ELKTON, JANUARY 3, 1869.
PEACE.

The news from the Southern States
grows more and more encouraging by
every mail, that the malcontents
and turbulent spirits of that scourged
land are giving up in despair of car
rying out their designs of re-establish-
ing the lost cause" They see and
feel, and are beginning to understand,
that the election of Grant meant Peace
in the full and broad acceptation of the
term, and those who will not under
stand and accept the inevitable in good
faith, will find the way of the trans
gressor is hard, and that the sword of
justice will surely and speedily find
them out, when Grant is seated in the
Presidential chair
The miserable apostatc who has dis
graccd the high Office of President, and
through it, the nation for the last three
Years, has sown harvest ofmiscry and
restitution in those States which was
only surpassed by the rebellion itself
In this final triumph of the principles
of the Republican party, the public
mind in every part of the country is
gravitating, as the element of former
strife become calm and settle, toward
that logical conclusion and lesson of
the war, that equal political rights
must be accorded and enjoyed by every
citizen of Republican Government
Those who periled their lives in the
Rebel States in support of the Govern
mcnt, must be protected and guaran-
tccd in their rights of life liberty and
the pursuit af happiness by that Gov
eminent; and the only mode of self.
protection in Republic is an equal
voice in making the laws which are
for the Government of the whole peo-
pie. A powerful party in Kentucky
are moving in this matter, and in Mary
land the same party are carrying their
appeal for justice and rights to Con-
gress. a demand SO manifestly just
and consistent with the principles and
plan on which the Rebel States have
been rc-establishcd in their relations
with the Federal Government, connot
long be resisted; and the Southern
States working on THIS broad Rcpubli-
can principle will be constant rebukc
to the Northern members of the Union,
which must bring Congress speedily TO
provide the necessary Constitutional
Amendment for bidding States to abridgc
or deny to cieizens of the United States
within their borders the full privileges
and rights of citizenship.

Chicago has at last

Chicago has at last completed, and
on New Years day opened her great
river tunnel. This grand work crosses
the Chicago river at Washington street,
and is the first of the kind in the coun.
try. Others are projected, but this is,
so far, the only tunnel now in operation
which goes under the bed of river
The Thames Tunnel, in London, is the
only other one in the world. This work
was commenced July p, 1867. and has
been, consequently, about eighteen
months in process of construction
almost an age for Chicago. The first
contractors threw up the job in despair.
Their work gave way and they aban-
doncd the undertaking. 1t was, how

the present contractors, and pushed to
a successful completion. These Napo-

sonry arc the firm of j. K Lake & Co.

An Hour ut POrter's Bridge.-Being in
the neighborhood of the Octoraro, Il few
days ago, walked up to Portcr's Bridge
to see the changes which had taken place
on spot with which was quite familiar
twenty-five years ago.
The ancient proprietress Of the place,
Margaret Arelia, is gone, and the hand of
improvement and progress has passed over
the spot. A new and substantial grain mill,
four stories high, with the modern improve
ments in the manufacture of grain, occu-
pics the place of the old, dilapidated affair,
called mill, in former times.
Margaret's old residence has been erased
and no vcstigc of its former grandeur re-
mains. Within it's ancient walls, the title
of many landed proprietor was made
to tremblc in the balance. "Dividing"
was turned aside to make place for "Belle
Vale" and the surrounding tracts of
''Bowren's Forest" "Stccrs," "Long
Lane" and many others were tied fast to
trees and stones to complete the locations.
John Troy proved the old poplar, out of
which he was cutting rabbit, when Stephen
Porter told him not to cut that tree, as it
was the beginning of "Long Lane" and
the commission to mark and bound d" Green
Delight" with variation of seven degrees,
favored the twisting around of "Divid-
ing - and on this line was shown stone
wall, built by the Yankee Soldiers, (who
| were recruiting here for time, on their
march to Yorktown ut the instance of one
of the proprietors of "Dividing," who
furnished them with rum to tighten their
toll
1t was in this old house that Alfred, the
colored man, was initiated into the art and
mystery of surveying, and which was just
bursting into usefulness, when DR.. Lewis
broke down his spirit, by swearing that no
citizen of African descent should look
through his compass.
What change has been effected in a
quarter of century! On Court days, in
Elkton, Margaret Arelia is not seen in the
streets, with Harris walking a yard or two
behind; and of the witnesses but few re-
main; and Of the neighbors who attended
on the surveys from the Octoraro to the
Susquehanna, David Brown, Joseph Pres
ton, and very few others are left. Marga-
ret's fondness for litigation wasted her
property; and her case may be warning
to others to "avoid foolish contentious,
and strivings about the law, for they are
improbable and vain."
In this connection, it may be remarked,
that there is great neglect at the present
time among land-holders, in fixing the
boundaries of their lands, while those per-
sons are living who know the ancient land
marks.
What change in Cecil county in twenty
| five years Margaret's counsel in her land

Sunday.SchOOl Entertainment n,

Years evening the children of the Elkton
NJ. E. Sunday school, assembled at the
parsonage, and shared in pleasant enter
tainment, provided for them on the occa-
sion. The whole parsonage was thrown
open to the little folks, who took full poses
sion, from 5 to 8 o'clock, indulging in any
and every innocent play and amusement
that suggested itself to them, no less to
their own enjoyment than that of the pastor
and his "gude wife" After the children
had partaken of the ice cream, cake, etc,
the other persons present partook of the
refreshments, also, of which there was an
abundance. To say the least, it was sea-
son of pleasure to all who participated,
and each one present can look back to New
Years 80 as one of the pleasantest of rem
iniscences.
