Railroad to MaysvilIe.

Four gentlemen belonging 10 the party
now engaged in examining railroad route
from Maysville oCatlettsburg, at the mouth
of Big Sandy,were in town on Sunday last,
having progressed with their line to Spring
vile opposite this place. The line, we un-
derstand, follows the valley of the Ohio all
the way, though il is intended, in returning,
10 examine route over the hills. This
latter one, We believe, will not be found
practicable, owing 10 the extreme roughness
Of the country. We were informed the
other day, by gentleman residing in Mays
vile, that the people Of Kentucky are de-
termined to push this road ahead. Ii SO,
and we do not doubt the fact, our own road
will be elhanced in importance, as large
portion of the travel from The South BY the
way Of Lexington and Maysville, will take
the route now being examined, as far as
this place and then lake our road to connect
with the Belpre road going east, or, when
ours is completed 10 Newark, TO go moth to
the Lakes. The iactis, this connection will
open wide door both for an accession ol
passengers andireigbt.
In the meantime we are happy to know
that our road is progressing with all the ra-
pidity necessary at this season Of the year,
and that the directors are now making ar
engagements to procure the iron, in readiness
for laying it down as early the coming sea-
son as may be required.

Life in Chill.

A friend of ours, now resident of Sa n
tiago de Chill, in South America, in. pri-
vate letter gives us very amusing account
of some of the phases of life in that distant
cline. They have warm times down there
sometimes. The Shaking Quakers must
have originated there just about the hour
that an earthquake made its debut:
The only amusements we have here are
earthquak S and revolutions. We expect "a
few NOR in about tAsee weeks from this
time. The revolutions are no great shakes
the fighting being only So so. Bu, the
'yearlhquakes are some Vegetables, and nc
mistake, It's q common thing here, during
theif occurrence, to have the plugs shaker
outbf ong's teeth; and sometimes as the ma.
tives religiously affirm, the entire tooth is
thrown out by the roots.
The ordinary mode of churning butter in
this country is 10 put the milk in skin
ususlly dogs skin--tie ii on a donkey,
.mo5nt boy on him with rowels to his
spurs about the length of the animals ears,
and then run him four mile heats. But in
these earthquake times, they hang up the
dogs skin and spurs, and leave it 10 the
'qudkes' to make the butter come IN D..

Sickness in the West.

The editor of the st. Louis Republican, on
personal knowledge, says there has not,
within the knowledge of the settlers on the
Upper Missouri, been such general preva-
Rnce Of feverand ague, as during this fall.
We crossed the Missouri river at Old Fort
Keasney into Iowa, and from thence down
through Missouri to 81. Joseph (and the coun-
try is populous) we scarcely found house
or fSmily that was not afflicted with the
disease, or typhoid fever in some shape OF
form. Whole families who have for years
enjoyed uninterrupted health, were prostra-
ted with the disease. The mortality, how
ever was not great.

A Brush With Pirates.

A dispatch from the Spanish Naval Com.
snander, at the Philippine Islands, of the
9Th Of June, mentions sharp combat be-
tween five Spanish feluccas and four pratt
cal vessels called pancos, manned by Moors,
which were captured on the Sd Of May, of
the Island of Paraguay, being boarded by the
Spaniarls. The loss Of the Moors is scalcu-
lated at hundred men. One Of the Span
is feluccas blew up, occasioning the loss Of
about twenty men, and there were Two Off
GERS ard eleven soldiers and sailors killed,
and one officer and sixteen soldiers wounded
in the engagement.

!. Public Money il .california..

The monthly publications Of the state of
the Treasury make no mention Of the amount
ofgovefnment funds on deposite in Califor-
MA and Oregon. How is this? tits well
known that large amount Of money has
been collected in California, and it is also
known that The law requires the publication
Iof The amount Of specie Ia the credit Of die
treasury at all places Of deposite, If MrF
Butler King, the collector at The Port Of San
francisco, is an,asgistaiit treasurer, the law
requires that he shall render his account, and
that the Secretary Of the Treasurer shall iny
clude i in his monthly report ifhe is not az
assistant treasurer, then by what authority
did he receive over halfa million of doltaJs
il6n his predecessor, Mr.. Collier. The sbse-
lsis BOND sre not itspuisiOls iOlNiIat

he holds large amount Of money without
authority. Look out for more Galphins.

The PRINTER's APPRENTIcE.-A young
man was once apprenticed as printer. He
boarded at the home of his father, who was
in easy circumstances but who required his
SON to pay his board from the availso Of Spec
ial perquisites which furnished his fellow ap-
prentices with liberal supply of funds for
pleasure. This the young man thought was
very hard, but when he was Of age, and mas
terof his trade, his father called him, and
said, "Here my son, is the entire amount Of
money paid to me for board during your APP
premiership; ! never intended to retain It.
but have reservedi it for your use--with it'll
give you as much more, small capital to
commence business, The wisdom Of the
old man was now apparent to the son. His
fellows had contracted bad habits in the ex-
penditure of similar pefquisites which his
father had withheld from him, and we've PEN

character to commence a. small business, and

APoor 3 naniel.

Z Mr.. Webster is always in very narrow
cifcuns;ances; IL we arctic believe some OF
his papers: IN order 10 show how needy
the poor man is, we may state that before he
would take the State Departmenthis friends
had to pay Rim $4,000 He was theriin
the receipt Of S6, coo prr sin,nn, The Inter
est Of an Investment Of Siub,0O0 made for
him some years since by Boston Capitalists.
His government post wouldadd $4,000 per
gear to these sums. TIE City of New Or
leans soon after re aimed him 10 the McDon-
ongh will ease, wiiha fee Of 90 600. He
had another retainer in the Gaines case Of
$1,000. The suits Of Ship Masters against
New York aud Massachusetts to recover
i,.;.s:k money paid on emigranls, were soon
atfef ds cided IN nj. Webstefs iayor. me
commissions on these suits and Others Of a
similar nature. are stated to reach the enor-
nous sum Of $4,000. While Daniel was
/" improving his health " recently, in Massa-
chusetts, he received $4,000 for bis argu-
ment Of the Great India Rubber case.
We will not stop TO foot up these gather
ings of the "poor" man, but simply add
that they are the change collected
since he joined the Fillmore Cabinet,-te
which aggregate we suppose should be ad-
ded nice SUM for prosecuting some OF
those claims before the Mexican Board
which are said 10 be fraudulent, and which
are making very inconvenient reputation
for certain Of our great men.
Although here is AN income much greater
than any officer Of any crown in Europe,
yet MIR. Webster is "poor" man, fit for
the charity Of any one who will contribute.
If he were NOT high in political position,
having about him party to applaud and
sustain, while he isreveling at this rate in
contributions and charities, he would find
il very difficult to escape opprobrium as a
profigate.
