After very clear and instructive re-
view Of the whole subject Of slavery as
embraced in the three points we have CIV
Ell, the able writer closes his very able
paper as follows:
Having passed in review most of the
great points involved in the pending con-
troversy, the question naturally arises {:
what has, thus far, been gained and
what are the prospects Of the future The
answer is brief and easy. The south stands
mistaken BY the storm; the Union still ex-
lists in its integrity and the federal con-
st'tution remains intact. Nothing has been
aeeomplished-nothing changed, except
the affections Of the contestants. Kindly
feeling has here and there given place to
incipient aversion, and in a few instances,
perhaps. disttust ha, found a Judgement
where confidence formerly reigned SUI.
preme. A few demagogues have hoatea
into power on the surface OF sect,ona)ism,
and some men, good and true, have been
borne down, for the time being, and have
been disappeared. Tbe effect upon the
rorth has been that Of political disintegra.
ton, while to the south il has brought har-
mouy, unity, and a higher appreciation of
It's own geographical position. Here, the
disturbing effects have not been confined
within the circle Of political action
alone. The religious element has been
drawn into the great sectional vortex, and
one Denomination OF Chritians, and that
DOT small Que, has, by its action. anticipa-
ted a political $; rverance ofthe union, BY
Withholding It's Christian sympathy from
those ip tue south, gifts own former house
hold. While northern demsgogues, like
Horace Greedy, aud northern fanatics eve
rywhere have been calculating the value
of the union, southern men have been
looking about, and within themselves for
such seIf-sustaimng elements as nature and
natures God has scattered over their own
fair inheritance. 1t is idle longer to pre-.
tend that the south has not within herself
all the resources of a great empire; or,
that in the event Of separation, she alone
would be the sufferer. The geniall,y OF
her climate largely compensates for the
absence Of many advantages possessed
by the north and in more respects than
one, will forever render her great centre
Of wealth and power. A severance of the
ties which bind us together would be
nc more disastrous TO her than such an
event would be to the north. Our depen-
dence is mutual, and the union, as it is,
is equally essential to both.

The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad is
one Of the greatest establishments of the
kind in this or any other country. 1t
would be almost incredible to tell the
amount OF transportation upon that road
The immense coal trains, with their huge
engines seem to travel in companies Of
about half dozen, making strings on
some sidlings, Of about mile in length
The passenger train passes smoothly and
rapidly over the road. We took the train
at Harper's Ferry about II o'clock a. M,
on the 18th inst, and arrived at Wheel
ing at o'clock a. m. on the next day.
Here we lay over several hours and took
view Of this thriving city. Wheeling
has every appearance Of city, and is do
ing large business. The beautiful Ohio
rolls gently along IN front of th.. city,
bearing upon its bosom the rich trade al
the active and enterprising people Of this
vicinity. A few MINUTES after 8 o'clock
we dropped down the river four miles on
the Steamer Brown Dick, to Belle Air,
where we took the OHIO Central Railroad
and ran rapidly INTO the State 104 miles
to Newark, where we arrived few min-
utes alter 5 o'clock, jast in time, however,
to be too late to connect with the Newark
aud Sandusky train. Here we are COM
PEELED to remain until 8 o'clock to-mor-
row morning. The Central Ohio road has
guage Of feet and some inches. About
one-half OF the track is very smooth and
tolerably straight. 1t passes throug,l a
billy country along the creeks and rivers !;
but one OF the tunnels upon it Is out Of
order and delays the transit. This por-
tion OF Ohio resembles very much many
portions of Virginia, but it is more billy
than the Valley OF Virginia. The low
lands among the hills IN this part Of Ohio
Is inclined 10 be wet and IN some places
ponds are seen. ! was told, however, by
buckeye" that the railroad passes the
most inferior part Of this section of the
State. Tomorrow ] expect, however, to
see some Of the fine lands of Ohio. The
Mu'kingum fiver, along which we passed
Tor several miles. is navigable for small
steamers. The Licking nver is about the

Price of Flour.

The price of Flour is now becoming
the absorbing topic with both consumers
and producers. We are how confident
from recent developments, that the rates
must considerably advance. The result
must be extreme suffering among the poor
er classes during the winter, and great de-
preston in the business operations Of those
| who have been heretofore considered easy
liyers. The prices have been SO cnor-
mously high for the last eighteen months,
that it has been difficult matter for some
10 indulge in eating flour at all, and the
prospect tor the future is 'amentably worse
than the actual experience ias been for
the past II months. The announcement
that the French Government had dispatch.
ed IFS agents 10 the country 10 buy up
flour TO meet the deficiency in the crops
there, and the unususl demand occasioned
by the operations IN the Crimea, is d fact
significant OF our epprehensions. The
whole Of Western Europe is looking to
America for their supplies. Can we meet
tie demaad without bringing suffering
upon the poorer classes? 1t is the opinion
Of well Informed persons that we cannot
The Richnond Wing estimates the foreign
demand at twice the amount Of any sur
plus ever produced, in one year, in this
country. And assuming that the crop Of
the past year was uo, as heavy as some OF
previous years, the demand upon the
store-houses Of America, will be over
double her ability to supply, without in
iringing upon the Legitimate supply for
our own people. Should these conjcc.ures
prove true, the result must be very de-
pressing and oaerous upon the laboring
classes. The farmer, however. will reap
his harvest. We will give more particu-
lar to attention this subject hereafter.

VERDICT OF THE BURLINGTON IN
QUEST.

BURLINGTON, n. J., Sept. 9TH The jury in
the case of the late terrible accident ON the Cam
den aud the Amboy Railroad delivered their yer
diet this morning, declaring that the death ofthe
victims was the result of running the train back
ward, the immediate cause coming III contact
with pair of horses driven Dr. Henekein, whose
conduct IS censured as careless and reckless.
The engineer, the verdict says did not observe
the rules of the company relative to blowing the
whistle. They exonerate the conductor, who
was acting in accordance with the rules of the
company. They declare that the company should
adopt some more efficient mode to prevent the
recurrence of such accidents suggesting that
the safety of the passengers Is OF more lmpor-
lance than the saving of few minutes time.
The remaining injured body has been identi
fed as that of 7. Y. Loveland, of Laconia, ILL.,
