MESsRs. EDITORS Il have perused with the most
unfelgned astonishment the defence of the Ga,
Company, as find it in the Patriot of this evening
II understand the gist of the argument of this bril-
liant corporation it consists in the assertion that
quarter OF year in 1857 consisted only of II DAYS
instead OF 80, which is the generally received opn
ION OF the matter. Now mark how plain matte,
may be stated truthfully. hold in my hand my
gas bills for the term, won't say quarter, in de-
ference to the honest Gas Company, and they stand
thus:

Increase just equal to 80 per cent on last years

NOW from close observation, urged by stringent
economical motives, have paid the closest personal
attention to the consumption of gas in my house
during the last quarter charged; and am fully
convinced that instead of increased, diminished
consumption should have been the legitimate result
OF my endeavors in that behalf. am equally well
convinced, though do not, nor cannot explain the
cause, that the gas supplied is of most inferior
quality compared with that furnished before the
nominal reduction in price Ayrr-Mosopo1Y.

For several months during the past year. the
attention of all Europe and America, and indeed of
the whole civilized world, was directed to that
great scientific experiment, by which it was hoped
ere this, to have united the two Continents in the
mysterious communication of the Telegraph. Not
only were individual enterprise and private capital
in England and the United States enlisted in this
gigantic scheme but it had also awakened the
sympathy and commanded the support and protec-
ton of the two governments. National vessels
were promptly furnished for the appointed service,
and every facility was afforded the Company for
the prosecution of the work Our readers must
still be familiar with the details which excited so
much interest during the whole progress of that
memorable voyage and with the accident of the
18th of August, which caused such universal regret
and delayed though it has not defeated. the most
wonderful achievement the ingenuity of man has
yet suggested. We have read with great Measure
and satisfaction the Report of the Directors of the
Atlantic Telegraph Company to the Ordinary Gen.
eral Meeting of Shareholders which was to be held
in London on the 18th Of February the proceedings
of which meeting have not yet reached the United
States. With this report are also submitted the
reports of the Engineer and Electrician of the
Company. From these documents it is evident
hat no reason exists for distrusting the ultimate

FROM WASHINGTON

WASHINGTON, March 2.-The Senate in executive
session to-day, again discussed, without coming to
vote, the nomination of Mr.. Cook as postmaster
at Chicago. TIL difficulty seems to be result OF
the complication of his accounts as former postmas-
ter with those of his successor, and his oseting
deficiency in his account with an equal sum due
him by the Treasury Department for property pur-
chased from him, and of which the government has
taken possession.
Dispatches received to-day at the War Depart
ment, show an absolute necessity that supplies
should reach the Utah army, under Col, Johnson,
by the lst of June With this view Gen. Scott has
issued an order to organize FOG mule wagons with
the utmost Dispatch at Fort Leavenworth. The
train will start early the 10th inst. with an
escort of seven companies. An order has also been
issued for strong escort to be furnished Captain
Marcy on his return from New Mexico, about the
10th of March. These orders have been sent by
telegraph to Birnvie, and thence will be conveyed
by express messengers.

the Committee on Ways and Means, asked permission
to make the following statement:

/ purposes, including accumulations
of former years, was stated by the

posing the whole to be collected
But in the aggregate Indebtedness as above stated
is included several items which may be postponed,
amounting to at least S15O,O00. Also, the dividend
Of $4,000, on Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Stock
which may or may not be paid during the present
year.
If, then, Sl5O,000 be postponed and this dividend
of $4,000 on Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Stock
be realized, making aggregate of $780, 900, the
amount to be provided would be in round numbers
Slo43,0O0, which would require levy of little up
wards of one per cent, suppOsing the whole to be
lected.
But the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad fail to
pay any dividend at ALL then the amount to be pro-
vided would be Sl50,00O deducted from 81 100000,
the amount of Indebtedness leaving 81, 100000.
This would require a levy of sl.25, supposing
the whole to be collected.

In 1859 then, with the increased basis of Sl35-

shall have 81, 100000, which will leave surplus of

the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad pays adividend of
6 per cent, it would be S2lO,OOO add to this $780,

part to the accumulations of former years. the con-

been made to operate a tax upon any one YEAR

resorted to, if necessary, to equalze the burthen

John Pritchard, the second mate of the David
White, killed deck passenger of the name of Do
Ian or Nolan, on the trip from New Orleans to Lou
isville by telling him to the deck with billet of
wood. He struck him one blow the shoulder,
and the man. in falling, struck his side the han
die of truck. This penetrated under the arm pit.
and he died in three hours
The deceased was deck passenger, who had
refused to pay but two dollars for his passage and
the mate ordered him to go to the forward part of
the boat, and there remain. He soon after met him
going to the after part of the boat and struck him.
This occurred on the Mississippi river just below
Worthington's Point. The boat stopped at Green
vile, or Columbia soon AFTER and the mate went
ashore and escaped, before Captain McGill knew of
the occurrence. He had ascertained that the mate
knocked deck passenger down, but was told that
he wasn't much hurt. The deceased buried
opposite st. Francis river. Considerable money
in specie was found upon his clothing.
