Gov. STEVENS, in his Message to the Legisla-
ture of Washington Territory,on Feb. 28th, states
the number OF votes as l,6S2 inhabitants 1000,
since considerably increased. He asserts that
the northern route for railroad to the Pacific is
altogether practicable. and has no doubt that the
surveys now in progress will establish the prae-
tieabilty of the southern and other routes. As
our commerce doubles in seven years, Gov. Ste
vens is of opinion that roads should be built sim
ultaneouslyto San Francisco and Puget's Sound
the great harbors the Pacific: and that the en-
ergies of the people, with such aid Govern
ment can constitutionally furnish, are adequate
to building three or four roads These great I'M
dertakings, however, he thinks should be control
led and consummated by the people themselves,
"and every project of Government road should
be diseountenanced."

We are informed by Col Crozet that the diff

Tunnel instead of lessening are increasing daily
The stone is in large detached fragments, which
are removed with great difficulty and with dan
ger as they nre liable to fall without moments
warning. 1t is necessary therefore TO support
them whilst the surrounding earth is being re-
moved, with heavy and costly scalodng Of tim
bers There is a constant fall Of water from the

day or two since an ioce several inches long
was found between two rocks. 1t must have fall
len from some unknown cavity between the roof
of the tunnel and the top of the mountain. 1t is
thought that as soon as the way is made clear
through the present strain of stone and
earth and they strike the plane of the comb OF
the mountain,thnt the character of the work will
be improved by entering firm stone. The work
upon the eastern section of the Tunnel is pro-

1MPoRTANT.-It is stated that the intelligence
from Spain concerning the occurrences with Mr..
Soule, in Madrid, has been confirmed by official
information received by various embassies in
Washington. We may then look out for some
thing important by the next steamer. The Star
says there can be little doubt that England has
compelled Spain to register the slaves in Cuba,
with view to the speedy abolition of slavery
there and that England overt acts against the
interests of the United States, as connected with
the future of the Island are at the bottom of all
the trouble which Mr.. Soul6 is undoubtedly hav-
ing at Madrid, The Star also has the following
items
information that the steamers of the English
fleet have certainly gone up into the Baltic and
Gulf of Finland has also reached more than one
embassy in this city. All the Russian ports ON
both are now undoubtedly under IA rigid block
AIDE.
some of the advices received by the foreign
ministers, say that there is a fair prospect that
the mediation,very recently offered by Prussia
bids fair TO succeed in preventing the war from
going any further We cannot believe in the
correctness of this impression

The Louisville Excitement

The excitement. in regard TO the Ward trial Is
still warm, though It shows itself chiefly m the
papers. The Democrat and Courier represent
one side. and the journal and Times the other.
The Journal OF End. May.has leader, col

We could not take the money, but the whole tone

DAYS afterwards.we called at his house and found
him in tears utterly bowed and crushed with grief
on account of his sons having shot Mr. ". ii. l..

who can pretend that IL was our dnty,under sueh

particulars of Lieut.. DaYidson's severe engage

not very seyere,in a hand to hand conflict SUR
econ Magruder was also wounded slightly. he
Republican adds:
The victory was dearly bought one to the
Indians, as about .f0y Of them were killed, and
nothing but their vast superiority IN numbers
gave them the triumph. Everything was safe at

Tn SURPLUS REYKSUE on THE COUNTRY, I'M
employed, continues At about s2s UO,o00 which
Is Just s25.Oo0,OO0 mare Of surplus than there
ought 70 be. 1t is very true, that it is well to
have some surplus on hand, because We cannot
always guess Just how much tnoney We want
but il Is a curse to the country, to have the Fed
eral Government boarding up treasure like
miser, whch Is collected from the people by
taxation beyond what the true needs of the
Government.
UnAcoountable would be the course of the Ad-
ADMINISTRATION. upon the subject OF the surplus
Revenue If il we're not very peculiar Admins
tration. One of its great pretenees upon coming
into power, was ga reduction of the Revenue
Ia low Tariff "a economical Administra-
tion.'' II has been invited to reduce the Tariff,
and it has declined Its attention has been IN
voked over and over again to look at and to pom
der upon this enormous surplus Revenue collect
ed by unnecessary taxation--and it gives the
subject no attention. 1t is very true that the
Secretary of the Treasury has sent in plan to
reduce the Revenue-but his project is allowed to
sleep on the Clerks table. The plan is mere
paper plan, and if ever intended to be put in ope
ration, the intention is clearly dropped.
The Committee of Ways and Means have made
no report on the Tariff and are not likely TO
make any this session. No Democratic Con
gresham urges upon them any action. The
Secretary of the Treasury has moi word to say,
and even ''the organ" is silent. What can we
think of all this!

"ALONE."-BY MARION HARIAND.-( Rich
mond 4. Morris. Few works of fiction bear
SO pregnant n title as the nosyllabic one which
the gifted authoress of our own city has bestowed
upon her latest offspring. The name is emphat-
ic, and she has made it tell" The reader is
introduced to the heroine ms am orphan, in early
life bereayed of her parents, and, having neither
brothers sisters near relatives, being necess-
arily alone in the world, Falling into the care
of those who had little fellow feeling for her des-
olate position, and who BETRAYED no desire 10
look into her hidden feelings and heart-trals, she
becomes cold and naughty through want of
sympathy; and, though brilliant in intellect and
Astounding in sensibility She fails to discover her
own powers until accident brings her into CON
tact with those who seek to win her heart aud
her confidence. We have the whole process of
this change of mind and character after the he
rome cases to be alone from want of congenial
friends indeed we have entire history of ca.
reer from childhood to maturity, with all its chan
ges and ehances-under an unhappy guardian
ship, without and with the soace of friendship
until finally the blessings of happy wedlock
crown the life The work abounds with piunant
remark, and well sustained dialogue; it has an eli
evating aspiration and high moral aim-sensi-
bly, showing that truly happy life is not all of
sunshine, but that the clouds are needed and
the storm too. to purify and reannate. Few
productions of the same class at the present
day, are written with greater eloquence of die
ton or charm of narrative, and though there
might sometimes be more force of characteristics
deincation, it has the merit of sustaining the
readers interest and of eliciting expressions of
qualification at rs close. For ourselves. we
have been gratified, because we have found IN it's
morale what experience has often shown us--we
have seen why Sheridan Knowles has said that
''when good woman is fifty mated, she grows
douhly good, how good so'cr before" The hus-
band,alter ALL has much TO do with creating the

ANOTHER DIsGRACEFuL SCENE IN CONGRESS.
The Washington Star of Saturday says
yesterday, just after the adjournment of the
House, which occurred amidst almost indescrba-
BILE confusion and excitement, over Intellectual
efforts to obtain "a quorum to vote on motion to
adjourn over, 4 momentary misunderstanding oc-
CURED between the Speaker and Mr. Campbeof
Ohio, as the former stepped down from his seat.
For an instant or so, the words passing between
them, thus preventing collision, and they were
kept apart. grew out of remarks made by Mr..
c. (after the House adiourned) while some mem
bers were calling for the yeas and nays"
The Star does not believe the affair can go any
further.
