Good Men Differ.

Some men can hardly prevent gloomy
corcbodincs when they scan the horizon OF
our country. When they look South, into
the States lately in revolt, they discover
ghe same implacable, unframed and lnhu-
man spirit that murdered our prisoners
by slow torture at Andersonville, and
bntchercd the colored troops in cold blood
ON more than one occasion. Turning
their ewes to the National Capital, they
see our chief executive, the President OF
these States, ready to welcome back the
reI-hanued traitors to all the privileges
and illmunities which the truly LOCAL can
receive. AMI in this he is seconded by
some o. the men of his own party.
On the other hand we see Charles Sum
mr. Ind Thaddeus Stevens, and other good
men il, Congress, Stoully resisting, and de-
nyinc the rights Of these men 50 lately In
REBELLION against the government, voice
in is councils.
There seems the greatest diversity OF
opinion among good men in regard to the
real condition Of the south and the antnus
of the Southern people. While President
johnson and Gen. Grant appear to think
everything in the South favorable to lm-
mediate re-admission, Messrs Sumner and
Stevens, and Carl Schruz, (who has had
better means of learning than either of
these other gentlcmen) cannot consistently
give their voice to present admission, not
yet seeing works meet for repentance.
In regard to the great diversity of opin-
ion On this matter, the Boston Journal has
a good suggestion. 1t asks that the coun-
try he enlightened, and says:
The passage Of Il month or two of
time is nothing compared with the risk OF
gong wrong at this critical stage of the
republic. when Il serious error of legisla
ton will throw its shadow over centuries
and over millions of mankind Let us
ste whether these reports on Southern at
fairs, coming from various sources, cannot
in some way be reconciled. Let us see
whether new light still is not accessible.
1t Is not for us to point out the way. But
it would seem that one good method would
he tor the very able special committee on
ycconStruction to send out subcommittee
expressly to gather information and report.
Such 4 plan worked well in the case OF
Kansas, and it would work better now,
because there is far less partisanship to be
encountered than there was in those days.
a subcommittee of say five might be
chosen, comprising wide variety of per-
sonal and political antecedents, and they
would cain more reliable information in
one month than we now seem likely to
obtain before Congress closes its session.
But if something ike this is not done, then
we must have recourse to the fullest dis
.cusSion in and out OF Congress, so that the
subject can he brought out in all its bear
ingS, and It's final impression upon the pub
lie mind collected and embodied in prudent
LEGISLATION.

New RAILROAD RoUTE.-It is pro-
posed to open new railroad line from
New York to Montreal. Several New
Workers, Pittslieid men and Vermonters
propose to take the matter in hand. BY
building a branch railroad of eight miles
from the Housatonic railroad at Kent, Ct,
to the Harlem road at Dover Plains, n
T., continuous line will lie formed from
New York to Montreal, except a short
distance between Hoosic, n. Y, and the
Western Vermont railroad. The proposed
route is as follows: From New York to
Dover Plains on the Harlem road, thence
to Kent by the new branch from Kent to
Pittsfield On the Housatonic road, from
Pittsfield to Adams on the North Adams
railroad, from Adams to Hoosic on the
Troy and Greenfield road, then intersect
with the Western Vermont road, and then
on to Rutland, Burlington and Montreal
The cost of the branch is estimated at
100000, and the money is promised i'm
mediately for both links which are needed
to complete the line.
The officers of the late New Hamp-
shire regiments propose to have grand
reunion leyce in Concord on Monday eve
ming, Jan. |, 1866.
SILL ANOTHER. the new rail-
road projects should be mentioned the plan
for road from White River junction
through Woodstock to Rutland, for which
charter was granted at the last session
Of the Legislature. The route is said to
be feasible. and the distance forty miles.
\ contemporary suggests that the te-
nian movement would result in great prac-
teal good if the funds raised were devoted
to organizing steady emi grafton CT ihe
Irish people to the South and Southwest,
where plenty of remunerative labor would
be found and it argues that such strength
ening of republicanlsm would do more to
vex John Bull than any physical demon
straton
A leading feature in the celebration of
the memorable 22d of December, at Bos-
ton, was the formal reception, on the part
of the State, of the battle-fags of the
Massachusetts, regiments.

authorizing railroad communication be-
