he great •inajority of those who went into
the army were well doing mechanics and

TIME'S CHANCIES.-A cotemporary pithi
ly remarks that the reader of Pennsylvania
history will remember that many thousands
of poor white Germans, Irishmen, &0., were
formerly bought and sold to pay their pass
age. They were Called Rectemptioners, and
for a time were looked upon with scorn, and
denied equal rights and privileges. Now,
however, their cieseendants_ are among our
best, most independent, respected citizens.—
Formerly the Jews Were everywhere spit up
on, and as a race ostracized, and denied corn
men rights. Now they are almost every
there treated as human beings should be
treated. In like manner the Africans, late
ly subject to life-long bondage, will ultimate
ly attain that honor and respect to which
they shall be entitled by their merits, and
should therefore hibor to become virtuous and
intelligent, and to possess property.

one effort but continue your work. I can •
assure you, as.l. did before that the road shall
be eitencled to your place, as proposed, if
your people sribscribe liberally, but I must
cogess that if you desire your locality to be
favored with an extension of this Railroad,
you will be much disappointed unless your
people do their Share towards it.- Your peo

for them. and thus enrich them, when they
look-idly-on-and-do-nothitrg .
Your only plan is to g et subscriptions, and
by a eonstatit, united effort, you certainly
can accomplish your purpose. I. now, can
didly say, that your people will find that they
have delayed the matter too long, and past
hops if they do not, this spring, present a
Wand reasonable inducement in the shape
of subscriptions, for the road• to be extended
to Waynesboro'. .
I -want it to go there, but cannot control
against the feelings which would away if
your locality does not do its duty. There is
no fancy or speculation about this matter but
all reality, and I hope your people will take
it as such and believe me. I remain
May we not trope that the friends of this
enterprise, after perusing the foregoing let

stigma upon our business and agricultural

GEIqTLEMEN:—the toils and anxieties of
the last four years have from time_ to time
brought on me severe attacks of' disease.—
From the most neVere of these I ant now
slowly struggling towards recovery. I find
that to gift MS , constitntion an opportunity
to continue • this, struggle, it is absohitely
necessary that 'I should, withont delay, make
a short sea Voyage % and sojourn in a trader
cliMate. tinder the pressure of this neees
sitY Igo 'to the Island of' Cuba. It is Any
hope and intention'tO return in good season
to welcome you on your arrival at the seat
of government. ' But, if it should be found
indispensable that.my visit to Cuba should
be prolonged to the early part of February,
this message will serve to lay before you the
cause of my absence at the commencement
of yoUr session. In this case I feel sure that
you will adopt such course as shall' consist
with your wisdom, and with the affectionate
consideration which I have always `received
at your hands.
It would, however, not become me to for
get that the issues_of life-are-in-the - hands of
"One above all, and that many have found
death waiting for them on the foreign shore
to.which they had been sent in search of
health. Should such be my fate, I shall
draw my last breath with a• sense of the deep
est gratitude to the people of the Common
wealth and their Representatives for the
cheerful, manly, unfailing support which
they have given during the labt four years
to the great cause of the right, and to me in
my efforts to maintain it, and with a prayer
of thankfulness •to Almighty God, that He
strengthened me till the end of the cruel re
bellion, and thought me worthy to be permit
ted to continue to that time as the Chief
Magistrate of the people• of Pennsylvania.—
To have my name cohnccted in that relation
