dollars Tor their two years in Congress, or to
divide it equally between the long and the
short session, giving three thousand dollars

thrty-two dollars a day for the short term,
and not quite so much for the long session.

was the first day Of December, and adjourn

the short sessions, would amount to little

How much bribery and corruption canno,
these pretended lovers Of the people carry
on, with their seven miles square Of public
lands Tor their votes, and their 500 per day

it is to end. And these great pretended
lovers OF the people, have no doub, were
the legitimate offspring Of some caucus NOM
ination, where many batter man who
would scorn to stoopto such dirty work were
excluded, and stood no earthly chance for
success. If the people will rouse up from
their lethargy, and show themselves to be

tivity in the matter of national Improve
ments, particularly in the construction OF
Railroads. The ROAD now in process of con-
struction across the northern portion of the
Florida peninsula has heen graded for dis
tance of SO miles, and the rails laid 10 miles.
The entire work is being pressed forward
with energy. This railwa:y is designed to
form part of the line of Intercourse and
trade between the ports on the Gulf of Nexi-
co and those of the Atlantic coast, 1t cross
es the northern neck of tbs Peninsula, and
will save the risk and loss. of time consequent
upon the hazardous voyage around the

1850 miles north of that parallel to find the

found in the parallel of Washington on the
Atlantic! The winters of Sitka, even, which
is 20 deg. north of Washington, are aoGrmer
than that of that city-the mean tempera-

is so much modified on the Pacific, the heat
of the summers here is also greatly tempered,
and, although we here find tropical fruits
growing even in the latitude of New York,
still there is less complaint of oppressive
heat here, in summer, than in that city. Al |

Mining Correspordence.I

s.siagth your readers might aish to

neighborhood, I thought I would jot own a
few items for their benefit. The fongVished
for water has at last come, and the "oro"
begins to show itself. The gold ERE is
course, and is to be found in any of (he ra-
vines. In former times, miners havtmade
good wages here, even when they were
obliged to pay from sevenH-fve centsto 81
per inch for water now it can be hadfor rs
cents The water that is used here is bought
from Wolf Creek. and viii contiIue until
July. A wide field of operation is nor open
here for miners, and presume that in few
weeks some large strikes will be heard of in
this vicinity.
Through the efforts of Mr.. CHisLAR, of

these mines are good for from four to ten

which it would seem, that there is serious

article, we learn, that the increased speed is
