Railroad Intelllgence.

We learn from The Burlington Telegraph
that definite and most advantageous ar
rangements have been made with the Michi-
gan Central Company, for an early-connec-
ton with the Military Tract Railroad a
dalesburgh. The new arrangement was
entered into at Monmouth on Friday week,
by the officers of the Michigan Contra
Company, and the Committee recently ap-
pointed by the stockholders Of the Peoria
and Oquawka railroad. The connection is to
be formed at Galesburgh, by the first of May
next, at the farthest, when there will be a
continuous line of road from Burlington
via. Chicago, to the Eastern cities. An ar.
rangement was also made with the contrac-
tors on the road from Chicago to Gales
burgh, by which the Michigan Central ad-
vance $4,000 down, and at the rate Of
$4,000 month on the bonds of the Com.
pany, for the immediate completion Of one
end Of the road. Papers to the above eff
feet have been signed, sealed and delivered.
At q meeting of the Burlington and Mis-
oouEi nohAVou SohPohy, - W. DfooAS onu
w. Joy were elected to fill vacancies in the
board of Directors, and Mr.. Brooks after
wards was chosen President Of the Compa-
ny. It is thought that the road will be pu,
under contract by September, and compile.
ted from Burlington to the Des Moines riy.
or, in eighteen months.
The Cedar Rapids Era thinks that tn,
fret division Of the Lyons Central Railroad
will be put under contract within three
months, and completed to Marion and Cedar
Rapids within twenty months.
The Iowa City Republican is informed
that two hundred laborers will be in tina,
city this week, to commence work on the
"Lyons Railroad" Within the limits of
Johnson county. Almost the entire line oil
road will then be under process of con.
struction.

NATIONAL INTELLIGENCER.
An UNPUBLISHED SPEECH
or JOHN RANDOLPH or ROANOKE.

To enable the reader to understand distinctly the
question, the condition Of things at the time, and
the circumstances under which the following Speech
was delivered, it is necessary to state that the War
between the United States and Great Britain was
declared on the 18th of June, 1872; that after
this Declaration that Session of Congress, having
already lasted for many months, was brought to a
close on the 9th of July; and that the third and
last session of that Congress was begun, under
special act converting it, on the I'd day Of NoYem-
Der, 1872
The first business in order at this Third Session
was the adoption of such measures as the exigen-
cies of the country and the short experience Of the
first campaign of the war had shown to be necessa-
ry Amongst those measures was bilLreported
by the Military Committee for raising additional
army Of 10000 men, to serve for a term of one
year. This bill, of course, opened to debate the
whole question Of the war, its causes conduct, &c.
than twenty days, the leading members of the
House on all sides took part. Amongst them were
Messrs. PITKIN, CALHOUN, DEXTER, KEY, KENT
Stow, CLAY, EMoTT, SHEFFEY, LowNDEs, COLDS
BOROUGH, MACON, RANDOLPH, BLEEcKER, GOLD
aud others,
In the course of this debate motion was mad
to strike out the fourth section Of the BILL giving
the President of the United States exclusively tn
appointment of all officers under the rank of feel
officers. This question having been decided in tn
negative, in Committee of the Whole, Mr.. RAN
DoLPH obtained the floor, and, on subsequent day
delivered the subjoined speech.

The Ohio organ, of the temperance reform. (Cincinnati, [Ohio]) 1853-1854, 1853-11-18

BLooMER COSTUME OUTDoNE.-six
or seven days past, two young persons
came to boarding and Coffee house,
called the North Shades, on Broad !.
way, and giving out that they were
brothers, engaged boarding, saying
that they intended to remain few
weeks. On Saturday, the host having
noticed them in the meantime, became
suspicious that they were not broth
ers, as they were so dissimilar in per-
sonal appearance, but supposed the
couple had assumed to be SO for some
sinister and feIonious intent. He
therefore disclosed his opinion to the
police, and the suspected parties we're
arrested and taken to the calaboose.
One of the arrested parties proved to
be woman, although dressed in full
masculine equipment. Being q1es-
toned as to her assumption Of male
attire, she gave the following explain
alton:
Her maiden name was Phoebe
Hays; she was married to her COM
panion and pretended brother. whose
name is Ashley G Baker, in Flats
burg, New York. eight or nine months
ago. soon after the marriage was |
solemnized he declared his intentions |
Of going West, and desired her to
dress herself in male attire, alleging
as reason for it that they could tra-
vel cheaper than otherwise. She did

coming and convenient than her right
lul and proper garb, insisting that she
should continue to wear il; and she u

A Singular Vegetable.

Mr.. D. E. Moulton put into our
hands the other day, a cucumber of
the qnguini's cacunis species, which
looked for all the world like a green
snake. 1t was long, cylir drical and
serpentine, and at first would be taken
for veritabIe serpent, This we have
abundant reason to believe. Not one
ofthe many persons we have shown it
to, but has shrunk from it as from the
most hideous Of objects; and one poor
fellow revenged himself upon us for a
little attempt to palm it off as a snake
