This exceeds the entire banking capital of the coun.
try, AT this moment the construction of railroads in
different States of the Union is progressing with as
much rapdity at any previous period since they COM
menced, and the ncreas is at the rate Of more than
five per cent per annum. 1t is about twenty years
since railroads were first put in active operation on this
side OF the Atlantic, and the increased has averaged
about thousand miles annually from that time to
this twenty thousand miles Of railroad are completed
or IN state OF construction. Until within the past few
years, the Eastern and Northern States monopolzed
the building OF Ra lroads. Lately, the South and West
nave gone extensively into the business, and railways
are stretching into the remotest sections of our extreme
Southern and Western States. In short time Indiana
Illinois, Missouri, and the States bordering on the
Mississippi river viii be well covered with railroads
as any OF the New England States are at this moment
Flank roads are extending themselves every direction
and are important tributaries to railroads and canals
1t Is question in our mind, plank roads will not
prove productive investments than railroads. An
immense amount ofcapal has already been expended
IN a1ordlng facilities Tor transportation in this way;
ana It Is our impression that plank roads are extended
as rapidly as railroads, mile for mile. The annexed

HE PEsTMENcE IN THE GRAND CAKARY-A private
letter. dated Ienertfe, July lst appears in the London
Standard OF the 4th inst. The writer says that the
pestllence continues to rage with undmnished violence
tor though the number OF deaths the capital is cops
derably lessened, it is owing solely to the population
| being so much thinned, while The disorder having
spread to almost all the other towns in the island is
producing degree OF mortality unwitnessed under ST.
milar vsatons in any other part of the globe By last
accounts the deaths in Galdar place with $500 souls
range from 40 10 so per day, and this is but one ex-
ample OF what happens in the rest. In numerous in
stances death ensues within three hours from the first
attack if the patient survives the third day there is
hope OF recovery. Many families have entirely disap-
peared, and others have been most tearully reduced
The doctors, of whom three have died out of the
tour that were in the city, have been quite unable 10
classify the epid emo, which evidently is not the known
choera, the patients previous to death becoming spot
ted with purple, and much swollen as well as The
copses, and the eyes bursting of the sockets Some
consider it typhodal cholera, and others with great
reason, believe it to be dsea brought into Canary in
January last through the illicit importation of GUAM
tity CT wool from the coast of Africa by a fishing yes.
sell Certain is, that ever since that period there has
been mortal sickness progressively increasing there
until the full heat of Summer, aided by want Of aten-
ton and other causes, has brought it to its acme-
Hitherto, thank God, our Island continues free from
injection, and every precauton is taken TO prevent na
tercourse with Canary, except through the quarantine
vessel employed by Government to bring over The week.

Fugitive Slare Remanded al Buffalo.

The city of Buffalo has been famous as the
capital, par excellence, OF Free-Sodom. 1t is par
ticularly gratifying, therefore, to know that the
Fugitive slave law has been executed there
The following is a statement of the case:
The examination in the fugitive slave case at Buffalo
mentioned in recent Geographic despatch, resulted it
order that he should be returned to his owner ii
Kentucky. The fugitive was cook on board the
steamer Buckeye State. lie did not deny that he wa:
a slave.
Alter his arrest and previous to the examination there
was an attempt at rescue as the prisoner was his
way TO the court room. Some two or three persons
were knocked down. but beyond that not much damage
appears to have been done. No further effort for a
rescue by violence appears to be anticipated.
Before giving his order for the removal of the fugi-
tive, Mr.. H K. Smith, the United States Commissioner
offered to subscribe twenty-five dollars towards pur-
chasing the freedom Of the negro.
The son OF the of the negro is under arrest
for an assault upon him by knocking him down by a
blow upon the head at the time OF the arrest.
The New York Express supplies the following
incidents of the occasion:
The psuedo Wing express, at Buffalo, in imitation O
its colored coempoiary Boston, thus breaks out over
the arrest OF the fugitive Daniels, there:
"THE UNION SAVED!
THE COMPROMISES OF THE CONSTITUTION INDICATED
AND THE MAJESTY THE LAW UPHELD i!
I'VE had hoped that this cup might pass from the city
OF Buffalo, but it was not ordered; now we trust
that the Castle Garden Committee & Co., will be con-
tent with conduct"
When the mob pressed around, with view to effect
rescue, the Buffalo Express tells US that 'he Com.
missioner pro ,laimed in loud voice, and in very EN-
phstc manner, follows IL want to say to you
colored people that have made the order carry off
this man. aud there will be force to execute it, telegraph
teegr aph, and if any OF you resist, you will be
sfot down"
"A honor then " says the Express of New York, "to
an officer OF the United States Government who thus
demonstrates his determination to obey his own oath,
and 10 execute provision OF the Constitution, regard
less alike OF ihe imprecaions of fanatics, black or a
mob OF Abolitonists, white. All honour, we say, to
such Commissioner"
AND all honour, say we, to Northern journal
that daTes to speak the truth plainly and boldly TO
the Northern public, Amongst the public BENG
factors of this day. there are few entitled to great
er praise taan the New York Express Il has
done more than any other Northern paper to set
the Northern mind right in regard to the necessity
of observing faithfully the Constitution, the only
means of preserving the Union.
