yon 1t is sal that a gentleman who called on
Gen. Jackson on Thursday took occasion to make
enquiry upon point respecting which there has
been much doubt and discussion. The converse
ton, as am told, commenced with an enquiry on
the part of the visitor, whether Gen. Jackson ihten-
died. to act on the principles in relation to the iede-
raj and democratic distinctions, which he had lad
down inhis letter to Mr. Monroe, recommending Col
Drayton to the department of war. His reply is
said to have BEEN that he still retains those opinions
and that he intends to act upon them 1t Is further
sad that he dscaims all intention to act upon those
principles OF prescription which have been such ia
vourie topic with the Telegraph but that, for
mere difference of opinion to his own fitness or
qualifications for the Office of President he shall
never be disposed to make any nvitllous distinctions
in his selections for office. If these sentiments are
true to the extent stated, TREY will effect great
change of opinion among the friends. as well as
among the opponents of the claims of Gen. Jackson.
In fact. it is already whispered abroad that thorough
going jackson men, who have been here from
neighborng state, are already on the stool Of pen
tence, bitterly decaiming against the FOLLY whicf
urged them on to the promotion of his election
:. 1t is circulated, that one project for cabinet
under discussion, is as follows. Mr.. Van Buren,
Secretary of State Mr.. Tazewe, Secretary o
the Treasury: Judge M'Lean, Secretary Of War
MIR. NJ Lane, of Delaware, Secretary of the Navy
Mr. Baldwin, Attorney General Mr. lngham
also, to be appointed Post Master general 1t is un
derstood that Mr. farewell has forwarded to Vir

Tor, in order to give the legislature an opportunity
during the present session. to elect "a successor.

cor ding to the description OF the goods
conveyed, from half penny, to three
pence sterling ton, per mile. For all
coal, lime, and stone, which is destined
to be shipped on board vessels at Stockton
and for stones and gravel to be used fo
making and repairing publick or privat
roads, the rate of tonnage is a half penny
or one cent "a mile per ton. This rah
is probably intended to give fair rate c
profit, as it applies to by far the create
part of transportation (; the principal OBJ
ject of the railroad being, the shipment 0
coal from Stockton. For coal. for con-
sumption, and for slate, lime, timber, and
manure, the tonnage is q penny half PEN

For meal, flour, grain. hay and other ar

than the cost Of common carting. The
lowest rate of tonnage on the Darlington
railway, embracing the principal transport,

of toll, ON railroad from Boston to Alba

Die the number required on the level parts
OF the road would be necessary. The
sections which hare this inclination be-
tween Boston and the New York line
measure AZ IL miles, and for the remain
ing portion Of the road, from the state
line to Albany nearly l-2 miles must be
added, making 50 miles.
If we divide the distance from Boston
to Albany into ten stages Of 10 IL or 90
miles each, 20 horses, employed one day
each, will be required to convey the load
OF 10 tons, exclusive Of the additional
power necessary On the steep incIinations.
Ii stationary powers are provided, this
Will be thetsonly horse power required.
To snrmount tliee activities. by add.
tlonal travelling power, will require eight
additional horsc1: viz. two on the incli-
nations from 26p So feet, and six on
those from 81 toS0 feet. The same OBJ
lect may be efieted by reduction of
the loads or in psrt by taking a lonoer
time Tor makiEg the journey. But the
expense of boSs in proportion 20 the
weight moved, would be in each case
about the same.
The most easy aid convenient rate Of
travelling would perhaps average about
three miles an hout and the iourney NAV
be accomplished inlour DAYS. The wa
ges and subsistencdof man to conduct
the teams, may be Stimated at dollar a
day. The cost of lie labour of a horse
including interest ol the purchase, depre-
citation OF value, lazard, keeping and
shoeing, is about 81 cents day. The
cost of six carriages sufficient to carry
10 tons, 70 cents lay. An allowance
must also be made fl profit 10 the carrier
and the hazard of Cling sometimes par
TALLY loaded, of abod 50 per cent, on all
expenses. This alldTance it is thought
VIII be sufficient to over fair charge
for heavy goods, paying the lowest rates
Of freight. Some additional profit might
be obtained by highd charges on more
costly goods. Upon hese data, the cost
OF transportation b4ween Boston and
Albany, may be estlmted as follows

For each passenger one dollar and five
cents To each estimate add two dollars.
for toll, and it will make 49, or 1906
for conveyance from Boston to ALBANY in
% hours.
In the foregoing estimates we have sup
posed that horses will be exclusively used
for the travelling power. On the railroMl
recently built, and now building in Eng
land and France, it is proposed to make
use almost exclusively of locomotive en-
gines or carriages moved by steam en-
glne placed within them, of sufficient
force to draw after them, without the aid
OF animal power, succession of 30 or
20 loaded wagons. These engines are in
operation with entire success, on several
railroads in England. Where coal is
abundant and cheap, and where the sub
sistance of horses is dear, steam power
may be advantageously used for many pur-
poses, in which it cannot be economically
employed in country where coal is dear.
For the purpose of determining, whether
locomotive engines can be advantageousy
employed on railroads in this country. we
have examined the estimates of the cost
of maintaining these engines in England ;
where they have been brought to high
degree of perfection, and where the cost
of coal for fuel, which constitutes a fourth
part OF the expense, does not exceed a
third part of its, cost here. We find that
by the lowest of these estimates, the cost
of the effective power of. these engines is
greater, with the advantages there possess
ed, than that of maintaining horses TO
produce the same power in this country.
1t would be otherwise, however, if it were
important to move large loads, of SO or
100 tons. at rapid speed
These facts show that the cost of trans
portatlon on a railroad in this country, by
horse power, will be less than in England,
by either horse or steam power. The
cost of oats and other food for horses in
England, in general, is nearly double its
cost in this country, and that of this de-
scription of animal power musttherefore be
greater in nearly the same proportion.
The rates of tonnage therefore charged
for transportation on railroads in England,
cannot be taken as affording Just critic
rion, of the rates which may be charged
in this country, though they will serve to
show in some degree the cheapness Of thi:
mode of transportation. The rates o
tonnage fixed by the proprietors Of the
Stockton and DARLINGTON railway. for the
cost Of transportation and toll, vary &C
