How Inc Secretary OF WAR Settles
n Point.


The following anecdotc is related BY
Washington correspondent Of the New York
Evening Post, TO show how the Secretary of
War deals with a refractory railroad Presi-
dent
"The town is laughing at IN amusing
story of recent interview between the Sec
retary Of War and the President of the Bal
timore and Ohio railroad. 1t is too good
to be lost, and give it as find it aloat ::

upon the employees OF our company" I'm

lieve us, it is Hard to iorcsee the consequent
ces." Let them pay the coumu.ation."
''lmpossible tue men cant stand such q
tax" They have rich company at their
back, and that's more than other people
/ have They ought to be exempted, be-
cause they are necessary to the working OF
the road for the Government" That can't
be- Then l will stop the road "lf you

discussion is said to have been dropped at
this point, and tie worthy president is still

! This is not the first time that the screws
were put to the President of the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad Company, by a Cabinet
officer. When General Simon Cameron was
Secretary of War. and when the traitors
had carefully arranged all their plans to cap
ture Washington, asSassina:e the President
and seize the resources and power of tht

was shown by the refusal of that company
to carry soldiers, arriving in Baltimore from

The War ira Virginia.

BALTIMORE, L co. 10.
The express passenger train which left
Camden-street depot on Thursday night for
Wheeling and intermediate points, was cap
tured by company of rebels when near
KcarneysviIe depot, about eight miles west
of Harpers Ferry.
1t appears that switch had been turned
and the usual signal. the waving Of light
ed lamp, made by the raiders" as tho train
approached. The signal caused the engineer
to stop the engine. The train was then
surrounded hy the rebels, and number of
armed men entered the cars.
The passengers, among whom, Of course,
there was great CONSERVATION, were more or
less mulcted in the shape of ransom. Seine
produced grcenbacks, others watches, while
several reluctantly diamonds, rings, or
brcastpns as equivalent to their personal
liberty.
The aggregate amount OF money taken
from passengers was not less than 100000,
while the value of the ijewery was also
considered large.
1t is said that Maio" Harvey Gilmor, OF
the rebel cavalry, was in command of the
expedition. No orc was injured, nor was
there the least disposition on the part oil
the raiders to take any prisoners. Several
members of the Maryland State Legislature
delegates from the western counties, were
among the passengers

THE END OF SLAVERY.

Slaverys has scarcely an apologist left,
north or south, among true and loyal Union
men. A mass meeting is advertised ct Mem
phis for the purpose of recognising the
State and bringing Tennessee back to the
Union, without slavery, which they admit
Is now dead institution, and should never
he restored. Similar meetings have been
held in Arkansas, North Carolina and other
places Strange as it may appear, the only
persons who advocate the restoration of ala.
very, are the Copperheads in tic north and
the rebels in the south. This may not be
very aattcring to many good citizens who
suffer Copperhcad leaders to control the
democratic party. Jefferson, the great foun-
der of that party, predicted the downfall Of
slavery, aud chopped the day was not far
distant, when that curse would be removed
from the soil of Virginia" This was the
sentiment Of most of the leading statesmen
OF Virginia ut that time. But JEFF. Davis,
Mason, Floyd and other traitors, now de-
clare that jefferson was an abolitionist, and
their allies IN the north join in the hue and
cry. Such is the present condition of the
once proud and glorious democratic party,
trostituted at the footstool of slavery by
rnprincipled men.

The Progress Of opinion.

Whatever may be thought Of The reason,
there can be no doubt of the fact that
Publs Opinion drifts steadily and strongly
in favor of making speedy and thorough
work. with Slavery. !. Nobody shrinks or
winces now when called an Abolitionist; !;
no one feels that he need explain or apollo.
gize for the fact that the War for the Union
lis necessarily an anti-slavery War. The
Following extract from the recent speech in
the House of Hon. James A. Garfield of
Ohio, date Chief Of staff to Gen. Rosccrans,)
vividly and tcrsely gives the nature and
causes of the great and rapid change in
public opinion. Hear him!
II remember to have said to q friend
when entered the army, 'You hate Slavery ;
so do /; but hate nisunion more. Let us
drop the Slavery question and fight to sus-
tain the Union. When the supremacy OF
the Government has been reestabljshed, we
will attend TO the other question:
~ started ont with that position, taken
in good faith, as did thousands OF others oi
all parties. But the army soon found that.
! do what it would, the black phantom met
! it everywhere, in the camp, in the hivouac
on the battle field, and at all times. 1t was
a ghost that would not be laid. Slavery
was both the strength and weakness OF the
enemy. His strength--for it titled his
! fields and fed his legions; ms weakness
for in the hearts of slaves dwelt dim proph
ecies thai their deliverance from bondage
would be the outcome of the war.
! THE negroes came from the cotton-tields
they swan rivers they climbed mountains
they came through iunglcs, in the darkness
and storms of :he night, to tell us that thu
enemy was coming here or coming there
They were our true friends in every case
There has hardly been battle, a march, o
any important event of the war, where tn
friend OF our cause the black man, has no
been found truthful and helpful and al
ways devotedy loyal. The conviction
forced itself upon the mind of every soldic
that behind the Rebel army of soldiers, th
black army Of labprers was feeding am
sustaining the Rebellion, and there could b
no victosy till its main support be take
away.
"Gcntlemenn on the other side, you to
me that this is an Abolition war. If yo
please to say so, | grant it. The rapl
current of events has made the army OF tn
Republic an Abolition army. ! can find
the ranks thousand men who are in fave
of sweeping away Slavery 20 every doze
that desire to preserve it. They have DCl
where they have seen its malcvo,ence, i
baleful effect upon the country and ii
Union, and they demand that it shall
swept away"

gy- THE COUNTY School SUPERISTEy-
DENTON Friday last, meeting Of the
directors, Of the public schools, assembled
in the Grand Jury room, in this place, pur-
sCant TO public notice, FOR the purpose Of
taking into consideration the propriety of
raising the salary Of the present superinten-
dent, Mr.. UP, from 5000 to $500. After
some discussion ola desultcry character, in
which considerable feeling wGs developed,
the motion TO raise the salary was lost, by
vote Of IS for, to 2s against It's Adoption
After this, Mr.. c. Hottenetine, offered Pc
tition or paper, which was read, the OBJ.
ject of which We did not clearly comprehend
but supposed to be inimical to the school
system. This was Indignantly laid Gu the
table by an almost unanimous vote.
We have always had our own opinion on
the matter of county superintendents, but
have said but little on the subject, being
willing 10 give the system fair trial. We
are not yet convinced that any special good
has resulted from its adoption. that might
not have been accomplished at much less
expense than the Superintendents salary.

~ The rebel editor of the Se!insgrove
Times argues that the war is not drawing to
a close, as we stated, because the President
has called out 100000 men. If the editor
possessed brains and loyalty in proportion
to his ignorance and impudence, he might
see the propriety Of large force to over
wheim the traitors and crush the rebellion
at o blow. But that is not what the rebel
sympathizers, aiders and abettcrs, want.
Hence they assail every measure calculated
10 suppress the rebellion.
