until we saw the correction in the Tribune.
"H. g." also infers, from the arrira! of one
cargo of iron for the Central Railroad, that no
farther delay, in relaying the track, need be an
ticipated. A marvellous cargo it must be, tru-
ly, to relay thirty or forty miles, without delay,
should not other cargoes follow it.
In previous letter, he also presumed that
the Southern road would be sold at the next ses-

But Bennett, of the Herald, beats Gree'y for
discoveries, and is fairly entitled to 'the hat"
He has spenl the summer in hurrying around
Europe, which, Judging by the parrallax of OBJ
iects that he only saw running, dc declares is
in tremendous state of revolution : finally.
he lands in England, scampers through the
kingdom from end to end in forty eight hours,
and writes home that he firds it in most in
teresting state of transition! We are irresist-
IDLY reminded of the man who, being particular
ly "eevatcd," supposed the passers-by to be all

fed with delusive hopes of social and politica
equality, been directed towards the promotion
of this, the only practicable plan of ame.ioratine
the condition of the African, Liberia would, a
this moment, be his chosen place of refuge;
nation whose rising glory would be his pride
and whose growing power weald be his protec

picous moment has been delayed.

Mr.. McCalla's charge against the President
we cannot vouch. The station of the Presiden
would command our credcnce, had we not 81
often caught truth out of his company. THEFT
tie of the former also appeals strongly for on
confidence but unfortunately we never coul
reverence any person much, whose "call onl.
prompted him to hang about the Government
seeking appointments. 1t was stupid biunde
for Mr.. Polk to make such an admission, II n
Ibid i; and this ought to weigh in his favor
But there is that other stupid blunder, the ad
mission of Santa Anna, which shows Mr.. Pol
