His course had been such through the protracted and trying ordeal from which the country is now emer• ---ging as to win-the confidence and affection of good citizens everywhere. His honesty of purpose, the persevering and' unswerving —fidelity with which he devoted his great mind and energies in behalf of his imperiled coml. try convinced the masses that his hand was guided by Omnipotent power, and the peo. ple with one accord, in the darkest hours of our civil strife, looked up to him, confident that he would guide aright and that victor Id ultimately crown the national areas, ) nor were they mistaken, for,.in the Provi4 • BRAKA3.I 4:N031N was per mitted before being called hence, to see the fritit" of his labors through four years of bur dens .and trials unexampled in - the history of of the country—the Rebellion broken of its victory, and the chief of the conspirators flee ing before the wrath of an injured, indignant people. No wonder that our land mourns the sad end of its good President, and well may the people show their appreciation of lois great wisdcm and Matchless virtues, by consigning with such special, but becoming *honors, his remains to their last resting place.

About the time the Rebel ion broke out a subscription of between sixty and seventy thousand dollars in stook had been secured among our citizens for the extension of the tiettysburg Railroad to this place, which could have beefi increased to at least one hun dred thousand dollars and the extension of the road secured but for the war, whieknow 'promises to be over in a short time. Noth ing has since been done iu reference to its extension, nor do we know whether there are any prospects just now for a road from that direction. But efforts are being made to extend the Western Maryland Road to to Hagerstown, with prospects of success which amount to almost a certainty, and if our farmers and hminess-,. men would avail themselves of 'tq lir fits r . 7s`ni:ae tion should be promptly taken, to the present routes surveyed Waynesboro' cannot be made a point on the road, but we understand the Mayor of Baltimore is 'Ana. ious that we should have a route surveyed from the summit of the mountain via. this place to Hagerstown, and if it can bo shown to-be-a-more-echouomical-one-th ready selected the probability is that it will be adopted. Those interested should at once decide whether or not they will risk the ex. — pease of such a survey: It might be the means of securing us the road and for this reason we favor an early survey.

Lifetimes were given to its prepay ration and. their money, their existence, their a't, were devoted,. to its inauguration and prosecution, and yet, under the guidance of wise and brave men, booked by a loyal and heroic people, the monster is crushed in four years beyond the hope of resuscitation,— And with it falls that other great curse, the prolific mother of strife and treason,• and the cause of the rebellion—Slavery; The end of the war is the ond.of slavery on this conti nent. No more shall the free hearts of the north be made to suffer for the crimes of the slave propagandists of the south. The sin of the nation has been wiped out, and when the rubbish of the war shall have been clear ed away, when northern enterprise ;hall re build, repopulate and reinvigorate the south, and freedom of thought and expression, and free institutions shall be carried from the coast of Maine to the rice fields of Florida, then we will be a homogeneous people, bey Bering in one God, one flag, one government and *one destiny. • The end of rebellion and - its parent sla very is at hand, and ' already the glorious light of the new era illumines the horizon from east to west and from the far north to the extreme south. TEE LAST MM.—The "chivalry" of the 'South have at length found the "last ditch," but manifest far less disposition to die therein than what was anticipated. It was proclaimed that rather than yield the "last man" would die in the "last ditch."— Of this some of our copperhead Mends boast ed not a little a couple of years since. Doubt less they little thought that their dear, "southern brethren" would so disappoint their expectations by laying down their arms and refusing, as they had promised, to die in in the "last ditch " but such is_cto them -plan mortifying fact. The secesh women, too, af ter the "last man" had died in the "last ditch," it was said, would fight the abolition ists with broomsticks until the last one ex pired. But it seems they are e. nail • anx. •us save t tem "bacon" and consequent ly •refuse to die too. We confess that this refusal of the chivalry to comply with their promise must be humiliating to 41 big foot" and other copperheads who proscribed us for our Union sentiments. WSPAPER OFFICE DESTROYED. —On the reception of the news of President LINCOLN'S assassination a t Westminster, Md., the greatest excitement ensued. The Selland says a portion of the community were exasperated beyond the influence of counsel at an article which' appeared in the Western Maryland Democrt, (copperhead) of the 6th inst: and at a late hour in the night the office was entered, the type, cases, stands, paper, &c. carried into the street and burn ed, while the press and other, material was irreparably damaged. We quote tho article referred to entire: "Some people hope that,Lincolo's life will be spared now, in order that the country may be saved the disgrace of an 'incoherent' Vice President. But is there not a slight chance of improvement in case that Providence ;should will it otherwise? Lincoln, itis true, is reported to be It sober man, but it is none the less true, that if he is always sober he is always wrong. So Johnson sober is John- Non wrong; but Johnson drunk might, per kThance, be Johnson right. As a proof of 'this, in his "incoherent" speech in the Sen ate he,talked about the "Constitution." He certainly never would have thought of talk ing.of that document if he had been ate' Thereri - s - nom - t -- ) • as not a word about it in Lincoln's In- augural; Not a word; It is evident, there.' fore, that a drunken Abolitionist is more likely to be right than a sober one." WASHINGTON, April 25-9 - A. M.—J0..1 soph Shaw, editor of the Westminster - (Car-1 roll county) Democrat, whose paper was mob. bed and material destroyed the night after, 'the murder of the President, on account of the disloyal sentiments expressed by the ed. itor, and — aihvasli so warped away by the people, returned yesterday to Westminster.

Upon this the enraged citizens killed Shaw on the spot.

[Fos, TUN VITAA011" RECORD, RAILROADS, Although the history of Railroads in this :country falls, to point to a single instance where property on the line hats not inareased in value by its operation, yet it is in those cases where one terminus of the Railroad is at a large city that 'residents along the rate experienie the greatestwmountuf beaefm.— Exceptions aro found, and in asses where the, region of country proves unhealthy or unatraotive, but where salubrity - of clitnitte is united to beauty of scenery, tite value of land upon a line, of Railroad 'terminating at elarge city reaches and maintains a value Unexampled and almost incredible ip a farm ing 'community, Any number of instances of this fang is afforded by the operation of the Western Md,,Railroad 7 Hanover Branch Railroad and others in Cheater and Delaware coiinties. I could enumerate repeated sales of large estates upon theSe lines, that warrant the assertion that land has and sloes increase within twb years, full one hundred per cent. in value, and that in particular localities a much greater increase than even this has been expertenced. It has been a matter of surprise to me, that the wealthy inhabitants of Franklin and Washington counties, should have remained so great a length of time contented with the primitive - order-of-things, and wagoned their valtiable_ products to a distant mar ket, at great expense, when by a comparative small outs lay of capital they could have obtained the facilities and conveniences, the cheapness,. certainty, and rapidity of railway conveyance. When a branch road, connecting with tli Northern Central Railway, was censtructed to Hanover, York county, and the profitable working of that road, put it beyond question that the enterprise, simply as a speculatiop i end apart from the increase m the value or the lands within six miles on-either - side of its line of route, or ten miles from its termi nus, would pay a good interest upon the in vestment,-it became a great cause for wonderi that the spirit which was building up Han over, and adding to the agricultural wealth of that portion Of York county, was not shar ed in by the people of Gettysburg, and now, that Gettysburg bee a road, nothing more ev er astonished me, why the citizens of Waynes- Iwo', and the thrifty farmers by which that substantiaktrutorderly inland - town - an - diteigh boyhood is surrounded, did not extend the road from Gettysburg to that place, when it was within their grasp. I say do it yet, or make arrangements with the Western Mary land Railroad to ha • • y_es4of-that, road. Let us have one or the other, as ei ther can be, done. I lay it down as an axiom, that good looal railways, penetrating a region so productive as that of Franklin county, and Washington.' too, will always pay, and pay well. They: are indeed lucrative in many ways They enhance the•value of' town property, they add largely to the value of-landed property, and they pay, besides, a good dividend on their . coat of construction. A. railway is also 4 meniately beneficial in other respects: It o, pens the mineral wealth of the region through' which it passes, and places it within reach of the consumer, not only with great ease and praVITIAMTWIIM:rTaiI3 riVACTI 129 would be incurred by the.old mode of trans, portation. It enables the farmer to select] that period of the year for sending his pro-1 duets ton market when the price of those products is at its highest point, and dispen- 1 sea with the necessity-of-taking—his-teama. from the field when the labors of the season are most pressing. it gives hinva choice of markets, offers him the opportunity of ma 'king his sales quickly, and in person, and renders valuable,those products of the dairy and the orchard, which are usually sold, un der other circumstances, at rates far below what. they would bring in a populous city. A railway encouraging travel and trafic, l rings -mind-into - con taut w thtrtir drowsy neighborhoods' from their lethargy, establishes new relations between distant communities, and promotes that intellectual and commercial progression which is the lead ing characteristic of the age. It is for these reasons that I am gratified to learn that Waynesboro' is desirous, yea determined, I hope, to have a railway con- nection with some road. Let us not give up this time until something has been seem, plished for our good. PROGIOAS. itet'When Abraham Lincoln left Spring,. field, 111., on the 18th of February, 1861, he said no orie who had not been in a like posit tion could understand his feelings at that mo ment, "nor the oppressive sadness" which he felt at that parting. He concluded by say ing: "Let us all pray that the God of our faith. ors may not forsake us now. To Him I corm, mend you all; permit me to ask that, with equal sincerity and faith, you will invoke his wisdom and guidance for me. With 'these ' few words I must leave you—for how.long know nor, Friends, one and all, I must now , bid you an affeetionaie farewell." The Springfield' Journal says he spoke "solemnly and impressively, and with , pro found emotion, and that every heart was sad and every eye moist as he concluded his re marks." I=l • TO.
