C. w. d z. Rail Road,-We took our

and were pleased to find every thing in a
progressive state. The track is now laid
from this city to Amanda, and the Locomo-
tive sWAsmKeroN" makes regular trips
with tiess rail-, gravel sc. TO that aud aifthe
intermediate points. The late severe rains
and the frost coming out Of the ground lave
fully tested that portion of the road across
the MUDDY Prairie. Having remained with
the woikmen nearly all the afternoon, we
cheerfully bear testimony to the commend
able manner with which they expedite the
track laying, graycling, &c. There now
only remains to be laid three miles until
regular trains can run through to this city,
which can be done in about ten days ifthe
weathertkeeps favorable. The road, when
completsb will be one Of the best in the
country,and will pass through a region un-
surpasse9in beauty, grandeur and fertility
which cannot fail to make it one Of the
most popular th~oroughlares inthe Union.
Our friends ia Amanda are wide awake
and exhibit a feeling Of enterprise equal te
the times, andshave in contemplation vari
GUS improvements that eannot fail toinsnrt
them agoud trade. Among others we no
tice that our friend SuNDERMAS intends e

THE MUTEs ON WoMAN's RrGHrs.-At
the recent exhibition of the Deaf and Dumb
Asylum before the Legislature at Albany,
ithey were requsted, in their W expressive
language, to give their ideas of Woman's
Rights, as at present advocated. Miss
Toll, of Chautauque County, wrote as fol-
lows:
"Woman's Rights" is a theme on which
we spend but little time in speculation for
the reason that we are not sufficiently
strong-minded to discover any great wrong.
To us it seems that woman's true field is
home; and to do honor to this, her intellect
ual powers needs a higher cultivation than
is usually given them. But as legislator,
a statesman, n heroine upon the battle
field, there are but few who now so strong
" advocate the system, who would not pale
should they be called upon to face the stern
reality. For ourselveswe are satisfied, ant
would say in the language of our own eouh'
trywoman. "Letus 60 and learn our sta
tions at the tomb of Mary, the Mother o

A REFoRT .-During the wal of 1921 was
the misfortune of many American officers
to be prisoners in Canada, and not always
to meet with the best Of treatment. True,
they were physically well attended to, and
generally messed with their captors; but
they were subject to jibes and Notifying re-
marks, which not ~unirequently called forth a
ROLAND for an Oliver. On ono OF these
occasions (t was just after the fight of the
Presi lent from Washington and bsfore the
news of his safety had reached Quebec,D an
English officer gave the insulting boast,un-
der the circumstances, "Mr. Madison dead
or ~alive!n Words cannot express the in
dipnation Of the American officers, nor their
surprise when they saw a prisoner rise from
his chair returning thanks for This recollec,,
ton Of his country's chief magistrate, and
in the blandest voice called on all to NIL, as
he was about to make a return. There was
a peculiar something visible, however, which
led his companions to think they might fol
low his example, which they did. In a calm
unmoyed voice he gave the toast-"-HiS

MISSISSIPPI REPUDIATroN.-The value of
slave property in Mississippi is estimated
at $3.50, 0oo, 900, reckoning the number at
soc, 900, and the average value $500 each.
The Natchez Courier, Of these facts, re-
marks;
"What commentary upon these estimates
is presented in the simple fact Of u State
with such an aggregate Of one particular
species Of property, continuing to repudiate
her obligations, decidedly her W high
tribunals of Justice to have been constitu-
tionally issued and to be legally binding up
on her! And what a further commentary
upon her refusal to provide for the payment
of the Planters Bank Bonds, is to be found
in the fact that her State officers propose
and her legislature acceeds to,the taking oil
the very funds paid into her treasury fol
those Bonds to defrayhsr daily expenses
