RAILROAD MANAGEMENT In GERMANY.-A CORES
pendent of the N. Y. Sun gives an interesting ac-
count of the manner railroads managed in Ger
many:
Every railroad company is bound by law to have
double track their lines, and no person is al
lowed to walk railroad track at any time, by
day or night, under penalty of the law. A barrier,
consisting of two strong plank, is placed along the
side of the tracks, to keep off animals Every fifteen
twenty miles along the track there is station
for guard or watchman, who lives in little hut
beside the road, and whose business it is to be at
his post with red flag in his hand at the approach
of every train; and before the train is due patrol
his beat to see that all is safe and to all OBJ
stacles which sometimes placed upon the track
by miscreants. In the case of danger, the guard
hoists telegraph, so called, which stands near
each guard house, red painted cnscet' which can
be seen by the engineer great distance; but if
everything is right, the two wooden of the tel
egraph stretched in the air. During the night
there is instead of the cascet, lantern with deep
red light placed in the air as warning of danger
and common enc if all is in a. safe condition. AT
every crossing there is gatc which is locked up as
soon train is due, and any one, either horse
back or in carriage, who desires cross must wait
until the train has passed"
Some such regulations would not come amiss in
this country.

TIE DESTINY OF kANSAS-PoPULAR SOVEREIGNTY
TIE TRUE DoCTRINE-We were not, in the outset,
of the impression that slavery would go to Kansas
or that the South anticipated such consequence of
the repeal of the odious Missouri Compromise and
the application of the popular sovereignty doctrine
to that Territory; and that impression has not at
any time been shaken by transporting events. We
lamented-and what patriotic northern citizens did
not lament ?-the organized efforts of abolitionism
to transport its adherents and its hercsies to Kan
sas, not only because it unprecedented and
unwarranted interference in the local concerns of
independent people, but because 1T was certain to
provoke cOunter-nterferencc in more of the
southern States, the event of which must be coils
ion. Predictions have been verified. Collisions
have occurred which regretted, we hope, alike
in the North and the South. But these collisions,
whichever party prove the VICTOR cannot change
the destiny of Kansas. Whether the propagandists
of abolition the propagandsts Of slavery present
ly succeed, eventually the question of slavery will
be determined by those great overriding causes
which fix the institutions of every people. Even
tuay Kansas herself will speak for herself, and her
voice will be potential If slavery will best subservc
her interests and advance her prosperity she will
have it, is her right; if freedom, she will have
that
The question of slavery has now assumed that
simple, tangible form, that all men act upon it
understandingly. There is but issue in respect
to it, and that is this plain Shall the people of
each Territory and State act for themselves, shall
Congress act for them? The democratic doctrine
dvests Congress of all power in the premises, and
trusts the people, HANDS OFF is the watchword-
Neutrality-suspicious. by Congress, by Massachusetts,
or by Missouri. Leave the whole matter in the
hands of the people. We can confide in the people,
They will do right. The abolition doctrine is the
of this. 1t disrusts the people, and asserts
the power of Congress, just as a small party in the
revolution asserted the power of tn. British Parlia
ment
We can see that the democratic doctrine is rapid
ly working its way to the popular heart 1t will be-
come the doctrine of the country and the day on
which it is inaugurated will be happy one. The
disturbing subject of slavery will have been forever
disposed Of We shall hear more of disunion.-
The different sections of the great confederacy will
act in glorious harmony, and this republic now the
most powerful the world ever saw, will march for
ward in the fulflment of its mighty destiny.

YELLOW FEVER New misunderstanding to
a statement in the New Orleans Delta, the new dis
covery of incubation protection against yellow

the New Orlea Medical and Surgical journal says
that after the most searching Investigation there ap
pears to be an entire unanimity of opinion, both
among the eontagionsts and ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS, that
the yellow fever of the present year originated in
New Orleans and that all the earlier as well as the
later cases occurred among persons who had not
been in any manner exposed to the fever in foreign
recently read an address Before the Academy Of
Sciences in that city on the subject of yellow fever,
in which he maintained the local origin of the dis
ease there, and asserted that some of the authorities
and newspapers of the city have wrought great in
Jury to the business of the town by opposing this
doctrine and thus preventing the adoption of proper
remedial measures
