interests of large classes had been unayoraby affect
ed by the establishment of the dilligences; and
as usual, many persons were, from mere stupidity
and obstnacy disposed to clamor against the inno-
yation simply because It was an innovation. 1t was
vehemently argued that this mode Of conveyance
would be fatal to the breed Of horses, and to the
noble art of craftsmanship; that the Thames, which
had long been important nursery OF seamen would
cease to be the chief thoroughfare from London
up to Windsor, and down to Gravesend that
sadders and spur1iers would be ruined by hundreds;
that numerous inns, at which mounted travellers had
been in the habit Of stopping, would be deserted,
and would no longer pay any rent; that the new
carriages were too hot in summer and too cold In
winter; that the passengers were previously annoy
ed by nvalids and crying children; that the coach
sometimes reached the inn so late it impossible
to get supper and sometimes started early that 1t
was impossible to get breakfast. On these grounds
it was gravely recommended that no public carriage
should be permitted to have than four horses,
to start oftener than week, to go more than
thirty miles day. 1t was hoped that if this regu-
lation were adopted, all except the sick and the
lame would return to the old modes OF travelling.
Positions, embodying such opinions as these, were
presented to the king and council from several com.
panies of the city of London from several provincial
towns and from the justices of several counties We
smile at these things 1t is not impossible that our
descendants when they read the history of the oppo
sition offered by cupidty and prejudice to the i'm
provements of the nineteenth century, may smile in
their turn

atoms for longer period than two years. or in other
words to allow the State to engage directly in the
construction of works of internal improvement. The
Joint resolution has been printed. The ateness of
the session will prevent the action of both houses
the matter. 1t is presumable Senator Potter only
intended by this means to place the question before
the people so that they might have it under discus
sion during the approaching general election.
The House OF Representatives have indefinitely
postponed bill providing for general system of
internal improvements and allowing the State to
loan so ,000O GOO for those purposes.
number of railroad charters have passed both
branches Of the Legislature.
Senator Dancy introduced bill on Friday "for the
organization of corporations for works OF public I'M
provement and utility" Its provisions are nearly
similar to those Of the Louisiana act on the same
subject.
A bill to establish and continue the Opelousas road
through the State of Texas, has passed the House,
and was under consideration yesterday in the Senate
There seems general feeling prevalent with many
members of both houses to give any general system
Of internal improvement the go by until the next
election, at which time they anticipate the people
will make expression of opinion in regard thereto

A joint resolution proposing to amend the consti-
tuition to allow of FREQ banking was refused to be en-
crossed in the Senate, by vote of ii to IL.
The apportionment bill has passed both houses,

The adjournment OF the Legislature and the exist
ence of the small pOx at Austin will doubt prevent
the meeting Of the Democratic State Convention at
that place.

We have dates from Galveston to the 10th inst.:-
A young lawyer named Jackson has been shot at
Woco by man named Statuswhite. 1t is thought
the wound will prove mortal.
At Anderson, Grymes county, Thomas Elngham
was killed by man named Williford
At Columbia man named D. G. Mitchell danger
ously stabbed Alexander Dickson.
The locomotive has been put in running opera
ton on the Harrisburg Railroad, and pleasure trip
from that town for a short distance has taken place.
The first scream Of the locomotive has been heard in
Texas.
The Southwestern american states that Hon. H.
p. Bee, OF Austin, has received letter from Col
f.. II. Jordan, dated Laredo, Jan. Is, saying that
news had been received that party OF Indians,
twenty in number, on Saturday, 22d inst, about
midday, arrived at San Ignacio, and killed, within
500 yards OF the rancho, two men left severely
wounded, and took off a youth about sixteen years
old. The moment the information came Lieut. Bur
Lesson started party after them; consequently hopes
entertained that the savages may still meet their
well merited chastsement.
The charter Of the Galveston and Houston Rail-
road Company became a law on the Sd inst.
The San Antonio Ledger says Last week com
pany Of the Rifles brought in some nineteen twenty
Indian prisoners, portion OF party they had pnr-
sued and captured after killing eight Of their mum.
Der. They also captured large number OF horses.
The Indians were Lipans.
The Lavaca Commercial says:-The annual cleo
ton for directors OF the Lavacca Navigation Compa-
ny was held on Monday the 10th instant, and re-
suited in the election OF Messrs II. NJ. Forbes u. X.
Fulton, Moses johnson, Jonas Randall and VIM. III.
Ker. On Monday, the 18th instant the new Board
OF Directors organized and elected DIR. Moses John
son President. The aacrity with which the new di.
rectors have gone to work, promises much for n
speedy completion Of the praiseworthy enterprise
before them. 600 Of the stock has been taken,
and the books closed by the directors to prevent the
remaining 81 900 being taken on speculation. Over
$4,000 of the amount subscribed has already been
paid in. Twenty-Five workmen are now in the en-
poyment OF the company, and Judging from their
rapid progress. but few weeks more will eapse
before vessels Of heavier draught than have hereto
fore crossed Gallinipper bar will be seen gliding
through the channel and ping our wharves with
company agent, for his untiring energy in prose-
cnting this work.
In regard to the Legislature, the Southwestern
American Of the 9Th instant, says;-Senator Potter

it passes through Virginia territory, and claims it's
franchise from the Virginia Legislature. It's western
termini are on Virginia soil. The blindness and i'm
policy Of the company, in furnishing ground for as
saut on these vast interests amount to an incredible
faulty. Apart from the absolute disregard OF moral
faith to its own written compact, the importance of
conciliating Virginia was of the highest moment. So
extensive line of railroad must perpetuay need Le
gislatve favors At this moment they wish to build
double track to Cumberland, and they need addi-
tional grants of power for that purpose They have
but slight hope of favor from a quarter outraged
by an open and shameless avowal that this applicant
for favor claims its foothod in their State by unaw-
ful agencies and mpositions. How is Baltimore to
get the three millions requisite to build this double
track even if she has a right of way for it? When
grave questions as to the validity of her charter,
based upon her own recorded admissions, are adj
vanced by hostile interests, spread over the whole
State of Virginia. what safety will the bonds of this
company offer as investment
We must conclude for the present with the remark,
that railroads. which all corporate bodies repre-
senting vastassocations Of capital should be govern
ed by no minor principles of action. They should be
managed and controlled by men who have sufficient
scope and expansion Of mind to embrace the remote
and hidden consequences Of every step.
This false move may prove fatal to the best cher.
ished hopes of Baltimore. 1t has brought in ques-
ton their title Deeds They may have built on other
peoples land. There is but one feeling in Richmond
relative to this matter and that is resoute purpose
Of exactng every forfeiture, and retaining all past
grants of privilege, which they now find in conflict
with the best interests of Virginia. The subject has
been referred to select committee, and we see they
have been empowered to send for persons and
papers.
The Supreme Court of Georgia has decided the
celebrated case Of the State of Georgia VS.. Bank Of
ST. Mary's in favor Of the bank. The court decided
that the law Of 1851 repealed all other laws and re-
mitted all penalties incurred; and the passage of the
law before judgment was obtained, barred the right
of action and that the nformer could have no vested
interest when the State had none.
The miners and citizens of Mineral Point, Illinois,
at recent meeting, unanimously resolved to sell
their mineral for no other currency than gold and
silver. This is no more OF less than an exchange Of
metal for metal.

The Cranes Of IbycuS,

Ibycus, famous lyrical poet Of
Greece. journcying to Corinth, was as.
saiIe;l by robbers. As he fell beneath
their mufderous strokes, he looked round
to see if any witness Or avenger was nigh.
No living thing was in sight but flight
Of cranes, soaring high over head. He
called on them, and to them committed
the avcnging Of his blood. A vain com.
mission, as it might have appeared, and
as no doubt it did appear to the murder.
ers. Yet it was not so; for soon after as
the robbers were sitting in the open thea.
ter, at Corin,h, they beheld this flight Of
cranes lowering over them, and one said
scoffingly to another, "Lc. there, the a.
vengers Of lbycus!" The words were
caught up by some one near them, for al.
ready the disappearance Of the poet had
awakened anxiety and alarm. Being
questioned, they betrayed themselves,
and was led to their doom. The cranes
Of lbycus passed into a proverb, very
much as our "murder will OUT" to ex.
press the wondrous leadings Of God,
whereby the most secret thing Of blood
is continually brought to light. A

Railroad from Chicago u Council )
,EnIt RlulS. 4 ETa

The American Railroad Journal con.
tains the following: ~
The rapid prominence which Chicago
assumes among the cities Of the West,
points it out as an appropriate starting
point for one Of the great lines Of railroad
to the Pacific. There can be no doubt
tha: private enterprise will be able 10
construct one or more roads from that.cl'
ty to the base Of the Rocky Mountains.
For this distance the face Of the country
offers no obstacles Of any moment, while
its fertility is creating settlements 1t
speed that promises to fill up the inter-
mediate country in very few years.
There are already several projects on foot
for the construction Of railroad TO
Council bluff on the Missouri, which is
looked upon as the first resting place al.
ter leaving Lake Michigan. One of,hcse
lines is to be made up the Mississippi
and Rock river Junction, and the Lyons
Central Iowa companies, both Of which
are actively engaged j" making the nee.
essary surveys, and ono, if not both, are
already under contract. The point Of
crossing the Mississippi is at Fulton,
and together, this makes nearly straight
line between their termin. 1t is the in.
ten,ion Of parties connected with these
roads to push them forward with the ut
most vigor, to their completion TO Coun.
Gil Bluff, nearly opposite the mouth OF
Platte river, which is the leading line
now followed by the emigration to Ore
son and California, and there can he no
doubt that road from Chicago to this
point would at once command the i'm.
mensc tide Of population moving west.
Nearly one half Of that portion Of the
State Of Iowa, traversed by this road is
already well settled. an the whole is FL.
ling up with rapidity that promises an
abundant traffic to railroads as soon as
one can be constructed. We wish these
enterprises that promise to promote.the

EVENING THOUGHTS.

The calamus shimmers near the brook,
Beneath the beechen gloom,
And, scattered on the marshy glade,
The flag flowers are in bloom.
The last few clusters strew the ground
Beneath the locust trees,
Where the fresh branching leaves come out
10 sweep the shadowy leas.
Far through the breezy forest round
The lowing herds hear:
The smell Of roses in our rooms,
With June's sweet self, is here.
sit alone, mid pleasant thoughts,
Where leaves are mumuring loud;
Some rest beneath the trailing vines,
That weave light green shroud.
And some return with warmth and life,
And gladness in their palms,
Singing the joyous melodies
That tune young childhoods psalms.
They sing of homes, and pleasantness.
That never shrink from frost,
And bark that cleaves the silver tide
When other ones were lost.
Sweet hope that stays the fainting soul,
Through all the mortal gloom;
Pure love that gilds the universe;
And fOwerSwihtn my room.
And now the stars come, one by one,
To gaze from out the skies,
And meath their twinkling innocence,
Iclosc my weary eyes.

A Curious Discovery.

A most curious and interesting discov.
cry has just been made at Langres,
France, which we have no doubt will
cause searching scientific enquiry as to-
the material and properties of the per-
pe,ual burning lamps said to have been
used by the ancients. ..
Workmen were cscently excavating
for foundation for new building, in a
debris evidently the remains of Gala.

THE BLIND GIRL,
Or Berthalde Reimer'S Voice.
[Conclusion.1

The singers were all gone save Mar.
gurc,; she, by the Masters request, had
remained behind, and to her he spoke,
as with Ber,ha!de he entered the choir.
"This is my little friend, Margaret, Of
whom told you. l give her into your
charge 10 teach her the way here; she
will not be long in learning it, and you
will take good care fher, know, until
she does"
And while he spoke Berthalde felt her
hand taken in another soft warm hand,
and few gentle words were whispered
into her ear. And then the two girls
stood together, hand in hand; and when
without another word the Master took
his seat before the organ, long low
note pealed through the church.
"Come here, Berthalde."
She came, guided by Margaret, and
stood beside him.
"Listen to what Margaret sings"
"In her clear sweet voice Margaret
sang simple exercise.
"Now,. my child"
Berthalde's first notes were low, feeble
and broken; for every nerve within her
trembled.
"Join with her Margaret And,
shielded by Margaret's firm strong tones,
Berthaldc's voice gained strength; her
fear began to pass away; strange, deep
ioy filled her heart; and her voice arose
more clear, more full, more rich with ev.
cry phrase mingling with the deep,
grand tones Of the swelling organ; and,
with it, awakening the cchos ofthe dark
old church.
The music died away under the Ka.
pell.meister's hand, and he turned TO
her.
"My child, you did we'll to speak to
TO me-" was all he said.
$ Margaret bending down whispered,
"Have courage, dear" and for moment
her lips rested on Berthalde's brow.
"Listen, Berthalde! do you know
thisw and the Master played again.
1t was the Agnus Del. She sang it a.
;lone; beginning with much fear, and in
an unsteady voice; yet as she grew abb
sorbed, again forgetting everything in the
intense delight Of singing, Of hearing her
own voice mingling with the deep music
of the organ, as hundreds Of times with
vague longing she had listened before to
other voices; and, imperfect as her self
taught singing was-the earnest fervor
with which she sang, and the purity and
sweetness Of her voice, made it really
beautiful.
When she had done and there was ut.
ter silence, her life seemed to hang upon
the next words the Kapell. l.meister would
speak. 1t seemed an age before he clos
ed the manuel Of the instrument, and
rose from his scat preparatory to depart.

on her shoulder, he said,
"Berthalde accept you as my pupil.
You were born to be singer."
"Master!" she said; and choking with
ioy fell down at his feet.
