Another AbOlitiOniSt Rebuked.

Rev. Samuel Aaron, Baptist preacher,
of Mount Holly, n. j., attempted to deliver
an abolition lecture at the City Hall, in Bur-
iington, N. j., on Thursday evening last
He commenced by dcnouncing the Admins
tration, and the manner in which the war
was conducted, when the crowd commenced
Kissing and pelting him with eggs. The
ladies in the audience rushed to the windows
to escape, whilst the crowd cried out, "kill
him." "tar and feather him." etc. The
Mayor of the city was present and endea-
vored to stop the confusion, but did not sue
coed. Finally Mr.. Aaron withdrew, and was
taken away by his friends. AS far as known
no one was injured.
Those who have laborcd SO strcnuously to
misrepresent the sentiments OF the great
mass of the Northern people, will, we doubt
not, soon be forced to undo the SANDER, that
Republicans and Abolitionists are Identical

The Fertilization at the Rip Raps

The recent order of Mr.. Secretary Star
ton changing the name of the important
work at the Rip Raps calls to mind the fact
that an excellent one was suggested long ago
by citizen of Virginia, and for reasons so
good that it is worth while to quote the fol-
lowing passage from Joseph Martins De-
scription of Virginia, published i'll 1884 or So
at is a circumstance worth notice that
the material for the structure of the Castle
of the Rip Raps is drawn from most Of the
commercial States Of the Union In walking
over the piles you behold the dark grey
granite of Maine, the whitish blue and
black speckled granite of Connecticut, the
red frecstonc of the same State the pied
granite of the Susquehanna, the deep blue
of the Little Falls of Potomac and the ash
colored of the James river.
"In this cdifce. which is to form a strong
hold, in central position, defend our great
naval depot, and to protect our naval power
over the ocean, and especially to afford
place of refuge to the commerce of the ma
ton, each commercial State may point to a
portion of the blended strength which it has
contributed to the common structure. The
Castle at the Rip Raps should then be called
as well from its use as from its origin, the
Castle Of tie FEDERAL UNION; and when
attacked by foreign or domestic assailants, it
should run up with the ensign of the Fede-
raj Union the watchword, ii mast be pre-
serred'"

Opening Of the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad.

Tuesday, the first day of April, marked
another important era in the history Of this
great and indispensable thoroughfare. Ever
since the month of May last, travel upon it
from the city of Baltimore has been sus-
pended owing to the wanton deeds OF Van
dalism perpetrated by those in rebellion
against civilization and popular government.
On that day our citizens were gladdened by
the arrival of the first through passenger
train, consisting of a handsome locomotive
and several new and commodious cars. As
the train-from which foated the stars and
stripes, the emblem of progress and liberty
--glded gaily along, the black and ruined
fragments of once valuable rolling stock
which lines the road, formed a contrast at
orcc impressive and suggestive.

Plain Talk Of a Loyal TenneSSean.

Parson Brownlow, Of East Tennessee, OF
whose persecution and the patriotic endu-
rance with which he has borne them, we
have from time to time acquainted our read
ers, arrived at Cincinnati on Friday last. lie
was very cordially welcomed as one of the
old time, Jacksonian Tennesseans, of whom
thousands have suffered and sacrificed for the
cause of the Union, and will ever hold out
"fghting the good fight Of faith even unto
the end.
The Rev. Mr.. Brownlow has long been
celebrated as one of the plainest writer's and
preachers of the day, as we'll as for being
one of the most sincere and fearless advo-
Gates ard defenders of whatever he believes
to DO right.
OF the remarks he made on his reception
at Cincinnati, the gist lies in the annexed
quotation
When the army went to East Tennessee
he wanted to 80 along. 1t was in Fremonts
Department and he was glad of 1t. Fremont
was his sort Of mai, and he wanted to 10
with him to East Tennessee. There had
been a great deal of banging on one side,
and he wished to supcrintend it on the other.
He could say, and without profanity, that
the Federal army in Fast Tennessee would
be hailed with a joy only equalled by the ho-
sannahs of the angels when Christ was born.
He never had any sympathy with Disun-
ionists, Secessionists or Aboltionists. lie
was born in Virginia, and his parents before
him. He is a shareholder, but lie had no
hesitancy IN saying that ,chen the question
come, as ii ,ciU, "Me Union and no slarery,"
against "slare,y and no Union," he ,oas for
the Union and let Slavery 90 to the dogs, or
nhere else ii may be sent lie ,pas for the
Union, ADORE that or any other institution.
The wicked rebellion, he felt confident,
was on its last legs 1t is almost played out.
When the rebel Crittenden's army passed
him, the men were literally barcfooted and
almost naked.
The blockade has played sad havoc with
them. They were preparing to make des-
perate fight at Corinth. If whipped there
their cause was gone. He hoped they would
be pursued through the cotton States to the
peninsula, and then driven into the sea, as
were the devils driven from the hogs into
the sea of Gallilee. -
The niger never was in this rebellion.
He was never intended to be. Other causes
had produced it, but the guilty were reaping
their reward Ir.

We would be pleased to sec every day of
the year as busy as the first of April. The
town on that day wore bustling aspect ;
everything on the move, and every body in
hurry; j. seemed as if new life had been
instilled into some of our citizens. Nearly
all the two and four-wheeed vehicles that
was capable of bearing respectable load of
household furniture, etc., were brought into
requisition. And added to this our mer-
chants received large quantity of goods,
which were shipped from the east, and
arrived here by rail on the night of the 3lst

boxes and bales were tossed about in grace
full confusion. The Second Regiment P. H.
j. were also moving from their quarters in

sKlRMIsH NEAR CHAIN BRIDGE.
On Saturday afternoon a detachment
of Stewards Virginia Cavalry made a
dash at the residence of Uuion lady
named Tenant, who lives about a mile
and half from Difficult creek, and a.
bout six miles from the Chain Bridge.
While engaged in ransacking and pill
Laying the residence of Mrs. Tenant,
they were discovered by portion of
Colonel Bayard's Pennsylvania Cavalry,
who at once charged down upon them,
when quite smart engagement ensued,
which resulted in the hasty fight of the
rebel cavalry, but not before they had
secured Mrs. Tenant and her daughter
whom they conveyed away in Mrs. Ten
nant's buggy, into which they had pre-
viously harnessed the horse for that pur-
pose.
Mrs. Tenant has lost husband and
son, who died fighting for our flag, and
now herself and daughter will have to
suffer the horrors of Richmond's loath-
some prisons and the insults of rebel
soldiers, while their remaining property
is exposed to all the devastations of
war.

WaySide Reflections.

On one OF the very delightful days of last
week we took short stroll down the tow
path of the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal, for
plea SAINT weather has been an entire stranger
in these parts since the new year commenced.
with the exception of three or four days Of
last week. The Canal is great work, and
one from which a large number of our citi-
zens derive great benefit during the summer
months. 1t gives numbers employment, and
also keeps large amount Of capital in cir
culation in our county.
For what is so handy
As dollar or two.
We are not aware of its benefits until we
are deprived of its use, and then we begin
to realize the advantages accruing from it.
We noticed as we passed along things which
pleased and others which displcased us.
First, what we were happy to see was the
activity in several of the boat yards; the
sounds that came from the workmen's tools
were welcome to our ears; it seemed as if
old times had once more visited us, and in
tended to mako amends for the loss which
our county has felt for some months past,
and as we are one of the mediums through
which our country speaks we are well aware
that revival of work in our boat yards,
and resumption Of navigation on the Canal
will be hailed with delight by its citizens.
Now we will give what displeased us.
We had not proceeded very far before the
shrill whistle of the iron-horse was heard,
and in casting our eyes above we beheld the
monster as of yore, at good speed, with
lengthy train attached but how different
was the looks Of the train to former days;
instead of being ladcncd with merchandise
from the far West and other points, gondoa
after gondola was filled with the ruins of
coal-hopper cars and their running gears,
fragments from the wanton wreck of rail-
road property in the vicinity of Martinsburg,
which had been destroyed by the rebels from
Dixie, whose cry is "let us alone" And
too true is it, that we have some in our COM
munity who not only sympathizc with these
arch traitors of their native and adopted
but have secretly aided in contribu-
ting men and means to swell their ranks.
