ADJOURNMENT.

At eight O'Clock on Monday morning, both
Houses of the Legislature adjourned sine die.
No business of Importance was done in that
session. In the Senate, an effort was made
to agree to agree to the House amendments
to the Sub-Treasury bill, but it failed. That
measure is therefore lost, and the Treasury
Department remains under the same laws as
heretofore. The resolution ordering the Au-
ditor to pay the amount claimed by MEpARY
for last years printing, was discussed in the
Senate, but was finally withdrawn. The ac.
count remains unsettled.
In the House, at the hour of eight, the
Speaker arose, and thanked the members for
the courtesy, &c, to him, during the SESSION.
Mcssrs. LYTLE and WARD, of Warren, spoke
in respon Sc, in very happy manner. The
Speaker then announced that the House stood
adjourned. Similar events took place in the
Senate. The members separated with mutu.
al good feeling. And thus closed the first
Legislature under the second constitution of
Ohio.-O. s. Journal

THE CENTRAL RAILROAD.

We find the following in the ". Y. Tri-
bWnne, of March 4th:
ave have been advised of n sale, few
days since, in Baltimore, of 800 900 of the
non-convertible bonds of the Central Ohio
Railroad. These bonds are part OF $500 900
secured by the first and only mortgage upon
the uivision of the railroad between Zanes-
VILE and Wheeling. or balance, $780,
600 have been sold by Delano, Dunlevy &
Co., Agents OF the Company in this city, at
prices ranging from 95c to par, and $500, 900
yet in their hands, will probably be reserved
until the wants ofthe Company require sale,
or until further cevelopements in regard to
the business of the road, which has proved
very flattering since the opening between
GAINESVILLE and Columbus, about a month
since. The receipts from way traffic alone,
without the opening of the coal trade (bound
to be very important element in the success
of the road,) and without the facilities of a
single freight or passenger house for the ac-
commodation of trade, are stated to be equal
to ten per cent. upon the cost of that portion
Of the line. This, we believe, is nearly dou.
BILE the result achieved in the came period OF
its operations, by the Columbus and Xenia
road, which is now earning from Is to Is per
cent"

COLONEL BENTON.

A letter was laid upon the desks of the
Senators on Monday, addressed by Colonel
BENTON to the People of Missouri on the
subject Of National Highway from the
Mississippi river to the Pacific. It advocates
! the Central route, for which Colonel Fremont
has long expressed n preference, and which
has "rcmained unnoticcd for three years
while the Southern (Iemphs) route has
monopozed attention and acquired an en-
crossing prominence"
! Colonel BENTON is in favor of making this
| highway on grand scale, reserving a tract a
mile wide .nr all sorts of roads, rail and mac
adaniSed, and a plain old English road, and
two margains one Hundred feet wide for indie
pendent and rival ielegsaphc lines, He is
opposed to making This highway by any
mixture of public and pirate means, or by
giving lands TO companies, but holds that
the United States should build the road and
the fixtures, and let out the use of il 10" terms
Of seven or ten years to the lowest bidurr.
The present System of railways from the
Mississippi to the Atlantic, he regards as an
expanded fan, the spokes of which converge
to st, Louis, the handle extending thence to
San Francisco.
We look to Colonel BENTON with conf.
dence for his valuable aid in reforming the
House Of Representatives, and bringing 1t to
a state admitting Of tho transaction Of busi.

WASHINGTON, March Is.

SENATE met and went into Executive
Session after resuming the public session.
Mr.. Clayton resumed his remark. com.
menccd yesterday, in reply to Mr. Mason and
Mr. Douglass, and controvertcd the position
that treaties could or should not stay the pro.
grcss OF country, and said he trusted that
no idea OF the growth Of this country would
ever induce any American Statesmen to
abandon the principle, without which we
would become a by-word and a reproach
throughout the globe.
Mr.. Mason asked for an explanation from
the Senator, who, he said, had CHARGED him
with II mistake in showing, by the maps OF
Guatamala, that the British settlements at
the Balize are within the limits of Guatsmala.
Mr.. Clayton said the dates on the maps in
dicatcd the limit of Guatamala, and if Mr..
hason understood the map to include the
Ballze, then he committed a mistake.
Mr.. Mason replied, coniending, that the
may shows that the British possessions arc
within the territory of Guatamala.
Mr.. Clayton rejoined and expressed an
opinion that the lines in question shows the
Ballze is sepcrate from GUATEMALA.
Mr.. Douglass obtained the floor and the
Senate adjourned.

MIR. CLAYTON.

! In the Senate on Monday the discussion Of
the Clayton Iiulwer treaty was continued.
Mr.. Mason undertook to correct Mr.. Clay
ros in his geography, by establishing from
the author itics that British Honduras is in
Guatemala, and therefore in Central America.
Mr.. CLAYTON replied briefly to Mr.. MASON,
showing that the very map which he brought
! forward to establish his position demonstrated
itS error. In the course of his remarks Mr..
, DoUGLAs interrupted him, and n slight passarc
at arms occurred between the honorable Sen
atOrs, in which both sustained themselves
with cunning and vigor of fence. Mr.. CLAY
TON, however, was a iiHic hard on Young A.
mcrica in his illusions to the Presidential
candidacy, and the fact that all his rivals for
the Presidency approved of the Clayton
Buwcr treaty, whereby Delaware undertook
to account for the apple in Young Americas
dumping.
We were given to understand the other day
! that Mr.. CLAYTON had been annhilated by
the Senator from ilnois-chipped and mine
ed in manner lamcntube to be considered
On inspection, however, we found the honor
able Senator from Delaware as full of life &
energy as ever, and to all appearances quite
able to make meal off OF Young America
without Inconvenience.
In the course of his remarks Mr.. CLAYTON
stated very emphatically TINT it was his inten-
ton not TO oppose the Administration on its
policy so FAR as it had been developed, and ex-
pressed the hope that he might be able to sus-
tain it through its whole course - ashing-
ton Republic.

A friend who recently crossed the noun
toins from Wheeling to Baltimore, says he
was very agreeaby disappointed in finding
the Railroad from Wheeling to Cumberland
a smooth, safe and agreeable road. From the

sion has prevailed, which we are glad to be-
lieve is unjust With our present informa-
ton we would as much expect comfort and
safety On that road as on any other.--O. s.

which the Senate refused to agree. The dis

would back out, and consequently the bill fell
to the ground. Senator WILSON takes special
credit to himself ior defeating it, while its

Development of the Lungs.

Much has been said and written upon diet,
eating and drinking; but | do not recollect
ever noticing remark in any writer upon
breathing or the manner of breathing Many
and especially ladies in easy circumstances,
contract d estructve mode of breathing.
They suppress their breathing and contract
the habit of hort, quick breathing, not carry
ing half way down the chest. and scare ely ex-
paudng the lower portion Of the chest at all.
Lacing the bottom of the chest also gr realty
increases this evil, and confirms a bad babit
of breathing. Children that move about a
good deal in the open air, and in no way laced,
breath deep and full to the chest and every
purt of it. So also with outdoor laborcrs a.
persons who thae great deal of exercise in
the open air, because the lungs give US the
power of action, and the more exercise we
take, especially out Of doors, the larger the
| lungs become, and the less liable to disease.

no further without endangering the peace o
