THE NEW RAILROAD sTATION-HOUsE.

TO the Editors Of the american Telegraph.
GENTLEMEN: Believing, with the New Orleans
print, quoted by you on Wednesday, that oner-
Gus things are often expected of the Press
among its supposed duties" freely absolye
your optics from the labors of Argus, and at
once proceed, by way of admonition, to give you
the simple truth which justifes the title to this
article.
Quite throng visited the new Railroad Depot,
and among the crowd not few who looked
somewhat disappointed. The comfortable plat
form for foot-passengers along the old track,
and the good gravel road by North Capitol
street, did not serve in the least to satisfy one
particularly keen chap. And what think you was
his proposition for the accommodation of the
dear people? lie wanted a city rail-track merely
for passengers and to connect with main
track the entire length of Pennsylvania avenue,
.''with branch or two across that same avenue
to the deep water-then those omnibuses which
make such lively hustle could be dispensed
with, and nobody visiting the cars for travel
need be incommoded for wee drap of the
creeture,' since sure a little bar could be kept
at the eend of the car, and the license could be
a general license!"
The revenue Of the corporation will be pretty
well drawn upon to keep down all the water OF
the low grounds around the new depot and the
selfrespect of all proprietors of lots will keep
away groggeries, for such establishments create
nothing but confusion around depots. Let there
be at least two good approaches in bad weather,
and let the other streets be smoothed down for
ready access in the summer season. But out
upon all schemes Of railways coming near the
great national highway. The project would be
prolific of accidents. If a road could pass under
the avenue, the objection would not be so great.
But the southern steamboat routes, leaving our
city as being deemed expensive both to live in
and to travel from, will render the project un-
necessary. Besides, it is an advantage to trade
to have carts, wagons, and omnibuses employed
in the transit of persons, baggage, and merchan'
disc. Let all these propositions be thoroughly
scanned, and SELF will be found at the bottom
Speculation is abroad, and even the swamps OF
the Tiber are not too lot0 field for its opera.

| AM WEARY.-A BALLAD.
by JOEL AUSTIN.
Oh, Pm weary, weary, Fannie
am waiting all alone,
Since the spirit that worshipp'd
From its shrine so pure has flown.
Though love, love the temple
Where my full heart came to pray,
'Tis but your shadow, Fannie,
For, my life you're gone away.
But often in the churchyard,
In the valley where you rest
When the twilight shadows thicken
And its tears are on your breast .
Steal, as soft as summer breezes,
To the pillow where you lie;
But cannot weep-Pm weary
am weary, and would die!
And Pm thinking, always thinking
And your death is like dream;
But you stay so long away, love,
That the world no more may seem
The same, where we were happy,
In the moonlit nights Of June;
Twill never seem again, love,
For I'll not forget you soonl
The winter SHOWS have fallen
On the mound where you have lain,
The March winds ceased their wailing,
And the spring has come again;
But the seasons go unconscious,
l am mindless of them, too;
l am weary, weary, Fannie
Iwould rest in peace with you'll

THE C0IINTRY PREss.

In many of the adjacent counties We
hear rumors of the decline of the local
press. The proprietors find their business
Improbable. Men Of the proper business
talent and editorial capacity can engage
in other employments, and make them
more profitable. Editing and school teach
ing, two of these employments. which in
relation to their influence on the moral and
pecuniary prosperity Of the community,
are second only to the ministry, fall too
generally into incompetent hands, from
want of suitable remuneration. This ought
not to be so.
We have been surprised that the coun.
try press has not been more ready to De.
fend itself against the insiduous encroach'
ments Of unjust laws upon its prosperity
and influence.
The office laws of the United States
embody system of legislation designed,
as well as calculated to overthrow the
country press, by the grossest robbery and
injustice.

BETTER THAN HEARING JENNY LiND.--
A correspondent Of The Richmond Wing
relates the following incident: 81. 5 n
ga gentleman well known in Richmond
leit home on Friday evening, on his way
10 the concert, with ten dollars in his spock-
ct. Before reaching the theatre he met
poor fellow from the country in great disc
iress. II seems the poor fellows cart had
been broken down; it was getting late; no
was many miles from home, and had no
means Of paying for the repairs. Tha'
gentleman, seeing the mans distress,
asked what the repairs would cost-ha
was told about ten dollars. The ten doll
lars intended for the concert were immes
diately given for this purpose, and he rs-.
turned home without hearing the iar,
famed Miss Jenny. Here true sympathy
and bsnevolence gained the victory over
selfindulgence. And who doubts that this
gentleman felt q calmer and purer joy
than any Of the hundreds who thronged
the theatre on Friday night" hai
