Flaltering Railroad Prospects.

The following item which we clip from the
st. Louis InteAigeneer. indicates a very favora.
bic state Of affairs at Washington. in reference
to our Railroad Grants. And this is confirmed
by the dispatch from H. w. Sample, which fol
lows it:
We are permitted to make the following ex.
tract Of letter, from source entitled to the
highest credit dated Washington, 22d January:
1.-THE first of the series ofrailroad bills, being
for the State Of Iowa, 10 now under discussion
in the Senate. The opposition is very feeble
"This bill, and all of a similar character re.
ported by the committee on public lands,
(among which are the Pacific and Hannibal
road bills.) will no doubt pass the Senate in a
few days. and by very decided majorities. In
the House the opposition will be more formi.
dable, but, am persuaded, not more success

had Nails.

The public should be on theirguard
against the imposition by worthless
nails. Iron is very cheap, and some.
kinds of nails are offered at a very
low price; but they are made of what
some call puddled iron, or something
worse. AT any rate it is refused,
worthless stuff, and never ought to be
cut into nails.
On examining these nails, cracks
and seams may be seen in them, and
admitting wet into all parts, they rust
as fast as thin scales from a smiths
forge. 1t is not long while since q
correspondent informed us that the
shingles were all blowing off from
one side Of building. He found the
nails gave way, though the shingles
were good, and had not been laid
mere then seven years. yr
Farmers are cheated quite enough
in the purchase Of poor shingles. In
twenty years they are forced to put
on new coat when the nails are
good. But to buy nails that will not
stand the weather more than a third
part of that time, is what they have
not calculated upon, and it is no won
der they are disappointed. We have
seen single nails thatwere not worth
carrying home as present. 4.
Our object is to warn purchasers
to examine these articles before they
buy. 1t will not require great skill
to detect such fraudulent mAoufsoS
turing. Board nails ~ now cut
from iron that will hid without
breaking. We can s11c8 cut board

ENG1ANp PRrpAR1NG FOR DEFENCE

ENGLAND PREPARING FOR DEFENCE.
II was stated briefly in late foreign advIces,
that the greatest activity prevailed at The
Admiralty and in all the English dock
yards, and that England was about to defend
the whole coast in most efficient manner.
The reason given for this movement was
that the government intended TO be fully
prepared for any event, but especially for
sny demonstration of Louis Napoleon. The
qussi-mlnis,erial Journals now deny thai,
any unusual orders for The coast defences
have been given, or that any military camps
are about to be formed around London
The public, however, are satisfied that al
Woolwch end other dock yards the work
men have no, been SO fully employed for
several wears.
The Times and Naval Gazette, published
al Portsmouth, is so well informed upon
naval and other matters, ,hs, il is frequent
ly quoted BY the London journals; and that
paper states tina. battery Of 100 guns Of
heavy metal is ordered TO be constructed a.,
the Nab Light, near Spilhesd, as we'll as a
bai.ery for 100 guns on the Portsmouth
shore off Spnhead, with the least possible
delay. new fort st Browndown, on the
Gosport shore, is being constructed by roy
al Sappers and Miners, and the works are
ordered to be completed in two months
The rapid manner in which these and other
similar government works are now carrI-
ed on, shows that some fresh orders
have been Used by the Admiralty The
Shipping Gazette, generally weII-infnrmed,
states that The Admiralty intend to increase
the naval force almost Immediately, bu, Their
grea, difficulty will be in procuring sesmep.
1t is also announced that government or
der has been received a, Birming ham for the
immediate delivery Of ,wenty-lhree thou
sand rifles. These and similar orders show
that the government are preparing for any
event.

FOR SALE.

FENiiE subscriber intending to convert his Water
4 Mill into a Flour Mill exclusively and finding
his Horse Mill inadequate to the demand Of his Gus
toners, will substitute in its place Steam Mill.
The MACHINERY, therefore, of the HORSE
MILL is for sale.
Master Shaft and Tramp Wheel, small Shaft
and Counter Wheel the Husk Frame, Pinions,
Cogs, Spindle and Burs, constitute the entire and
pertecI machinery. The Pinions and Cors are cast
iron, aud good for seventy-fve ycars-indced the
entire machinery is Of the very best material, faith
fully put together by Mr. Beae, and warrants itself
good for long lifetime.
This Machinery, with cheap house of protection
over it in dry neighborhood, would be invaluable
to any gentleman Grst Mill. Moreover, fif-
teen feet of band running from the small shaft and
attached to Wheat Threshcr, would be saving over
one hundred dollars since Thresher can be bought
for fifty doars-but the Machine entire for not less
than one hundred and seventy. Saw Mill can
also be attached for very uncomfortable amount.
Now, with three horses and change, upon the
Tramp Wheel above notced,-all horses are obliged
to wak-none need gear-fortyfve bushels of good
meal can be ground and from two to three hundred
bushels of wheat threshed per day during the sum-
mer. The loft of the house of protection will
furnish an excellent granary. AS for labor to the
horses, will guarantee-for speak with a year s

This Mill can all be taken away at once, to any
