were not wholly at ease, and would not
be until they were entirely clear of the
railroad. A heavy purse was made up
by them for the German student, and he
accepted it with much gratitude; and

gratitude to him may have prevented a

been poured upon my head for having

Mr. Aiken, it will be remembered, was

the compliment is doubly significant.

voted for it, and only Twenty-Five, small
fry Harris among the number, had the
meanness to vote against it.
1t is fact, and nothing goes further
to show it than that Mr.. Aiken offered
this resolution, that Mr.. Banks has been

that True was arrested at Memphis and
that about $4,000 was found in the

WROUGHT Iron TUNNELs.-A NOVEL
CoNsTRUcTIoN.-The liability OF rail
road bridges to accident, interrupting
travel, and frequently causing destruct-
ion of life, had directed the attention OF
engineers to the practicability of tun-
neling rivers for railroad purposes
This is very expensive operation per-
formed in the usual way; but we see by
the Washington Union that Mr.. John
W. Cochran, of New j DIRK, proposes to
construct tunnel Of wrought iron, upon
the same principle of making steam
boilers and iron ships, without riYets,
bolts or screws. Thus built upon dry
land, It is launched like ship, into the
water, the ends closed up to float it;
while a channel has been previously pre-
pared to receive it. When placed in its
bed it is covered up and protect securely
from any obstacle that may be floating
about The water, which has been pre-
viously introduced to sink it, is pumped
out Its construction entirely over
comes the effect Of expantion and con-
traction when the ends are connected
with the mason work at the various ap-
breaches. Mr. Cochran's invention is
now undergoing the test of experiment.
He claimes that he can cross river with
his tunnel in halfthe time and at half the
expense of a railroad bridge.

WAsuINaroN. March ,


In the U. S. Supreme Court, this
morning, Justice Mclean delivered his
views; arguing that slavery is limited to
the range of States where established
by mere municipal law; if congress deem
slaves or free colored persons injurious
to the territory, they have the power to
prohibit them from becoming settlers in
the territory.
The power to acquire Territory
brings with it the power to govern it.
The m.-Jter does not carry with him to
the territory the law of the State from
which he removes. Hence the Missouri
Compromise is constitutional and the
presumption is in favor of the freedom
of bred Scott and his family, who were
free under the decisions of the last %
years.
