evening, preached by the pastor, was
upon Trusting in the Lord" and
glorious testimony was afterwards given

OF the ordinances which are now sup
posed to be in force conflict with the
provisions of the new charter. Some

the old charter and were by the terms
thereof continued in force, but as the
old charter was repealed, il undoubted-
ly follows, as a matter OF course, that
the old ordinances, if not consistent
with the new charter, are repealed
also.

made yesterday on the Philadelphia.
Germantown and Norristown raiIr DAD. 4.
The beautiful locomotive engine and
tender, built by Mr.. Baldwin, of this
city, whose reputation as an ingenious
machinist is well known, were for the
first time placed on the road. The en-
gine travelled about six miles, working
with perfect accuracy and ease in all its
parts, and with great velocity"
The Chronicle of the same date, speak
ing of the trial, said the engine weigh
ed between four and five tons, was small
of bulk and simple in its working ma
chinery. 1t was then predicted that it
would draw thirty tons gross at the rate
of forty miles an hour. This was
very large guess, but it was at least par
TALLY verified, as the Ironsides,' as
the new motor was called, attained
speed of thirty miles an hour with the
usual train attached. But the most
interesting feature connected with
this early locomotive was the fol-
lowing advertisement, which appeared
in the Daily Advertiser
NoTICE.-The locomotive engine
built by NJ. w. Baldwin of this city,
will depart daily, when the weather is
fair, with train of passenger cars
On rainy days horses will be attached.

Mr. Secretary" said he, "I want
my pardon as soon as possible. I've
fought against you as long as 1 could,
and I've been whipped and now 1 want
to go home and go to work I've got
hundreds of acres of land that have
been lying idle for the last four years,
and want to get seed into every inch
of it this spring, so I'll thank you to
give me my pardon and let me go.''
He talked so fast that Mr.. Stanton
couldn't get in word but being anus
ed and rather pleased by Major Drew
ry's bluff manner, he asked at last:
ION what ground do you expect to
get pardon, sir 2"
"On the ground, sir, that I showed
you how to build navy. You sent
your meet OI Ola wooden ships up to
Drewry's Bluff, and we knocked 'em all
to pieces and showed you sir, that wood
EN- ships weren't worth a d. And
then you went to work and got together
navy that was worth something, and
it's on the ground that my men proved
your needs to you that L want a par
don."
The Secretary laughed, and told the
honest rebel to call the next day, as he
would like to talk further with him. -
Next day Major brewery got his pardon
and, in return, gave Mr.. Stanton great
deal of valuable information concern
ing the the South and its prospects
