Capture Of Railroad Train by Ae Confod-
efdtes.-The Baltimore Gazette says: Nj. William
Crawford, the agent of the Philadelphia, Whining
ton, and Baltimore Railroad Company, despatched,
as usual, the mail train at 8. 40 a. m aud its pro-
gress far as Magnolia Station, twenty-five miles
from Baltimore, was telegrapncd ds all right.
Hearing nothing from the raiders on the limo Of
the road, the through express train for New York
was sent off as usual at 0 40 a. m. About ton
minutes after Us starting the telegraph cOrnmuni-
cation of the company north was interrupted, aad
there was then some apprehension in regard to tho
train. After passing Stemmer's Run the train
speed on as usual and in q short timo crossed the
Gunpowder bridge, and was approaching Magnolin
Station, when the shrill whistle called the men 10
put down tho breaks. This sudden interruption
excited the curiosity Of the passengers, many OF
whom rushed to the platforms, when to their alarm,
they discovered that the railroad buildings were on
fire, and the Place was surrounded by Confederate
cavalry. The train was stopped and surrounded
by the raiders who Immediately ordered The pas
seDgers, between two and three huudred in nun
Der, to alight, which was done very quickly, caus-
ing much alarm and CONSERVATION emong the ladies
and children. It is not known whether any bag.
gage was allowed to be taken from the train, or
whether the vauables Of the Adams Express Com
pany were saved, but as soon az the cars, some
eight or ten in number, were evacuated, they were
set on fire, the engine reversed and the flaming
mass started towards the Gunpowder BRIDGE Wherc
they were consumed, together with n large aud the
most valuable portion Of the bridge. The build
ines at Magnolia belonging to the company wero
not very extensive, although they generally con-
tained considerable produce belonging to me resi-
dents of the surrounding country.-Magnolia was
also watering station, and the destruction Of the
apnaratus will be serious loss. The burning of
,te train of cars, many (which were Of the fneEt
md most approved make, will incur q los 10 the
company of several thousand dollars.

Too Coon To BE Losr--It is said that when
Gen. Forrest, last spring, en- route from Mari
on to this city, he~was accostcd in the cars by a
loquacious lady, who took scat by his side and
addressed him in something like the following
strain, II think" said she, that all the glory that
covers our arms is due singly and alone to private
soldiers; they do the fghting-not the officers
and for my part will give them all the praise l
have beautiful home not far Distant and, as
am blessed with plenty, desire that whenever
priuate soldiers pass by my residence they should
call on me, so that may feed and otherwise cheer
them on their toisome way. l don't care wheth-
an epaulctted officer enters my house, &c, &C."
"Do you perceive" said Forrest, "that there is
contrast between my whiskers and the hair on
my head? 2"
"Yes," answered the lady, surveying the Gene
raj, Il see that your head is inclined to be gray,
while,your whiskcrs arc very black and glossy.
Can you explain why this is so?" asked the lady
''Ucrtainly M said Forrest, fixing his
keen eyes upon her ipqusitive face, "the cxplana-
ton is easy: [ work with my lead great deal,
while use my jaao as little as possible
The lady took the hint and said no more..
