~ We give below an extract from an amend
meut to aThe Armory bill' which passed
during the last days of the late session Con-
gress, which looks like an efficient prelim-
mary step, to the commencement Of this
great enterprise. The anxiety of the friends
of this measure, that Congress should do
something at the last session, by way of con-
sidering or adopting some one of the several
plans submitted will be appeased, no doubt
by the recent action of that body in making
this judicious and timely little provision
The construction of this road, which is to be
"the Lion" of the world in magnitude and i'm
portance in the way of internal improve
ments, is not to be trih with or expert
mented upon, hence the necessity of accu-
rate practical surveys, previous to the ssdop-
ton of any plan. The best route is an i'm
portant consideration in so expensive work
and the time given for the survey will be
found none to long.
"SEc. Is. And be it further enacted, that
the Secretary of War be, and is hereby au.
thorized under the direction of the President
of the United States, to employ such portion
of the corps of Typographical engineers, and
such other persons as he may deem neces
sary, to make such explorations and surveys
as he may deem advisable to ascertain the
most practicable and economical route for {
railroad from the Mississippi river to the
Pacific Ocean; and that the sum OF one
hundred and fifty thousand dollars, or 81
much Thereof as may be necessary, be, and
the same is hereby appropriated out of an,
money in the treasury not otherwise apPro
priated to defray the expenses Of such explo
rations and surveys.
Sec. Is. And be it further enacted, tina
the engineers and other persons en
ployed in said explorations and surveys shall
4 be organized in as many distinct corps a
there are routes to be surveyed, and thei
several reports shall be laid before Con
gress on or before the first Monday in Feb
ruary, eighteen hundred and f!ty.four." "

last week for st. Louis. She has been
undergoing repairs for the last two weeks and
has now taken her place as the Thursday Mail
packet, in opposition to the Louisville, and
st. Louis line, where she will remain as long
as the water permits. The Telegraph will
have a competitor now that will be hard
to head.

taking preliminary steps for the erection o:
another Mammoth Cotton Mill at Canneiton
Ind. The success of the one now in opera
ton there has been such as to inspire the
utmost confidence in the business. We
need no other evidence that this country
possesses advantages over New England for
manufacturing Cotton, than the fact that
Eastern Capitalists Of long experience are
investing their money freely in this direction.

THE ExPREss.-Capt. Alph Wilson's new
and splendid steamer passed down last Sun
day evening. She created almost as much
excitement at Louisville as did the Eclipse
Columns have been written about her excel
lencies and beauties. Every improvement
has been placed in her, of construction, ma
chinery, finish &c. She has 1 beautiful
model, immense power, and will prove not
only fast boat, but of great freight accom-.
modations.
The dimensions of this noble steamer are
as follows: Hull, by d. g. J. Howard, en-
IRENE length 295 feet; beam 35 feet; hold
feet; with water wheel 38 feet diameter, 12
feet buckets, and &c inches wide. She has
boilers AZ inches diameter, 80 feet long
with two engines, the offenders being &c in
ches diameter and ten feet stroke. Connect
ed with the main boilers is one for the "doc
tor" which is also used for the steam" nigger,'
to load and unload cargo. The engines ant
machinery are from the extensive and wei
known foundry and machnists, Inman, Gault
g. Co., the boilers were made by Mr. Michel
aud copper work by Wright g. Bridgeford.
Her cabin $50 feet long, 20 feet wide, l.
feet inches high, containing 81 state-rooms
those of the gentlemen's cabin being 6 fee
inches by Z feet, and the ladies 81 by
feet. The upper guards around the, cabil

GTWe were introduced to Mr.. Archer
of the Cannelton Express, and Mail Agent
on the Fashion. He is good enough looking
fellow to have continued a Wing, and we are
only surprised his departure from the Whig
ranks didn't smash up the hull party. How
ever. he no doubt makes good mail agent,
and might on pinch do very well for
female agent. Cupid is called an archer
and we don't see why Archer wouldn't make
a nice Cupid.

The Washington correspondents of the Lynch
burg Republican writes that there is some stir
among the Southern folks in reference to the prob-
babe selection of Gen. Dix member of the
cabinet. His Free Soil procll vities [says the
writer certainly do not recommend him, but
am told that Gov. Marcy endorses him, which
will go far to silence objections to General Dix
We all know that General Marcy would be the
last man that would attempt to deceive the
South
The idea of Marcy endorsing Dix a safe man
for the South is decidedly curious and funny
Marcy's own paper is not wortha picayune in this
market. How then can his name impart any
value to Mr.. Dxs note The objections of these
Southern Democrats easily silenced indeed
if theyaare content that one Free Soiler shall
stand sponsor for another. In this way. aud in
this way only, eau they find an endorser for Gov.
Marcy himself

The SIO0Oo OOO

The N Y Herald argues that the late vote in the
House of Representatives by which Mr. Marshall
was refused permission to offer his resolution for
placing ten millions ofdolars in the hands of &C.
neral Pierce was not tair test of the sense of the
House on the merits the proposition. 1t says
that Democratic members wished to be Informed
before voting for the measure, ''whether it would
be agreeable to Gen. PIERCE"
We have witnessed ia our time many and fla.
grant instances of subserviency to Executive pow
or on the part of the pseudo Democracy. We
knows we'll the monarchical proclvities of that
party, but we are far from believing that they
have already made such immense progress in
that direction as the Herald's statement might
lead US to infer. 1t cannot be that any consde-
rabe portion of the representatives of the people
have so far forgotten the duties and dignity of
their office. as to deem it necessary before voting
on an important public measure, to consult the
pleasure of the Executive in relation thereto
Nevertheless it is sinister omen to hear slav-
sh doctrine openly avowed by the ablest and
most influential Democratic newspaper in the
Union In the earlier and better days of the Re-
public. members Of Congress would have resent-
ed the Herald's suggestion an insult and libel
on their patriotism and independence.

RAILROAD 1RoN.-The duty Railroad Iron is the
subject OF an editorial in the New York Courier The
editor opposed to the proposed and argues
that
The price must rise fall according to tho position of
the English Iron interests which for the present rule it
absolutely We open our ports to English railroad iron
and increase thereby largely the demand With the
number OF railroads seeking be built here and the
tendency OF our population to go ahead rapidly than
dIscreety and to to themselves any the ad
vantages of this kind of it evident
that the demand for railroad iron will become very large
during this and the two three years and will be
exceedingly increased by opening ports until saving
Revision ie-lnduces prudence and consideration The
tendency Of the for Fills consequent on
the removal of the duty will be merely to m int .in
the present high prices ofrop but to increase the price
of all classes of IRON Railroad iron will be lower than
now, but not SO low the difference of duty would at
present indicate while the increased operations in
Engla will advance the prices OF all other IRONS and
In that way will tax the general consumers here more
than the gain OF the duty rails will compensate And
when the iron masters of England led by the state Of
the market to make every forge perform its maximum
duty accumulate again large stock material on hand
they will drop the prices retain the control of our
markets and iron works will be again forced to re-
duce all their operations and in pirt to suspend them
Is is evident thit this dilemma is than probabe,
