TIE BHEFANDOAB•
The Times has begun to perceive, at
last, that some stop ought to be put to the
buccaneering exploits of the Shenandoah
in the North Pacific. It suggests that
the British Admiralty should send out a
naval force sufficiently strong to capture
or destroy this marauder, and suggests
that,. when captured, Captain. WADDELL
-should be hung as a pirate. This advice
smacks of the old prcliverb which speaks
•of the wisdom of shutting the stable-door
after the steed was stolen. The proper
action on the part of the British Govern
ment should have occurred considerably
•earlier. The Shenandoah was built, fitted
, out and manned in England, and still is
British property ; for though she hoisted
the Confederate flag (as a substitute for the
regular death's head and crbss-bottes on a
black-ground), she never yet cast anchor
within any harbor at any time, or for any
time, possessed by "the so-called Southern
Confederation." Six months ago, that
pseudo-Confederation came to an end,
yet the Shenandoah still carries its fustian
flag.
The British Government, had it any earn
est purpose of carrying out the neutrality it
proclaimed, in Queen VICTORIAN name,
(fancy Kr. Gui.osivam assenting, in a Cabi
net council, to the principle and even the
language of these proclamations, and, at
the same time, having neatly folded up
in his pocket-book ConfederaV bonds for
VlO,OOO !) should have prevented the Ala
bama, the Shenandoah, and other such
vessels being built in and departing from
British ports. There lay the original blun
der, and we have TALLEYBAND's word for
it that a blunder in politics is worse than a ,
crime. For the injuries done to American
commerce hy British pirates sailing un.
der the Confederate rag, we have to hold
England responsible, in a political and in
a pecuniary point. Sir NORTON I'Epo
- who has judiciously expressed himself
with moderation and temper when
alluding to international politics, de
clared, in his speech at Chicago last
- week, that he was persuaded, when the
matter was fully investigated, that it would
appear that the British Government had
done every thing in its power to prevent
English ships being employed, under the
rebel flag, to injure American commerce.
Sir Moirrow Pnro is avowedly a liberal
man <and expresses himself in the most
friendly language towards the United
States, but he is impressed, like the majori
ty of his countrymen, with the idea that
the British Government was not to blame
if it delayed taking steps to stop the Ala
baina-at Liverpool until, after she had put
to sea. Pamianwroa has said so in the
Commons ; RUSSELL echoed him in the
Lords, and the press of England, with a
few exceptions, swelled the cry that if Bri
tish-built vessels were employed to ravage
American commerce, it was only a just
retribution on the United States for not
having let the South quietly glide into Se
cession, and from Secession into Nation
ality.
As the same time, while England thinks
so favorably of rebellion upon one side of the
Atlantic, see how sensitive she is to any
thing like it on the other. No sooner was
it Whispered that a few unarmed natives,
supposed to be infected with Fenianism,
were beiri'g drilled at midnight in some
counties of Ireland, (a country not much
larger than Maine,) than arrests were in
stantly ordered upon a large scale, and the
channel fleet immediately ordered to cruise
close to Ireland as a measure of precaution.
ON MONDAY .v.vExixe. one of the steam
cars on the Frankford Railroad ran into a
carriage and overturned it and its occu
pants down an embankment, into a pud
dle of water. Something should be done
to prevent the constant repetition of these
accidents, accounts of the majority of which
never appear in the newspapers. Colli
sions are oftentimes of daily occurrence—
sometimes two and three in a day—and
damage always results either to the unlucky
vehicle or the steam-car. In either case
there is danger to life. The boiler of the
car is but ill-protected, and if struck and
penetrated is quite likely to scald engineer
or passengers to death. The road is much
travelled,, but travel to any great extent
should be entirely prohibited. If owners of
wagons and horses do not reek for their
lives and property, the law should step in
to learn them common sense.
.
Tnr. camel - experiment is again to be
tried on the plains by an " overland camel
company?' The camels are be 'imported
from Algeria, and will do some of the
heavy transportation to our fellow-citizens
in the wilds. They can travel on roads
impracticable to wagons and in the inoun
tain passes, as well as on the plains, and
will be for years of immense utility. The
camel is the semi-civilized method of trans
portation, and is but the harbinger of
the railroads which will within the century
cover our western land with a giant
net-work.

Newspapers are said to be offshoots of
civilization, and, like full-leaved branches,
evidence the health and maturity of the
trunk from which they spring. Civiliza
tion, therefore, has extended into a terri
tory which even less than a score of years
ago was a perfect wilderness, and only a
hunting ground for savages. Even now it
has scarcely more than' 9,000 inhabitants,
whites and Indians computed, add yet the
whites are intelligent and progressive
enough to demand a newspaper. With
such pioneers to conquer our Western
Wilds, and prepare the way for our grow
ing greatness to the Pacific coast, is it any
that we are the forethost among the
nations in peace and in war ?
The Lincoln Monument..
At a meeting of the National Lincoln Ifonn
meat Association, held in Springfield, Illinois,
last week - , the treasurer's report showed the
gross receipts of the association, including
the interest on ;40 bonds, to be $13,000, of
which $51,000 are still in the treasury, the
balance having been expended for incidental
expenses. A very beautiful and apparently
appropriate design for the monument was
submitted by the Governor from a well-known
Vermont sculptor. it is a Corinthian column,
supporting a colossal figure of Lincoln, and
resting on a pedestal. Four groups, repre
senting the different branches of the military
service, occupy as many corners of the pedes
tal. At the base of the pedestal, and looking
outward from the colummare the figures of
{our boys upon pedestals, representing a sailor
boy, drummer boy, bugle boy, and nag boy.
• The design was universally admired by the
inembers,but no action was taken regarding it.

The American Sta ge.
Revolutionsnot only do not go backwards,
but often (like the whirlpools that sweep
everything into their - vortex) react, reform, or
change others beyond those they were or
gan
izecl to abolish or improve. The, new era
produced by the war will affect more things
than slavery, and extend to a wider space
than the South. We have already seen
that it has created an unwonted bustle in
trade Of all kinds ; has given an impe
tus to labor; a new tone to politics, and
new texts for private research and debate ;
and it is easy to predict that all. this liber
ty being true, of the few months succeeding
the rebellion, how many unequalled wonders
will startle the world when the energies that
have been quiet during four years of blood
shed are permitted to work with the tremen
dous vitality acquired in that long period of
rest and reflection. A total change in what is
merely a tolerated custom must take place in
the present organism of the American stage.
It would be incomprehensible if that which
should be a source and a means of public
amusement and instruction were allowed to go
on seeking for the lowest subjects with which
to debase the popular taste and to empty the
popular pocket,
It is contended that the war degraded the
American etage—an assertion which, however
true of some things, is certainly not true of
what was already so inferior when the war be
gan, as in some respects to seem beyond a
deeper decline, if not incapable of redemp
tion Let us admit, however, that the drama
in thie coue.try degenerated while our armies
were fighting; that only makes it a necessity
and a duty to improve and to elevate it in the
hours of peace and " neconstruction.o Before
considering this necessity and duty, let us
melt after the individual chiefs of the AmerL
can stage, and ask where they are fOund at
the end of the great struggle 1 And first about

venated from a long illness. For over two
months he was stretched on what for a time
threatened to be the couch of incurable in
vtdidism ; but the care of his physician (Mr,
Forrest is a stern believer in the homceopathic
system) and his own natural strength of body
and the philosophic habit that has grown out
of an education in the struggles of life such as
few men have lived to learn—all these have
carried him through, and he will begin a
course of Shakspeare in the New England
towns, about the middle of next month, in
almost his usual splendid health. It is known.
that Mr. Forrest, in his anxiety to improve his
own profession, some time ago pmjected a
kind of theatrical school, and erected a neat
brick addition to his residence, to which he
removed his noble picture gallery, and in
which he established, on a small but perfect
model, his stage, auditorium, orchestra ' tee.,
or the accommodation of the youth of both
sexes - who might be so fortunate as to obtain
admission to his college. His long illness and
necessary absence in his personations at the
theatres, have only postponed, let us hope,
the fulfilment and prosecution of this noble
design. We believe it is bis intention to se
cure the services of some old and experienced
actor, of tried integrity and character, 'to
superintend this instal/thin. Once in fair pro.
gress, with the aid and influence of Mr. For
rest's advice and presence, we can conceive
no more useful public benefit, nor could the last
scenes of his own eventful and distinguished
career, be more harmoniously tilled and hon
ored, than by the success of this theatrical
seminary, and the promising graduation of
the young men and women who had been
trained within its wills,

One realizes, as ha writes on this subject,
the death or absence from the stage of
many of those who have been chiefs in

co temples of amusement, are all mak.

for their owners. Wheatley's income is very
large. His success has been unexampled.
The owner of Pike's Opera Honse, in Cin
cinnati, d'unlOr has it, contemplates a mighty
edifice in New York—which is to combine
all the varieties of music, comedy, tra.
gedy, pantomime, and spectacular grandeur.
As we note that even the stage in Salt Lake
City is prosperous,we gather anew page in the
history, of the rebellion, and see how poorly the
players are doing in the South. In Richmond.
Norfolk, New Orleans,Memphis, Nashville, and
of course, Louisville and St. Louis, the thea
tres are all in full blast, with few familiar
names on their bills, not the less certain, on
that account, let us hope, of being the begin
ning of first-rate reputations. But else
where all is sad. The track of war was one
wide desolation—blotting out many of
the most elegant and luxurious iheatrieal
cities in the insurgent regions, depopulating
whole commonwealths, and forcing work upon
those who had only known what labor was in
the ease with which they squandered its pro
ceeds.
Somuch for a glance at the personale of the
the stage. Of its morale little can be said in
the way of pitiful Let us illnatrate by taking
the plays now in vogue to crowded horses in
Philadelphia. At the Walnut we have "Lady
Audley's Secret," a wretched sensation story,
based on bliss Braddon's hysteric novel of
that name, teaching the MONS of hypocrisy,
falsehood and cupidity so well that, although
these vices are punished in the final catastro
phe, the success of the she-villain will betaken
by some young people rather as a temptation
thane as a warning. At the New Chestnut We
have Miss Helen Western in masculine charac
ters, very rude, very free, very muscular, and,
we must add, very vulgar. At the New Wal
nut Miss hate Fisher, handsome and horsy,
is doing the same kind Of Characters in the
effective style. At the Arch there is a diffe
ience in tboorift&-of pieces, but" The Serf"
of the flash flashy, anti really imparts no lessoll
that can be remembered or followed. We are
to have Dirs. Lander Davenport at this house on
the 2d of October—a very comforting fact. But
even this chaste artiste must advertise for a
spoiled public taste, by appearing in what is
either unnatural or doubtful. The fixed
fashion, or rather the adherence to the fixed
fashion, controls everything ; and lie will be
a bold man who can cure or change it for
something sensible or probable. Nor is it the
fault of our managers ; they do their best.
It is the fault of the market, foreign as well
as domestic; and, though ready to pay the best
prices for plays and players, and spurred by a
sharp and hot competition, they cannot pur
chase what is not to be had. Who is to dis
cover the remedy 1 Why is it that the stage
does not feel the elevating influences of
the times ? Never have the sciences

there is only one who teaches the genuine phi!
losophy of real life ; who vindicates, the best
moral maxims ; who lashes the wanton vices
of the world, and makes us ambitious that our
common experience shall be felt and followed
for good. That one is Charles Dickens. When
we think of the salutary infludnces of his sto

Captain Cuttle, and Walter, and Cawker, and

mere thought of the cricket brings to us the
dear old Christmas times,) for David Copper

writings of that world's benefactor. "Our

now running through Harper's Magaene, is a
perfect Nevada of precious metals, in the
shape of incidents, situations, language, and
above all in the valuable impreeilons and pre

Because what is known as the Theatie pro-
per as fallen into these loose practices,
the opera has become popular with the
intelligent and maned, The early stage
was not only dedicated. to dramatiC, poe•
try, bui also to music as sung 'in chorus.
This was undoubtedly true of thC Greeks,
with whom the theatre originated. In many
cases, and for many years, the recitative,
uas preceded or superseded by the lyric
artists. "The whole structure of the thea
tre,” says the historian. "may be traced to
the chorus, whose station was the original
centre of the whole performance)) The
opera is undoubtedly fashioned after these
ancient models. What we knew as the Italian
opera is the foundation of the French and
German. The Pindaric ode became the fash
ion, and poetry, written to be sung, 'not
spoken, tilled the Italians witli a sort df poetic
euency, and soon extended to, other nations,
'reaching Englazul and the 'Craned States last.

shown, fallen far below the high destiny that
it ought to labor , for criticism. Although in
the structure of the , mOdern drains, Italian or
German, the unities are often _flagrantly dis
carded, the plot involved; and. the language
generally unintelligible, yet the music ex
ercises a most soothing effect. Nay, it may
claim a high mission; for we have seen
that where delicious harmonies of the
great masters are studied and repeated,
the rudest are softened and refined, and
rough tastes and habits subdued and given
up in the excitement of the emulation pro
duced by a feeling, once realized, never
forgotten. We are gratified to know that
there is to be no lack of progress, and of inf.:
proved progress, in the opera during tile'
winter. Maretzek and Gran are evidently to
be the high rivals ; but there is a harvest for
both, and a wide field for their largest ex
penditures. They Catillat mistake in pro•
curing the very best talent. Dir. Bateman's
new card, Madame " Tarepa," stirs the world
of harmony in advance of the "grand
model! of choristers and instrumentalities
of all degrees. She is said to be a wonder
of her school, and is still singing to unabated
crowds in New York. We hear that Mr. Leon
ard Grover, of the New Chestnuthere, and the
temple of his Own name, in the National ORA
tal, will contend with the boldest for the con
trol of the best Operatic people; but whether
he will reinforce Maretzek. or Grau, or start a
troupe of his own, remains to be seen. He is a
bold man, and we could wish success to no
more patriotic, generous and philanthropic
citizen.
The Grand Fair for the Soldiers.
THE GREAT PREPARATIONS -IfOR IT-CONTRIBU
TIONS PROM THE WHOLE COUNTRY-OUR DEBT
TO THE DISABLED VETERANS.
AS the Opening day of the great liar for the
Soldiers' and Sailors' Home draws near, the
interest in it increases, and not only Phila
delphia and Pennsylvania, but New York and
the New England States are awakened to the
national importance Of the event. With peace
has come' ,new responsibility; we no longer
need Sanitary and Christian Commissions to
provide for the comfort of soldiers in
the field, but gratitude, justice, honor,
require that we should take proper
care of those veteran soldiers who have
come home from the war mutilated, pen
niless, friendless ' and unable to work. To
Philadelphia the honor belongs of first esta
blishing a Home for these gallant men. Two
years ago the building at Race and Crown
streets was taken by a committee of promi
nent ladies and gentlemen, and since then it
has been filled with deserving veterans. It is
now entirely too small to admit one half
Of the applicants, and the managers, by this
great Fair, desire to raise a building gad en
dowment, and thus to re-establish the Home
upon a basis worthy of the nobility of its pur
poses and the gratitude of the nation. That
they will be energetically aided by the ladies,
the merchants, manufacturers, and farmers
of Pennsylvania, we are assured; but our
citizens should spare no effort to make this
great Fair one of the meet brilliant successes
of Philadelphia's benevolence. New, Eng
land, New York, and New Jersey have shown
a noble spirit. They remember the hos
pitality of the Philadelphia Refreshment
Saloons, where nearly one million of soldiers,
passing through the city, were supplied with
meals, and recognizing the nationality of the
Home, they are giving it their liberal and
earnest support. Host of the leading NeW
England manufacturers halo contributed
generously, and in very many of the Eastern
cities the ladies have formed committees in
aid of the fair.
All this is very encouraging, It is evident
that the people have not forgotten their debt
to the few thousands of disabled veterans who
are homeless in the land they have saved. The
success of our Home will probably lead to the
consolidation for that of other enterprises
here, the establishment of similar institutions
in the other States, and at a comparatively
small expense, every deserving veteran who
has - lost limbs or health in the battles for the
Union, will find shelter, and, if he is able, oe.
cupation. All that is now needed is energy
and co-operation. The Fair will begin Octo
ber 2&l, and whoever would share in its tri
umph should begin to work for it at once.
The Shooting Cases In Richmond.
From the Richmond papers of Monday we
take the following particulars of the shooting
case, the points of which were yesterday ape•
cially telegraphed to The Press:
On Friday night about 10 o'clock, a man
named It. EL Meade was shot, en Franklin
street, opposite Metropolitan Hall, by a wo
man named Isabella Ould, the ball entering
the back to the left of the spinal colunia, and.
ranging forward, remained in the body. The
two were first heard in an altercation in the
street, the woman- exclaiming in piteous
tones, "Don't leave me 1" At that time the
woman-was standing in the door of the
restaurant opposite the " Eureka," and
Meade was in the street, a few feet distant
from the door. While the woman was plead
ing, "Don't leave me," Meade halted for a
moment, but suddenly turned upon his heel
and started down the street, when Mrs. Oald
stepped out of the door into the street and
fired upon Meade, the ball taking effect as
above described: After receiving the shot h jie
staggered back a few steps and exclaimed,
"Liz, don't shoot me any more." When the'
police came up, almost immediately after the
Idring, they found the woman approaching the
wounded man, who was stooping to the ground
searching for a brick. Both were taken into
custody. Meade was carried to a house near
by, where his wound was properly dressed by
Dr. White. Mrs. Could, after her arrest, begged
to be allowed to see Meade, and was taken into
the house where he was lying. Her face was
badly swollen, as if from a severe blow; and
it was alleged that she had been struck with a
brick by Meade previous to the shooting‘Ms
soon as she saw the wounded man shdliaix
claimed, "Oh, Bob, Bob, how are you! - Will
you forgive mei I begged you to save me
from ruin, and you would not !" saying which
she covered her face with her hands and burst
into tears. Meade responded, rather sul
lenly, "Well, you say I've ruined you, and now
you tried to, kill me. you've got all my
money !" Mrs. Ould quickly replied, "I don t
- want your money," and thereupon drew from.
her, pocket a roll of bills and a watch and
chain, and handed them to the wounded man.
Several of the bystanders reminded her that
she had better keep some of the money; but
she replied, "No, I don't want it; be dead
before he will !" Mrs. Ould was carried before
the provost judge on Saturday morning, but,
owing to the condition of the wounded man,
the examination was postponed and the ac
cused sent to prison in default of one thou
sand dollars, Mr. atarroaduk - e JOhnsou ap
peared as counsel for the accused. Mrs. Isa
bella Ould is about thirty years of age, rather
prepossessing in aparance, and came to this
country from London, England, seven years
ago. She has been married once but is child
less. She has been acquainted with Meade for
about three years, during part of which time
she is said to have been living with him as his
wife. For some months past the two have
beenjointly interested in a bar-rope:loß Frank
lin street, opposite Metropolitan Hall. She
states that Meade had promised to marry her,
and that when he left the house on Friday
night she knew he was on his way to Manches
ter to Visit a young lady whom he had engaged
to marry to-night (Monday).During the day
(Friday) she had implored him not to desert
her, and he had, but a few hours previous to
the shooting, taken a solemn oath that he
would not.
Meade is about thirty-three years of age,
and fOr4o3offle time past has heen employed as
an agent on the Orange and Alexandria Rail
road. On Saturday morning he was doing tol
erably well, and, with the consent of his phy
sician, was moved to .the residence of a Mr.
Hooper, in Manchester to whose daughter, it
Is said, he was to have heen. married tonight.
Mr. Perkins, a huckster in the First Market,
who resides on the corner of Belvidere and
Cary streets, in Sidney, was aroused on Satur
day night by his wife who insisted that rob
bets were endeavoring to get into the house.
Not believing that anything wrong was the
matter, he soon fell asleep again. In the mean
time his wife got up to examine the premises
and ascertain whether her fears were ground
less, which she was doing when Mr. Per
kins was again roused. by whet he supposed
was the noise made by some burglar. Seizing
a pistol he had in his chamber, lie Bred upon
her just as she was coming down stairs on her
return to her chamber. The effect of the shot
was to kill her instantly. As soon as Mr. Per
kins discovered his fatal mistake, he awoke
his neighbors with the cry, "I have killed my
dear wife," and gave expression to the most
poignant grief. The relations between the
parties thus suddenly separated, had always
been of the mostplessant character, and there
is no circumstance Connected with the affair
to induce the impression that it was anything
but one of the most painful and heartrending
accidents which ithas been our duty to record
for many a long day. Mr. Perkins, in" his so
vere affliction, has the sympathy o 1 a number
Of friends and neighbors.
Pendleton's Speech in Richmond.
(From the Richmond Republic.)
The
_people of Richtnond were addresSed on
Saturday night at the City Hall by Mr. Pen
dleton and Mr. Barbour, two of the candidates
for Congress in this district. We were as much
delighted with the admirable address of Mr.
Barbour as disappointed and chagrinedby that
of Mr. Pendleton.
From the well-written and most interesting
card in which the latter gentleman introduced
himself to the people as a candidate for Con
gress,.we _expected to hear from him on this
occasion the, speech of a conservative friend
of the Union, who had suffered in its behalf,
and was determined, more than ever, to sup
port its cause hy, inculcating among thepeople
wherever he went the most liberal sentiments
of forgiveness and reconciliation. We are
sorry and disappointed to hear very different
sentiments expressed in his address, which
was yiolent,ill-natured and extravagant in the
highest degree—a speech that would. much bete
ter have suited the angry era of the war than
the present conciliatory period of pacification
and reconstruction.
One of the laws of Congress, against which
there exists no objection of unconstitutionalt
ty, whatever else may be its demerits, pre
scribes a stringent oath as a qualification ne.
cessary to admission to a seat in that body. At,
this law of the land Mr. Pendleton sneered in
the moat eentemptuous manner ; spoke of the
Congress which passed it as idiots ; and, while

rit. He went on to speak of four Federal gene
rale, who had quartered on his farm before the
pampalgn of the Wilderness ; and alluded,
with apparent gratification, to the fact that
three of them bad-been slain in battle a few
days after leaving his premises, as if a special
Providence bad thus interfered to mark them
with its disapprobation, and as if the grave it
self could not relieve its victims from the ani
mosities of Mr. Pendleton. That a speech de•
livered in such temper does not suit the pre
sent circumstances "o the South,must be ap

we would gladly avoid the necessity of doing
so, if possible, yet we should be recreant to our
`duty if we did not visit 'linen these portions of

The law of Congress prescribing the test

out of the exigencies and passions of the war,
out of cireumetances which all may deplore, ,

be obeyed until it shall be legally , repealed..

Cato/Lao, Sept. 22, 1865
Leaving Pittsburg at 3 P. K, on the PlUS
burg, Fort Wayne, and Chicago Railroad, we
passed rapidly westward along the banks of
the Ohio. I was struck with its general re•
semblance, both in width and the appearance
of the banks on either side, to the Delaware
a short distance below Easton, Pa.
We arrived at Alliance at about 7 P. M.,
where an excellent and bountiful supper was
prepared for the passengers, to which they did
full justice. Night closed around 'us; but,
having fortunately secured a comfortable
berth in the fine sleeping-car attached to the
train, we were soon sleeping soundly and com
fortably, our slumbers only being interrupted
by the summons of the gent in charge of the
car to prepare for breakfast, as we were ap
proaching Fort Wayne. Rising, we found
our shoes polished at the entrance to the
berth; a marble wash-stand with hydrant
attached ; mirror, comb, and brush near
by ; and, but for the comparatively narrow
proportions of our couch and a slight runlb- .
ling of the train, it would not have been diffi
cult to imagine that we had been passing the
night in a hotel. Railway travelling has been
reduced to a science by our lirst-class roads,
and we are not quite sure that many of those
who avail themselves of the facilities afforded
do not find their physical wants more agreea
bly supplied while on a journey than during
their quiet residence at home. During the
whole long route from Pittsburg to Chicago—
four hundred and sixty-eight miles—the coun
try is so perfectly level that scarcely a single
natural obstruction of the road existed; but
what surprised me was that I noticed scarcely
a point where the horizon was not bounded
by a vigorous growth of thriving timber. I
did not see one single bona-fide prairie—part
of the land was saturated with water, being
abandoned as swamp land;. and this resem
bles very much in general appeeranee the
marshy meadows which lie a short distance
west of - Atlantic City, N. J., but they were
only of limited extent, and immediately in
their rear the wide-Spread and almost unin
terrupted growth of timber which abounds in
northern Ohio, northern Indiana and northern
Illinois, was everywhere perceptible. But a
small portion of the laud through which we
Passed to-day was cultivated. We saw no
stock, and very few farm-houses. The line of
the road is almost perfectly straight. Stand
ing on the rear platform and looking back we
could see the/ rails apparently converging un
til they appeared to reach a single point, and
if we had trusted to the evidence of our own
eyes, regardless of the mathematical axiom
that two parallel lines can never approach
each other, we-would almost have been forced
to conclude that the track united. at the dis"
taut point in view. It becomes easy to under
stand how and why it is that the whole West
is so completely gridironed with railways. The
eost and labor of completing them only com
mences where in Pennsylvaniaand other East
ern States among our rugged mountains,rolling
plains and deep valleys it is almost ended. In.
the East, the great labor is to make the neces
sary excavations and tunnels and to build the
high banks. In the West, they have simply to
lay down the cross-ties and% fasten on the rail
road iron. The statistics are not at hand, but
there is no doubt that on a few miles of some
of your Eastern roads &stanch money has been
expended as was necessary to lay down the
track of some entire lines in the West. • A
kind Providence seems to have not only made
the great West the granary and garden of the
world, where all the great food staples can be
produced to an indefinite extent, but the natu
ral outlets by which these products can be for
warded to the markets of the world have been
bestowed in an equally bountiful degree. To
the mighty waters of the Ohio and Mississippi,
and the great lakes on the north leading to
the St. Lawrence, and thence to the Atlantic,
has been added such a - surface as renders the
construction of gigantic railways almost as
easy as the construction of ordinary turnpikes
in the East. •
We arrived at Chicago at about 1 o'clock P'
M., having made the trip from Philadelphia, a
distance of nine hundred and twenty-four
miles, in less than thirty-eight hours, an ave
rage rate of speed, including all stoppages, of
more than twenty-four miles per hour, and
not one of our party evincing the slightest
symptoms of fatigue,.but all concurring in the
judgment that our journey here had been ex
tremely pleasant. I will remain in this fine
city for too brief a period to properly examine
its many attraction% and gain information in
regard to its public institutions and extensive
trade and commerce. As we entered the su
burbs the huge grain elevators on the borders
Of the lake and the Chicago river (which runs
through the city) rose into view ; also many
largeholfd and lumber-yards, and great piles
of a l &i-bituminotis coal, which does not
sparkle like the black diamonds of Pennsyl-
Valliai but bears a hue resembling the color of
slate. We soon entered the bush:Lead streets of
the city, which by their width and the beauty
of the stores, hotels and dwellings, present
a very imposing appearance. Chicago re
minds me somewhat of Newark, New Jer
sey, although it is of course much larger.
Here nearly all the great railways of the
West converge, bringing from the North,
South and West immense trains of livestock,'
wheat, lumber and coal. I was glad to iearn
that the city had never been more prosperous.
Trade and business of all kinds are unusually
active. Although the wheat crop has not been
good, it has by no means proved a failure, and
the present corn crop of the West is the best
ever raised. Most of it will be consumed in
feeding stock, which it is to be hoped will, in
future years, supply your Eastern cities with
an abundance of meat at reasonable pricee•
-- The Bucks County Intelligencer says : A cor
respondent at Quakertown communicates
to us some expressions usea by Colonel Davis
in a public speech made last fall at the tavern
of E. T. Sterner, in that place. He is repre
sented to have said on that occasion : "If
Abraham Lincoln is re-elected to the presi.
dential chair, take my word for it this will be
the last chance you will ever have to vote for a Pre
sident of the United States." This corresponds
exactly with other sentiments publicly ex
pressed by Colonel Davis after he had left the
army, and with the course of his paper while
he was still in the service. His, own declare
tions show that he stands upon the same po
litical platform as Frank Hughes, William B.
Reed, and other deadly oppertents of the war
for Union and freedom. His position is as far
as possible removed from thakof the gallant
Hartranft, whO never professed one set of
'principles in the - field - While doing his best to
establish the opposite policy at home.

Economy's a first-rate thing,
And often has been known
The poor, get prudent, wight to bring
A vast estate to own.
But oh! my friend, far from thy heart
May that vile impulse be,
That prompts the wretched miser's part,
Whose wealth is misery,
If comfort smiles not on his lot,
How does it matter aught
That he the hoarded cash has got
That might have comforts bought?
The man of smaller wealth enjoys
- More of tine opulence,
If what he earns he still employs
With spirit,.yet with sense.
Then let th.l , cheerful dwelling show
A. snug, not pompous, trim;
Let ample tires in winter glow,
To warm the heart and limb;
