RAIL ROADS.

As this subject now occupies the minds ofa part
of this community, the following brief statement 0
their advantages above Canals, from Correspon-
dent of the Boston Daily Advertiser, is published.
The railway requires but one third the quantity
of land that is required for CANAL exclusive Of
ponds reservoirs, and feeders.
The railway requires one man and horses to
transport 81 tons 4 miles per hour
The railway may be attended and keptn repair
for onetenth that of a canal.
Railways give the greatest possible facility to tra-
veers. Canals retard them.
Railways may be easily passed in all places re-
quired Canals only by bridges.
Railways interfere with no water privileges, Ca
mails destroy many
Railways are subject to no Interruptions, except
from snow which is easily removed.
Canals are subject to be interrupted by droughts,
flood, trosts, leakages, and locks.
Railways carry their freight to the doors of the
warehouses.
Canals deliver their freight upon the wharf.
A railway can be constructed for half the cost 0
a canal per mile.
railway may be used twelve months in the
. year.-A canal but seven months.
The toll ofpassengers will pay the interest on thu
, cost of a railway.
The toll of passengers on a canal is very trltiing
Half the common rates of toll on canal will b
sufficient to pay the whole expense OF Transports
, hon on railway, including the toll.

, railways. Canals can never get over lhem
Rivers and streams are much more easily pas

We receive, and see, many letters from different
parts OF the country, containing sentiments similar
TO those expressed in the extract below but we
do not deem it worth while to give them publicity,
except where circumstances attach to them particu-
lar weight. Such is the case with the following.
1t comes from gentleman known and respected
through large portion Of the Union, and one,
moreover, who has been, until recently, warm
friend to the election Of General Jackson. With
out rneanngto express towards that distinguished
citizen any thing like personal disrespect we ex-
press the belief as well the hope, that such Il
change OF opinion as the writer in regard to
the members of the present Administrator, is adj
vancng with rapid pace in almost every part of the
country.
Extract ofa letter from gentleman IN Pennsylvansu,
to his friend IN this City.
Mr.. CLAY's Address came here this week. It
is calculated to carry the conviction to every nn-
bassed mind, that he and his friends not guilty,
and that the charge preferred against them through
Mr.. KREnER originated with General Jackson. My
own sentiments in relation to Mr.. CLAY have un-
dergone change. can now cordially sympathse
with him. No man Of eminent talents and efficiency
of character escape the tongue OF caluniny.
None can hope TO come out more trlumphantly than
it now appears to me MIR. CLAY must do.''

disease (varoloid) if am not mistaken made its first
appearance in Scotland six seven years ago, and
Doctor Thomson of ofEdinburgh was the first also to
describe satisfactorily, its symptoms, cause and char
acter, as distinct and separate disease from any
heretofore known 1t made its first appearance IN
this country at Philadelphia in the winter of 1884
at which time and place the continent and distinct
Small Pox were also prevailing. The penetrating
eye the far-famed faculty ofthat city, now in
its native meridian and every ray of light was con-
centrated ON the and character of this unlock

it was clearly demonstrated, that the disease now in
question, (yariolod) is one of specific origin and
characler to either the continent distinct Small
, Pox, and necessarily demanded course of treat
ment peculiar to itself wherever it might prevail.
The Varioloid is disease of shorter duration in
all stages, than either Of the Small Pox and is also
much milder and less fatal in its consequences. Al
ter the eruption on the surface which generally takes
place on the third fourth day, the fe, er subsidies
and the patient is comparatively comfortable. The
pusues are far less numerous than in the mlldest
form of Small Pox, and of much more concal figure.
Vaccination as preventive to this disease (vario-
oid) is equally ehcacious in either form Of Small
Pox. This has been fairly proven by the infallbe
ordeal of practical experience. The yari,loid Vi

The grand Sanhedrim of the Common
wealth was gathered together last Wednes-
day. In the Senate, after that body was
called to order by Mr.. Lathrop of Hamp-
den, a quorum being present they pro-
ceeded to ballot for President. There
were five trials before choice was effect
ed. On the fourth ballotation the votes
stood for Mr.. Leland of Norfolk Ia, for
Mr. Reyes of Middlesex IA. On the fifth
Mr.. L. stood at 10, Mr.. K. at IL, and Mr..
Leland was therefore declared duly elect
ed President of the Senate for the ensuing
political year. Paul Willard, Esq. was
unanimously reelected Clerk.
A committee was appointed in the Sc
nate to consider and report on the subject
of choosing electors of President and Vice
President. The mode to be adopted I'M
doubtedly will be to choose by general
ticket, IN order to carry the whole vote
ofthe State for Mr.. Adams, who is empha-
ticaly the candidate of Massachusetts.
Though the district system in the abstract
seems the best, yet, under existing cir
cumstances, in these times of political dis
traction, and especially as many of the
States have adopted the general ticket
system, it is the duty of this State to con-
centrate its power in aid of its own candi-
date. On Thursday no important business
was transacted in the Senate. 1t appears
that there was no vacancy in Franklin,
the votes Of the town of Leyden being in
cluded gave Mr.. Longley majority of the
whole. The return from Leyden was
dated in 1927 instead of 1928; but suffi-
Gent matter of record appearing to include
these votes in 1923, the Senate decided
that Mr. L. was duly elected.
On Friday the President appointed the
following standing committees:
On Judiciary, Messrs. Gray, Strong,
and Barnard. On Matters of Probate and

U7Our old and very attentive correspondent, az
Boston. has our thanks for his excellent account of
the proceedings of the legislature Our readers will
be glad to learn that are'promised continuation
Of our correspondents fayours during the session.
As far as we can Judge from opinions expressed IN
the newspapers. the selection of presiding officers Of
the two Houses meets the publick appreciation. In
the selection of Counseors, also, the people have
some cause to congratulate themselves that the mar
row and exclusive spirit which has for several years
been particularly apparent in the choice Of members
of this important board is gradually giving away to
more liberal and enlightened views and feelings.
-rTWe publish the details to-day of several disas-
trous fires in the city of New Others ofiess con-
sequence have recently taken place. They are all
supposed to be the work of incendiaries The Bow
ery Theatre was insured to the amount of $1,000
dollars-30 or 10000 not insured. One of the New
York papers mentions that two incendiaries have
been seen at their internal work, but they escaped
The proprietors of the theatre have already made
arrangements for rebuilding it, on the same spot, in
more splendid style. The Park theatre in New
York was burnt on the 25th May, 1920 The ex-
citement produced by these repeated incendiaries
has induced number of the Insurance Offices to
offer reward of $1,000 for the detection Of any per-
son who has been guilty of setting fire to any of the
buildings lately burnt, who shall, within three
months, be guilty of setting fire to building, with
intent to destroy it.
UTFew things touch the sensibility of editors so
much as 70 see their own productions transplanted
to the columns of their contemporaries, without de-
signation oftheir origin. We were Aattered to see
small paragraph of ours making very conspicu-
appearance under the editorial head of the last
Concord Feoman's Gazette, but should have been
quite as well pleased to have seen Lancaster Ga
=ette at the bottom of it.

ENCOURAGEMENT TO DUELLIsTs. We
lately mentioned the occurrence of a duel in
Virginia, in which Mr.. Crump was killed
by DIR. Archer. The scene was acted near
the Court House, where the Supreme Court
was in session, and the Judges heard the
crack of the pistols! The Richmond En-
quirer gives the following account of DIR.
Archer's trial, if trial it may be called
con yesterday the trial of Doctor Branch T. Ar
cher, of the principals in duel lately fought at
Powhatan, came on, and after the examination OF
the witnesses the court acquitted him unanimously,
without even requiring any argument from the Com
monwealth's Attorney, or of the Attorneys for the
defendant. After which DIR. Archer made a true
statement of all the facts connected with the affair
which heard by large audience to the satisfac-
ton of all present"
To which the N. Y. Commercial Adv. adds i:
"Ahora bien, as the Spaniard says. This is a
new way of trying man for murder There seems
to have been no indictment, nor even petit jury.
But the Court acquitted him unanimously, without
even requiring the pubck prosecutor to do his duty
Affer which acquittal, they were edited by true
statement Of all the facts from the homicide! This
statement i" was heard by large audience to the
satisfaction of all present" All were therefore
satisfied that Mr.. Crump was dead, and with the
mariner in which he was killed Avery humane and
benevolent audience, truly"

CoNGREss has at length terminated its
session. Both houses sat until IL o'clock at
night on Saturday the gath ult. and adjourn
ed to 6 O'Clock on Monday morning: and
after short session on that morning ad-
journed. The "Jarvis outrage" has ended
in smoke. On Friday Mr.. Gorham, of Bos-
ton, offered the following resolutions =
Resolved, That Russell Jarvis, having been guilty
of a breach of the privileges of this House, the
Speaker do forthwith issue his warrant directed to
the Sergeant at Arms, to take said Jarvis into custo
dy and bring him to the bar of the House. and that
said Jarvis be there reprmanded by the Speaker for
said offence, and be then discharged,
ResolUed That the Speaker be requested to with
hold from said Jarvis during this and the next
ion Of Congress, the courtesy usually extended to
Editors of Newspapers, of an admission to the floor
of this House.
A desultory debate arose upon these reso-
lutions, which Mr. Gorham wished to be
printed, because, he said, he could never
consent to have an impression 60 abroad
that he assented to the doctrines of the re-
port made by the Committee on this subject.
Mr.. G.. was q member of the Committee, and
one ofthe minority who held that some punish
mont ought to be inflicted upon Russell JAR
Wis. The debate occasioned some excite
ment and warmth-membegs differing in
opinion not only as to the merits of question
itself, but as to the propriety and expedien-
cy of adopting the resolutions. They were
finally ordered to be printed. An attempt
to introduce similar resolutions into the Sc
nate on Saturday failed. A noisy and dis
orderly discussion arose on motion to pass
vote of thanks to the speaker. 1t was
objected to as not being common at the close
of the first session; but finally passed. A
letter from Washington, dated Saturday
evening, says =
In consequence of the discussion on the motion
ior vote of thanks to the Speaker great deal of
business which expected to be acted this
ing, was lad over. The whole appearance of the
TWO houses This evening was complete scene Of
cenfusion.-Idoaot complain of the ladies' who were
present IN unusual numbers. 1t is customary for
them to be admitted 10 the floor on the last evening
OF the session ; but this evening, there was com
pete rush OF young men, who filed all the avenues
and who have been heretofore admitted to the
House on any occasion. It was we'll observed by
member, that the ladies had obtained possession o
the chair, and had maintained arbitrary rule Re
porters and members all driven from their seats
and every avenue to the House was complete block
ed up The bills making appropriations for the pub

One hundred and sixty-two acts, and siz
resolutions, were passed at the late session
of Congress.
