counts from Col. Frcmont's party to
Oct. Goth have been received by the
st. Louis Democrat. The party was
then encamped at the Saline Fork Of
the Kanzas river, and had been there
some three weeks, anxiously waiting
the arrival of Col, Fremont, who left
Independence on the Odd of October.
The party was very anxious to get
along, particularly the Indians, who
predicted a very severe winter, with
much =" falling weather. Mr. Egg
lofsten, the typographical engineer of
the party, has carefully surveyed the
whole country around the camp, and
pronounces the soil rich, the country
we'll watercd and timbered, and the
whole region admirably adapted to
settlement and cultivation.

Railroad Company, surveying route
from Bridgewater, through Taunton
to Bristol, r. l., where it is proposed
to establish a line of steamboats, to
New York. This will make popular
route to New York, several miles
shorter than by way of Fall River,
and besides it will afford great fahci-
ties of transportation to the manufac'
turers in Bridgewater, who receive
many of their goods from Taunton,

GOVERNMENT JOHN the letter
OF our Washington correspondent, re-
lativc to the tax upon knowledge i'm.
posed by law, and aggravated by the
ouerous and unfair rule of appraise-
mcnt adopted at the custom House,
it is stated that the books purchased
in Europe for the Library of Congress,
pursuant to the appropriation of S75,-
600 made for that purpose, cost four
aid half dollars a volume. At this
rate the whole number Of volumes
purchased will be less than sixteen
thousand seven hundred. About the
same time, DR.. Cogswell bought in
Europe, for the Astor, Library, sixty
thousand volumes, for which he paid
$63, 900, or one dollar and five cents
a volume. The collection of Dir.
Cogswell is pronounced by Librarians
to be unsurpassed by any other Of its
size in the world, for variety, compre-
hensiveness, choice of editions, and
perfection of volumes. And yet its
cost, per volume, compared with that
of the Congress Library, is considera-
bly, less than one-fourth. This beats
the jobbing of New York Aldermen.

He5~ We understand that the Rut-
land and Burlington Il. r., under the
pressure Of temporary cmbarassments,
has passed into the hands of the Second
Mortgage Bond holders. The company,
will offer at auction, at Boston, on
the Both inst, $lS0,000 Of their Sc
cond mortgage bonds. The earnings
of the road for the year ending last
May, were ample to pay the entire in
tercst Of both mortgages, and leaves a
balance Of $56, 800, and the gross
earnings Of this year are stated by the
Treasurer to be 80 per cent, increase
over last.
In relation to the above, the Bur
lington Free Press ofTuesday says:-
The assignment made on Saturday
by this road, to the Trustees of the
first mortgage bonds, is, we suppose,
nothing which need give rise to espc-
cial alarm. The tightncss in the mon

floating debt rendered the step ncccs-

E At the last accounts, the Chi
ncsc Revolution was steadily progressing
aud there seems to be every prospect of
its ultimate success. \ political whirl
wind seems to be sweeping over the
world and a new life is impaired by its
electric influence to the drugged and
stupid blood Of Barbarism, which throws
aside the play things of its prolonged
childhood, and rushes forth to become a
champion for the cause of Liberty and
the new light of Il new era, and to take
its place with civilized nations. 1t is
time China had awakened from her sleep
of thousand years, during which, while
stormy scenes have agitatcdthe rest
of the world and History teens with
the record Of mighty actions performed
elsewhere, her untold millions have lived
and died like herds of cattle. and left
the world no better for their having liv-
cd. If now the way is fairly open for
civilization, and its blessings can be Sc
cured by that crowd of waking Barbara
ans, just rousing from their slumber OF
ages, and the outrageous evil attendants
of civilization can be kept from them, it
will be a magnificent thing to hail 800
100000 of new men as they come into
the eager field of effort and enterpiis
and start for the great prizes, Liberty,
Intelligence. and the True Religion
which are in reserve for the struggling
Nation.
