The lands are given by the State of Texas, where the enterprise has been commenced.

There appears to be another interest in this enterprise, that will interfere with Texas credi- tors and, possibly, may place the management of the road in different hands.
 The Kentucky and other western sharehold- CTS met at Louisville lately and protested against the sale of the road An exchange says:
 "They resolved that the President had trans cended his powers in execcting the deed oftrust, and that the proposed sale would be "a wanton sacrifice of the interests of the company, and a great outrage upon the rights of the stockhoid- ers' They call upon the President and Di- rectors to prevent the sale and declare their in- tention to resist any proceedings under the deed of trust It was stated that the liabilities of the company do not exceed $4O0,OOO, while its assets-twenty-two miles of road, install- men.s due from stock, bonds, mortgages, and lands-amount to $1,54o,OOO.

 STRANGE ACCOUNTS FROM LIBER1A-The Farmvle (Va) Journal notices the return from Liberia of two slaves who were emanc pated by the late John Watson of Prince E!- ward county. The sum of S4,OUO was left by NIT. Watson to carry sixty of his slaves to that republic" They give very discoura ing account of their trip out and their treatment after they arrived The Journal says:
 Before leaving the ship the agent of the col onizatlon society inducei the emi grants to pur- chase quantities Of cheap calico. brass je'velry, etc, assuring them that they would need such articles Ill their new home, but on their arrival they found they had been deceived and delraud ed out ot their money. The provisions ctrri-d out for thelr support for the first six months were sold daily before ther eyes, and they were compelled to buy provisions every day, often ot very inferior quality ana insufficient in quantity. The agent employed by the so- clety would sell to the bakers, and the bak CTS to the emlgrants--thelr own provlSions-at eX- orbtant prlces the agent receiving part of the pioiDs.
 On their arrival they only received half acre of land, instead oi ths five acres promised. They found provisions at eNorhtant rices aud good deal of bad treatment besides, rom the authorities. They allege that the president of the colony, if not engaged in the slave trade, connives at it.
 They have returned to slavery, believing that freedom to the negro in Africa Is the greatest curse that could possibly befall him; and that bad the Lberians the means of getting away seven-egnts of them would gladly return to the United States and serve the hardest mas ters to be found ill the south, feeling that the condition of the slaves here is preferable to that of the most favored of the inhabitants of Li- beria.

On nearing the branch, one of the boys discovered his sister, As he sup posed in the act of drinking, and cried to her to get up and come over; but his voice fell upon a leadened eat--the vital spark that but few brief hours before he had seen lighting up the eye, and giving expression and animation to the features of his beloved sister, had taken its flight to the spirit land, and all he now be- held was his sisters lifeless form. He strove to raise her. But his heart and strength failed him. Overwhelmed with grief he ran to con- munlcate the sad intelligence to his bereaved mother, who, following rapidly on, was consol- ing herself with the reflection that, pns,iblv, her child had sat down hy the road side. weared. and was overcome by sleep. But alas! these fond expectations were doomed to disappoint- ment. Her child slept, but it was the sleep of death She beheld the cask et-but the jewel it was gone,

 The circumstances under which the spirit of little Marian was released from earth, render this dispensation of Divine Providence pecu- liarly distressing On Thursday morning, be- inc so slightly indisposed Irs scarcely to cause her mother an anxious thought, she was pre- pared and sent to school, short distance from home.
