in the Rhine when young, the bays of the
Mediterranean may once more be stocked
with fish.
Successful experiments, by means of
ponds of salt water, have been made upon
the shores of the Adriatic, in the Pontine
marshes and in the Gulf of Naples, the
artificial productionof salt water fish
The Polytechnic Journal mentioned
above, contains a full description of the
simple process employed at Huningen,
but these have been sufficiently explained
in the former article published in The
Tribune. The obtaining of the spawn by
pressing the fecund fish is in fact nothing
more than a simple act Of midwifery-so
to speak, the main thing being the proper
care and protection of the eggs so obtain
ed; and the enormous multiplication of
fish is owing simply to the fact that they
are thus saved from the innumerable dan
gers to which they are exposed in the
open rivers, and that each egg is afforded
opportunity to produce its fish, instead of
being devoured with myriads of others,
by birds, fish and other animals which
prey upon them. This new art might
easily be transplanted to the U. States,
and it would be worth while for some of
our State Legislatures to inquire into it
with a view to the forming Of establish
ments and the stocking Of the rivers with
a great abundance of the most delicious
kinds of fish.

1t generally happens that those who
try to overreach others, oyerreach them
selves in the end. This was the case with
farmer Edm6nds. He was laying up
money as fast as any of his neighbors,
whose means of accumulation were no
greater than his own, and ought to have
been satisfied and thankful. But, unfor-
tOnately, The desires of farmer Edmonds,
Ike those Of a great many other people,

s9y~Boys are sometimes endowed, says
the New Orleans PcayHne, with remar-

the State of Texas, consisted of the three
girls and boy-the latter only three
years old. They were all sitting round
the fire one evening, engaged in telling
how far back they could recollect. One
of the girls reeollected when she had ga

Let me stay al nv home in the beautiful West,
Where PLAYED when child,-in my age let me rest;
Where the bright prairies bloom, and the wild waters
play,
In the home of my heart, dearest friends let stay
O here let me stay where my chief in the pride,
OF brave warrior youth, wandered forth from my side,
Where he laid my feet the young hunters best prey,
While roamed wild huntress,-O, friends let me stay.
lie: me stay where the prares we oft wandered thro
While my moccasins brushed from the flowers the dew,
Where my warrior would pluck the wild blossums and
say,
us White Rose was the fairesio there let me stay!
O. here let stay where bright pumes from the wing
OF the bird that his had percedhe would bring
Where IN parting for battle, he softly would say,
IT'S shield thee fghi,-o, with him let stay,
Let stay though the strength OF my Chieftan oer
Though his warriors he leads TO the battle more;
lie loves through the woods wild hunter to stray,
dis heart clIngs to home,-O, there let me stay!
Let me stay where my children, IN childhood have
played,
When through the green forest they often have sayed
They never could bend to the white mans cold sway
You tell me Of leaves Of the Spirit that speaks,
But the Spirit own, in the bright stars seek
10 the prairie, in the forest, the waters wild play
see Him, / hear HIM, o, then let me stay!

The Administration and the Pacific Rail Rond
The following extract from the Washington Union
of the 27, corroborates statement OF the position
of the Administration in respect 10 the Pacific Rail
Road:
First, the Republican charges, that President
Pierce and his cabinet, committed 10 the cOnstruc.
ton by the government OF gigantic railroad of 2.
500 miles in length, reaching from the valley of The
Mississippi 10 the Pacific ocean and by way of aa.
ming The tax PAYERS in Georgia, the cost of the road
is put down at two hundred millions of dollars The
charge is made upon the allegation that Colonel Da.
Wis, in his speech at Philadelphia, not only declared
himself in favor of the enterprise but announced that
he spoke for President Pierce well himself
The Republican also charges that Colonel Davis
speech passed through second edition FIR the pur.
pose OF undergoing such revisons would quiet the
constitutional scrupes of some democrats who were
dspIeased with the position assigned TO the President
in the first edition. These allegations, charges and
deductions are sheer Misrepresentation. Col. Davis
was not represented, IN any report OF his speech that
we have ever seen, speaking for President Pierce,
except a SINCE point, and that he would sanction
exercise of pow by the general government that
would interfere with the rights and jurisdiction of the
States. In this particular, and to this extent, and
further, did Colonel Davis profess TO speak for The
President and the reports of his Speech as first pub
Iished well as his revised speech, in
presenting the matter.
1t is not true that Col. Davis and Mr. Guthrie de-
clared themselves in favor of the gigantic scheme
government measure; on the contrary, Col. Davis
was explicit in confirming his remarks as to the power
of Congress to road lying within the territories Of
the United States; repuda,ing the idea that had a
ny power 10 construct it within State, and only con
ceding the powei within the territories upon the as
sumption that it was necessary as means of defence
This was the full extent of his concession, and he
gave no ground for the inference that he was in ia
vor Of, would sanction the enterprise govern.
ment measure, 10 be carried out by appropriations
from the treasury He conceded that the government
might give aid to road through its territories nece
sary for purposes of defence, but he gave intma
ton 10 The building of such road out of the trea'U
ry. The President has in no way committed himself
to the Pacific railroad, and especially does he stand
uncommitted TO such an enterprise government
undertaking, and TO be paid out Of the treasury We
have so announced on former occasion, and we re-
peat the announcement

The brutal seizure of koszta by the Austrian Of
fcers on the soil of neutral and friendly power was
a clear violation of law and justice. That Seizure
also an outrage upon our rights, IN the person
of whose nitiatory oath and declaration entitled
him to become a citizen of the United States BY
that act Koszta had placed himself upon the plat.
form of the constitution, and could justly claim ali
the protection that should be extended to an Amer:
lean citizen. In many of the States he would have
enjoyed the right of suffrage, and in foreign land
he was covered by the flag of the Union. He had
committed no offence save that of having nobly co.,
tended for the liberty Of his country, and the oath
accepted by our government, by which he abjured
allegiance to Austria, and bound himself to become
citizen of the United States, induced the CORES,

ROME IN 1S5a.

A private letter from well-infsrmed Ameri-
can to the Editor Of The Tribune, dated Rome,
Jan Is, gives the following somber picture Of
the present condition of the Eternal City:
Rome is in a wretched state. Supported
by France and Austria, the Government is pro-
scriptive and cruel in the extreme. What with
fines, imprisonments, expulsions, &c, &c,
scarcely family, high or low, that has not been
subjected, within the last two years, to some
severe punishment for participation, no matter
how slight or indirect, in the revolutionary pro-
ceedings of lS4s. The authorities have an
nounced their determination to eradicate every
thing like republican sentiment, and every day
witnesses the execution Of painful and rigorous
measures, notwithstanding the publication OF
two amnesties Of the Pope.
There is a scheme in contemplation which,
if carried into execution, will bind the poor Ro-
mans hand and foot, and consign them to slavery
forever The plan originates with Spain, as
such project should. Ii is proposed that the
great Catholic Powers should unite in forming
what is called common ProtectOrate over the
Roman States, constituting them neutral here
after in all cases of war; and guaranteeing 10
preserve the integrity Of the POpe's temporal
government against all enemies, external and
internal An arrangement like this, which
would connect the integrity OF this Government
with the guaranty of foreign powers, would be
infamous in the extreme, and certainly, so far
as il tended TO curtail the imprescriptable night
Of the Roman people to modify their form OF
government at pleasure, would be null and VOID
BY maxims OF public right, which no interna-
tiOna combinations, no treaties, can override or
overtmn / fear, however, from all i hear,
this Infamous scheme will be carried out
