RAILROADS ~ 0mo.-There are now said to be
upwards of 100 miles of railroad completed or
nearly SO in Ohio The aggregate cost OF the
roads il S20l05,7S7. The net receipts are "a
per cent on the cost, and the net receipts are
about 80 per cent. Of the gross receipts. When
all the roads now in progress in Ohio are compile
ted they will swell the aggregate to 5000 miles.
We would like to know of our capitalists if
their Investments pay q per cent. annually II
not, we would recommend to them IA change of a
few hundred thousands into railroad stocks. We
can, We honestly believe, safely recommend the
Stock of the Orange and Alexandria road as an
investment to all classes of our citizens who
have money in large or smallamounts from which
they desire to obtain good return. We design,
in day or two, to offer, somewhat at large, our
reasons for the opinion we entertain of the SUI
perior advantages of this stock an Investment
of capital, as compared with other railroad
stocks.

Resources and Plans of the riHbustels

The Memphis Wing learns from its exchanges
and other sources that the available funds at the
command Of the friends Of Cuban liberty amount
to a little short Of one million Of dollars, while
eight steamers andfour sailing vessels have been
placed at their disposal, and can be made ready
for sailing at twenty four hours notice. They
are also posses sors of between eighty and ninety
thousand stand of arms mnskets and rifles inelu
ded they also have, if we are rightly informed,
bout 30 eld-pieoes, including cannons, howitzers,
and mortars, and are pretty wei supplied with
ammunition and side-arms. The resources have
been placed IN the hands ola committee, who aro
to hold them until the time sci for the carrying
into execution OF their project ] he Wing pro-
oeeds TO give the following detail, If the cum
paign:
The entire command of this expedition will be
vested in gentleman of kn,wn ability and skill
and whose name has already become household
word with the citizens the L. Siutes in eonsc-
quence of his brilliant achievements and success
full manouyres while in command of a division of
the American army, during the late war between
the L. States and Mexico.
The second in command wills all probability,
be a ''northern man with southern principles"
and who was also a commander # u brigade in
the same war, and who has since held the office
of Governor, and who, if we mistake not still re-
tains prominent civil position
Gen. Gonzales whose has name been associated
with this movement from the first will without
doubt, be third in command.
Col. Wheat, Col Pickett, Col. Bell, Major !. A,
Kelley, Major Moore, Capt. ". 5. Edwards, Capt.
King, Capt. j. W. Dement,, aud Lieut.. Frank
Ouilmette, al of whom were intimately connect
ed with the previous expedition, are, eredi-
bly, informed, exerting themselves in preparation
for the forthcoming struggle, and will "be in at
the DEATH
The number of men that have enrol ed their
names and pledged their honor to support this
cause, cannot be much less than fifty thousand,
and they men who are well skilled in the use
of fire arms, and who determined 10 aYengc
the cowardy massacre of Crtlenden, Kerr, and
others in Havana, on the 3D. of August, 1851
This expedition will, in all probability. leave
the shore Of the United States about the middle of
next month, and will land in the Nuelto Abajo
country, and thence proceed TO Havana. There
will be, perhaps, ten thous men thrown into the
Island the first efforts, and Immediately followed
by achievements until thirty forty soldiers are
there and with this force there cannot be much
doubt as to which party will be the successful
one.

The Tomb of Andrew Jackson.

At THE HERMITAGE, NEAR NASHVILLE, TENNEs-
SEE.
The Hermitage, which was for many wears the
residence of General Jackson,s beautifully situa-
ted on the bank of tie Cumberland river about ten
miles from the city of Nashville. There the
remains of the distinguished general and Presi
dent who filled so important place in the histo-
~ of his country, were inferred in June, lSl5-
We have not seen any particular description of
the tomb at the Hermitage, but it is known that
the general was opposed to pomp and show in
eommcmoration of the deed He refused to ae-
cept of marble sarcophagus brought frcm the
Mediterranean, which had contained the remains
of antiquity. lie desired To be buried in plain
manner according to the customs of his country
men.
Gen. Jackson was buried by the side of his
wife, who had preceded him to the tomb sixteen
years before his own death. The following cpl
taph ON this lady is interesting, it was written
by General Jackson himself
The Richmond Examiner says:
\ lady in the west has been kind enough to send
us Il copy of Andrew ,Jackson's eptaph ON his
wife. 1t is known to have been his own compo-
sition, yet, although it has been read by thous-
ands on her tomb in Tennessee, it has never APP
peared i'll print before. This singular ns criptioa
runs thus:
''llere lie the remains of Mrs. Rachel Jack son,
wife of President jackson who died on the 22nd
of December 1928, aged 81. Her face was fair
her person pleasing, her temper amiable aud her
heart kind. She delighted in relieving the wants
of her fellow creatures,and cultivated that divine
pleasure by the most liberal and unpretending
methods. To the poor She was beneiactress;
10 the rich She was am examples to the wretehed
n comfortcr to the prosperous an ornament. Her
pity went hand in hand with her benevolence: and
she thanked her Creator for being permitted to do
good. a being 50 gentle and SO virtuous SANDER
might woGnd, but it could not dishonor. Even
death,when he tore her from the arms of her hus-
hand, could but transplant her 10 the bosom of
her God.

LINES 10 LUCY.

'ubllc mind, the following exquisite lines by him
will be read with mournful pleasure:
LINES 40 LUCY.
The silver tone of womans tongue,
The coquence of woman's eyes,
4 thousand nameless bards have sung,
In strains UNDECIDED by the wise.
| would not be bard like them
Even for the heaven of Lucy's smile
And Lucy would herself condemn,
The tlatterel's deceitful vile.
| could not tell thee how | love,
Nor paint the charms | find in thee,
Though every leaf in yonder grove
Changed into winged words for me.
But, Lucy! to this heart of mine,
Let me thy gentle fingers press;
Each rapid, bounding throb is thine
And Every throbis happiness.
Lucy it is the holy hour
When sunlight dies upon the sea
When pearls are hung ON every flower,
And birds are hushed on every tree,
Open the luttce-all is mute
Mute as the beam of yon pale star;
would not even have thy lutte,
The music of such silence mar.
Methnks there is in til spell
That gives the soul higher sway,
And thoughts that oft in darkness dwell,
Start into life in bright array
Thoughts, feelings, ecstacies that fling
A sudden joy, thro' both our bosoms,
Like flowers III moonlight, or in Spring,
That wreaths ON every bough her blossoms.
Each others would we long have been;
Our eyes their sun our arms their zone;
But now something felt-not seen,
Gives to our bliss higher tone,
While we can clasp each other thus
In loves deep purity cntwincd,
Oh what is all the world to us!-
Earth cannot bound the chainess mind.
Our souls, Ike clouds at break of day,
Across the suns bright pathway driven,
Have in light resolved away
O. God the light-the light of Heaven.
My spirit floats in liquid light,
Like skiHis upon a sapphire sea.
O, Lucy! We have seen tonight
\ glimpse Of Heavens eternity!
Lucy il is time for prayer,
4 time for thoughts we cannot speak;
But in the blue and starry air
Our thoughts will find the home they seek:
kneel with me- Lucy, side by side
We are not things of dust and clay;
Thou art my own immortal bride
kneel with me, dearest, we will pray.
