New Railroad Car.

A novel style of rail car, carrying its
own track, and designed for use on COM
mon roads or the streets of city, was
shown at Philadelphia very recently
In this vehicle the car moves the wheels
instead Of the wheels moving the car,
aud the wheels cannot touch the ground
at all. There are six pairs of wheels,
and each pair has a broad, fiat foot at
tacbed. These :" feet" rest upon the
ground and bear up the wheels, while
the two rails under the body of the car
are made to roll along the upper surface
of the tire as if it were passing over so
many pulIeys or friction rollers. The
feet and wheels are all connected by an
endless chain, and as fast as the body of
the car passes beyond one Of these feet
it is lifted from the ground and made to
travel along to the front of the car,
where it drops on the road again, and
the whole is thus kept in continual
motion. The wheel truck in fact walks
along the road, while the car itself rolls
along after the wheels

A prattv Littla Romance.

A Louisianan fell in love with girl
in New York, just before the war. She
was too young then, and he never told
his love, but went home and fought in the
rebel army. He returned to New York
last winter, was still in love-so was she
but not a word, for be was poor and
had a small salary. He became melan-
choly and wrote letter to his fair one,
to be given her by friend after his sp-
preaching death. Was coming from
Albany on the Dean Richmond The
friend heard of the disaster, and thought
the lover had gone up, or down, and
rushed around with the letter. The lady
swooned. Lover returned safe Heard
of the effects of the letter. They are now
married

The shadowed path We came;
And yet-and YETI almost think
Although can't tell why,

We're ours -my love andi.

Those blissful hours again.,
And ere hoard them In my heart'

The biuehel s hung their fair young heads
Reneath the uer sky
We talked of trivial, common things
We talked-my love 6nd l.
And onee how well I know the spot
We stopped beside the brook.
And saw the gurgling waters as
Their sunlit way they took.
NV eyes met his. the soul OF love
In that brief glance did lie,
NV eye,iis drOoped-we watched the stream
Flow past-my love and 1.
And now, I've nothing more TO say;
MY heart won't let me tell
The silent talk our spirits had,
The charm that DER us fell.

Although can't tell why,
His love Is mine. and mine IS his;

The Veto OF the Military Bhl.
Itis expected that the veto Of the Military
Government bill will be sent in on "Wednesday.
It is given out that the President may permit
the Tenure of Office bill to become law with
out his signature.
The Tariff Bill.
There has been warm contest in the House
over the motion of Mr. Morrill, TO refer the Tariff
bill TO a Committee OF Conference. Various mo-
tions have been made, intended TO bind the
Committee of Conference to specific action on
the rate of duty on certain articles and particu-
larly on Bituminous Coal.
After considerable debate the House refused
to suspend the rules to take the Tariff bill from
the Committee OF the Whole, and refer it to the
Committee of Conference.
TO do so required q two-thirds vote, and IL
stood yeas 81. nays SO. This is considered as a
test vote, and as conclusive that no action will
be taken on the Tariff bill this session.
The Georgetown Election.
The election in Georgetown day, for Mayor
and Common Council, being the first in this
district under the Negro Suffrage bill, excited
much interest, and some trouble was appre-
hended at the polls, but all has been quiet thus
far. One hundred and fifty policemen were
sent from this city to maintain order.
The negroes are voting in large numbers, and
the indications are that Charles ID. Welsh, the
negro-suffrage candidate for Mayor, will be
elected by about one hundred majority over
Henry Addison, the present Incumbent.
The negrO-suffrage candidates for City Coun-
ellis will probably be defeated,

STAUNTON---MR. MUNSEY.

The following are extracts from the letter of a
correspondent of the Richmond Dispatch:
1.-THE town of Staunton is beautiful for situa-
called the gem of the mountains For good or
der sobrety, and intelligence, it enjoys an envi-
able name. 1t is rapidly extending its limits,
and is probably the scene of activity and
enterprise than any town in the Valley. Large
quantities of -four daily arrive here; the most of
which, observe, is shipped to Richmond The
hotel accommodations are excellent The Vir-
ginia Hotel, where we tarried for short time. is
deservedly popular. More accommodating and
polite servants we have never seen in any hotel.
ance of the Rev. VIM. E. Munsey, whose pulpit
efforts have attracted so much attention through
out the State. We have not had the pleasure of
hearing him preach, but would judge from our
intercourse with him in the social circle that the
strength of his great intellect has not been
rated He possesses mind of great analytical
and logical power, and one cannot converse with
him without being impressed with its comprehen-
siveness.
Mr. Munsey, in appearance, is rather remark
able. His head is nearly hairless; cheek bones
prominent; chin narrow; eyes very penetrating
and restless nose sharp; head unusually large,
and his brow remarkably broad and high, with
iutting promontories of thought on either side
He is about six feet two inches high, and very
slender He is at present in feeble health, and is
now travelling in the mountains seeking to i'm
nrove it. He is close student, and very thor
OUCH in his preparation for the pulpit. Besides,
Mr. Munsey is an humble and artiess Christian.
His amialle disposition endears him to his friends,
ond adds an additional lustre to his character

REV. WIN. E. MUNSEY.

| This distinguished and eloquent divine preach
ed in the Methodist Church Of this place in the
morning on Sunday last. His text was;
| s'Be sure your sin acill find you out
and is contained in the 23rd verse of the 32nd
| chapter of Numbers which reads as follows:
| "But if We will not do so, behold We have sim
ned against the Lord and be sure your sin will
find you out"
The church was crowded. and notwithstanding
the great expectations excited by the fame of the
minister we are sure there was not one in the
congregation whose exalted expectations were
not more than realized. possesses remarkable
intellectual powers, which enable him to analyze
the most difficult and abstruse metaphysical and
abstract propositions in combination with strong,
vigorous, fertile imagination which enables him
to illustrate in the most successful and satisfactory
manner the propositions established by the vigor
and force of his logic. His sermons are so u
nique ESQ different from those they have been &C
customed to hear, so strong in argument and 30
brilliant with graphic pictured illustrations, that
| his hearers are lost in wonder and admiration
Their minds are blinded qcith erceSsive light AS
the vivid flashes of lightning blind the physical
eye so do the coruscations of his diamond-like
thoughts and the effulgence of his brilliant i'm
agery and FURNISHED fancy blind the mental eye.
Having read a number of the sermons of Spur
geon, whose eloquence attracts thousands in Lon
don every week to hear hinl-and has done so
for some years-and having heard Mr.. Munsey,
we are of the confident opinion that Sturgeon is
not comparable to Mr.. Munsey, either in force of
intellect or power and brilliancy of imagination
His imagination is equal to that of Milton's and
his language is more like that of that immortal
poet than of any one else with whose style we are
acquainted. To such as may think this notice
extravaganza we would say, avail yourselves OF
the first opportunity to hear him, and we venture
to predict that you will then exclaim, with the
wonder-stricken Queen of Sheba:
'IHe half has not been told"
To attempt, in brief notice, to do justice to
his merits as pulpit orator would be as absurd
as to tint the lily of the valley add perfume to
the rose of Sharon, or paint the iris braid of
