RAILRoADs.-W We mentioned few weeks
since that contracts had been made for the con-
struction of the European and North Ameri-
can Railway from Bangor to Winn. We now
learn that the work is to be commenced imme-
diately and that contracts are initiated for the
lumber for bridges, &C., ON the route We are
pleased to see this evidence of vitality, and
trust that the road may be pushed to compile
ton with all possible dispatch. Meanwhile
we hope that our Dexter and Dover friends
will be pushing their road to Newport
We also hope that the Buckfield road will
be pushed to Canton, which will give direct
communication with Portland of business
which now goes to Boston via Bath. +4
The Portland & Rochester road is one that
our peoDle should not suffer to be delayed in
its construction. If the merchants and capi-
talists of Portland ever intend to rid them
selves of the monopoly and the vexation occa-
stoned by the running Of trains on the roads
from this city to Boston. and to have trains
run for the convenience and interest of Port
nd rather than Boston, they must take hold
and push the Rochester road to completion
The Maine Central Directors, as we learn
are surveying a route from Danville junction
to this city There is no reason why that road
should be dependent upon the Grand Trunk,
and we hope they will complete their project

A CALL has been issued in Indiana, signed
by large number of prominent men who
voted for LINCOLN and JOHNSON in 1864,
for State Convention to sustain the res
toration policy of President JOHNSON. We
regard this movement as bright indication
for the future. The Republican State Con-
vention, which assembled at indianapolis
about the close of March, was controlled by
the Radical element, and the resolutions
adopted applauded the course of the Radical
majority in Congress. TIE Conservative
members in that body struggled bravely
against the resolutions, but, as we have said,
they were overpowered; and we are glad to
find that they, like the conservative Repub-
licans in Connecticut, are resolved to repudi-
ate the radical element and assume the posi-.
ton ofunequivocal support of President JOHN
SON.

When did these "Radioals thrash any

undertook to Nhrash" some "traitors" at Bull
RIM but it is on record that the thrashing
was on the other side. We should be glad to
learn of any Radical, from GREELrY and

oeen In the pnst; and so it will be in the fu-
ture, if our people display this virtue of
adaPtaoility, and do not permit themselves to
be hampered and impeded in their contest by
old notions, prejudioes, IN obstinate pride,
and vain and weakening contests with inevi
tsole events and consequences. In this spirit
we should not fear OF deprecate rivalry or
competition of any sort. All manifestations
of hostility, of prejudice, or of contempt, OF
jealousy, for other people who como among
US to embark in the battle of life, are dis
creditable to our manhood.
We should scorn to claim any advanta &c
from the accident of our position. We should
shrink from no contest with any people who
may enter the lists of honest rivalry with us
in any of the employmsnts of human ambi-
ton and energy. Let us learn from them.
and profit by whatever they may bring of
ideas, skill and habits which NAV be useful
or valuable. Let US try and beat them in
their new field. We cannot afford, even, if
such course were ever 30 wise, to despise
any class of men who may contribute to our
source of knowledge and experience. Let us
rememher the memorable examples of the
polished and philosophio Greoians, who, when
conquered by the superior force of the Ro-
mans, turned their defeat into substantia al
victory by impressing their ideas, their Gus
toms, their philosophy and their literature
upon their naughty oonquerors. This they
did by process of assimilation and of pol
icy-of wise adaptability to circumstances.
This can never be done by course of naughty
contempt, timorous jealousy, OF vain and USE
less strife and prejudice.

THE ENEMIES OF SOCIAL ORDER.

The Washington correspondent Of q Boston
paper says that the South is overrun by en-
issaries from the North, who are encouraging
the negroes to form secret associations and
to make public parades, demonstrations and
celebrations-and in Richmond they are often
overbearing and insulting to the whites, which
provokes retaliation and riots. Gen. TERRY
says there is now probably over hundred of
these semi-seoret organizations among the
blacks in Richmond, and the names thew as-
sumo are often ludicrous and blasphemous,
one being styled the "Holy Sons of God"
There can be no doubt that the whole ten
dency of these teachings of Radical agents
in the South is inimical to kindly relations
between the whites and the blacks. The first
thing instilled into the mind of the negro is
that the Northern people are peculiarly his
friends, that they it is who rescued them from
q CALLING bondage, and wish to give them ed
uoation, respectability and position, the argu-
ment involving the implication-if it be not
directly taught--that the Southern people
are inimical to the negro and wish to deprive
him of his rights and privileges. =;
There is no telling what the South will
come to if these moral reformers and Black
Republican crusaders continue their work
amongst us. That a war of races will be
the result, we have serious fears. 1t is the
Legitimate offspring of their universal equal
ity teachings, and when it comes, we only
hope they may be found at their posts to bear
their share of the conflict.

RoBBERY AND DEATR.-Some weeks ago
a young man named WEBSTER, whose
home was somewhere in the north part Of
the State, was put of the cars at Worth
ingtOn because he had no money to pay
his fare. He started north on the rail-
road track afoot, and was accompanied or
followed by an Irishman named McCOR-
NICK. Soon after arriving within the linn
its of this county, Webster was struck on
the back part of the head with a stone,
knocked down, and robbed OF few cents
in money and his carpet-sack, containing
his clothes, etc. Soon after, Mccormick
was arrested not far from where the as
sauIt and robbery occurred, and the prop
erty found in his possession. He was COM
mitted to our jail, where he now remains
awaiting trial. Webster remained at q
house in the neighborhOod of the occur
renee in a very precarious condition till a
few days since, when his friends under
took to take him home, but he was unable
to stand the journey and died on the way.

THE SOUTH: A Tour OF its Battle Fields
and Ruined Cities, a Journey Through the
DesOlated States, and Talks with the
People.
The above is the title of new work,
which is essentially different from any
other book to which the late war has given
rise, being a description of the present
state of the country and condition of the
people, ETC., etc, from personal observa-
ton and experience, during months of
Southern travel. BY J. T. Trowbridge,
author of Neighbor lakewood, Cudjo's
Cave, Contributor to the Atlantic Monthly,
&c. The high reputation of the author as
a sprightly writer, and the superior faciI-
tiles he enjoyed for informing himself
on the subjects he discusses, afford salts
factory assurance that the work will be
one of absorbing interest and great pOpu-
larity. 1t is to be got up in the best style
of Typography, illustrated with numerous
well-executed engravings, and will com
prise a volume of about 600 octave pages.
Mr.. SHIPMAN has procured the agency
for this county, and is now canvassing for
subscribers. We commend both the agent
and the book to the favorable consideration
of our readers.

The Newark AdUOeate gives the subjoin-
ed information in regard to the man con-
fined in the Jail of that county, who last
fall stole from AIessrs. E. r. THOMPSON q
Son, of this place, carriage and span of
horses, which were afterwards recovered
at Circleville. 1t seems he is a veteran
offender in that line:
Elijah Metz, the horse thief, who was
arrested by officer Griffith a few weeks
since, of which we gave an account at the
time, seems to be monOmaniac. He has
already served five terms in the Peniten-
tiary, and he stands a fair chance of being
convicted again. He has confessed to steal
ing horse and buggy from Wiley & White
last spring; also Of stealing a team in
GAINESVILLE, and team in Marietta. The
Marietta team he sold in Toledo-the team
passed through here last Thursday, the
owner having found it in Toledo as Metz
stated. The Wiley & White horse and
buggy he sold in Louisville, Ky, and has
not yet been found. The GAINESVILLE team.
which he also sold in Louisville, Ky, has
been found. He also stole a horse and
buggy in Delaware last summer.

FATAL ACoIDENT.-Last Saturday Mrs.
CHARLOTTE THRAsHER, wife of EnOch
Thrasher, residing on Boxes Creek, in
Thompson township, was crushed and in
stantly killed by the falling Of porch at
tached to the house in which the family
resided. The porch was a dilapidated af-
fair, propped up to prevent falling, and
the supports gave way, bringing the struc-
ture down on Mrs. T. while she was en-
gaged in her domestic avocatiOns. When
the accident occurred the only member of
the family present beside the deceased and
an infant, was little girl, and when Mr..
T., who was at work in the woods some
distance from the house, reached the scene
of the accident, he found the body of his
wife rigid in death, and so firmly imbed-
ded among the fallen timbers that it re-
quired considerable labor with an axe to
extricate it. Mrs. T. was an estimable
lady, aged about As years, and the mother
of a large family of children, two of whom,
BY a. former husband, did gallant service
in the army during the late war.
