The ext ense for maintenance by the way, en-
-ines and working" are stated:

come OF the expenses of American railways are
recsssarily higher than those Of the English. We
must pay ore for labor and service, the wages Of
day lsborers here being at least double that Eng
land The price of land however, is greater there.
The road beds in the Northern States are annually
upheaEed by FROST and the SHOWS Of winter, alter
mating with the extreme heus of summer, affect
the wooden substructures Our extraordinary fresh
cts in the Spring iLhicl immense damage upon the
roads The cost Of engines and cars is greater;
and the mechanical repair of both is made at
greater price.
Our roads are not unfrequently built through
fresh broken wilderDess and it must not be forgot
ten are constructed and maintained, less with an
idea to their proftabeness investments, than for
the incidental advantages they confer on the neigh
boring country and the terminal cities and villages
With regard to speed of travel, it is stated that
the average travel on English railways is 25 per
cent faster ihan that of American trains. The
Great Western was the fastest road in the world,
and its express ran regularly III miles in precisely
t,go hours, or $50 miles per hour. In New York
State, in 1856, the average rate of trains was "a
miles per hour. In Massachusetts,, in 1851, the
average rate was 90 SO miles per hour, and in 1857
the average sunk to 225 miles In other States the
speed does not average so high. We have only
published a few-slbeit the most important items
from the document before us-yet there is sufficient
to suggest ideas Of railroad reform in many leading
particulars.

etcss etc.
WAsuISaroN, Oct 10. 1853 -Despalohes have
been received At the War Department and the
Department Of the Interior from New Mexico, giving
accounts of fresh Indian war in the Navajo country
Captain Mclean, Of the Rifles, was returning
from Santa Fee to Fort Defiance with seventeen
mounted riaemen and few friendly Indians and
Mexicaus under Captain Bias LasserO, when, within
two DAYS march Of Fort Defiance, he discovered
large body Of Indians attempting TO surround him.
He forthwith dismounted his men and attacked the
indians, who had signfed by their war Whoop their
intention Of attacking his force. lie led the attack
and 10 Distance Of three to four hundred yards fred
killed several Indians and dispersed the rest. A
party Of them, who gained McLesn's flank, opened
a sharp fire Of arrows and bullets.
Mclean was badly wounded, supposed at the time
mortally. His men continued the fight and took
large amount Of property horses, &c. is supposed
this is the band Of Indians which protected the
murderer of Major Brookes' servant.
Col. Miles, commanding at Fort Defiance, reports
that this precipitates another serious Indian war
and that he will take the field without delay with
all his force, consisting Of about three hundred
mounted rifemen and infantry. 1t is said these
Indians number about two thousand warriors. They
are defiant, for when McLeans party drew their
arms they laughed in their peculiar fashion.
1t is believed we are on the eve of q general In
dian war. The Department in view Of these cir
oumstances and the necessity of giving security to
the overland routes, will act with determined vigor
The President received last night a reply from
Mr.. Preston to say that he accepts the mission to
