Connection between baltimore and New
York.-It is stated that workmen are now en-.
gagged in re-laying the rails along Prime street,
Philadelphia from the Delaware TO Broad street, so
as TO connect the travel between Baltimore and
New York. AT the foot of Prime street, on the
Delaware, preparations are now in progress for
the erection OF railroad depot to accommodate
these new arrangements. Between this point and
Camden large and powerful steam ferry boat
will ply, by means of which, il is expected that
freight cars may be transported from the Jersy TO
the Philadelphia road without necessity for the
break Of bulk. This will enable the whole chain
OF railways from New York through Philadelphia
and Baltimore TO Wheeling 10 be worked as one
through line to the wcsi.--Bah. Snn.

goard OF Public Works.

Having advertised the letting OF fifty miles OF
The Covington and Ohio Railroad on the Eastern
and twenty-five miles on the Western division Of
.the work, the Board of public works convened at
Covingtou on the 18th to receive the bids. 1t
was supposed the Board would decide between
the rival routes, the Grcenbrier and tho Monroe,
before letting the Contracts. The Report Of the
Engineer however was not ready; and the ques-
ton Of ron,e was postponed until the 18th cfJan-
uary. Finding that the route could not at once
Do determined, the Board required each bidder
bidding for work to bid on both routes. On Sat
prday wo understand tho work was declared to
about twenty responsible Contractors, to DO exc
euted on the route which may DO selected BY the
Board. We are informed that there was large
gathering of very intelligent and efficient Con
tractors at Covingtop and that the general opinion
am,ngs. thom was that the Greenbrier is the
preferable route. We trust it may be select
ed. Tho grade is fifteen feet less in the mile ant
,he Summit limo OF tao road on the Allegheny is
from three 10 fur bundred feet lower on the Green
brisr than 90 the Monroe route.

Printer to the Senate.

| Letters from Washington represent that the
Hardshells, or National Democrats, have been
very Jolly over their success in the election OF Mr.
Tucker, proprietor Of the Sentinel, as Printer to
the Senate The vote on the occasion was by
ballot, but it has leaked out that the following
Democratic Senators voted for TUCKER: VEL
LER of California, BRIGHT of Indiana, Evans Of
South Carolina, ArcHTsoN of Missouri, BRoD-
HEAD of Pennsylvania, JAMES of Rhode Island,
WRIGHr of New Jersey and HUNTER and Ma
son of Virginia. The Wing Senators, with two
exceptions Mr.. BELL. of Tennessee, voted for
ARMSTRONG. and Mr. JONES, of the same State,
for GALES s. SEAroN], also voted for Tucker,
and thus gave him majority of nine over his
Democratic opponent This result is thought by
some to signify that the recent New York APP
continents will be rejected. However that
may be, the peculiar friends Of the Administration
are considerably annoyed by it. Mr.. DoDeE of
Iowa, was so indignant that he arose on the spot
and remarked that it was anything but compli-
raentary to the democratic organization, and NOV
ed that the voting should hencefor;h be pva roce.
The Union attributes the result to hostility to the
Administration, but the Star undertakes to explain
il away, by ascrbing other motives to Senators
voting for Mr.. Tucker.
The Union charges thatthe printing of the
Senate was given to the Sentinel by combina-
ton of iactious Democrats, Wings, and abolition
lists. This opens afresh the strife between those
two leading organs of the Democracy, The Sen
tincl reorts with much spirit-a pretty thing tru-
ly for the Union to accuse other people of Goa
liton with abolitionists, when IL has been sedu-
lousy counting the Buffalo platform men of l64S.
The Sentinel asks fSenatorsArcHIsoN, BRIGHT,
| Hunter, Mason and the others who voted for
| Mr.. TucKER, are factious democrats, and says
very naively that it will not be guilty of the out
rage of charging those Senators with being fac
tious Democrats who voted for General ARM

"'Phc Wagoner."

We publish under the poetical head, on our first
page, a piece called 1.-THE Wagner, originally
published some twenty years ago. Its author,
ST. LEGER l.. CARTER, was member of the Vir-
ginia Senate, and the subject was suggested to his
mind in the streets ofRichmond by the happy and
independent bearing of i Wagner from Augusta,
who is still living. The piece will be new to ma
ny OF our readers, and those to whom it was for
mery familiar will doubtless enjoy a re-perusal
The class of men of whom our Wagner is a
favorable specimen, will soon be extinct, Railroads
having superseded the old method of conveying
produce to market.

Reformation Of MIR. Amber.

The Winchester Virginian of the l4th instant
publishes letter from Mr. FAULKNER on the sub
ject of the resignation of MIR. AMBLER. Mr..
FAuLKsER has made inquiry Che does not say OF
whom) in reference to the circumstances OF the
case, aud pronounces the statement OF "Potomac"
''a sheer fabrication" He says that the resIgna-
ton was, so far as the President knows, wholly
voluntary and unsolicited, and that "Mr. AMBER
was distinctly informed at the time, that some
person other than himself would, after oonven-
lent pause, be solicited to fill the place" The
Washington Union of the 9Th, also says, on the
authority of friend Of Mr.. MASON (Mr. AM
BLER's father-in-law,) who has conversed with
him on the subject, that "the statement alluded
to is sheer fabrication"
This is the ''authoritative denial'' to which we
referred last week, aud consequently we withdraw
the qualified belief of the story which we have
heretofore expressed. The parties who originated
it and induced portion of the public to believe
that il was substantially true, have said nothing
further upon the subject but some explanation
from them is necessary to relieve themselves o
the serious imputation Of fabricating ialsehood

Assistant secretary Of the Treasury.

When Congress adjourned on Thursday last,
the bill providing for the appointment Of the AS
sistant Secretary of the Treasury by the President
with the consent of the Senate, instead Of by the
Secretary of the Treasury, was under considera
ton in the House of Representatives This is
understood to be movement of the National De-
mocrats to get rid of Mr.. PETER e. WASHING
TON, the present incumbent and right hand man
of Secretary GUTHRIE; or. in other words, it is
an indirect blow at the Secretary himself The
| bill passed the Senate by an almost unanimous
vote. and the proceedings in the House indicate
the formation of strong anti Administration par
| ty in that body also.
The debate in the House on this question was
quite spicy. Mr.. Ewing, Wing member from
Kentucky, particularly distinguished himself by a
humorous defence of Secretary GUTHRIE. His
State pride was aroused, and he called upon ''the
organization of the Democracy of the House to re-
sist this proposition to deprive Kentucky (neXt
of kin to Old Virginia. Secretary of the Treasury
of the power which justly belonged to him, and TO
transfer it into the hands Of refractory, audac-
Gus Senate who had dared to elect their own pub
lie printer"
| Mr.. WENTWORTH, of Illinois, proclaimed that
the issue was between the friends and opponents
of the Administration, and the sooner members
showed their hands the better. He, however.
took occasion to give the Speaker rap in regard
to the constitution of the committees, for which
the Star takes him to task. That paper says, al
so, that Messrs STANTON, of Tennessee, Disney,
of OHIO, and BAYLY, of Virginia, are neither OF
them exceedingly in love with the Administration,
and it should be understood that they are fighting
on their own hook The Star is evidently alarm
ed. When the subject shall be resumed, it says,
the friends of the Administration will have deter
mined what course to take in the premises.

Amendments to tho Constitution.

A resolution was introduced in the House OF
representatives ON Monday week, to provide for
the election of United States Senators by the peo-
pie and on the same day notice was given of
proposition for amending the Constitution so as to
provide for the election of President by direct
popular vote The latter amendment was pro-
posed by Senator Benton in 1924, and opposed by
Rufus King. of New York, on the ground OF its
centralizing influence. The National lntelIlgen-
Ger scenes to be- rather favorable to the change.

as interfering with the exercise of the popular WILL
