We have already stated. that Frederick Mil ler hai been convicted at Cumberla n d on two indictments, one tbr the murder of 1)1.. Iladel, and the other for the murder of Henry Graaf. It appears .that the jury before whom he was tried .for the murder of Dr. Ihdel returned a verdict of ".auilly of (minter in the first degree, but not Issi/ty of murder in the second degree nor of ma lisle:ugh ter." To the form of this verdict his counsel ob jected. on the ground of informality, and made a motion in arrest of judgment. The court, without deciding upon the objection raised by the counsel. proceeded immediately to try the prisoner on the indictment for the murder of Graph'. The testimony was nearly the save as that in the case of Dr. iladel.--The Cum t erlaml Telegraph says : The chain - of testimony was so perfect that the counsel on both sides waved discussion be, fore the jury. They retired and were absent about twenty minutes, when theybrought in a verdict of murder in the first degree. The prisoner st: ore the conntr • convicted or The State Legislature.

Bal timore and Philadelphia, is past.:, it is a • qix e d . fact" that every one would. be pecuniarily ber,- _etitted in proportion - to-the aninu nt.,of his-prop erty or the character of his bUsiness. No in telligent farmer, who looks at the subject in a cot tnnon_sense_rvaint_oLxiew,_and —ea kola-kir-- the advantages of a railroad in enhancing the value of his land, and in affording increased facilities for reaching the tuurkets witichis pro duce, arpi bringing back in return, at a reduced rate, fertilizers for his soil, can reasonably hesitate or refuse to aid in building a Road. To you. Farmers, are the great advtunages of a Railroad to accrue. From you, then, must the required aid come. Such aid must yet be - furnished by the subsetiption of more stock Before the road can be:put under contract. Sonic Farmers have done their duty nobly but many, Who tire dreply interested, have subscribed nothing., This is apparently the last effort: 'and it now remains with you to say whether Adams county shall have a Railroad, and your lands he-increased iti.valo c 10. 15 or 20 dollars per acre, or whether this final strug , gte shall - be allowed to result in the inglorious failures which have heretofore characterized our effiirts. • The Boat d of Directors have. after much re flection and consultation with adepts in the business of making railroads, concluded that t h e on ly fea&ible plan, under present circum stances, (and its feasibility depends upon a contingency explained • in'" what follows > ) is to grade and bridge the road. and preplre it for the superstructure, and then issue anti sell Bonds to raise money to complete it. They have the assurance that if the road is Graded and Bridged, the- Bonds will sell for $B5 per SlOO cash, and many of them can be disposed of at their uIl value in the contract for the iron. The Board have two prepositions made them thus to Grade and Bridge the road —one for the direct route, which is over a 'very broken, undulating surface of country, for $115,000, $•20,000 Of which the contractors propose to take I :stock of the company, and the balance, ts(J5OO, to be paid i» money. - The other, for the route via( xtbrd, which is one - mile and seven-eights longer, but over a more even and gently undulating surface, for $105,000. V2(1,- 000 of Which the •contractors propose to. take in•stuck, and the balance, 585.000, in money. _By adopting the first route, the direct one, the difference in the cost of grading it would about pay for the cost of the lion required on the Oxford route for the difference in - the diS tances of the two routes. The road would, be more direct, but have more grades on it, the country being intersrrsed with numerous hills and valleys. The road would never be so substantial and economical as tine over a More level country, because there would be deep cuts and high embankments, which are al„ ays requiring repair from the action of the weather; and the numerous curves would greatly retard the speed. By adopting the Oxford. route, the cost for the completion of the road will not be increased —=it-anything, lessened—the grades and curves would not be so numelous,•the repairs of the road hereafter will not be so great. the road. itself will accommodate a larger portion of the country, and the portion of stock subscribed conditionally will be obtained fOr that route which would ' not be subscribed to the direct route. Besides, the road will be, on a direct route to York should it ever be found practi cable to make a load from York to Gettysburg. If the direct route were adopted and the road completed, and a road should be made from York to Gettyshurg, the llanover road would be entirely useless—lost. For these and other reasons the Board have concluded that the Ox ford route is, tinder present circumstances, the only practicable route. But there is a contingency—there must be, at least, $15,000 inure of stock subscribed in the county before The contract for grading and bridging can be absolutely closed and ieleases of the r ight of way !last be obtained. In or der to ascertain who will release tine right of way, the proposed contractors will endeavor to locate the road so as to enable the farmers over whose lands it May pass to judge of the ad -vantages or disadvantages of such location,. and thus to regulate their actions in releasing and subscribing stock. When a reasonable number of those who live along the line of the road release the right of way (and it is hoped that all will be thus liberal) and 15 or 20,000 dollars more in stock has been raised, the grading and bridging of the-road will be con tracted for absolutely. And when this :s done the Board anticipate and have an assu rance of the means of a speedy completion of the road. All that is wanting now is a com mencement in the work. This can and will be made as soon as a sufficient amount ofstock is subscribed to make up the small deficit. An .opportunity ,will now be given by the Board, through agents, to every one in the county to aid in this }inject ; and it is confi dently hoped that no property holder in the county, who has his own pecuniary interests •• the Dithlir omincr—W. and the good of the public at heart, will (le cline taking stock in proportion to his means. The money will not he lo•t the investment will be a good one to property holders. Sev eral who have subsci ibed liberally propose to duable their subscriptions rather than see the project fail. llow, then, can other', who have subscribed nothing,, or but a trifle, rest easy and see a public enterprise like this fail for the want of a few thousand dollars. This is the last effort that a disheartened Board will make, and unless sustained liberally by the public, who are deeply interested, and indeed the sole beneficiaries, they must abandon, as hopeless, the long-talked of project of a Railroad to Ad ams county. .Look to your irate rests,- Farm ers*. and do not let this last effort, this most acceptable proposition, result in a failure and be rejected fur the want of a little ‘'lnaterial aid" from you which must in the end reward you amply. Progress is the sentiment of the day, and it becomes you all to sacrifice much of individual purpose. coiutbrt and ease on the altar of the general good. And by so doing, Adams county can again herald forth that sett. : theent, and rejoice in its prosperity.
