The JACKSON RAMROAD-At meeting
OF the Directors of the New Orleans, Jack
son and Gaeat Northern Railroad, last eve
ming, the following choice of officers was
made: G. T. Beauregard, President; T. 5.
Williams. General Superintendent; b. II.
Greene, Chief Engineer; X. :. Charles, Sec
rotary and Treasurer; Augustus Wang,
Storekeeper The choice, in each case, was
unanimous. This shows harmony in the
Board, and confidence in these gentlemen,
who have done so much towards placing our
great trunk road to the West and North in
an effective working condition, and who
have since so ably carried it on. Under the
management of Gen. Beauregard, the most
active and accomplished engineer of the
South, if not of the whole country, we shall
soon see the jackson Railroad in more than
its former state of efficiency, and contributing
more than any other of our public enter
prises towards bearing us on to fortune.

Hugh Miller recorded his reflections stand
ing on the border line of England and Scot
land. There is wisdom, observes the Phila-
delphia Age, in what he says, as well as
beauty; his thoughts are pensive, tender,
charitable, such as beft the soul Of a Chris
tian man and in this day, when it is pro-
posed to use victory as means toward the
conquest and oppression Of sister States
instead of making it avail to the restoration
ofthe peaceful union Of our fathers, timely
lesson may be learned from these medlta-
tions of the great Scotchman:
And this was the famous border line, made
good By the weaker against the stronger
national how vast an amount OF blood ana
sutfeTing-fOr more than a thousand years
It wore to-day, in the quiet sunshine looh
ofrecluse tranquility that seemed wholly
unconscious Of the past. A tum bling sea OF
dark Green hills, delicately eheckered with
ipht and shadow, swelled upward on either
side toward the line Of boundary like the
biIloyvs Of opposing tideways that Use over
the general level where the currents meet :
and passing on and away, from wave top 10

rating line But all was still and motionless,

We passed on the Scottish side q group Of
stalwart shepheTds-sOlid, grave1eatured
men. who certainly did not look as il they
loved fighting for its own sake; and on the
English side. drove by a few stout. ruddy
hands engaged in driving carts. who seemed
lust as little QuarrelsOme as their Scotch
neighbors War must be intrnsically mis-
chievous 1t must be something very bad,
let US personify il as proudly we may, that
could have set on these useful, peaceable
people-cast 50 nearly in the same mold,
speaking the same tongue, possessed OF the
same common nature, lOvable doubtless IN
some points from the development Of the
same genial atfectiOn-to knock one another
on the head, simply because the one half Of
them had FIRST seen the light on the one side
OF the hill and the other half on the other
side And vet such was the state of things
which obtained in this wild district for
many hundred years.
1t seems, however, especially well for Eng
land, since the quarrel began at all that II
should have been 50 doggedly maintained by
the weaker people-so we'll maintained that
the border hamlet, round which they strng-
gled, in the days of the First Edward, as a

quite enough for the English, as shown by
the political history of modern times, that
they conquered Ireland: had they conquered
Scotland also, they would have been ruined
utterly. "One such victory more and they
would have been undoue" Men have long
suspected the trade of the hero to be a bad

CONSTRUCTION OF THE PEACE PEOCLA-
TIoN."-Gen Candy has published the Presi-
dents proclamation of the 2nd inst, in Cen
eral orders, and appended thereto code of
instructions for the officers of his Depart
ment. After stating that the proclamation
does not remove martial law, &c, he thus
designates the only change which 1T has
effected:
The jurisdiction conferred on Military
Courts by the Act of Congress, approved
March ?, 1868, and by the Both Section Of
the Act of Congress, approved March 3,
1863, and other statutes, and limited in its
operation to a time of war, instruction or
rebellion, ~ over certain offences committed
by persons who are subject to the rules aud
regulations made for the government of the
military and naval forces of the United
States, and subject to the Articles of War;
Is suspended from and after the date of the
proclamation, as to offences committed after
that date. All proceedings before military
COuIts for such offences, that have been
committed since that date, will be dis
missed but the accused parties viii be held
in custody until they can be turned over to
the proper civil authority having jurisdIc-
ton over such offences. Commanding
Officers viii Immediately report all such
cases to Department Headquarters, for such
orders as the case may require
He then adds instructions tending to
guard against collision or interference be
tween the civil and military authorities.
The following is one of the sections
Commanding officers are enioined to see
that there be no reasonable ground of con-
flict between the civil and military author
tiles and in the case of any process issuing
from Court of the United States, military
aid viii be given, when necessary, to en-
force it but only when the process has
been issued by competent authority. The
civil authorities of the State will be treated
with Difference and respect but military
interference viii be authorized, except upon
requisition by the proper authority, and
after the means under the control of that
authority have been exhausted.

CANADIAN MODES oP LEoIsLArIoN.-
They are having very lively times just now
in the Canadian Parliament. Not long
since we were called upon to record a reg
ular knock down fight upon the floor Of
the House, and now it seems there has
been another disgraceful affair in the same
chamber, during which n Of the mem
bers, speaking on the subject Of the Fe-
nian invasion, was hooted down, and his
speech silenced by yells and songs and
choruses, and the member himself was
pelted with paper bullets. We think it
right to mention these occurrences, be-
similar affairs offar less consequence
in our own halls Of legislation, and occa-
sional rencontres outside Of the House be-
tween members, are dwelt upon with great
JUNCTION by the British press, and BY its
echoes IN the British North American Pro-
vinces, as evidences Of the demoralizing
and disorganiziug effects of republican in
stitutions. The fact is, that scenes are
constantly occurring in the British Parlia-
ment, and IN the Colonial Legislature, in
the way of yelling, coughing, sneezing,
stamping, groaning, growing, and in the
production Of noises Of every imaginable
sort, for the purpose of sitting unwel-
come speeches, that would shock even the
most boisterous Of those who attend our
Far Western Legislatures. Our cousins
across the water, however, are so accus-
toned to searching for the notes in Amer
ican eyes, that they have no power Of
vision for the beams in their own.
