THE NEWS IN BERLIN.
The news throughout Germany was
received very much as the surrender of
Lee was in this country. The following
from Berlin is fair sample of the way
1t was received in other places:
BERLIN, Jan. 29-2 P. M.-The city
is in perfect frenzy of excitement now
that the certainty of the capitulation of
Paris is known. A telegram from the
Federal Chancellor gives official confir-
nation of the news, received at a late
hour last night. To-day the church
bells have been rung since daybreak,
and the several services in the churches
were attended by crowds of worshippers.
Sermons on peace were delivered and
prayers of thanksgiving for it offered.
Before and after the morning service in
the churches large crowds gathered in
front of the palace and the ladies of the
royal household appeared at the win
dows and waved their Acknowledgements
to the people. The scenes in the streets
were beyond description. Every person
on his way to church, as he met his
stopped and embraced, and
the women congratulated each other with
tears in their eyes. The news of the
certainly creates in the pub
lie mind here a charitable feeling, and
there is strong desire to act generously
toward the fallen foe.

PRESENTATION OF THE ARTIST.

At the conclusion of Senator Carpen-
ter's remarks, he said: "Now l shall
have the pleasure Of presenting to this
audience the artist whose skill and tai
ent has given to the country so faithful
representation Of the martyred Presi-
dent" He then took Miss Ream by the
hand and led her out to the center of
the platform, whereupon she was greeted
with most hearty round of applause.
AT this manifestation of approval by the
audience, Miss Winnie shrank timidly
back TO her sheltered nook, apparently
half frightened at the energetic plaudits
she had evoked.

The Lincoln Statue.

Miss Winnie Ream has just finished
her marble statue of Abraham Lincoln,
and which was formally unvailed in the
rotunda of the Capitol on Wednesday
evening of last week. The general i'm
preston of it seems to be very favorable.
Miss Winnie was of course the heroine of
the evening. The occasion was one of
lively interest and presided over bv Sem
ator Morrill, of this State. A Washing
ton correspondent, cd. K" sends us a
full account for which We have not
space, but from which we make this brief.
After the band had played dirge, and
everything being in readiness, Senator
Morrill, introduced the heroine of the
evening as follows:
GA little girl from Wisconsin, who but
a few years since was clerk in the post
Office, earning 5000 year, found that
she could do something better than keep
ing the Government books, so she turn
ed her attention to modelling. When it
was proposed by Congress to have a
statue of Mr.. Lincoln made, she present.
ed her model. along with others. Congress
liked it, and authorized her to execute
the work. She has done it, and the
statue and the artist are both before you
to bespeak your sympathy. The statue
will now be unvailed.

UNvAILING THE STATUE.

Associate Justice Davis Of the Unit
ed States Supreme Court, then stepped
forward, and taking the cord slowly and
reverently drew off the statue the starry
emblem which had concealed it from
view. As the flag ffoated free from the
statue, and exposed the benevolent fea-
lures Of the lamented Lincoln, there was
a momentary hush, which was broken by
a perfect storm Of loud and long con.
tinued applause.
Senator Trumbull spoke in feeling
terms Of his acquaintance with Mr.. Lin
coin and concluded as follows:
Perhaps the highest compliment l
can pay the artist is to say that it seems
to represent the very presence and be-
nightly of expression the great and good
man presented when he held forth, in
reality, the proclamation which gave
freedom to a long-enslaved people. lam
sure his associates will recognize the kind
ly and benevolent expression of his face"

exploded her boiler when about IA miles

took fire and burnt until the bow sunk.

ing scene ensued. 1t was about l. o'clock
A. M. Saturday morning. At daylight
a few were picked up, by small boats and
tugs, who had foated on bales of cotton
or other articles. The latest accounts
put the number of lives lost at 81.
Many of thosesaved were unable to speak
so great were their injuries. When the
bow sunk the waves swept away all who
had gathered there.

An informal meeting was held yesterday at

mlssiona7s "i Finance and several officers Of
the Valley Railroad who are in Baltimore

silly engaged in locating various routes be
tween Harrisonburg. Staunton, Lexington
and Salem, and those lines will be adopted
which offer the best grades, and on which the
land holders deal most literally in regard TO
the right of way. Mr.. ROBERT GARRETT,
the President Of the Road, is, we are glad to
learn, fully in accord with the people of that
portion of Virginia which ismost deeply inter
ested In Its construction, and we have reason
to congratulate both Virginia and Baltimore
IN the speedy prospective completion ofaroad
which will unite them more closely. The
products of the Valley of Virginia will soon
seek their natural market, and the increased
stimulus given to production of all kinds BY
the increased demand created by direct COM
munication with large commercial and man.
nfacturing centre will cause rapid growth
ofpopulation, and with it an enhance ment
in the value of land. Indeed, in short
time, the only wonder will be that the road
was not built as it ought to have been, fif-
teen years ago.
Some idea may be had of the effect Of
railroad facilities upon farm productions and
country traffic by the experiences of Harri
sonburg. A merchant there, who kept ?
country store, was in the habit of carrying on
trade in poultry, eggs and butter to the
amount of about $4,000 per annum. Upon
the completion of the Winchester and Stras.
burg link he commenced shipping daily to
Baltimore, and in twelve months after the
opening of the road his sales had run up te
800 900, an increase of two thousand per
cent, in one year. 1t must be remembered
too, that the completion Of the road not only
secures to a large district of Southwestern
Virginia access to Baltimore, but also, by con
nectious with other roads, to East and Yves
Virginia and the whole South, from the At
,lantic to the Mississippi Il will open W
avenues of communication to district which
hitherto has been rural in the extreme, and il
will complete a line which will not only unite
Virginia and Maryland. but will form link il
