The Pacific Railroad Plank

ResolOed, That the Democratic party re-
cognizes the great Importance in a political
and commercial point of view, ola safe and
speedy communication through our own ter
ritory between the Atlantic and Pacific coasts
of this Union; and that it is the duty of the
Federal Government to exercise promptly, all
its constitutional power for the attainment of
that subject, thereby binding the union of
the States in indissolube bonds, and opening
to the rich commerce of Asia an overland
transit from the Pacific to the Mississippi
river and the great lakes of the north.
The motion to lay the above resolution on
the table, was lost by-ayes, II; noes, 22o.
A motion was then made to suspend the
rules. Tho resolution was read, and Petit
wanted the word proper inserted before con-
stitutional power, and was laughed at and
cheered, and perhaps the word got in under
the cloud of confusion informally. The vote
on suspending the rules stood-ayes, 2oS;
noes, SO.
When the announcement was made that
the rules we're suspended, the cheering was
tumultuous. Col. 1nge, Of California, who
had fought so galantly and ably for the Pa
chic Railroad clause in Committee and in the

AN INDIAN BURIAL GRoUND.-A
burial place Of great apparent antiquity
has recently been discovered on a hill
near the Atlantic House, at the head
of Nantasket beach. Some forty OF
fifty ~depressions Of the earth were first
remarked directly by the roadside, in
close proximity, and one or two Of
them being dug into from motives Of
curiosity, human skeletons were dis
covered. Onthe fourth of July aparty
Of scientific gentlemen proceeded to
the spot and excavated several of the
graves, in each of which was found a
human skeleton in a sitting posture,
more or less perfect, and near itholloB
stones, cups, stone pestles, and other
relics, such as are commonly found in
Indian mounds. The place is sup
bosed to have been usedfor burial pur-
poses by some tribe who passed away
long before the advent of the pale
faces, and of whomno trace or tradition
now remains among men.-Bosto1

Singular FREAK OF LIGHTNTNG.-
The NesV Orleans Picayune records
the following strange freak Of light
ming:
As an evidence Of the fact, "that
there is many a slip between the cup
and the lip, we may state that one Of
the convivial party assembled at Dan
HickoRs, when the storm was at its
height, was just in the act of putting
a brandy smash to his lips, when the
electric fluid came down the chimney.
The imbiber was struck by the mysteri-
ous visitant, and, as it ran down his
arms to his fingers ends, it sent that
conductor Of spirits, but non-conauctor
Of electricity-the tumbler--about
twenty feet from the lips that already
had opened in welcome to its contents.
Whether the strange fight of the glass
was looked upon as a hint that he who
held it was about to take "a glass toe
much" we have not learned.
