The Opening Of the 3. & Q. Railroad.

We have been too buSily occupied during the
past week, with presenting our readers with the
remarks Of Others, to obtrude upon them any re.
Elections ofour own. To say that we were pleased
with the result of the celebration, would but poor
ly express our feelings, and we may be allowed to
express the hope, that our viSiters were equally
pleased, though they must peak for themselves,
There were large number Of distinguished
guests in attendance, and among them Gov. John.
SON of Virginia, and Gov. Lowe, of Maryland, both
whom d.livered short addresses at the reception
ne Court House. Gov. Johnson spoke first, and
~ appropriately, but as we intend to publish
mis- address in day ortwo, $50 soon as we have
time to write it out, from our notes,) shall not
further aiiuds TO It. Gov. Lowe followed more in
length giving some history Of the reception, organi
cation and design of the Baltimore and Ohio Rail-
road Company. He stated that the Railroad Com
pany, had never had Que dollar Of money from the
State but had used the bonds of State; and had
invariably paid the interest, that the State had
had neither trouble norexpense. He adverted at
length to the great results which must follow from
the completion Of their great work, and designated
it as bond of union, stronger than any comprO-
mise, and far more durable and permanent.
We were too much pleased with the manner and
remarks Of the speaker to take notes, OF we would
gladly furnish his speech in full asst was not only
able but eloquent aud was as distinguished for its
enlarged and liberal views and its freedom from
petty party bias, as it was instructive. He paid
beautiful compliment to the energy and fidelity of
Thomas Swami and declared boldly that in Com
mercial and State affairs having no political bear
ing, he knew neither Wing nor Democrat, but look
ed only for capacity and integrity, and when he
found them in Wing he endorsed them US cheer
fully as when he found them in Democrat: This
sentiment was received with prolonged cheers and
loul cries of good, good, aud was asentimentwor-
thy of the Governor of Maryland: Indeed, though
differing politically with him, we felt like throwing
up our hat ard wishing that $50 long as he eOntin-
ues % act upon such sentiments, SO long might he
continue Governor of Maryland.'' Were aIlstate
functionaEies TO act upon such principles how much
party feeling and political rancor would be savedl
Gov. Lowe is a very young looking man, apparently
about thirty years of age, 1--WE learn he is in fact
foTty-fye,) and altogether one ofthe most attrac-
tive looking m with whom we have met. II he
acts as he speaks (and we doubt not he does) Ma
lyland hasreason to be proud of him. We regret
that we cannot publish his address along with
y. Johnston's, but fear we cannot, our notes be-
ing too Ineagte,

CONSOLIDATION OF Ono RAnRoADs.-we learn
from the Cincinnati Gazette that John Wood, Pres
itent of the Hamilton anu Dayton Railway, hasse-
cured an exclusive connection and joint interest
with the Richmond and Miami and the New Castle
and Richmond railways He also contracted with
the Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton railway for
running the road jointly for FIVE years, from Gin
cinnati 10 Richmond, the expenses to be divided
between them according 10 the respective lengths
of the two roads. The contract with the Richmond
and Miami and the New Castle and Richmond
roads consolidates them with the Hamilton and Ea-
ron road, and secures single guage from Hamilton
to Logansport. When the road is completed to
this latter place, second track of the same guage
is to be laid by the Cincinnati, Hamilton and Day
ton road from Hamilton to Cincinnati. This ar
rangement looks to single continuous line 10 CHI
cago of the different roads-a distance of 800 miles
combined together as common interest.

Rrv. A1rxANDER CAMPaELL.-This distinguish
ed clergyman, has been laborng for some time past
in Missouri, and has been very successful in rails
ing funds for his college. Few men have exerted
more pow erful influence upon the Protestant
denomination of our country, than Alexander
Campbell. The St. Louis Republican say,
"Forty years ago, solitary and alone, he com
menced the propagation of those sentiments, which
al present characterize the denomination known as
christians or 'deciples of Christ These views
which he elaborated in a eriodical called the
Ch, istian Baptist running through seven volumns,
and afterwards in the 'Millenial Harbinger,' now
in its twenty-third year, he represented as the
source Of PRIMITIVE christianity, and as the only le-
pitimate basis of christian union. Not less than
s0O. 600 christians now occupy the ground assumed
by Mr. Campbell, and of this number, there said 10
be twenty-five thousand in Missouri.
