RAIL ROAD. We understand that New
Hampshire Commissioners have decided not
TO lay oat the Cheshire Road any further
than Bellows Falls. An independent char
Ter from Windsor to the Cheshire road al
Bellows Falls will however secure the con-
nection Of the Central with the Cheshire.
This charter It's believed has passed the
New Hampshire legislature. We are not
quite certain.
The Directors Of the Rutland Road are
soon 10 have meeting at Bellows Falls,
when it is believed such arrangements will
be made in relation TO the connection with
the Cheshire and Fitchourgh roads as will
prove satisfactory and induce our Directors
TO make a commencement soon in the con-
struc:ion OF the Road from Rutland 10 Bur-
ington. The work on the whole line from
Fiichburgh 10 Bellows Falls is going on
apace.

PREPARATIONS FOR CONQUEST

We find the following interesting informa-
ton in the New York Gazette and Times o
Tuesday last:
'An expedition for the purpose of taking
possession of California, there seems little
reason TO doubt, has been decided upon by
the Government.
1--WE have already mentioned the fact that

THE TARIFF AT WASHINGTON

The purport ola number OF private letters
from Washington does not shed much light
on the prospect regarding the Tariff. Our
own conclusion from the whole is that Nc
Kay's bill cannot pass, but that another bill
little less ruinous, or perhaps this with some
notifications, is destined 10 become n law.
Tine business Of the country already cvinces
q similar conviction. When shall our furnace
and forge-fres shall have been put out, when
one third nf our factories shall have passed
into the hands Of assignees and sherifis, and
arc awaiting the advertised time 10 be sold
for song, and when the workers employed
therein, with two-ihrds Of our artisans now
profitably employed iE machine-shops, shall
have been driven out 10 compete with the
present cultivators of the sci or swell the
long columns on the march for Oregon and
California, we shall see how the opening of
British markets for our Agricultural staples
will compensate for the violent contraction
of our own, how prices range for Produce
aud Properly of all kinds g. who of our own
people beside Sheriff. and Shyocks will
have been benefited by the change, This
is question TO be settled by experience. Let
watch closely the operation Of the Tariff that
is TO be.-ITibune.

THE TARIFF.

We see a grea. stir going on in PennsyI-
wanna, Both parties in Reading were TO have
a meeting on Saturday evening, appealing
to the Senate and George NJ. Dallas, to
save the Tariff of 1912. Some strong reso-
buttons are about to be passed in PoltsVille

From the Phila U. 6 Gazette.

readers the following few lines, which come

TIE BALTIMoE CoSvENTIoN.-The resol-
utions adopted by the Baltimore Democratic
Convention were written by Mr.. Croswell,
of the Argus, with no great deiberauon, and
presented by Mr.. B. F. Butler. Such resol-
utions have heretofore been regarded as a
general expression of opinion by the Conven-
ton, placed in such form as they supposed
most likely to please the voters. 1t would
be strans' indeed. if the hasty statements of
one man were 10 be regarded as the establish
ed law which should over-rule the deliberate
opinion of the Constitutional Congress. tn
ough majority should be of party .who put
forth the resolutions. Mr.. CrosweTI came
near exercising the power of declaring war
by his resolutions. Journal OF Commerce.
0FThe evil the Journal seems TO depre-
cate is not likely TO prove epidemic. We
should admire to see the greenhorn who will
ever again attach the least consequence to
resolve Of Loco-Foco Convention.

The Southern Mail received at Philsdel-
pha last night, brought intelligence of the
arrival at New Orleans of the steam Alabama
from Point Isabel on the 9th inst, The news
received by this arrival is Of no material in
portancc, yet it is sufficiently interesting to
keep the eyes Of the public towards the war
quarter.
The health of The volunteers hadgrealy
improved being mostly recovered from the
diarrhca, the disease with which they were
principally affected.
The most enthusiastic joy was manifested
throughout the camp on the reception of the
news that Gen Scott would not supersede
Old Rough and Ready in the command of
the army.
The steamer Frontier, laden with Govern
ment supplies, was lost at The mouth of the
Rio Grande, together with nearly all her car
60.
4 report was current in Matamoros that
several launches, with their crews, belonging
to the American le9t biockading Tampice,
had been captured by the Mexicans The
latter rcjoiced. of course, although little Gre
dence was given to the rumor.
The Republic Oft the Rio GrGnde, of the
sob ut. states that Carajaral. the Mexican
commander, had been collecting horses, &c.
within fifty miles of Matamoros, and had
thence proceeded on his way to Camargo.
He had been at San Fernando, whence all
the public property had been removed.
Gen. Cauales is said TO be located between
Camargo and Monterey. 1t is understood
that he has had an interview with the Alcaldes
in the vicinity or Reynosa and Camargo, and
that they had agreed upon Declaration of
independence.
Gen. Ampudia was in San Luis Potosi.-
Gen. Mejia was with the remnant ofthe amy.
Gen. Arista still remained at his hacienda,
and declines going To Mexico.
Gen. Taylor appears to DO anxiously
watching for another opportunity to judici-
GUS move in the game of war, although it was
unknown when such move would be made.
Col. Payne, one of the heroes Of the 9Th
and 9th, arrived at Baltimore last night on his
way to Washington with Mexican trophies

The MOVEMENTS OF THE ARMY.-The
long time passed by the Army at Matamoros
has caused many inquiries as to its future
movements. Monterey, it has been under
stood. was to be the next point at which a
stand would be made, but now the question
arises whether the army can get there! The
distance from Ma;amoros is 300 miles, and
we have yet to learn that the Army has The
stores or the means Of transportation, nor is
Il Known that with inc stores and means of
transportation, there are roads suitable for the
movements of Wagons. &c. The general
opinion, and well founded one, now is, thai
the Army will not go to Monterey this sum-
mer. The public, who are paying for this
expensive sport, will soon require Of the adj
minsiration some explanation OF its inten-
lions. We, the people, make the govern
ment we pay the bills. and though giving in
formation is not exactly in accordance with
military usage, the public will not see the ex-
penses increasing and pot ask how long they
are to last. Those who pay will have the
observation-disclosures.
