WASHINGTON, Dec. zO, lSOi.
 How IT Is WITH REPUBLIcANs.-I do not find any despondency among the majority of the party. There are few timid ones who are not yet emancipated from color phobia, but the foundation principle of the Republic is conceded by all. A large nun. Der of the so-called democratic party are to. day Ill favor of Manhood Suffrage, or Uni versal Suffrage; we'll knowing as they do, that 1t is the Plymouth Rock of a true de- mocracy. The principle I find none to combat But there is some passing dis. couragement among republicans, owing to
 the treaohery of trusted leaders. This should cause no alarm. as it is an unavoid- able incident attending tho sudden forma- tion of great party to save the life of a nation. Many rushed to the leadership for the sake of the spoils of office, and that their true character is now shown, should be cause for rejoicing. Republicans! you need little more of John Browns rugged
 faith Tn the superiority of your principles,
 and be not so easily bewildered by
 treachery and false cries from your oppo- nentsl I believe it to be solemn truth. i that as sure as the Democracy can drive you or scare you into dropping the prin- ciple of equality of all men before the law.
 they will instantly take it up, give the bal [ lot to the "d-d nigger," and rush into
 power We need above all some fearless leaders. This rule which We have adopted of putting up only the most timid or con- seryatiye men for office, has deprived the party of that energetic leadership which is the grand essential of success in all politi- cal parties. A priSciple, however strong and true, does not carry itself. It must
 have vigorous opponents, and that is all which we as party lack o-day-nothing else. This temporary reaction strenuously and resolutely withstood and overcome,
 will give us redoubled impetus next Au- tnmn. Our Southern opponents appealed to the bullet, while .our Northern oppo- nents ''stood by consenting." And shall we, by supineness and inaction lose by the ballot the victory gained by the bull let? Brothers! this is no time for "I told you so,' and whining about what ought or might have been doue; but time for thorough work and devout thankfulness that so much has been accomplished, and full faith shown bv o,Jr w0rks thot |, d,,o time the remainder shall be done. w.

GOSHEN.

Christmas day was not observed in onr town by any public demonstrations othe, than the usual friendly interchange of vis- its, and good dinners generally, and none but the animal and feathered creation, will have reason to regret the day. The pupils of A. H. Bingham's school, gave pleasant entertainment in tho evening, at the base ment of the church, to crowded audience. The exercises consisted of declamations. recitation and the reading of the Christ mas Gem, or Academical Paper. It was one of those happy gatherings, which, have occurred so frequently fo1 the last two years, since MT. Bingham has taken charge of the Goshen Institute. At the close of the school exercises, came the dis tribution of presents, for Santa Claus had previously showered profusion of good things upon the Christmas Tree. The said patron saint hold in very high estima- tion, at the present time, for among other presents your correspondent was the recip- tent of several sheets of aper.and 12 quills fresh from the wing of some goose by which I suppose he signifed his desire that should note his advent into town. Benevolent old saint! may be continue to remember me, and may the shades of the Christmas Tree never grow less.

The Fishlxill and Springfield R. R

l The Winsted Herald discourses some what excitedly of the doubts that have been expressed of the possibility of grading their proposed railroad for $2O,O0O per mile. It seems, furthermore, that still la- ter estimates reduce the expense to only $15, ,000 per mile!
 The maximum grade allowed we SOC sta- ted at 80 feet to the mile. This is, we be- ieve somewhat higher grade than those of the lower lines. Nevertheless $15, GOO per mile, time and place considered, is cer- tainly surprisingly low estimate; and nothing short of the word of gentleman, a mathematician, and the son of an Ex- Governor, fortified by our friends enthusiastic endorsement would make us believe it. The Herald says:
 The cost of grading the Danbury-(and by gra- ding we mean blasting, cutting, filling, building bridges and culyerts and making all ready for the 1Taccording to the chief engineers official report The cost of grading the Watertown route would be $s2. .76o per miie A3- according to the chief en- Winsted route has not yet been made; but Mr. Wm. F. Shunk, who has conducted the survey is responsible for the statement that the cost of gra ding will not, in hls opinion exceed ,ftteen Rou- sand dollars neile. It is to be presumed that Mr. Shunk knows what he is about. He is a gentle man, matbematician, son of an ex-Governor of Pennsylvania. and probably hasa reputation to maintain.
 The time fixed for completing the pro- posed road is later than we had supposed little after the Millennium
 Satan's Kingdom will have to come down if the Springfield and Fishkill railroad goes through. Just this side of Collinsvie the rock runs almost perpendicularly into the river, and way must be cut through the solid rock for about one thousand feet.
 MT. Shunk will no doubt figure soon, on this part of the route. We shall be sur prised if he does not make considerable saving from the present estimates of the Boards of Foreign and Domestic Missions.
