From the condensed news column of the
Baltimore Gazette, We make up the following
Spirit of Jefferson. [volume] (Charles Town, Va. [W. Va.]) 1844-1948, 1870-10-25

Number Of manufactures, producing s5OO
and upwards, Ill number of deaths, from
June 1869, to June 1, 1870, whites, 81;
colored, 60; total 147.
The oldest white man 100 years.
The Oldest colored man 101, died within
the last year four colored persons 100 years
old.
The population of the county in 1860 was
14,024, showing decrease of 945. The
cause of this decrease may be attributed to two
reasons First, the abolition of the Govern
ment works at Harper's Ferry, with its large
corps of workmen and last, though not least,
the prOscriptive tyranny of Radical rule in
West Virginia, have driven large masses of
our best citizens from their native soil.

The RADICALS AND MARYLAND
The Radicals predict that they will carry
four out Of the five Congressional dis.
sricts Of Maryland next fall, aud that
Ghe negraes will vote with them to a
man. This last may be true. But ii
is only by divisions aasSng the Democ.
raey, got up on miserable distractions,
that even with the unanimous support
of tlek negro political property, the
Radicals can triumph. If we are given
over to the Philistiess, it will be by the
hapds Of some impracticable Democrat.
1.-The Dem0craeyOf Maryland will stand
and act together us one man, we can
drive the Piaatation hands aud their
political overseers into the Chesapeake
Is this the time for any Democrat, af.
tectlng excessive devotion to State
Rights, to assail the unity of the party,
and thereby give his State TO the negro
domination, which he processes to

The Western Maryland Railroad.

We are constantly being questioned
as to the prospects of the Western Ma
ryland Railroad by residents of Allegany
county, says the Cumberland Trans.
cript, and there is very deep interest
felt in everything pertaining to that
work, The people of all Western Ma.
ryland are thoroughly alive to the ne.
cessity of the completion Of the road,
aud are impatient to see it PIT under
contract, If the proper route is taken
much valuable territory will be opened
up to market. We have been assured,
time aud again, that New York capital
lists were ready to invest several millions
in the enterprise whenever the proper
moment should arrive. We conceive
that now is the propitous hour, aud
some steps should be taken at an early
day to get the Western Maryland Ex.
tension Railroad under way. The work
is advancing toward Ilagcrstown, but
when il shall reach that point the work
is only half doce The aim and object
of the road are TO reach the Cumberland
coal fields. The charter has been pro,
cured, aud there awaits it. a supply of
freights in the way of coal and mer.
chandise which will tax its resources
from the very start. One line of rail
TO the seaboard is insufficient, and the
yearly increase of our trade bids fair
ere long 10 make another road an abso.

Many railroads have been built as
experiments, with Only hope of sue

raj weeks past we learn has been cngag

Town Hill Mountaiu to Rocky Gap Run
from which latter point the read can

The survey made coutemplates a ro.tc

either by a tunnel half mile in length,
or by running around the point of the

Of track. Thence through the Gap at
Mineral Springs near FliastoRe, aud then
to Rocky Gap Run. This route we are
assured is perfectly feasible, and the
heaviest grade is placed at seventy feet
per mile.
We trust that sone active steps may
so0a be taken to put this matter 10 good
shape, and to give US some idea Of what
will be done towards putting this enter
