THE PACIFIC RAILROAD.

I
We presented on Sunday an article on this
subject. Before, and since then, we have been
informed that we would be placed in antago-
nsm to the Administration and to the Union,
pursue.
Such result would have been extremely
painful to us; bat yet it could not have swerved
US hairs breadth from the course which our
Judgment pointed out as the true and proper
one. /.
We are rejoiced, however, to perceive from
the yesterday issue Of the Union, that the pub
lie has taken up most erroneous IDEAS from the
expressions which that respected journal has
used in this regard, and also rs to the position
Of the Executive, as that journal has been sup
| posed to define it, on this subject
! Keeping in view the clear and distinct record
Of President. Pierce, whilst a member of Con,
gress, we could not believe that he would sane.
ton Pacific railway government work.
Having distinct recollection of the political
onteceients of Mr.. Secretary Davis, we have
never supposed that he had abandoned his long
cherished position. Knowing the position of
the Union we were 10th to believe that it would
enter into the mazes Of federal constructions

The Guano supply.

ptPuTArIoN TO THE ENGLISH FOREIGN OFFICE.
On Saturday afternoon, Dec. 10th. deputaton
tom the Coun Ill of the Royal Agricultural Society
Of England, waited, by appointment, on the Earl Of
CLARENDON Secretary OF State for Foreign Affairs, at
the noble ears official residence in Downing street.
The population consisted Of Mr. Pusey, the President
Of The society, and Lord Berners, the Duke of Rich
mono being unavcidably prevented accompanying
them. After auding to the circumstances under
which the supply OF guano was at presen' furnished
by the Peruvian government, and the exorbtaut
price charged to the English for the article
the depua tioh handed to the noble secretary me-
mortal from the Council Of the Royal Agricultural
Society," to the effect that being deeply sensible Of
the hsrdships inflicted on the British farmer by the
excessive price Of Peruvian gnanO they trusted that
the endeayors of her Majestys government would be
directed towards the reduction OF the cost OF this
important manure,
In the course OF the interview the Earl Of Claren
don entered fully into the question: which he assured
lIe deputa!lon had not failed to engage large
s"are OF MS attention. In addition to the report
which "ao peen lately received from Admiral Mores-
by, with regard 10 the extent Of the supply Of guano
Peru, it intended by the government 70 nsti-
tute immediate inquiries with the view OF ascertain
ing the exact state of facts and also to obtaining
supplies of nitrate Of soda from the MexcA terrific
RES which understood to possess properties that
rendered it equivalent in value, as o mani.re, 10
euano itself 1t like wise appeared that many ahou-
sand tens Of fish were now annually thrown away as
onal in Newfoundland, which might easily be con-
verted into rich and fertsing manure. To this
also his attention should be directed and the fullest
Inquiries made upon the subject. The noble earl
concluded by giving ou assurance that her Majestys
govern ment would relax no effort for the purpose Of
inducing the Peruvian government to consider the
question and eDdeavoring to secure to the English
element in the cultivation and improvement of the
SOIL of other foreign manures equal to guan0
in utility and value.

HON. AMOS kEEDALL-THE ARBITRATIOHs
From sbannsrs Telegr aphic Comsanion
II is known to the public that recently arbitra-
ton on teegraphic affairs took place in the city Of
Philsdelphia. The case was one Of difference be-
Company and the Morse patentees, including their
energetic agent, Hon. Amos Kendall. With view
Of finally settling disputed points in business
affair as to respective rights the questions in dis
gentlemen, aud their award to be final in the pre-
misses These gentlemen were distinguished lawyers
from New York, Philadelphia, and Charleston. The
news reporter of Philadelphia was indiscreet enough
to promulgate a saDderOus pews item for the press
charging Mr. Kenda with fraud, &c. The recollec-
tCn Of the base SANDER must mantle the news re-
porter with shame and modification. How man
can bring himself SO low to wantonly assau ano-
Their in this wholesale manner, totally reckless Of
truth, is question not easily solved. He stands
behind curtain, and s presumed to be just in his
message to the world, never permitting false state
ment to issue from his position. The flag entrusted
to his charge he traied in the dust, in heraldng
forth fabricated statement relative to this transac
ton.
With view to place the matter before the country
in its proper garb, we addressed letter to Mr. Ken
dali, requesting information upon the subject His
letter nobly ubfolds the bright page Of truth. Here
is the answer, viz:
WASHINGTON Nov. TO- 1858.
TAI. P. SHAPFNER, Eso.-Dear Sir:-At your re-
quest proceed to state the practical results Of the
arbitration lately held in Philadelphia, in viii n the
Washington and New Orleans Telegraph Company,
Professor Morse, the Messrs. Walls and myself were

pany claimed that we had right TO certain
amount Of stock acquired through the construction
OF The line, and we claimed a right to additional
sock, in eDsequence Of the putting up of second
wire u portion Of the line, which the company
denied

CorToN FACTORY BURNED IN VrRGIsIA.--Tts
Fredericksburg Cotton Factory was destroyed by
fire on Monday evening last, embracing the building
and machinery, in one general Conaagration. The
alarm was given at half past eight o'clock 1t is be-
lieved the fire must have originated IN the engine
room, which bad been left by the workmen only q
short time before. Toe large and valuable stock o.
machinery, costing not less than $40 000 was injured
beyond all remedy, and will prove total loss The
building occupied by the operatives as well as that
in the rear, the engine room, were soon scatbed by
the fiery clement and nothing stands to attest their
previous existence save the charred walls Luckily
The wind was from the west and served TO ward on
the flames from the long Off &c connected with the
establishments; it still stands, 30 that all the books
and papers of Messrs. +. & J. W. Slaughter safe.
