ENDORSING COMPANY BoNDs.-The follow
lug remarks on the endorsement of Bonds of
Railroad Companies are taken from the ed.
itora columns of the Nashville Patriot Of
the Oath ult. The bill subsequently passed
its third reading in the House:
The bill to authorize the Governor to en-
dorse in the name Of the State, the bonds of
the East Tennessee and Georgia, and the
Nashville and Chattanooga Railroad Compa-
MES, to an amount not exceeding 100000
each, to be applied exclusively to the con.
struction of branch road from Cleveland to
Chattanooga, came up for consideration in
the House of Representatives on Tuesday
afternoon. On motion of Mr.. Harris, of
Washington, the bill was amended so as to
authorize the Governor to endorse, in the
name of the State, the bonds Of the East
Tennessee andVirgiaia Railroad Company, to
an amount not exceeding 100000.
The ground uponwhich the first endorse
ment is asked, is that the proposed road is
link of about thirty niles, which is necessary
to connect all the railroads bearing eastward
ly from the Mississippi river, through the
western and middle portions of the State,
with the line through East Tennessee and
Virginia, to the eastern and northeastern
cities OF the Union; and, indeed, to Charles
ton, South Carolina, by connection via
Athens and Madsonvile, with the Rabun
Gap or Blue Ridge Railroad of South Caro-
lima.
The two companies which have undertaken
the construction of>this important link, rep
resent that they have no money or other
available means which they can apply to it,
and hence they ask an endorsement of their
bonds by the State, with which they can
accomplish the work.
The illiberal course pursued by the State
of Georgia towards the people of this State
who have had produce or merchandise
shipped over her road, has rendered tho con-
struction of this link very desirable to large
proportion of our citizens, and this desire has
not been without its influence upon their
representatives.

Men who had been loyal to their constitution.

But whatever opinions may be entertained Of

erty of communities.
Those who wander from the place of their
birth, lay the foundation of new States and
endure all hardships and privatons OF infant
settlements, merit the right of making their
own laws for the government of their homes
and fresides. They can appreciate their ne.
cessities and interests. better than their for.
mer associates, whom they have left at
great distance behind them. All Territories
wherever situate, are open TO free compet.
ton Of institution; there is no longer any
line to check expressly, or by implication, tho
establishment of such legislation as is con-
genial TO the habits of the people. And the
time will probably soon come when very few
will desire the restoration Of that line and
an end will be put to the constant and
bitter conflict Of opinion arising from that
subject.

The FRUITS OF WAR.-The Albany Eve.
Journal publishes list of the battles fought
during the year 1855, with tho number of
people killed at each, beginning with the
bombardment of Shanghai by the French, at
which one hundred fell and ending with the
fall of Kars at which two thousand six hun
bred fell; by which list lit appears that seventy
three battles have occurred during the year,
or more than one for each week, with an ay.
erage loss of over thousand men killed in
each. This list does not include those who
have fallen by disease, or in skirmishes, nor
the wounded, disabled, those who have died
in the hospital or the ambulance, or were ir-
reparably maimed, or missing, or prisoners
The amount left dead usually comprises only
about one-fourth of the entire loss in battle.
BY this rule, the entire number swept out Of
useful existence by the wars of 1855, must
have reached over three hundred thousand
men. No year has presented so bloody a
record, since Waterloo.

SPECIAL MEssAGE.-The President Of the
United States sent to the Senate on the oath
message detailing the unhappy condition of
affairs in the Territory Of Kansas, and asking
the necessary action to enable him properly
to execute the laws, which was received and
read, commanding marked attention. The
message was also sent to the House, and was
laid on the table until an organization could
be effected.
In this message the President refers to the
somewhat alarming condition of affairs in
the Territory of Kansas; recites the Irregular
titles and wrongdoings of the parties engaged
on both sides of the sectional questonand his
understanding Of the duty prescribed for him

asks an appropriation to enable him to carry the
laws into execution and provide against future
agitation.

Massachusetts would be represented at il;

rR-We learn that parties III Georgia, who
have been engaged in the Wheat trade in
this section, are complaining loudly against
the management of the East Tennessee and
Georgia Railroad on account of their inability
to get forward freights. There has been
standing in our columns for some time an
advertisement from the Superintendent of
Transportation, proposing to csrry all freight
that may be offered to Daltor, if the shipping
parties will make arrangements or agree to
receive their freights at that point. There the
East Tennessee and Georgia Company are at
the end of their rails, and have no control
beyond that point. The Company have am
pie equipments of their own to clean gut
every depot on their line in eighteen or
twenty days, and would gladly do so, as it is
certainly the interest and wish Of the man.
agement to make the road do all the work
possible. y little reflection and investigation
would convince our Georgia friends that the
main difficulty is nearer home.
