The New Year.

Another year has been added to the
scroll of time and new one greets US, full
of promise OF future joys and success to
the faithful and honest, and who will act
upon tie experience which previous ones
afford. Eighteen Hundred and fifty eight,
simply MS a measure of time, is gone never
to be recalled but its current events and
manifold associations will live as hight of
experience TO all who have wisdom enough
to accept its guidance. The man who
does not profit by the lessons of the past
and which every day observation teaches,
lives to but little purpose.
The opening Of II new year is regarded
b, most persons, amidst the multiplicity of
their duties and cares, the same rs any 9th.
er period /, is no more than natural and
ordinary recurrence Of an epoch which ADDS
one more year TO the lapse of time But
ii cannot be denied, that il Is n most oppor-
tune occasion for every individual to retro
spect the events of the preceding year as
they bore particularly upon his existence,
study the lessons which they nculcate and
draw wisdom as It were from the past
This is the natural and inherent right and
privilege of every human being, and no one
neglects to exercise it but with serious dct-
riment to himself, as respects his future
success or the attainment of ihe object to
which the labors of his life are devoted
The page or 1853 is written ont in the
memory of every individual that Of 1859
is blank. We do not envy the man who
can draw no lesson from the old page 10
assist him In commencing The new, in that
way and manner which may redown to his
honor, his happiness and to his success in
life
From general retrospect Of the past
year, we cainot but feel, rs people, that
we have abundant cause for congratulation
among ourselves foi the high degree Of
prosperity that has attended us during the
year. The financial difficulties that encom-
passed us ut the beginning have been dis
PEELED; the husbandman has been well re-
warded for his labors, and peace and plcn-
ty reign throughout the length and breadth
of our prosperous country. The usual de-
gree of health has attended US, and at this
time every section of our country is free
from pestlenla disease. The cause of
Religion, which we all desire to see advan.
ced. has progressed with more than ordna-
ry speed during The year from Maine to
Texas its enkindling influence has been felt, ,
and some perhaps, whose eyes may chance
20 fall upon this article are numbered among
the fortunate ones who We're regenerated
and renewed in the spirit. For all these
BILE essiago. We trust there are none who can.
not win becoming reverence humbly bow
and acknowledge the source from whence
they came.
We -bea to. extend to ail lsof-our readers
the compliments or'the season, hoping that
their utmost desires and contcmpla' ions for
good may be fully realized.

Our Railroad Prospects.

We are not about to impose upon our
readers our already often repeated notions
in respect TO the duty Of Lancaster, to re.
lieve herself of the disadvantages under
which she labors in consequence of want
OF railroad facilities; our Intention is mere.
ly to indorse a hint thrown out to US by
an outsider: The Columbia Guardian, ia
speaking of the Western extension Of the
North Carolina railroad, now under contract
from Wilmington to Ruthcrfordton, says OF
our section

seat o! Union, about twenty five miles a
