MOTLEY'S PIEFUR EOF AANT
The following from the mouth of John La
throp Motley is the true picttire of the man
against whose reputation the slander-mills at
the rebocracy are running day and night
without ceasing
* * * * When the living roan
becomes suddenly before our eyes an historic
personage, It is dill mit, perhaps, to judge
aim as c trent Ily as we may the heroes of tht
past. lam no hero-worshipper, and it has al.
ways seemed to me that the true hero of this
most 'input tot ep tell in our history is the
American Peopl.J. Whatever was greatest
and best throughout the war, was dine by the
people. And it is exactly because Gen. Grant
is a singular embmlitnent of many of the
trust prominent characteristics and best vir•
tires of that pc.iple, alms he seeme the fittest
man to be chos tn our Chief Magistrate. I
believe that from the time our Generalissimo
received the surrender of the Rebel armies up
to the paind when he became the candidate
.if to distinct party organization, it was rare
enough to find any disposition to detract from
his lame. For one I confess that the senti
tent I tind most necessary to guard against
amen C miemplating his wondrous career.
and the strange shnplicity 1111(1 repose of his
character, Is a tendency to over enthusiasm.
Chrough the misty atmosphere which belongs
to the past, conspicuous personages are apt to
dilate into more than mortal proportions,
while we are, not unreas mably, inclined to
so-in very close ly the defects and the preten
sions of contemporary greatness. Ia truth,
:he, very simplicity of Gen. Grant's character
makes the great things which he did seem
simple, too. There can be no surer • test of
power than the ease with which it accom
plishes herculean tasks ; yot the spectator,de
ceived by symmetry itself, often Mistakes the
colossal for thacommociplace. We all seem
afraid of uttering that ono word in regard to
this shy, tranquil, twobtruslite matt, which
really characterizes him—the word genius.
The very modesty of the man himself, seems
I to rebuke all tendency of exaggeration. Yet,
after all, this is exactly what Gen. Sherman
says in his famous add beautiful letter, while
avoiding the phrase ; "My only point of doubt
'eras in your knowledge of grand strategy,
sit of batiks of science and history ; but 1
confess your common sense seems to have
supplied all these." And what is that coni•
non sense which supplies strategy, BCICIIC..,
history, but genius. * * Not be
causb he is a great soldier—deep as the debt
of gratitude is.which the nation owes him—
but biicause during the whole of his career he
has tnairifested those civic virtues which in•

hope when danger and disaster were thickest;
self command in the hour of immense sue.
colts; patience and self-forgetfulness lacier 'la
mented obloquy—these qualities are 's& strik
ing in him as his utter hut ifference to a fame
which mitcht well dazzle and lead astray the
strongest intellect. He seems utterly without
ambition, and tills is the reason why he is one
of tho few successtul soldiers of history whom
it will seem safe for the people to have trust
ed. From the hour when he was surprised
to find in themews papers that he had been
appointed brigudier-genetal of volunteers
down to the mement when a higher grade
than ever known in our armies was created
for him, Ile never felt the least anxiety for
promotion. But self-control under unmerited
and preposterous disgrace Iron ever ternpora
ry, seems to prove,. more than any of his deeds
the greatness of Ls character. Remember
that immediately after the famous victory of
Fort Donelsouju which he had presented 15,
000 prisoners, 17,000 small arms, and 60 can
non to the United Statts,he was most unjust.

"can feel mina pleasure than myself at your
richly-deserved promotion. Anything you
may require, send back transports for and, it
within my power, you shall have it." And
at lililliken's Bend, when preparing that last
magnificent movement against Vicksburg,
through which he saw his final triumph as
sured ; when the country, weary of delays
and aghast at his boldness, was clamoring for
his removal ; when our enemies all over the
world were shouting, " As well pluck the
stars from the sky as attempt the capture or
Vicksburg '•" when even his friends turned
from him ; but when one plain man who sat
in the White House, said "I rather like the
mnu ; I think set 'II try him a little longer,"
how could a soldier prove greater claims upon
the confidence of the country than he did at
that motneut of almost universal despondency?

INTERES I ING GOSSIP.
The Washinaton correspondent of the Phil
adelphia Star descants as follows upon some
very interesting subjects :
==r!
There are many rumors as to Col. Forney's
intentions. They say the course of the Press
has lost most of its subscribers, and much of
its business. But this Is not true, as every
candid newspaper man must admit. The pa.
per never had more advertising than it has
now, and a good newspaper, us the Press is,
never loses in circulation fur any temporary
political idiosyncrasy it may choose to adopt.
There is another rumor that the Press has
been or is to be sold. Thu story Is that Col.
Forney is desirous of giving his whole alien
thin to the Southern Pacific Railroad, of widen
he is a dirt ctor, and which promises to make
him enormously rich. That he is disgusted
with politics, and feels that his entanglements
with politics and politicians will make It im
possible Mr him to make the Press whet he
would like to—u thoroughlyludependent news
paper.
CAMERON'S GREAT DADA'
There Is a story also that a new paper la
soon to be started in Philadelphia. Doti
Cameron, J. Gillingham Fell, and ex-Senator
Cattell, are named as the men who are to fur
nish the greater portion ofthree hundred thou
sand dollars, for the bear enterprise. The
newspaper is to be the size of the N. Y. Times,
and of sinffilar make up, the intention being
to give to Philadelphia a newsp per in every
way equal to the daillts of New York, .and
one of which shall have an Influence and
power, nationally, equal to the . greatest of
them. I understand there is great difficulty
in the selection of au editor. Russell Errett
and others urge Mr. Brigham at present the
able editor of the Pittsburg dommercial, but
13rigain le an owner In the Commercial, and
does not care to leave.
The Administration influence, through See
retary Robeson, Horace Porter, and Mr. Cat•
toll, seems to Incline to Mr. John P. Foley as
the proper person for the editorship of the
aew paper. Mr. Foley 'sat present the Editor
of the National It spublican of this city, which
is the personal organ Of the President. Ile is
a graduate of the New York Tribune and the
New York Times, an able and brilliant writer.
and is what many great writers are not, a
thorough journalist in every way. lie Is a
sort of a favorite at the White House, and I
have no doubt Ithe cares to go to Philadel
phia he can get the new paper without much
trouble.
But, I hear he is booked for the editorship
of a new paper soon to be started In Balti
more, and like all New York men, be prefers
any place to Philadelphia. Dear me, what a
heard name our dear old city has among the
outside newspaper world. Why is It? I
think 1 will have to Interview some of these
prejudices] fellows and give their grievances
in the Star in some future letter.
GILA.VESTONE HUM.OR
A. Washington letter to the N. Y. Journal
of CoMmerce says:
If a graves:one can possibly furnish the
nase of a joke, its mirth, giving capacity has
seen severely tested here within the past few
Inns A. prominent lawyer here was standing
it the front or your Washington olllee to day,
when a gentleman from Boston passed and
nodded to your corraspondent. l'he lawyer,
answer to a qsestlon, was told that the
strangt'r was from Boston, interested in grave
stones. Another man passed, 1107 a question
resulted in Information to the la wyer that the
new stranger hail al frail' New - York and was
tlso interested in those articles.
The lawyer who had recently buried . one
a
very dear to hint and had a particular ver
don to the subject then told me that he had
not seen a stranger here for a we! k who was
not interested in gravestones. "An hour ago,"
said he, "for the hundredth time within two
lays that the subject has been mentioned to
a man cattle in and laid two hundred dol
lar bills on toy desk, and said he wanted me
to help him get a contract from the govern
!neut to turu.sh gravestones. I told him to
take his money; that. I knew nothing of his
case, and would not study it for twenty times
two hundred dollars as a retainer."
Last Saturday about three hundred people
assembled at the guartermaster.General's
'dice, to hear the reading of bids for furnish
ing 300,000 grave-stones fur saldiers' graves
at the differed national cemeteries through
out the country. The secretary of War coin
meneed at 12 o'clock, noon, the reading of the
two hundred bids for the c mtract. Ile read
over the dry details for about Indian hour,and
then, reaching a bid that covered fourteen
foolscap pages, he resigned his post to the
Quartermaster-General, who read on, with
'nly an hour's n,intermicabOtill nearly twelve
o'clock that night. The ada tilled a large
clothes basket.
A. dignified person from Massachusetts canto
down here, attended with his wile, and the
couple sat there three hours listening to the
reading. He had deliberately conic here for
the purpose of getting that contract, and ex.
pected to take the papers back with him. ills
sample was a yellow fire brick, set in a red
brick, with room for three letters on the for
mer. The whole would probably weigh ten
pounds, and tile man probably intended to
4tart from Massachusetts with a few two-horse
wagons and distribute them around at the dif
terent cemeteries.
Many of the specimens accompanying the
bids are beautiful, and the whole display—
about two hundred and fifty samples—lorm
an interesting study. They are ol• all materials
—white and black miuble, polished and plain
sandstoneiof various colors, white and red
clay, vitrified and unvitritied, procelain, Be
ton Coignet, and all sorts of composite stone;
painted iron, malleable iron, compositions of
tin and spelter, copper and speller, such as
brass and bronze—and even wood is offered.
One specimen is a net of zinc and tin •compo•
shim' wire, set on two legs 01 the same corn
position. On this arc the words "Uknown
soldier," instead ol the words "Unknown Sod
Biers." The invention looks very much like
a pop-corn skillet. There is one stone from
Philadelphia in which the letters are cut by a
patent "sand-blast" system, in seven minutes.
rile process must be a wonderful tiling. Au
, 'thee Interesting process is the cutting of let
iers by machinery, in marble or other stone.
A. Boston man has a method by which he sets
a bronze medallion in a composite in such a
manner that It seems to become part of the
stone. rile medallion contains the inscription
and a set 01 arms emblematic of the branch of
service in winch the soldier was, engaged.
rile medallion is lettered by pressure. Some
or the stones are tapered from the point where
they rest in the ground to the lower cud. The
idea is intended to save expense lu transpor
tation, and is patented.
It is very evident from the inscriptions on
these gravestones that Mr. John Smith has de
parted this life. No less than one hundred
and fifty of them are sacred to his memory.
But it is singular with what holiness each
would-be contractor persists in inscribing on
Mr. Smith's tombstone that he died in differ.
eat places. Some say he died at Chattanooga,
others Cincinnati, and so on. Mr. Smith in
the first place is certainly dead ; secondly, lie
did not die at any particular place.

and the following Directors of the Berke
County Railroad : George Lerch ' extensive
dealer in hardware, Henry S. Eckert, and J.
V. Craig. iron manufacturers, of Reading, left
this city in carriages on Tuesday morning, at
8i o'cinelc. for the purpose of pissing over
and inspecting the entire route of the Berke
County Railroad, preparatory to placing un
der contract the balance °film road. Accom
panying the 'arty was a representative of the
Daily Eagle. They returned by rail to this
city on t\ ednesday night. The trip was a
very pleasant one, and all the participants
seemed to have enjoyed themselves greatly.
The :fist day the party journeyed to Len
hartsville, Berke county, 20 miles from Read
ing, which is as far as the building of the road
has yet been placed under contract. All the
contractors are making satisfactory progress.
Although the work was commenced only GO
days ago, the grading of this portion of the
road is already half finished. The first grad
ing noticed was on North River street, this
side of the Lebanon Valley Railroad Bridge
over the Schuylkill, and during the whole
day's journey evidences of work on the road
were constantly observable. After reaching
the Maidencreek the route lay along the bank
of that stream, and the easy grading of the
road was noticeable.
The party halted at Bushongs' Moselem
furnace, and partook of an excellent dinner at
the hotel of Mr. Jacob Boyer, after which they
drove to the summit of the hill and took a
birds-eve view of the famous Moselem iron
ore banks and the valley to the east. 40,000
tons of the richest ore are now taken out of
the !nines a year, and it is expected that by
tie time the new road is completed the mines
will be worked so as to secure 50,1200 tons. It
is the intention of the 'Jerks County Railroad
Company to build a narrow gauge railroad
from the furnace to the mines, a distance of
2j miles. For every 5000 tons of iron made
at tile Moselem furnace there will be 30,000
tons of transportation for the Berks County
Railroad. The coal consumed at the furnace
is at present limited in wagons from Shocma•
kersville, on the line 01 the Philadelphia and
Reading Railroad, a distance of 5 miles.
The party reached Lenhartsville at dusk.
Arriving at the charcoal furnace of Mr. George
Merkel, located at the edge of the village, they
were warmly welcomed by that gentleman,
who invited them ieto his mansion. His
hospitality was as excellent, as It was gene
rous. Mr. Merkel is warmly in favor of the
construction of the railroad; although it will
run through his laud a distance of about a
mile and u half, abd passes within a few feet
of his barn. He has taken a deep Interest in
the project front the very start, and the engi
neers and contractor of that section speak
highly of him. They are indebted to him for
information given and kindness shown. Mr
-Merkel stated to the party that he would
change his charcoal titmice: into an anthracite
furnace immediately alter tile completion of
the road. This furnace alone will give to the
new line a traffic of at least 30,000 tone a year.
The ore is located eight miles away on the line
of the railroad, slid is at present hauled that
distance in wagons. Lenhartsvilfe is a very
pleasant village of some 30 houses substan
tially built of stone and brick. It contains
several stores and hotels, and a number of
traders are represented. Mr. Isaac Dietrich,
Mr. Seth Ziegler and other influential citizens
with whom the party conversed on the rail
road question, appeared to be impressed
with the fact that the Becks County Rail
road will prove a complete success. Sev
eral miles this side of Lenhartsville there
is a very valuable stone quarry, which
the party examined. It 11118 been but
feebly operated, and is at present entirely idle,
on account of their pot being any facilities for
transportation. A. large quantity of quarried
stone is lying there, and some of the blocks
are of vast size and great beauty—massive and
pretty enough to be taken to the sea-board
towns. Ihe stones are bluish-grey in color
and appear to possess the qualities of both slate
and limestone. It will be au easy matter to
procure at tuis quarry stones several teet thick
and 20 or 30 feet long. The owner declared
ins inteuthin tok fully developing and working
the quarry us soon as the road should be com
pleted. We will add here that the success of
tuffs live railroad company is assured,and lay
ing of rails on the portion now being graded
—the drat 20 miles—will be commenced early
in the spring. The locatton of the balance of
the road-22 nilles—i3 finished, and will also
be placed under contract as soon as the entire
roadway has been arranged, and it is safe to
say that its progress to completion will also be
repaid. The owners of the property along
the route are pleased that the road is beiug
built and very few will claim any damages.
they appear to be aware that the road will
develop the country and iucrease the value
of their lands.
At an early hour on Wednesday morning
the party started on the Journey over the bal
ance of the rout. The locution for the rood
was pointed out from time to time by the chief,
engineer and his efficient assistant, comments
were made upon the fertility of the soli and
pleasant conversation filled up the intervals.
Flee fields everywhere presented the aspect of
great fruitfulness, and showed the farming to
mi 01 a careful description. At some places
the valley was narrow and at others the acres
of excellent arable land spread out broad and
wide. There are do finer farms In the State
than some which line the route of the Berks
County Railroad. Many of the hillsides are
covered with noble timber, of which chestnut
and oak are the most plentiful, and beautiful
.creams insure the values against the drituth
of summer. Broad acres, commodious and
comffirtable houses and large Swiss barns tirc
nee prevailing features of every farm, and un
bounded prosperity the unmistakable charac•
ter of all. Now and then the wagon road led
through a sylvan solitude, a stretch of
woods thick with luxuriant leaves that threw
ehecquered shadows on the ground. The
scenery is of the most attractive description,
nod especially ut this season of the year,when
tue foliage Is yet partly verdant, but In many
place colored bythe autumnal influence
with almost every hue of the rainbow, vary
lig Trom the deepest crimson to the most
tirilliant orange and chrome yellow • "leagues
.way on the horizon a misty line where earth
and sky meet, and nigh at hand the landscape
&fueled witu the gorgeous sunlight and rich
with all the Incidents of light and shadow."
Toe party reached Steinsville at 10 a. m.,a
pleasant. village in Lehigh county, 7 mies
trom Lenhartsville and a few miles this side
of the Blue Mountains, where they were wel
comed and entertained by 'Squire Brobst, a
eaffing citizens of the place. Along the fer
tile valley on this side on the mountain the
slate quarries are located, some of which aro
only partially developed and others entirely
die, owing to the present great cost of trans.
portation, there being no railroad runntior
through that neighborhood. The first agate
works and quarry visited by the ex , ursioniats
were those of Dr. H. F. Mart", located at
byunport, on the line or am new railroad
route. Thi s i s an oil end very valuable quar
ry, an d i t is s aid, the only one In the United
limes at W illett slate for large black-boards
can be o btained at any time. No roofing slate
.a s lapped from this point ow lug to the pres
ent cost of transportation. Thu doctor is au (-
timely awaiting the completion of the new
road, and says that he will then send large
quantities of roofing slate to market, in addi
tion to the slate manufactured into other arti
cles. He has in his nianufa3ory several saws,
large planers and polishers, and makes a large
variety of articles. To give our readers an
Idea of the articles manufactured at these
works, we will enumerate same of them :
ffiate mantles, wainscoting, church pulpits,
safe covers, pier slabs, register frames, counter

to cart his slate to Slatington, a distance of 13
miles, at an annual cost of $6,000 to $7,000
for the present production. Ilk shipments .
amount to sonic $40,000 a year, and they will
increase very considerably after the comple..

I The party pursued the journey through a
rich agricultural district, beautiful and nog.
nlficent scenery, passing hero and there em.
bewared mansions, crossed Jordan creek and
its fertile valley at a right angle (where the
farmers and their thrifty "women-folks" were
observed husking the golden corn lathe fields)
and followed Weir's creek in a northdaisterly
direction to Slatington, the terminus of the
route, where the party arrived at 3 p. in., in
good condition and as full of life as at the
start, and partook of a hearty dinner at the
hotel of Mr. B. F. Peter. A number of the
leading citizens of the town caked at the ho
tel, and several hours were spent with them in
conversation respecting the new euterprise.
All seemed convinced of the purled feasibility
and importance of the project. The roue
lying through - a populous and fertile country,
rich in agricultural and mineral resaurcesoind
abounding in flouring mills, tanneries, &e., It
was the general opinion that local traffic and
travel sufficient to make the working of the
road profitable wind(' ho at once obtained.
Besides, as the read will connect at tslittine, ton
with the Lehigh Valley Railroad and perhaps
also with the Lehigh and Susquebanna,it w
form a short, direct and easy railroad connec
tion between the large pine forests and lei x.
haustible coal fields of the Lehigh and Wyo.
ming Values and the Wilmington 4::; It, sill g.
Railroad, which will be the means of a
and important trade.
Although the whole aspect of the valii-s
bespeaks plenty, comfort, good farming
generally prosperous toil, yet alter the coin.
pletion of the railroad the lands will be brought
to a still higher state of cultivation, because
the farmers will have a good maidtet within
easy reach for their cereals and other produce.
New villages and towns will spring up along
the line, the old ones - will increase rapidly in
population, and additional dories mei
mining operations, as well us new dalustrh
will make their appearance at various point -,
and each year there will be an Increase In the
extent and value of the tonnage wink of the
road. The enterprise, considered as a whole,
is a most admirable one, and cannot bet prove
very profitable to the projectors of the road
and the stockholders.
The cost for the construction of the Barks
County Railroad will be comparatively light'
—less than the average of roads. There are
atretchee of eight or ten miles where but little
grading will be required. There will be few
cuttings of any consequence; and few bridges
will be required, and the material for flu s-•
can be obtained near by where they are to he
erected. Almost before we shall be able to
realize the tact, the Barks County Railroad
will be ready to tdke its place among the com
pleted lines of transportation and travel which
bring the interior districts into direct commu
nication with the chief marts of trade. It
may, perhaps,
not be unimportant to state
that the soul of the undertaking is Henry Bu
thong, Esq., in whose hands any enterprise
has a safety which It can obtain trom few
other gentlemen.
ellatington Is a town of over' 000 inhabi
tants, and has some handsome buildings. It
is supplied with hydrant water. It lots no tire
department, but there are several patent tire
extinguishers in the place. Slate was first
discovered there iu 18-10, and the first house
was built in 1850. Last year 10,000 tons of
shite were quarried in that vicinity, and 76,
000 squares of roofing slate were eh 'lived by
railroad and canal, and a large number of
squares were hauled away in wagons. It is
expected that considerably more slate will be
taken out of the quarries next year.
The party left Slatington at 4 p. tn., and
drove to Allentown, where they entered the
care on the East Penns. RallrOad, at 0.4
o'clock, and reached Reading at 11 o'clock,
all expressing themselves greatly delighted
with the trip and nearly as fresh as when they
started.—Reading (Pa.,) Daily Eagle, Oct.

ENGLAND IN SORE PERIL
Signs of no oppronelJug Revolution
The elgns of a crisis In Englund, says the
Inter-Ocean, have multiplied of late so rapidly
that the course which events rimy take then•
next year will be watched by Am-rteans with
unusual interest. It is not alone that the in
dustrial labor troubles still continue without
abatement, but that the agricultural movement
which is really a revolution, assmnes daily
wider dimensions. The dull peasant, the last
bulwark of landed privilege and power,

into a compact body. This lEl[m:um to tai
already complicated British polities tine more
element, and that the most dangerous of any.
There is not hull the menace iu the attitude
of the Journeymen bakers of Londomtle: iron

Wales and Newcastle, as in that of a rural
proletariat suddenly becoming sensible tit it,

The prospects for a great struggle hetwcen
the aristocratic and meueyed classes on the

be increasing, especially as there are other in

Banal wealth and the commercial and intim:
trial prosperity of the country, only a cry

can look forward to the approaching winter

grlllags.
By a singular combination of unfavoialile
circumstances the cost of living threatens to hr.
come unprecedentedly high. 'rite potato crop
may be considered a total failurcomd the bitlit
of the population In England and Inland will
thus be without the vegetable which consti

beef and mutton has already reached a figure

But the most serious misfortune is the [nerves
