The Great Western K. II.

Gen. Stuart has recently written let
ter to s. J. Crew, Esq, Vice President
of the G. w. H. r., which he has kindly
permitted US to read. Gen. s. states
that he has completed arrans emcnts with
a company Of eastern capitalists, some Of
whom were here last summer, to prepare
the Albany, Camanche and Mendoza r.
r. for the superstructure, to commence
work early this spring. They also pro-
pose to grade, bridge and tic the G. W.
r. r. to Upton, on the following terms,
viz:-The contractors will take one fourth
of the amount in the stock Of the COM
pany, and the remainder in cash, produce
and farm and county bonds; which shows
that they have no doubt the road will be
q paying one. This is very fair offer;
aud i, by accepting it, we can secure, be-
yond contingency, a railroad, We hope
it will be accepted. The building of a
Road from the East to this place will cost
large sum of money, and We should
have to depend mainly upon foreign aid
for the wherewith to build it. But this
is really no objection, if the Road can be
built by that means. Gen. S. is expect
ed here in three or four weeks, and then
We shall We shall be enabled to give more
information in regard to it.

From the Nlnton papers we learn that
meetings have been held in that place
to take into consideration the practical
biIity Of building small steamboat to
nayi gate the waters of the Cedar from
Cedar Rapids to Cedar Fails. That such
a thing could be done, is very evident,
from the fact that this river has been de-
clared navigable to this town There are
but few rifles aud bouldcrs, and these
could be removed in a short time with
very little expense.
1t is proposed to build boat that will
carry from eighty to one hundred tons,
and draw about ten or twelve inches of
water Such boat could be built for
from $4,000 to $4,000, and would un-
doubtedly pay for itself in short time.
The cars on the e. |. & n r. II. will
soon be running to Cedar Rapids, and as
a matter OF course a conveyance of some
kind must be had to convey the multi
tude of people and tons of freight which
will naturally come over that road to the
North and West. We venture to say
that Cedar Falls will subscribe her share
towards this enterprise. - Cedar Fails

Each supervisor is to report his doings
t, the township clerk, on the first Mon

list of the taxes not paid to the County
Judge, to be collected with the County
taxes. The supervisor is to cause two
thirds Of the tax to be worked out be-
tween the first Of May, and the first Of
July, Of each year.
The supervisor is empowered to call
residents to aid in repairing bridges &c.
and a fine is inflicted if the call is not
obcyed. We think the bin a good one,
and hope it will pass. Whether it docs
or not, its author deserves the thanks Of
all who use the highways.

Judge Douglas has been confined to
his house for several days by severe sick
ness, but will resume his place in the
Senate acme time this week. He pro-
nounces the reports as to the intention
to resign his seat totally without founda-
ton, and assures his friends that he in
tends to fight the battle in which he is
now engaged; that he will not be drawn
from his position by the threats or frowns
of power, nor be moved from the purpo-
SEES to which his life has been devoted by
inducements proffered from any quarter.
He says that with him it is matter Of
principle, which he will maintain at all
hazards.
There is noperceptible Improvement in
the physical condition of Senator Davis,
and the partial loss of his sight is feared
by his friends.

IN nine cases out of ten, the habitual use
of tobacco, ilnpairs health, and shortens
life."
John Quincy Adams gave it as his
opinion "tha, the average of human life
is shortened fire y,ar. by the use Of to-
bacco."
Says Thomas W. Blatchford, NJ. d.
~ have given the subjcc. repeated
examinations, and l have long been con-
WINGED that 80 powerful narcotic, 80
active poison, as tobacco, connot be ha-
bitually taken into tho system without
producing delctcrious Though for time
impcrceptible) consequences. Chewing,
smoking, or snufhng, either and all are
bad"
The eloquent DR.. eman, of Troy. N.
Y. is tho only other witness We shall now
adduce. lie was for many years addict
to the use of tobacco. "On the morning
of the 10th of August, 1929, while meas
uring out from a paper Of cut tobacco
the accustomed morsel, thought Of the
injury it was working to my health, Of
the degrading character Of such an un-
natural and unmanly habit,--a | care
fully replace the intended dose in the
paper, with silent, but full purpose,
never to use another particle of the mis-
serable poison. Two weeks Of conflict
saw ME a complete victor over the per-
nicious habit Nothing would now in
duce me to return to it. l consider it
next in point of importance, to con-
quest achieved over the use of alcohol"
After relating several instances in which
he had witnessed its evil effects, he con-
tinues: "But cases are endless. Iwon-
der physicians keep silence as they do.
The American community is full Of the
victims of tobacco. 1t is hardly less fatal
than its grand associate, rum. They are
true yoke-fellows in poisoning the in
stincts, destroying the health, and degra-
ding the nature of man. Tobacco in ev-
cry form, ought to be excluded from the
church, and banished from good society

fops, who are endcavoring to take broad
strides towards gentility and manhood,
by distending their checks with tobacco,
aud putting their cigars at the corners of
the streets Save us from a race of to-
bacco- worms ~
If the foregoing testimony is reliable,
(and think it cannot be rebuttcd,) the
use of tobacco, in any Of its forms, must
be regarded as an unmanly, unwise, I'M
christian practice, unsupported by good
sense, true politeness and proper re-

WASHINGTON, March I, 1858.
Mr.. Rice having declined the Invitation
70 appear before the Fcrt Smelling In
vistigating Committee, pleading his ex-
emption as probably Senator from Min
ncsota, formal summons will be issued
with the view if shall be disregsrded of
bringing motion for an attachment be-
fore the House. His refusal is consider
ed significant. The plea which he puts
in is absurd, as he is no Senator till the
State is admitted, and the Judiciary
Committee of the Senate have decided
upon Gen. Shields application for seat
that Minnesota is not yet State.
Let Mr.. Rice be examined by all means.
He ought to know who pockcted the prof
its. This investigating committee have
collected voluminous testimony, and will
report in fortnight
The Select Committee of the House
may agree informally among themselves
to submit their reports for the purpose
of being printed and then may fix flu
ture day for their consideration. There
will be three rcports-one by Mr.. Ste
phcns on behalf of the majority, one by
Mr.. Morrill, on behalf Of the Republican
members, and third by Messrs. Harris
and Adrian for themselves. The last
will be accompanied by complete record
Of the proceedings, in order to show how
every object of the investigation was
strangIed by party vote. . y
Under the rules of the House these
reports cannot be admitted except by a
suspension Of the rules by unanimous con
sent, or by waiting their turn after the
regular Committees shall have been called,
which would require month. Hence
the Opposition have power to protect
themselves against snap judgment, un-
less the rules be outraged.
No eulogism Of Senator Hammond's
speech has yet appeared in the Union,
an omission which excites much comment
from Southern men. His frank admis-
sion that for sixty years the shareholders
have ruled the country is considered a
damaging indiscretion.
