WASHINGTON April 5.-SENGTE.A
Various petitions were presented and
referred among others, one from citizens
of New York in favor of the passage of
a general Bankrupt law, and n from
the Chamber of Commerce of New York
against the abolition of the Light House
Board.
Mr.. Brown of Miss, brought up his
police bill for the protection Of lives and
property in the city of Washington,
The bill provides for a patrol force
of 100 men and numerous stringent reg
ulations.
House-The House took up the SEN
ato,s amendments to the volunteer bill.
Nj. Quitman Of Miss, preferred the
original number of regiments but as the
troops should move immediately he
would consent to the reduction.
Mr.. Hughes, of Ind, suggested as
Texas was to have a full regiment, New
Mexico ought to have an opportunity to
raise one for its own defence. Others
acquieseed in his view, particularly as
the regulars were being removed from
New Mexico to Utah.
The House concurred in all the Sen.
ate's amendments which leaves it discre.
tionary with the President to accept ono
regiment of mounted volunteers for the
defence of Texas and two regiments fol
the protection of supply ard emigrant
trains, and the suppression of Indiar
hostilities. This was agreed to by Il
majority.

The Great western Rail Road.


Under the head of "Rail Road Reyi-
val, A. N. GRAY contributes a very
interesting article to the Cleveland
Plaindealer. OF the Atlantic and
Great Western Rail Road he says: +
Among the roads projected and com.
menced between the years '49 and "a
some have been completed at great ex-
pense which are nearly useless, others
that have been forced to stop on account
of the pressure OF the times, are from
their location and magnitude bound to
be built and will be. The most promi-
nent of this class al this time is the one
now known as the "Atlantic aud Great
Western Railroad" This road witch
consists of three organizations chartered
by the different States connects with the
New York and Erie Road at Great Val
ley and with the Ohio and Mississippi
at Cincinnati and has 4S miles IN N.
IS miles in Pennsylvania, and 24t In
Ohio. This road though chartered
By three different States has aTunity of
interest and a unity of purpose and
when completed will form a link be-
tween New York, the metropolis of the
East, with St. Louis, the metropolis of
the West. This connection will be a
uniform guage of sir feet with a uniform
interest of over 1100 miles in length,
running through the garden of the West,
and on the most direct route for South
western and Western travel to the great
marts of the North and East.
The graduation Of this road is in an
advanced state as a large proportion OF
the road bed in Ohio (244 miles) is
ready for the superstructure and the
contractors Messrs. Doolittle & Streeter
who have tho whole road to build, have
already purchased (3l,oo0) thirty one
thousand tons of iron and made arrange
ments f, r an amount of money sufficient
to complete the road in the shortest
possible time. OF
A glance at the map will show any
one who has travelled through the coun-
try of its location, that it will be the
great road Of America for the next TWEEN
ty years, and perhaps for all the time.
The Dayton 81 Michigan Road, com
meLced in '53 is being pushed to com
pletion and is probably wanted; the
Detroit & Grand Haven Road across
the peninsula of Michigan will be bull

Kansas Rerused Admisslon.

The coalition in the House of Rep
resentatives succeeded in their scheme
to prolopg the Kansas strife indefinitely
by attaching an amendment to the Sen
ate bill, the evident object of which is
to continue the sectional contest in Con-
gress and throughout the country as "a
good enough Morgan" until after the
the next Presidential election. The in
telligent white freemen of the country
will hold their faithless Representatives
to a rigid account for their factious
course. The people will condemn this
squad Of politicians in Congress, who,
for their own ACKNOWLEDGMENT, have sa-
crifced the peace and the highest inter
iests of the country. It is difficult now
to forctel the end of this agitation or
the mischiefs which it will infict upon
the nation.
Gen. BUKNs of the Coshocton Dis
trict, and Mr.. M1LLER, of the Ross Dis
trict, remained faithful to their party
creed and pledges. In the contest with
their opponents at homo next fall, they
will make broad and vital issues with
their Republican opponents, and they
will command the hearty and jealous
support Of the Democratic party in their
respective Districts. How will it be
with those who voted. with GIDDINes,
WADE, Bliss & Co.? Under what flag
will they fight?
The action of the House of Represen'
tatiyes will give another day of jubilee
to the turbulent and reckless politicians.
north and south, who riot upon discord
and disorder. The desperate game Of
Seward, Douglas & Co., is to keep the
question open, under the false pretenct
that the people os Kansas can only es
tablish their own institutions under Con.
gressional pupilage and direetion-tc
multiply the complications that sur
round the question-and to incur tbs
hazard Of bringing the two sections int
a conflict appalling to every patriotic
heart, rather than fail in attaining thu
objects of their uuholy ambition ant
revenge.

We have made mention that Messrs.
Majors and Russell, the contractors to
transport the army supplies to Salt Lake,
have decided on making Nebraska City
the starting point. The caravan, when
it shall have fully fixed up and started,
will be one of the most imposing and ex-
tensive that the Western world has
ever witnessed. The Nebraska Ne1US
gives US a skeleton idea of its appear
ance-two thousand wagons, each haul
ing fifty hundred pounds of freight, six
teen thousand head of cattle, two acres
of ox-ynkes to hitch them up with, two
thousand ox-drivers; and then it pro-
ceeds to imagine what a grand opera the
cavalcade would make:
"Sufice it to say that a thousand
whips are cracking, sixteen thousand
tails are daily swapping the flies IF june
away, two thousand drivers s%hrieking,
eight thousand wagon-wheels ~squeaking,
all eager to join the Auti- Mormon fray,
when, at the closing recitive, a herd of
buffaloes and six hundred Indians break
in upon the train, and o general STAN
pede ensues, then, and not till then, do
we show our true musical strength"
Another regulation is alluded to as
being a cardinal thing in the expedition.

aMajors and Russell will hire nor en-
ploy no man who tasteth, toucheth or
haDdleth strong drink. We shall, there.
