The orders Of General Gaines, not
countenanced by the Executive, it was
said by Mr.. Cass, would cost the gov
eminent one million Of dollars. They
could not be counteracted until IA days

Geographic communication, they could
have been reversed in a less number

with much of the trouble likely to grow

The Secretary of War, and the Post
master General have both urged upon
the proper committees and appropria-
lion towards the construction of the
line south of this.
Mr.. Lewis, the Chairman of the
FINANCE Committee, urged an appropri-
alton oil fifty thousand for telegrapbic

Kendall offered the use of the line be-
tween those places for that sum, during
the existence of the war, with Mexico, |
provided that if any additional expense
was necessary for crossing rivers and
streams it should be paid for by the
government.

covered with pine land and was liable
to be burned at any moment. Mr..
Jarnegn tainted the Chairman. of the
Finance Committee for offering such
an amendment.
Ii it was lawful to make a road in

make one on terra frma. Mr.. West
colt thought so, too, and Mr.. Calhoun
ielt the application so strongly, or the
absurdity Of his .'strict constructiye''

words from him the amendment was
