A QUESTION. N.--Some editor, down South,
cautions mothers not to allow black women
to sucklc their children, because the milk
innucnces more or less the formation Of the
child's character, and negroes being inferior
to the whites, the sucking grows up with
out talent, vicious or phlegmatic, and with
many Of the pcculiaritics Of the negro race.
This has raised a question with the Pitts
bnrgh Commercial Journal--a very impor-
tant one, too--as u whether il would be
possible for a child fed on "asses' milk" to
be talented Or, would the child grow up
an asst Many children,thc Journal observes,
are raised "on the bottle, "that is, on cows
milk, bought from milk carts and put in bot
tie. Nov, does the child thus fed grow up q
grent cd,f' or does he have AN inclination,
while conversing, to perpetrate bulls?

Oregon will apply for admission into the

the most valuable belonging to the United

settlers, before 1850, and half that amount
between 1850 and the end of l853-has haC
remarkable effect upon the country, secur

Mr.. CLAY's SICKNESS. New York
Express makes this statement Illustrating
the very frail tenure by which Mr.. Clay now
retains his life. The editor derived the state
nent from Dr.. Jackson;
"One feature of his feebleness Is that he
cannot support himself alone, and is not al
lowed to walk, even with the support of o.
thcrs. DR.. Jackson told him recently that
if he stood erect he would faint, and that If
he should faint he would breathe no more.
why is thisp asked Mr.. Clay. Because
there is not enough of vitality in the heart

then come to this! said Mr.. Clay, and for
moment, sorrowfully. And, seeing the me-
ccssity he has suffered himself to be borne
like child to and from bis bed. Mr.. Clay,
throughout, has studied his disease, It disease
it be, critically, thoughtfully, and even ply
sically. He has watched the gradual vast
ing away of lie, until there is but the fuiut-
est pulsation left to I'll him that the spirit
still survives within its emuciated tenemen,
of flesh. He will die calmly and beautifully
us he has lived, and his spirit will depart full
of the Christian hope of blessed immortal
ity." .....

PROGRESS OF THE RAILRoAp.--We pub
lish, in another column, the official report Of
the proceedings of the meeling of Stock
holders Of the Cincinnati, Wilmington and
GAINESVILLE RAILROAD Company, at Circleville
on the 18th inst, for the election of Board
of directors. Notwithstanding the rule pro-
hibiting the representation Of stock in the
election upon which the regular Install
ments had not been paid, there was over
million Of stock voted upon.
The great unanimity Of feeling towards
the old Board Of Directors, as manifested in
their almost unanimous reelection, was a
most Aattering evidence of tho approval by
the stockholders generally, of its former acts
in conducting the affairs Of the Company.
There are, doubtless, as there always are
local jealousies and dissatisfactions existing
at various points along the line of the road;
but these are little annoyances that never
have, and we presume never can be entirely
avoided while the interests and views otmen
continue to be so diversified. The Bonrd
of Directors may have erred in judgment in
matter of minor importance, though we do
not know that they have; and It would be
wonderful indeed if they should not, when
there was 80 much to be done by them, in SO
short time. Whether they have or not, II
is most manifest that the stockholders OF the
Company generally, are well pleased with
their labors thus far; and entirely willing To
trust them again.
There ia no Company Of equal age with
this, in the country, that has progressed sc
rapidly with its work; or that promises sc
speedy a completion of it. Already, many
miles of the rond,a various points along the
line, are graded and ready for the SUI
perstructure; whilst Mr.. DeGraf and hi'
host of assistants are pushing the work for
ward as fast as ''men and money can make
| it CO." We learn that there are now EN-
ployed, at the various points along the road
over fifteen hundred men.-C Clinton Repab.
