A quarter of a million OF persons
turned out in the streets of New York
to welcome with rspturous acclaim, an
Insignificant Irishman, who is only
Known to fame as having been taken
prise ner at Bull Run, because he could
not run away fast enough. This very
absurd perron is go pufed up by his
reception that he makes speech to the
mob, promising Tat, soon as the pre-
sent little business is settled his high
mightiness will tarn his attention to the
"del,verance of Ireland" Of course in
such case, we should hardly think it
necessary to turn out a file Of police

Death of Rev. Doctor Woods.

At meeting of the Elders and Trustees of
the Presbyterian church of Lew;stovn held
July 4th, 1862, it was
Resotced, lst. That in the death of the Rev.
JAMES .. WOODS, ID. d., who died on the 29th
ult:' at his residence in this place, the congre.
gauon have In the providence of Him who
uoetn all things right, been deprived of the
services OF faithful and able minister of the
church OF Christ, of beloved pastor. and the
community IN which he resided for forty years
of kind and sympathizing neigbbor and
friend, and an upright citizen.
Resolced, I'd, That the large attendance of
ministers and people of the Presbyterian and
other churches, of all denominations, to take
part IN and witness the burial of this venera.
TED and venerable minister of the eospel of
the great Redeemer, gives assurance that he
was a good man, and an efficient bisbop in
the church. N
ReS0tced, Sd, That the loss to his conprega.
ton and the church by his removal to the 1p.
per sanctuary, as we'll as to the community
IN which he so long lived and actively enon.
geo IN every public enterprise which in bis
estimation tended to public and private well
tare IN religious, educational and benevolent t
institutions, is now deplored, and may be more
hereafter.
Fesotred, 4th, That for ourselves, and on
oehalt OF the congregation, we hereby tender
our sincere coincidence to the family of their
deceased father and our friend and pray the
Uod OF our fathers that he may graciously
remember us in this severe aft!ictioa.
ReaoiOed, 5th, That copies of the foregoing
resolutions be furnished to the family of the
deceased, and to the Presbyterian, and Pres.
byterian Banner, and the newspapers of tho
county for publication. and recorded in the
church.book. L. Z. BANKS, Chairman.

conduct that had it not been for the manv
other diversified and imperative claims on
my time and attention, mitch more salts
factory result might have been hoped for,
and IN place of only one, as at present. at
least FIVE or six well drilled. brave and
thoroughly acclimated regiments should bv
this time have been added to the IovaI
forces OF the Union. The experiment of
arming blacks, so far as I have made il
has been complete, and even marvellous
success.
They are sober, docile, attentive and
enthusiastic, displaying great natural ca
paclties for acquiring the duties of SOL
dier. They are eager beyond all things to
take the field and be led into action and
it is the unanimous opinion of the officers.
who have had charge of them that in the
peculiarities of the climate and country,
they will prove invaluable auxiliaries, full
ly equal to the similar regiments SO long
and successfully used by the British au. =
thorities in the West India Islands.
In conclusion, l would say it is my only
hope, there appearing no possibility of
other endorsements, owing to the exigen-
cies of the campaign in the Peninsula, to
have organized by the end of the next fall,
and to be able to present the Government
from $4,000 to $4,000 of these hardy and
devoted soldiers.
Trusting that this letter may form part
of your answer to Mr.. Wickliffe's resolu-
tion,
! have the honor to be,

The Railroad
For the Gazette.

The title is precise enough. Every one in
the county knows which one is, to this county,
the railroad-viz the one to begin and, for a
time also, to end in Mifiin county. This Is
tile Railroad.
IF any one fact is settled this one is, that
transportation by railroad is cheaper than by
turnpike. These are the only two modes to
be considered in the present instance. If any
one refuses to accept the fact as given, the
most he can possibly say is that there are or
may be some exceptions, or else that it is not
true for short distances. In the first case one
or more exceptions are claimed. Whoever
may claim, in particular instance, an excep-
ton, thereby imposes on himself both the duty
and the burden of making out the exception
