MARRIAGES OF CONSANGUINITY

Before the recent Medical Associa
ton, assembled at Washington DIR. S.
NJ. DENIS, of Kentucky, read an able
and learned report on the Influence
of marriages of consanguinity upon
offspring from which we extract the
following:
."Your reporter has made great
effort to ascertain the proximatc per-
centage of the deaf and dumb and
blind in our assylums who are the de-
cendants of blood intermarriages'-
This effort has not been successful
from the difficulty principals of such
institutions find in gaining the requi-
site facts. Parents are often sensitive
on this score; and it is delicate mat
ter for the principals to attempt in
vestigations which the friends of the
benefciaries suppose to be unauthor-
lied by the regulations Of their vari-
Gus institutions.
feel, however, that my research.
es give me authority to say, that over
ten per cent, of the deaf and dumb
and over five per cent. Of the blind
and near fifteen per cent. of the idiotic
in our State institutions for subjects O
those defects, are the offspring of kin
dred parents.

WINCHESTER AND ALABAMA RAIL
ROAD.

We have been informed that Mr..
T.. Culberhouse has received informa-
ton from Col. Stevenson, the Presi-
dent of the Winchester and Alabama
Railroad, that the iron for the Road
was expected to arrive some time
this present month, when we presume
the work Of track laying upon this
end of the Road will be commenced.
Mr.. Culberhouse, we understand, is
employed by the company TO take
general charge Of the superstructure
of the Road, and attending to the
company's interest in forwarding the
work to as early completion as prac-
ticable. From what we have ascer-
tanned, Mr.. Cuberhouse's reputation
as to his ability energy and business
qualifications, in Railroad matters,
does not leave doubt rhat there will
be anything left undone Oh his part 10
ensure the early completion of the
Road.

England Taking Care Of Cmba.-
While our steam-frisate Niagara is
courteously aiding British company
to lay the telegraphic cable, English
cruisers are daily firing into our mcr-
chantment along our cwn shores
This is the only evidence we have yet
received of the "lriendly disposition
of EngIand;' in which some of our
statesmen have such faith. Some
officials even wished to withdraw the
Susquehanna from San Juan, and pat
her in the service Of the British COM
pany With the Niagara.
Information comes from Havana
that fleet of Is British gun-boats are
stationed around the island as a coast
guard, and to prevent the landing Of
negroes. American vessels trading
about the island have been boarded
and searched in the most insolent
manner BY them, without any ground
of suspicion OF their being in the slave
trade, and have good cause to COM
plain against such detentions and in
suits.
May not this coast-guard of gun
boats be stationed there to assist in
the immediate differentiation of Cuba!

RAIL ROAD MEETING.

The stockholders of the Winchester
and Alabama Rail Road Company
help their annual meeting in this place
on Thursday last, to elect Board Of
Directors for the ensuing year, and to
receive the Report of the progress and
condition of the Road. There was a
very full attendance. The meeting
was organized by electingG. M. Fogg
Esq, Of Nashville, Chairman, and APP
pointing James Z. Bright, Secretary
V. X, Stevenson, Esq, President OF
the Road, read a very full Repor,
from which we gathered the following
lactS:-
Since the election Of the Board OF
Directors in May last, the whole Road
from Decherd to Fayetteville has been
put under contract, at prices which in
sure it's construction.
The grading has progressed rapidly,
and the first fifteen miles Of the Road,
beginning at Decherd, will be ready
for the iron in about forty days.
The cross ties have been contracted
for at prices below the Engineers estl'
mate.
A sufficient quantity ofheavy I iron
to lay nine miles ofthe Road, has been
purchased at reduced figures.
The masonry has been let, and most
of it is already finished.
The tresseling is under contract, and
the parties are rapidly preparing it for
the track.
The means subscribed, and the aid
granted by the State, are amply sufli'
cient to construct the Road.
James II. Bright. Treasurer, read
Report, showing about $4,000 of the
Lincoln county stock, and about ST.
900 of the Franklin county stock, col
lected; also, showing about Sss,0O0 Of
the stock in the two counties veto be
collected.
The meeting adjourned, and the
judges and clerks appointed to hold the
election for Directors for the ensuing
year, proceeded at once to receive the
votes of the stockholders, and upon
counting the same. the following

M. Thos. p. Young, writing from
Chewalla, Tenn, to the editor of the
Memphis Bulletin, saysthe Wheat crop
in that region is injured to much
greater extent than meets the eye in
looking over the field. He had gone
through his wheat, and upon examin-
alton. found many heads entirely bias
ted, but which, to the eye, looked as
lull and we'll developed as the good
heads. 1t was only by passing them
through the fingers that the difference
was made apparent. .
