ing the Address, in defence OF Mr..
Geyer and The position Of the Wing
party. The Times is quite elated al
this fresh attempt TO distract the wings,
while the Republican publishes it with
out line Of comment, which is con.
s,rued by some into an endorsement of
the sentiments contained in the Ad.
dress.

Correspondence of tn Baltimore Sun.

WAsHINGToN, April /.
General Scott, accompanied by several
officers, is about TO leave for Wheeling. and
thence TO go down the Mississippi. for the
purpose OF selecting suitable sto or sites
for military asylum. A site has been Sc.
lected and purchased in this district. It's @
farm OF hundred acres, on the heights
north Of the city. adjoining Kalorama. 1t
was owned by Major Thomas Of the army,
and was purchased for the sum OF 10000
dollars, and is well adapted, by convenience
and heallhfulnes, for the object. 1t is very
important that one Of The asylums should be
in this district and conducted under the eye
Of the Government, and subject 10 the scru>
tiny OF Congress. Many disabled soldiers
come 10 this city and spply to members
from their districts for relief and can be i'm.
media!aly provided for at the asylum.
The intelligence from the frontier OF
Texas and from New Mexico, OF the renew
al Of Indian hostilities upon the unprotected
Inhabitants, calls for the attention OF the
Government. What can be done in the
emergency, is a question, for the Governmen
is left by Congress without means 10 afford
the necessary protection TO the inhabitants.
The additional mounted regiments called for
were not granted, and the estimates for the
QuaTtermaster's Department; were cut down
by i'll timed and penny saving policy, which
will in the end, be very costly.
The Government has not the means even
TO employ the regular army in the service.
Tor there is no adequate appropriation for the
subsistence OF troops in that Wilderness
The solemn treaty engagements OF the United
States with Mexico, and the obligations OF

PLANK ROADS,


Among the many improvements in
the means of communication, which
have been prosecuted in the last few
years, plank roads are assuming very
important rank. A little work by Mr..
Kingsford, of the Hudson river railroad
is of great interest, and should be cir.
cuIatsd throughout the country. Il
appears that the first plank road in
Canada, was laid down in 1886, and
New York in 1887; but it is only with.
in the las, four years that they have
been much prosecuted. There now
exists as follows:
PLANK ROADS IN OPERATION.
No. of Roads. Mis-, Av. cost per mile. Total.
Canada. 442 Sl.750 S773,
N. York 10 2ll6 1883 $500, 1903
Very nearly four millions Of dollars
have been expended in New York upon
these roads, and the resulting advan.
tages are immense. The roads have
all been subscribed for by individuals,
and all pay handsome dividends. For
instance, the Troy and Lansingburg
road pays 10 per cent, semi annua;
the Utica and Burlington, 90 per cent,
and we believe none in operation pay
less than 10 per cent, and none Of the
stock can be bought in the market.
The importance Of plank roads in
farming regions becomes self evident,
when it is stated that on the Saina
road two horse team drew six tons
of iron twelve miles, without unusual
strain. Four and a half tons is an or.
binary load, and team will travel
with il eigh, hours per day. four miles
an hour, day after day. A farmer, in
a heavy country, stated that the tolls
paid saved themselves in the labor of
cleaning horses. In all localities where
these roads are in operation land rises
greatly in value. On the Saina road
farm land rose from 50 to SIS per acre.
On the Syracuse road the increase was
$40 per acre. II will be observed that
an amount of property equal to 4,OO0,.
900. dolls. bearing high rate of inter
est, has been created, and that proper
~ has added in addition several mil
lions 10 the value of the land through
which it runs, and tina. all this proper,,
is mere saving from tho old cost o
transportation. As the existence ant
operation Of these roads is but it'll

last few weeks small companies of emf.
grants have arrived there with wagons,
horses, mules, oxen and other articles
of outfit, on their way across the plains.
Most Of them are destined for Oregon
Territory. Many Of those who have
arrived are agents for companies that
are to follow and take their departure
from this point. Several families have
arrived here, over land, and will leave
as soon as there is grass sufficient to
support their stock.
This season being several weeks

ELECTION FOR SENATOR IN CALIFoR-

ELECTION FOR SENATOR IN CALIFoR-
NIA.-The New Orleans Della fur,
nishes the following information, in
regard 10 the election Of a Senator, 10
succeed Col. Fremont:
The California journals per The North
America, announce that the Legislature had
l42 ballotings for Senator, without making
choice. The last ballot stood, for Free
mont s, Geary 4, Weller 4, Hydenfel. 16
King Is, Collier 2. Fremont, Geery and
Weller divided the Democratic vote King
and Collier the Wing vote, and Hydenfel
received the vote OF the soulherners. 1t II
a remarkable fact, that whilst ii has beer
pretended by northern politicians, and con
ceded by not few so ulhern ones, that Cali
fornia was Overwhelmingly ant.slavery--
whilst the south was willing tamely to sub
nit TO the absorption OF this valuable terri.
tory by the North, the Legislature OF Cali
fornia actually casts a plurality OF votes in
favor OF an ultra.soulhern Senator. Mr..
Hydenfelt has been long known in Alabama
as one Of the slaunchest friends OF the South.
He is, too, a gentleman who, by his com.
manding talents and character, would reflect
high honor on the State. We ferveniIy
hope that The result may be in his favor.

and the coinage would be proceeded

law, which makes no provision for
procuring the silver and copper to com.

by the authorities at Washington to
remedy the deficiency. The new coin
is decidedly neat and tasty. 1t is one
fourth copper and three fourths silver,
50 that the baser metal affects the color
bu, slightly. In size, it is between the
gold dollar and the five cent piece, but
il is so much thinner than either, that a
blind man can easily distinguish them
apart by the touch. The face of the
coin has a capital c, with III in numer.
