PRoGREss OF RA1LRoADs.-The first
Railroad in the State of New York was the
Mohawk and Hudson, sixteen miles in length
now called the Schenectady. IT was com
meneed in 1880, and finished in 1893 only
eighteen years ago. On the first of January
last, there were in operation in the State Of
New 7 FORK, Que thousand four hundred miles
Of railroad, costing $50, 200, 900. There was
nearly the same number of miles in 1assa-
chusetts; while in the entire of the New En-
gland States, the miles amounted to . ga,
costing s96, 946, $50. The total in operation
IN the United States in january, 1851, was
e, 797 costing S2S6, 455, 079. Since then,
O sufficient number ofsmiles has been COM
pletcd to increase the grand total to 10,000
miles, and the amount of investments "a
500, O00 900. Four years ago there was

Constitutional Uni0n Meeting Of aeorgia.

I
MILLEDGEYILLE, Jan. 90.
The Constitutional Union Party held their
second meeting In the Senate Chamber. to-
night
Mr. Irwin, of Wilkes, from thecommittee
appointed at the preliminary meeting held
last week, reported the following resolutions
to the meeting:
ReSoleed, That it's the fixed deterni-
nation Of the Constitutional Union Party, as
has been heretofore frequently announced, to
unite with that National party only, which
viii adept as part of its creed, the princi-
/ pies set fortllin the resolutions of the late
Georgia and AIississip pi Conventions.
2 3eSotued, Hhatin order to perfect that
policy, and carry ont the well settled princi-
/ pies Of Che Constitutional Union Party, a
State Central Committee of seven beappoint-
led by this meeting, whose duty it shall be,
at theproper time, to call Convention com
posed Of double tho number of Representa-
lives from eachscounty, to assemble at the
Capitol, at suclr time as SAID committee may
designate, to take into consideration the next
Presidential election.
3. Resolcetf, That regarding; as do, the
National Democratic Party as more likely
than any other National party, to adopt the
principles of the Constitutional organization,
we believe it the true policy of the Conven-
ton which may assemble at the Capitol, to
send delegates to the next Baltimore Demo-
cratic Convention, with such instructions as
| it may. be thought advisable and proper TO
give, provided no Intervening events should
lauthorise a different course.
Mr.. Harris, of Clark, moved to strike out
the third resolution, so as to leave the meet
ing entirely non-commi5tal Mr. Harris ad-
Yocated his motion in short speech, and
was backed BY Mr.. Mosely
Messrs. Clarkeof Stewart, Pryorof Troup,
Miller and Merriwetherep opposed the motion.
The motion to strike out did not prevail
and the resolutions were adopted.
