The Corporation most have authority from Congress to vote the money, and the sooner it asks for that authority the better. It is idle to say let the capitalists subscribe. Very few railroads, except through limes, are built by the subscriptions of monsed | men are large snd immediate; and branch roads, while of great benefit to the country traversed, and to the business of the terminii, do not as general thing pay large dividends to the stockholders, This railroad is one that will bring set of customers exclu- sively toour business men. It will cheapen the cost of living by bringing here exclusively the products of lower Maryland. It is thus of great importance to our commanity as a whole, and should be subseribed to by the corpora- tion for the benefit of the entire community- lt a8 argued that it will require consider- able money, that the corporation is im debt, Ac. Very well, this is just the way to bring money here. self for the time being, im building the rail- Toads centering im that city, but she is now reaping the benefits of her expenditures. In the New England States, where they are build- ing net works of railway communicating with square mile of territory, the tedious and upeertain process of depending upon individual subscTiptions las been pretiy much sbandoned. The townships and corporations take hold of the work in a systemmatic way. In Maine, for instance, where a gridiron system of rail- roads is being spread over the whole State, the work is carried through mainly by the town- sbipe. whicd issue bonds to build the roads. Now let the Corporation of Washington show & similar apprecistion of the advantages of railroads. The men who take hold of this work and push it through will be reckoned Lereafter among the benetactors of the city. ‘We hear that some of the New York stock- bolders of the Washington and Georgetown Street Railway Company are bere lobbying to intivence the New Yor members and others to oppose the passage ef the bill paving Penn- sylvania avenue, because the bill requires the company to pave its track. This strikes us as s very reprehensible proceeding. The F-street lime paved its track at very heavy expense, without grambling, when that street was paved. and there is no earthly reason why the Averue line should not be required to pave its track, just as street railways everywhere are required todo. It 18 bad enough to have the wm fluence of northern stockholders in the mo- nepoly hne of railroads leading here brough: to bear upom Congress to prevent us from hav- fog more railrads; but that northern stock- holders in our street railways should under- take to defeat much needed city improvements, lest their dividends should not be quite so large, is simply inwlerable, Fosstiirerovs.—io jhe Congressmen of Maryland really represent the people of that State im opposing more railroads! Hon. Fred- etiek Stone, Representative trom the Fitth Dis- trict, it seems, bas written to Gov. Bowie that if the sur-line railroad bill passes Congress it ought to be resisted in the Supreme Court ‘This is progress with a vengeance! We cin epderstand why the Baltimore and Ubio Kail.

Passing by the bostile tone of so- ciety in that city during the war, which doubt- less affected my interests proportionasly as much as those of any other, { shall submit to the public an extract from a private letter written by me on the 12th ult., which may af- ford some amusement. and at the same time prove bow easy a matter it is for even jouraal- ists, mm these sensational times, to be Imposed Bpon: Isy tbe setting of the sum on the eve of the date ady given, a stranger might have paused it Streets of Frederick, and asked. what “change has come over the spirit” of this cuty? Nota fiag was to be seen; not a citizen upon its streets; the pulse of business (never very strong) had almost ceased to beat; and as friend met friend, they whispered with white lips of the approach of the enemy. It was trne. General Robert Lee, at the bead of the Uon- tederate army, in the main ) to the mercy of a chivalrous enemy. General Stonewall Jackson entered the city on Saturday, the 6th of S«p- tember, and General Longstreet on the follow- ing Monday came in with the rematning forces So far as 1am imformed, as gvod order prevailed as could be expected ander the cir. Umestan ces. ‘Their sojourn was brief, for the morning of the 1th raised the curtain, and the sceue pre- sented was truly warhke. Day dawned upon marebing columns of infantry. cavalry and artillery wending their way to South Moun. ‘am and Antietam. Onward they pressed, presenting little variety. excepting national Hage were ted to borses’ tails, and trailed through the streets as a warning to Unronists of what mightoccur thereafter. Seated at my door, I had been a silent observer of the morn- ing’s pageant. It may be well to state here, although I bad not the acquaintance of a soli- tary Con! soldier, save those who bad been my neighbors, the house where the U. 8. floated under more friendly auspices, was known to many. To contiaue: Music and as I upon brave men enduring every degree of danger aud suffering for what they caited their rights, myZreverie was inter- rupted by the sudden halt of a subordinate offlcer, before m door, who shouted at the top of his voice, “G—d d—n the stars and stripes to the dust, with all who advocate them!” The ero was borne off by the dense throng, but the insult admitted of no second thought. ‘The flag of my country, sacred to the memory of my grandsires, and to the bes: men of Revolu- uonary bistory, damned to the dust ? too much! My little daughter, who had been enjoying her jet secretly. at this moment came to the door, attracted by this blasphemous salute, and, takong it from her band, 1 held it firmly in my own, but not a word was spoken. Soon a bright spot in this motley mass was visible. A splendid carriage. accompanied by ¢legsntly mounted officers, evidently the flower of the army, was approaching. As they came near the house they caught the glimpse of the tiny flag, and exclaimed, “See! see! the flag, the Stars and Stripes!” ‘and, with trae chiy- alry, bats were removed and courtesies were offered the brarer, but not ber standard. They bad advanced some paces when a halt was ordered, and soon a lady—tien Miss Martha Sine, sive Mrs. James Arnold—ot Frederick, stamding pear with other ladies of the neighbor- hood, admonished me to fly with my colors. 1 did not fly, however, nor move, until an officer from the shove-named company rode up, and directing bis attention to me, I stepped’ for- ward, and the following remarks were ex- changed Officer.—Madam. give m- your flaz.

And no portion of Maryland bas suffered more trom the want cf railroads than Mr. S:oue's own District “Dom Pasquale” was sung last evening by the Testa Troupe at Metzerott Hall, in a style Which gave even more satisfaction to the lovers of music present than the “Barber of Seville’ the previous evening. The serenade, (Qn, Summer Night,” by Signor Testa, and the duet | which followed, by Madame Tests, and himself, were finely sung and elicited loud ap plause. Susini and Reina were geod as usual. ‘The company are encouraged by their success to offer another eatertainment on Sa/urday evening next, when the performance will con- sist of the first act of the “Barber ef Seville,” the second act of “Martha,” and the comic @ from the “Crispinoe Ia Comare.” Seats may be secured at Metzerot And now come the young men in their teens for the ballot! There is a suffrage movement on foot im Massachusetts to place the ballot in the bards of young men between the ages of eigbteen and twenty-one. It is headed by a young man by the name of Merger, and we are told, bas received the endorsement of Wendell Phillips, Franklin Haven, Benj. E. Bates, Geo. ©.

The report resembled that of a pistol, snd turning about, I saw bin tear my flag into pieces, and stamp them in the dust. I pro- nounerd this the act of a coward, and again turned to view the army, Among the young ladies present, but who died about the close of the war, was ‘Miss Mary Hopwood, daughter of Mr. James Hopwood, well-known as a Union citizen of Frederick. Seeing my fag cut down, she drew a concealed tlaglet from her sieeve and supplied the place of mine. In syotber mstant the second flag was cut down by the same man. As soon as the information Was conveyed to the officers, one man more advanced in years than either of thous already referred to, came back to the spot and reproved in sbarp language the man who cut down my tings.
