FRANKLIN COUNTY
THE GREAT QUESTION.

This week we give another of the acts of Con.
gress, designed to settle the slavery question. :
The reader will observe, both in the New Mexi.
CO and the Utah acts, that Congress is bound to
admit each territory as a state, with or without
slavery, as the people thereof shall determine
Now the ground of Northern men who have sus-
tanned these measures, and who still hold to the
power of Congress to exclude Slavery, is, thai
Slavery is now excluded by force Of the laws
already existing, derived from Mexico, and thai
the people UiH not change them. 1t SO it turns
out these gentlemen will stand justified for their
course. Time, then, will prove their wisdom OF
their msjudgment-and not long time will be
required in our judgment. The census of 1850
will probably show population enough in each
territory to warrant admission as state.

jenny Lind is in New York, and the New
Workers. act very much as if Jenny Lind is the
greatest and best woman that ever was born
No doubt she is an admirable singer, and nc
doubt she is also 4 very excellent woman in spite
of f1attery enough to ruin most persons. These
ARE recommendations strong enough to win for
her the good will of every body; but we think
these do not make quite SO much Of an angel Of
her as to be worth worship. Her share for the
first concert was SlO,OOO-and every dollar Of
thi. sum, together with $500 more from her
purse, she has bestowed for charitable purposes.
The N. Y. Tribune says that the proceeds Of her
concerts in this country are TO be devoted to the
establishment OF system of free schools IN Nor
way and Sweden. Some may perhaps doubt
this and regard it rather as part Of the plot to
draw large houses but every account we have
seen of Jenny's character, forbids this idea.-
She has reputation enough as the best singer in
the world, to draw patronage; and reputation,
too as a benevolent and noble woman, to war;
rant the belief that she will do what she announ-
ces. She has already given nearly ise hundred
thousand dollars for purposes of like charac-
ter. Her ambition, doubtless, is to do a great
deal of good in world which is very ready to
DO her good turn. If she can pocket from one
thousand to ten thousand dollars an evening, ii
strikes US she can do very great things without
any severe sacrifices.

Railways in England.

Great Britain and Ireland have $500 miles Of
railway, costing s2O0, OOOO O0-say sl,0OO000,-
600; six ,enihs, or sir hundred millions Of dollars
were expended in the years 1S45, 46, and AZ
in other words, while the Vermont Central Rail.
road has been in progress. This sum includes
both cost of charter, tracks and furnishing. The
cost of track (mainly double) averages about
5000. 900 per mile. The cost of obtaining a
charter is of itself, in some instances, more than
the stof building road in New England
For instance, the charter of q road from London
to York, now building, cost f434, 0O0-s2, no.
600. flO0.0O0 lhalf million Of dollars) for q
charter for fifty mile road, has been deemed
cheap. Perhaps these facts (which we take from
the Westminster Review, for July last,) are
enough 10 prepare the reader for the conclusion
Out of IL roads winch were from so to $50 pei
cent. above par Aug. 2, ls45, only one was al
par on the 10th April, 1850. The res, are from
so to "a per cent. below par. "The results have
been scarcely less calamitous than would have
attended the progress of civil war;" But why
The extravagant waste of capital is evident
bet how happened this? The Review gives the
answer in stock gambling. British railroads
have not been built on stock subscriptions. The
process has been for company to put a small
amount of stock in market and buy it in at a
great advance. Thus the public was made to
believe that it was grand stock for investment;
then the stock was freely offered and taken at
high premiums. and so the public was taken in
and - done for" This is one phase of
stock gambling. Another Is to depress stocks
far below their value by reversing the process
and to this is partly due the depressed value of
some of the English as well as American stocks.

Mr.. EDlroR,- .-
The last time saw you we were speaking
of Railroads. Every item Of information which
ADDS to our stock OF real knowledge is import
ant In business which is so new among us
Of New England. Today passed over the Road
from Nashua to this place, some l6 or 20 miles.
Three miles before reaching here we were
"brought up standing" by the loss of IS feet OF
the road One side of the road had gone down,
down, we could not say where. The rails were
held only BY their iss,enings, aud by the bank,
which was gradually giving way on the other
side. "What is this ~ One SAID, at is Free
Soil" "No! il is the Buffalo Platform" "No
such thing, 1t is the Buffalo Platform improved

it was said and a road cannot be made to stand
upon it, "Fili 1t up" "The more you fill it
the worse ii Is, that is, the heavier it becomes,
and down the deeper it goes" "Why has it not
gone before: ?" because it has not been as
wet. The enormous quantity Of rain has made
the mischief" So thInk-I-to myself too much
wnter down in this fat country is as bad for some
Railroads as the hill country Of Vermont. "Bui
surely such bog as this might be made passa-
BILE. What was done ?" "Two large and strong
stringers were laid down and fastened together
and then t,mbers 20 feet long were laid across,
and made to hold gravel, and the road was made
over the middle OF this frame work." "ls that
possible?" Yes; although you see moving

growing on the other, 50 decei'ful ia the norass,
that nothing will stand. The Whole frame work
is doubtless turned 10 an angle Of As degrees,
and the more you put on to II the Wore i; will

any such norasses in Vermont in which your
roads would sink. 1t is vel this does not occur
often" "Often! was yesterday on the WAL
than road where is double truck, and one track
had completely gone down. and the other high
up on a bank, and two or three Others have &C.
Cured at other times, and at other places" On
looking about, could not see but the whole mo-

Accompanying this condition OF our foreign
trade, we find, as matter Of course, that heavy
balances are against US, which must be paid IN
COIN. We have already sent three millions to
Europe since LIST January last. The Cunard
steamer of this week took out $780, 600 in spe-
Gle, and unless the rate for Sterling bills falls to
0I-2 or 9:3-4, further sums must go.
The faults lies with ourselves. The Home
