B

The question is often asked of us by
Western men, what inducements do
you propose to offer the white labor
for which you call so loud? What
definite inducements are you prepared
to offer those able-bodied farm hands
who are willing to engage in the work
of restoring the wasted and desOlated
fields of the South to their former
bloom and fertility? No nan Will
abandon certainty for an uncertainty,
OF, as the proverb has it, ga bird in
the hand is worth two in the BUSH"
Northern farm hands are not the best
paid people in the world; still they
have enough to provide the necessaries
ic.not the comforts oflife. Ifyou wish to
entice- them away from their homes in
large numbers, you must bold out to
them evidences of how they viii be
benefited by the1change, Do you pro-
pose to give them a few acres out of
your large estate, that they may not
have to toll in vain, but may have
some real property to which they can
point with pride as the result of their
labors2 A few such acres would not
be missed, while they would prove a
strong argument with the Northern
working class i'm favor Of Navigating
southwartls. Then comes the question
of tenement homes. Many of the
small farmers who wish to purchase
lands and settle amongst us lack the
money required to build houses for
themselves. Our woods win furnish
plenty of timber-arewe ready tosup-
ply them gratis with what they may
want for such a purpose? In the mean
time, it will be no loss to us, and, in
the end, very profitable. For consider
the increased value il will give to our

books could indicate. But what Tory he is!
Cornelius Opowd," who pOurs his grlets,
mingled with comical bursts OF laughter into
the sympathetic pages Of BlacSwoods Maga-

the genuine race of Tories. Nevertheless, his
papers are read for the sake OF hls anecdotes.
Here Is his last-told of Daniel O'Connel:
The great Daniel, when taking Saunterlng
ride in the neighborhoOd OF his house, had oc-
casiou to ask an urchin to open gate for him.
The little urchin complied with much alacrlty,
and looked up with such an honest pleasure at
rendering the Sight service that OConncll, by
way OF saying something anything

,ben od1ed aloud, "When | see you again l. IL

s,,n ioy,ot the incident, and fell to thinking OF
pr,ver matters, when, after some mile OF way,
he found his path obstructed by some 1aiien
timb r which a bog was stoutly endeavorlne
10 rrmove, On looking more closely he dis
covered it to be the same boy ne had met ID

pcnce said the little fellow, wipiug the per,
srjration from his brow. "Here 1t is, sald
Daniel; YOU are my son--the devil doubt OF

RAILROAD MATTERS. difficulties be-
tween Mayor Bowen and the Baltimore and
Ohio Raj road COMPANY still continue to en-.
gage public attention. A few days ago Mayor
Bowen was invited to visit Baltimore in the
expectation that by so doing some understand
INK might be reached in regard to the vexed
question Of the grades of the Metropolitan
Railway. Bowen curtly declined to go, and
Nr. Garrett quite as positively refused to visit
Bowen at the City Hall, But he came here
Yesterday somewhat unexpected, accompanied
by Mr.. Richardson, the Vice President of the
road, AMI Mr.. Randolph, an engineer. He
was met at Welckers BY number OF promi-
nent citizens who had assembled there by in
vitatiou, and among them we're Mr. COrco-
ran, Mr.. Cooke, DR.. Blake, Mr. Todd, Mr.. NJ.
w. Gait, Mr. Philip, Mr.. Kennedy, and many
others.
Ia the preScnc, of these gentlemen Mr.. Gar
rett entered into explanations In regard to the
great trouble, and the alleged delay in the con-
strucion OF road to the Point of Rocks. He
read also letter from Bowen, in which the
latter expressed his desire to do anything that
was not Incompatible with the ordinances OF
the city which would bring about friendly
adjustment Of the controversy in the matter OF
grades. Mr.. Garrett showed what the Balti-
more and Ohio Railroad had accomplished for
Washington, and how little Washington had
done in return. He explained the obstacle
would h~~- =. L. --o-~-s-.sI ~ a Cnange
Of grade, and spoke strongly OF the course OF
Mayor Bowen, being satisfied he said, that the
latter was acting in opposition to the wishes
Of the generality OF the people of this city.
Mr.. Philip charged that our citizens were ag-
crieycd by the course pursued by Mr.. Garrett.
But Mr. Kennedy struck the keynote of the
whole controversy when he said that the peo
pie Of Washington were grievously disappOiu
ted at the delay in constructing the railroad to
the Point Of Rocks, aud that if Mr.. Garrett
would agree to complete the road at an early
day the present difficulty in relation to grades
within the limits of the city could be satlStac
toriIy arranged. Mr. Garrett would not con-
sent 10 say that the road could be built in less
than two years, and explained the character
IL the work that had to be done, the heavy
cuttings and the tunnels that would be requir.
cd, &C. Mr. Kennedy insisted that the road
could be built in thirteen months. Mr. Gait
desired to know what facilities the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad had for the carrying OF
freight and passengers, to which Mr. Garrett
replied that it had cars and engines enough to
I'LL the entire road from Baltimore to Wash
ingtOn. As an evidence Of the working capa-
city of the road, ho stated what it had accom-
pllshcd IN the matter OF Transporting men and
munitions OF war to Washington during the
conflict with the South. Various other re-
marks we're made subsequently, and the final
result was that o committee was appointed to
investigate the whole subject, and report at 4
future NEE ting Wash. Ger. OF Bar. Gd-.

Three Young Men Drowned.

A Jackson, Mich, correspondent d the
Chicago Journal, gives the details Of the
drowning of three young men, briefly re-
ported by telegraph: n.i
The young men, Knapp, MeseroI and
Carhartt, left this city about 3 O'Clock on
Wednesday evening, on n fishing excursion
to the pond, which is about four miles east
Of the town. There is q small village near
the pond at the hotel of which they put up
their horse. Mr.. Paugburn, the hotel
keeper, says he gave them his largest boat,
capable of accommodating six men. They
said that, as they probably would be out
late, they wouldn't trouble Mr., Paugburn
10 sit up for them, but they would secure
the boat, and get up their own horse.
Yesterday morning Mr.. Paugburn found
the horse in the barn, and at once sent a
man 10 see what had become of the boat.
The man. returned after a while and re
ported finding the boat bottom side mp and
no men to be seen. Mr.. Paugburn at nee
camo to the city with the news, and in q
short time about 400 men were IN the
ground, eager and anxious to assist in find
ing the bodies Of the unfortunate young
men.
OF the manner Of the accident which de-
prived these young men of life, probably
nothing will ever be known. 1t is thought,
however, that while they were fishing their
boat encountered a snag, which immedi-
ately overturned then, and the young men
were suddenly precipitAtsd into the chilling
water, where, amid darkness and cold, en-
numbered with heavy clothing, and with no
aid near, they o persisted.
Some people in the, peighborhood heard
cries about midnight, Int es fishing parties
were frequently noisy, paid no attention 20

cries of the unfortunate young men.
They wero all Of them young mon Of
great promise, steady and reliable in every
place, and there are scarcely three young
men in the city whose less would have been
felt so much as theirs. The mournful
event has cast a dark shadow over the
immunity. I 1855 80
