The Funeral COrtege in Chicago.

The Chicago papers are filled with ac-
counts Of the doings in that city on Mon
day and Tuesday in honor of the remains of
President Lincoln. There was general
turning out of the whole northwest there
being large delegations present from all the
adjoining States 1t is claimed by some Of
the papers that half million of strangers
were in the city. By others the number is
put at quarter of a million. The process
sion from the cars to the Court House was
two miles long. We have neither time nor
space to go into particulars further than to
say that Chicago did her part nobly, to-
wards making the ovation worthy of the
martyred President and Patriot.

The Mississippi Legislature Insulted.

The jackson correspondent of the Cincin-
natl Gazeae gives the following glimpse into
the prejudices of the men who are now en-
deavoring to restore Mississippi to her place
in the Union:
"a terrible Grebrand was thrown into the
Lower House, few days since, in the shape
of colored soldier, with his bayonet, to guard
a criminal who wished to see one of the mem
bers. The soldier stood at parade rest in
side the door, back under the gallery, where
he remained quietly until the prisoner had
finished his business, when both stepped noise.

and put shilling, as he supposed on the
plate, and then passed it round among the
congregation, which numbered many young

at the plate. all seemed astonished and amused
and the young man, takinga glance at the

the words. Twill you marry me?" in red let

NUMBER II
Our Railroad Interests.

A correspondent of the Pittsburg CONNER
ctal, writing from Washington, says:
"a Branch of the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad unites Washington with Baltimore,
Baltimore is well provided with railroads
running in all directions This Branch Road
between here and Baltimore has done an i'm
mense business during the war Iu four
years, including troops, the passengers car
ried over it have exceeded two millions. Be-
sides this immense travel, the supplies &C.,
for the army and the people of this city have
nearly all been carried over the road. [ be-
lieve that the number of accidents causing tho
loss of life have been but two in that whole
period. This fact seems grand compliment
to the security of the road and the efficiency
OF the officers, when we consider how appal-
ing has been the loss of life by accidents on
other roads, not only during but since tho
war.
There is still another railroad which de-
serves attention in this connection. 1t is the
new short line to connect Washington with the
West and Northwest This road is now be-
ing accurately surveyed as rapidly as posi-
BILE by full corps of engineers, under Messrs
lIatrobe and Randolph When completed, it
will connect the Washington and Baltimore
depot with the main stem of the Baltimore aud
Ohio Railroad at Point Of Rocks, MARYLAND.
some seventy-hve miles west of Baltimore.
and forty-iive miles from Washington. Thus
Washington will be brought some forty miles
nearer the West and Northwest than it is at
present, and this distance will be much fur
ther shortened by the completion of the Con-
nellsville Railroad, connecting Cumberland
with Pittsburg and the entire West and North
west through Pittsburg. When done, it is
claimed, and upon good evidence, that this
new and important line from Washington will
b. all that is necessary to establish full rail-
road facilities to and from the national capital,
and will at once obviate the necessity for tn.
additional road under the title of an sair line
between Washington and the North. Tho
work on the Connellsville road is more than
half done, as its whole length from Pittsburr
to Cumberland is only about one hundred
and fifty miles. The Importance of these two
new roads is not fully appreciated by the pub
lie. They will form the very shortest posi-
BILE time between Washington and the great
West and Northwest, aud bring Pittsburg
with its vast wealth of iron, coal and general
commerce, and all the country beyond, about
eighty miles nearer the American capital
than at present. A the late decision of tho
United States District Court in favor of tho
road settles the points in law, we may safely
predict speedy resumption of labor on tho
unfinished end of the road, which, when COM
pleted, will be of such an immense interest.

The fact has just been made public that
some weeks ago. during the visit of Wirz's
vile to Washington, an attempt was made by
her to forestall the sentence of the court in
her husbands case by poisoning him. When
kissing him at parting in the cell after one of
their interviews, she managed to convey from
her own mouth into his little ball of strych-
nine. covered with coatings of oiled silk and
licorice Colonel Baker, who was present
and noticed the suspicious proceeding, sprang
forward, and by seizing Wirz by the throat.
compelled him to spit out the article An
examination showed its poisonous character
and the object it was designed to accomplish.
Mrs. Wirz was not again allowed to visit her
husband.

OuR RAILROADS. correspondent of the
Washington lnteligencer writing to that pa
per says II neglected to mention in my let
from Cumberland that work had been resum-
on the road from that city to Connelsville,
which, with the road from Point of Rocks to
Washington, un which the work has been
begun, will form the shortest line of commu-
nication between the geeat Northwest and
Southwest, bringing Washington, Pittsburg,
and Cleveland in direct connection; and a
glance at the map will show that these three
cities are on an almost direct line between
the lakes and the South Atlantic coast of the
United States.
''That the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
Company are interested in the great work of
thus uniting the East with the West is suf-
fcient guaranty that it will be speedily and
successfully completcd; and thus the great
"mountan road" company will have the con-
troll of two lines, in,crseeting each other at
Cumberland, that will be the great central
connecting routes between the four quarters
of our country.
"Officers who have the sngaciy and ener-
gy to keep in successful operation road on
to very borders of hostile sections, during
war Of four years, will certainly comprehend
the advantages of the combination | have al
ludcd to, and use every exertion to effect its
speedy accomplishment"

A supR1sE TO WooD TnIEF.-A gentle
man living in Terra IIaute, whose stove wood
melted away faster than was warranted by the
mldness of the weather, charged fine look
ing stick with few ounces of powder, and
left it on the pile. The Express thus relates
the sequel:
Wednesday forenoon an explosion was
heard in house near by, and a kitchon win
dow was spared no panes. On going to the
spot sight might have been seen The stove
had joined peace conference, kettle of
pork and cabbage shot up through the roof
like an arrow. A dish of apples stewed on
the stove gave the ceiling the appearance of a
map of California. A cat that was sleeping
under the stove went through the broken win
dow as though after the devil Or a doctor. -
The cat has not been heard from since, but a
smell of burnt cat hair pervadcs that house
very thoroughly. A fiat iron was hoisted into

the amount of want, poverty, and absolute
suffering throughout the land is greater than it
was at any time during the war. There are
thousands of fields where active, organized
bencvolence will be necessary to save women
and children from starvation"

the New England Farmer, in his last "notes

In late years the proposition has been Of
ten mootcd in the Senate of having pupils at
the Legations to learn the art of diplomacy.
But our present school of diplomacy seems to
be that Of arms. 1t looks to arms The ap-
pointncnt of General hogan as Minister to
the Republic of Mexico, {the seat of govern
meat of which is in the province of Chhuahu)
contcmplates our resistance, at least, to fur
ther French aggression in that quarter, and
probably to continental policy sustaining
the Monroe doctrine The latter idea is
strengthened by the appointment of another
soldier to 60 to Chilli, and take the place, af-
ter while, of an experienced and popular
minister now there Meanwhile Gen. Kill
patrick goes to Spain, it is said. to impress
the views of cur Government upon the Court
of Madrid.
The French imbroslio has been given as
reason in the highest quarter for keeping up
the army at present to about 200, 900 men,
some of which are being concentrated upon
the Canadian frontier to repress Fcnian move
ments, doubtless, and thus ingratiatc England
to our interest as against France. But the
latter has an alliance with Spain by marriage
and with Austria by setting up one of her
Archlukes in the splendid Empire of Mexico
Dynastic reasons, with desire to keep the
French people in good humor; may make war
with US in Mexico rather desirable thing to
Napoleon, Napoleon Is reported to be with
drawing troops from Rome, which thing may
be to procure a cancellation of tho Catholic
clergy in Mexico.
France has as large navy as our own,
and in a war our commercial marine would
be the greater sufferer, unless, indeed, it is
for the most part in foreign hands by transfer
during the scourging of the seas by Confede-
rate privatecrs.
1t will be remembered that Gen. McDou-
gall, Senator of California, made an impression
upon Congress, a couple of sessions since, by
a very able exposition of French designs in
Mexico and on the Pacific slope.
