Off the Track.

Our two great military chieftains had a
narrow escape from a railroad smash on
Wednesday last. The peris of railroad trav
ell seem as great to them as the dangers o.
war Gen. Grant was in the Car on the train
from Cincinnati to Indianapolis, which was
thrown from the track and dragged some dis
tance. Gen. Sherman on the same day met
with similar accident on the Ohio and Mis-
sissippi Railroad, near Lawrenceburg. For.
tunately no damage was done in either case

CRoAKERs.-A good many of our cotem-

times!" Most of these croakers are of the
copperhead order. Business Of all kinds was
never better in the history of the country
Money is plenty. Workmen Of all classes
are in demand at good wages. 1t will take
at least five years to restore the material de-
stroyed by the war. The products of the
South will pay all these expenses. Our own

mand. This will keep the North busy as
we'll as the South, and effectually postpone

part a resolution was passed in favor of a
separation of the North nd,South, in case
measures of Cancellation failed and, "in no
event should there be resort to arms to force
our unwilling brethren into suhjecton," and
one of the speakers asserted that New Jer-

through her borders to subjugate the South"

For a country as vast as our own, and in
which the growth is so rapid, and where
new Territories and States are coming into
existence in such quick succession, and
when the military operations of the last
four years have given such extraordinary i'm
portance to many places little known before,
and invested with new interest others with
which, merely from civil commercial impor-
tance the public were more or less acquaint-
ed previously, a new Atlas, adapted to our
own times, has become a necessity. The
necessity has been met with remarkable
success in the work now before US. We shall
state some of the marked excellencles
Many of the maps, particularly of our own
country, are on double sheet, thus giving
not only the State or region designed, but
the surrounding Territories with their con-
Meeting network of railroads, rivers, and
mountain ranges. Unlike all other maps
these give the outlire of every county and
town in the United States, showing the
latest internal improvements, as the deserip-
tive portion gives the statistics of the latest
census. They are beautifully engraved in
clear line and letter. and delicately colpred.
Between the successive maps guards have
be pasted when subsequent changes require;
and every volume is accompanied by print
ed guaranty from the publisher to furnish
such new map to subscribers when events
demand them, at very trifling cost. The
returns for each succeeding census will be
furnished in the same way, so that thework
will not only be selfadjusting one, keeping
pace with the progress of the age, but will
give great facilities for comparing the future
with the past. To facilitate the study of the
maps of the United States, and otherwise
aM the reader of the current events of the
times there is printed on the backs Of the
maps an alphabetical list of all the postoffices
in the States, with the State and County in
which they are severally situated.
The chronological index of events pertain
ing to the great rebellion, giving in detail
each transaction of Importance, political and
military, is very minute and extensive
Take it all in all, the Information contained
in this volume far exceeds what can be found
within the same compass in any other one,
or even dozen of volumes which can be
named. To get that information would re-
quire an expenditure Of time and money far
beyond the reach Of most persons in the
community. Yet here be has it right at his
hand, and at very low price, too
This work, sold to subscribers only, will
soon be offered to our citizens, and we wish
the agent every success in introducing SO
valuable work into the libraries of our
citizens.

A CHANCELLOR The New Brunswick
Fredonian says that it is currenly reported
that Gen. Runyon promises, in the rather
improbable event of his election, to appoint
Andrew Jackson Rogers Chancellor of the
State!
Rogers was the next friend of Gen. Run.
yon in tie convention that nominated him
and is supposed to be the author of the re,
markable series Of resolutions adopted by
that body. Gen. Runyon, of course, feels
under obligations to his friend, but the idea
Of appointing Hon Jack Rogers as the sue
cessor of Henry W. Green is a little too pre-
posterous. The judiciary Of New Jersey has
always stood very high, and deservedly so
but it would not long maintain that position
with such man as Rogers occupying the
most prominent and important position.

The copperheads pretend that they are in
favor Of equal taxation. They propose to tax
the income upon United States bonds, in or
der to bring about an equality of taxation;
but they say nothing about the fifty millions
Of railroad property which are exempt from
taxation, nor the two or three millions of
dollars in State bonds, which are also ex-
empt, and made so by their votes in the Leg
islature. The truth is, that class legislation
and the bestowal Of exclusive privileges upon
particular companies, have always been the
distinguishing characteristics of the policy
of the sham Democracy of New Jersey. The
declaration that they are in favor of equal
taxation. is bit of sheer impudence. They
have never favored anything of the kind In
small matters as well as in large, they have
invariably gone upon the principle Of rob-
bing Peter to pay Paul-Susser Register.

The crops this year will prove to be the
largest ever harvested in Canada, and the
yield-will be of Very fine aualityE The
favorable spring, with genial rains and the
fine harvest weather, have done wonders
this season, and the general trade of the
provinces has received an impetus such as
has not been experienced since 1856.
The crop of both spring and winter wheat
Is unusually large in most of the districts,
with the exception Of small tracts which
have been affected by nudge. "'noai
A large breath of land has been sown this
year, in peas, and the sample ,i>s very fine,
with more than an,average. gikldl DG@
Owing to the prices held + ba"ley the
past three years, the farmers have given
their attention to the cultivation of this
grain and have sown a larger area than in
any previous year, which has been harvest
ed in fine condition. In reference to the
crop, it is something .wonderiublbo as re-
CARDS the quantity and quality, as such a
yield per acre has never been known in
Upper or Lower Canada, and it is estimated
by the bestsjudges that it will exceed L.
100000 bushels as compared with any pre-
vious season.
The rye crop is good and the samples
fine, with the average amount sogh.. Il E
The oats is also a very fine crop, more
than an average, while the grain is of an ex-
cellent quality.

time In etwenty-four years of his absence
from this city. The last nine years he has
held the prelacy of Alton, Illinois. He was
and for time officiated in this city when
the church was but in its infancy. Many
of the old Catholic residents of the neigh
bofhood recollect his sweet smile and win
hing voice, all thinking well of him and
prasing his work. He was in reality the
original founder of the church in this city,
having built the old stone church now used
for school purposes After delivering a
long and instructive, discourse, he alluded
feelingly to theimprovements that had been
made during the time of his absence. He
could mot return until he had an oppor-
