favor of Railroad Companies Are individ-
ual rights, or rather, should not individual
rights be as sacred? The great highways of
the country are open to to all-no one can
commit trespass upon them by going upon
them. If then a Company chooses to obtain
charter and to lay out and construct great
highway and invite persons to travel thereon
by what rule can they afterwards look upon
persons as trespassers for accepting their invl-
tation to use their road as public highway I
We now allude to those instances in which
persons are simply in the act Of accepting the
invitation held out by the Company. e. in
going to and departing from the railroad sta
tions on business connected with the Company
or in travelling upon their road. Can man
be a trespasser where he is by invitation?
When it is considered that railroad Compa-
ny runs its road through community without
let or leave of the people, for its own advantage
and pecuniary interest that it holds out an in
vitation to the community at largeto travel up
on it and to do business with it; and that the
road is unfenced and therefore unprotected, as
individual property must be, in order to sustain
an action of trespass from stock, we can not
comprehend by what rule of justice or equity
persons travelling upon the road or in the act OF
doing business with the road, or stock upon the
road can be looked upon in the light Of tres
passers. Let the Company fence their road
thus putting themselves in position in which
the law which governs the people at large, will
reach and cover them, and then and not till
then will stock be committing trespass by
going upon their road. In no case it seems to
us, can man be deemed treslasser upon the
company when he IS avithin the Irritation e1-
tended to him and to all blythe company them
selves.
But there are many advantages which should
induce these companies to fence their roads
apart, from any such considerations. The COM
parative safety with which they may run their
cars with increased speed is no small consider
alton in itself.
The exemption from delays-from the waste
and injury of accidents caused by leaving their
track exposed, and above all, the freedom from
the malice of those who may feel themselves
injured in having their stock and their range
destroyed by the road, without any or sufficient
compensation, and who may be induced there
by to seek retaliation and revenge. History
and facts show that experience has embraced
it as the best, the wisest, and the safest policy,
and wisdom would dictate its universal adop-
on.-Sumter Watchman.

A GREAT MAN.

Nazarine, thus speaks of President jackson
He was a man Well I remember the day
waited upon him. He sat there in his arm
chair-I can see that old warrior face, with Its
snow white hair, even now. We told him OF
the public distress-the manufacturers ruin

borne at the head of twenty thousand men
into Independence square. He heard us ALL
We begged him to leave the deposits where
they were to uphold the great Bank in Phil
adelphia. Still he did not say a word. At
last one of our members, more fiery than the
rest. intimated that if the Bank were crushed,
rebellion might follow. Then the old man
rose I can see him yet
Come p he shouted in voice of thunder,
as his clutched hand was raised above his
white hairs-eCome with bayonets in your
hands instead of petitions-surround the White
House with your legions, am ready for you

your gold can neither buy nor ave.. ! VIII

how carrying the heights and sweeping through
the pass of Cerro Gordo, no bore the American
eagle successfully through the streets ofJalapa,
Perote and Puebla how defeating the enemy
at Churubusco, Contreras, San Antonio, Cha
ppltepec, and Molino del Rey, he finally enter
ed in triumph the City of Mexico, and was
virtually the conqueror of the country. Thus
was ended that celebrated campaign which
commanded the admiration of the highest liv-
ing military authority of Europe, and the re-
collection of which fills American bosoms with
pride and exultation. 1t was campaign rapid
and complete. 1t established on higher grounds
than ever the reputation of our soldiery; and
unattended by single blunder or omission,
it will stand a lasting evidence of the genius OF
him who planned it.
On the declaration of peace between Mexico
and tho United States, Scott returned home,
and was received with becoming honors He
was afterwards the regularly appointed nominee
of the Whig party for the Presidency; but
being defeated by the Democratic candidate,
in consideration of his services in the Mexican
war, he has recently been invested with the
rank Of Lieutenant General.
Scott is certainly the most scientific General
that our country has ever produced. Nor is
he deficient in any of the requisites Of the
able commander Bold, energetic, prompt,
and skiIlful, he is both t''st and sure. No
halfway measures receive his adoption, but he
seems always to engage in battle prepared for
every emergency, and with well considered
plans. Sclf-conident and sclf-reliant, he not
unfrcquently counts upon victory before it is
won, and cooliy provides for the pursuit.
Physically, Scott is fine specimen of the
soldicr-tall and erect, his personal appearance
is commanding, and his bearing soldiery In
disposition, he is magnanimous, though impet-
uous. OF his vanity much has been said, and
he may or may not be inordinately vain. 1t
We're, however, well, if all liable to such a
charge could point to deeds like his.

AN EXCELLENT LAW.

In Germany "Every rail road company is
bound by law to have double track on their
lines, and no person is allowed to walk on rail
road track at any time, by day or night, under
penalty of the law A barrier of strong planks
is placed along the side of the tracks, to keep
off animals. Every fifteen or twenty miles
along the track there is station for guard
or watchman, who livesin alittle hut beside the
road, and whose businessit is to be at his post,
with red flag in his hand, at the approach of
every train and before the train is due, to
patrol his beat to- see that all is safe, and to re-
move all obstacles which are sometimes placed
upon the track by miscreants In the case of
danger, the guard hoists on telegraph, so cal
led, which stand near each guard house, red
printed 'casket, which can be seen by the en-
gineer great distance, but if everything is
right, the two wooden arms of the telegraph
are stretched in the air. During the night
there is instead of the casket, lantern with a
deep red light placed in the air as a warning
of danger and a common one if all is in a
safe condition. At every crossing there is a
gate, which is locked up as soon as the train is
due, and any one, either on horseback or in a
carriage, who desires to cross, must wait until
the train has passed.
In England the R. R. Companies are COM
PEELED to fence in their roads, and in portions
of our own country atthe North, the roads are
fenced. This arrangement, we look upon, as
anexcellent one and worthy of being adopted
universally. In fact it is nothing more than
doing justice to the community throug Oh which
a road passes and throwing a protection around
the interests Of the Company itself for fencing
the roads. Those interested in the rail road
enterprises of our country-the Stockholders,
the Legislature and the Bench are all inclined
to establish the principle in accordance with
the English decision upon the subject and some
Northern decisions, that the people are trespas-
sers, by their slaves and stock, upon the prop
erty of the Company whenever their slaves and
stock are killed upon their roads.
The English decisions are based upon JUS
tice and equity, because their roads are fenced
and of course when stock is killed upon them
they are there, as trespassers. Inc rallroads
at the North, many of them are in like situa-
tion and of course like decisions, as regard
them, are just and proper, but by what system
of justice our railroad companies can expect
and cur judges give such decisions, we are at
al loss to find. They are manifestly atvariance
with the law by which the people at large are
governed, to say nothing of their being at va
rance with our former decision, which have
looked upon railroads as public highways upon
which in the very nature of things impossible
for one to commit trespass by going upon
them. By the common law Of the country
stock is not committing trespass when it
feeds upon a mans uninclosel land how then
is it committing a trespass when it happens
to feed upon the Railroad Companies uninclo-
sed land? Why this invidious distinction in

Twas clear cold night
When the stars shone bright,
And the snow covered hill and vale,
When two or three young lads
Who were out On a spree,
Went to see old Billy Dale.
Old Billy, queer Billy, droll Billy Dale;
Now the white hairs blossom
On the time honored head
of the queer old Billy Dale!
They frolicked and danced
AS the night advanced,
Till morn made the dark night pale,
Still right in the middle
OF the room, with the fiddle,
Sat the Jolly old Billy Dale,

Old Billy could sing
Like bird in the Spring,
Or could tella frst-rate tale
And if anything went wrong,
1t would not be long,
Till turned right by old Billy Dale,

HaS never grown chilly,
Tho his voice is beginning to fail;
And if you want song,
You need not wait long,
If you call on old Billy Dale,

May his snow-white head
Ne'cr rest with the dead;
But should this prayer ever fail,
May the angels above,

PRESERVING BUTTER.-The farmers of
Aberdeen, Scotland, are said to practise the
following method of curing their butter, which
gives it a great superiority over that of their
neighbors: Take two quarts of the best COM
mon salt, one ounce of sugar, and one ounce
of common saltpetre take one ounce of this
composition to one pound of butter, work it
we'll into the mass, and close it up for use
The butter cured with this mixture appears
of a morrowy consistency, and fine color, and
never acquires brittle hardness or tastes sal
ty. DR.. Anderson says: i have eaten but
ter cured with the above composition, that has
been kept for three years, and it was as sweet
as at first. 1t must be noted, however, that
butter thus cured required to stand three
weeks or a month before it is used. If it is
sooner opened, the salts are not sufficiently
blended with it, and sometimes the coldness
of the nitre will be perceived, which totally
disappears afterwards.

A NOBLE ANSWER.

When Louis Napoleon, before he had vio-
lated his oath of fidelity to the French repub-
lie, reviewed the troops encamped at Sartory,
Horace Vernet, the great military painter Of
France, was commissioned to paint the scene,
and did so, introducing General Lomoriciere,
Cavaignac and other distinguished republican
generals who were on the field. After he had
overthrown the republic, Master Louis sent
for Vernet, one day, and pointing to the por-
traits of the noble republicans, said in the
most peremptory mannner,-'Remove these
traits of the noble republicans, remove these
men, Sir replied the noble artist, Il am
painter of history, and cannot do itp Of
course, after this bold speech, Vernet fell in
to disgrace but he was too great man to be
sent to Cayenne, or driven into exile, and af-
ter a lapse of time, the emperor sent for him,
and treated him with the respect his greatness of
soul deserved. 'Flaneur,' the brilliant cor.
respondent of the Boston Post relates the above
anecdote and also the following lone morn
ing, in crossing Rude la Dauphine, driving
spirited horse in tilbury, Vernet ran against
a cart laden with stones, and broke the shaft
of his vehicle. A sign painter, engaged close
by in painting some sausages on butchers
shop, recognised the renowned artist, rushed
to aid in mending the shaft The master Of
the tilbury slipped piece Of gold into the
painters hand. what Vernet from broth

don. How then can I show my gratitude p
Give me stroke of your pencil. shall be

to the ladder and scahold. Willingly OBJ
served Horace, and scrambling up the ladder,
he soon finished the most tempting string in
the world, and to this day, as during the last
fifty years, they are said to attract all passers
by."--Bdlou's Pictorial
