The Pennsylvania Railroad.

The editor of the Chicago Railroad Ga
sctte has been taking ride over the
Pennsylvania Railroad He describes the
country through which it passes in the
most glowing colors, and winds up as
follows: --
''The road is double tracked for nearly
the whole distance, is stone ballasted the
entire length, and for this reason, and on
account Of the skill in imbedding, is the
smoothest railroad for the length over
which we ever travelled. Over that entire
portion which lies around the mountains
and hills are stationed road watchlnen,
every two miles, whose sole duty it is to
ascertain and give notice of distractions
on the track. The cars are well ventila-
ted, and of the most approved modern
style. The sleeping cars are all that the
body could wish, while the conductors are
accommodating, intelligent and gentle
manly For these and sufficient other
reasons, such as good living, plenty of ice
water, close care of baggage, and a gener-
al sense of comfort, we give the Pennsyl-
vania Railway our hand, and proclaim it
''trump." 1t certainly is the live railroad
now from West to East, and vice uersa,
and must soon, unless something checks
its growth in popular favors, distance all
competition. This is most gratifying, as
it would clearly be a reward to merit. :"

BEAUTIFUL. IDEA-In the mountains
of Tyrol, it is the custom of the women
and children to come out when it is bed
time and sing their national songs until
they hear their husbands, fathers and
brothers answer them from the hills on
their return home. On the shores Of the
Adratic such a custom prevails. There
the wives OF the fishermen come about
sunset and sing melody. After singing
the first stanza, they listen awhile for an
answering melody from off the water; and
continue To sing and listen till the we'll
known voice comes borne on the waters,
telling that the loved one is almost home
How sweet to the weary fisherman, as the
shadows gather around him, must be the
songs of the loved ones at home, that sing
to cheer him. and how they must strength
en- and tighten the links that bind to
gether those humble dwellings by the
sea.

Never be afraid to put your hand to the
Wheel Circumstances may often place the
most afauent in position where, alone and
unaided, he must seek, By his own labor, to
build by his shattered fortune, and reinstate
himself in his former Independence. A man
who can do his own work, that il, build his
own fences, plough his own field, clean his
stable, and cook his dinner, is the independ.
ent man, rather than he who depends on
wealth to do things for him
This is the reason why our farmers, as 4
general class, are more independent, than
our town or city people. The former, by
the toll of their hands, make earth their
subject, whence the ten-fold return to their
seed sown, brings to them golden reward
for their labor. The latter place dependence
on second person to dig and delse for
them, while they are passing their time in
pleasure and vanity. The general complain
ers, and the wishcrs for riches are thu pes-
sons always dependent. Alittle toll to then
is hard thing, "dig they cannot, and are
ashamed to beg" whereas, if they sum
moned out their indolent faculties, to theil
duty, they might take astand amid the no
} bic men of earth. How sweet must the ra
fection be, to aman, that can look around
on his lands, his houses and his wealth, ant
say all these have l gained by industry ant
perseverance, unaided, save by health anc
! inclination. Delightful dreams must visi
such man, and his midnight visions mus
n be sweet monitors that 6ll his soul Will
pleasure.
"By the sweat Of thy face, shalt thou &c
thy bread, is general injunction, and N
N man in whatever position can prosper, un
> less he follows out the command.

The Conspiracy.


As has been often remarked, the secess-
ionists Of South Carolina have now furnished
abundant evidence that they have bccn long
conspiring the dissolution Of tile Union. The
following ara extracts from speeches made
in the South Carolina Convention, viz:
Mr.. Packer, speaking Of secession, said:
'.It IL spasnodic effort that has come sud-
denly upon us, but it has been gradually
cuIuiinating for long series Ur years. '-'-'-
Mr. Inglcs said: "Most of US have had
this subject under consideration for the last
twenty year,"
Mr.. Kcitt said: 81 have been engaged in
this ,novoment ever since I entered political
life."
Mr.. Rhett said; SIT is nothing produced
by Mr.. Lincoln's election, or tho non-execu-
ton Of the fugitive slave law. tits matter
which has been gathering head for thirty
yearA" And he further said: "We are
about to sunder our relations with that sec
tion [the North, aud trust forever.
On another occasion Mr.. Rhctt said: THE
Federal laws laying taxes on the people Of
South Carolina have fallen this day; and
j, So IS We arc concerned, fallen, I trust
iio..ss-;tories.,. lss

no, he is undcr dangerous delusion.-

HEPORTED MOVEMENT OF TROOPS
Down TEaE RIsSEsSIPPa RIVER
A well informed and perfectly reliable gen
tlensn, writing from St. Louis under date o.
May 9th, says;
al send you the following, a slip taken from
. paper OF yesterday. There seems to be a
quiet movement OF trosps fFoa this point South.
Several thousand left yesterday. The Govern
nsnt a. washipston, through their agents
here, are in III hsrket for some thirty or forty
steamboats,, and bave already purchased saw
sral. They are also Is treaty With the Pacific
Railroad Company FOR the transportation Of
troops to the termination OF the southwestern
branch Of that road. These are facts which
you can rely en- put your own construction on
them and act accordingly. The accumulation
Of German troops from Illinois, and the ints-
rior Of this State, is very large at this point.
There IL not less than twelve to fifteen thou
sand under arms and Ia camp herenow. Three
fourths Of the German population Of this city
have enlisted or in some way been induced to
join the federal ranks, and the number is being
daily increased. The vast number Of men
out Of employment and starving lmost
Tor bread, renders it a matter Of necessity for
them to DO something to procure fOOd-henee
there ir no difficulty in securing as many vic
tins for this unholy var as they may for the
present require.
Our belief here is, that they intend at an
early dav, TO march down the Mississippi
river With a powerful force, and Memphis will
probably be the arst point Of attack. A word
to the wise and prudent is sufficient. You can
not be too well prepared at all points. Your
State viii probably Be- invaded through Ken

tract the following
The wharTes at this place, as well as the
navy yard, Warrington, and al adjacent
points, are under marital law. Visi ors as a
matter OF course, are subjected to much incon-
venience; but this Is right. Our forces cannot
be too strict, Tor we are dealing with a treach-
srous foe, as is evidenced by their every ac-

as you are aware, is Fntirely without the range

and may be removed any day to such place az
Gen. Bragg NAV deem advisable. Among
these is the 5,h Georgia regiment. They have
a dress parade almost every evening. I am
going ont 10 see them this evening at 8 O'clock
I find many aequainisnees among them from
Augusta and UFlMn
Al Of our troops are in fine spirits. They
are determined upon victory. should a fight
come of here. Thg are a little impatient at
the delay, but they have confidence in their
supsrioTs, and are satisfied that Gen. Bragg
will do that which 10 best. I believe be will,
too. He is doing good service here, Il it il
only to dstain LintOln's feet until tie fight
is settled al some bther point. Lincoln may
send every war steamer in his feet around here,
and yet Piekens vill be taken when Gen.
Bragg gives the command.
There are several British vessels lying of

do not seem to be giving much thought 70 Lin

if this paper blockade had never been isaued.
l understand that they say that Lincsin'a no
tion Of blockading on ports is as absurd as
wss bis idea Of establishing floating custom
houses of our hsTbors. He might as well at
tempt TO keep it from raining upon the South
