ATLANTIC { GREAT WESTERN R. R.

A meeting of the Board Of Directors of the
Atlantic q Great Western R. R. was held at
this place on Thursday last, the 4th inst. II
was full and i'm portant meeting, and much
interest was felt by the friends Of the road
in its doings and results. Matters of great
importance were brought up for its astion.-
Among others the entire road in our part of
the State is so far mpleted that the settle
ment between the contractors and company
was under consideration, and it is final and
satisfactory settlement to all parties-the
company receiving the road from the con-
tractors. From this date, therefore, the for
mer takes the whole control of the work in
this State. ~
The continuation Of the line in Pennsyl-
vania, to junction with the Sunbury / Erie
Road, is 10 be prosecuted without delay
Chief Engineer Kennard left our place on
Friday last for New York to hasten the i'm
mediate shipment Of the balance Of the rails
necessary to the completion of this road to
that point.
The further prosecution Of the enterprise
in Pennsylvania and Ohio, to connec ion
with the Cleveland roads, and to Akron, viii
be urged without delay, under the new con-
tracts now closed by the companies with
James McHenry, Esq, Of Liverpool, Eng
land The work is to be under the immedi-
ate direction Of Mr.. Kennard, as Engineer
in-Chief of the company, and DR.. S. W.
Stretor, the late contractor, as Superintend-
ent of the works.
Mr.. jKennard hopes to open the road for
traffic to Cleveland and Akron, Ohio, early
in the fall, which he will no doubt be able
to do, as he will be promptly and fully sus-
tanned by the able capitalists in England,
France and Spain.-Ja1'eSto'0H IN. ~ Jour

Military Matters at Washiugton.
Special dispatches to the Cincinnati Commercial.
WASHINGTON, May TO-
The Pennsylvania Regiment together with
four hundred regular Army Infantry and
Sherman's Six-gun Battery, came in this
evening. The regulars are just returned from
Texas and look rather worse for wear.
Six companies Of flying artillery with
thirty-six field pieces are now stationed here.
The number Of troops now within the city
limits exceeds $4,000.
Daily visits to the White House and De-
partments give me the best possible opportu-
nifty to ascertain the relative zeal of President,
Secretaries and assistants in discharging their
duties st this mOmentous time, and can as
sure your readers, tat all labor faithfully
and energetically for the country's good.
An absence of exciting events for few
DAYS should not induce the belief that matters
are going wrong or slow at headquarters
The war will be prosecuted vigorously as soon
as plans of intended aggressive movements
are fully elaborated, and all the means to
carry them out successfully will be at the
hand of the military authorities.
Office seekers still have many representa-
tives here. The impudent eormorants should
all be subjected to dFum-head court-martal.
Heads of departments have wisely deter
mined to receive no personal application,
and to make appointments only when the
public good really demands it.
No less Than eight steam craft, heavily
loaded with ammunition, and with clothing,
blankets, ke., and provisions, have arrived
M the Potomsc within the last forty-eight
hours. Supplies now here would feed one
hundred thousand troops q whole year
Much confusion has prevailed heretofore, in
the subsistence department but matters are
now rapidly brought into Eork king order.
-Four hundred unmounted cavalry arrived
this afternoon. They marched through Ma
rTland, from the Pennsylvania line, without
being the least molested.
Thos. 2. Meagher, the Irish patriot reach
ed here last night. he is attached to the
69th Regiment, the band OF which escorted
him to quarters.

KNTGHTED.-We were shown q diploma,
signed by the President and Secretary Of the
Royal Central Acclimation Society of Ger
many, located at Berlin, Prussia, eonferring
full mem mbership with the title of Knight
hood on our friend and fellow citizen, John
II. Klippart, Corresponding Secretary of the
Ohio State Board OF Agrieulture. This is an
honor conferred upon merit alone, and is
reliable exponent Of the estimation in which
Klippart's talent and ability is held in the
Old World, and especially by that hypercrit-
ical race Of Scientific investigators, the
Northern Germans.
In q letter from the Secretary Of the Ber-
lin SOcietyi accompanying the Diploma, he
says:
sour chief object heretofore has been to
determine the best method Tor successfully
cultivsting and acclamating exotic plants,
whether for economic or ornamental pur-
poses. To further this purpose, his Majesty
the King of Prussia, donated to this Society
tract Of land for experimental purposes
Our efforts up to this period have been
crowned with the most gratifying results
Having carefully read your excellent treat
les on the Wheat Plant and other articles
discussing the physiology of plants belieV
ing from this that you have familiarized
yourself with the subject, and sympathize
with our endeavors, have taken the priVi-
lege Of presenting your name for full mem
bership in onr Society now have the hon
or to advise you that on the 14th Of Novem-
Der, 1860, your name was inscribed upon our
Register Of members, with the title of Knight
hood, by which title you will in the fu-
ture be addressed by the officers Of this So
ciety.
trust this will meet your appreciation,
and that you will cheerfully cooperate with
Us, &C., L. BU0RY, Phi. D.,
Secretary"
We do not consider it amiss to speak a few
words of Mr.. Klippart personally. He has
| now been resident of this city nearly FIVE
years, and so quiet and unobtrusive has been
his department, that very few citizens are
acquainted with him. Instead Of spending
his time in discussing political and other
transient topics, be has been steadily devOt-
ing his time to familiarize himself with Ag-
ricultural literature. He is good German
and French as we'll as English scholar
This is fully manifest in his work on the
"Wheat Plant" and his ''Principles and
| Practice of Land Drainage" as well as in
his regular Annual Reperts."- Columbus
| Gazette.
Mr.. Klippart was formerly connected with
the Leader as one of its Editors. He is q
! gentleman of marked ability and is fully
deserving of the honor conferred upon
him.

LATEST NEWS.
On Last Nlrhps DIspatehes.

It. is reported that the Southern rebels have
asked an armistics i0r sixty days. They
may ask, but they will not receive. The trick
is too transparent the object being to pre-
vent hostiIities until the disbanding of the
$4,000 three months Yoluteers. The gov
ernment viii not treat with rebels, and there
can be no cessation of hOstilides until the in
surgents lay down their arms and return to
their allegiance.
The Maryland Legislature has endorsed
the resolutions of the Committee on Federal
Relations Heensuring President Lincoln and
applauding the Southern COnfederacy." 1t
is to be hoped the President will survive.
Governor Jackson of Missouri in imitation
of the Baltimore authorities, has committed
"the overt act by destroying portion Of
one of the bridges on the railroad between St.
Louis and Jefferson eiEy, for the purpose Of
preventing the transit of Fedeial troops
HOW like are the acts of traitors everywhere.
Who can now doubt that the secessionists Of
the entire South-in the still nominaIly loyal
as well as the seeded StAtes-are in concert
and act with common design2 Gov. Jack
son and his traitorous Legislators should be
dealt with the same as rebels in arms against
the government.
An immense Union demonstration was
made OF Wheeling on Saturday night, the oc-
casiOn being serenade to several delegates
to the Union Convention, which is to con-
vene to-day. Eloquent speeches were made
by Messrs Pierpont Brown, and that un-
Hinching champion of the Union in the Vir-
ginia State Convention, John s. Carlisle
Devotion to the Union and unyielding oppo-
sition to JEFF. Davis usurpation were ex-
pressed. Twenty-Five or thirty counties are
expected to be represented in the Union Con.
ventiOn. All hail to Wheeling and Western
Virginia.
Again has St. Louis been the scene of a
terrible outbreak, resulting from iud:gnities
offered to the Federal volunteers. When
will rebelliOus mobs learn the folly of med
ding with loyal troops7
Scouts from the Relay House have been
fred upon by Virginians, and an attack on
that post is expected. Reintorcements have
been sent there, and a warm reception will
be given the rebels.
Our dispatches are;all Of surprising inter
est and we refer the reader to the tele-
graphic columns.

MAY.



Soft signing breezes fan my brow
From out the orchard trees,
The blooms are bright on every bough,
And, 'mongst the blooms, the bees
Fill, with = sweet and dreamy tune,
The murm'ring of the breeze,
The swallow fits, on joyous wing,
The village spires among;
Down, meath my window, in the elm
The robin feeds her young;
Aud pOurs the lark, far mp On high,
His woRted morning song.
The hocks along the distant hills,
The herds along the streams,
Frisk, in the early pastures there,
Or lost in geutle dreams,
Meath ali tine golden glory lie,
OF Soils delightful beams.
OF all the May is rich, with life,
With sweet delicious life
The heart pressed down with gnawing cares
Or crushed in bitter strife,
Springs up again, beneath the May,
With strength and gladness rife.

A FINE YEssEL.-The new barque Levi
RawsOn, now lying at the ship yard of
Quayle & Martin, and receiving her finish
ing touches, has excited considerable atten-
tion among shipping men for the excellence
of her build and appointments, in which,
taken as whole, she is perhaps superior to
anything on the Lakes.
The Rawson was built by VIM. Jones of
Black River, and is owned by Capt. G. W.
Jones. She is constructed entirely of the
best selected material. Her dimensions are
as follows: Length, 145 IO-IOO; beam, 80
12-lOOj depth hold, II 22-1OO. Her tonnage
is 47S 1895. Some of her principle features
are these: She has an aft deck and a fore.
castle deck beneath the former lies
the cabin, which is entirely above the main
deck, thus adding much to the vessels
strength, besides giving her more room il
the hold. The cabin itself is very hand
somely and conveniently fitted up, contain
ing beside the captains and mates state
rooms, two extra rooms with beds, &C., as
complete as is found on steamers, and vsri-
GUS other compartments. She is steered by
VIM. Beers patent iron steering apparatus,
which is 80 arranged that in case of break
age Of the machinery, it can be applied in
three distinct ways, without difficulty. She
has an extra keelson with channel, which
gives water free passage fore aud aft, 50 that
in case of leakage it is not necessary tc
move cargo in order to use the pumps. A
box containing marine pump il placed in
forward part Of the ship, which connects
with ths.ohannsl. The ceiling il OF 6 inch
stuff, and is hOok-scarfsd or joined By
letting one piece into another, aad the fast
nings are driven from,the outside. She hal
from $50 to 800 knees, which is more thar
are contained by any other vessel Of hel
size on the lake. The great anchor weighs
1900 and the small one LOO pounds; the
former is held by TX inch chain, 90 faith
oms in length.
The Rawson viii probable leave on an up
lake trip to-day. She is commanded By
Capt. Vaedsr, and is equal TO ocean craft il
strength aud completeness. Something gOOC
in the way OF speed is also expected from
her.

AMOUNT OF LEAD SHOT AWAY TO EVERY
MAN KILLED.-A friend writing from New
York city, says that at a meeting lately held
at the Cooper Institute, DR.. Church, in ad-
dressing the audience upon the mortality in
cidsns to war, said, as is often repeated, that
disease and exposure constituted the great
causes of death among the soldiers, giving
as proof that careful statistics had been OBJ
tanned in the Crimea and elsewhere OF the
amount of metal employed and the number
Of killed and wounded, and it was accurately
ascertained "that 80 pounds of lead were
shot away to every man killed" What a

tect themselves against disease and expo

THK U. s. SrHAMHR M1oHIGAH.-The Erie
Gazette says: " The United States steamer
Michigan, lying at this port, has not yet
been directed by the Department to start out
on her ordinary cruising expeditions. She
is now anchored in the bay, and will, il is
said, leave on a short trip within few days.
It is surmised, however, that she may be
laid up for the season, and her officers and
crew ordered to active service at some other
point. As the Michigan is well adapted to
blOckading purposes, it is to be regretted
that she cannot be taken from the lakes,
through the Welland Canal, to the sea
ports"

MILITARY MATTERS.
nErURN on CAPTAIN PADDOCK.

Capt. Paddock, of the Grays, returned to
the city on Saturday evening from Phila-
delphia, being called homo by pressing bu-
siness. He looks in excellent health, albeit
little bronzed by exposure, and reports his
command in fine condition and spirits. An
eager knot of friends surrounded him on Sat
nrday evening, anxious to hear the latest
news from the Grays, and the Captain did q
very brisk business in the way ofanswering
questions for an hour or so.
He WI return to Philadelphia on Tuesday
evening, and will be happy to convey any
articles or packages for those who may wish
To send.
