Q9,) which added to the 28 above mentioned, make total of 47, believed to be IF favor of the measure from the above men. toned States. The States vet to elect gave 46 votes for the bill, and we know of no good req son for anticipating less number favorable to the measure in the delegations about to be elected. On the contrary, the probability is, that most or all of those southern mem bers who voted against the bill, or abstained from voting, will on the question of repeal, (thev or their successors,) be found in the negative

THE NEBRASKA QUESTION.

THE NEBRASKA QUESTION.
 Of the 59 senators embraced in the above list 26 marked I voted for the Nebraska bill.- To which add Bavard of Delaware, Yulee of Florida, Iverson of Georgia, Bright of Indiana, Crittenden of Kentucky, Adams of Mississippi Geyer of Missouri, Biggs and Reid of North Carolina Pugh of Ohio, and Evans of South Carolina, (11,) all of whom are known to be favorable to the Nebraska measure and we have a total of 37 already elected who are in favor of it. Then add Clayton, of Delaware, who, although he voted against the bill, has since declared himself opposed to ts repeai, and we have 38 Nebraskates already elected. Ofthe four vacancies, one in Alabama and one in Mis- souri will almost to certainty be filled with Nebraska men, making a total of 40, without including any chance which there may be for Nebraska men in the remaining two vacancies -one in Indiana and one in Pennsylvania. In round numbers it may be said that two-thirds of the new Senate will be in favor of the Me- braska measure, and still larger number against its repeal. Among the latter we pre- sume, may be included Bell, of Tennessee, and Houston, of Texas.
 HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,.
 The following is list of the representatives thus far elected to the new Congress- Those in italics are whlgs or aboltlonistS; those in TO- man are democrats or lree-soilers; those with a voted at the last session of Congress against the Nebraska bill, and those with f in favor of 1t.

Eighteen more votes would make majority of the House. It is not impossible, nor very improbable, that this number will be found (among the 134 members not included in the above calcuation) who will oppose repeal, al- though some of them voted against the bill on It's passage. In other words, it is by no means certain that bill to repeal the Nebraska law can pass the House.

The whole length of the line in Arkansas, from the Missouri line to Fulton, is 3O1 miles, passing through thirteen counties. In these thirteen counties there are 247 7Ol acres under cultivation, the annual agricultural products of which amount to over eight millions of dollars.
 "Another element of interest, of great and increasing importance to the road, Is the great abundance and variety of valuable minerals within the influence of the road combining all the necessary ingredients entering into the ma- nufacture of iron; some of which are of unsur- passed richness and value. Fuel, ore and lime stone lie, in close proximity to each other, and from the mouth of the mine can be thrown into the furnace. They are thus briefly de- scrlbed by an eminent practical geologist, who has recently examined the country: We have iron ore on the surface and coal in immediate contiguity, rich hematte iron ore, and an ex- tensive limestone formation, in which Is found lead, copper, zinc, manganese, etc. Near the capital of the State we have the argentiferous lead mines, so we'll known for the richness of their ore in silver; and valuable granite for nation, with slate of the Talcose and Grau- wacke varieties, some of which may become valuable for roofing and other purposes Con- tiguous to this there is amygdaloid, kaoin, and much useful sand and limestone, including the novaculite, (the celebrated Arkansas whetstone.) In this formation also is found minerals of the precious as well as the useful varieties. Coal exists along the river, which may hereafter be a profitable export on tie road. There is also found, in connection with it, fire and potters clay, building stone of an excellent quality, and rich agllaceous iron ore. Further south the road passes near the formation in which is found argentferous lead, sulphuret, and other ores of copper, with highly valuable magnetic ore.'
 "The entire cost of the road, as per engi- neer's report, with track laid and prepared for business is estimated at S6,373,8 ,8O2, or $21,. 175 per mile, with full equipment of rolling stock, depot buildings, station houses, machine shops, for repairs, etc.
 "The preliminary surveys of your road were extended from our northern boundary. under the Cairo and Fulton railroad company of Mis- souri, by Captain J. s. Williams, as their chief engineer; completed in January last, and ap- proved bv the board of directors of this com- pany.
 "This isa very remarkable line, and will cost about $6OOO per mile less than the Arkansas portion. The total cost is $1 ,l54, 539, or $15,- 925 per mile, with full equipment in every re- spect, as that of the Arkansas division. The president of that company, in his communica- tion to the board, transmitting the report upon the surveys, says T call your attention partl-
