Marietta and Cincinnati Railroad.

1t is quite probable that the work Of com
pleting the Marietta and Cincinnati rail .
road through to Wheeling will soon be COM
menced-how soon, it is not possible for us
to tell, but with a favorable money market,
the day may be regarded as not very far
distant. The line from Marietta to Cincin-
natl is being improved and put i'll a state Of
perfection as rapidly as possible. The In
dependent entrance into Cincinnati will be
finished within about four months. The
Pitcher tunnel, 1900 feet long, will proba-
bly, be completed in about the same length
OF time. The fills, doing away with the
trestles, between this and Athens, are being
pushed forward, and the largest one, at
Warren's, seven miles this side of Athens,
will be completed within about eight
weeks. These works completed, and like
wise the Wheeling connection, this road
will become great through route from

and other eastern cities, beside the double
connection to Baltimore, through Parkers-

tFr0m The Louisville journal, May I'D
JEFF. Davis has succumbed to the force of
circumstances. He has a pretty long head,
but his legs havn't proved long enough for
his exigencies. He is caught, caught and
carried off. The impersonation of the Con-
federacy isin ';durance yile." AlWaysironT
hearted, he is probably now, though we
hope not, iron-wristed. He looks at the
world, If at all, through CRATES and isn't
grateful. He has Yankee keepers--white
ones, we hope. The Southern eagle, pluck
ed by Northern harpies, is ''nibbling in his
narrow cage" unforgetful of the time when
he swept like winged storm through the
lurid atmosphere OF the rebellion, frighten-
ing thousands of inferior birds to their hid
ing places. I .t
We do not desire to speak tauntingly OF
JEFF. Davis when the evil days have come
upon him. lie is a prisoner, but SO were
Napoleon. Richard of the Lion Heart, and
many other Kings and heroes. We have
felt no exultation at hisafrest. But for the
suspicion of his connection with the late
horrid drama of blood at Washington, we
could almost have wished that he might
escape his swift pursuers. We are afraid
now that his capture and the treatment he
is destined to receive will render the res
toration Of national harmony much more
difficult than it would be ii he were upon
a foreign shore. Every feeling planted by
God in the human heart dictates that, If he
was party to the internal conspiracy, his
body shall rot and blacken on high in the
sun and wind and rain, but we hope and
trust that no such devilish crime can be
proved on him, and, that no severer measure
will be found necessary than his lifelong
exile from the great and glorious land he
has SOuUht to DESTROY. .' ~ | .f'' ...
And Mr.. Davis ought to consider exile as
no punishment at all. We should think
that, if not eXiled by authority, he would
exile himself. Having made to the people
of the South thousand promises that have
been broken, having continually lured them
on with hopes and expectations that have
been blasted, having held out to them fair
looking fruits that have turned to ashes aud
bitterness upon their lips, having deceived
and led them astray by every vile and
stratagem and device that he could invent,
having played leading part in keeping up
a war resulting in the slaughter of hun
dreds of thousands of them and the de-
struction ofas many more by pestilence and
famine, having brought upon the whole of
his mighty section a dcsolation that makes
it look like the blackened track of storm
OF fire and birthstone, and having at last
seen all his mighty armies surrender, his
boasted Confederacy stricken down and
scattered piece-meal to the bowling tenn
pest OF war, and himself flying for life from
his capital with only his staff to guard or
accompany him in his flight, we should
suppose that he would, even if permitted
to remain upon the theater of the horrors
he has wrought, choose rather to take the
wings of the morning and fly to the utter
most parts of the earth. .'. .'....

CoRREcTIoN.-In paragraph published in
the Press few days since, we stated that "a
leading manufacturer told US few days since
that he should not object to making foreign
paper free, provided the revenue tax on paper
could ba abated." The gentleman to whom
we referred has called our attention to the
paragraph, and we are satisfied we did not rep
resent him correctly. His remark was, in SUBJ
stance, that II the manufacture of domestic pa
per could be released from the revenue tax,
ana imported materials required in the manu-
iacture could be made free of duty he then
moulo NOT o0lect to making foreign paper free.
AS the law now stands, the paper manufactur-
er has to pay large duty on his chemicals
required for bleaching purposes, also on his
felts, wire webbing, &C., all of which hoe -,
be paid in gold. If foreign paper is to he
thrown upon our markets free OF duty. 70
come 10 competition with our domestic fab.
rics, 1t Is no more than fair that all that enters
into the composition Of, or is required in the
manufacture of the domestic article, chemi
Gals, lettings, wire weddings, rags, machines,
&c, should be also free of duty; else an un
just discrimination will be made against our
own enterprising manufacturers.
