RAILROAD' PROJECTS'.—The CottlitiSSlonz

Should this road bre — made, of which there
seems to bo but little doubt, the extension
Of the Western Maryland road to !lagers-
town would be impracticable and out of the
question. In feet we have good authority
for stating that its extension west of the
mountain has already been abandoned. ' Our
ptospects therefore of railroad tommtnieation
in that direction are any.thiug but inviting
just now; but the ehanees for the Gettys
bury Extension are thereby, we think, ma
terially enhanced. After all, this is the on

tonsumated we feel confident. The war hav

ti r lti STATIAT DOTA NOT PAT.—Major
General li t iussos in the tome of a Zeceut
spte - cli in Keetticity, while canvassing the
Louisville Dietrictfor Congress, uttered the
following memorable, words. They aro the
Mote memoroble because' they come from
an officer in the army, and' it not often offt
cers are moved against the immorality and
cruelty of African . slavery:
• "I want to tell you why slavery will not
pay. It is because , we ,have a God in Heav
en, rrlio' his arranged the affairs of men, itr

population of the rebel states ; and tell me if
slavery was a paying institution to them?—
And do you think: it can be restored , now ;
and trot tend to a bloodier andliercer war?—
And why is this?—simply because God, in
his wisdom, has arranged the world so that
in the long run a system , of wrong will not
and cannot pay."
THRINOREADE OP ORO/Xi—Solomoff itrth
er condemns those who say that "the form-
not always acquiesce in thePopinion so often
uttered, that the world is getting worse, for
we think, upon the whole, that it is not.—
But it must be admitted that the commis. -
sion of crimes of strange and• appalling atrde
ity have of late become alarmingly frequent.
Rowdyism, and the prompt and fatal use of
deadly weapon; may be . traced to bed whir-
key; but the lust of gain seems to be the
besetting sin of most ,of those who have re
cently stained their bands in the blood of
their fellows. This moral malady seems at
times to.be epidemic;. yet it must necessarily,
like other epidemics; have its es-Citing cads:

ulation may be that exciting eause is worthy
of consideration.

rtr Athid the distettragem eats• that attend
the progress of zeorganization in the South,
one cheering
act is constant y percepts
Talented- and eloquent men, and well-con
ducted journals in every quarter sre con
stantly advocating free labor, and demonstra
ting, that it will be found more profitable, as
well as infinitely wore just and agreeable than
the old system ; This fact, insignificant as it
way appear, is a great gain on the old order
of things. The people are not only foreed
bynecessity 16 dispense with slavery,. but
their reason is constantly being addressed by
men- in whom they have more or less °tat
dence*with arguments and appeals in favor
of the advantages of the new system. Sure
ly; on such a theme, earnest discussion and
experience should_eventually secure a men
tal and moral, as well as a physical triumph
for the right, and satisfy even the most pre
judieed and stubborn of the old slaveholders,
that emancipation, rightly regarded and imp
proved, may become a boon to the master
and the poor white man, as well as' to the
slave.
Or The Universe, the leading Roman
Catholic organ of Pennsylvania,. published
in Philadelphia, says of the trial of the its:-
eassins of President Lincoln:.
"If we have read' the trial with correct
judgmenti - the 1 du . g ing-atttl • S
deserved; audit we du not mistake the pub
lic feeling, theria is a universal approval of the
way in which thing's have been brought to a
c .se. The evidence of the President's
murder is not clearer than that the con
demned were real conspirators and abettors
in it, and the nation is too just not to ratify
the sentence pronounced upon thew, ho
muchlor an unjustifiable treason, and. for
a foul deed of blood done in its interestl—
We regret that there was a woman iu the
tragedy, and that that woman was a Cad'.
olio But when women conspire and abet
treason and murder, and silence the teach
ings of the Church in their own 'hearts
nothing can be said in their defence."
WASHINGTON, Augnst 14.—The trial of
.Captain Wertz, the rebel commander of the
Andersonville prison, will commence to.mor
row, before th e Military Commission, of
which, General Underwood is President and
Colonel Chapman is Judge Advocate. About
one hundred witnesses have already been
subpoenaed,' and as many individual cases of
cruelty are expected to ')e proven against; the
accused by them. They will testify . from
personal experience.
A despatch from the Associated Press cor
respondent says that there is good reason to
believe that a part of the Cabinet are unwill
ing to try Jeff Davie for treason, but that
President Johnson is persistent in baring
him tried before a civil tribunal. Justice
Chase will arrive in Washington in a day or
two, and he will be consulted. The advice
of the prominent lawyers of the country has
also been requested. The despatch says that
the President has determined that the arch
traitor shall be tried before a civil unlit, and
also hat Mr. Johnson contemplates withdraw.
ing the orders suspending the writ of habeas.
corpus. He also intends soon to dispense with
military courts.

fashionable gossip—that is, they like to know
what new fashions are being introduced.—
, What 'ROMEO does not? Women are queer
beings anyhow, alike defiant of analysis and
delmitiou, They are constantly changing.
For instance the woman of to-day, so far as
exterior goes ; is a complete revolution upon
the woman of last year, so marvellousre the
transformations effected in her apprearanee
through the medium of fashion. Why do
women follow the outrageous fashions now
in vogue? But to the point. A fashion ed•
itor says:—lt way interestiady readers to be
told that among, the host of bonnets invented
by the inexhaustible ingenuity .of the Pari
sian modistes the chapeaux empire ; for cer
emonial purposes ; are the adopted favorites.
They are simply ornamented with a swallow,
a eolibi, or a bird's wing placed upon corn
or upon a little verdure; as for gold and steel
- ornaments rind spangles, they are no longer
patronized. In the way of fancy hats, round
black_straw chapeaux with white or blue
feathers,and yellow straw with black feath
ers, are the most distisigues. An agreeable
innovation is the general adoption of white,
blue, or green , gauze veils for all description
of bonnets. They should he very long, and
he thrown on one side, so as to drape grace
fully, and not be turned over the bonnet,
when desired. to be removed while in conver
sation, or for greater freedom of respiration.
The last novelty in the way of a walking
dress is thus described:—Plain slate-colored
ulard •rohe. Blue silk casaquo open at

The small and simple bonnet is in blue,crape,
ruched, but without any other ornament.
I see by the Record that the ladies of your
beautiful village have been holding a Fair
and Festival, for what object is not stated,
but I • presume, of eourse, for some charitable
or benevolent object, The spirit of charity
is abroad in the land, which has been, to a
great extent,. ,developed by the !ate war, so
that along with its dal k pictures and forbid
ding aspects, the war has been productive of
much good., The ladies of 'Waynesboro, we
believe, were behind none in their zeal and
patriotism. The calls of our brave soldiers
met with warm and cheering responses from
them. We tryst they will not be behind

selves and families. Let them be willing at
all times to extend a helping hand to—the

Slaver? in Georgia•
The Savannah Herald, of the 'loth says:
"Howell Cobb, who was in Augusta recent
ly, expressed an earnest desire to see Geor

Slavery, he 'said, could never be resuscitated,
and he thought it best for all to submit
promptly and willingly to the United States
authorities.
"Ex-Gorernor Brown was lately in Atlan
ta, entirely recovered from his illness. He
regarded the question of secession as settled,
and that any t urther agitation on that and
kindred subjeots should be studiously avoid

"rights" of the South were particularly mag

both our Harrisburg Cops, in which discreet
men, to say nothing of gentlemen, would have
refrained from indulging. General Geary

a thunder cloud with anger and indignation,
and suddenly drawing himself up to his full
grand height, the soldier of two wars de

ordering them to leave his premises, and
threatening, if they delayed, to kick them

Ruins of the Rebellion,
A Virginia paper speaks of the startling
fatality which has overtaken those who were
the political rebellious leaders of the State.
At the beginning of secession, Virginia hud
one Cabinet Minister who was a secessionist,
the Secretary of .War, John B. Floyd, He
is dead. She had two foreign Ministers
who were secessionists, lion. R. K. Meade
and Jolla M. Daniel. Both are dead. Her
two Senators, Hunter and Mason, were se•
cessionists--one is a- prisoner, the other an
.exile. Her oldest and most persistent, and
among her most influential citizens who sup
ported secession•, and the man who fired the
first gun at Sumpter, was Edmund Ruffin,
He is dead. The recognized leaders of the
secessionists in the State Convention were
George W. Randolph and ex President Ty
ler. Randolph is dying • abroad; Tyler is
dead. She had three newspapers conspicu
ously devoted to secession, the Richmond
Inquirer, the Richmond Examiner,, and the
Norfolk Argus. The journals are all extinct
and the leading spirits of all—Wise, Daniels,
and Lamb—are dead. In brief we are told,
there '"are not now ten men of conspicuous
prominence is the secession movement of
January 1801, who remain to exercise—if
they possess the desire—their influence to
thwart the movement of the people toward
loyalty and reunion."
THE WADE AND DAVIS MANIFESTO.-
Carpenter, the artist, in his reminiscences of
Mr.. Lincoln, relates the following:
Last year, upun the appearance of what
was known as the "Wade and Davis magi•
festo," an intimate friend and supporter,
who was very indignant that• such a docu
ment should have been put forth just previ
ous to the Presidential election, took occasion
to.animadvert very severely upon .the course
that prompted it. "It is not worth fretting
about," said the President, "it reminds me
of an old acquaintance, who, having a son
of a scientific turn, bought him a microscope.
The boy went around experimenting with
his glass upon evsrything that came in his
way. One day, at the dinner table, hisfath
er took up a piece of cheese. "Don't eat
that, father," said the boy, "it is full of wrig
glers." "My son," replied• the old gentle.
taking s et the same time, a huge bite;
