CIVIL ENGINEERING

Will be Thoroughly and practically taught in
the Western Military Institute--the Professor,
Col. Morgan, being one of the most skillfui and
experienced Engineers in the United States. All
the instruments connected with that department
have been procured at considerable cost, and Of the
best quality.
The Superintendent takes the liberty of stating
that he is offered S75 per month, for COM
petent assistant Engineers. One of his former
pupils receives at this time, So, 500 per annum as
Principal Engineer of railroad under con-
struction in Kentucky-whilst others of the same
class are receiving in different parts of the United
States, $4,000, ST 500, or 81 200 year as As
sstant Engineers
The time is rapidly approaching when there
will be a great demand for such as have been pre-
pared, for that vocation, at the Western Military
Institute. Nothing is hazarded in saying that
they will readily command s 900 or $ 500 per
annum. Every man Of observation must see that
the gigantic enterprises already proposed, will give
birth to hundreds of others, tributary to them.
The rapid advancement of our whole country, and
the eagerness of our people for exploring the hid
den resources Of the new States and the newly
acquired territory, will give ample scope for ages
to come, to the skill and enterprise of the Engi-
neer, the GeoIogist, the Mneraogist, the Surveyor
and the Architect. Young men who have an
ATTITUDE for the Mathematical and Physical sci
ences, will have wide field opened to them for
engaging in an honorable, a heathful and lucra-
tive pursuit, for which they may be thoroughly
and practically qualified, in short time, and at
small expense, at the Western Military Institute.

BY J. E. DOW.-

Night-darker night-on Europe falls;
The painting millions strive no more;
The Cossack revels in her halls,
And quaffs the wine-cup stained with gore
The gathering storms Of suffering years
In one fierce Handicapped depart;
While the red reaper gathers tears,
And bncs the independent heart.
The struggles o'er-the voice sgone;
The bones that moved are bones again;
The murderous yeA is onward borne,
And famine stalks Ger fields of slain.
While in the dust the hopeless sigh,
And Virtue bleeds in Wars embrace,
Fhe dead upon their banners lie.
And smiles Of glory light each face:
Old crumbliag thrones arise again,
With deeper woes and deadlier hate;
The iron hand makes bare the chain,
And bids the dungeons hinges CRATE.
Free thoughts now tester in the mind,
And generous souls forget to give;
While paIsied hosts to fate resigned,
Kiss the red robbers hand to live.
oh God! when will the people rise
And walk erect in proud attire,
While calm contentment lights the skies,
And pale disunion's lurid fire?
When prncely word shall weigh no more
Than plebian speech; though honely sard,
And mind shall with the eagle soar,
And matter Kennel with the dead

ADVANTAGES OF RA1LRoADs.-An ad-
dress to the people of Tennessee upon the
subject of internal Improvements, thus
speaks of the vast benefits, Georgia has
derived from her railroads:
Georgia, a few years since, commenc-
ed liberal system of internal improve
ment by constructing railroads, and there
were those who predicted that her efforts
would result in involving her in hopeless
insolvency. Nevertheless she pushed
forward her works with persevering indus
try and llberality, until now she has about
six hundred miles of railroad completed,
and about four hundred miles more char
tered and in various stages OF progress
It is true that by the immense expendi-
lures upon these gigantic works which
was necessarily incurred, public faith was
shaded for time, her scrip sold at fifty
cents for the dollar at public auction, re-
pudiation was familiarly talked of as the
onIv remedy. Those who had predicted
disaster began to feel secret exultation
that results were so likely to demonstrate
that they were veritable prophets. AT
length, however, one by one, of those
dlff6rGnL lines WCtC uIllSICO, dllu IllC pCO-
pie within ten or twenty miles on either
side began to see and feel their magical
effects. But the beneficial effects of the
railroad were not confined to those who
owned land contiguous to it. All classes
felt the impetus which was given to
trade, and the stock has risen to 40 per
cent premium, with q dividend of IA per
cent per annum to the stockholders.
1t is an incontestible fact, that for miles
on either side of every line of railroad
which has been made in Georgia, the
lands have appreciated from one hundred
to five hundred per cent, and in many In
stances much more. So that the in-
creased value of lands alone has been
much more than the whole cost of the
roads. New life has been infused into
the whole State. Towns are springing
up as if by magic. All the productions
of her soil are speedily and cheaply waited
to a ready cash market; and return
freights cost not more than one-fourth
part of former prices; and she is now reap
ing the rich fruits of her liberal and en-
lightened policy"
