The very possibility that by the mere

the crime of murder and treason be left
unpublished, and the murderers and trail

again, and, when they please, to raise re-
newed rebellion, knowing from the past
that even should they fail they will not
be punished, suggests that our duty is

Concerning this the Ohio StateS1taa says:

The Late Railway Accident Nenr.
sy|.tr I.. Lancaster. Iii s..

LANCASTER, Oct. 28.riThe ooroners jury,
after protracted investigation of the rail
road accident near this city on the 10th
inst, rendered verdict to-day finding that
nine persons were, killed in consequence of
the front truck of the car which they oceu-
pied giving way and breaking through the
floor; and that the cause of such giving way
is unknown to the jury.
1t was passed before the jury that the
track was in good condition, and the car
new and sound. The true k of this car was
iron, and the axles of steel, and neither axle
or wheel WAS broken. 1t was also proved
that the cars of this train were carefully in
spected at Harrisburg, and their speed did
not exceed the schedule time, but that day
were running at the rate of twenty y-eight
miles an hour, when the accident occurred.
Why the train left the track remains
mystery. The bodies of the three unknown
females were Unidentified yesterday as Mrs.
Bean and daughters, Of California, who were
on their way home from visit to friends in
Ohio. They have been Interested in Wood
ward Hill Cemetery, at the request of a
brother, who Unidentified the bodies. .t,.~

A RAILWAY ON The CORNWALL IRON
MouNTAIN.-The Lebanon Adrertiser says
that one of the greatest engineering, scien-
;itic and mechanical feats in the country is
now being performed at Cornwall, in that
county. 1t is no less than the building of a
spiral railway around and to the top of the
great Iron ore mountain, 1t starts from the
level of The Cornwall Railroad, and revolves
around the mountain, at some places over
trestle work, at Others over high cmbank-
ments, and again at Others through ponder
Gus cuts in the solid iron ore, until it reaches
the very top of the mountain. A great part
of the way is completed, greater part is
ready for the sills, while the rest is progress
ing actively A powerful Locomotive has
been obtained to do the work of moving
the trains, and is already at Cornwall. The
spiral road proper, when completed, will be
over two miles IN length, and work the
equal of which cannot be found probably in
the world. 'i" y.- ~ '.
The great Improvements now going on at
Cornwall. are under the superintenlence OF
A. Wilhelm, Esq, the manager Of the Corn,

the other parties interested.

ARE NEWSPAPERS NH.
SANCES?

4 It is the opinion of the Rev. Mr.. Stubbs,
publicly expressed ia the Protestant Episco-
pal Convention, thatf'a newspaper is null !
sance, and that any diocese would be a mo- |
del one which did not have any" Bold
nnd unconpromising as this dogma may
seem in this age and country OF mutitu
dinous publication, so far from being fresh,
original, and, as we may say, Stubbsian, 1t
is veritable antique, with the appropriate
ancient and fish-like smell, and has been
entertained and ,avowed by many priests,
potentates and philosophers, under many
circumstances, in many forms, ana in many
countries Tastes differ; and there are no
doubt some persons residing within hearing
Of the Rev. Mr. Stubs church going bell
who consider him, in the tlepravity of their
hearts, 10 be a nuisance. We are not sure
that some of his associates in the Convcn-
tion did not entertain the same uncharitahlc
feelings. ''* 4'% w
The view of journalism entertained by the
Rev. Mr.. Stubbs is a good, sound, Old Do
minion piece of opinion, which was aired
long ago in Congress by Henry A. Wise,
who thanked God that there were no news
papers in his diocese we mean his district.
We believe that he rather than else objected
to school-houscs also and held the senti-
ments Of Mr. John Cade in regard to read
ing and writing. Whether he was equally
hostile to pulpits we Go not know--but he
might have been, unless he were fortunate
enough to secure the services of the Rev.
Mr.. Stubs, from se,!ips nothing Gang
erous nor <lIscorganizing could possibly fall.
This silly affectdtion of undertaking public
education and its necessary instruments, was
legitimate result of the aristocratic notions
engcndered by Slavery. 1t was fashionable
among the supper classes of the South, and
their nice minded sympathizers ut the North,
to undcrvaiuc popular education, and to
assert that it teiitled to ''agraranism," and
infdclty, and public disorders. Whatever
served to elevate the masses was hateful in
the sight of those who would have doomed
the masses to perpetual ignorance-to hope
less bondage and unquestioning submission
1t was the natural custom of those who
hated all freedom, except their own, to de-
nounce freedom of thought and o: speech as
dangerous to order and religion and law
They were men out Of their time and place
the victims of unreasonable fear and
egregious vanity who would have sent
back all learning to the cloister, and who
seriously mourned the invention of printing
conservatives, who sincerely disbcleycd
in human progress, and who regretted The
disappearance Of every vestigc of the worlds

he does not reside upon the top of column

We dO not think this an OverStatcment.
For, if planters could thrive on growing
Cotton at 10 cents per pound, paying ST.
600 per head for their laborcrs, they surely
can grow rapidly rich on growing just such
Cotton with free labor at 32i cents per
pound.
AS to tho alleged deficiency of Labor, we
regard it as off tue same piece with the pre-
tense that White men could not work in the
Cotton fields of the South; when Free White
labor was at that moment growing an ex-
cellent staple alike in Northern Alabama
and in Southern Texas. r..u ..t. ..
The cry has changed--now it is "Niggcrs
won't wo-k"-which is as groundess as that
which it has supplanted. Open store in
any part of tho South, and say. "lIere are
Bacon, Flour, Corn Meal Sugar, Tea, Sheet
ings, Ualicoes, Ginghams, Flannels, Satinets,
&c., to be dealt out at cash prices for Labor;
and they who don't wish or choose to spend
their wages as they earn them shall have the
full balance due them in cash so soon as the
crop is made"-and you will soon have
laborers in abundance and more Offering.
Certainly, we do not indorse tic assertion
that "Niggers won't work." but they who
put faith in it may do so in welcome Sup
ply shelter and food; pay good wages so
fast as earned; and you can have all the Ia
borers you want, and suit yourself as to col
or. The South has lost heavily in men by
the war; but she has at least One Million
| White Male adults to-day; two-thirds of
whom must work or starve. Display the
Meal, Meat aud Frbrics where all who pass
may see them, and the great majority-no
matter of what race-will work rather than
starve. And if Labor should anywhere prove
deficient, hundreds will rush thither so soon
as apprised of the want. More than One
Million have recently been relieved of the
Musket and restored to the Plow. He who
imagines that they would rather famish than
work is grossly mistaken. ger.
Let no man run in debt in these times;
but let those who have spare means and
capacity invest somewhat in Cotton grow

They are right. 1t is now morally certain
that all the Cotton In. the. Country on the
day of Johnston's surrender did not exceed
Two Millions Of bales, most Of which has
since changed ,hanls, and a good part of II
reached the sehboarr,, The crop of 1865
will not exceed One Million bales, and may
fall decidedly below that amount. And it
is now morally certain that not more than
Two Million bales will be grown in 1866,
and that this will net to the growers from
80 to 40 cents lin goltD per pound.
| And here is q notable fact: The crop of
| 1850 was about Five Million bales of 400
pounds each, worth to the growers 1bad no
civil war intervened) $50 per bale, or Two
Hundred and Fifty Millions of dolars. Now
the Two Millions on hand last May, the
One Million grown this year. and the Two
Millions which may be grown next ycnr,
have sold or will sell at the nearest railroad
station or steamboat landing for an average
of not less than 3si cents gold standard)
per pound, or $3.50 per balc-that is, for an
aggregate of Six Hundred and Fifty Millions
Of Dollars. In other words, the planters
will receive in the average as much for a
crop of Twp Millions of bales rs they did
for one of Five Millions a.f s.meN
