OXFORD AND HANOVER JUNCTION RAIIRoAD.-
The Oxford Press contains report of meeting
of the friends of the proposed railroad from Ok
tord, Chester county, which was held at the Uni
corn Hotel Lancaster county, on Saturday, May
2Sth Sanders Mccullough was called to the
chair, and S. b. Russell chosen Secretary. Henry
Wood, Esq, President of the p. IL b. Q. II. X:
Co., presented the Engineers report. He read
extracts therefrom, stating the entire practical
lility of both routes. and showing that neither
possessed any very decided advantages over the
other Mr.. Wood argued that whilst there would
be no material difference i'll the cost of the two
routes. the northerly one, from the fact of its
| traversng an entirely new country, would give
accommodation to a greater number oil people
| and make n much better paying road. He lnti-
mated that the choice of the upper route would
be satisfactory to the company OF which he was
| representative.
| 1t being evident that the work of obtaining
subscriptions was very much retarded by not
having any particular route in view, amotion was
| made to adopt the northern one. The motion
4 was carried unanimously. This route is the one
| connecting with the Z. II b. O. Il. H., at Oxford,
| and passing near Hopcwen Pine Grove, King =
| Bridge Smedlcy's Mill, Centreyille, and along
/ Fishing Creek.
S. q. boyd, Esq, of York county, was then ill
troduced, and made some forcible and telling re-
marks. He referred to what had been done
upon the York county end of the line. They had
raised 7l0O,DOO without knowing who was to con-
troll the roal or anything about it. When they
| Sllull nave eltCltu lOI men thcy
know and can trust their subscriptions will be
doubled. He referred to the superior advantages
and wealth of Lancaster and Chester counties,
and appealed to our citizens not to let our poorer
neighbors outstrip u.s. He pointed out the adj
yaItages of railroad, and demonstrated that
the money expended for such a purpose does not
go ont of the country but is left at home While
the road is in progress, the farmer finds at his
own door ready market for everything his farm
produces; so that even with very liberal sub
scrptions. lie is nearly paid back by the time the
road is finished. to say nothing of the perma.
nent enhancement of lis property. He showed
the importance of this wanting link to great
through road, and through there was every rea,
son to believe that the enterprise wouldpay good
dividends.
There were but few present who did not sub
scribe more or less to the road, and altogether
the meeting was an earnest indication OF ma
success. Another meeting is called for Friday,
June 10TH at o'clock p. m, at the same place,
at which ii is expected President Wood, Mr.
Boyd and other prominent railroad men will be

Disraels novel Of Lothair, published by the
veteran politician, after his long absence from
the fields of literature, is supposed to be
sllrcwd piece of management to secure the atten-
tion and support of the solid Britons. This de-
sign was supposed to be especially indicated in
his treatment of the Catholic question:, which
now largely agtates the English mind. But it
would appear that his friends, the Tories do not
exhibit warm approval of their astute ox-Primc

That strongly Republican State, New liamp-

COLONEL WnMER.-I.ast week We had a short
notice about Colonel Edwin Wilmer being in Jail
in Freehold. New Jersey. The item was con-

A correspondent furnished the item to the jour

however, that he saw Col Wilmer in Baltimore
on Friday last and thought he looked neither
besotted nor detected. This last information is
correct, we feel sure none but those who have per
sona or political revenge to crafty can believe the
other report. The Colonel is entitled to truthful
representation. let his short comings be what
