Railroad Lettings.

We leaIn that within the last few days, o
number Of contracts on the s. & v, X. r.,
within Perry and Hooking counties, have
been awarded to contractors.
Messfs. Sands and Gallagher, havethe con-
tract, including the summit, five miles be-
yond Logan; and Mr.. Fench, formerly Of N.
York, but now citizen OF this place, has five
miles Of the road, adjoining Mr.. Bittoe's con-
tract on the North.
The tunnel through the summit, in Jackson
township, in this county, has not yet been
awarded, but we presume will be in short
time. 1t has been ascertained, that in ma
king this tunnel it will perforate through a
vein of superior quality Of bituminous coal,
some 6 feet in depth. The stratum lies
nearly at "ground right" and will NO doubt
be great saving of labor and expense in ma
king the tunnel.
The work on this great thoroughfare is be-
ginning 10 assume shape every day, and it
will not be long before the whole road from
jackson 10 Newark will be in the hands OF
contractors and the work progressing. II
cannot continue much longer to be asserted
that this road "will never be built"
The road from Newark TO This place, we
are told will be completed by the first Of De-
cember. This would seem by many TO be a
short time to complete railway OF that dis
tance; but when we consider that the road
between these points is Of very easy con-
struction, and in the hands Of energetic con-
tractors, we need have no fears that this can
not be done. Energy and resolution can ac-
compish almost anything, aud these will be
exerted TO the utmost for the completion Of
the road. Somerset Post,

Gen. Jackson's "reminiscences Of the
Battle of NewOrIeans.

Philo Jackson" writes to the Savannah
Journal, an interesting account Of o visit to
Gen. jackson, at the Hermitage, in 1889,
from which we extract the following: III
longed TO hear him speak Of his great
battle, and one Of the greatest battles too Of
modern history, the crowning exploit OF his
military life, the battle of The 9Th Of Janua
ry, before New Orleans. He had just return
ed from his last visit 10 that city, and lament
ed the decease Of most OF his old compatri-
OTIS since that battle. All the officers except
Col. Tiebault, he observed, were dead. He
then graphicly described the field, the fortif-
cations as he laughingly called them, and
the victory in manner shall never forget.
/" Mr.. Eaton," (said General Jackson,) has
greatly erred in his description OF the Amer
lean Works. He say s that / had strong
breastwork Of cotton bags There was not
a bag of cotton on the field, sir!! l had
some store-boxes and sand-bags, or bags fill
led with sand, and these were extended along
the lines but they were SO low, that at the
close Of the action, when the British survi-
wing general, in command, came riding up
on an elegant horse TO surrender his sword,
when he got near me, heard him exclaim,
with mortifying surprise, barricades by
Cd, l could leap them with my horse "
l laughed heartily at his astonishment, for SO
he could, and besides, on one wing the works
were not completed | had nothing there
but corn field fence !! if the British had
only known to turn it. But by keeping my
men constantly throwing over facines and
ladders on the works, the British were effect
ually deceived. But, Continued Gen. J.,)
| never had SO grand and awful an idea of
the Resurrection as on that day. After the
smoke had cleared off somewhat, (our men
were in hot pursuit Of the flying enemy,)
then saw, in the distance, more than five
hundred Britons emerging from heaps of
their dead comrades, all over the plain ri
sing up, and more distinctly visible, as the
field became clearer, coming forward and
surendering as prisoners of war 10 our SOL
dieB. They had fallen at our first fire on
them, without having received a scratch, and
lay PROSTATE, as if dead, till the close Of the
action General Jackson regarded this ac-
tion, justly, as the most glorious achievement:
| IN his life. That victory was as glorious 10
his country as to the hero Of New 0rleans--
yet the strategy Of the General, in this mas
terly battle, has never been duly appreciated
in any history of it have read.

Bliss and Allen.

The Ohio State Journal runs the following
paiallel between the Democratic and Wing
candidates for Lieutenant-Governor Of Ohio:
"They were both Knox county boys born
and educated in that county and were both
of good Whig families. Both studied med
icine, and lef. it for the law. Both entered
the Office of Henry B. Curtis, ESQ.,, Of Mt.
Vernon, sbout the same time, pursued the
study Of the law together, and were both ex-
amined by the same committee, and admit
ted to tue Bar by the Supreme Court, at the
same term. The former was for several years
the partner of his preceptor, and the latter
married to his neice. One is Wing and the
other Democrat-but both very clevsr fel-
lows--and now both candidates for the same
distinguished Office"

Washington Facts and Fancies.

II is said that the letters of recommends
tion produced iby the office-seekers would
make any one almost die laughing who knew
the men, and il is surprising from what dis
tinguished and respectable individuals many
Of these letters come. The results, that let
tiers are hardly worth cent TO really good
men. Gen. Cass has not recommended any
one for Office, and avoids all responsibility, or
whatever might trammel his future course.
Mr.. Vesey, who got the Consulate at Ha-
vre, worth Be, 900 per year, is indebted for it
to the kind attachment Of Mrs. Dix, Of New
York. 1t appears that when in Europe, Mr..
Vesey paid kind attention to daughter Of
Gen. Dix, who had met with an accident
Mrs. Dix never forgot it. She procured him,
from President Polk. the Consulship at Ant
werp, and got 1t continued TO him under
Presidents Taylor and Fillmore, and now she
has been mainly instrumental in obtaining
for him better Consulship.

TANNED GEhATINE.-A maunfactory has
been established in Paris for the construc-
ton of variety of ornamental articles
with this substance. The gelatine is usu-
ally obtained from bones by treating them
with solution Of muratic acid, and is af-
terward tanned by the common process,
as in making leather. Upon becoming
hard and dry, it assumes the appearance
of horn or tortoise shell, and is employed
for the same purposes as those natural
productions. It's softehed by being boil
ed in water with potash, when it may be
formed into any shape, and the figure pre-
served by drying the articles between
moulds. In the soft state, it may also be
inlaid with gold. silver, or other metals,
and, it may be streaked with various col
ofed materials, so as to resemble the f.
nest and ostbeautiful woods. It is prob
able that this substance will soon be
brought very extensively into use, on ac-
count of its elegance and cheapness.
