The "SOfts" are led by John Van Buren,
who has wheeled into the support of the

Nebraska nwintle, while declaring against
Slavery aggressions. The "Herds" have
virtually, disbanded, going either into the
ranks of the Americans or into those mar.

has declared itself against Prohibition, and

its opinion that n majority of the ineiuGers

the repeal of the "Jug Law." The law
was adapted in the Senate by a vote of IS
to 14-4 Senators abseitt; of the absentees

to 15. It is claim:id that in all the districts

where new elacticinz.:have . heap-held this
fall, the Law La's foaiiinly Imo vote, and
that is in Allegheny county. Mr. Dario of t
that county voted for it, while his succes
sor, Judge Wilkins, will vote for its repeal:
This change would make in a full Senate, ,

case each SeiMtor votes us ho did on its
passage. But Mr. Goodwin. of Philadel

And then, again, some of its opponents
may refuse to vote tot: its repeal so soon
after its enactment. • The truth is that the
"Jug Law" proved an admiiable election-I
ering hobby in the last canvass and helped
materially to swell the ' veto of the Foreign
party. The wide-atiake leaders of that
party may wish to keep the matter in abey
ance for next fall, when the Presidential
struggle is to come off. Its fate this win

On Saturday evening laat,while a Det

burg, at which a delegation floin this plate
was present, EDWARD HALL, Soo of Dr.
Sourer, E. HAIL. of tills vicinity, was
stabbed 'in the abdomen by Gloms W.
MYRRS, a yntlng lad from this place, with
a large sheath dirk knife, and so severely
injured that his life is despaired off. Al
though the parties are of opposite politics,
HALT..being a member of the Atneriean or
ganisation, it is sai4 that polities ban •no
thing to do with the matter.. Indeed, we
have hoard of no provocation or motive
for the act, further than • that MYERS was
under the influence of liquor, and had
been previously recklessly brandishing his
knife in the crowd, and had slightly wenn
ded another person.- -MYERS and HALL
met on rho street a little distance from the
place where the meeting was being held,
and upon some playful remark being made
by the latter in regard to the meeting, the
former suddenly plunged his knife' into
I the abdomen of HALL. Both parties are
quite young—HALL, being hetween 21 and
22 years of age, and biretta still in
corky, BALL has always borne quiet,
peaceable character, and both arerespecta
bly connected. This painful event is sug
gestive of a fearful warning to sueb - of our
youth as are in the habit of carrying dead
ly weapons about their persons, or of in
dulging in intoxicating liquors. At last
accounts, HALL was lying very ill, with
little or no hopes of his recovery. Mirras
has been committed to the Frederick coun

RAILROAD 51E ETINGS.—The friends
of the Railroad project will be pleased to
notice that the Board of Managers are mo
ving actively in the matter, and adopting
energetic measures to push the enterprise,
so long delayed, to a speedy completion.—
They have succeeded in interesting several
contractors of ascertained responsibility,
who have not only made reasonable bids
for the grading and bridging of the road,
but are disposed to give their aid in bring
ing the subject properly before our people.
Calls will be found in to-day's paper fns
Railroad Meetings in Hunterstown, Ox

We understand that meetiogs will
also be called in other parts of the county
at an early dale.
We are gratified to note this evidence
of commendable energy on the part of the
Board. We feel more than ever persua

the efforts now being made be promptly
seconded by our citizens generally, and
the thing must go.
In this connection, we invite.attention

A GOOD IDEA.—The marked im
provement in our streets and pavements,
within the last few yams. has °cautioned
general' remark upon the part of visitors.
Notwithstanding the retired location of
Gettysburg, and the absence of active
business enterprise, few towns are more
attractive to 'strangers, and from few do
visitors go away better pleased. The
provements in oar streets and pavements.
'pow in progress, will contrihnte materially
to beautiff lbe town and render it still
more attractive. In this connection, we
may optics what we regard a good idea
connected with she improvement of Cen
tro Square. Mr. M'CLetzatv.er tbeFroolt
lin House, has within a few days put out
a row of shade trees upon the edge of the
broad pavement in front of his house.—
We hope to see the example improved by
the property holders all around the square.
Now is the proper time for planting. and
we'hope those immediately interested will
not permit it to pan by without attending
to the matter. In enhancing very mats.
rially the value of their own proportius„the
owners will confer a favor upon the com
munity at large which will be appreciated
and commended by all. A uniform row
of abed° trees °nen cling the entire Diamond

have also heard the propriety of creating
lamp-posts at convenient points suggested.

To you. Farmers. are the great advantages of
a Railroad tone:error- FVOM you. then, must
the required aid come. Soch aid must yet be
furnished by the /subscription of more stock
before the road can be pit under contract.
Some Fainites have done their duly nobly
but Many; Who - are deeply interested, have
suhveritied nothing. This is apparently the' .
hut effort: and it now remains with you to say
whetherrAdainsramoty shall have a Railroad.
and *or lands be increased in value 10. 15 or
21, dollars per acre- or whether this final strug
gle shall be allowed to result in the inglorious /
failures which have heretofore characterized
our einem.
The' Board of Directors have, after much re
flection "and conmiltation with adepts in the ;
basilica ok making railroads, concluded that
the only feasible plan. under present circum
stances, (and its feasibility depends upon a
contingency explained in what follows.)
is to grade and bridge the road. and prepare ,
it for the superstructure, and then issue and I
sell Bonds to raise money tocomplete it. They
have thiessiiiance that if the toad is Graded
and RHdged, the Beads' wiU sell for SB5 per;
SlOO cash. and many of them can be disposed '
of at their toll value in the contract for the iron.
The Beard have two propositions 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 8115,000.
$20.000 of which the contractors propose to
take in stock of the company, and the balance,
595.000. to be paid in money. The other, for
the route tin Oxford. which is one mile and
seven-eights longer. but over a more even and ,
gently undulating surface. for $105,000. 85:1.-
1100 of which the contractors propose to take
in stock. and the balance. $85.000. 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 iron required on
the Oxford route for the difference in the dis
tanees of t h e two routes- The road would lie
more direct. but have more grades on it. the
country being inzerspneed with numerous
hills and valleys. The road would never be
so substantial and economical as one over a
more level counter. berceuee there would be
deep cuts and high emliinkments. which are
always 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 mad will not be increased
—it anything. lessened—the ,m•ades and curves
would not be so numerous. the repairs of the
road herealler will not be so great. the road I
itself Brill accommodate a larger portion of the
country. and the pertioaof stock-subscribed
conditionally will be obtained for that route
which would not Ire subscribed to the direct
route. }Waco the road will- be on a direct
route to York should it ever be found practi
cable to make a rood from York to Gettysburg.
It the direct route were adopted and the road
complete/I. and a road should be made from
York to Gettysburg. the Hanover road would
be entirely tivelis—loit.. For these any other
reasons the Board have concluded that the Ox
ford route is. under present circumstances, the
only practicable route.
But there is a contin,gency —there must be.
at least, 315.000 more of stock subscribed in"
the county before- the contract for grading and
!triaging can be absolutely chord and releases
et the right away must be obtained. In or
der to ascertain who will release the right of
way. the proposed contractors will endeavor to
locate the nod so as to enable the Canners over
whose lands it may pats to judge of the ad
vantages or disadvantages of such location,
and thus to regulate their actions in releasing
anti rrite.crilting stock. When a reasonable
number tof those who live along the line of the
told 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 slea4. And when this is
.done the Board a to and have an assu
rance-of the means a speedy completion of
the road. An that is wanting now is a cots'.
inemecinent in the work. This can and will
waile.as soon as a sufficient amount of stock
is MU 6cribed to make up the small deficit.,
An opportunity will now be given by the
Bounl. through agents, to every one in the
county to aid in this project: and it is confi
dently Leaped that no property holder in thel
county, who has' his own pecuniary interests
and the good of the public at heart, will de
cline taking stuck in proportion to his inearml
The money will not be lost.: the investment
will be a good one to property holders. Sev
eral who have subscribed liberally propose to
double their subticriptions rattier than see the
project fail. , Row. then. can others, who have
subscribed nothing, or but a trifle, rest easy,
and see a public enterprise like thisfail Cir the
want of a few thousand dollaro. 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 7 tatigedpf project of a Railroad to Ad.
anui .coginy. • Look to your interests, Farm
ers. andfdo not let this last effort, this moat
acceptable: piteposi" lion. malt in a failure and
Le rejected. for the want of a little •••insiterial
aid' from you which must in the end reward
you atnply. Provos' is the sentiment of the
day, and it beitouits you all to sacrifice mach

altar of the general good. And by so doing,
Adams county can again herald forth that sen

things, and the giver of "every good and per

of our constant dependence upon the provi.
donee of Him "who rules the army of Heaven
and among the children of mem," is alike the
duty and the privilege of a free and Christian

"Ho has crowned the past year with his
goodness and caused our paths to drop with
fatness." Ho has blessed our 'countrl with
peace. The union of the. States, our tree in

right of conscience and freedom of worship,
have been continued and preserved. The
great interests of Education, Morality and
Religion have been encouraged and promoted:
Science and Art advanced, industry rewarded,
and the moral and physical condition of the
people improved.
The goodness of God has signally blessed
our Commonwealth : War with Its desolations,
Famine and Pestilence with their horrors,
'have not been permitted to come near us ,• and
whilst the ravages of disease and death' have
afflicted the citizens of other States, we hare
enjoyed the blessings of health and unusual
'prosperity. • 'The Seasons, in their annual .

Acknowledging with grateful hearts these
manifold blessings of a beneficent Providence,
