Baltimore & Ohio RaiIroad.

The officers of the Baltimore and Ohio Rail-
road Company having sent US an invitation to
take trip over that great line of Improvement,
we recently took advantage of the opportunity
to make hurried excursion to Wheeling. The
Road itself is one of the marvels of the age. A
few years ago we crossed the Allegheny and
Cheat mountains On horseback, not far from the
line of the Railroad, and little imagined then
that we should ever be carried over the same
heights by steam power. The number Of pas
sengers ard amount of freight which pass over
the line must be immense. While we waited
at the Relay House, about an hour, for the train
from Baltimore, five or six trains passed that
point. Three passenger trains leave Baltimore
and Wheeling every twenty-four hours. The
scenery on q part of the road is very fine, but
take it all in all, we give the preference to the
view from the Blue Ridge, on the Virgins
Central Railroad.

THE s'MERcURYn ON THE NATIONAL DRMooRA
oY.-The Charleston Mercury, of Saturday last
thus pitches into the National Democracy
"The insensate idea that the Democratic party
as now existing with the whole Northern wing
as completely sectioDalized as the Black Repub
llcan party,) is essential to the maintenance OF
the rights and institutions of the South, has it's
precedent only in the worst days of the Italian
Republics, when honor and truth were only ac-
knowledged to be derided. The Charleston
Convention had not one single principle in COM
mon between the Northern and Southern Dem
ocrats.. No set Of men ever got together of
more direct and vehement antagonism''
This being SO, how can the two wings of the
party ever honestly cooperate? And this being
So, why should even any attempt be made to
unite the two wings?

BELL AND EvERETr-DExooRATlo SENTIMENT.
The Osceola (Missouri) Democrat, a paper that
has the Democratic State ticket at its masthead
thus speaks of the Constitutional Union Candi-
dates So
The National Union Convention, recently as
sembled at Baltimore, with the greatest harmo-
ny and unsnimity, nominated John Bell, OF
Tennessee, for President, and Edward Everett,
Of Massachusetts,, for Vice President. This is a
very strong ticket and very good one. Many,
who, previous to the Charleston Convention, re-
garded the Baltimore Convention as an insignif.
icant affair, are impelled to view it now in quite
different light. 1t has suddenly doomed up
and assumed the proportions of a National Con-
ventioD, upon the action of which the destinies
of the Union may yet be suspended. Harmony,
unanimity and enth nsiasm prevailed throughout
all its deliberations, which is far more than can
be said of most national conventions Events
yet to occur may make it the the imperative du-
ty of every one who desires the perpetuation of
the Union in peace, to support John Bell and
Edward Everett.
