EV'A female correspondent of the
Pittsburgh Journal thus speaks of the
Administration. Surely they will mend
their ways, when they receive such a cas-.
tigation from the other sex.
Why, any six old Indies, who lad sense enough
to manage a family, could organize u better gov.
eminent in two weeks. II is about time the gen.
,Iemen should drop politics as a bud job, and be.
take themselves to busting brushes and dislcloths,
and lot the women try it awhile. If they made
a worse oft they would deserve a premium for
their ingenuity at chaos making.

Free States pay 60 per cent.-S52, 00O,-

The use of this table is to show that
those States which comparatively enjoy
but little of Mr.. Folks legacy of the Ma
tional Debt, should in the U. S. Senate
exercise their gigantic power of voting
to continue his Mexican War, and there
by increase his National Debt legacy up

Railroad Movements.

During the past week, considerable transac-
tons, as they say in the "Price Current,
have been effected IN our neighborhood in Rail
road matters. The Rutland, Central and Og-
dcnsburgh have given strong evidence OF their
vitality; and Boston sympathy for the success
of these great enterprises, and interest in their
early completion, have been manifested by the
presence among us of a somewhat numerous
delegation, composed of some of her most res
pectabe and efficient citizens among whom
were Messrs. NATHAN RICE, j. II. REED, s.
II. VALLEY, II. p. CHANDLER, JonN HOWE, J.
BELL BE AIS, of the Boston Post, DIR. BREWER
of the Atlas, jill. BUCKINGHAM of the Courier, g.
others. SO large an attendance of Boston gen.
tlcmcn of the character and reputation of those
named, is an encouraging evidence of an in
creased appreciation, in that rich and prosperous
and enterprsing city, of the probable importance
and value of our Vermont railroads.

The Rutland.

A meeting of the Directors of this Company
at which there was full attendance, was held
at Rutland, on Friday last, TO decide upon the
proposals submitted for constructing the re-
naming portion of this Road, from Brandon to
the summit at Mt. Holley--a distance of about
80 miles. We learn that the contracts were
awarded as follows

The Middlebury Galary says:
"The grading and masonry is to be done on mn nv.
rrage OF 81 900 per mile, about the same as from Mt
liolley to the Connecticut"
The prices at which this portion of the roat
has been let we are pleased to learn, are with
in the estimates ofthe accomplished and compe
tent Engineer of the work, Mr.. GrLBERr-a

that gentleman which, we confidently believe
the completion Of the road will fully justify

purpose of conquering" the Peace for the
purchase" of which Congress placed $4,000.
900 in the hands of Mr.. Polk just previous tc
the adjournment. When we have both bought
and conquered Peace we suppose it will be a
strong one fit is rather expensive, All accounts

We have had the pleasure to examine this
simple and ingenious Continuance for fastening
and sustaining window sash in any desirable
POSITION and have no hesitation in rccouiin end
ing as entirely worthy of patronage. We
think it clearly the best lick and Fastener in
nse--a nd lis excellence, like that of most rseCUl
inventions, is seen at once in its simpleness and
plalnness of structure and operation. We can
scarcely imagine any thing of the kind TO be
more eiectual or less likely to get out of repair
In these important respects, as well as in its
cheapness, it is manifest!y superior to all the
ordinary appliances that are in use for the pur-
poses for which it is designed 1t can hardly
fail, we are sure, to come into general favor
and service, when it will prise useif more cl.
tectually than its friends can praise it.

The Cemetery.

We arc as little able as our correspondent to
answer the question . Are we TO have Gem
etery ?" though we should be sorryto believe
that the reply is TO be Il negative one. With
the advantages of location that we possess, for
so peculiarly interesting an enclosure, 1t would
seem to argue a strange insensibility If we
were. now to let the matter rest. 1t would be
better, and more creditabe to us, not to have
brought it under discussion. 1t is too excu-
svely project that appeals to feelings and
s,mpathies that are natural and common, we
trust to the whole human family, to be made
a topic for argamem, or for appeal to Village
pride If it is practicable to carry out the pro-
iect we trust may be done III not, let Ms
icau. 1t is fur better, in the view We take OF
such things, that nothing should be done than
that the future Of efforts should be made u mat
ter Of public apprehension or remark.
Our correspondent is one Of those who have
generously contributed to raise the creditabe
amount that was subscribed, without hesitation
some time since. He doubtless leelsas do 9th.
ers, that the object to be gained is worthy OF
further and more organized and efficient effort.
We trust the effect of his appeal may answer his
reasonable expectations, and tend to- secure the
desirable end he has in view.

that we have it from undcpiabic amLori,y that
the Report of Mr.. Hayward as made to the Og-
densburgh directors in Boston, DID embrace sub
santially the statements contained in our paper
of the I'D of April. The pubiishcd Report, we
are informed, is but an imperfect abstract of the
written or spoken one Z; and the latter DID make
the extraordinary statements, alluded to by our
correspondent below, respecting the time during
which the Lake is closed by ice, and the re-
quired size of the Depot at Plaitsburgh We
have cndcavorcd, and shall cndcavor, to avoid
making assertions, in such matters, without
what we esteem sufficient authority.
The location of the Oglensburgh RAILROAD
is not by any manner of means a matter exclu
sively interesting to that portion of the public
who are its stockholders, and who reside upol
its line. 1t is a great Public EyTERrRrsE in ;
far higher sense Of the term. Those who arr
70 avail themselves Of its facilities, and thos
who are interested in lines of Railroad whcl
are TO receire and transmit It's business. ar
equally interested in the iudicious location Of il
line. We most sincerely believe that the lin
recommended by Mr.. Hayward could be rem
dcred more Objectionable than it is only In on
way; and that is by carrying it through a par
of tho British Province Ct Canada-a projec
that We learn with utter astonshmcnt is soberl

able communication of our correspondent, who's

tion IL The lines Of roiiroad that are 10 termiaa
