RAILROAD GAUGES.

We believe we have before published an
extract upon this subject from Byrnes Die
tionary of Machinery. But its matter will
bear repetition. The width between the first
railway of any extent, was feet sl-2 inches.
The Liverpool and Manchester railway was
Termed of the same width, and standing Or
der was then made by Parliament, that the
width of all railways should be 4 feet 8 1-2
inches. This standing order was superseded in
1886. The principal gauges now in use range
from feet inches to 7 feet. The existing
want of uniformity led to the appointment
by the British Government of commission
to inquire into and report upon, the most ad-
vantageous width to be adopted in the future
construction of railroads in that country
The subject was examined with the greatest
minuteness every evidence was received
from the friends of the various gauges which
it was in their power to furnish, and the re-
suit, adds the high authority before us, was
report from the commission in favor of the
marrow gauge" or four feet eight inches and
halt, between the ralS as affording all the
advantages derived fron the 'broad gauge"
and at diminished expense. The 4feet 8 and
half inches is now the standard gauge in
Great Britain

SOUTHERN PERIODICALS.

The March number of the Southern Lite
rary Messenger contains its usual variety of
instructive and entertaining articles. Among
other matters of interest, therei is an able and
piquant review of the Nebraska bill and the
speech of Senator Chase.
The Southern Quarterly Reyiem for April
is filled with learned and philosophical arti-
Giles. 1t is one of the first reviews on this
continent, in point Of solid ability and infor-
nation.
If the periodicals of the South do not fiou-
IRISH, it will not be for want of real merit
But until Southern men can be driven by the
Northern lash into self-respect, we need not
expect Southern patronage of Southern la
bour. When the n. Y. Tribune throws out
the sneering boast that Southern agricultu-
rists are thick-skulled pumpkins, who are
made to bleed for the benefit of their polished
masters at the North, it presumes that no
jeers nor insults can ever goad the South to
break the chains of vassalage to the North
whether literary, commercial or manufacture
ing

RECRUITING IN ENGLAND

tits said that recruits come in very readily
in England, except Irishmen These used to
be the foremost in enlisting, the front OF every
battle and the last of every retreat. But the
policy of England has almost depopulated
Ireland, and her hardy sons find the shower
and the hoe in America, more pleasant and
profitable than starvation under English rule.
They have not lost their taste for fighting
though, as will be manifest, should the HOLY
Alliance turn its attention in this direction
We venture to predict that, in that event, the
Irish recruits will be the first to enlist under
the American flag, and will fill the American
army and navy to overhowing.
We are glad to see that the Irishmen who
remain in the old country, have selfrespect
enough to permit their oppressors to fight
their own battles.

NEBRASKA AND KANSAS.

John Mitchell, the spiciest and ablest ed.
tor of New York, expresses our sentiments
much more forcibly than we can ourselves
when he says: I'VE presume that the public
is tired of this debate. For at least q month
back, nothing new has been said on 1t. NO
thing new can be said. What orator soever
gets the floor now, he is sure to pour out the
same tide of discourse which was pumped up
some weeks ago. and which has been spilled
from one vessel into another, and back again,
ever since. Mr. Stewards periods are solemn
and grand, Mr.. Everetts figures are pretty,
Mr.. Toombs' reasoning is staunch, Mr.. Sum
ner sarcasm is scathing, and the Mr. Smiths
are impressive, facetious, or lachrymose, as
the case may be; but it all comes to the same
thing, and the very same thing over again.
Much oft we have read with pains and care;
and there is one thing we feel ourselves
bound to acknowledge with admiration and
envy-the fine Aux of words these gentlemen
have. 'Tis avery excellent piece of work ;
would it were overt
Yet the telegraph wires, every day, are Ia
den with fresh harangues; and as if two
houses Of the Legislature were not able to
supply the demand. innumerable meetings
are held in towns, large and small, at which
men, sober business-like men, men who
have probably business of their own to mind,
are found assembling together, to say once
more for the fortieth time, what has been al
ready said thirty nine times, and lend
their tone to the reverberating echo
The Citizen then proceeds to vindicate the
South, and to pay warm tribute to MIR.
Toombs. of Georgia, concerning whom it
says: 1--WE recognize in this speaker the
most comprehensive understanding of thereal
questions at issue. In our opinion, he lis the
soul of the Nebraska Bill
There is deputation of Nebraska Indians
now in Washington. Why don't the phi
lanthropist, instead of weeping over the woes
of negroes who may be enslaved in Nebras-
ka, set up howl over the sorrows of the red
men, who have been driven from their an
cient hunting grounds,and are being pressed,
step by step, into the Pacific Ocean.
