Colonel Wtlliam Pre.ton.

We concur in the spirit of the following re
marks, extracted from a recent letter written
in this city and addressed to the Louisville
Courier. The gentleman referred to, during
the short period that he has had seat in the
House of Representatives, has acquired very
favorable reputation for talents Of fine order
as well as for pleasing and dignifed deport-
ment:
ssIt is understood here that Col Preston desires
to represent his district louisville, kentucky in
the next Congress, and it would seem that it is no.
thing but just that his constituents should reelect
him. He is now only filling out the unexpired
term of the Hon. H. Marshall, and this being the
short session, when every thing is in confusion
consequent upon the change of administration, he
has not had an opportunity of taking part in the
discussions which are agitated in Congress during
the long session; but no member of this session of
Congress has evinced more capacity for business
than Colonel Preston, or eloquencet to enforce
their opinions

from California TO Missouri in 1882. and returned
1898, with wagons, and that be found the country
quite level and beautiful. Mr.. Walker, a cele-
brated Rocky Mountain hunter, came from Cali
forna as am informed, on this line last year, and
considers it practicable for railway. The soil on
this route ID unquestionably far superior to that
on the line via the South Pass. The country west
of the Mississippi is known to be fertile until you
come to the high lands of New Mexico. The val
ley of the Colorado is beIiev ed to be equal to any
in the Union; and we perfectly that the
valley of the San Joaquin is extensive region of
great fertility. There are probably not more than
three hundred miles of sterile land on the whole
| route. There are extensive coal fields in Western
Arkansas and the Indian territory this route, and
1t Is believed to be better supplied with wood than
thatthrough the South Pass. The climate mild and
exempt from snow, that would delay the progress of
the work, or obstruct the business of the road The
distances on this line are: From ST. Louis to the
point where the Canadian river crosses the goth de-
gree OF longitude, proposed point of junction with
| the line from Vicksburg, 342 miles. From Vicks-
burg to the same point, 280 miles From that point
to Walkers Pass, in the Sierra Navada via Alba
querque, l,100 miles. From Walkers Pass
| through the valley of the San Joaquin to Pechacos
Pass in the coast range of mountains. 200 miles.
Thence to San Francisco, 100 miles,. Total, 2,042
miles. These all right lines, except that from
Pechacos Pass to San Francisco, that have esti-
mated. This shows difference in favor of this
route of $50 miles, including the branch to yicks-
burg. If we make allowance of $50 miles for
deviations from right lines in the location of the
road on this route, shall have distance or saw
ing of 400 miles in it's favor. When we add to this
the important consideration of mild climate, fer
tile soil, supply Of coal for fuel. and that all por-
lions of the Union will be equally benefited, there
would seem to be ground for hesitation respect
ing the choice which ought to be made OF route
for this great national work
The fourth line, by way of Ell Paso and the ella,
is known to be practicable; but it passes large
portion of the distance through Mexican territory
| and over vast extent of sterile country. If the
line above described on the 35th parallel of
latitude, shall be found to be impracticable, We
| maysbe forced to adopt the line of the CHA
am, with great respect and esteem, very truly,
yours, T. BUTLER KING.

WASHI NGTON:
TUESDAY MORNING. FEBRUARY s. 1856.

Congress.
In the Senate yesterday the bill granting
further remedies to patentees was ordered to .
third reading. The joint resolution affirming
the Monroe doctrine was further debated By
Messrs. CLEMENS, CAss, MALLORY and HALE.
In the House Of Representatives Mr..
TooMBs made an Intellectual motion to suspend
the rules to enable him to introduce resolu.
ton instructing the Committee on Commerce
to inquire into the expediency Of repeating the
navigation laws Of the United States to the
extent Of throwing open the coasting trade to the
free competition of all nations. The'vote was
yeas SO, nays 70, not two-thirds. Several
private bills were passed; and a resolution was
adopted providing for an evening session, on
and after to-day, for the reception of reports
from the several standing committees.

South Carolina oupht to be proud Of her emf

South Carolina ought to be proud Of her eni-
nent son.
The yeas and nays being ordered on Mr..
ORR's motion, Mr.. ORR soithdresc It. He had
grace enough left to become ashamed Of it, and
recoiled from the sound Of his own voice. Mr..
LErcHER, Of Virginia, renewed the motion.
and it was again pressed to the yeas and nays,
with the following result: yeas 70, mays 80.
The majority were becoming weaker and
weaker, worn out BY these irregular, disorgan-
izing, and demoralizing movements of the mi
nority.
A few minutes after this result was declared
Mr.. RoBBINs. of Pennsylvania, another Demo-
Ecrat, uho IN the sac precious calls for the yeas
and mays is not to be found recorded, and who
had probably just come into the House burn
ing with an opportunity to distinguish himself
in the way he best knows how-rose in his
seat and calculated, with the true enthusiasm Of
genius, 81 move that the House do now ad
journ."
And the House, wearied, worn, and dis
gusted with this child's play and tom-foolery,
consented to adjourn.
Now we call upon the people to rem mber
that all these men call themselves DEMOCRATS,
and that they are in House where they stand
ONE HUNDRED AND FORTY in number agains,
EIGHTY-EIGHr Wines. Here is majority Of
FITTY-Two. And these men will not trust this
immense Democratic majority with a fair vote
on an important public measure like this bill Of
Mr.. DoTY. Yes, they all call themselves
Democrats, these movers of adjournments, fol
the purpose of wasting the public time, squan-
dering the public money, and defeating the
public business. Let US recapitulate, that we
may be sure. There are no less than five Of
them

FAYErrE McMuLLEN, of Virginia.
JAMES L. ORR, of South Carolina.
JOHN LETcHER, of Virginia.
JOHN ROBBINS, IT,, Of Pennsylvania.
Every one of these gentlemen holds himself
out to the country as DEMOCRAT, and they
all refuse to suffer DEMOCRATIC majority Of
FIFTY-Two to transact the public business We
are rejoiced that no WING took part in this
disorganizing and disgraceful business. 1t is
much to the honor Of the WHIG members that
Notwithstanding the overwhelming DEMO
CRATIC majority in the House, whose measures
they might retard or defeat by such operations
as we have been commenting upon. but at the
expense Of important public business, they have
never resorted to these irregular and dishonora-
BILE means, even to embarrass the most exclu-
siyely party measures. They permit the ma
jority to exercise without embarrassments their
legitimate legislative functions, and this we
not, we should like to hear some sensible rea-
sons to the contrary-some more sensible rea-
sons than calls of the House and motions to
adjourn.
