F&IDAY, June 23, Wli.
Kaiseo.-—The United Presbyteri
ans Lwt year resolved to raise fi re
of /lofljtrs as a memorial
fnnd for various church and charit
able purposes. In the General As->
••inbly at Chicago on the 24th, the
amount realized was reported, and
was fomxl to be $7,601,499 91 !-
This wonderful result, this unex
pected iibera&f, so excited the As
sembly th afr it dissolved in tears of
joy, singing upraise God from
whom all blessings flow.’’ This is
one of th* liappy results flowing
from the union of the Old and New
School Assemblies, and concentrat
ing the denomination under one
bead. Tbs increase in church mem
bership last year was 21,071,341.
Sabbath Schools organized, 153
churches built, 186 repaired or en
larged, etc. >* g -
Tit* Germans. —Saturday was
a big day tor the Gorman Empire.
The formal trrnmpbal entry of the
German troops into Burlin, the cap
ital, took place. .
The triumphant entry was unpre
cedentedly grand in the closing
scene. Bismaick then approached
the Emperor and asked leave to
aaveit the statue. The Emperor
bowed and Bismarck moved his
band when the canvass fell from
the statute, while drums rattled
and trumpets blared and the stan
dards of guards were lowered to
wards the statue. The troops pre
sented arms and cheered loudly and
H salute was fired of one hundred
and one guns. The church bells
broke into instantaneous ringing,
while out of the turmoil the nation
al aur, resolved itself. The Empe*
ror, helmet in hand, then approach
ed his lather’s statue and walked
slowly around it. ‘ The bands
struck up “Fun Ihcnket alle gatt"
and the troops jolued in singing the
hymn.

Death of Mr. Vallandigham.
The admirers of true statesman
ship everywhere, will learn with
deep sorrow of the death of this
fearless Ohio statesman. A fatal
aoeideot happened to hit* at the
Cfruit House in\ LebgmAi, Ohio.
He was demonstrating to feiiow
counsel in a murder ease, how a
dead man might have shot himself
accidtntally ; and having upon the
table a loaded, and an empty pistol,
unlbrUmateljr- picked up. the. loaded
one, which went oil’, t«,e bail passing
through his abdomen. Eor a time
the physicians entertained slight
hope of his recovery ; but he finally
expired. ' 5
And thus passed away one of the
national men of ouc day. The
path of ‘duty to his country was
carefully sought, by him, and when
once discovered to his mind, the
surging billows of popular prejudice,
and the probability of defeat had
no terrors for him. His recent ac
tion in regard to what was called
the “ new departure” of the Wes
tern Democracy— i. e., the accept
ance and support of the Constitu
tion as it is—brought upon his head
the anathemas of many, and aroused
the suspicions of some, as to his
fealty to the Democratic party;
but wo now see that-some who at
first condemned him are crawling
up to Ids stand-point as the inevita
ble position of the party, in the ap
proaching Presidential campaign.
The great work of allaying the
prejudices of our people, both
North and South, and bringing
about that mutual understanding
between the two sections of our
country recently at war—the only
road to true and lasting peace—has
lost a faithful and effective laborer
in the untimely death of Mr. Val
l?ndigham, of Ohio.
Hon. A H. Stephens.
This highly honored Georgian
has made a “new departure” and
gone into the newsj>aper business—
having assumed control the po
litical department of the Atlanta
Daily Sun. This paper, under the
enterprising business management
of our friend Spaights, has been on
rising ground from its commence
ment, aud in the able hands of Mr.
Stephens, must soon take its place
as the leading Democratic paper of
Georgia, and one of the leading po
litical journal* of the land.
Below we give the salnatory of
Mr. Stephens, which appeared in
last Saturday’s San:
Since the “Announcement” of
Mr. Spaights on the 16th inst., it is
proper for me to state to the pat
rons of the Sun that, iu consenting,
as one of the proprietors, to take
charge of the Political Department
of this paper, my object is to make
it a true organ of the Jeffersonian
principles of the Fedetal Govern'
rnent, under which the Peoples of
the United States lived in so great
peace, prosperity and happiness for
more than ba’f a century. The ob
ject will he to advocate such doc
trines as will secure a perpetual
and harmonious union of the States
under the Constitution, in the spi it
and for the-purposes for Which it
Was originally made by the fathers;
and upon the principles announced
by Jefferson, maintained by Madi
son, and set forth bv Gen. Jackson
in his “ authorized ” explanation of
the principles of his Proclamation
on the Nullification movement m
South Carolina in 1832, and in his
Farewell Address. . r
Upon these principles and those
announced by Gen. Washington, he
who was “first in war, first in
peace, and first in the hearts of his
countrymen/* The Sun will stand.
Its position will be, that the Gov
ernment of the United States is a
“ Confederated ” or “ Federal Re
public,” formed by the States, pos
sessing in itself no inherent Sover
eignty ; but that, all its sovereign
Powers—which are specific and
limited—are held entirely by dele
gation from the several States, and
that the States are absolutely Sover
eign in the exercise of all reserved
or undelegated powers.
The Suu, under my general con
trol of its political course, will con
tinue to stand upon tbe principles
of the platform of the . Democratic
Party of the Union, as announced
in their last General Uonvention at-
New York, in 1868. ; , .. .
A chief object will be to show by
calm and argumentative appeals to
the good sense and patriotism of
the true friends of, the Constitution,
North as well as South, that any
departure from the principles of
that platform will be exceedingly
dangerous if not fatal, to the liber
ties of the wholo country.
The great “ living issue” now be
fore the Peoples of the United
States, is between Consolidation,
Centralism and Empire on the one
side, and the saered sovereign right
of local self government by the Peo
ples of the several States on the oth
er ; or, in other words; The great
question now is, whether the Peo
ples of these States are to live un
der a government of laws or a gov
ernment of bayonets. This is the
great practical, absorbing, “ living
issue ” at this time.
With regard to the past usurpa
tions and revoluiionju'y. measures
of Congress since the restoration of
the Union iu 1865, by the resump
tion of their obligations to the Un
ion under the Constitution, by nil
the States which had attempted to
withdraw from it, and for which
alone the war was professed to bo
waged in opposition to this attempt,
The Sun will advocate and enjoin
strict obedience to all acts of Con
gress and acts of State Legislatures
under them which'have the form of
law as expounded by the courts,
State and Federal, and imposed by
those in authority clothed with
power to execute them.
Constitutional liberty is the off
spring of Reason—not of physical
(jbrce.&>
'•ffbarectification of all political
wrongs and usurpations under’ our
system* of Government, should be
sought through the instfirmeatafi-'
ties of the Constitution—through
the peaceful operation of the ballot
—the Legislative, Judicial, and Ex
ecutive Departments of the Govern
ment. 4 . i
But no people devoted to Con.
stitutioual law, need ever expect to
secure a rectification of admitted
usurpations of power by granting,
in advance, a general absolution to
the perpetrators of them. The po
sition of The Sun towards all usur
pations by Congress, will be the
same as that of Mr. Jefferson to
wards the “ Alien and Sedition”
acts. Tliis is quite enough for the
present.
It is proper, however, to add for
general inibrmation, that it is not
my intention to change ray present
residence. There is no prospect of
my ever being able physically to do
so, even if I were inclined. AH
communications, therefore, to me,
connected with my engagement
with The Sun, most be addressed
to me at this place.

The New Hampshire Triumph.
The final defeat of the Radicals
in New Hampshire includes the
loss, by that party, of every depart
ment of the State government. It
is accomplished under circumstances
whieh make it doubly bitter to the
defeated party. They fought their
fate, step by Btep, resorting to all
kinds of filibustering expedients to
stave off a result which was inevit
able from 'the first. It was attained
at last, on the ballot for Governor,
by a decisive majority of eight in
joint convention. This was obtain
ed by the folly of the Radicals
themselves as much as by the superior
generalship of the Democrats. The
latter seem to have managed their
position very well, throughout the
whole of a struggle ag close and
sharp as it was unprecedented and
peculiar.
It was. theirs by right to elect
the Governor since he led the Rad
ical candidate so largely in the pop
ular vote. The Labor Reform par
ty, though not a large, was a deci
sive element in the whole proceed
ing, from the ballot-box election in
March to the legislative choice in
June. They .held the balance of
power ; and they have acted with
the Democrats. Out_of all patience
with them the moment they are
found to be beyond the reach of
Republican party tactics, the Bos
ton Advertiser, the leading Repub
lican journal of Massachusetts, de
nounces the Labor Reform party,
and snceringly says its natural posi
tion is that of the “ tail to the Dem
ocratic kite.”
The New Hampshire Democracy
have done very well, and secured a
strong and complete position as
the governing party of the State,
which they will not be likely to lose.

Narrow Gnage Railroads.’
The subject of narrow guage
Railroads is now being freely dis
cussed all over the country. It is
probable, of thelines pro
jected in our State .will be built
narrow guage; consequently it will
be interesting to our readgrß to pe
ruse the following in relation to the
road at Festimong, Wales, where
the narrow guage was first pat into
practical use • .
Let us then lake a trip along the"
interesting RttTe railway, and see
what it is and what it tloee. Ar
rived at Portemadoc Station, we
find the train in . Availing—a train
which looks almost like a child’s
toy, so dimitinUve is it compared
to what wo are accustomed to see.
One.might nearly sit astride the en
gine, and the Carriages look as
though a push would set them, go
ing. The passenger carriages are
of two kinds; in tirose of the oldest
make the seats are arranged length
wise, the passengers sitting back to
back, as in an Irish jaunting-car, In
those of more recent build the seats
are placed crosswise as in ordinary
railway carriages, and accommo-
date three passengers to each seat,
or twelve to a carrige; for summer
tourists there are open carriages,
with lengthwise seats and awnings
overhead; aud for the quarrymeu,
large numbers of whom go up the
line every Monday morning aud Re
turn every* Saturday, there are low,
open cars, without coverings, which
each carry* a dozen workmen. The
carriage floor being raised very, lit
tle above the ground level, there is
no need . for platforms at the sta
tions, and one step lands us in the
carriage. Leaving Portemadoc,
we pass along a straight and nearly
level embankment, almost a raije in
length, which carries the line over
Traeth Mawr, or the estuary of the
Beddgelaat river. This being cross
ed we immediately commence our as
’ cent into the mountain country, the
line from this point rising the whole
way until it reaches its terminus;
the gradients .vary from 1 in 60.08
to 1 in 16S—the average gradient
being L in 92 for 12$ miles. „ Wo
can hardly help crediting the little
engine with a conscious pluck and
determination as it manfully climbs
these steep inclines, and draws aiter
it its long train of carriages and
wagons. The line runs through
the most enchanting and romantic
scenery, and at times in our upward
journey we look straight down into
the beautiful, fertile valley below,
three or four hundred feet beneath
us, and along it to the sparkling
sea beyond, while the rugged rocks
rise high on the other hand, and we
gaze up to the mountain tops. On
wo go, along our winding Avay,
turning and twisting, as the engine,
like a thing of life, seems ta choose
its mountain path with the nicest
discrimination. At times the
curves round which we sweep are
so small and follow each other in
such rapid succession that neither
the engine nor the brake van can
be seen by a passenger in the mid
dle of the train, and the train it
self will be on three different carves
at once; at other times the line
takes* a long sweep along the side
of a great natural basin, almost
doubling back upon itself as it
seeks it* rvay to the higher ground.
The curves, indeed, form one of
the most marvelous features of this
little line. The railway is nearly
all curves ; in some cases they are
not more than ]£ chains in radius,
yet trains glide round them with
the utmost case, clinging to the
mounta’n sides and following their
outlines with unfailing fidelity.—
Part of the journey., by the invita
tion of Mr. Spooner, avc perform
on a log of timber, some 50 or 60
feet in length; this affords us capi
tal opportunity of judging of the
capabilities of the line, and avc are
no less surprised than pleased to
find.fhart tve pass over the line aS
steti&ily and Smoothly as in most
first class carriages bn ordinary lines.
The log is carried on a couple of
“bogle” trucks, aud its passage over
the sharp Gurves is absolutely im
perceptible. As we approach the
upper-end of the railway we Bee,
on either baud, several branches
ruaning high up into the mountains
to the quarries from which the
slates are conveyed to the port be
low. On all these, the gradients
being very steep, the traffic is work
ed by gravity, the loaded trucks
coming down to the quarry termini
on the main line and drawing the
empty trucks tip by means es large
windlasses. The return journey
down the main line is also perform
ed by gravity. Taking our seat in
a little open car, we make a rapid
descent to Portemadoc, spinning
along at the rate of about thirty
miles an hour .-without either trac
tion or propulsion, thus serving to
show us very forcibly" the gradients
with which "the engine had to-con
tend on the upward journey.
For its whole course" the line, as
will have been gathered, runs
through a rocky country, yet, ovr
iiig to the sharp curves which have
been available through the use of
the very narrow guage, cutting,
tunnelling, »fcc., have been avoided
in a very remarkable manner. The
greatest cutting is 27 feet, the
greatest filling or embankment 60
feet, and there are only two tun no Is
in the mjles, one-of 730 yards
and the .other 60 yards.

Obituary*
Barnett Statuak, whose death occurred
yesterday at the residence of his brother-in
law, Rev~ Thomas Muse, was one ofthoiemen
whose names should not be permitted to pass
aw*v without a notice. He was born in 1796,
. and died Juue22d, IS* l, ot ulceration of the
stomach, which d-seaee, though a lingering
one. lie bore with an u-jusual degree of forti
tude and resignation.
It isuuuedrssary to dwell long upon the
life and character of the deceased, as he was
we 1 1 known ta the country generally, and in
this city, particularly, b'a name Was a house
hold word; while n*<o'i the, hearts of the few
who were not prevent'd by his secluded tesi
de *ce aud tiiseraed body, from social inter
course, be has left, an indelible impresbiou of
dist-uguished worth.
With unwavering, faith .iu the
tive truths of the religion of Christ, he culti
vated nobly that enduring charity whieh is its
highest manitestatioa, aud lived and died as
one of thoee worthy to be held in everlasting
remembrance.
None knew bat t> respect and love hiss,
and all will weep at bis departure «■
among us. A son, two daughters, and a sis
ter, and many friends are left to mourn his loss,
and in their deep sorrow over tbe mournful
event, they have the heartfelt sympathies of
the entire community. A Fribnd.

about the 6th of May last, upon the body of
Marcellas W. Park, by,One Matthew Harris-;
and •
Wherous, the Sheriff of said county certifies
to me that lie has made diligent search for the
said Harris in the county of Jackson and the
counties adjacent thereto., but has failed tp ap
prehend him, and therefore suggests the offer
iug of a suitable reward as a means ol insuring
the arrest of said Hanks ;
Now, therefore, I have thought proper to is
sue this my proclamation, hereby offering a
reward of One Thousand Dollars for the ap
prehension and delivery of the said Matthew
Harris, with evidence sufficient to convict, to
the Sheriff of said county of Jackson, in order
that he may be brought to trial for the offense
