RAIlRuAp MEETIHa Az suHsuRY.

SCSBLHA3 O-s JAN U 1coo-
The citizens of Berkshire and adjoin-
ing townships met this day at the NJ. Z.
Church in SEnbury. G. Armstrong was
called to the Chair. and E. Brown ap-
pointed Secretary. The object of the
meeting being to ascertain the sentiments
of the people in regard to having a Rail
road, from Bellefontaine to Newark, run
ming through our neighbOrhoOd.
On motion of 4. j. Smith, a committee
was appointed to draft resolutions express
siye of the sentiments of the meeting IN
regard to the proposed Railroad, who re-
reported the following, which were unan-
imously adopted:
WHEREAS, Our immediate section OF
country is destitute of the numerous ad-
vantages that are enjoyed by those parts
having Railroads; and whereas, we believe
4 railroad from Bellefontaine to Della
ware, and thence to Newark. would be a
paving investment to those bUildingit, in
asmuch as it would pass through a rich
country and possess connections inferior
to but few. uniting as 1t does the mineral
regions of the southeast to the lumber
and stock regions of the northwest by a
short and feasible route, abOunding IN
building material; therefore
ResOICed, That we are unanimously IN
favor of the construction of such a road,

cry reasonable way, in locating and build
ing said road.

dignity of our position and with the depth
of our feeling.
In these as well as in other ways, the
late war has brought great burdens upon
our State, but its prosperity has been such
that they have been born without ImpOy-
ishing our people or strainlng the public
resources. Our State debt has been dI
minished during this very period of COM
the community and the success of bust
ness enterprise, that we see on every hand
the evidences of accumulating wealth.
Ohio, &" the frst-born of the ordinance Of
l7S7, has been true to the principles of
that great act Of craftsmanship, which dedi-
Gated the northwestern territory to free
dom and labor, and now more than ever
before Is realizing the benefits of the
wisdom which then launched her upon a
career Of unexampled growth under the
auspices Of religion. intelligence and
freedom
A different policy, based upon false
and unjust system of labor, has brought
forth its matured fruit of rebellion, fol-
lowed by desolation and ruin. God grant
that the lesson so sternly taught by ex-
perience may be wisely leared by all, and
that the return to the right path may
everywhere speedily rusult in such
abounding happiness and well-being that
past strifes and suferings may be forgot

The Memphis appeal, an original Sc
cession paper, is driven by tress of cir
cumstanoes to make the following refec-
teons:
1T is useless to disguise the situation
of the Southern people any longer
They and their destinies are utterly at the
mercy of the Federal Government to
shape-to make or to mar as that Gov
ernment pleases. And, although it is uni
versally conceded, that the policy adopt
ed by the President toward them has been
unexpectedly liberal and magnanimous,
attracting even the favorable comment of
all those intelligent Europeans who SYM
pathized with them during their tremend-
Gus struggle, yet this. iberality and this
magnanimity should not be presumed upon
too far-aS seems to be the tendency an GER
tain quarters, and the acquisitions" made
Of them should never be for one moment
lost sight of or forgotten. Beyond all
peradventure or possibility of evasion,
they must be yielded promptly-or the
South is hopelessly doomed to another
long and indefinite period of military rule
and martial law"

The following resolutions were adopt
ed at the recent meeting of the Ohio State
Agricultural Society:
On motion of S. D. Ha iris, of the Ohio
Farmer, it was resolved, without discus
sion that,
WHEREAS, The interests of agriculture
in the United States demand change in
the head of the national Department of
Agriculture at Washington, the President
of the United States be respectfully and
earnestly requested to appoint Hon. Nor
ton S. Townsend, of Ohio as Commits
siOner of Agriculture.
It was, after protracted discussion,
ReSolUed, That improvement in agri-
culture, horticulture and the mechanic
arts is the main object of county societies,
and they should exclude from their fairs
all such trumpery as swings, side shows,
peddlers, &c.
It-was contened by many that they were
necessary, in order to draw attendance and
enable the fairs to pay expenses. 1t was
also
Resolged, That County Commissioners
should be required by law to contribute to
agricultural societies an amount equal to
what may be contributed by individuals
for the purchase and improvement of
county fair grounds.

A number of the Democratic leaders met
in Columbus last Monday night for the
purpose of celebrating the annive rsary OF
the battle of New Orleans. The principal
speakers were Vallangdigh CHAM, Morgan and

sad contrast with similar gatherings in
years 'Iang syne," when the Democratic
party was vital organization, and as gen

IessIy PROSTATE. Considering their course
during the late war, it is an insult to the
memory of the old hero of New Orleans
to have such men as VaIlandigham and

sembIed to celebrate the day upon which
he won victory and renown in a contest
with the enemies of his country.
