TIE COMPLIMENTARY SUPPER.

The supper given at the NAPLES House on
the evening ofthe 9th inst, was one of the
most brilliant public demonstrations ever wits
messed in this city. Indeed, az manifestation
Of personal regard, it ranks without a parallel
in the memory of our oldest citizens, and will
be recolected by the honored and distinguish
ed guest Of the evening as one of the proudes
incidents connected with his long and eventfu
political career. To him it must have been a
truly proud aud gratifying OCCASION To his
friends and fellow citizens it was one of unex
ampled triumph Familiar with the efficiency
of his services, his ndefaigable zeal and untir
inc devotion to their interests and Tie interests
of their State. they had kept an attentive eye
upon the Capital during the pendence of tho
Senatorial contest. That contest was past
and with it were realized all their hopes, inter
cs,s and desires He now stood in their midst
the embodiment of those hopes and the recipl
ent of their heartfelt congratulations and never
were congratulations more freely or cordially
extended From the time the cloth was remov
ed until the company dispersed, the occasion
exhibited but one continued blaze OF enthu.
sasm.
The members of all political parties were ther :,
but the partizan was forgotten and the citizen
alone was represented. In the beautiful Ian
guage of VIM. J. Barney Esq, "Genl Jones
departs from amongst us TO enter upon the ar.
duous duties Of his congressional career, not as
the representative of the democratic p.ry alone
but as the representative of the whole people
the choice of the united public" The ta,ts
were numerous and apropos, and the reply OF
Genl. Jones 10 the sentiment which called him
out, was exceedingly happy and well received.
The company arose at IL O'Clock precisely.
Our readers are referred to our columns else
where for the proceedings.
We cannot dismiss this subject without ad
verting to the management, taste and arrange
ment in the supper room. The tables seated
from one hundred and fifty to two hundred per-
sons and were most bountfully supplied
They were supplied after he peculiar style Of
the gentlemanly hos, and proprietor, MIR. Peter
NAPLES, than whom more accomplishment at
tctfeive landlord, never catered to the public
taste Too much praise cannot be awarded to
him for the promptitude, style and bounty with
which he provided for the occasion.

AN IMPORTANT nIscovERy.-A scientific
correspondent ofthe New YorI; Courier, has
made an important discovery in voltaic electri-
city, which may be practically applied to tie
cure of weak neryes. Il is this.
"lfa cylindrical piece OF zinc is placed nea.
the top of broom handle, and another about fif-
teen inches below, connection being made be-
tween the two by means Of wire, person
taking bold of the top piece with the right hand
while the left IS placed on tie copper or lower
piece, forms voltaic circle, which becomes
powerful the more the broom is used The
hands must be without gloves, So that the me-
tails are in contact, and the windows ofthe room
should be open when tn, broom is used, so as
to admit, the air freely. This discovery is in
valuable TO females in weak state for wan. of
active lie, and for males it can be applied to
axe handles"

RAIL ROADS.

Some immediate steps should be taken by cur
citizens touching our railroad interests. 1t is
very evident that, unless we do something soon,
we need do nothing at ALL The present sckly
condition of our railroad policy is matter for
deep public concern, and should unite the delib
crate attention of the people of the North and
of the whole State. l. is not one of those in
teres's that cannot be lightly tamper ID with The
only elements of success consistency and
unanimitv of action. This action to be success
ful must also be prompt and determined. 1t is
for us to say what we shall expect at the hands
of our Delegation and the Delegations of both
Houses. This is not time for hesitation and
inertnsss. our enemies are on the alert and we
must become their victims, unless we determine
that we shall be heard and respected. Let the
nublic voice be raised whether it be for change
and reform, or for steady adherence to the work
as already began.
We throw out these remarks for the action
and reflection of our readers, hoping that, what
ever NAV be their course, it will be characterized
by promptitude, firmness and decision.
After writing the above few lines the c0m-
muncation of Alpha, was handed in We have
not time to reply to it this evering, but will dc
so tomorrow, hoping in the mean time that ou
citizens may make some move IN the direction
which it indicates.
