NEW JERSEY MATTEKS,
New Kaii.hoai> Entki:it:isk. —A strong move
ment is now being made in the New Jersey Legis
lature to obtain a charter for the “Manchester
and Camden Railroad Comply.” The advan
tages resulting to the State ot IScw Jersey,should
this elfort prove successful, will lie immense.
The proposed route of the road is from Camden
by way of Mcdl'ord, Brown's Mills, Hanover, Ac.,
to Manchester, in Ocean county. It will traverse
and open up a large district of the pme lands oi
Burlington and Ocean counties, the beneficial
ell'eets of which have been seen in the Camden
and Atlantic and West Jersey Railroads-—largo
tracts of land now almost worthless will be set
tled apd made productive; .fertilizers will be
easily accessible , and, the numerous superior
water-powers,in the eastern portion of the .State,
now running to waste, will be at once employed
lor manufacturing purposes. it will
open a new route lrom Philadelphia to
Lou"’ Brunei), almost in a direct line,
by connecting with lire Delaware and Raritan
Buy. Railroad at .Manchester, and it_wilL .insure,
the building of-the Barm-gat . and Manchester
Railroad, a charter lor which has already been,
obtained, thus' bringing into communication
with Philadelphia the district along the shore
from Tuckertou to Tom’s River, wnicli is now
almost inaccessible; A portion of the proposed
route will lie in one of the most fertile sections
of tlie State, passing through the mai l region,
and the fine farming country in the neighbor
hood of Medford.

A writer in qOhce a Week, speaking, it .
would teem, to an unaccustomed audience,
has tbit week made a show of apportioning
to M. Jacques Offenbaehlii3 right place in,
the world of air-producers. . .Offenbach, says
the writer, is a man in a mistaken .position, a
man over-estimated, a minnow claiming
and claimed to boa triton, one whom it is
the fashion of, the day to exalt to tho rank of
Auber and the musical, comedians. On
which assumption the Writer in Once a
Week proceeds in a strain df remarks,
the truth of which ha 9 probably struck
every musician long before it struck
the speaking critic. But it the critics
conclusions are in the main just and axiom
atic, his premises are not so septet- It j®
not true to assert that there is a tendency m
the present day to fall down and worship
Offenbach. Tt is not even true that the
world is disposed to appraise Offenbach at a
higher rate than his specific value. For
where has such a disposition been shown.'
Not in France, the land of his adoption. Ihe
French like Offenbach as a gay purveyor ot
unconsidered trifles; the first perhaps of a
thousand furbishers of bright nonsense
which glitters for a moment and
then is heard and seen no more.
Offenbach in France has made several
attempts to acquire a more solid position than
this, and has successively failed. Hib efforts
to gain the distinction of five-act or three-act
op<ra eomiqve have not met with the
slightest recognition even from appreciative
Paris. His “ Ilarkouf ’ was a signal failure;
“Jiolnnson Crusoe" no better. The truth
is that success in lyrical burlesque is not to
be confounded with the position held by such
a master of comedy as is Auber; and tuts
truth the Parisians feel, although it does not
seem to have struck the critic _in Once - a
Week. Not in France certainly is Offen
bach placed on a par w ith the author of the
“Domino Noir."
Is it then in Germany where he is so mag
nified? Scarcely, we would say. His
“Onrfue," his “Belle llnine, ’ and one or
two other operas have run through the capi
tals of the petty German States, much as all
fashions run which are set in Parts. Ine
flimsy and superficial tone of Offenbach might
be supposed to be derived from his residence
among “our gay neighbors;” it was F rench,
and to be French is to be chic, and to be c/ne
isto.be a la mode. Therefore, Germany
bore with Offenbach,and took a good-natured
interest in him, and laughed at music m
French motley. But.it is not to be imagined
that such music made any serious impres
sion, for good or ill. On the lthine-slopes
there is little danger of one’s acquiring a fatal
love lor champagne. Germany was free- oi
contagjon; it simply smiled and the fashion
went by.
Is Ollenbach overrated in England? It so,
where? At the Oxford Music Hall, where
the “ Orphic ” was first brought out? At the
Haymarket Theatre, where the same opera
was villainously sung, and ran some lour
weeks? At the Adelphi, where “IlcUn MH
,'nc" was yet more villanously sung? At Go
vent Garden, where the "Grande Duehesse
had an enormous run of from twenty-five to
thirty-nights? Or at the Gallery oi Illustra
tion, where “Ba-ta-clan" was played a mod

A sontlicrri Item—'Flic Way JlJnlon Men
sure Trciiletl by tlie Ex-llebelw#
[From the St. l’oul Preps. Feb. 11.1
Copperheads are loud in their denuncia
tions of “tyranny,” because some little force
is used in the protection of a few of the loyal
inhabitants of the region of country lately in
rebellion. Of course the conduct ot their
friends, the ex-rebels, as depicted below by
a reliable correspondent from unreconstructed
Kentucky, is all right:
A Union man here, if lie dare attempt to
maintain his sentiments,is almost as bad oil - as
was Dives,“barring” the lack of water; for he
is subject to every wrong that a hateful popu
lation may choose to inflict upon him, the
law is hopelessly inadequate to his protection.
As a consequence Union men are fast leaving
this State, and 1 know of hundreds from
Christian, Graves and other counties in this
district, who have sought new homes in Illi
nois. The fow loyal men here are subjected
to aggravated insults, which must be borne
with meekness; for, should an unlucky wight
attempt to redress a wrong, his life pays
the forfeit, or he finds himself an inmate
of a prison, while his aggressor goes at large
to renew his outrages upon the men whose
only fault was adherence to their country.
At every public gathering —elections, courts,
sales, and even Sundays—everybody _goe3
armed,and upon such occasions no opportunity
passes unimproved to have a quarrel with
- Union-men ;-this is-done-in order to geCan _
excuse to shoot them, or to drive them out
of the country. At the last election, when
ever a vote was cast for a Union man, the
crowd was certain to receive the announce
ment with hisses, groans and cries of
“ ni |r ger thief I” and similar epithets. It
was° galling to an American mind,
I assure you, but we had to bear it.
The courts are, almost without exception,
prostituted to this evil course. More than
one-half the men who enlisted into the Fede
ral army, in this section, have been driven
from home to avoid indictments found
against them for acts while in performance
of their duty; but scarcely a rebel officer or
soldier has been called upon to answer for
the numerous crimes committed during the
many raids into this district; and even
noted guerillas go: unwhipped of justice,
while proof of their atrocities can be
obtained in abundance. Two-thirds of
Gregory’s company of scouts —raised in this
and adjoining counties —are fugitives; but the
guerilla bands whom they fought so gallantly
areathome, and counted among our “best
citizens,” „ ; ... \ .
Such is the state offeehng in Western Ken
tucky to-day, and I fear even worse times
await us. Union men are merely auffired to
exist in rebel localities; they must either con
ceal their sentiments, or prepare to bear with
patience the indignities and harms which pub
lic sentiment visits upon them.
Xlotv Faraday CUoso I‘overty. .
In a recent lecture at the Royal Institution
in London. Professor Tyndall gave some in
teresting facts' respecting the late Professor
Faraday. Atone period of his life the_ ques
tion was brought before Faraday whether he
should choose wealth or science, and he de
termined to reject the seductions of riches,
and to devote himself to science, , with its
comparative poverty. After the discovery of
a magneto-electricity numerous offers were
made to him by which he might have
acquired a large fortune. In 1832-33,die
did gain, from the direction of his pro
fessional knowledge, commercially, upwards
of .£l,OOO per annum; and Professor Tyndall
said that he might readily have made -Si’',ooo
a year, but Faraday afterwards confined Ins
ten years of h6' l^o lainj?from )( piig™6«p temJlcctoi«d_rprfjsited. l *n4 wuf t»73a>t

Faraday, who •withdrew. A lady;* ' who was
a mutual friend of the tniniater and of the
philosopher, endeavored to reconcile them,
but Faraday told her that he would 1 only con
sent to see Lord Melbourne -again ton one
condition, with which he could toot expect
him to comply, and that was, that he should ■
make an apology. In a few days, however,
the apology came.
Faraday entertained the notionthat there was
Irish blood in his veins, and, as Professor;
Tyndall observed, there was an enthusiasm
about him which appeared to countenance
such an opinion, but in other qualities be was
not Irish. One of these was his love or order.
Ail the experiments he made ill the labora
tory of the Royal Institution were numbered,
and they were often referred to in succeeding
experiments; he alsb kept a private record or
his-experiments, the last onebemg numbered
Tyndall concluded by giving an
affecting account of Faraday during ins ill
ness, and read two letters whielfhe had writ
ten, in one of which, dated in the autumn of
1 8Gf», he alluded to his loss of memory, _ana
of not being able to recollect at the end ot
one line wnat he had written in the line be

ding off 3. E. by E., under double-reefed top
sails, foresail, reefed mainsail, and forctopuiast
staysail, wiuilWN. W-, blowing hard, and heavy
sea running. As daylight broke I saw, bearing
N. N'. E. from mo, something which looked like
two spar buoys, standing at an angle of bd
digrets, just as Cur ns thu eve could reach. As day
broke clearer could make out with the glass that
,it was a vessel waterlogged aud on her he un-cuds.
Then determined to go clo-o enough to
ascertain if there were any of the crew still on the
wreck. At 8.30 A. M. could with toe glass make
out what appeared to be two men on the port
quarter. On approaching nearer saw three men
waving a piece of white canvass; Btood close up
under the lee of the wreck anil hove to, got oat
large boat, in doing which stove one 6ide of her.
Mr Chas. Miller, chief officer, and three seamen
started for the. wreck. After groat exertion and a
hard pull succeeded in getting the captain and two
reaming men in the boat, aud got safely back to
toe bail, hoisted in the boat, and proceeded ou
toe voyage, taking the weak, famished men into
the cabin where there was a stove, giviug them
dry clothing and some stimulants and small
quantities of water often repeated, they haviog
bad nothing to eat or drink for seven days and
nights, witn too exception of when the mate
oied, two days previously, they all cut some o*
his raw lies'll and ate it, toe cook having died
before; the mate, and his body washed over
board. They were complete skeletons, the cap
tain being in the worst condition; his cheeks were
sunk in till they appeared to touch each other;
their feet and legs as high as their knees were
completely paralyzed and dead from long expo
sure and submersion in cold water and want of
exercise, as they had just enough of the wreck
above water to hold on to. They could not pos
sibly have survived that day through. had not
Providence kindly sent mo to their assist
ance. 1 gave them food by degrees, with small
dotes of brandy and Wutor, and rubbed their feet
with soap liniment; then put them to sleep in the
warm cabin. On waking the Captain gave me the
I'ollowlDg account of the loss of his vessel, stating
that two days previous to my falling in with him,
a brig, westward bound, name unknown to him,
saw them and stood towards them until quite near
(weather moderate at the time), when ho pat up
his helm and ran away from them. The schooner
was too Mubcs Waring, of New York,from Bruns
wick (Gebigia), bound to New "York with cargo
of: yellow pine flooring; encountered a heavy N.
E. gale oh December 11, when fifty miles 8. E. of
Abseeam, shortly after which sprang a' leak, and,
was unable, with both pumps going, to keep her
free; Bho settled so deep,and becoming unmanage
able, they cut the gripes which held the deck
load, and bad ho sooner accomplished this than
she foil over on her beam-ends, and the heavy
sea running at the time over her, washing away
deckload, cabin on deck, and all water and provi
-6J°lleie i leaving them perfectly destitute of cvery
thing but toe clothing they stood in. Thelrsuf
fcringe must have beenycry great, so much so
that they found, themselves obliged to cut up the
mates body, who liad-hufortnuately succumbed
before them on the fifth day. I did everything iu
my power to make them comfortable, and finally
succeeded in bringing them to life.

PBOffl NEW YORK.
New Yop.k, Feb. 17.—The floating ice in the
Hudson ilyer has recently destroyed a largo
amount of properly. On Saturday a coal barge,
while being towed up the river, was struck by a
field of ice. and immediately sunk, off Weahaw
ki-n. The cargo was worth -i3,000, and not in
sured. The schooner Jersey Boy, while lying at
the coal pier, had a bole’cut in her side by a
similar collision, and also went down. All along
the Jersey shore, as far np as Fort Lee, the piers
have been more or less damaged. One fine
wharf near Weehawken, which had cost the
owners over $5,000, has been carried away.
Among the passengers on the Moro Castle,
which arrived here last Friday, were three negroes,
Their story is a curious one. When but of tender
years, they were brought from Africa, and sold as
slaves in Cuba. Thirty years of dreary and ap
parently interminable, drudgery had been their
lot, when amoDtb ago they clubbed together the
$2O requisite to buy a ticket in a lottery. For
tune smiled on them and they drew a prize of
s£o,ooo. They at odcb purchased their freedom;
;il(1, impelled by an irresistible longing to return
io their home, took passage to-this port, and
started on Saturday for Africa, via Liverpool, in
ibe English mad steamer.
Early yesterday momiDg, John Darrqw, ol'No.
H 2 Hudson stieit, was met near Greene and
Honsion streets, by one Patrick Duffy, who.
wiiiiout any provocation, shot and wounded
him dangerously in tin* left breast. It is con
jectured that Duffy mistook Harrow for another
man. Tbe assailant was arrested by. Oflicor
Loughlin, of the Eighth Precinct, and is held to
i.v.ail thi r- suit of Harrow’s injuries. The latter
lies at Belli vue Hospital in a critical condition.
The steamship Palmyra, which arrived here on
Saturday, when off Sable Island on tho evening
of. the 12th inst., passed a ship on fire. She bore
down and steamed round her. The officers sent
up rockets and burned blue lights frequently, but
found no response. She appeared to be an Amer
ican-built ship of about 1,500 tons burden; had
jib-booms standing with jibs carefully furled, and
was burning below the main deck. After hover
ing atom d tier some time, and finding none of
her crew about, left her at 8.15 P. M.
