THE ROYAL FAMILY OF RussIA.-The
following amiable family picture may be
interesting at this time, when Russia is
lhrusling her ursine nose into the politics
Of Europe:
Peter 1.-the founder, as he may be
called Of the present imperial family
was the murderer of the two daughters
and son of his brother Ivan, and the mur.
deFer Git is asserted according TO more
than one of the analisls of his reign by
his own hand, of his son Alexis fle was
himself murdered by MenzikolI, Ca name
that has again risen up in history the Ia
VorIte Of his wife Katharine, and who,
when united to Peter, was already the
wife Of living husband, and their ohil.
dren declared afterwards incapable of
reigning because born in sin. Anne, the
eldest daughter of Ivan, put $4,000 Rus.
SLAMS TO death, and banished twice as ma.
ny. A revolution displaced the younger
Ivan TO put on the throne Elizabeth,
daughter of Peter l.. and her reign was
remarkable for her drunkenness and de.
bauehery. Peter I'LL, her successor, was
nolorously the offspring Of crime, and
was dethroned and sIrangled BY his wife,
Catharine IL, the same Infamous woman
who had assasslnnaled and delhroned
Emperor Ivan, and whose own son, Paul
1.-The father ofthe present Emperor Mich,
olas'-was strangled by his own courliers.

Rail ROads---sOmething Wrong.

For some time there has been rumors
afoat, to the effect that that part of the
Cincinnati, Hillsborough and Parkers-
burg Railroad, from Hillsborough to the
above latter named place, had been, or
would be abandoned. If this is the case,
why is it that something official has not
been received in this quarter? If there
is any truth in this rumor, why is it that
all the Contractors in this neighborhood
are driving on their work TO completion ?
For our part, we cannot conceive why all
this secrecy, why all thissly, underhanded
attempt at bargaining with such enemies
as the Marietta Railroad Company-men,
who have wilfully and maliciOusly, both
individually and collectively, opposed,
the interests Of the G. II. q p, Railroad,
also the interests of this and other sec.
tons ofcodntry along the line-men who
have taken into. their employ the petty
Press of Chillicothe and Marietta,
as paid hirelings, to help them in their
efforts to blast the prospects of our road.
Friends Of the Hillsborough and Par
kersburg extension, what are you about ?
VIII you suffer this? Will you, after
> long and fair struggle, and winning the
battle, against odds, permit those hard
earned laurels to be snatched from your
brows? We hope Motive have been

We have fought with you and for you,
and your interests, are our welfare. Let
US guard our interests against that worst
of enemies. Let us put the mighty
shoulder TO the wheel and Tnsh on the

Of the citizens of Lawrence county, Ohio.
met our worthy President of the Board
Of Public Works atthe Union Hotel last
Tuesday morning, to confer with him on
the subject Of the recently projected Co.

They evinced their entire confidence
in the practiblity, and an inaexibe reso.
luton to take hold Of this work, and Sc.
cure its completion as quick as possible.
DR.. GRAHAM was much pleased with
their propositions and assured them that
Virginia would give them all the encour.
agements she could--and at least, meet
them al the middle of the Ohio river with
Railroad bridge.
He minated that the Ohioans 90 a

be begun and completed before Virginia
is quite ready to meet them, but assured
them that ifthe Legislature would give
sufficient amount Of money the Board

completion. On parting with them, he
expressed the hope that Virginia and Ohio
would soon shake hands at, or near

is truth in this sentence. he has lately a.

Questions ana answer.


In your last paper, Messrs. Editors,
you make sundry inquiries, to.wlicA, YOU
wish to get answers from Portsmouth. In
fact, / think if you had stopped little to
consider, you never would have asked the
questions.
You want to know "who made this IS.
&Hy.) Rail Road. 1t was made or
built with the money of the Stockhold
ers.
"Forwhose benefit was the Road made?"
In the first place, for the benefit Of the
country through which it passes; and in
the next place for the benefit of the stock
holders-that they might get their money
back.
"Who has the whole charge of the
Road?"
The road in the charge of the Direc-
tors, where the charter places it. And
the Directors are elected annually, Mr..
Editor. And permit me to say that it
would be somewhat odd to see road
managed in any other way.
"Why is it that the rates Of freight
from Portsmouth to jackson are higher
than from Jackson to Portsmouth ?"
This would be an important and very
pertinent question, but it happens not to
|be true. If you will be good enough to
refer to the tarifof freights as published
over the signature of the Superintendent,
you will find there is no such inequality.
And allow me to say, it is always bet
ter to refer to the evidence in such
cases, where it exists, than to build up
on the assertion--the mere ipso dirit of
any and every body that may choose to
talk.
care there anYJackson people holding
berths upon the road or cars?"
Allow me to answer this last question
in the Yankee way. Have you any good
engine-men in Jackson-any person ex-
perienced in any department of Rail-
roading? Because if you have, they
can find employment. Could you real
ly and seriously suppose, Mr. Editor,
that an experienced and skilful Engine
man was to be discharged from his To-
comotive, or a faithful conductor or
breakman from his train, as soon as the
road was completed to Jackson, in order
that a pro-ratio distribution of places
should be made between Portsmouth and
jackson?
Now | think | have answered all your
questions-have given the true answers
in every case. And Messrs. Editors,
there is not much of mares nest af-
ter all, if you did find it.
In regard to the rates Of freight
Are they too high? Taken as a whole
they are not high--the charges onthis
road, are, if anything, lower than the
average of western roads, while the road
is very expensive one, and one that
must be kept up at greater expense
for repairs and motive power, than any
road in Ohio. Passengers are carried
over this Road, forty flour miles, for one
dollar. Is there any Road in Ohio car
rying as low? There is not, unless it be
some link in great route or thorough
fare, where the passenger is the prin-
ciple business.
The freight on pig-iron is probably
higher considering that it is the article
above all others, from which the reve-
nues of the Road are derived. And |
have yet to hear the first furnace man
grumble.
No, Messrs. Editors, our citizens have
not been misuscd as can see. If they
have, pray tell us in what particular,
and then "matterS toiH be better uade.
