Our HempneId RRIIrOad...A PROPOSE.
ton TO Push IL Through to AN East
ern Outlet.
Special Correspondence Pittsburgh Commercial
UNIoNTowN, Nov. p, 1866.
We learn from an article in your
paper of the 18th inst, COPIED from the
Wheeling Iatetuigeneer,) that the Bal
timore and Ohio Railroad Company
has leased for a term of years, the Cen
trail Ohio Railroad, and will at once
put 1t in complete running order. This
result must be gratifying to the friends
of the latter railroad, who have so long
been deprived of any profits from the
earnings of the Company, owing to the
/ imperfect condition of the road and
the want of good connections eastward.
/ The result also shows the Hberality
| of the Baltimore and Ohio Rail-
road Company TO u rival road. This
disposition we hope to see more
fully developed in the completion of
the COnnellsVille Railroad, and also IA
rapidly finished connection with the
! Central Ohio Railroad Uia the Hempfield
at Wheeling. The distance from the
Connellsville Road near West Newton
to Wheeling Did the proposed and part
ly finished Hempheld, is iifty-seven
miles, whilst the distance between the
same points by way of Pittsburgh and
Pan Handle is eighty-five miles, leav-
! ing twenty-eight miles in favor OF the
former or Hemptield route. Only
twenty-seven miles of the Hempfield
| remain TO be finished, and that portion
will open up to the East and West the
/ greatest bituminous coal region in the
world-the MOnUngahela Valley. The
interests OF Wheeling, with its half
million of stock, and Washington
county, with its two hundred thousand,
and its individual slock, making it
half million, demand that the road be
finished.
We believe that the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad Company would take in
hand the Hempfield, If the directors
and friends of said road will only hold
out sufficient inducements. 1t is the
interest of the Baltimore and Ohio road
TO secure the coal trade of the Monon-
gahela, and this they can easily accom-
plish by securing the completion of the
Hemptield, and by running "A branch
up the Monongahela river. 1t is said,
however. that the completion of the
CHARTERS Valley Railroad to Washing
ton Will supercede the necessity of the
Hempheld. This view of the case is
narrow and puerile, and is the very
course TO pursue to retard progress in
any project. Let railroads be built
wherever capital seeks Investment.
We call upon all interested to see to it
that this favorable opportunity for Sc
curing the completion of the Hempfield
railroad is not neglected, which, of
itself, can never be in condition to
redeem itself from its present embar-
rassHents. FAYETTE.

THE INTERVIEW BETWEEN GENERAL
SPINNER AND THE REBEL GEN. JOHN
soN.-The Washington correspondent
of the Tribune says: "a very amusing
scene occurred to-day in the Office of
Gen. Spinner, the United States Treas
urer. General Edward johnson, who
commanded n division of soldiers in the
rebel army, visited the Office of General
Spinner this morning, and presented n
claim against the United States govern
ment for some four hundred dollars.
Itseems that this amount was due him
AS major of regiment in the United
states service, which position he desert
ed, and entered the rebel army at the
breaking out OF the war. Before leav-
ing the service he presented his vouch-
er to United States paymaster for
payment, and Il draft for the amount
was sent him; but before it reached him
he had fled and entered the service of
the COniederacy. Having received a
pardon from the President, he now laws
claim to the old balance as due him.
After General Spinner had heard his
case he salutcd cX General johnson
something in this style: 4 don't see
how you can make such Il claim as this.
Nou deserted your government, and
ever since have been stealing every
thing You could lay your hands on and
robbing her of her property. You now
make II claim for back pay. If under
stand the law, desertion makes for
feiture of all pay and allowances due
at the time, or what may hereafter be-
come due To this General Johnson
replied that MIR. Spinner was mistaken,
and that he did not consider what he
did, desertion or robbery; that he did
what he considered right, and demand
ed the payment OF his claim. General
Spinner replied second time that he
considered that he (Johnson) had been
stealing from the United States govern
ment for four years, and did not deserve
the amount claimed, and that he would
not pay il. Mr.. johnson lett silently,
but evidently chngrined and crestial-

The Fictitious Life of she Former and

The New York Journal of Commerce
notes the tendency of the country pop
ulation to crowd into the cities. 1t
says:
This is partly the result of the
splendid opportunities to accumulate
large fortunes, without effort, which
the city has seemed to afford these last
few years. Almost every village and
hamlet in the country has known Of
some person who came to Wall street
poor, and in "a few months was report
ed to have made a fabulous amount of
wealth. Those hundreds who, for eve
ry one that has been successful, have
been irretrievably ruined, are forgot

tunes are attributed to their own errors
of Judgment, which the next adyentu-
rer IS confident he will never fall into.
The result has been 10 lead
many, especially the young, to
leave villages and farms for CITY life.
The present scarcity of labor is by
some attributed to the war. To GER
tain extent this is true, though not in
the sensein which it is generally meant
by loss of men, for all the losses have
been counterbalanced by immigration
and the advance of children to working
age. But whatever the cause, the fact
is unQuestionable that the rural dis
tricts need population, and the supply
does not equal the demand. Farmers
find it difficult TO plant their crops, and
still more so to gather them. In travel

tricts of New York or New England,

found composed of only the "old peo-

Will the Decline Reach wheeling ?

Will the Decline Reach wheeling?
We notice the following paragraph
in the Pittsburgh Commercial of Thurs
day last:
I'm our city market yesterday the re-
TAIL prices of meats took fall, and
ruled from three to four cents lower for
all descriptions"
No one noticed any symptoms of that
decline in our markets on Wednesday,
the day the fall occurred at Pittsburgh.
On the contrary, the prices established
when gold was up to about 80, were
still asked with as much assurance
AS ever. And this, too, notwithstand-
ing the market was Overstocked in near
ly every department. We presume that
the butchers consider that it would be
disrespectful to their customers to take
the initiative in reducing prices. They
are waiting for their customers to de-
mnnd reduction. Apparently our
people have become so benumbed by
high prices for marketing, that it never
occurs to them any more to think about
possible reduction. They take it for
granted that they are hopeless victims
and need never expect any relief. 1t
would be well enough to rouse up n
little in this matter, and inquire mod
estly from the butchers when we NAV
expect the fall that has occurred, and is
occurring, everywhere else, to reach
Wheeling?

THOSE Democratic organs which are
not sufficiently occupied in proving the
late election victory, are engaged in
explaining the causes of defeat. The
New York Commercial summing up
these, which are various, unsatisfncto-
ry and contradictory, gives plainly the
true reason, which is, that tho Dem
Ocratic leaders identified themselves
with the rebels, and nominated for of
flee men who, if they had not actually
participated in the attempt to break up
the government, had fully sympathizcd
with II. This is the reason why the
people will not trust the government
in the hands of the Democratic party,
That party encouraged the rebellion in
tho beginning, symPathiZed with it in
its progress, and after its defeat enden-
Vored to reconstruct the government on
the theories that were overthrown bv
arms. There are honorable exceptions
Some of the most earnest supporters of
the government, many of the most gal
liant soldiers of the war, We're Demo-
Gratis; but the organization was and is
against the country. And the country
has triumPhed over it, and will triumph
over it again. II the Democratic party
changes its entire programme, as the
Chicago Times recommends it may
come up again.

THE WESTERN Corn CRoP.-In gath
ering the corn crop of the West the fact
is revealed that the damage sustained
by frost and floods early in the autumn
is much greater than had generally
been expected. The Chicago Republi-
can says: I'VE have met and talked
with farmers representing nearly the
entire corn region affected by frost, and
the uniform testimony is that the crop
is deprecated fully One-third. Its val
ne, If not the aggregate amount, is so
deprecated. Development ceased with
the coming of frost. Had the corn been
cut up prior 10 the frost, when in its
growing state, and shocked, the result
would have been different even with
the succeeding wet. For then the
juices in the stock would have been
eliminated. But there was not sun
enough Rfterward to do the work which
must needs be done in order to give sub
stance to the kernel. Such is the tcsti-
mony of farmers. The great fact should
not be lost sight of, however, that the
great breadth OF ground seeded was in
excess of that of any pevious year, aud
that the damage by frost and wet did
not extend nearly over the great grow
ing region"
