The National Intelligencer says:-lt was
stated at the office of the Quartermaster Gen
eral of the United States Army, on Saturday,
that on this day the working of the Winchester,
Virginia, railroad would pass into the hands Of
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company
They do not take the Government rolling stock.
We are surprised at this announcement, since
that it was but few days ago the Direc-
,ors of said road announced at meeting for
the choice of officers, that it was expedient to
form connection with the Loudoun and Hamp~
shire road at or near Harper Ferry also, that
it was expedient to extend the road southwark
to Strasburg, and thence, as we understand it,
to the Manassas Gap railroad, so that the pro-
ducts of the Valley Nigh reach Alexandria. =
1t is to be hoped that there may be free transit
to Baltimore, bur we can hardly conceive that
the Directors of the road in behalf Of the State
Of Virginia: have allowed the entire control Of
the Winchester read to pass into the hands Of
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company
We hope to sec some satisfactory statement in
this regard by our Alexandria contemporaries.
We can give no information on the subject,
not being Informed Of the movements that have
taken place.

RoBDEe1Es. On Saturday night last the
store OF Messrs. Henderson 4 Brothers,
corner of King and Alfred streets, was entered
BY burglars, and robbed Of money and goods to
the amount, as far as is now known, of $500,
or 5000 The robbers entered, by pricing open
the side door on Alfred street. They seem to
have been experts and pro6cients, and must
have gone through their work very leisurely,
using lighted candle to see by, and selecting
and carrying off the best articles in the
store-srch as Java Coffee, Tea, Tobacco, &C.,
o. &c. TIE money in the drawer to the amount
of $50 was taken-among it quite number
Of cents. On the same night the Periodical
store of Mr.. Siggers, near the corner Of King
and Pitt streets, was forcibly entered by rob
bers, through the door in the rear Of The store,
who stole all the change in the money drawer,
aud number Of albums, packs Of playing
cards, bundles of lead pencils, &c. No clue
has yet been obtained to the perpetrators of
either of these daring robberes, committed
upon houses situated on the principal street in
town, and in thickly settled neighborhoods
In addition to the above We learn that the house
Of Mr.. Chas Kelley was robbed some time
between Saturday and Sunday nights Of $780,
in money, and some silver spoons; and Mr..
Thomas Sinclair was robbed, also, Saturday
night, of some $50.

A NEWLY MARRIED COUPLE NEARLY Dnowx

NEWLY MARRIED COUPLE NEARLY DROWN
Ep.-We gather from the Newton Banner the
following particulars of narrow escape from
drowning on the part of bride and groom
Mr.. David Moody and Mrs. West, of Prairie
City, were married at Newton last Thursday
by the County Judge, and next day they start,
ed for Monroe in two horse buggy. Atnoon
on the same day, the team was found on an
island in Skunk river, some distance below the
bridge, and the buggy some hundred yards
further down, by traveller, who took the
horses back to Newton. He told the story
of his discovery, and Immediately party OF
gentlemen, with skiff, ropes, and other arti-
cles, started in search of the bodies of the
couple who were supposed to be drowned. The
party arrived in the vicinity of the bridge, and
found the river nearly half {: mile wide, swol-
len to this unusual size by the almost constant
rains of the few days preceding. They found
the place where the buggy had evidently been
upset, the water here being about fifteen feet
deep. They explored around some time and
found the lady's basket, an umbrella, and two
buffalo robes and finally q gentleman shout
ed to them from the opposite side of the river,
informing them that the missing couple had
safely crossed the channel of the river. and af-
ter wading neck. deep for q quarter OF q mile,
and travelling nearly mile further, they
reached house where they were properly
cared for.-Reyister.

A party Of four men started from
Fort Ridgley for Fort Wordsworth on
the 9th ult. On the 18th . terrible
snow storm set in. and in short time
huge drifts had formed 30 that the men
found it impossible to proceed. They
were literally snowed under. In at

were frost-bitten. They then abandon

Of them in one direction and two in an
other ia search Of the Minnesota river
bottom. Nothing was heard Of them
until the 10Th ult. when an Indian scout
discovered two of them, Benjamin
Franklin and Thomas Lamrose in the
high grass about twenty five miles
from where they left the team. These
men were still alive struggling against
the shafts Of cold and starvation.
They had then been nine days without
food aud without fire, their limbs hav-
ing been 60 badly frozen that neither
locomotion nor manipulation were pos
sible. Onr informant and Major John
Brown came up to them while on their
way to Fort Ridgley. and had them

Christmas day. At the time they
were discovered they were liz miles

Newspaper Publishers in Trouble.

The newspapers throughout the
country are complaining of the excess
sively high rates charged for printing
paper What before the war could he
bought for nine to ten cents per pound,
and was thought dear at that price now
commands nearly three times th t
amount. During the war this might
be borne as necessary evil. coDse-
quent upon the appreciation of gold,
and the scarcity of suitable material
for paper stock, but with the cessa-
ton of hostiities and the decline in
gold, it is difficult to understand the
reason for the continued high price of
paper. Instead of diminishing, it APP
pears to increase. An article of such
universal use ought TO be produced at
the lowest possible cost. The paper
makers, it would seem, desire to con-
troll the price of this indispensable
material, and being comparatively
few in number, the charge of combin-
alton appears to have some foundation.
Meanwhile the journals are increasing
the price ofsubscription.-Chicago Iri-
bnne
And yet Congress persists in main
tanning the prohibitory tariff by which
the paper makers are enriched at the
cost of paper publishers and paper
readers throughout the Union! The
simple fact is, the small publishers are
being ruined and their papers crowded
out of circulation by the protection"
afforded to paper makers. The pub
fishers of the New York and metropo.
Titan papers can make their advertisers
pay the continual advance in the price
of printing paper, while publishers Of
country papers have no resource but
to increase the rate Of subscription.
The result is that all our smaller news
papers are in danger Of being swallow
ed up by their large city rivals. How
long will Congress sanction this evil !?
