WORCESTER AND NASHUA RAIL ROAD. The
tracks, now laid and the road opened from this city to
Groon where it connects with the Stony Brook Rail
Road, which extends from Groton 10 the Lowell Il
Nashua Rail Road Middlesex village four miles above
Lowell This gives US pretty direct rail road cOmmu>
nicalion with Lowell aud Nashua-he distance to the
latter place being only about tour miles further than
will he by he direct route, when that is Completed
The cars will commence then regular trips from this
place this morning running three times day. The
line from Groion 10 Nashua is nearly completed and
is now expected that the rails will all be down, that
the road will open and he through the whole
line on the first week IN December.
We accepted an invitation, yesterday morning, to
take in company with the Directors, in The FIRST
passenger that passed the road this place.
We found the very pleasant one, and, though
there may not be many objects of special interest
some other routes, yet, IN the proportion and amount
of beautiful landscape scenery, think it unequalled
by any other rail road running from our city.
The station at the intersection of this road with
the Filchhurg road in the south eastery part OF Groton
although not in The vicinity Of any village, hard>
ly of single dwelling, must, think, become place
| OF some importance from the fact that ii is a focal cen,
ire for rail roads which dverge less than six differ
e1t directions rom that point; westerly Fitchhurg
&c. norhweserly by the Shirley and Peterboro' road
10 Townsend, &c, norhery 10 Nashua, northeastery
by the Stony Brook road to Lowell &C.. easlerIy to
Boston, and southerly to Worcester
/ We understand that contract has been made with
the Directors for the running Of Express on this road
which will probably connect with the Eastern lines and
also give regular express between Nashua and Boston
| The compensation to be received by the company is
very liberal one.
The Fi,chburg and Worcester Rail Road will enter
the line of this road at Washacum Pond in Sterling
about II miles from this city. 1t is so nearly completed
that it will probably be opened early in the Spring
This will open to US pretty direct connection with the
Vermont and Massachusetts and The Cheshire Rail
| Roads
We hail this first opening of the connection of the
great Northern, Northwestern and Eastern Rail Roads
with this city as important in our progress as
an event which TO furnish stimulus and nutrimeot
to our growth and one which will be great convenience
to the travelling community.

DEvoUr VorER. Under this head some of
the papers state that clergyman of Norwich,
Ct, who voted at the late election, wrote on the
back OF his ticket the following prayer:
"May God grant that this vote, given with ex-
IRENE reluctance and many fears, may not con-
tribute to perpetuate the shame and crime Of nv
beloved country, nor bring upon her the curse of
Heaven"
Now, 1t strikes us that here is no very certain
evidence OF particular devoutness in the voter.
II seems to US more as il there was conviction
on his nind,-which made him uneasy, that he
was voting for nomination that was "not fit to
be made" Had he been more devout, con-
science would probably have done its ssperfect
work. and induced him to withhold the vote

THE SLAVE TRADE. The public not long
since was shocked by the announcement of an
awful TRACED in the Jail of Covington, Kentucky.
A husband and wife, on their way to the South

buried a knife in its heart, and then slew them
selves. Who can imagine the intensity OF the
agony which drove them to such deed as this

MASSACHUSETTS, NEGRO DRIVERS.
see that the Boston Atlas, now that the great LOUIS.
lama STAKEHOLDER is elected the Presidency rauing
about the Cong, essonal Districts -Four and Five The
cause Of this impertinent interference Of the Atlas is
obvious The Taylorites of Massachusetts have beed
all their resolutions and professions Of the last ten years
upon the subject of savery--reacheFousy succumbed
TO the Southtredcherosy because they had secretly,
made the bargain Of submission when they we're pre-
tending better things to the people-and aided in the
election Of saveTys chosen champion. But this is not
enough to satisfy their Southern masters They must
take that enters the Halls ofCongress from
Massachusetts, who will tanely yield whatever the
South may claim. The administration of Gen Taylor
must be harmonious. Hence, the Taylor leaders must
sink themselves still owerdown the ignobe level OF
the negro drivers of the Southland whip ill., or attempt
TO whip in, the yeomanry and mechanics Of districts
-Four and Five to Southern submission.
The Boston Atlas has led of in this dirty work-to be
followed by the Egs and other Taylor prints. But, in
this work, they viii md themselves mistaken for,
though slaves themselves they will find they are dealing
with freemen who despise alike the character Of the
negro driver whether he pursues his base vocation in
Massachusetts, or Louisiana. 4.
