Washington Matters,
Correspondence ofthe New York Daily Times,

Correspondence fthe Ne,o York Daily Times,
Washington, Thursday, Dec; 20, 1853,
People will naturally inquire before the
Winter gales are over, what is likely to be the
action of Congress with reference to River and
Harbor Improvements. The Presidents in
ferential recommendation that power be given
to States to levy tonnage duties for the pur-
pose of raising fund to make these improve
ments, will not result in any favorable action.
No such measure will pass the House of Rep
resentatives strongly Democratic as it is. 1t
will be killed in the House by a combination
of the Representatives from the States occu-
plying the Valley Of the Mississippi and the
great States of the Northwest, because sys-
tenn of tonnage duties such as is proposed
must be utterly inefficient in affording the re-
quired aid to the poorer States, which most
need these improvements, and are least able
to make them, while it will give to the rich
States Ct the. Atlantic border Il great excess of
means. Thus, the system will be one of gross
inequalities, no more to be defended than a
domestic postal system which would fail to
furnish mail service to the smaller towns, and
the poorer citizens, and give these facilities of
intercommunication to the populcus cities,
and the richer classes, who furnish large
amount of Post Office business. Col. Ben
ton is violently opposed to the proposition,
and is quite prepared to give it scathing
reception, doubtless, whenever it will come
I up.
Cob Benton, learn Also is entirely oppos-
ed to Secretary Dobbin's recommendation,
and the bill based thereon, and now pending
in Congress, for building six new naval steam
ers. There seems likely to be be conflict
upon this subject between the friends of the
Navy and the Pacific Railroad men, some of
the latter looking upon the steamer propcsi-
ton as mere ruse to defeat the Railroad
project. If this feeling exists, Mr.. Dobbin
certainly will not get his steamers unless the
Railroad scheme shall also have practical, de-
cisive and favorable consideration. The Rail
road men contend that it is not Navy We
need for the protection of our Pacific posses
sions, but Railroad that shall bind us to them
and afford us rapid communication from ocean
to ocean, across our own territory.
The friends Of the Homestead bill will need
exert their utmost influence if they would Sc
cure the passage of that measure by the pres
ent Congress. It's certainly in great danger
Of defeat through the means of spectators,
who want grants of land, under the pretence
of building railroads. The Presidents rec
ommendation, also, in his Message, favoring
the old land sale system, and incidentally
discouraging the plan of giving away lands
will have its influence against the Homestead
bill, which will be crushed, most likely, in
the combination of antagonistic interests.

Benefits of Railroads.

FRIEND BIRD.-I have of late given some
attention to the subject of Railroads, and thei,
benefit to the country through which thew
pass, and the facility of our country to pro-
cure the means to construct the same.
My attention was first drawn to the sub
Ject by becoming personally acquainted with
the lndomltable perseverance and success OF
the Milwaukee and Lacrosse Railroad Co,
as the report of Mr.. Clinton will evidently
show fair prospect Of a speedy completion
OF the road, the success ofwhich is mostly at
! trfbuted to the fact, that the farmers and 9th
ers interested on the route, have vigorously
walked up to their own interest in the mat
ter
find from figures, and that too, at mod
crate calculation, that the benefits derived from
the structure of the Lacrosse road to the far
mers of Dodge county alone, would be more
than sufficient to build the entire road from
Milwaukee to Lacrosse.
have ever deemed it suicidal to the best
interests OF the farmer, to mortgage his farm
to secure stock in any railroad, and have 80
expressed my opinion to those who had tho't
Of so doing; but on more mature reflection,
and thorough investigation, have changed nv
opinion in this respect. Facts and figures
show that good farmers can mortgage their
farms to secure stock in any railroad in this
country, at moderate rate of interest, on fit
teen or twenty years time, and thereby bene-
tit themselves at least from five to ten Der
cent per annum in securing home market,
and an unavoidable increased value to their
farms, and at the expiration of the fifteen or
twenty years, as the case may be, they will
have paid up their notes and have hand
some little sum left, which they have received
from the dividends of the road, without ac-
tually having paid one cent out of their own
pockets, and still retian their original stock in
the road p

A large Verdict.

The suit of Thomas H. Silkman against
Davis & More for injuries received by the
plaintiff, by the upsetting of the Stage Coach
belonging to the line of Stages, of which they
are part proprietors, was brought to close in
the U. S. District Court night before last, and
the jury returned verdict yesterday morn
ing of $4,000. The accident happened at
Vernon, Wis, in 1850. The plaintiff frac-
tured the elbow joint, from which he almost
lost the use of his right arm. One point de-
cided by the Court, we understand, was that
the fact that the plaintiff had been maltreat-
ed by his physician, was not to be taken into
consideration by the jury in mitigation of dam
ages, as he must be supposed to have employ
ed the best medical assistance in his power,
and the stage company were therefore respon-
sible for all the consequences of the injury.

their answer to questions she intended to put
to them before the visitors during the after

The next, "Of what were you made ?" reply
1.-The dust of the EARTH" and so on through
the Catechism. The all important moment
having arrived, the little "shavers' were told
to stand up. The little head boy, it seems,
was missing, but the fact being unnoticed by
the teacher, she proceeded with the question
"Who made you?" which elected the follow,
