Tho PAc1rIc RanRoap Bur has been un
dergoing discussion in the Senate of the United
States, but with little prospect of decisive ac.
ton upon II This session. The Republic saws.
III relation to il, Senator Mason confesses that
the Democratic party Is in peril. Senators
Own and Rusk have aimed terribly sad blows
at It's vitality; and nothing can save it but the
death Of the bill. Mr.. Mason is in favor of Wig
orous action on the part of the Government TO
promote the construction Of the Tehuante pee
route; bun his Virginian version Of the Demo-
cratic faith tells him that the only practicable
plans of constructing a road 10 California
through cur own territory are unconstitutional,
and will be the death ftbe Democratic Party,
If II attempt to carry them into effect. We do
not profess to discern the full force of the dis
tncton, but Mr. Mason no doubt does, and
hence his note of warning to the Senate on Fri.
day last. Discussing the merits Of the railway,
he said
Mr.. Presilent,if this bill become law, the
fear which the Senator from Texas expressed
few days ago--that it mighthave the effect of
mover be realized: if this bill become law
there will be no longer parties in this country,
except the party in power and the party in OPP
position. The whole character Of the Govern.
ment viii be changed. Yes, sir, the whole
character of tits Government will be changed
never to be reclaimed; and it will have been
done by gold, and worse than all, by gold out
of the public treasury Sir there will be no
Democratic party then. Least of all will there
be that party To which the honorable Senator |
know belongs, and TO which | belong-the
Republican party-the party under whose
banner you appeal from the people to the
Constitution. The Constitution will be gone.
There will be no appeal to that, and the Gov
eminent viii be one Of unlimited power.
Besides killing the party, Pacific railroad
would sadly Inconvenience the President elect
whose "strict construction recommended him
to The favor Of the Southern States. Mr. Soulc
hints that If the bill became a law, Genl
Pierce's scruples might render it null and
void and Mr.. Bayard more than insinnates
that at another ses sion Presidential veto
might operate dvantageously TO the friends
ofthe road. The insinuaton arose out of an
aIIuson to the odd Hickory stock" ofthe new
President; Mr. Gwin, who made it, seeming
ly forgetting that General Pierce long ago
proved himself more uniform than Gen. Jack
son IN his hostility TO measures In their nature
identical with that for which Democratic Cal

The enterprise To which We invited the con-
sideration of our citizens few days ago is for
chilly urged by the facts presented in the sub
joined note from one of our most intelligent cit
liens. Lynchburg, lying at the junction Of
the James river canal and the Virginia and
Tennessee rairoad-two improvements pene-
trating the great iron districts of the State
seems to us an exceedingly favorable point for
the manufacture Of that article into any of the
multiform shapes for which ii is now demanded
Within few wears several large establish
ments of that character have been founded
lere.each ofwhich has done and is doing prof
table business. Our citizens have capital, and
enterprise, and the time is propitous. The sug-
gestlons of "a. b. "are at least worth reflection,
Mn EDToR-ln recent number of your
paper you Gull the attention Of your readers
generally but especially the citizens of Lynch
burg, to the importance Of manufacturing Rail
road iron in that city. | concur entirely IN
tho views you entertain. and in aid Of the en-
terprise You recommend, ask the use oi your
columns, 10 present some facts, that. 10 my
mind, seem to have a direct bearing upon the
subject.
There are now in contemplation aud in pro.
gress of construction twenty one thousand
miles of Railway, exclusive of the Pacific road,
which will as certainly be made in the next
five to ten years, as that our Virginia 81 Ten
nessee line will be completed in that time. OF
this. fifteen thousand miles are in our own
country; one thousand in Canada, and five
thousand in Europe. 1t is safe to estimate
that about one fourth Of this will be double
track which makes total oftwenty five thous
and miles ofraroad TO be built IN the next three
TO FIVE years. At one hundred tons To the
mile, it will require two millions FIVE hundred
thousand tons of rails, 10 lay the track. Tn,
largest amount Of rail road iron ever made il
one year has not reached FIVE hundred thou
sand tons. Thus ii would seem that it woul,
tax the present power Of production 10 rs III
most.capacity, to make the rails, provided fv
years be occupied in building the roads nov
projected, to say nothing Of the vast pumbe
ofnew roads, that will be begotten by thos
now in progress. This simple statement
shows conclusiyely the soundness of you
views. and hope will commend the entcrpris
you suggest to the favourable considerations {

Jefferson City Correspondence.


Mn. EDITon-I am enabled to announce
to you the full and complete organization Of
the House of Representatives for the 18th
General Assembly. The following is list
of the officers: Reuben Shelby, Speaker;
G. w. Houston, Chief Clerk; Lowe, As
sistant Clerk; Lyle Singleton, Enrolling
Clerk; 6. G. Watkins, Engrossing Clerk;
r. b. Jackson, Door-Kceper, and Mr..
Scott, Sorg' Arms-all Democrats, altho'
the democracy, and in fact the people of the
State, are indebted to the Wings for the Of
ganization of the House now, as well as at
the late extra session; yet the democracy Of
the Legislature were not generous enough,
and had not magnanimity of soul sufficiently
large to give &c the Wings a single Office.
They even beat that old and tried, faithful
and efficient public officer, H. H. Baber, for
the office of Engrossing Clerk, notwith-
standing they would all admit that Mr.. Ba-
Der was amply qualified in every respect,
and also that the Wings deserved all
praise for organizing, yet when they come
TO voting, they must vote for Democrat.
They ought to have recollected that there
are a great many bank officers to elect, and
no doubt the Wings will be disposed not TO
favor either faction, when they find they do
not appear to be willing TO reciprocate.
understand that there will be a multi
plicity Of candidates for all the various Of
fees Of Bank Presidents and Directors
and It is currently rumored that the old tried
war horse of democracy in Howard, DR.. ].
J. Lowry, will have opposition for the
Presidency of the Bank at Fayette, from a
young branch of his tree of democracy
Will not that raise serious fuss in the fam
lily? predict it will.
l think from all the signs of the times
here that there is about TO be two branches
Of the Benton Democracy-one that stands
upon the Jefferson City Platform, which is
willing to let the jackson resolutions remain
in statu quo--and the other determined that
they shall be resurrected and repealed, if
possible. If such should be the case, it
will tend to strengthen the Antics.
The Message Of Gov. King was read to
the House to-day. 1t is an able, lucid and
lengthy document-statesman in its
views-and presents a gratifying result Of
tie financial and commercial condition of
the State.
The House adjourned to-day, until 10
o'clock Monday morning, when the new
Governor will be inaugurated, and all the
new officers enter upon the discharge o!
their respective {lnties--and the holydays
being over, you may expect something in
the way of general laws. Since the rail-
road matters have boon disposed of, nothing
but local measures have been acted on, con-
sequently, l have had nothing which would
be interesting to your readers; and, indeed,
this, no doubt, will appear lean and barren,
but concluded l would write, if for no
other reason but to let you know there was
nothing to write. Yours, W.

Since they have opened the REcrIFYING EsrAB-

been compelled TO put up another set of Rectfyers

The generality of whisky from dstilleries con-
tain large quantities of Verdgris, Alkalies and
other substances decidedly injurious; and accord
ing to the usual mode of rectifying, much of this
remains, together with the almost invariable use Of
"drugs'' TO give "proof," which are known to be
poisonous by all who have any acquaintance with
the process.

we are determined to supply to Wholesale dealers
