THE CHESAPEAKE AND OHIO RAILROAD =
This important work is still going on From
our office window We can see men with their
carts and horses, and nasons with their picks
and chisels, basily engaged on the deep cut in
the road at this place. The cut here is fifty
feet deep and 400 feet long. It is estimated by
Mr. Conner, the contractor here, that it will re-
quire $4,000 to push it to completion. ar.
On this section of the work, and the one near
Ceredo, in Wayne county, there has been some
thing near $4,000 expended since operations
were commenced early in the month OF last
April, The work is let out under monthly es-
Inmates made by the engineers; and although
there has not been as much activity exhibited
as to encourage the less hopeful amongst US
still it is sufficient for the more sanguine, and
we feel confident now that it will receive new
impetus, and go forward rapidly. : CabeH Coun-

New VIRGINIA Richmond papers note
decided Improvement in real estate prospects
since the election Sufficient time has not yet
elapsed for effects to show themselves, but it
may be judged from many indications that there
will soon be an increased demand for Virginia
lands Some people have doubts about the
recognition of Virginia as a State under the
Walker government; but these will probably
not be realized After some little opposition from
extreme Radicals, Virginia will be let in: and her
Senators and representatives will take their
seats. In anticipation of these events, move
ments to emigrate to the old State are now on
foot in several parts of the North. A number
of gentlemen in New Jersey are spoken of as
having organized and appointed committee
to 60 to Virginia and inspect lands offered there
by Gen. Imboden, the immigration agent Of
the State. They intend to buy farms of from
500 to 1000 acres apiece, if prices and other
conditions are favorable. From the reconstruc-
ton of vi gnia on conservative basis will
date the era Of a renewed prosperity greater
perhaps than she has ever enjoyed before

Morning Devotion.

So fit and useful is morning devotion it ought
not to be omitted without necessity, if cir
cumstances will allow the privilege, it is a bad
sign when no part Of the morning is spent in
prayer. If God fnds no place in our minds at
that early and peaceful hour he will hardly
recur to us in the tumults of life If the benefits
OF the morning do not soften US, We can hardly
expect the heart to melt during the day. Ifthe
world rush In and take possession of US, when
We are at some distance and have had respite
from It's cares, how can We hope TO shake it off
when we shall be in the midst of it; pressed
and agitated by it on every side?
81 Let part of the morning, if possible be set
apart for devotion and to this end we should
Tx the hour tor rising, so that We may have an
early hour at our disposal. Our piety is suspi-
clous IT we can renounce, as too many do, the
pleasure and benefits of early prayer, rather
than forego the senseless indulgence of unworthy
sleep. What {! we can rise early enough tor
business We can ever anticipate the dawn if
a favorlte pleasure or uncommon gain require
the effort But we cannot arise that we may
bless our great Benefactor, that we may arm
ourselves for the severe conflicts to which our
principles are opposed. We are viking to rush
into the world without thanks offered or bless
ing sought. From day thus began what
ought We to expect but thoughtlessnes IS and
guilt? .

FUTURE PUNISHMENT. Let the fairest star
be selected, like beauteous island in the vast
and shoreless sea of the azure heavens, as the
future home of criminals from the earth, and
let them possess whatever they most love, and
all that it is possible for God to bestow; let
them be endowed with the undying bodies, and
with minds which shall forever retain their in
tellectual powers let no Saviour ever press his
claims upon them, no God reveal himself to
them, no Sabbath ever dawn upon them, no
saint ever live among them, no prayer ever be
heard within their borders but let the society
exist there forever, smitten only by the eprosy
of hatred to God and eternal purpose-then,
as the law of righteousness exists, on which
rests the throne of God and the government of
the universe, society so constituted must work
out for itself hell of solitary and bitter suffer
ing, to which there is no limit, except the ca.
pacity of a finite nature Also the spirit that
is without love to its neighbor, is already pos
sessed by power which must at last create for

BE HAPPY.-A cheerful temper, "a kindly
heart, and courteous tongue cannot be too
careful or too sedulously cultivated. On the
other hand, a disposition to be gloomy and cap-
tious, to be butter and lnatured, to be cynical
aud slanderous cannot be too cautiously avoid
ed. The one bad habit, too is apt to grow and
become powerful as the other If we permit
ourselves to look constantly on the dark side,
and to view everything with dstrust and ieal-
Ousy, we shall seldou be able to realize and en-
joy anything that is bright, beautiful, kindly
and generous. There is, however, nothing SO
calculated to detace beauty, ard take away from
the human countenance al those rosy, shining
lights, which are admirably suited to brighten
and adorn as disposition to fret vex and be
miserable. The soul is then reflected through
the human countenance, just as it is often
mirrored in the eye.
In THE WAY.-A mother who was preparing
some -four to mix into bread, left it for few
moments when little Mary-with childish
curiosity TO see what it was-took hold Of the
dish which fell to the floor spilling its contents.
The mother struck the child a severe blow saw
ing with anger that she was always in the way.
Two weeks after, little Mary sickened and died.
On her death bed, while delirious, she asked
her mother if there would be room for her among
the angels. II was always in your way, moth
er; you had no room for little Mary! And will
be in the angels way? Will there be no room
| for me ?-The brokeH-hearted mother then felt
that no sacrifice would have been too great could
she have saved her child. a. s~o7 as6

The Crnne.Yerger MlIltnry Trial.

The Yerger Military Commission sat
seven hours Friday, mainly in the ex-
animation of DR.. VIM. a. Lyle, a Men,
phis physician, who testified very elab-
orately to show Yerger's insanity.
The causes, manifestation and possible
cure, of all forms of dementiar mono
mania, emotional or moral insanity,
and mania in its many subdivisions,
pyromania, kleptomania, mania-a-
potu, delirium tremens-all were very
learnedly and exhaustively discussed,
and various authorities cited as to the
conditions under which hypern mia
and annmia might exist. EsquirOl,
and other equally weighty authorities,
were cited, and the conclusion came to
that the prisoner, for whose sake all
this learning was displayed. was an ex-
travagant, over bearing, dfctatorial,
suspicious and eXRCting person, s0me~
times to the extent OF being insanely So.
After nearly four hours OF eXamina-
ton member OF the commission de-
sired the witness TO state what was the
disease or pathological condition OF the
brain In ordinary instances. The Wit
ness replied that it would involve a
dissertation on the anatomy and phy-
siology of insanity, which he desired
to be excused from giving at that time,
but contented himself with reathrming
that any pathological condition OF the
brain disturbed i'll its regular functions
was insanity. Drink and passion, 1t
was to be inferred, led to Herger's In
sanity. ..
