A NEw RAILROAD FROM BALTIMORE To
CUhBERLAND-We had visit, on Thursday
last, from gentleman who communicated
interesting facts as grouD~ work for his belief
that arrangements would soon be concludes.
whereby three millions of dollars would be
raised, pledged for the construction Of a rail-
road from the Western Maryland Railroad, via
Hagerstown, 10 Cumberland, thereby 10 open
another outlet from the Maryland coal region
TO Baltimore.
As an auxiliary part OF the project we have
information that many shares of the Gettysburg
Railroad-a road seventeen miles long between
Hanover and Gettysburg have recently
changed hands, with a view 10 the construction
Of a new road from Oxford, on it's line, east 20
Columbia, on the Susquehanna river there 70
connect with the Reading and Columbia Rail-
road; and also Its elongation westward from
extension of the Western Maryland Railroad;
so that new road built east from Cum mberland
would, TO the South Mountain, be the main
stem Of line forking thence to Baltimore via
the Western Maryland Railroad, and 10 New
York via Gettysburg, Columbia, Reading, and
Allentown
An examination of the map will disclose the
stragetic significance Of this new route from
Maryland 10 New York. And as trains are
now run on combination time table, from
New \ ork TO Columbia, tits not impossible (es-
pecially If the Gettysburg Railroad be worked
into the plan) that new links between Colum-
bia the Western Maryland Railroad extension
will be built for, if built into Mary land, It will
also be extended hereafter to Washington, thus
flliEg out back door line from Washington
TO New York, as well as from East Virginia
and Western Maryland TO New York. From
the Potomac south, too, the open valleys of
Virginia will invite farther extensions and
more distant connections,
Verify, the existing Atlantic trunk lines are
being menaced on all sides by new born rivals,
animated by no mean ambition! And when
we review what has been done, who shall say
that this or that project or enterprise will not
be consummatedl The newest new thing un-
der the sun is the latest railroad scheme, born
on paper and swaddled in a map.-U. s. X. n

4 Bit Of War Histery-Lee's Surrepdey
Preneditated. .ft ,f |

The following passage Is from the forthson-
ing volume Of Pollsrd's Southern history "
"The Fourth Year Of the War" -
"There can De no doubt in history TIA; Gcnl
and Petersburg, had decided, in his own pairI.
upon the hopelessness Of the war and had pre-
determined It's surrender. The most striking
proof Of this is, that on his retreat there was
10 order published against siraggling-a thing
unprecedented in all deliberate and strategic
r.treats-and nothing whatever done 10 man
tan discipline. The men were not animated
oy me style OF general orders usual on such
at will.
"An idea run through the virginia troops
that with the abandonment Of Richmond the
war was hopeless, and that they would be justi-
ned in refusing 70 fight outside the limits OF
their State. Nothing was done To check the
notorious circulation Of this notion in the army.
The Virginia troops ecottered on 70 their
homes at almost every mile Of the route. We
have seen that Pickett was left with only a
handful Of men. Some Of the brigade COM
manders had not hesitated 70 advise their men
that the war was virtually over, and that they
had better 90 home and make crops
"But there are other proofs, besides the omis-
SION OF the measures against struggling usual
on retreats, that General Lee had preyised a
surrender Of his army. He carried on from
Petersburg and Richmond all the transporta-
uon OF hIs army, sufficient perhaps, for one
hundred thousand men, certainly largely in
excess OF the actual needs Of the retreat. The
Excessive number of Virginia troops who were
permitted TO drop out Of the ranks and return
10 their homes, shows very well that there was
no nrm purpose 70 carry the war out of the
limits OF that State. Prisoners taken on the re-
treat invariably reported that the army was
soon TO be halted for a surrender; and General
alleged 10 have made the same revelations OF
his fathers designs"

ENGLISH OPINION OF THE JAMAICA BRU-
TALITIEs.-The London Daily News says:
1--WE cannot pOllute our columns with more of
such appalling details. If but a thousandth
part OF such tales as form the staple of the ia
maica newspapers-and which are narrated
with heartiest applause-are true, hell itself
mas broke loose in that wretched island. But
the demons are net the blacks, who burst into
the sudden fury OF single day, and never
afterwards offered the remotest show of resis-
tance. They are the white men, who week
after week have been holding their feast of
blood; who have by form of law taken fifty
lives for each one that they themselves lost;
who have on pretence of future insurrection
made whole region barren with extermina-
ton, and unhabitable with the pestilence of
purifying bodies; who gloat and Jest over the
tortures they infiict ere they mercifully slay;
who fog NAKED women and children, and who
blaspheme Almighty God with their thanks for
His mercies youchsafed in delivering their
enemies into their hands. 1t is no longer
human nature that exists in that land: drunk
with blood and maddened with cruelty, our
soldiers and sailors have become as wild ami
mails, and have lost every vestige and senti-
ment Of humanity. while they handy compli-
ments on their common triumphs over panic
stricken and fugitive wretches, over a foe who
has never crossed a sword with them in fight
nor ever fired musket-shot in their 'glorious
campaign This awful business must be
stopped if we would not have all civilization
rise to execrate the name of Enslishmen."
