GEN. ScoTT.-Ths accomplished General
and gallant soldier, contrary to the expectations
and the hopes of our citizens, has embarked di
recty for New York. 1t is said that the Gene.
raj, when at Vera Cruz, looked somewhat faded
and caseworn, but his commanding appearance
and martial bearing elected the admiration OF
even the Mexican population, who rushed to see
him with almost the same degree Of eaqerness
that characterized the Americans. The follow
ing is copy of letter (says the .Ns,O- Orleans

have learned, on the road, that some of the
spirited aud patriotic citizens of New Orleans -
including, perhaps the Municipal authorities -
are thinking OF taking public notice Of my arri-

North (nland) who would give the long absent
soldier passing cheer or two. This, my dear

Opening of the Cheshire Railroad
to Keene.

The opening of this road was celebrated on
Tuesday last. A party of about a thousand per-
sons embracing the stockholders of the road,
with their friends, and delegations from nearly
every railroad corporation in the State, together
with many of our prominent capitalists, mer-
chants, and public officers, left the depot of the
FItchbu!g Railroad in the morning and, after
an agreeable ride Of about six hours, arrived at
Keene at noon.
Levi Chamberlain, Esq, in behalf of the citl-
zens Of Koene, welcomed the VISITORS in short
and pertinent address.
Admirable arrangements had been made for a
public dinner in the railroad depot and at three
o'clock, the company were marched into the
building and the "busness laid upon the table,
received ample justice from those prcsents Also
full band were in attendance, and added much
to the harity Of the occasion.
During the afternoon, speeches, songs and
music attracted vast concourse of the citizens
of the vicinity to the depot; while those who
were strangers in the neghborhood were walk
ing about the beautiful town, and adniring the
neatness and taste evinccd by the residents, in
the arrangements around their dwellings,.
AT 5 O'clock, p. NJ, the return train left fol
Boston, and the company arrived home at j
o'clock, gratiied with their days journey, and
hoping that the most sanguine expectations Of
the friends of the road may be crowned with etn.
inent success. -.4tlGS.
From Troy 10 Keene, nine miles, the road is
mostly through country which none but live
Yankees would ever have dreamed of converting
to such purposes. 1t is succession of heavy
embankmcnts, solid masonry, and deep cuts
through lodges of granite that Look as though
they were put there on purpose 10 defy all humai
improvement. Perhaps no work of the kind II
the United States or in the world, (lhe passage
OF the Western Railroad through the hills Of
Berkshire cXceped) gives better idea of the
sublime in human Improvement than this.-.Nail

SLAVOCRATIC.

THE WILMoT PRovIso IN VERMONT. The
Burlington Free Press is making interesting rev.
Citations of the un.doirgs of the late locofoco
caucus in the third Congressional district called
to appoint delegate to the Baltimore Conven-
ton. 1t seems that resolutions very strongly in
favor of the Wilmot proviso were introduced,
but were not adopted.
The following are the resolutions, and we re-
peat, though sound in the main in sentiment,
handsomely expressed, and warmly advocated by
Messrs. SAKE of St. Adams and Kasson of Bur-
lington, the Convention would not adopt them.
Resolved, That while we adhere to the re-
peated resolutions of our State convention, de-
clarlng opposition to all action On the part of
the U. s. Government having tor its object the
conversion Of free into slave territory, yet we
were not prepared to demand Of a candidate for
the Presidency test on this question: believing
that no true Republican would presume to be-
come at this day the propaganda OF that lnsti-
tuition, so long as lie was the representative of
the whole people. But il those at the South
protesting the same political faith, shall, as in
the case of Virginia and Alabama, insist upon
that test, then declare that no politca. neces-
sity whatever Shall induce us TO acquesce in
such requirement, and become thereby the posi-
tive instruments in extending that institution
over territory now free.
Resolved, That we cannot but regard the
man who shall thus seek to extend the evil Of
Slavery as one who has forgotten the mission of
his country and his age. That it is source of
deep modification to an American to behold his
own countrymen striving to reduce an immense
territory given by Tod a free heritage to man
and still so preserved, to a country Of slavery

MEXICAN AFFAIRS.

THE IsrHMus OF TEHuA NTEPEc.-The n. O.
Delta Of the l4ih says: Our letters from Quer-
etaro show that the subject of the Canal across
the Isthmus Of Tehauntepec has been brought
before the Congress OF Mexico and bills have
been proposed TO authorize the formation OF
colonies Of foreigners, with the object Of run
ming this canal. Whether this plan is connect
ed with the treaty of Guadalupe, or is an indie
pendent measure, bid for foreign aid and in
demnity, we have not yet the means of know
ing. But If il contempates the transfer of the
authority Of carrying on this great work, TO
any other power but the United States, it will
be we'll for our Government TO interfere prompt
ly to prevent any such an act. and 10 assert our
superior ability and greater interest in the COM
pletion Of this great enterprise. II provision
has been made with reference TO this subject
in the trdbty OF Guadalupe, it will go far to
reconcile many Of the opponents Of that mea-
sure.
1t must be confessed that neither our govern
ment nor our people seem to be sufficiently
aroused to the importance of this great enter
prise.
II Mexico has authorized colonies to be form
ed on the proposed line of the canal, it will
certainly be our duty to take immediate step.
to secure the benefit of such grants. II we do
not, Great Britain certainly will. She has,
through her intrigues on the coast of Honduras
and in Yucl!an, placed herself in position 10
take advantage OF any opportunity which may
present itself of realizing long cherished
scheme.
1.-The British officers Of the coast have in Their
possession the surveys ard maps, which have
been made from time to time, of the route
across the Isthmus by the RyerSan Juan. One
OF the earliest, if not the very first of these ex
petitions. was under the command of Horatic
Nelson, then STRIPPING Lieutenant who LOST
one-naii oil his crew from exposure in making
the survey, but succeeded in ascer;aining the
practicabiity, indeed, the facility, of cutting q
canal across the isthmus. The ma ps and note.
of this survey are now in this city, in the pos
session OF one Of our most intelligent enei
peers.
To Illustrate the plans Of Great Britain. and
to secure to the United States entire control o.
the INSTRUMENTATION of the two great ocean,
which lash our either shore, will be the imper
alive duty Of our Government duty, which
we trust, will not be lest sight of during tn.
I ercitements of political Strife in which ou
= people and our politicians seem TO be almos
entirely absorbed.

SuPERIoRITY OF AMERICAN TAILoRs.-A cor.
respondent of the New York Courier and En-
quirer writing from London says: Nowhere
ia the whole world are garmrnts so elegantly
made, and so admirably fitted as in the United
States. An English or French tailor must try
on your coat two or three times in the manu-
facture, aud he finally sends it home, such a
fit as chance pleases; while an American tail.
or, having taken your measure, seldom gives
YOU sny further trouble, (until he presents his
billy and srnds your coat home, fitting as il
you had been melted, aud run into it. while
hot"
We have been often astonished at the imag-
mary superiority awarded by the American
people 10 European workmen. Our success
ful competition with the world in the variou:
arts aud sciences, proves most conclusively
that we have no occasion 10 send abroad 70
any thing, and we hope that both ladies ant
gentleman will discard the idea that European
workmen are superior to our own, in any ar
or science to which the attention of our citi
zens have been turned.
