A Touchinsr Incident of the Iiate War, From the Richmond (Va.) Enquirer, 20th. In a secluded spot in Hollywood, not far from the river, is the grave of a young woman, at the head of which is a neat marble slab, on which is in scribed the name of the deceased and three verses of the beautiful hymn commencing with the line " Asleep in Jesus." It has an interesting history : One day during the war a physician was sent for to a house of ill-fame to see one of its inmates. He found a pretty young woman sick, with slight disease, but laboring under that terri ble malady consumption. After the doctor had prescribed for her she man ifested a - desire to talk, and seemed anxious to disclose to him her history. He gratified her, and she told him she came from county, in the inte rior of the State. She had not loved wisely but too well, was betrayed, and then abandoned by the man to whom she gave the last proof of her affection. Overwhelmed with shame and re morse she came to Richmond, and en tered one of those houses which very few, once having entered, ever leave but for the grave. Her health was failing ; she ardently longed to leave the life she was following, and appeal ed to the doctor to try to find her a home elsewhere. She was willing to do the most menial work if she could get a home with respectable people ; to go anywhere or do anything, to be taken away from the companions and scenes of the life she was leading. The doctor was interested in her, and with that true benevolence which charac terizes the profession, exerted himself to comply with her request, lie rela ted the circumstances to a professional brother, and the two succeded in get ting her a home with a poor widow lady in the suburbs of the city, upon the condition that when she was able she was to assist in the work of the household, and when she was not, that the doctors were to pay her board. She went to her new homer grateful and almost happy. She worked when she could, but was almost always sick. After having been with the widow lady a month or two she professed conver sion. Her health steadily declined, and one day when the doctor went to see her she said to him, " Doctor, I know I have not long to live, and do not suppose when I die any one will think of putting a monument over the grave of a poor castaway like myself; but if there is anything done to mark my grave I should like to have one verse, if no more, of the beautiful hymn, "Asleep in Jesus," &c, over the spot in which my body lies. It is a beautiful hymn, so consoling, and sounds to me so much like peace and rest." She lingered a few weeks longer and died. He death was peaceful and triumphant. Her body was laid in a quiet spot in the cemetery, and the doctor who had been her friend in life saw that her last request was complied with. A neat marble slab was erected at her head, and three verses of the hymn she loved so well mark the spot where the repentant Magdalene sleeps. Mmsiso Notes. We copy the fol lowing from the Terre Haute (Ind.) Journal: A gentleman of this city has a num ber of notes, executed by various per sons in favor of B. C. Sanders, who was a captain in the Confederate army. u.he notes embrace in amount, in the aggregate, ten, or twelve thousand dol lars and were found in a Confederate encampment near Spring Hill, Tennes see, after the retreat of the Confederates from Nashville. These notes may be valuable to Capt S., and he can learn in whose possession they are by ad dressing the editor of this paper ; and they will be forwarded to him if he desires it and will furnish his address. Its History in a Nutshell. From the Baltimore Son, 11. The last rail on the Pacific Railroad was laid at Promontory Point, near the junction of the Union Pacific and Cen tral Pacific roads, at noon yesterday. As each stroke of the hammer drove in the last pike, the fact was announc ed by simultaneous telegraphio messa ges to the chief cities of the Atlantic and the Pacific. There is some two hours and a half difference of time be-, tween Promontory Point and Balti more, and it was 2:50 p. m., when the first hammer stroke was announced here. The formal consummation of so CTand an enterprise deserves to be her alded by such an agent as electricity. Imperfect as the road is considered to be by those competent persons who have had a good opportunity of exam ining it, and unfortunate as it was that the President was arrested by his la borers for money alleged to bo due, on the very day the work was supposed to be finished, it may be regarded virtu ally as an accomplished fact, no matter how large the amount that may yet be required to make it what it professes to be. Such a work is only more valuable, but more truly glorious than all the achievements of war. The commercial and political consequences of this ex traordinary achievement are almost beyond calculation. The region be tween the Pacific slope and the Missis sippi valley will be rillod with hardy and productive settlers, the new terri tories will be populated, the mining; regions developed, the Mississippi yal ley will become a great seat ol manu factures, to say nothing of the Asiatic trade which may find its way across this national highway. In addition to all this, the Pacific States will be bound by ties of direct commercial and social intercommunication with the rest of the Union, identifying their interest with their own, removing what Humbolt calls tho "barriers that make men stran gers which is generally only another name for enemies and nothing is so elficacious in accomplishing this end, so devoutly to be wished, as promoting intercourse between man and man." It is indeed a great work, not onlv of union, but ol civilization, and even hu manity, bringing into closer contact not only our Atlantic and Pacific States, but the oldest and the youngest em pires of the world. Any man who had predicted fifty year 6 ago iliitt by buieute, ana the prac- ticai application oi it, tno Atlantic would be brought nearer in this year to the Pacific than New York then was to Boston, would have exposed himself to strong doubts of his sanity. Yet this seeming maniacal fancy has been realized. Deserts and mountains have in vain interposed. The line across the continent is so long that trains upon it are run by eight or ten different times, and a contemporary suggests that "ultimately we shall have a double set of hands upon all watches one for local tune, and one lor a general time uniform all over the world." At noon in New York it is 9 a. m., in San Francisco. Hence, we were at fifty minutes past two in Baltimore-when, at uoon yesterday, as above stated, the telegraph "shed its lightnings" from Promontory Point to herald this grand victory of peace. The methods and principles now so successfully applied may have established in former gener ations, but it has been reserved for this generation to witness what may be styled, with almost literal accuracy, an annihilation of time and space. It is said that a Pacific road was fore shadowed before the age of railways of Jonathan uarver, m 1778. In 1835 Rev. Samuel Parker recorded his opin ion in nis journal ol an overland trio that the mountains presented no insu perable obstacle to a railway. But the most remarkable foresight was evinced by Lewis Gaylord Clark, who in loda wrote in his popular magazine, -ivuiuKeruocner : " a.ne reader is chartered by Congress from the Missis sippi to the Pacific. One of the great est difficulties to be apprehended on the Pacific road is snow, which, upon the Sierras, sometimes falls to the depth of thirty feet, and which caused last year a considerable detention of trains, al though 22 miles of what are called snow sheds are erected to protect the track. An early result, however, of this line is expected to be the securing a Southern line, which will be required by the necessities of trade, and secure from the wintry obstructions to the present route. It has been remarked that oppor tunely with the notes of preparation for the grand opening of the railway yes terday came news of the progress made by the East India Telegraph Company in coupling Canton with Calcutta, Lon don ad New York. By tho end of the year, when the line is expected to be completed, San Francisco will send her news for China east and her ships west, will transmit orders for teas and silks three-fourths of the way around the globe in a moment, and will receive the shipments from an opposite direc tion in a little over a fortnight. The distances across the continent are given as follows: New York to Omaha, (point of commencement of the Union Pacific railroad,) 1,479 miles; Omaha to Ogden, (point of commencement of the Central Pacific road,) 1,030 miles, with the addition of a branch to Salt Lake City, 40 miles ; Ogden to Sacra mento, 748 miles; Sacramento to San Francisco, 120 miles -making the whole distance from New York to San Francisco 3,377 miles. From Balti more to Omaha the distance is 1,187 miles, so that there is a difference of 292 miles in favor of Baltimore as against New York in the railroad route across the continent, from the shipping point to shipping point on either side. From the advanced sheets of a new edition of Richardson's "Beyond the Mississippi," we learn that "of the eighteen hundred miles between Oma ha and Sacramento not one-third is really mountainous, but more than two thirds were so counted, and received the higher Government endowment 32,000 or $48,000 per mile. Much of tho Central Pacific traverses a flat coun try, yet not one mile received less than 32,000. The Uuion Pacific obtained tho highest mileage, $48,000, for one hundred and hlty miles west of Uhey- .a 1 , a enne, neavy mountain worn, though the region is really one long, inclined plane "as fine a country to build a railway through as lies on the face of the globe."

In 1846 Asa Whitney began to urge his project upon State Legislatures and popular gatherings, proposing to build a railway from the Mississippi to Puget Sound (California was not vet settled by whites) if Congress would give him public lands to the width of thirty miles along the entire line. In 1850 the first Pacific railroad bill was intro duced into Congress by Thomas II Benton. It contemplated a railway only "where practicable." leaving traDS in the impassable mountains to be fill ed up by a wagon road. As yet, even the Alleghanies were not crossed by any unbroken railway, but bv a series of inclined planes, upon which the cars were urawn up and let down by sta tionary engines. In 1 854-5, by direc ui vuugress, nine routes were surveyed to the Pacific, on various nnr allels, between the British possessions tiuu juexico. in Uongress author ized the construction of three roads a northern, a southern, and a central and thus indicated our natural and in evitable trans-continental system. They were to receive no money endow ment, out very liberal land grants. But before any active steps were taken to build them, all such enterprises were extinguished for the time by the late civil war. The Central Pacific Rail road Company was, however, chartered by the California Legislature in the midst of the war, and as a continent railway began to be considered a mili tary necessity, in July, 1862, one was THE TOVMG WIDOW.

The Sugar Trade Revolu tion in the Old System. It has been for many years a fixed belief among practical men that the success of sorghum as a producer of . . 1 .. .1 A.' surar wouia revolutionize me enure sugar interest of the West Indies and the Southern States. About a year ago a company was established in Kentucky, having for its object a thorough experiment in the manufacture of sugar from the Chi nese cane. This company made its headauarters in Louisville, and went to work in a ouiet and business-like way. Its experiment is now an un doubted success. About eight miles out of town, on the plantation of Mr. John II. Seebolt. sugar of the very finest description is being made out of sorghum in lar?e Quantities. All the original difficulties have oeen vanquish ed. Not an obstacle remains in the way of the enterprise. It is a com plete success. Ho one can investigate thB matter without coming away with a very strong impression onliis mind that the .. i :j threatened revolution is in rapiu yiu- m-fiss of fulfillment. This sugar is in no way inferior to the best West In dia sugar, and it can be manufactured at one half the cost of West India sugar. It would be tedious and perhaps impossible to make plain to the mind of the reader the details ot the process of manufacture. It is simple and, and the machinery, as we learn, is not ex pensive ; but it is necessarily full of technicalities, which would require the aid of illustrations to be described. Suffice it to say that the manufacture is in actual progress, and that there is no reasonable doubt that it will be come a leading article of export from this market before the end of the present year. Courier-Journal. i'JttDui OTJDA. The South. Hitherto, says the New York Day- Book, the Sonth has loaded our vessels for European trade, and has also been the market for all our wares. The permanent result of the war will inevi tably be to strip the North of these great advantages, which were the real Eource of our wealth. Here is the ex cuse which the merchants of New York, Philadelphia and Boston gave for prosecuting the war : Thev said. "the North cannot afford to let the South go, because it Would ruin us. financially." And so the madmen sup plied money for a war which they imag ined was to keep the South as the great market for its wares and as its most profitable customer. The Day-Booh tried in vain to beat it into the dull heads of this merchant class that war was precisely the most effectual war of everlastingly creaking up those reia-1 tions between the North and South which were the source of such immeas urable benefits to us. But this mer chant class was mad. Everybody was mad. A whole people seemed to have turned fool in an hour, and went screaming about a flag which they had converted into an engine of blood, des potism, and idle, vagabond negroes. Ihey deliberately set themselves to work to ruin the land which was our market, and to destroy the system of negro labor which was the fountain of more than two-thirds of all our annual profits. The poor working people, or the mechanics, of the North were persuaded into a system of vengeance and butchery which has annihilated those staples of the South which employed, directly and indi rectly, more than two-thirds of their industry. Now the merchants of the North are sinking into despair under the pressure of "hard times,' which is due almost entirely to their own folly of lending- money to destroy the labor system of the South, and the mechanics and laborers of the North begin in earnest to feel the terrible pinching of want, which was born en tirely of the accursed negro war. They were poor fellows, fooled into doing the butchery of their own race, to put the neeroes where thev have to be supported by a tax upon themselves. T t m t a V A AM li tne wrath oi viod ever gave men up to the unchecked bunetmgs o aevii, we, in tne xorth, surely are that people. Ever since tho war has closed, the Northern press nas studied to deceive the people as to the actual condition of the country. The com mon sense of the crowd felt that everything was. gojng wrong. and to be again and again used for their own destruction. But all classes the North may make up their Four Chariots of Zaeha riali.

As t turned and lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and behold, there came four chariots out from between two mountains; and the mountains were mountains of brass. In the first chariot were red horses, and in the second chariot black horses. And in the third chariot white horses ? and in the fourth chariot gris ted and bay horses. Then 1 answered and said unto the angel that talked with me what are these, my lord? And the angel answered and said unto me, these are the four spirits of the heavens, which go forth from landing before the Lord of all the earth.

The springing up of numerous factories down there, writes the dread name of "Ichabod, thy glory is departing ! up Book Farming-. Many farmers are prejudiced against what they call "book farming." Ask one of them to subscribe for an agri cultural periodical, and you are met by some such-reply as this: "I never knew one of , your scientific men to make anything at farming." Now, the facl is, that hundreds of scientific, or " book" farmers, throughout tho country, are eminently successful in thoir agricultural operations. Our narrow-minded friend may not, and probably does not know this, but that is his misfortune, and not the fault of science. A farmer who does not read agricultural books and papers cuts him self off from the means of obtaining much valuable information from the moat intelligent men of his own calling. He thereby does himself an injury. If bo a man of family, the- evil does . not atop there. The prejudice of - tho father are infused into the mifidsof tho children, thereby working - injury to them. This absurd prejudice against the application of science to agricultural pursuits, was once wide spread; but those who wish to see their country and its people progressive and prosper' ous. may take consolation n the thought that it is fast wearing out.
