HOusatOnic Rail Road COmpany-The attention q,
our readers. particularly of capitalists who have mo.
ney lying idle by them is invited to the notice in to-
days paper for the re-opening of the Books for sub
scnptions to the capital stock Of this company. We
need not say much to induce those who think that this
will eventually he profitable stock to invest their
spare funds in; but to those who are in doubt to
the practicabity Of the undertaking, aid the uncer-
tonty as to profit which must attend all such invest
ments, VIC would recommend an attendance on some
of the places where the books are opened and hear the
statements from the directors and those engaged in
the project. Every citizen of Ltchficd county must
feel more or less interest in the enterprseand every
one in the western section, who has the MEANS ought
at once TO 60 forward and give toit his aid, especially
ifby SO doing he can promote his own interest.
More Instructions. legislature of Pennsylvania
have instructed their Senators in Congress- Buchanan
and MKean, to oppose the Sub-reasury scheme now
before the Seaate-in the House (where there is
majority Of IL or IA favorable Mr.. Van Buren, by
vote Of 81 to 49-every member in his seat-and in
the Senate by the vote of IS II. As Mr. Buchanan
holds to the doctrine of instruction. we do not see but
he must vote against the bill.
Similar resolutions have been passed in the House
Of Assembly of NcO York. by the vote of 81 to 49, in
structing Mr.. Senator Wright also to oppose the bill
MIR. TalInadge needs no such instruction; he volun
tarily goes against the destructives.
Congress-We have given rather long story upon
what islkely to prove very small subjec-the charge
by the Spy at Washington" of corruption against
member Of congress. The proceedings in the House
terminated by the call upon Mr.. Davis, who stated
that the person implicated was not member of that
House. 1t since appears that Mr. RHggles one ofthe
Senators Of Maine. is the person alluded to, and he
has requested committee to investigate the matter.
1t will turn out-about nothing.
