A GEORGIA SUPERIHTEEDEHT.-Mr. Wad-
ley, for many years the efficient Supcrinten-
dent of the Central Railroad was induced to
resign his official control Of that Road and
take charge of Road in Louisiana. Mr..
McTyere, editor Of the New Orleans Christian
Advocate, in n recent letter from Brandon,
Mississippi, thus notices the operations Of
Mr. Wadley on the Road-whch he now su-
perintends:
"Along the N. o. g. G. N. railroad the talk
was about the new Superintendent, Mr.. Wad.
lev, who has Just been put on. He is a Ma
poleon in his way. The Company have long
been trying to draw him from Georgia; they
give him salary of $4,000 per annum, and
out all things under him. Wadey brought
up to dividend point one or two railroads in
Georgia, and he is expected to do the same
here in year or so. Before he had been in
office fortnight he brought down the list of
employees, hands, and haugers-on, from 45O
to is0, and has the work done better. ! am
told that II he stops at the present retrench-
ment, he will, even at his high salary, save
the company $4,000 n year. Every man
along the route trembles in his shoes; his
head may 90 next. But Wadley will not
stop there, opne. Besides setting adriit a
host of parasites and placemen, who eat up
the profits OF such institutions and are in each
others way, he will improve time, prompt
ness, and safety in transportation, and that
will improve business"

THE STRYcHNINE BRAND.-The dreadful
murder of patient in the New York Hospi-
tai, by another who was suffering from de-
lirium tremens, calls to mind the assertion
made so frequently Of late, that at the pres
ent day this mental disease is rapidly assum-
ing far more incurabe form than it ever
had at any time, and that the proportion OF
deaths among the cases is incredibly greater
than of old. The cause of this is of course
the adulterations now practiced on almost
every variety of intoxicating liquor, some OF
them being, in fact, of deadly nature,
whenever disease is once induced by excess
in them. Between the increasing tendency
to nervous complaints and strychnine, to say
nothing OF n great variety of other Spurious
condiments" a man runs almost as much a
risk now a.days in drinking liquor, when not
positive as to the purity of IFS origin, as did
the knight in the old fairy legend, when the
goblin king gave him his choice between the
two goblets of Death and Happiness, without
any hint as to which was which.
"Drink," said the king to the stranger knight,
"Drink while the goblets are foaming bright
Taste the one and thou shalt be
Blest by the spirits of land and sea;
But drink of the other and thou art then,
Accursed by spirits and scorned Of men,"
And really small course of fighting bran.
dy, warranted to strike at one hundred yards
is quite enough nowadays, to produce cf-
fects very much like those of the "second
goblet" compared with which the swine ol
Borgia" would be delicious beverage. As
we have said before, if you must liquor be
careful whom you liquor of.

The ELEVENTH HouR.-There is class
of people who are always late. They are
inevitably late to the ears, and they invaribly
have to jump for it If they are going upon n
steam jaunt. Everything with these people
is put off until the last moment and then, if
the plank is removed, they stand capital
chance of jumping overheard in attempting
to leap upon the deck after the paddle wheels
have commenced revolving. If the boat star
ted an hour later, it would be all the same
to them, for they would be just as inevitably
behind time, and come up or down little
too late to take things cool and comfortable.
These late people have to stir their stumps
or be left behind when they have steamboats,
or railroad cars to deal with; but they are the
bane OF the existence Of punctual persons
with whom they have dealings, and who have
no recourse in the way of tapping big bell
or blowing upon steam whistle to hurry up
the delinquent eleventh hour men. One pro-
craslinating man will derange the best laid
plans of hundreds, by failing to come up to
time, ard he waists hours for others in his
disregard for minutes.

WASHINGTON CITY AFFArRs.-Dec. 10
II is rumored in public circles to-day that
Governor r. J. Walker has rendered his resig-
nation Of the office of Governor Of Kansas to
the President. The truth or falsity of the
rumor will develope itself in day or two.
The Democratic caucus of the Senate has
nominated VIM. A. Harris, ESQ.,, the editor
and publisher of the Washington Union, ms
the Democratic candidate for Printer to the
Senate. @
The standing committees in the Senate
were selected to-day
The Representative branch Of Congress
met this morning in the new hall. The pro-
cecdngs were unimportant.
The reporters for the press are very much
annoyed at the limited accommodations af-
forded them in the new hall.
1t is asserted here that instructions have
been sent to all southern ports to prevent the
departure of supplies to General Walker in
Nicaragua. 1t is also stated that the steam
ship Fashion will be lbeled for violation
of neutrality laws, on the return of that
steamer to Mobile.
Tomorrow the Hon. X. M. T. Hunter, of
Va, will introduce bill in the Senate au-
thorizing the issue Of Treasury notes.
WASHINGTON, Dec. Ex-senator Gwin in
troduced bill nuthorising territorial gov
ernment in Arizona; also bill providing for
the construction of Pacific railway.
Senator Hunter introduced bill authoriz.
ing the issue of twenty million dollars in
treasury notes.
The House adjourned in respec. to the
memory of the Hon. VIM. Montgomery Of
Pennsylvania.
Hon. NJ. b. Lamar has been confirmed as
minister to Central America.
Vice President John C. Breckinridge has
arrived.
WASHINGTON, Dec. lSth.-A letter from
Governor r. J. Walker appeared in the Wash.
ington papers this morning. It is addressed
to Lewis Cass, Secretary of State.
The letter is mostly an elaboration Of the
Message of Mr.. Secretary Stanton convening
the Legislature of Kansas.
Governor Walker states that he accepted
the office of Governor of Kansas upon the
express condition that the Constitution which
would be framed by the people of that Ter
ritory for their admission as State into the
Union, should be submitted for ratification
or rejection, to the votes of the bona tide resi-.
dent settlers of Kansas. He repeated these
views in his Inaugural Address to the people
of that Territory; and no objection was made
by the Cabinet.
The tone of the letter is mild apd nrgu-
mcntative, and contains no reflections against
the Administration.

THE LATE GEN. HAMLToS.--ln an inter-
esting biographical and obituary notice of
the late Gen. James Hamilton, of South Car
olina, published in the National Intelligencer.
we see it stated that his religious creed
(though educated in and protesting the doc
trnes of the Protestant Episcopal Church,
"parlook greatly Of the tenets of Sweden
borg, at leas. so far rs TO believe that friends
who are dead, are angels sent on errands full
of love- He was firm believer in the re-
cognition and association Of friends in fu.
ture state, and ever expressed the conviction,
as one OF his highest hopes Of immortality,
that he would be in everlasting communion
with his most cherished friend, Calhoun; for
there had ever been, from the perfect purity
and morality Of their lives, the deepest sym
pathy between these two great souls."-
They had been like the most deeply attached
brothers in life. and now they are united in
death. .H.Hin.

TIE WESTERN TERRRIToRIEs.

A whole brood Of incipient States on the
Western frontier, are approaching maturity
and several will be clamorous during the pres.
ent session Of Congress for admission into the
Union. The noise of preparation is heard
where the surf Of the Pacific breaks on the
shore, and nothing but the watery wastes
there interposed, can finally and effectually
check the westward course of empire. Should
Kansas. Oregon, and Minnesota secure admis-
sion this winter. the number Of States in the
Confederacy will be increased to thirty four
and more than five hundred thousand square
miles of territory be added to that now EN-.
braced in the Union, or an area equal to ele-
ven States like New York, or sixty-nine like
Massachusetts. When these shall be follow
ed by territories already existing comprising
100000 square miles, and by such as may
be formed from divisions of California and
Texas forty FIVE stars win emblazon the flag
Of the great American republic.

LATE FROM SALT LAKE CTry.-The great
Southern Mail had arrived at San Diego in
81 days from San Antonio.
= The Mormons are certainly earnestly pre-
pairing for war, and we should not be sur
prised if, ere this, the troops under Colonel
Johnson had come in deadly conflict with
them.
Mr.. John Aiken makes a sworn statement,
from which we extract the following:
"We learned from DR.. Dunion, surgeon TO
Brigham Young's Army, that they had taken
a vote at Salt Lake City, that it the United
States Army forced its way into Utah, that
they themselves would burn their city, towns,
forts, &C., and lay every habitation in ashes;
that they had already picked out secret places
in the mountains, to "cache" their provisions,
and make their future abode with the Indians.
The Doctor stated that arrangements were
already entered into that provided the army
should enter the settlements that every city,
town, and village in the State of California,
Missouri, and Iowa, should be burned imme-
diately-that they had men to do this who
were not known TO be Mormons And that
they would cut off all the emigrant trains,
army stores, provisions, stock, &C.; that no
man, woman or child should hereafter cross
the Plains without being scalped That they
depended upon and expected the Indians to
perform this Internal ard cowardly part of
their designs.
We arrived at the city in the afternoon of
the same day. Here found all that had
heard stated by the soldiers, on their way out
to the various stations assigned them, con-
frmed by the repetition of the same by the
people Of the city. found here, amongst
the people of the city, tine most hostile feel.
inc and bitter sentiments that the heart of
man could possibly conceive. Twas caution
ed to be very cautious in my remarks, and
saw nothing against the Mormons, by friend
from Yankee land, who had to exercise the
utmost discretion in all he said or DONE
Here learned that il was necessary for me
to get passport from the War Department
of Young's army, to secure my safety through
the settlements, which did, and found it
very dangerous TO me on my way through the
settlements.

A SAMPSON IN SHAcKLEs.-The Monroe

A DAYS Work AT A SLAUGHTER-H HOUSE.
Yesterday there was killed at the "Cincin-
natl Slaughter-house," on Deer creek, 2Os7
heavy Kentucky hogs. probably the greatest
number Of pounds of dressed hogs ever hung
up by one house in single day. The slaugh-
iering was done on one bench, commencing
at a o'clock in the morning and closing at n
quarter past four. This is an average of two
hundred and twenty-six hogs per hour, or
nearly four per minute The want of room
to hang more hogs compelled the suspension
of work at an early hour, or two hundred
more would have been killed.

MEMPHIS AND CHARLESTON RanRoAp.-
The Huntsville Independent of the 18th inst,
says great damage was done TO the Memphis
and Charleston Railroad by the recent food.
Six miles East of Huntsve the track gave

tressel-works on Indian, Limestone, and Hur-
ricane creeks, were washed away. Near
Glendale, bridge gave way, killing fire.

fatally, the Engineer. A similar accident
occurred near Corintb, killing the Engineer,
and injnring a fireman. Other damage TO

REsuMIwG RK-NIanufactories at The
eastward are said TO be steadiy, one after
another, resumng operations, despite the
hardness Of the times. Manufacturers urge
that "there never was period in which the
prospect for the successful establishment of
home industry was so great as at present, in
as much as British competition is, in great
measure, prostrated by over-trading during
the last few years."
