A GREAT PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT.

The New York Evening Post has the following
in relation to the Mobile and Ohio Railroad
The rapid progress making the Illinois Central Rail-
road which stretch from Chicago on Lake Michigan
Cairo the mouth of the Ohio river renders its
pleon within the three years stipulated comparatively
certain The Mobile and Ohio Railroad will meet the
Illinois Central Road at the Ohio river and will form
line of 494 miles, running through the heart of the States
of Tennessee, Mississippi and Alabama, and terminating
at Mobile, on the Gulf From Jscnto, in Mississippi,
there win be branch to Nashville connecting with two
lines, Louisville, another to Lexington, and to
Covington on the Ohio, opposite to Cincinnati. This
road will therefore be important to the South the
Illinois Central to the West and together constitute
Of the most important and gigantic enterprises pro-
ected this country With ordinary speed by this route
when completed travellers may reach the mouth of the
Ohio in seventeen hours from Mobile, and thirty-one
hours from New Orleans whereas the only route at pre-
sent is by the Mississippi which consumes one hundred
and eight hours From Mobile to Cincinnati, by the Nash
vile branch the railroad will carry passengers in twenty
seven hours making forty-one hours from New Orleans
while the only existing by the river occupies
average time of one hundred and ninety-two hours AS
Mobile is situated the bay having excellent harbor
and is than New Orleans to the Atlantic by
hundred and miles, and within fifteen miles Of the
open Gulf the road will be extensively used for bringing
down cotton and other produce of the interior win
also bring the mouth Of the Ohio six hundred and twenty
six miles and ninetyseven hours nearer New York and
Liverpool than at present via the Mississippi river. To
new outlet their productions viii give the benefit Of
more remuneratng markets At present the region
through which the road will pass average hun
dred miles west of the river Mississippi is without
market from eight to nine months Of the year and sup
plies have to be laid in at time for the consumption
Of that long period Of at loss Of interest and
waste Two-thirds of the population along the line
about 600 000 engaged in growing cotton, and OBJ
tain their supplies Of breadsuf provisions &C. from the
North by the Mississippi and Bgbee rivers at expense
for freight amounting 100 per cent the cost in the
Ohio markets Their crops must be sent forward three
months after harvest when the rivers full In January
February and March, and sometimes in April, If at ALL
and then foreign supplies in at the same time These
have been the practical impediments to the progress In
wealth and population Of these States and all OF these
railroads win tend to remove.
At the Mobile end thirty three miles Of road are com
pleted and in running ORDER with terminal station.
Ffy-6ve miles further are under contract and one hun
dred and seventy miles in addition will be put under
tract by August September next making two hundred
and sixty seven miles from Mobile.

THE GERMANS AND INTERVENTION.

A New York paper states that since the late
German Kossuth meeting, and agreeably to the re-
solutions therein adopted the bureau and committee
and drew up a Constitution for the " Democratic
Association of the German Americans" the tep-
dency of which is laid down in the following reso-
luton, which was unanimously adopted
Resolred That it is the object of the Association
effect the general acknowledgment of the Importance and
power of the German element representative Of pro-
gress, in all questions OF external well internal
policy within the National Democratic party"

of the road should not exceed so per cent the
surplus to eet the floating obligations which may be in
CURED for ting Increased equipment recommended by the
General Superintendent and above interest at per
cent on debt and Bupposng them to be limited 70
one, two, and three years, would BE $275,512,7
If the gross revenuss $a009OOQ the surplus APP
plicable to this purpose would be 3426, 2so0A
And if it should reach the amount estimated for, say
81 600 OOo then this surplus would be 1926 q
nearly equal to the whole cost Of the additional equip
ment."
In reference to the tariff of charges the road Mr.
SwANS remarks:
would take occasion also to mention here that the sub
ect of the tariff win require the early attention of the
Board in order that the people Of the West may know at
early day upon what they will have to rely the
ing of the road Upon this point need hardly repeat
that am advocate for such rate of tolls will Eff
eetuay the trade of the West We have it in
power accomplish this great object and the interests
of the city well the stockholders imperatyey de-
mands that the most liberal arrangements should be made
to secure the fullest employment your machinery and
to the utmost capacity the ability Of your road In
this effort you will have powerful auxiliary in the cheap
ness of your transportation due the presence Of fuel
not surpassed by any in this country which you
command at an almost nominal price. This subject
would ask the Board to refer to the appropriate commit
ee with instructions to report tariff at early day"
And in conclusion he says
The Chief Engineer reiterates his confidence in the
completion of the road to Wheeling the LIST Of January
1853 Beyond Farmont the most active efforts making
carry forward the rails with little delay pracca
ble From this point to Wheeling the graduation is al
ready well advanced and at many points ready to receive
the superstructure
The Postmaster General has decided to run the great
Western mail after the LIST Of july to Three Forks and
from thence the Ohio river by the Northwestern road
This arrangement it is hoped, will bring back portion
the travel which has been diverted by other and
advanced works
After the 1st Of January next the great Western
mail will doubtless pass the entire length of this
road from Baltimore to Wheeling 1t is believed that this
mail service together with express for light pack
ages which may be in connection with the passenger
trains will pay an interest on more than 900 900 of
capital The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad will have no
rival for the great Western mail working it does in
connexion with the Washington branch"

from Baltimore

The New York " Times has the following no
tice of Mr. WEBsrER's views in regard to the nomi-
nation of ScoTT and GRAHAM:
"The Ninth Ward Lundys Lane Club held its regular
meeting last night at the Blocker street house, and
addressed eloquently and ably by Hon A. TLLNADoE,
who spoke of the general position and principles Of the
Wing party and Of the prospects Of its success In the
Of his remarks he made very interesting and i'm
portant statement in regard to Mr. WEBSTER, which will
be read just with very general satisfaction He said
he had Mr.. Webster during the day, and had con-
versed with him freely upon the nomination and prospects
Of the Wing party. Mr. Webster in the conversation,
acknowledged gratefully the attachment and devotion
which his friends had exhibited, both in the National
Convention and since the nomination had been made But
he said he did not how any good result could be
tanned by presenting his any further to the country
and that one common duty devolved upon us all,
that namely, Of rayng to the support of the candidates
regularly nominated by the Representatives Of the Wings
of the Union in Convention assembled For his own part
he was ready give the Wing ticket his cordial support
and so he trusted Wings every where whateye,
might have been their personal predictions

The newspapers bring the news Of the Death
of the Hon THOMAS NJ. 7, MCKENNAN, of Wash
ington, in the State of Pennsylvania; citizen emf
nently distinguished by his public well private
virtues and proportionably honored by the conf
dence of his immediate fellow-citizens, whom he
served for several years in the capacity of Represen
tative in Congress- with their universal appreciation
He died in READING, Pennsylvania, at the residence
of Judge BELL, his brother-in-law, on Friday last.
Soon after the accession of Mr.. FILLMORE to the
Presidency, Mr.. McKENNAN was invited by him to
take charge of the Department of the Interior His
acceptance of that invitation gave great satisfaction
to the President, who had served with him in Con-
gress, and to all those who had witnessed, as the
President had his fidelity to his public duties, and
his integrity and in all things
A few days experience in his new and important
Office however, satisfied him that its requirements
were incompatible with the domestic and retiring
habits of his life, and he withdrew from the trust
which he had undertaken rather from desire to
sustain the Administration Of a friend whom he re-
spected and admired, than from any motive of am
bition, of self-esteem, or of love of power.
Since that very brief trial of official life, he had,
until his DEATH lived in comparative retirement
We were personally well acquainted with Mr..
MCKENNAN, and we owe it to his memory to de-
clare that we never knew more manly, upright
and excellent person.

CONG R E S s.

Making due allowance for the excitement caused
by the two successive National Party Conventions
lately held for the profounder sensation occasoned
by the decease of the great Western Statesman and
for the suspension of labor really required in the
Halls of the Capitol during the progress of these
events, we cannot say that the two Houses of Con-
gress have employed their time any worse for the
last three or four weeks than for the several proceed
ing months of the Session.
1t is not less true, however, that we are already
nearly halfway through the Eighth month of the
Session, and serious progress has yet been made
in the legislation indispensable to keep the wheels
of the Government in motion. The bill to supply
deficient appropriations which ought to have been
made By the last Congress- reported six months ago,
has not yet passed. and it may be yet another month
before it becomes law and certainly ciU be, if the
same range of debate be allowed upon it which has
hitherto in both Houses distinguished it from any
bill ever before discussed in Congress
Meanwhile the Fiscal Year is at an end, and SO
are, or soon will be- all the appropriations for the
support Of every branch of the Government. Among
the appropriations which have been exhausted Eek
cept the small remainder unexpended in the hands
of the Officers of the Senate and House of Repre-
sentatves) is that for the pay and mileage of Mem
beers of Congress. We state this as fact, without
entering into a consideration of what may be the
consequence of state of things so unprecedented.
