ENGLISH RAILwAYs.-English railways rep
resent capital Of G9s6,Oooooo. They are
5000 miles long, and have 2,500 siations.-
Their working gives employment to 10000
persons. Thoy conveyed last year lll,Ooo,-
900 of passengers, and the trade in merchan-
disc and minerals upon them will now amount
to 100000 tons per week. To work them
6OOO locomotive engines, 100000 wagons
and 10000 passenger vehicles are required
Their locomotives represent force equal to
that of 1850 900 horses; and if all the yehi.
cles working were put together, end to end,
they would reach from the Channel to the
Scottish border, or at least 400 miles. e

A REPLY.-Judge Williamson, or three.
legged Willie, as he was famiarly called,
was one of the early judgers Of Texas. On
a certain occasion the judge concluded the
trial of man for murder by sentencing him
to be hung that very day. A petition was
Immediately signed by the bar jury and peo-
pie, praying that longer time might be grant
ed to the poor prisoner. The judge replied
to the petition that the man had been found
guilty, the jai! was unsafe, and besides the
Jail was so uncomfortable that the man ought
not to be required to stay there any longer
than was necessary. The man was hung.

THE POST.
ATHENS, FRIDAY, JAN. s5, 1856.

FREIGHT on THa WESTERN AND ATLANTIC Rail
RoAD-The Chattanooga Advertiser has the
following:
We were informed few days since that the
superintendent of this road had reduced the
high rates of freight over his road, in justice
to Tennessee Now, to be plain about the
matter there has been no reduction in justice
to Tennessee. The reverse is true. In an ad
vertisement by the superintendent in our pa
per, the public are informed, that except on
cotton, ,cheat, corn -four and stock, the charges
would be those OF August 1854; that is, ex-
espt on the natural products of the country,
merchandise and the like will be carried at
old rates. Those exceptions make up the
great staples of Tennessee, which are charged
enormous rates on this road--the like has not
existed for years before.

r3y- The Bucnos Ayres Tribune, of the
second of November, announces in extra
another desperate fight between the Indians
and the government troops. The action took
place on the 29th of October, near Tapolque'
General HIornos had under his command 1000
cavalry, $50 infantry, and two pieces Of ar'il'
lery.
The Indians numbered 5000 men. Soon
after the battle was commenced, the militia
composing large part OF the force under
General Hornos, became disorganized, and
all efforts to reduce them to reform were
useless. This occasoned great loss-iiity
men being killed and wounded, including a
chief and four officers. General Hornos was
thcreupon obliged to retire to neighborlng
fort.

eB- London is now the greatest city in the
world, and far surpasses all the great cities
of antiquity. According to Gibbon, the pop
ulaton Of ancient Rome in the height of its
magni6cence, was 100000; Ninevah is esti
mated to have had 100000; and Dr.Medhurst
supposes that the population of Pekin is
about 100000. The population of London,
according to recent statistics, amounts to
5OO,OOO-4l4,722 having been added to it
during the last ten years. The census shows
that it contains about 3O7,722 inhabited, and
l6,3S9 inundated houses.

FALSE MoRALlTY.-There is wisdom in the
following advice of the Rev. Sydney Smith;
"Never teach false morality. How exquisite
ly absurd to tell girls that beauty is of no
value, and dress of no use. Beauty is of val
ue-her whole prospects and happiness of life
may often depend upon n new gown or be-
coming bonnet and II she has a grain of
common sense she will find this out. The
greatest thing is to teach their just value; and
that there must be something better under
the bonnet than pretty face for real happi-
ness. But never sacrifice truth"

but there ought to be an end to such efforts
when their fruits are seen to be increased
vice and depravity in the objects sought to be
benefited.
Notwithstanding, then, the paterna and
earnest spirit of the Commissioner of Indian
Affairs, and his humane suggestions looking
to the civilization of the Indians, we submit
to Congress whether there should not be an
entire change in our federal policy toward
them They should be regarded as a perma.
nent tax upon the United States-they
should be protected, cared Cor, and, as far as
possible, provided against want, and especial
ly against the too harsh encroachments of
our people; but this silly effort to raise them
TO the dignity of American citizens, 20 intro
duce them TO the arts of civilization, to imbue
them with the spirit Of Christianity should
cease. We should regard them as they are
AS more than two hundred years of inter.
course with them have proved them to be
better off, more virtuous and, pOssble,more
humane when utterly separated fiVm us than
when brought into contact with US. Our sin
is not half so great in relieving thep of their
lands, as through the cprrupting influence of
annual annuities, in degrading and Posttui-
ing them by our contact with them. Money
is their great curse-it is the bait which nva-
riably draws to them swarm of selfish, hid
eous robbers and low debased vilaR, who
with poison in head, heart and hand, infect
the poor Indians; steal from them, debauch
their women, and sow the seeds of permanent
evil wherever they 90. We are-qut' tired of
these unnual bulletins from Washington ex-
pressing strong hopes ofthe future,pd remark
able only forneglecting to state the true causes
of the degradation of the Indian races, which
in truth are to be found in the cruel policy of
the federal Union itself

WASHINGTON RUMoRs.-The New York
Courier's Washington correspondent tele-
graphs:
1t is rumored that the President is anxious
for an organization, because he has special
war message to communicate.
The Journal of Commerce correspondent
also telegraphs:
If rumors prove true, things are taking n
shape in relation 20 our controversies with
Great Britain, that looks u little more warlike
than even the message or Senatorial oratlons
would represent. 1t is said that since the
message was written, advices have been re-
ceved from Mr.. Buchanan, with certain cor
respondence respecting the'enlstment ques'
ton, which puts the two parties in very me-
nacing attitude toward each other.
These additional dispatches will not proba-
bly, be communicated to Congress until the
House shall organize, and they may not make
so serious an impression as has been made by
the facts already transpired.
Another step towards move is about to
be taken, by the ratification of the Nicara-
guan treaty, which recognizes the claims OF
that State to the Mosquito coast and coun'
try; and in effect therefore is guarantee oil
the title to the limits by her claimed.

SLEEP.-A high medical authority, Pro-
fessor Humpland, says that, so far MS exter-
nal life is concerned, sleep is no less neces-
sary for its duration than its health. With.
out the proper amount Of sleep, the vital
energy is dried up and withered, and we
waste away MS a tree would, deprived of the
sap that nurishes it. The physical effects
of sleep are, that it retards all the vital
movements, collects the vital power and
restores what has been lost in the course Of
the day, and separates us from what is use
less and pernicious. 1t is, as it were, dali
" crisis, during which all the secretions are
performed in the greatest tranquility and per-
iection.

WHAT THE RUSSIANS THINK oFPEACE.-A
letter from st. Petersburg to he Vienna
Press says:
"Do not allow yourself to be I'D astray by
the rumors OF peace which still iid their way
into the newspapers, the war viii be carried
on next spring with great energy No secret
is made Of it in government circes here, and
the diplomatic agents of Russia at neutral
courts have been instructed to tke care and
prevent those courts from mixing themselves
up in the war. Notwithstanding the unds.
posed success of Gen. Canrobdrt's mission,
Russia has not abandoned all hope of gaining
her end at Stockholm.
"Sweden and Denmark have merely pledged
themselves to the Western Powers TO OBJ
serve friendly neutrality, and not until
France and England shall have achieved de.
csive results in the Baltic can they expect
mora from the scandinavian powers. Here
we are thoroughly prepared for fresh expe-
dition of the Bait'G Heet, nor DOVE dread IL
in the least, being convinced that Cronstadt is
stronger than Sebastopol. The Emperor has
been very active since his return from the
Crimea, and there is talk of great reforms
which he intends to make in the army and the
State, in order to remedythe disorders of the
past"

The ARCTIC REGIoN.-It is impossible,
from anything we are yet in possession Of
to form an opinion as to what exists be-
yond the parallel of 80 degrees 80 north,
or beyond that of eighty degrees Of latitude
south.
The north magnetic pole has been dscov-
cred and examined-it is elevated but little
above tide, in lat. about 70 deg. N, long.
about SO deg. w. The magnetic pole of the
Antartc has not been reached, for it is
walled in by ice and is situated in lofty
mountains not yet explored; IFS position,
however is further from the equator than
the north magnetic pole, and is in the vi
cinity of two lofty mountains, in which vol
canoes are in AN nctise state at an elevation
of more than ten thousand feet above the
sea.
The atmosphere of the Arctic is unlike our
atmosphere. Lieut.. Parry, when on Melville
Island in the winter of lSl9.2O, lat. about rs
deg. NJ, long. about Iii deg. W., says: awe
had frequent occasion, in our walks on shore,
to mark the deception which takes place in
estimating the distance and magnitude of OBJ
jects when viewed over an unvaricd snrface
of snow. 1t was not unusual for us to direct
our steps towards what was taken to be Il
large mass of stone at the distance of half
a mile, but which we were able to take up in
our hand after one minutes walk. This was
more particularly the case when ascending
the brow of hill nor did we find that the
deception became less Oh account Of the fire.
