THE KINGw0oD TUNNEL UPON THE BALTI
MORE AND OHIO RAILWAY.

This tunnel is 2G0 miles from Baltimore and
ll9 miles east of Wheeling. 1t is seven miles
west of the romantic valley of the Cheat river,
and some nineteen miles east of Grafton, the
junction of the Northwestern or Parkersburg
Railroad. Its length, with two heavy approach
cuts, is above 5000 feet, or say one mile. The
tunnel proper is 4, 100 feet long.
The greatest height of the ridge over the
tunnel is about 220 feet. 1t is cut through
slate rock, and is overlaid for a considerable
distance with good limestone roof For the
remaining portion of its length, the roof has
been supported by timbering, preliminary to the
final arching. The original width of the OPEN
ing was % feet The necessity of preparing
for double track, however, with the heavy
side walls for sustaining the arch, required that
the opening should be widened throughout its
entire length. This is done by cutting away
from three to four feet upon each side, making
the excavation twenty-eight feet in width. The
side walls are built of solid masonry laid in &C.
ment. They are two feet wide, and ten feet
high above the tracks. This will reduce the
width, when finished, to twenty-four feet. OF
the LOO feet of tunnel, it is supposed that not
more than three thousand feet will require
arching, the limestone at the western end being
sufficiently solid to sustain ITSELF

BAYARD TAYLOR's NEW BOOK.

VISIT TO INDIA, CHINA, AND JAPAN in the year 1853 BY
Bayard Taylor New York g. p Putuum x Co.. 10
Park Place New York.
We have only room this week to announce
that this book will in few DAYS make its an.
pearance, the unbound sheets having been sent
us by the publishers. 1t is small octave of
i've hundred and odd pages, with two elegant
illustrations. The reputation of Mr.. Taylor as
tourist and the interesting nature of the sub
Ject will secure for the work a ready introduc-
ton to the public. Having read several of the
authors letters to the New York Tribune during
this tour, the substance of which are embodied
in this work, we can cordially commend it to
the public taste We propose at another time
to give to the readers of the Era some of Mr..

be underbid by negroes, or to work side by side
with Them"
We know that an unjust prejudice exists,
among white men, against black men; but the
prejudice against working by the side of black
slaves is still stronger and better founded. 1t
is this prejudice which operates so injuriously
to the welfare of Virginia, where the labor of
black slaves is brought into degrading compe-
tition with that of white freemen. We have
for years protested against this injustice to the
free laboring class of the South; and it is some
thing that an influential Pro-Savery paper, like
the Enquirer, has come to admit the magnitude
of the evil. There can be no longer any con-
troversy on that point at least. But for this
degrading competition, Richmond would to-day
vie with Philadelphia in wealth and population,
Norfolk would rival New y ork, and all over the
broad and bountifnl surface of Virginia there
would be sprinlled Rochesters, Butfalos, SYRIA
cuses, and Pittsburghs. C.

WISCONSIN REPUBLICAN CONVENTION.

The Know Nothing organ in this city lately
announced that the Republicans were over
thrown in the recent State Convention held at
Madison, in Wisconsin, on the 9Th alt. But
the Milwaukee Free Democrat of the 9th con-
talns report of the proceedings of the Con-
vention, which shows just the contrary, viz ::
the triumph of Republicanism over the Ma
tive " element. The following resolution was
adopted unanimously:
Resotred, That the fundamental principles
OF the republican party are based upon the
equal rights OF all men, that those principles
are utterly hostile to the prescription of any
one on account OF birthplace, religion, or color;
and that this Convention is opposed to all Sc
cret political organizations which favor such
prescription, or adopt secret measures. and
take upon themselves obligations inconsistent
with the Republican faith, and with fair and
honest action as members of the Republican
party"
The following ticket was then nomjaated:
|" For GoUeyn0r-Coles Bashford. If Winnie
bago county.
" For Lieut.. Gocernoy- Charles s. Sholes. of
kenosha county.
" For Secretary Of .State-Samue D. Has
tings, of La Crosse county.
For 1ttormey General-Alexander W. RAN
dali, of Waukesha county"
The editors of the Free Democrat remark:
" The Republican Convention at Madison
passed off as tremendously as we could have
wished. All the members agreed that Free
dom or Slavery was the paramount issue, and
the issue that must be made and met at the
coming elections.
Whatever our past preferences may have
been, 1t behooves us now, as true Republicans,
to labor earnestly for the success of lur ticket
If this is done, as we feel it will be, $ triumph
ant success awaits the glorious caus,, of Free
dom in our gallant Badger State"

oftener meet in real life than in books. show
powers capable of higher things even than Pc

now out OF print.
50 1t has made its mark on our literature with
a distinctness and depth which has not as vet
been acknowledged. Whoever has read the

original OF their style of conception and tone of
thought is 10 be found in the peregrinations of
the invincible Peter. We commenced. howey.
er' with the intention of speaking a word re-
garding the author, rather than his works. His
name is George Wood. He is native of Mas
sachusetts, but has been a resident for many
years of the city of Washington He has had
rare opportunities for seeing life in all its var
eiles, and has ever been shrewd and attentive
observer OF men, and most industrious student
OF DOCKS We have never met a man who
knew American society, in the most compre-
hensive sense OF the term, so well as Mr.. Wood
Few persons combine in the same degree the
powers and habits of the recluse, student. and
the man of the world.
Though the truest Of friends and the most
catholie-spirited and genial of men. he has no
reverence OF idols, whether they be of the
den, the market, or the theatre He scents
sham as quick as Carlyle, and demolishes
pretension as numerically as Thackeray, while
true worth and genuine convictions are always
respected. We are happy to learn that Mr..
Wood has now in the press of Phillips, Sampson,
Co., oil Boston, new work, to be called the
Modern Pilgrims He proposes to show the
newest method Of travel, and the shortest routes
Tor reaching the Celestial City, lie shows
that the old route of John Bunyan has been
improved by modern philosophers and doctors,
and that the modern pilgrim is put through
without any of the impediments that beset so
sorely the dr0R,0tis perSOAtc of the stanch old
puritan. Judging from the previous writings
OF the author, we have high expectations from
thus new work, and predict for il a wide and
delighted circle of readers. 1t will be issued
during the next month, in two volumes, in the
best style of the enterprising house which has
taken IT IN hand. The track pursued will be an
entirely new one, though the subject matter
will still he satire and criticism of American
life and manners, such as they show themselves
amid the stir and movement of the passing
hour. In common with thousands who know
the author, and his power as writer, we saw

Declaration, Platform, and Constitution
REPUBLICAN ASSOCIATION
WASHINGTON DISTRICT OF COIJIURIt

Whereas, by the repeal Of the eighth section
OF the act for the admission Of Missouri into
the Union, the Territories of Kansas and Ne
braska have been opened to the introduction Q
Slavery, and all the compromises, real or i'm
aginary, upon that subject, are thus viol:lte,l
aud annulled, and deep dishonor inflicted upon
the age in which we live:
Now, therefore, IN cooperation with all those
throughout the land who oppose this and other
similar measures, which we deem to be con-
trary to the spirit of the Constitution, and
which are designed 30 extend and perpetuate
Slavery, we do associate ourselves together,
under the name and title Of
The Republican Association of Washington, D. C.
Aud we adopt the following as our political
Platform, to wit:
FIEsT. That Congress possesses no power
over the institution of Slavery in the several
States; but that, outside of State jurisdiction,
the constitutional power of the Federal Gov
ernment should be exerted to secure LIFE, LIB
ERTY, and HAPPINESS, to all men: and there
fore,
SECOND. There should be neither Slavery
nor involuntary servitude, except for the pun
ishment Of crime, in any of the Territories Of
the United States.
THIRD. The People are the rightful source
of all political power; and all officers should,
as far as practicable, he chosen by direct vote
of the People.

should be men of undoubted integrity and So

BOSTON, sept 10, 1855.
TO the Editor the National Era:
l have thought, each week, since the nser.
ton in your columns of an article from the non
of Mrs. S. G. Hall, of England, headed "D,
Clarke" to see from some quarter a correctior
of the errors of that article. So far as tLcv
related merely to Mrs. DIR. Clarke, they wpra
not so important in themtelves, perhaps, as f.,
need any special correction; but wherein ,hev
were unintentionally unjust to others, or Gale.
lated to convey wrong impression as to the
origin and progress of the medical educatior
OF woman III this country. it is right and i'm
portant that correction OF them should 0.
made, as public as the errors have been.
To commence with the gravest of them:
Mrs. DIR. Clarke was by no means " the Er.
woman" in this country who entered upop
medical education and life More than twer,r
years since, as an autobiography soon to /.
published will attest, and as is well known =,
large classes Of its best citizens, Harriet
Hunt, Of Boston, entered upon a practice ~
that city of her birth, which has been both
successful and remunerative one, after hayjr,
awaited herself, with great fidelity, Of an n.
means at her command, toward a thorough elr
cation, and having made a final and fruitlr>
effort to secure the advantages of a colle0i:.a
course at Harvard. She has since receive
recognition, and degree, from a liberal Penn
sylvania college, which degree she values. In,
holds as secondary altogether to the posit,1
and consideration earned by her own carries,
efforts.
Subsequently, Elizabeth Blackwell, q woma.
of rare gifts and strength of mind, obtai,,l
admission to the college at Geneva, New Yo-,.
and was the first woman ever admitted Ia !,
regular course of study, and honored with tb.
usual college degree. She is now successfully
prosecuting the profession of her choice in H..
city Of New York
Since these, sister of Miss b. and Mr.,
Clarke have been admitted, and graduated with
honor, at the Alopathic Medical COLLEGE O..
Cleveland, Ohio; and numerous others a, H..
various colleges in Chicago. Cincinnati. and
elsewhere, and the female colleges in Ph.!a,lr
phia and Boston, and through the liberali,y
of these colleges, and the demand for woman,
practice, the work goes rapidly forward.
/ make these corrections from no desire.
deSpoil Mrs. Clarke of any one wellearnJ
laurel. My JOY in the commemorate cilos,
and the success Of all true women is too gre.
and genuine for that, but simply for the sa.
OF justice and historic truthfmess
