Southern Railroads

The following items shew the rapidly increas-
ing prosperity of southern railroads.
The receipts of the Western aud Atlantic road
are chiefly from the same country which is pen
etrated by the Virginia and Tennessee railroad.
We remark two facts as evidenced BY these re-
suits: lst. that this country is hot yet develop
ed, and next that this development is going on
with an astonishing rapdty.
The copper region is far richer and more ex-
tensive than that which nov feeds the roads of
Georgia Those concerned in working this ore
expect to send nearly 1000 tons over the Va. and
Tenn. road during the current year.
The iron region, too, along our road is a. rich
as any in the Union. The agricultural capacity
of the country is unsurpassed. In short the
completion of the railroad must be followed by
rapid development of resources such a has not
been heretofore witnessed.
We copy from the Georgia Chronicle and Sen.
tine:
FREIGHT on THE WESTERN AND ATLANTIC
RAILRoA - Cotton has decreased from 65,I-6
bales in s53, to 81, s;}3 bales in l-JI while pig
iron has increased from so .2U2 pounds 10 2:t2-,
5i7 pounds; copper ore from l,2-o,l9l pounds
to S.2s93l3 pounds, butter, lard and bacon from
6,753.552 pounds To- 100 pounds and -four
and barrels. These remarkable statistics, OBJ
serves the Columbus Times. show the develop
ment of resources long hidden in the mountains
of.GeorGia. 1t il certain that this Is bot
the beginning Of the end.
Except the pig iron, the great mass of all the
produce is the product of Tennessee. 4 very
small portion indeed i. Of Georgia production.

LYNcHBuRG. -The Stanton Messenger thus
notices our city. Speaking Of the completion Of
tie South Side Railroad, it says 1.-The first
through train of car, ran up to Lynchburg ON
the 2nd inst, making the trip in about seven
hours from Petersburg This is important
event to Lynchburg; and will, Sehave no doubt,
add much to its prosperity Lynchburg is al
ready place of considerable importance, a
commercial and manufacturing city. There is
more manufacturing capital invested in it. in
proportion to population, than in any other city
or town in the commonwealth; and with increas-
ed facilities for trade we have no doubt its trade
and commerce will increase, until it shall become
one of the most populous well as most pros
porous of Virginia citiesand. the South Side
road will afford these increased facilities. he
event is to be appropriately celebrated"

packed circumstance rather unusual on opera

Whether this is TO be attributed the high estimation
in which Mr.. Wallace is held by tho public generally, or
is to be attributed to the increased favor with which
English lyrical compositions have come to be regarded,
since they have been presented to In an effective for
by the excellent artists comprising this company

Hlibustering refugees, sent over to regulate our

We have made no charges concerning Bel
monts paternity. His father, grandfather, and
their ancestors back to the days of Abraham,
were doubtless very respectable people, and
men Of sharp financial abilities in making loans
and shaving notes and shinphsters. We are
aware that Mr.. Buchanan considers Belmont
superior even TO Robert J.Walker as financier;
for it was Belmont who secured Q loan to
Pennsylva and made profit Of from one
to two per cent by the operation; and at
time, too, when Pennsylvania had not re-

Belmont is notifying humbug and shallow
pretender, beneath contempt. He has, perhaps,
succeeded in astonishing the Dutch with his
several splendid carriages, his magnificent
horses, and his royal dinners and from his init
macy with the Russian Legation, he may have
created the impression among the ignorant that
his mission includes the affairs of all Europe,
and is lot limited to the case Of Captain Glib
son.
The foreign appointments Of this adninistra
ton-Owen the English socialist, to Naples 4;
Soule, the French refugee, to Madrid ; AMI
Belmont, the German Israelite, to the Hague,
and such as these, both at home and abroad,
have resulted in the terrible uprising Of the
Know Nothings The reaction in 1856 will send
into oblivion the administration and all con-
cerned. Neither Soule nor Belmont can save
them, short OF war with France and loan to
Russia.
We have given Mr.. Belmont the benefit of our
columns in his defence and his certificates for
what they are worth. Will the Cabinet organ
at Washington reciprocate this liberality by re-
publishing our reply? The case is still open
for evidence and argument

wan government The pamphlet takes strong ground
against the sliding scale Of duty on guaao, recon-
mendsd by the select committee in the House, at
the last session Of Congress- The committee, be-.
lievng that the Peruvian government held the price
at an unnecessarily high figure, recommended that
guano should be free Of duty when the market price
did not exceed forty dollars per ton and that when
it was higher the duties should com nense at four
per cent, and increase in prop ,ron to the price.
The writer o. the pamphlet attempts to show that,
at the present rate of Heights, the price OF guano
cannot be reduced lower than fifty dollars per TOM
and at any rate will not be lowered In consequence
Of this sliding sale Of duty, because the Peruvian
government cannot do SO without being deprived Of
the profit it bow receives from its guano islands.
The committee were also Of opinion that tbs English
