the Company and were
using it solely to promote their own
private speculations; he has paid
off large floating debt, to the entire
satisfaction of creditors, with railroad
lunds at six dollars an acre-at the rate
of SIG, 800 mile; he has opened nego-
tiations to extend the road from Tacoma,
where there is no harbor, to Seattle
where there is an unexceptionable har.
Dor, to correct the same wrong commit.
ted under like influences in locating the
the eastern terminus.
By the terms of the land grant forty
miles of the road must be built upon the
Pacific Division next season. Every
indication points to reasonable proba-
bility that large portion of that forty
miles will be constructed between Ia
coma and Seattle, and the balance be.
tween Kalama and Portland. If the
Company can command the means both
connections will be made before the frs,
of next January. Until these connec.
tions are made the road will never pay
running expenses. A road from Kalama
to Tacoma is from nowhere to nowhere,
only connecting two wild cat. imaginary
towns. at inconvenient points, com
manding scarcely sufficient trade to
warrant the keeping up of way station

The SHIP PANTHER FoUND.-The
report of the loss of the ship Panther,
with all on board, which we published
on Wednesday, we are happy to learn
was a mistake. Mr. Wallace, Engineer
of the steamer North Pacific, says he
met Captain Balch, of the Panther. at
Victoria, on Thursday evening. and
learned from him that the vessel was
ying upon sandy beach near the head
of Admiral Island, on the Trincomalie
channel, with ten feet of water in her
hold. Probably total loss. The crew
we're all safe. Captain Balch believed
that the tug Goliah had gone down,
with all on board, and 40 reported at
Victoria; the report of the foundering of
the Panther, with all minute details of
the catastrophy, came from the officers
of the Goliah. Fortunately both were
mistaken, the Goliah and the crews of
both vessels are safe.

A Brilliant Record of Cures.

An American humorist tells us that it would
have been money in his pocket If he had been born
without a stomach, and then proceeds to figure up
the cost Of chronic dyspepsia, to which he is a
martyr, and which he says it is impossible TO cure.
On this point Josh Billings Qor he is the party
referred toy is mistaken. Unless his stomach diff
fers from all other dyspeptic stomachs Hostetters
Bitters viii cure him In less than three months
This it would be safe to guarantee under any
penalty. There are few, very few, actual speci-
hcs for disease in existence and Hostetter's Stom-
ach Bitters may be set down as one OF them. In
cases Of indigestion it never fails. Persons who
had suffered for many years almost every coneeiva-
bio species of torture from this most agonizing
complaint have been permanently cured with the
Bitters IN six weeks. Hundreds of such instances
ale record, authenticated by the testimony Of
prominent men in every walk OF life, eminent
physicians among the number. But this ceIebra-
ted vegetable preparation is something more than
stomachfc and tonic 1t is also an Alternative OF
wonderful virtue. In liver complaint its effect is
direct and immediate as that Of calomcI or blue
pin, its regulating properties arc in the highest
degree serVicoabIe. The new settlements in the
West and all Iow-Iying tracts of country infested
with miasmatic exhaIations, so fruitful at this
season, of the various types Of intermittent fevers
should be always well stocked with this ineompara-
Die ehologue, which win cure any case Of fever and
lgue in period varying from three TO four weeks
according 10 the violence OF the complaint. Ner-
Tous disorders which always aggravated by the
'dulterated liquors usually prescribed by the phy-
acians, are readily cured by course OF this I'D
nirabIe combination medicine, In which the prop
rites Of stimulAut, a tonic and Alternative are |
apply blended.

WITT'S FOUNDRY.

TIE WHEAT CROP-OLD CORN-THE
CROP OF CANDIDATES, AND THE
RESULT.
Wheat threshing will soon be over,
and although it has not turned out
as many bushels by one third as peo-
pie expected, before threshing com
menced, yet there is at least one
third more wheat in the country now
than has been in any one year for
some time. The wheat as a general
crop is sound and tolerably clear of
filth and smut, but the grain is a lit
tie shrunk. owing, L suppose, to the
rust on the blade a few weeks before
harvest.
Old corn is about all consumed,
which will cause farmers to use more
flour than they arc in the habit of
doing, until their present crop of
corn natures. All things considered,
we will have about the same amount
of wheat for market the present
year that we have had in past years.
l don't think we ever had as fine a
crop of candidates in HambIen coun-
ty since its organization, as we have
at present-all good looking, and,
presume, qualified for the offices
they propose to fill yet I fear the
9th of August next will result dis
to about nine-tenths of
them, which will leave us with only
IN average number of officers.

turnpike company and others, in
which the State was pressing
for hearing, was set for
hearing, upon bill and answer, on
Saturday morning; but during Fri
day afternoon a portion of the pa
pers were distracted from the file,
during the absence of the Solicitor
for the State from his room at the
hotel-he having left the file in his
room and the door unlocked. Court
being on the point of adjourning, the
case had TO be continued till the pa
pers could be supplied. The dex
terity Of The trick was the occasion
of no little comment by the legal

public interest, we shall alludc TO it
more at length hereafter, and give, as
far as we are able, the points involv-
ed. so that the people may sec where

Tie MORRIsTowN GAZETTE wants
to know our private reasons for
refusing to accept free passes. The
editor probably knows what the pro.
verbs say about n gift. Railroads,
in their dealings with the public, are
fit subjects for newspaper criticism.
and we could do that duty more
gracefully, and with less partiality.
without pass in our pockets. But
aside from all this, we see no reason
why a newspaper man should not
pay his way like other people, and if
his business docs not enable him to
do so, he would better abandon it,
and seek something moro lucrative.

Owing to the great popularity
which Harris Great Relief has won
for itself as reliable family medi-
cine, there have been attempts made
by unprincipled parties to palm of
on the public an inferior article un-
der the name of Relief" by assert
ing that lit is just as good as
Harris" or that Sc it is just the same
as Harris, and other understandable
statements. The public is cautioned
against being led away by these at
tempts. The formula for Harris
Great Relief is our own property,
and can be used by no one else,
and any party therefore claiming
to make this preparation is unworthy
of any confidence, and should be
looked upon as a public swindle.

Now IN OEDER.-The Knoxville
papers Of Sunday contain full details
Of the little tantrum indulged in by
Capt. Rule, of the Chronicle, and
Capt. Ledgerwood, of the Knoxville
bar. The fight grew out of n report
Of Rules speech furnished the Press
and Herald by Ledgcrwood, in which
it was alleged Rule boosted of con-
trolling the Knoxville ring" Not
having time to waste in preliminary
Mcmphian correspondence, the bel
ligerents collided in front of Rev.
brother John f. Spcnce's store, on
Market square,-(as more Methods
tically moral ground, probably, than
could be found at Dalton.) The rem
counter resulted in Mr.. Ledgerwood
receiving q beautifully designed
blow sin the face, cutting to the
skull bone," and, in his own resign
ed, christian language, the loss "or
quite a wisp' of his capillary sub
stance. MIR. Rule paid tribute to |
the gods of carnage in copious drops |
of his heart S blood, drawn from the
back of his head, by means Of a
dextcrously handled walking stick,
in the use of Mr.. Ledgcrwood. All
this occurring on Saturday last. At
first blush, such exhibitions would
be pronounced wrong almost unani-
mOusly. But our conviction is, this
will result in the fresh propagation of
sound christian doctrine. If it has
the effect to elicit another private
letter from Rev. DIR. Ross on the
sublime virtue OF forbearance and the
moral grandeur of the anti-duelist,
good may result. Another letter
rom DIR. Ross is in order.

AN IMPORTANT JUDICIAL Decision
-OUR ATTACHMENT LAWS CoNsTRU
ED.-Among other important cases
disposed Of by the late term of the
Chanccry Court, Chancellor II. G.
smith, presiding,) was that of Mer-
rift vs.. Dickinson. an original attach
ment bill fled by the complainant
upon the ground that Che defendant
was about to remove his property
from the State. The defendant
pleaded in abatement, denying the
ground upon which the attachment
issued. There was no doubt from
the proof that the defendant intend
ed to remove his property from this
State to Macon, Georgia, within fif.
teen or twenty days from the time
the attachment issued, and that he
had actually started with it, and had
taken it about forty miles in the di-
rection of Macon. The question for
Court was, whether the defendant,
under these circumstances, was with
in the description Of persons who arc
about TO 7'enao0e their property from
the State and the entire case turn |

was astutely argued by the counsel

ton about, when used with the infn-
tive. means "near to in action, or
near to in the performance of some
act; ;" so that when q person is said
to be about to do q thing, he has not
only formed an intention Of doing
the act, but he is also upon the very
verge Of concentrating it. After
the case was thoroughly argued upon
both sides, the Court was of the
opinion that this was the true mean
ng Of the word about, as it is used
n the statute and the plea in abate-
nent wassustained accordingly. The
appealed to the Su-
,reme Court. The decision is one
