A NICE GAME OF RAsCALITY.

"a OF all classes of business men, there is
i none upon whom SO much rascality and fraud
/, are perpetrated as upon newspaper publishers.
e Almost dhilEwe receive propositions, that,
i ut glance, appear to be perfectly fair and
|, honorable, but which, upon closer inspection,
i prove to be of the most rascally character.
8 A day or two since, we received a circular
s from So sailed advertising agent in New
s York, (of whom we had never heard before, }
proposing to furnish US with first class Sixty
s dollar iSercing Machine, if We would give him
!, the benefit of the following advertising -
3 zone page, one time, displayed.
Il Twenty inches three months.
q Six hundred lines, one time, of reading
Z matter"
! of story to be published in the New York
s Weekly, which, at the lowest calculation,
!, would occupy three columns Of our paper, and
!. accompanies it with the following =
Il "Iasert the enclosed, as per printed dircc-
1: tons on copy, if you accept my proposition,
& and send copy of your paper containing the
3 story, when Published, to my address"
= Now this is one of the prettiest little games
!. in this line that have ever seen attempted,
3 but not quite palatabc enough to be swallowed
! by the Spirit Of Jc6ersOn. This is about the
! game A. contracts with the publishers of
i the New York Weekly to have this story pub
i lished in two thousand papers, at the average
!; price of twenty dollars each. He then gets
up this fairfaced circular, the first two clauses
! OF which proposition he has not the slightest
idea of being fulfilled, and sends it out to
thousands of newspapers. Some of these will
bite at the bait, and others will not, but out
OF the immense number receiving the propo>
]; sition he will get two thousand papers to in
sert the story and send copy of the paper
I containing the same. These papers he will
present to the publishers of the Weekly as
proof of the fulfllment of his contract, draw
& SAC, 900 therefor, and when these duped news
paper men hear from him "they will know it,"
!, He will decamp with $4,000 in his pocket,
!. AID in his luxury and enjoyment, laugh at
\ their folly. 'FRONT.' nuHa .61cs.

SHENANDOAH VALLEY R. R.
Extension to Hagerstown, Md
MEEIlNG oF zee People.

It is a remarkable fact, sustained by the
experience of other railroads, that the people
/ of Washington county, Nd, have shown to
railroads an indifference bordering on hostility.
Indeed, Maryland, as recently stated in the
Baltimore american, is more hostile to rail-
roads than any other State in the Union
Whatever has been the feeling in the past,
there seems at present determination of the
people of Washington county to redeem their
section from that charge. A large and en-
sthusiastio meeting ofthe people was held, pur-
I suant to public notice, at SharpsBurg, on Sat-
urday night, the "a inst, to take active steps
toward giving the Shenandoah Valley Rail-
road the right of why through the county to
sHagcrstown. DR.. A. A. Biggs presided
Col. A. r. Boteler, in an eloquent address,
described the manner the people of the Shen-
!. andoah Valley have taken hold of this rail-
sroad project, and have thereby identified their
/ interests with those of the railroad. COL A.
sSyester, in his usual able manner, called upon
sthe people to examine the subject for then-
selves, and take the present opportunity of
securing the benefits that taibroad will afford.
!! A Neill Esq, and Major H. Kyd Douglass,
]. followed in appropriate speeches, urging the
!; people to take this matter in hand and see
!. that the work be made success without
5delay. J. b. McElroy, Esq, the Assistant
s Engineer and &eest was present, representing
sthe interests of the company. He reported
/ cheering news from Clarke, Warren, and JET:
ferson in obtaining the right of way.
4 The people throughout the entire proceed
ings, showed their interest in this extension
i of our railroad by eager attention and frequent
!. applause. The meeting closed with three
hearty cheers for the Shenandoah' Valley

MORE RELICS .FoUND.-While en-
gagged in digging on the Island yester-
day, at the place before indicated by US,
the workmen came upon more relics,
consisting of arrow heads, pottery, soap
stone partially formed into a pipe and
other Indian relics. They also uncov-
cred the ashes of a fire some eighteen
inches or two feet below the surface.
The remains of an immensely large and
powerful man was exhumed. The bone
of his forearm would reach almost to
the shoulder of an individual of ordi-
nary statue. Great numbers of persons
gather daily to watch the digging out
of these remains.

MUCH ADO ABBOTT NoTHING.-Some
thin skinned individual signing himself
IAN Irishman," rushes into print in
yesterdays htelligencer with a card
which is intended to inform those of
his cUuntrymen who are blessed with
more sense than to believe all that may
be written or printed about Irishmen is
intended te insult them, that we put a
terrific indigDity upon them by print
ing poems written by men who loved
Ireland and her religion better than he
ever dared. If his statements be true.
there has been acombined and deliber-
ately planned conspiracy, extending all
over the country, to insult Irishmen and
especially Catholics, for in the Cincin-
natl Commercial, the Pittsburgh CONNER.
cial ard Pittsburgh Post appear the
same poems, word for word, that San
Irishman" finds so insulting, and one of
the papers above mentioned is owned
and edited by one of the most devout
Catholics and enthusiastic Irishmen in
America to-day. We can tell the Intel.
ligencer'S correspondent how he can
avoid being ihsulted in the future: Let
him put on his most dignitied look and
spreading his hand out let him say,
"No gentleman will insult me- No
other can" He will thus avoid so much
bad feeling, as seems to have taken pos
session of him. We trust, however,
that after his effort in the IRtelligencer
he feels better. Having said this much
we have done with this matter except
so far as to repeat what we said yester'
day, that we had no intention Of wound
ing the feelings of any one, and that,
until we are satisfied that the more
intelligent of our Irish citizens
in Wheeling, as well as in Cincinnati,
Pittsburgh and other cities feel that
they have been insulted and make the
fact known, we will not be apt to regu-
late our selections by "An Irishman's"
desire even though he again takes his
news from the Inteligencer.
