UosrIrAL OF Sr. JOSEPH,
.s-.. st. Paul, March &c, 1856.
SIR THE number of your paper for the
22d inst, has been showed me just now.
deem it proper to comply with your request,
in stating that correct record is kept at
our Hospital of all the paupers consigned to
our care, and of the length Of time they
were under our charge. We shall exhibit
at any time this record to any one calling for
its exhibition.
Of the diseases of the patients, the Physi-
clan may give an account.
During the course of the whole year 1855,
sixty-eight patients were admitted into our
Hospital at the charge of the County; some
STAYED one week, and others six months, ac-
cording to their diseases, and order of their
Physician.
AS some ill-meaning person would con-
clude from your article that large sum OF
money has been paid us for our ST. ,623.5O,
exclusive of 2,777.26-we declare that we
have not received cent above the first sum
mentioned, neither in money nor provisions ;
and we think our charges moderate for at
tending day and night on those patients,
considering our pay was in Comfy orders.
1t will be qualification for us to receive
gratuitously, or at a low price, many patients
when the Hospital shall have received char
liable donations.
With respect,
- SISTER SERAPiiINE.

BALTIMORE, March 10.
The mail train from Philadelphia, which
left at ii O'Clock last night for this city, has

ing loss of life, which may or may not have
arisen from the collision at Oberlin. 1t is
impossible to ascertain the fact.
FURTHER.-Two freight trains came into
collision last night at Oberlin near Havre de
Grace, Oh the Baltimore Railroad, smashing
several cars and killing the fireman and en-
gineer.

SENATE.-The Senate took up and passed
the Military Academy appropriation bill.
Mr.. Clayton then proceeded to finish bis
remarks on Central American affairs. He
stated on the authority Of Mr.. Vanderbilt,
President of the Transit Company, that there
had never been any act On the Part of that
Company which in any manner encouraged
Walkers invasion of Nicaragua.
The seizure was made on the ground that
the Company was indebted to Nicaragua, and
desired such Indebtedness, and refused to
submit the matter to the award of arbitra-
tors. These charges are utterly false.
HousE-Mr. Bowie spoke against Mr..
Reeder's position in the Kansas case, and
against granting the Committee power to
send for persons and papers:
Mr.. Ackerrnah then proceeded to close the
debate on the resolution.

HORACE MANN ON SLAvERY.-H Horace
Mann delivered the first lecture of the Anti
Slavery course at Boston, and said: .
"Jesus Christ himself cannot, south OF
Mason and Dixon have a hearing, unless he
submits to sort of Missouri Compromise,
and adapts his teaching to his latitude. Thus
when the shareholders find no comfort in the
New Testament, they turn to the old book
for aid, but here they are met with but little
encouragement. They can there read the
first great Abolitionist, "Moses," who ran
two million of slaves at one jump, gathering
them out of Egypt and carrying them to the
promised land. He, indeed, was slave
runner, and should have been now alive to
be the Conductor of the Underground Rail-
road. This same incident, also, said he,
furnishes an example of the manner in which
hunters should be served. Look at the fate
of Pharaoh, and you find how the God of
hosts executed his justice upon them. Thus
he held that the Old Testament, so often
alluded to by the slave advocates, gives no
comfort"

THE LOST TELEGRAPH CABLE-The Lon
don Shipping Gazette of February Is, con-
tains letter from Cyrds W. Field, Esq, OF
New York, now in London, announcing his
failure to procure settlement of the COM
pany's claim on the London underwriters for
the loss of their electric cable, which oc-
Cured last summer, after forty-fou miles Of
it had been submerged between Newfound-
land and Breton Island, Nova Scotia, in con-
sequence of storm that compelled the
Captain to cut the cable in order to save the
vessel in which it was embarked. Mr.. Field
saws that one of the underwriters told him
"there was no loss, the cable being at the
bottom of the sea, just where you a0is'sed to
put it," Mr.. Field has ordered the prepare
ton of new cable, which proves that the
difficulties encountered in the laying OF the
first cable are not considered insuperable
When it is laid, the two continents will be
brought within five days communication Of
each other.
