We learned, then, that the road, road-bed, tunnels, tills and bridges were of great importance; that the locomotive and cars were great in ventions ; but more important, than, those, than all, is the laborer, and tiding along in the express—for the passenger trains alone were permit ted to continue their work—and noting the miles on miles of cars, loaded and empty, upon the side tracks, with the locomotives aban doned—we counted one hundred and eighteen in one place—we realized for the first time Buchanan Read’s lines, stolen, by the bye, from Haw thorne : “ The locomotive by the laborer’* arm conveyed Dart* like a eh at tie through the loom of trade." A ATTORNEYS AT LAW, Athens, Ga The strike in this instance found a temporary solution from the bayonets of the Government. At Marlins- burg we saw a handful of soldiers forming in the fiico of twenty times their number, and we knew the con test was at an end ; for the gaunt, hungry-looking eyes of the laborers saw back of those bayonets the im mense power of a Government or ganized for their benefit and used for their oppression. In the mining districts of Pennsyl vania the gallows intervenes and Molly Maguires arc hung in bunches; here the bayonet more quietly and deceu*ly does the same 'work. A before it is too late.

Mulcahy, or Wilkins, as he is best known, gives every*,appearance of insanity, and tells the following story at the police office: He says be spent last night at his father’s bouse in New Worcester, and arising this morning said bus prayers, took a bath, and went out to walk toward Auburn, While passing along he was accosted by a fiend, which was hid from mortal right in the grass. In a load voice he commanded the fiend to bo gone, but it appeared several times afterward to him, once coming in the shape of a dog. Thus harrnssed by the evil spirit, and com missioned by the Lord to destroy it, he went to the hut of tlip Campbell: crazy man had drenched her will*. Notwithstanding her terrible condi tion .she was conscious, and on his entrance said, Frank, where were you when Jim Wilkins murdered me She then told him that Wil kins had been there, that he tore the close off from her body, threw the water upon her, then took iter limbs one by one in his hands and broke them across his knees and then poundcred her on the head, but she could not tell what weapon lie used. Subsequently the dying woman told substantia’ly the same story to some neighbors who called to see her. IIEK INJURIES.

It works at a loss, and every day the loss widens and deepens. The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company, that is earnestly endeavoring to do an honest business, finds itself in competition with bank rupt lines, that have no stockholders to consult or creditors to care for. We arc grieved to write it, but the company is losing. Thf continuation of such a contest is only a qucstibji of time. We must not Hatter ourselves that this unhappy war is at an end.

THE I* KI.SO NEK’S HISTORY. Mulcahy or Wilkins is an Irish- Ameriean, thirty-nine years old, and has f„r some years lived at times with his father tit New Worcester, working on farms. He has wandered in the West, and has frequently gone off on tramps for a month or so. This spring he figured in a row* in Wor- her of the evil spirit. He then j coster, and in which he alleged him- grabl.ed one leg, and bending it j S i*lf to have been robbed of quite a across bis own knee, broke it in sev- j sum of money. In the scuffle he eral places. In the same way lie j drew a knife and inflicted a severe broke the other leg and arms, and j sta.l> on his assailants. About a week then seized the body anj threw it on . lgu j, 0 W ;ls n lodger., at the police the floor, there jumping on it with his heavy shoes until, as he says, not a joint m tho 1 whole body was left unbroken. He then took pails of water and threw them over the man gled body, alleging that no evil spir it could survive the drowning pro cess. He then took the body and laid it back on the bed, covering it station, and then showed 1 some signs of insanity, so much so as to attract the investigation of the officers, but was at Lngth aliov ed to go. It is surmised that lately he hits been drinking hard, as he has been a man given to intoxication in the past, and his in. unity lias been produced by his debauchery. He is a large pow- up carefully, and without bis coat on, l erful fellow and in bis bands the In vision bright, the past appears, The men and deeds of former year*, Illustrious and grand; The rob of n.uui-s with glory crowned, That on this temple’s walls are found.
