WILLIE TURNPIKE COMPANY.

TIME PRESIDENT AND DIRECTORS, with the
a. majority of the Stockholders, have determined
to construct on this turnpkea Plank Road, running
from the city boundary Seventh street to the line

tent of seven hundred and fifty shares, of f,oenfy
dollars each, and have appointed the undersigned
to solicit and receive subscriptions to the same.

Fire dollars each share is to be paid at the time
of subscribing, and like amount every sixty
days until the whole is paid.
The advantages of such road TO the city, and
the property in the vicinity of the road, must be
apparent TO oil conversant with is situation. There
is but little doubt that similar road will be
built connecting this road with Rockville and
Brookville--tbe last in the midst of fine agri-
cultural country; thus opening direct and easy
route from Montgomery and the upper part of
Anne Arundel counties to this city for the trans
portaton Of the products of that and the surround
ing country
Plank Roads being most extensively con-
structed throughout the country, and have eUery-
tchere proved profitable investments, paying large
dividends TO the stockholders, besides improving
the value of property near them, and greatly in
creasing the trade in the places through which
they pass
A considerable portion Of the stock has already
been subscribed.
Holders of the old stock in the company are enti-
tied to share of stock for every ftco shares
of the Old which will be issued TO them surren-
der of the old certificates. The road will pro-
ready for travel The cost will be lees than Sl5,-
900. II is thought it will pay dividend of not less
than five per cent. the first year after it is finished
and the dividends will steadily increase.

SOMETHING NEw-GALvANIc PRINTNo PnEss.--
MR. F. Foreman passed up on the Fulton, ON Sun
day, on his way to Washington, to procure a pa
tent for most ingenious and practical invention.
He had with him perfect model of a prnting G
press, moved and regulated by means of galvanic
magnets. We shall not attempt complete de-
scription of Mr. F.'s discovery; suffice it to say
that he had the press in full operation, with form
upon it, from which he threw off impressions with
the rapidity Of lightning. His paper works upon o
reel, and is continuous, like the telegraphc coil.
The paper passes the type on cylinder, and
when one side is worked the paper is reversed, and
the other side printed with most perfect register,
and the sheets clipped apart, they come from
the press, by an ingenious contrivance. There is
no limit, hardly, to the speed at which this press
will work; its exactness is beyond any thing known
in this line of machinery, and what is better than
all, MIR. +. says he can put up the largest t-sized
press at cost of not more than $500 Mr. Fore
man is practical printer, and at present citizen
of New Boston, Illinois. In lS49 he had charge of
the Herald, in this place, for few weeks. We
have no doubt that his 'fortune' is now made, and
we sincerely rejoice at it.

'Tis holy time. The evening shade
steals with a soft control
O'er nature, az thought OF heaven
Steals Per the human soul
And every ray from yonder blue,
And every drop of falling dew,
Seem TO bring down to human woes
From heaven message of repose-
O'er yon tall rock the solemn trees,
A shadowy group incline;
Like gentle nuns in sorrow bowed
Around their holy shrine;
And o'er them now the night winds blow,
So calm and still. the music low
Seems the mysterious voice OF prayer
Soft echoed on the evening air.
The mists, like incense from the earth,
Rise to God beloved,
And DER the waters move as erst
Il The Holy Spirit moved;
The torrents voice, the waye's low hymn,
Seem the far notes of seraphim
And all earth's thousand voices raise
Their song of worship, love, and praise.
The gentle sisterhood of flowers
Bend low their lovely eyes,
Or gaze through trembling tears OF dew
Up to the holy skies;
And the pure stars come out above,
Like sweet and blessed things of love,
Bright signals in the ETHEREAL dome
Ts guide the parted spirit home.
There is a spirit of blessedness
In air and earth and heaven,
And nature wears the blessed look
OF a young saint forgiven;
Oh, who, at such an hour OF love,
Can gaze on all around, above,
And not kneel down upon the sod
With Natures self to worship God

is not certain
In Montgomery and Russell counties, James
AbercrombIe, Union candidate, leads John Coch

dyyipal of the Union

New YoRK, August Ito p. m.-The steamship
Union has arrived from New Orleans, bringing
papers a day ahead Of the mail. The Della of the
Let states that the steamship Pampero had col
lapsed her exhaust pipe, compelling her to under
go repairs before resuming her trips to Galveston.
No other ausion is made 20 the Pampero Gin
cinnati. which the telegraph reported having
sailed for Cuba on the night of the I'd. The Delta
is therefore doubtless TO deceive the Govern
ment to the true destination of the Pampero.
The Delta says that the committees appointed to
raise funds to assist the patriots have been met
with the most enthusiastic letters from Cuba.
