The Horse RAILRoAD.-The horse
railroad announced last week, has brought
out sour Boston correspondent" Hear
him -
Mr.. EDITOR Us the Horse Rail Road
to be established for the purpose of dis
tributng the fish from our Lake? If it
is, would it not be policy on the part of
its stockholders to allow Mr.. Geo. Ryder,
the present Treasurer of the Lake Com
pany to be its superintendent Mr.. Ry-
der not only has the ability and ambition
TO start and drive the cars, but the affa-
bility to conduct one or the whole; besides,
he has claims upon the town which are
generally allowed and win always be, if
people are grateful.
If the Horse Railroad is to be run to
connect with the Grafton road, Ryder and
desire TO have nothing to do with it
The Grafton road refuse TO bring Soap
stone for our dam, except at rate ruinous
to our interests. Ryder refuses to pay
such charges, and is unanimously sustained
by our directors in his decision.
Mr.. Ry der is Democrat, of so many
Yeas standing that / forget whether the
Democratic party was known or started
when he began the advocacy of democrat
&c principles. And now that the old par
ty, Of which George was SO long pillar
in Rockingham, lies PROSTATE in the mud,
he wipes away tear now and then to
solace his feelings, as he contemplates the
"glory Of departed days" when demo-
cratic rum was drank. and democrats were
pack, d loosely in Hayden's bar room at
the middle of the town. But however
low the party may be wallowing, Ryder
stands forth as the representative of YER
mont democracy as it was, and as his fond
dreams picture it will yet be.
You must pardon me for pulling politics
into the cars of this Horse Rail Road en-
terprise, but only do so to save trouble
hereafter. should not offer his name for
superintendent, and i do not think he
would accept the position, if it was known
that niggers were to be allowed to occupy
seats in the cars. White men are a supe-
rior race, and as democrats we shall assert
the right of brain to govern if we manage
the road. If the stockholders of the
Horse Rail Road desire his services, the
platform Of principles on which it will be
conducted is before them.
only offer his name in connection with
the position, solely from the reason that l
desire him TO be receiving modest livli-
hood until such time as the Mount Kilburn
Lake b, gins to pay its semi-annual divi-
dends. iARRY's Boy.

The latest news from Washington is
that Secretary Stanton refuses to resign,
and that the President will suspend him
from the exercise of his duties as Secre-
tary Of War. Stanton declares that he
won't even do that on account of the
Civil Tenure bill, and it is reported the
President has further notified him not to
attempt any more cabinet meetings.
The jury got the Surratt case in their
hands at IL O'Clock on Wednesday, and at
10 o'clock Wednesday night there was no
prospect Of an immediate agreement.

Registration.

The Selectmen of this town have post
ed up a check list of all the voters of
Rockingham, and will meet 10 this village
on Friday the 30th day of this month TO
make corrections. This check list is main
ly of interest TO the two political parties
of the town, and they shonld see to it that
their voters are all on the list, as if they
are not on by the 5oth inst. they cannot
vote at the election following. This check
list will we think be found to be matter
of convenience, as it will save all wrang-
ling on the day of election, after the vot-
ing has commenced, as to who are legal
voters.

LUXUMBURG SOLD TO FRANCE.

The Duchy Said to Have Been Sold to
France by Holland Without the Com
sent of Pruss1a-Em pOrtance of the
CesslOn-The Relations Between France
and Prussia.
BERLIN, March l7.-An extremely grave piece
of intelligence has Just reached us from Paris,
which will no doubt shortly be in circulation
in every European newspaper. really cannot
vouch for the truth of the following state
ject in the best informed diplomatic
circles in Berlin, but I give it you Just as it is
transmitted from a well-informed cores
pondent in Paris:-'The highest diplomatic
circles in this city are filed with rumor that
Holland has sold the Duchy Of Luxemburg to
France without any iDtimation of the matter
having been made to the Prussian Government.
This news, which originates from four different
quarters, equally well informed and quite inde-
pendent of one another, cannot be dlscredited,
however unwilling people may be to receive so
important an item of intelligence. Should it
be officially confirmed, it will be found that
Prussia has been taken by surprise. More
over, the relations between the Cabinets
of Berlin and the Tuileries are not go
friendly at the present moment as might
be supposed from Napoleon's last speech
restoration of the North Schieswig districts to
Denmark is seriously taken up by the French
Government, as well as the French people, and
the greatest Indignation is manifested at the
want of good faith shown by Prussia towards
helpless Denmark in a matter in which she had
bound herself by the treaty of Prague to act
with Justice and equity 1t cannot be concealed
that the entourdqe OF the Emperor Napoleon
becomes more warlike every day, and the
Marshal now Minister of War, is ready and
willing echo of the sentiments OF the war party.
General Goudrecourt, the new Governor Of
the military school of St. Cyr, seems to
be working in concert with the Court
party. In his instructions to the pupils, he
frequently urges upon them the necessity of
learning German, and at the same time he does
all in his power to fan their hatred and excite
their national pride against Prussia. Hopes are
entertained that peace will be preserved this
wear; but those even who entertain these hopes
do not conceal from themselves that the main
tenance of peace is in great measure due to
the International Exhibition, and the want Of
preparation of the French troops for coping
with the expert handlers of the needle.gun."
The importance of the above intelligence can
hardly be Overestimated. If true, Napoleon
can say, 81 am reveuged for Barritz," He will
have turned the tables upon Bismark, and will
have played him trick quite as neat and quite
as clever as the Prussian Minister'S evasion of
the compact entered into with Nap at the
Spanish watering-place. But besides that, If
true, Europe may prepare with perfect CONT
dence for war. 1t will only be step nearer to
one another taken by combatants ardent for the
fray, and the German people who have hitherto
held back will then hold back no longer, and
the tug of war 1t was hoped to avoid will come
at last,-N. Y. World.
