RAILWAYS in China.

The rice fields of China, like the jungles
Of India, will soon echo the snort of the To-
comotive engine The same mastery mind
which has achieved such successes in open
ing the British East India possessions to
commerce and civilization, through the in
strumentaity Of modern railway improve
ments, proposes to wake up the sleepy fol
lowers Of Confuscius ly the use Of similar
means. Sir Macdonald Stephenson is now
in China to see what can be done in this
respect.
Besides the commercial advantages real
lied by India since the introduction of rail
ways, no influence has been more potential
in eradicating prejudices, abolishing caste,
bigotry and ignorance.
The railway, therefore, is great mora
engine, and its advent into the Celestial
empire will be hailed by every friend of en-
lightened civilization. The natural Difficult
ties, though perhaps greater than in India,
are not insurmountablc. Railway enter,
prise, moreover, will be favored to an ex-
traordinary degree by the cheapnes Of Labor
in China, and it is even surmiscd that au
extensive opening for remuncrative employ.
mcnt would exert a powerful influence in
restoring the country to order by atfording
means Of subsistence to many who now
join the rebel armies or live by plunder.

Missing

The loss which an army incurs in n battle
is usually comprised in these terms-killed,
wounded and missing. The latter includes
not only those who, are taken prisoners,
but those who, heart-sick and horror stricken
with the carnage which they have Witnessed
run away--not so much through personal
fear or cowardice us through nervous pros
tration and inability for them to endure the
spectacles ofdeath and every variery of tor
ture with which battlefield abounds
These men are not usually punished as de-
serters, but are picked up by the army po-
lice and driven back to their several com
mands broken and prostrated; or impellcd
by destitution or fear, stragglc in of their
own accord. Pitilul spectacles they are,
and, in most cases, worthless for future
service. But the stern discipline of an ar,
my does not permit Of their discharge.
They remain, but ncomparatively few cases
ever become again reliable soldiers. Affect,
ed more easily afterwam than at first, they
either rush forward and throw away theil
lives in blind desperation, or repeat the es
capadc, are branded as towards, and sink
under mental and corresponding physica
weakness and disease. Cincinnati Eng

Decided for Thanksgiving.

The New York Erening Post of Thurs
day, informs its readers that " so far from
being discouraged, we have cause for graf
itude to God for his blessing in the last two
cventitul weeks, and for entire confidence
in the results of General Grants opera
tions.
This decides the question raised by Mr..
Lincoln in his last proclamation to the pious
not the bogus one, but the genuine That
document it will be remembered left the
question of victory and defeat undecided; and
called ON the people to be jubilant in cause
Of the one and supplicatory in cause Of the
other

of fighting, that God is on the side Of the
North, This is enough, and indeed more
than enough for we can put down the re,
belion, provided he remains neutral a.

StaatOn's Dispatches.

Secretary Stanton's dispatches hay,
proved more unreliable than the rumor
from the agents Of the associated press
1t is pretty hard time on truth when GOV
ernment officers telegraph unblushing false
hoods to the people. On this subject the
Cleveland Plain Dcaier says:
It's needless to observe that news is dol
ed out to Us in batch of confused lrng.
ments, the only effect of which is to OBJ
scure the truth and prevent any one from
forming a correct Judgment rs to the mill
tary position. We must say, however
that if we are to choose between the oilicia
statements made by Stanton, and tho nc
counts Of newspaper correspondents, W,
should unhesitatingIy take the latter, Ev
er since Stanton published that Lee was il

House, aud Hancock after him, we hav,
read his dispatches just as we would rca,

ventures of Lemuel Gulliver, as merely On

j. f. WmrpLE, halter doing bust
ness in New York, was sworn before COM
mittec to inquire into the contracts of the
Government, and detailed transaction
with General BUTLER and his staff. Mr..

and caps, He says:
General Butler took sample in his
hand and came up to me and asked me the
price. told him fifteen dollars per dozen,
five per cent. off for cash in hand. The
General said, Now the question is this,
and we might as well talk it right out-can

Last Joke by old Abe.

Honest Old Abe has given Fremont,
his chief Presidential rival an unhandsome
cognomch which is likely to stick to him
for years to come. The story is thus told
in letter addressed by Elizur Wright to a
Boston paper:
After the retirement Of Fremont, | was
present at conversation with the Presi-
dent, when he was urged to place Fremont
in active service, either i'll thcrcmotc South,
with view to making the most Of colored
troops, or to replace Stanley, the roactive
military Governor of North Carolina. The
President expressed the highest respect iol
the character, talents, and patriotism oI
General Fremont, gave not the slightest
hint that he looked upon his military ca
rcer as failure, though he had just bcel
lauded before him, and stated as the sol,
reason for not giving him command suita
bic to the rank of his commission, that h,
was "bcspattcrcd reformcr." The latter
are the exact words he used Every body
knows what they meant, and where thu
mud came from that made the reiormer s.
unacceptable to Mrs. Grundy, of the Bor
der States. Is it not nearly time for tn
same reason that sent Fremont out Of ser
vice to send him in again?
1t was these contcmptuous epithets whicl
has doubtless stung Fremont into open or
position to the Lincoln dynasty. The 'bc
: spattorcd rcformcr" is trying to split hi
railcr.

Beastly Conduct.

We are told by friend who lately made
trip to St Louis by rail, that on the Chi
cago and st. Louis road, on his passage
down, an outrage took place almost too bru-
tai to be believed. Some twenty-five or
thirty soldiers were seated in the car in
which were four or FIVE citizens and young
woman. Soon after the train left Blooming
ton the soldiers began to take improper lib
critics with the girl, which she repelled as
much AS possible, At The first station be-
low Bloomington, the conductor succeeded
in getting her off the cars, but one Of the
soldiers went of with her, and waiting un-
I'll the train started, lifted her ON board
again, and taking her on his lap, proceed
ed to expose her per,on in the most indie
cent manner, and conducting in such a
beastly manner as wholly to preclude the
possibility of rectalof the acts. In these
actions he was joined by several other sol
diers. The conductot did not dare to re-
monstrate, and Mapr and Captain, who
were present. and Witnessed the disgraceful
conduct, did not seen TO think it was their
duty TO interfere. This conduct continued
until the train arrived at Springfield, where
the soldiers and theii victim left. Peorio

perpetrated bogus proclamation with "a.

nation called for 400, 900 men, to bc drafted

volunteering; also required II smart chance
of praying, to commence to-day. 1t was 50

thereupon the Government" took posses

removed after day or two through the
tender mcrcies of the Government.

The Private Soldier.

Somebody says, and we indorsc the sen
timent, that if there is being in the world
who is deserving of private affection and
public gratitude, it is the soldier who mar
ches as private in the ranks of the army,
to fight for his country, offers his blood and
life as sacrifice for the maintenance Of the
Union and the Constitution. And yet how
seldom it is that they get the honor and re-
ward their services cntitlc them to. 1t is
the private who carries the gun; it is the
private who marches ON foot through mud,
frost aud snow; it is the private who erects
bridges over swift streams, and rears the
lofty Notifications; and it is the private
who, with the bayonet set, charges on the
deadly rifle pits and against the squared
columns of the enemy; and yet how seldom
it is that he receives the honors and rewards
of his noble conduct. -. Statesman.

Localities and Distances Of the
Campaign.

The Wilderness, west of Chancellorville,
is, on an air line, ffty-fye miles from Rich.
mond, and is the same distance from Wash
ngton. Germania Ford is exactly sixty
miles from Richmond, and so is Orange
Court House. BY a straight line, Harri
sons Point, on the James river, is twenty
miles from Richmond, and City Point sew
entcen Hicksford for which place a
strong column is said to have left the south
side Of the James, is sixty miles south OF
Richmond, and the bridge there, which it is
expected will be destroyed, is over the Me-
herrin. Fort Darling is eight miles below
Richmond, on the James River.
Spottsylvania Court House, mentioned in
the dispatches from the seat of war in Vir-
gina, is the county seat Of Spottsylvania
county. 1t is a village of less than two
hundred resident inhabitants, situated be
tween the Po and the Ia rivers, branches of
the Mattapony. 1t is twenty-five miles cast
of Orange Court House, about fourteen
Mules south cast Of fredericksburg and, by
the course of the roads, sixty-five miles
north northwest Of Richmond.

We have little envy for the man who
could read without a tear the melancholy
tragedy of love and death recently enacted
in Charleston. The daughter of ex-Gov.
Pickens, who had long devoted herself to
the alleviation of the miseries made by
this cursed war; aud leaving ease and luxu-
ry to those who could enjoy them, passed
her days and nights in ministering to the
sick and wounded in the hospitals, yielded
at length to that fond weakness which is
woman's chiefest strength; and was allian-
ced to an officer of Hugenot descent, whose
sick bed She had tended. They were at the
altar, and the surpliced priest had just be
gan the sacred formula, which was to make
them one forever, when a bombshel from
our feet burst through the roof, wounded
many Of the company, and laid the fail
young bride bleeding, dying corpse beside
the feet of her betrothed. What pen can
paint the agonies Of father, mother, bride
groom at that fearful moment ? She had
yet two hours to live; and the sad ceremony
was concluded while the life blood weled
from her true heart, and stained her bridal
robe. She tried to smile upon her husband
as she gasped her answers. in the service
promising to be a true wife ''tll death dc
us part" and breathed her last amid the
sobs and wailings that could scarcely drown
the curses, low but deep, that showered up
on her murderers.

a Horned woman.

Somebody who has seen the whereof he
speaks writes from Larnaca, in Cyprus
TO the New York Observer, an elaborate
account Of woman living at Lividia, in
Cyprus, who has horns growing out Of her
head.
81 ut once" says he, dispatched Sc
cret agent, and succeeded after II few days
in obtaining n sight of this most wonderful
cornigerous creature. She told me, rtrd
roce, that she had suffered greatly from this
ailliction, and would never have revealed
it, but for vision she had lately, when an
old man with long flowing beard and silvcry
hair presented himself to her, leaning ON a
crutch, and warned her not to conceal it
longcr--that it was from God apo ton
Thcou, and that lie would aitlict her even
more if she concealed it any longer. She
at once confessed to the priest and then
revealed her mysterious condition. She
has one horn on the side of her head three
or four inches long, and an inch in circum-
1 ference, besides three or four cornces on
I other parts of the head one of which she
says she broke off. 1t is now in possession
Of the French doctor Of this place. These
horns are attached to the skin of the head,
and not to the bone, resembling in texture
and appearance the horns Of a goat--not the
silver horn of the Druze woman, but ~
much part Of her as her hair or head,
She has been visited by nearly all the con-
sulS and Europeans in this place, some OF
whom are making an effort TO secure her
for exhibition in Europe
Another letter to n gentleman of New
York says that one of the horns ''is equal
in size to an ordinary rams horn" The
