Winchester and Alabama Railroad.

We Inadvertently omitted last
week to notice the proceedings of the
Board of Directors, on the 10th inst
The Board having been organized
proceeded to elect officers of the
Company, to serve until the next
annual election, when the. following
were elected: Peter S. Dechard,
President; Geo. W. White, Sect; W.
B. Wagner, Treds.;; E. D. Sandford,
Chief Engineer.
! Messrs. Venable, Burrough, Estill,
Fitzpatrick, the President, Secretary
land Treasurer, we're constituted an
Executive Committee.
A resolution was passed authorM-
ing the Chief Engineer, to let the
third section of the Winchester and
Alaba ma Railroad as soon as posi-
sible, and directing him to require
the contractor to place upon the
work, such number of hands as viii
insure its very early completion IN
Tllis is the heaviest section on the
road, and embraces that portion o.
the line, running through Winches-
ter, and, also, a portion of the line OF
both sides Of the Boiling Fork Of Elk
river.
The building of the bridge ovel
that stream has heretofore delayed
the lettings Of this section, as all The
dirt excavated on the Winchester
side, will have to be transported OF
cars to the opposite side Of the creel
for the purpose of making an EN-
bankment. The bridge is now near
ly finished and will doubtless be com
{ pleted during the present week.
!, After that, there will be nothing t
hinder the letting Of this work.
In order to expedite the who'll
work, and complete the road to the
State line as soon as possible, thu
President has been authorised By
t the Board of Directors, to hypothe

To THE PUBLIC.-A very heavy
and unprecedented run upon the
Bank Of St. Mary's for the month
past, aggravated and brought to d
crisis by an unnecessary and prob
ably vndictive publication in the
Mobile Tribune, and copied in the
Montgomery Advertiser, without
comment, Of the inability Of a
Drawee TO pay the Banks draft for
$4,000, has, | am panied to say,
forced herto temporary suspension
Of specie payment. l. affords me,
however, pleasure 10 assure the
public, that the institutions is album
dainty solvent and requires only a
little time to marshal her assets.
In addition to her own means,
will bring TO her aid my own am
pile fprunc, until not a note shall
be left in circulation. The means
will be in few days provided TO
pay all her deposilprs; and the out
Standing checks upon the several
points drawn, will be honored on
presentation. These assurances
to the public Of the entire soIvency
of Tie Institution, are not given for
The purpose Of sustaining IFS credit,
as The Bank will be wound up
without delay, and her Charter
surrendered TO the power that
created il. The small notes oflhc

promptly redeemed, without inter-
mission, until the last dollar. shall

Two DRoMIos IN TIE RHODE ISLAND
LEGIs LATURE.- There are two broth
ers in the Rhode Island Legislature,
named Christopher Columbus Potter
and Americas Vespucius Potter, who
are SO much alike that it is doubted
whether either knows himself from
his brother. The Providence Jour-
nal says:
Christopher is wing, and Ameri-
Gus a democrat; and there will be a
pretty muss when they get to New
port. Not a soul in the House can
tell one from the other; and the dem
ocrats will be running to Christopher,
and the wings to, Americas, with all
the secrets of their respective par
ties, We have ourelves sometimes
com enced a political conversation
with the democratic brother, who al
ways had the generosity to interrupt
us before we got upon dangerous
grou nd. Now, when we meet either,
we say, as we take his hand, ''is' this
you or your brother? :" If it be
Christopher, he says it is J. and We
talk about politics; if it be Americas,
he says, st is not lit is my broth
err and-we talk about the weather.
We should advise them TO wear a
badge around their hats, like the
railroad conductors; but then they
would be sure to change hats, and
that would make it worse.

IDENTITY alarmed at the prospect Of
Mr.. FiIlmore's nomination for the
Presidency, and is appealing TO the

look well before they force him
upon their brethren Of the North
to 'se where the votes are TO come
FROM That is as good as saying
'ifyou nominate him, yon must elect
him, too-we are not inp
The Tribune, in urging the weak
ness of Mr.. Fillmore in the North,
charges him with prescribing many
influential wings whom he found in
office in New York, after the death
Of Gen. Taylor, and simply because
they were opposed 10 his fugitive
measures-for this and other rea-
sons, that he is, in the Tribpne's
own language, obnoxious to urge
Of the wings Of New York
The Tribune agrees, even if he
is nominated, TO support Fillmore
but it claims that he cannot carry
the State. 1t says the objections
made against him apply also to
Webster, but with less force who
might carry New York OF purse,
Scott is the Tribune's only ia orite.

that he is the identical Operator"
who appeared in this city a month
or two since, representing himself
as wealthy Sonthroner, who for
pas,ime, bought up, on "lhree

of cotton in this market, through
the agency Of one of our well

fell in with a gentleman Of that

intimate. On the day he started
: to Cincinnati, while in company
" ith his new friend, he met with a
man on the street, TO whom he
spoke in very rough manner, and

pretended to have against him; anC
the man, in the presence of his Gin

tioa.-Among the numerous discoveries science
has made in this generation to facilitate the bust
ness of lfe-increase its enjoyment, and even pro-
long the term of human existence, none can ne
named of more real value to mankind than this
contribution of Chemistry to the healing art. A
vast trial of its virtues throughout this broad coun
try, has proven beyond doubt, that no medicine
or combination of medicines yet known, can SO
surely control and cure the numerous varieties of
pulmonary disease which have hitherto swe pit from
our midst thousands and thousands every year,
Indeed, there is now abundant reason to believe
remedy has at length been found which can be re.
lied on to cure the most dangerous affections ofth4
lungs. Our space here will not permit US to pub.
fish any proportion of the affected by its use
but we would present the following opinions of
eminent men, and refer further enquiry to the
circular which the Agent below named will ALWAYS
be pleased to furnish Free wherein full partcu.

that it is an admirable compound for the relief OF
laryngial and bronchial difficulties. If my opinion
to its superior character can be of any service
you are at liberty to use it as you think proper.
