SPEED OF RAILwAYs.-The policy of run
ming railway trains at a high rate of speed is
being seriously discussed nv rairoad men
north ofus The Virginia Board o: Public
Works has recommended TO railroud COM
panies in that State, "to adopt regulations
for such lower rates of speed as will even
tnnlly diminish the cost of repairs. and fur
nish greater security for passengers. IN accor.
dance with this suggestion, the directors Of
the Virginia Central Railroad Company have
passed resolution looking to reduction
of speed. The railroad commissioners of
New York state that speed of forty miles
per hour, causes an increase of fifty per cent
OF expense over speed "f twenty miles,
The magnitude of the interest related 10 this
subject invests ii with much importance.
Independent Of any increased profits to be
derived from reducing the rate of speed, the
diminished risk of accident to passen gers is
worthy of consideration.

PREcFPT AND PRAcTTcE.-lt used to be n
saying, that "South Carolina preached nnl.
ifcation, but Georgia practised it," Per.
haps history may hereafter record that the
American party Of this country professed
itself in favor Of an extension of the term
pre- requisite for the naturalization of foreign.
ers, but the Democratic party, coming into
power bv the aid of the foreign votes, carried
out the reform contendrd for by the Amer
cans! Well, the reform will be none the
less valuable on that account, and while this
mode of its accomplishment will be mon.
ument of the correctness of our principles, it
will be no less striking evidence of the su.
perior management and tact OF the Deinoc-
racy. We believe that the ca'eful observer
of American politics for tie last twenty
years will come 10 the conclusion that this
has been the result of all the many conflicts,
within that time, between the Democratic
party of this country and its opponents.-
The Democracy have generally won the off
ees and the patronage of the Government,
and have established and carried out the prin-
ciples of the defeated parties.

"a young Krntnckinn, friend of mine,

DEATHS FROM EXPOSURE TO THE COLD
The Telegraph accounts from Petersburg re
port many deaths from exposure TO the cold
during the recent severe snow storm IN Thai
section.
DR.. Joseph E. Cox, Of Petersburg, Va, in
an effort TO reach his farm, on the evening
of the 18th inst, lost his way, in consequence
Of the henvy fall of SNOW, and died from the
severe cold and exposure of the night. His
nephew. Robert Taylor, who was in c"mpa-
nv with him, was found in n very dangerous
condition, but at last accounts hopes OF his
recovery we're confidently entertained, al
though he had every limb frozen, and his
power to articulate was almost gone when
discovered in the snow.
A young nan by the name Of John Brown,
was frozen to death on the night of the 18th
inst, from previous intoxicalon and subse-
quent exposure.
Ransom S. Edwards, n dealer in fish, oy-
sters and wild game, vas frozen ts death in
his stall in the market on Monday morning,
18th inst.
A negro man, belonging to Mr.. P. A.
Chalklry, died from careless exposure TO the
cold.
The Petersburg Express, Of the 2lst inst,
says: "S-veral rumors Of persons having
been frozen to death, besides those we have
reported, which were rife yesterday and Mon
day, may be considered exaggerntions oi
true reports. II is, however, probable that
several of the poor died from the effects of
the cold in conjunction with their poverty.
