Baltimore and Ohio Railroad.

We learn from a variety of sources, which
seem to be generally credited, that the dam
ages to this road, between Cumberland and
Harpers-Ferry, are to be repaired at once,
and the entire line once more put in running
order. The road when repaired, will be
protected and kept open by a sufficient mill
tary force.
1t will be remembered that the whole road
with the exception of the gap between the
above two points, has for some time been in
running order, but 10 the people of Cumber-
land and the surrounding country it is en-
tirely useless, so far as eastern travel and
freight is concerned. The consequent in
conveniences in travel, the high prices Of
groceries and provisions, and the almost en-
tire prostration of business, has furnished to
us all striking illustration of the fruits Of
secession. and we are glad to see and to know
that goodly number Of its former devotees
have gotten their eyes fairly opened. Those
who would not see, have been made to feel.
We are sure this important event will be
hailed by all with gladness.

Col. James A. Mullfgan.

Colonel James A. Mulligan was born in
1929, and is consequently in his thirty-sec-
ond year. His parents were natives of Ire
land. His mother, after the death of his faith
er, which took place when he was child,
removed to Chicago, where she has resided
with her son for the past twenty-three years.
She married respectable Irsh-American in
Chicago named Michael Lantry, who has
steadily watched with a fathers solicitude the
expanding mind Of the brave young soldier.
He was educated at the Catholic College of
North Chicago, under the superintendent of
the Rev. Mr.. Kinsellar, now Of New York
city, and is strict member of the Catholic
Church. In 1852, 1858, and 1854 he read
law in the office Of the Hon. Isaac N. Ar
mold, Congressman from the Chicago District.
For a short time he edited the Western 1ablet,
semi-religious weekly newspaper in Chca-
60. In 1856 he was admitted an attorney
at-law in Chicago. At this time he held the
position of Second Lieutenant in the Chicago
Shields Guards, one of the companies attach
ed to the Irish Brigade now in Missouri, and
which did so well at Lexington.
Colonel Muligan is worthy Of all praise.
A purer better man does not live in the State
of Illinois. Since he was able to tell the diff
ference between ale and water glass of spir-
itous or malt liquor has not passed his lips
He is rigid temperance man, although he
is jocund and whole-souled to fault. He
is six feet three inches in height, with wiry,
elastic frame, large, lustrous, hazel eye an
open, frank, Celtic face, stamped with cour-
age, pluck, and independence, surmounted
with bushy profusion of hair, tinctured
with grey. Honorable in all relations, re-
spected by all, he has won his way by un-
firing industry and unquestionable courage.
On the 26th Of October, 1859, he was mar
ried to Miss Marian Nugent by the Roman
Catholic Bishop of Chicago.
In the winter of 1857 Senator Fitch, of In
diana, rendered him clerkship in the De-
partment of the Interior. He accepted of
the position and spent the winter at Wash
ington. During his residence in Washing
ton he correspondent with the Utica Telegraph,
over the nomnae de plume Of Satan After
his return to Chicago from Washington, he
was elected Captain Of the Shields Guards
On the news arriving Of the bombardment of
Fort Sumter, the Irish American companies
held meeting, of which he was chairman,
and soon afterwards he went to Washington
with letter, written by the late Senator
Douglas on his death-bed to the President,
rendering regiment to be called the "Irish
Brigade" 1t was accepted, and, being cleo
ted Colonel, the brave Mulligan Immediately
went to work with WILL His regiment was
rapidly organized, and from that time until
the compulsory surrender of Lexington, after
a protracted siege, the course of the organ
ization is we'll known.

The Feeling at the South.

ays:-'Persons who by flags of truce
reach here, via Norfolk, from Richmond
and other cities in the South, bear wit
ness to the comparatively liberalized
state of feeling at Norfolk. I have be.

grown so influential as to cause Gen.
Huger to be unwilling to undertake to

were in another land, and indeed about
to emerge from darkness into light. 1t

Baltimore and Ohio Railroad.

Washington Correspondence of N. Y. Post.
The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
company are busy in constructing the
material for iron bridges in the place of
the structures destroyed BY the rebels
between Sandy Hook to Cumberland -
There seems to be mistaken idea af1oat,
to wit: that the Government expects to
furnish material for the repair of the
road. This is entirely mistake. The
Government merely intimates that in a
few days it will be in condition to give
that military protection necessary to the
construction of the line. The company
does the work and foots the bills. and
will manage it as they now do the Wash
ington branch. The directors and Pres
ident, it is said, effectually cured of
their secession proclivities, inasmuah as
the rebellion has already cost them mil
lions.

Fatal Accident.

Private John Hughes, of the Continentals,
Captain Lynn, met with fatal accident Oh
Friday last, under the following circumstan-
ces. The Allegany County Regiment were
drilling on the evening Of that day. The
men were ordered to take brief rest, when
the deceased thoughtlessly leaned his head
upon the muzzle of his gun, with his foot
placed upon the hammer of the lock, no
doubt raising it, and allowing it to fall. The
piece instantly went off, driving the contents,
ball and two buckshot through his head
which was most horribly mangled, scattering
his brains for a number of yards, over bis
fellow-solders.
His remains were inferred Cd Sunday af-
ternoon, with the honors of war in the pres
ence Of a large concourse of people. The
funeral was the largest that ever took place
in Cumberland. What is remarkable about
this sad affair is, that the cap, it is said, had
been removed from the tube The compost
ton in the cap must have been left on the
tube, thus causing the powder to ignite.

GuStaVuS w. Smith.

The statement that this traitor ex-
celled General Mcclellan IN the honors
of his class (of 1846) at West Point, is
untrue. A correspondent says:
Gustavus W. Smith graduated at the
West Point Military Academy in 1912,
and No 8 in his class. At the head Of
his class stood Henry L. Eustis, now a
Professor in Harvard College. In the
same class was General Roseoraus, who
was No. 5.
General Mcclellan gradusted four
years later, in 1916; at the head of his
class was Charles S. Stewart. now q
United States engineer at Fortress Mon
roe General Mcclellan was No. 2,
Charles E. Blunt and John G.. Foster
were Nos. 8 and 4. These included all
the cadets of that year who entered the
engineer corps. No. 8 is engaged on
the great works covering Washington.
No. 4 is constructing the fertilization at
Sandy Hook, New York harbor.

Cavalry Company.

The cavalry company intended to be at
tached to our Home Brigade, arrived here on
Saturday last, from Frederick. The COM
pary was raised principally at Clearspring,
in Washington county, and will constitute a
portion of the Allegany regiment. The
company is an excellent one in every re-
spect, and well equipped. Each man is
armed with Sharp's rifle and navy revolver,
and will, in short time, be furnished with
sabre. The company is differed as fol-
lows William Fiery, Captain Alexander
Flory, LIST Lieutenant; Albert Metz, I'd
Lieutenant. The Captain is gentleman Of
experience and great energy, and brother
of Louis P. Fiery, the Union champion OF
Washington county, who is now a candidate
for State Senator, of that county This
company will prove a valuable accession to
our military force in Cumberland. The &C.
cession cavalry across the river will now find
something to engage their especial attention.
