z. m. RoAD.-We learn that the Zanes-
vile and Maysville Road was purchased, on
last, for the Creditors. Several
conditions remain yet to be complied with,
but we have hopes that satisfactory arrange
ments can be made between all the creditors
so that the sale will be confirmed and the
road completed between GAINESVILLE and
ChillicOthe.
STEAMBuAT MANAGEMENT AND RACING ON
THE NORTH RvEE.-The grand jury OF New
York city has made a prcsentment in when
they state that the steamboats, navigating
the North river are in the constant habit oil
violating the provisions of the act oil Con-
gress, which requires them to blow OH steam
at the landings or other stoppages OF the
boat, and also that they hnd most con-
clusive evidence that the practice of
racing-in the various forms oil racing u
rainst rival boats, racing against the rail
road, and racing against tme--has been OF
late very general and constant with many
boats on The North river. Besides the inn
mediate and terrible dangers of explosion
and fire to which this reckless and pro!iigate
nractice directly leads, the grand jury con-
slider the great hurry at landings as involv-
iny no inconsiderahlc risk to life and limb,
and the abuse and taschoOd which this We
hement competition gives rise to, AS evils OF
great magnitude. Cases not nnirequently
occur of boats passing their regular landings
in spite of the rcmonstrances of passengers
10 such destination in order to assist or Sc
cure victory in the through trip. They al
so call attention to the necessity Of more
carefully providing against accidents
by fires, and for better discipline
amnng the officers Of boats by providing
them with badges so that in cases of alarm
the passengers may he able TO recognize said
officers. In conclusion they call upon the
prosecuting attorney to punish every viola
ton of the law in relation to steam naviga-
ton. -.
