Damage to the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
by the Rebels.

BALTIMORE, May 2.
We are now able to report positively that
the crisis is past with the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad. The Conlederates have left it, NOV
ing Southwark, and our military forces in
great strength are following and endeavoring
to intercept them. The extent of the injury
done to the road is now known. The line is
intact from Monongahela River. 800 miles dis
tant, to Baltimore. The damage to the main
stem is confined TO the large iron bridge one
mile east of Paramount, and TO five unimpor-
toni bridges within 80 miles west of it, Three
bridges on the Parkersburg branch. within 20
miles of Grafton, were also destroyed. The
track is unimpaired except at these bridges.
The telegraph lines are all fully restored and
in use. The bridges will all be renewed within
five days, temporarily but effectively. 1t is
expected that the regular passenger trains will
be resumed on Monday next, and freight trains
also. The passengers and freight will possibly
have to be transferred for two or three days at
the Monongahela bridge. 1t is thought that
the Parkersburg line can be put into full order
by Tuesday or Wednesday next.

George Washington.
NEW YORK, May 2

First in war first in peace and first in the hearts
of his countrymen.
ave notice going the rounds of the newspa-
pers short article, containing among other
eulogistic sayings on Washington, the above,
an error, for these memorable words were first
uttered by Maj. Gen. Henry Lee, a member of
Congress from Virginia, by whom the eulogy
on Washington before the two houses of Con-
gress, was delivered.
We have before US an edition of the Eulogies
and Addresses delivered on the Death of Geo.
Washington, published by w. p. & L. Blake
and Manning & Lowering, Nos. | and Corn
hill, Boston, in 1900. 1t embraces eulogies
and orations by Hon. John Brooks, Fisher
Ames, Timothy Bigelow, &c, &c, with one
delivered in Portland by the Hon. Isaac Park
er; two Masonic eulogies and one discourse
by the Rev. John Thornton Kirkland, of Bos-
ton. Also eulogy by Thomas Paine, A. NJ,
delivered in the First Presbyterian Church,
Newburyport, Jan. 81, 1900.
The eulogy of Gen. Lee was delivered before
both houses of Congress, &C., Dec. 20, 1893,
Wihie the Lie OF washington, by John Mar
shall, was first published in Philadelphia, in
1904. The following extract from the closing
part of Gen. Lees eulogy contains the familiar
words above quoted; which are repeated by
Paine in his address, and given there as quo
tation in italics:
First in war, first in peace, and first i'm the
hearts of his countrymen, he was second to
none in the humble and endearing scenes of
private life. Pious, just, humane, temperate
and sincere; uniform, dignified and command
ing, his example was a. edifying to all around
him, as were the effects of that example last
ing. To his equals he was condescendng, to
his interiors kind, and TO the dear object of his
affections exemplarly tender. Correct through
out, vice shuddered in his presence, and virtue
always felt his fostering hand. The purity of
his private character gave effulgence to his
public virtues.
