Northern Central Railroad.

The improvements made on this road
w'hin the past two years, are probably
greater than those of any other line # a
similar length. During that time, the
company has entirely rebuilt the road
from Baltimore to Suntury, renewing the
rails and cross ties, aud ballasting with
broken stone, and the entire road is rep
resented as being in much better conli.
tion than at any former period of existence.
A double track has been laid between Bal
timore aud Cockey ysville, which is now in
daily use and which is being extended to
the borough of York, fifty seven miles
from Baltimore, the grading aud ballast
ing being nearly completed, ard the lay
ing Of the rails already commenced. TIE
double track from D4uphin TO Sudbury,
forty five miles, rendered necessary by the
recent opening of the Philadelphia and
Erie Railroad, is also under contract, and
is being pushed towards completion as
rapidly as a work of such magnitude can
be. The Rebel raids upon this railway
In 1868 and 1864, destroyed thirty four
bridges, all of which have been rebuilt in
most substantial manner. The bridge over
the Susquohanua, at Dauphin, three four,hs
Of mile in length, is at present being
entirely renewed with suporstructure o:
the most approved kind, and nearly al
the timber bridges oD the road have been
replaced by permanent structures of iron
and stone. The Improvements made by
fhe company during the past year have
been indeed very extousise, aud yet all

Welcoming back the Flag.

lPAssEn two years-long weary years
Amid the traitor band
That trampled on our glorious Flag
Down in the Southern land.
! heard the shouts, rs State by State
So madly fell away
Fell as The stars from heaven shall fall
When comes the Judgment Day
Fell, as the rebel angels fell
Who lost their thrones of LIGHT,
And now the sentence dread await
To everlasting night
j saw the traitors banner rise,
Our own fag in the dust;
And whispered to my patient heart,
''Be patient, God l. Just -
saw the scornfnl rebel host
March by IN all l',eir pride;
And when | heard rir boasts my heart
Almost aithiu me lied
| saw that host come back again,
An army row no more,
But flying, scattered as the cha;f
OF autunl ; threshiDg-hnur
Then, pressing on the fleeing tlrrong,
There soon burst on my view
A column strong of riders bold,
al! clad in loyal blue.
Each Tot the stirrup firmly pressed,
i....!i flashing blade was out,
heard them shout: "Nurrah. hurrah ~
As victors only shout
But noblcr sight than flashing steel,
Than steedS or stalwart men,
saw-and oh I wcpt for joy
Ny Countrys Flag again.
Near Bunker Hill first drew breath
Then how could forget
The lessons learned 50 near the spot
With Warren's blood once wet
A woman-yet | waved my hand,
And "Welcomc welcome :" cried,
And felt, if need were, for that Elag
L freely could have died.
My dark-cyed boys were by me, and
Through all life's weary track
They never will forget the day
We SAW the flag come back.
Oh! there are many in that land
Where float the rebel .'Bars"
Who mourn the sad eclipse, yet know
That heaven still holds the Stars.
Between them and those shining worlds
The war-cloud rises black
but peace will soon the cloud dispersc,
And all the Stars come back
God speed the day for when it comes
The tears will fall ike rain,
And thousands in the South will hail
The Old Flag back again.

% Can it be that there is man of intel
tigenceaoutside of the White House and
the partisan pulpit, who has permitted
himself to be so blinded By passion and
prejudice as to believe it possible to com.
pei the South to ask for peace ON the
terms here Indicated aazIs it conceivable
bthatsa fter three years of such experience
as we have had, any of Us can be SO be-

the South yet to such straits that they

Well then, assuming as we may assume
with perfect safety, that no nan of good
sense could even hope to compel the south
to ash. for or accept peace on the basis pu t
forward IN the sine qug non by the Presi-
dent, let somebody tell what he does ex-
pect by continuing the war under present

is the proposition we desire the people to
consider. Reunion is inpossible-peace

his present place and his most recently
avowed position.
War may, sooner than we dream of,
become almost equally impossible from
the stolid imbecility of the Administra-'

quail and undecisive combats, and our Fl
napces are growing worse at an appalling
rate. So we would like to hear some man
who has faith in our leaders and their poll

are to hope for while things remain as
they are. IF the war can bring neither
peace nor reunion what good can accrue
from it,-Perhaps some body else can tell;

Look ont for Women.

Young men keep your eyes open when
you are after the women IF you bite a
naked hook you are, green. Is it a pretty
form of dress so attractive, or n pretty
face even? Flounces, boys are of no sort
of consequence. A prstty face will grow
old. Paint will wash off. The sweet
smiles of the firt will give way to the
scowls of the termagant. Another and
far different being will take the place of
the lovely goddess who smiles and eats
your candy. The coquette will not shine
in the kitchen corner, and with the once
sparkling eyes and beaming countenance
will Look daggers at you. Beware, keep
your eyes open boy, when you are after
women. If she bushes when found at
her domestic duties, be sure she is one of
the dish--ag aristocracy, little breeding
and good deal less sense. IF you marry
a girl who knows nothing but how to
commit woman slaughter on the piano,
you have the poorest piece of music ever
got up. Find one wkose mind is right,
and then pitch in. Boy, don't be hang
ing around like agsheep thief as though
you'were ashsmedto be seen in day tiaIe,
but walk up like ahchieken TO dough-
pile and ask for the Cartfofe Ike o man. 4

Substitute Brokers.

In every community there are certain
men who always endeavor to make money
out of the misfortunes of their ncighbors
by pretending to be their friends, and
thereby obtain an undue advantage while
in that dilemma. We have in our midst
few who have been driving very thri.
wing business in furnishing, buying and
selling substitutes to drafted men. We
presume such men are busy at work in
other counties in the same business, and
making large sums of money.
We have no objection to person act
ing as substitute broker, or in any ether
legal business, but to take advantage of an
unsuspecting neighbor, widow or boy,
whereby large sum of money is i'm
properly taken or Withheld from them is
quite different thing.
We have been shown an affidavit from a
party whose widowed mother has been
victimized in the sum of $50 by one of
these seE-constituted brokers', who of
course is a sterling ''patriot0 and Union
list, and in favor of prosecuting the war
"to The last man and the last dollar"
We have been requested to publish
the affidavit, but its length prevents as

SLAYERY-The abolitionists are con-

that 1t must be abolished: They say the
south. by rebellion, have forfeited all claim

North havc done that they should be rob-
