From Burgh Hill.

EDITOR CHRONICLE:-Here we are /;
fearlessly contendIng for truth and bright,
zealously advocating our glorious cause,
temperance. with hope we labor
and not in vain. Any one, who observes
our hourishing town with an unpreju-
diced eye, must be struck with the per-
feet sobriety and deccrum, which is
eyerywhere and at al times manifest.
Not quite Eysar ago a Lodge OF Good
TemplaFs was organized here, with rath-
er Encouraging prospects before it The
frustrating drAught was dealt out at
three public places, to men Of all classes
from the respected young msn just be-
ginning his downward career, to the
confirmed old sot with but the sixpence
in his pocket. Day aher day they were
seen going in and out, out and in, some
times with heads erect, as il to bid def
ance to reproof, and sometimes with
steps lettering considerably. Night after
night was heard the noise of their
drunken revel; fearful oaths, ~boisterous
laughter and vulgar jests. All this is Of
the past. Our saloons, bar-rooms, &c,
are now closed; people walk straight in
daylight %, whisky is at a discount, and
between sixty and seventy promising
youths are saved from the drunkard's
fate. In this great work Of reformation
We have been aided by outside workers

ance.
Our worthy merchants are doing a
rushing business. They take particular
pride in the fine quality OF their butter,
which must indeed be remarkable, a. so
many gentlemen 6nd it necessary to 60
doWH cellar, every day, TO look at it
After their exit, a bottle is sometimes
seen p~rotruding from their pockets, con-
tanning a sample Of the aforesaid article,
we presume. The turpentine trade is
also quite lively; the empted eask is
frequently sent to a neighboring city, to
be replenished. "a rose may smell as
sweet by any other name"
Considering all things, Mr.. Editor, we
think we compare fayorably with other
towns. More n

"A company has been organized in this
State, with four hundred thousand dollars
capital. to build a three-foot gauge rail-
road between Piqua and Celina. running
through Miami, Shelby, Auglaize and
Mercer counties. The right of way is to
be fifteen feet, instead of forty, the usual
width. The locomotives are to weigh five
tons, instead Of thirty, and to be capable
of drawing from ten to twenty loaded
freight cars, each Of two and half tons
capacity. Each passenger car ID to hold
twenty people An extensive system oi
railroads Of this width is also being con-
structed as feeders TO the trunk lines CEN
tering at Toronto, and the projectors oi
the Buffalo and ndSpringfeld Massachusetts,
road are thinking Of adopting the same
gauge. It IS also being adopted in Russia.
Thus from domestic and foreign reports
this description OF railroad appears TO be
increasing In favor. It Is claimed that .
three-foot guage is quite sufficient on main
routes, and that the cost of construction
is not more than one half of the medium
four feet eight and one-haf inch guage
with an equal, if not greater, carrying ca
pacity. The Pestinog railroad, Wales, is
but one foot eleven and q half inches wide
using wagons weighing twelve hundred
weight, which frequently carry loads Of
over three and half tons at the rate o.
twelve miles an hour. They thus carry
six times their own weight, while twice
their own weight is the ordinary capacity
of wagons on broad guage railroads. il
the advantages claimed for this descrip.
ton of gusges be well founded, its gener.
al adoption Is pretty well assured, unles:
the superiority in speed. conceded to the
broader guages, as passenger carriers
more than counterbalances their reported
drawbacks as freighters.

doctrine in regard to it. On the other
hand, I did not and do not now regard
the reconstruction measures passed by
Congress as any part of the law of the
land, and if I had been in a positi N
of power where / was called upon to act
upon those so called laws, should have
acted out my convictions, let the eonse-
quenees have been what they might /
never did believe that they were constitu-
tiOnal. think now, although these laws
have done their work in subverting the
legal governments of the Southern States,
yet there is a perfectly constitutional
mode by which this could be repaired if
we had an Executive who regarded the
duties imposed on him by his Office. It
Is only necessary to withdraw the army
from the South, where it is employed in
driving voters from the polls and carry
ing the elections against the majority Of
the legal voters in those States, and the
people will resume their rightful authori-
ty.
This would be the way in which
would carry out the "Brodhead letter." OF
which so much has been said The sug-
gestion it contains that "the army should
be compelled to undo its usurpations"
and disperse the "carpet-bag govern
ments," which has created such clamor,
would be accomplished in q perfectly
peaceful manner, in strict accordance with
the duty Of the President under the Con-
stitution, by the simple act of withdraw
ing the soldiers of the United States from
the South; the carpet-bag governments
would then quietly disperse themselves
with the booty they have already secured,
and the people would be at peace. Thus,
by the application of the Executive pow
er, and IN strict accordance. with his
sworn duty, the restoration of the right
of self-government might be promptly
and completely accomplished.
