Coming Down Again.

A New York paper says the decline IN
gold continues to smash the merchandise
and Secesh spectators, and many fortunes
have faded away in a day. Cotton goods
have declined 25 per cent. Tea is off lO
cents, and other groceries also are falling.
Cotton could not be sold to-day TO any
extent above SIS cents. Indeed all pro-.
duce and merchaadize markets are at .
st.nd, waiting the turn of gold. Just the
reverse, this, Of the Richmond market,
where prices are advancing rapidly,
measured by deprecated Rebel currency.

The River of Death is beautiful stream:
{ Its waters TOW camly-its silvery CLEAN
Excrls the bright gaze of the sun.
And this is the song that welcome the throng:
Enter in, faithful servants; we'll DONE"
The River of Death Is hoped for stream:
To the pure, its waters most musical seem,
But flowing to bear them TO God.
Where golden oars dash. with a trsmulous plssh,
And freighted barks glide from the sod.
The River Of Death is a hoped for strusm.
Whose waters arouse from Lif-'s turbulent stream,
And bear to the haven of rest:
Where soft winds that blow weafiness know,
Ever kissing the wings of the Blest.
The River Of Death il = lonsei-for stream
To the faithful and true, no trustingy deem
That the loved, who have gone before,
Are waiting To press the transmitting caress
On the newcomers treading the shore.
The River ofDeath is a radieut stream,
Where the rainbow of Joy sheds permanent beam;
where fal-ehocd and wrong, where doubt and fears,
Lie stricken aud dumb, nor come
From the grave mold Of ty gone years.
The River of Death IA a consccrat- stream:
On It's sweet flowing tide long to redeem
The sweet treasures lost in the Past:
The love that is dead-the tears that shed
For the weary souls, resting at last.
lEolian tones from wings are breathing:
Fragrant immortals the angels wreathn8
To crown the loved ones the shore;
No sorrow-nr care; the Beautiful there
Love blending with love evermore.

The ignorant and reckless persons in
Noble county, Ohio, who conspired to
resist the military authorities in the
arrest Of deserters, and organized for
that purpose, fled before the troops sent
to enforce law and order, without waiting
to see the bayonet, and are now hiding
themselves. They talked very de6autly
until they saw the authorities we're in
earnest, but shrank from the overt act
of crime they had contemplated. So it
will be elsewhere. 1t is happy circum-
stance that this speck Of civil war in Ohio
has passed away without the shedding Of .
drop of blood.

Report Of the President and Direc
tors of Northern Central r. R.

The eighth annual report Of TIE North
ern Central Railroad Company has just
been submitted BY the President, J. ID.
Cameron. The report shows the road to
be in healthy and improving condition.
The treasurer's report shows that the
gross earnings of the road during the past
year to have been $l,920,640 81; ex-
pense-, S993,299 So; net revenue,
1927 ,3il %. The revenue has been
appropriated as follows: To the payment
of annual interest on funded debt, $685.
400 balance interest due State of Mary
laud, sllS,S67 IS; purchase Of 0 fri hit
engines, $9l ,35O-leaviug in the treas
ury a balsrce Of S2S7 ,622 55. The
report further states that the board are
purchasing the right Of way for the in.
tended extenson to Canton, and expect to
put the work under contract BY the FIRST
Of April ensuing. The freight upon the
road having SO largely increased, the
board, have found it necessary to put
down double track for the accommoda.
tion of the cars as far as the Relay House,
and contemplate its speedy continuance to
Glenrock Station, distance of forty three
miles from the city of Baltimore. A
number of first class passenger cars have
been pu, upon the road, and others have
been contracted for, and will soon be
ready for use. The prospect now is that
this road will soon become what its friends
have ever claimed for it, one Of the leading
arteries of usefulness and prosperity to our
city.
The Northern Central road have CON-
pleted its connection with some of the
richest coal regions of the State, will at
once command an immense tonnage. An
increased travel is also passing over it
from the east, so that we can fairly con-
gratulate the management, not only on its
pass success. but the still greater success
which the future operations Of the road
will achieve.

Gen. Hslleck, 10 his address to Gen
Rosecrans, giving him instructions how tc
treat the loyal and disloyal who are OF
may come within the sphere Of his militia
ry authority, says: "a broad line Of dis
tinction must be drawn between friends
and enemies-tbe loyal and disloyal." "
But is there not also an equal or even a
greater necessity for the drawing of ga
broad line of distinction between the loyal
and disloyal," here in the North We
think that the time has come in which
there is 40 imperative necessity for US to
know who are the friends Of the Govern
meut, and who are its enemies. Its enc
mics are those who fac:iOusly oppose its
constituted authorities. We must insti.
tute q test; and We can conceive of no
better one, than the formation of Union
Leagues. The Bible tells us that once,
when . rebel faction arose among the
children of Israel, Moses instituted test !;
between the loyal to God and the disloyal,
by prcclaiming to them that whoever was
on the Lords side should make it known
BY coming over to him.
Some Of the friends Of the Government
apply the epithet "CopperLead" to those
who, under the mask Of loyalty, are de-
oieviDg the people, and doing much
mischief. Up to this time We not had not
seen the force and significance of this
epithet, as applied to them. But con,em.
plating the necessity Of Union leagues,
We have been led to see in those persons,
some striking characteristics of the creature
whose name is applied to them. But, if
now, ga broad line Of distinction be drawn,
then that condition of things which gave
rise to this epithet will cease to exist
then they can no longer exhibit the char
acteristics of the venomous creature whose
name they bear. A soldier in the ar my,
writing to . friend here in the North,
says: "Drive them South, or hang them
they should not escape. If they were
South, We could whip them and the Rebels
army sooner, by far, than having them
10 the North, discouragiug men who are
now in the field fighting for their country"
Let us tben-the truly loyal, of all former
parties-uuite as one man, (discarding all
other consideratious,) upon the platform
Of loyalty to the Government in its mea.
sures to crush out this Rebellion-to crush
it out in tho shortest time possible, and by
the most effectual means in its power.

as follows:
"Much has been said about the De.
mocracy. When be was told that a man

There we're two kinds of Democrats. JEFF.
ferson was Democrat and Vice President
Aaron Burr was . Democrat inside the
same organization. jackson was demo.
crat and Calhoun was a member of the
