The Texas Pacific Railroad.

This road freed from all its embarrass-
ments, with its charter and MAGNIFICENT
grants of land confirmed to it by the recent
decisions of the courts of Texas, has now a
fiattering prospect of being the first line of
iron rails that will reach the Pacific from
Mississippi. The Texas charter gives it the
right of way from the western boundary
of Louisiana,-wherei it will connect with
the New Orleans and OpelousaS road,-to
Ell Paso, on the Rio Grande, a distance of
500 miles;-and to aid in its construction,
the State of Texas appropriateS eight mil
lion acres of the States unappropriated do
main. The Company, on the completion of
each section of twenty-five miles of road,
is authorized to enter 100000 acres of land
along the route. The land appropriation
is estimated to be more than sufficient to buy
the iron, to lay it down, and stock the whole
road. j. e. Thompson, of Pennsylvania, the
most eminent railroad manager in the Union,
has been elected President, with full powers
to carry forward the great work. A loan
been made by Texas to enable the company
to purchase a thousand slaves to be placed
at work upon the road.
With a thousand hands, seventy-fve or
one hundred miles of road can be finished
annually, and the hands raise provisions for
their subsistence. 1t is the interest of the
Company, as Mr.. Thompson conceives, to
sell off portion Of the lands to promote
the settlement of the country. Estimating
one-half of the eight millions of acres at 50,
which they would readily bring, the pro-
ceeds of their sale would more than pay for
ironing and equipping the road. The stock
holders will, therefore, have property OF
eight hundred miles Of railroad, and -four
million acres of land, increasing rapidly in
value as the progress of the road opens them
to a market The road will be worth TWEEN.
ty millions of dollars, and the lands, at ar
average of $50 per acre, would bring eighty
millions, giving an aggregate of one hun
bred millions, owned by Company with ar
aggregate stock subscription of about five
millions of dollars.
These estimates apply only to the eigh
hundred miles of the road to be constructed
through Texas to FL Paso. When the Com
pany can show to Congress the certainty o
its completion, and ask, not money, but I
grant of land, now valueless, to carry i
through the Territories to the Pacific ocean
and a contract for forwarding the mails ant
government supplies for twenty-five years
who can doubt the success Of the applica
ton? 1t promises to be one of the creates

CoRwIN on THE FUGITIVE SLAVE LAW
The Hon. Thomas Corwin in one of his
speeches in the recent canvas in Ohio, ex-
pressed the following emphatic opinions up
ON the constitn:ionality of the Fugitive
Slave Law:
"That is the law, and we have agreed to
abide by 1.-THE law is constitutional, and
it must he OBEYED. Young lawyers with
soaped mustaches and cigar a foot long in
their mouths, who had cursorily glanced
over Blackstones Commentaries, and had
read Swan on Executors and Administra-
tors, and perhaps seen Wilcox's Forms, had
no hesitation in pronouncing it unconstitu-
tional; but, in the face of such distinguished
authority, 1T is constitutional; and it is
the law of the land-the highest and most
intelligent tribunals in tue land have so pro-
nounced it-so defended it, and there can be
no doubt about it.
Now, it being the law, it must be oBEYED:
if it is resisted, it is felony; if resisted with
an armed force, it is treason, and those who
resist it must BE sHoT-must BE HUNG
Some men among us have doctrine they
call higher law doctrine, and profess that
their consciences are above and beyond the
Constitution. These gentlemen are traitors,
and must be elevated 10 purer atmosphere

The CHERoKEEs.-The st. Louis Repub-
Ecdn publishes the annual message of John
Ross, the President of the Cherokee Nation,
to the National Legislature. Ross has been
President, by repeated elections, for more
than twenty years. He is now upwards
of seventy years old, and is still vigorous in
mind and body. The message, in style and
matter, would do credit to a Governor of n
State. The following legislative summary
appears very much like the proceedings of
a civilized people:
On the 4th, John Ross was sworn into
Office, as Principal Chief, and delivered the
annual message. On the 9th, the two
Houses met in joint session, and elected the
following officers: Riley Keys, David Carter,
John T. Adair, Jesse Russell, and Lewis w
Hildebrand, Judges of the Supreme Court;
l.. ii. Keys, Judge of the Northern Judicial
Circuit, and James Mackey, of the Southern
Circuit; Judge and Solicitor for each
District; John Drew, James Brown, aud
Daniel COlston, members of the Executive
Council; Charles Ii. Campbell, Superin-
tendent of Public Schools; Lewis Ross, Ma
tional Treasurer, without opposition; and
George W. Brewer, Auditor. Aaron vii.

mittee, died q few days before the meeting

TheLfbrnrv Lectures.

Our citizens will be glad to learn that the
Lecture Committee Of the Library Associa-
ton have been busy in making arrange
ments for an interesting and valuable course
of lectures for the approaching winter
We have in prospect q series of rich, intel
lectual entertainments, that-while they
will extend our knowledge of literature and
science, and improve the popular literary
taste-will beguile the tedium of many
long winter evening. One of the noblest
benefits of public lectures of high order
of merit, is to atune the popular mind to
exalted sentiment On some themes, the tone
OF which is afterwards carried into other
subjects of thought and discussion, and
a community is elevated by them to broader
views and higher region of reflection.
The immediate benefits of lectures, as a
means of disseminating knowledge is of less
consideration than their indirect influences
upon the popular taste and intelligence.
The Committee have been in correspond
ence with the following gentlemen, with
several of whom positive arrangements have
been made-with others they have condi-
tiOnal understanding that they will visit us.
Among them will be remarked the name of
Prof. Youmans, whose charming lecture on
the Sunbeam" excited so much admiration
among those who heard him last winter:
Bayard Taylor, DR.. Holland, author of
"Titcomb's Letters" and other popular
works; George Vandenhof, the celebrated
British dramatic reader; E. P. Whipple, the
noted Boston essayist; Carl Shurz, the elo-
quent German orator of Wisconsin; Hon.
Robert Dale Owen Hon. George Sumner.
the European traveller; j. A.. McMasters,
editor of FreemdR's On. Y. Journal; Prof.
L. l.. Youmans, the well-known scientific
lecturer; Rev. Thos. Starr King, of Boston
"Grace Greenwood, of Philadelphia.
The course will consist Of eight lectures,
which viii soon be made up, and for which
season tickets will be offered to the citizens,
who will, we hope, respond literally to the
appeal of the Committee, and crown their
labors with success.

MINSEsoTA.-The Pioneer and Democrat
comedies the election, by small majorities, OF
the Republican State and Congressional
tickets in Minnesota. The two parties are
pretty evenly balanced, on the showing OF
the present returns. But, as has before been
stated, this is no correct criterion by which
to judge. Very little reference was had to
general politics in any part OF the State
The issues on which the election turned
were mostly local.

A SAVINGS BANK DEFAULTER. - The
Treasurer of the Peoples Five Cents Saw
ings Institution in Boston, was discovered
last week to have embeZzled the funds of
the Institution to the amount of SIS, 5000
He made a confession of his crime, and said
his distractions commenced in 1854, when
he began specializing in real estate, which
had involved him in loss. In hopes of re.
trieving, he continued, and these losses,
with his personal expenses beyond his in
come (his salary as Treasurer was only ST.
400), have placed him in this sad position.
The Bank is secured by his bond with sure
ties for $4,000, SO that the loss 10 the In-
stitution cannot exceed 1000. The papers
and funds of the Bank were Immediate v
placed in the hands of commissioners, and
the Bank closed till thorough examination
of all its accounts were made.
AS evidence of the success of these insti-
tutions at the East, it appears that this Bank
which receives deposits as small as .fCe
cents-has deposits with it exceeding $780,
900. The number Of depoSitors is about
$500, making the average amount deposited
about SlOO to each individual. The annual
expense of managing the Institution has
been about SO, 500. The dividends to de-
positors have been annually five per cent.

OssAwAToMIE Browns PAPERs.-The Gov
eminent officers have found the insurgent
chiefs valise containing all his papers. 1t
appears from them that he kept a daily
journal, in which he set forth the details of
his transactions, which show his purchase
of arms in large quantities, and ammuni-
ton and stores of all kinds, necessary to
the success of an extensive insurrection.-
Field spy-glasses, picks and shovels for
throwing up temporary Notifications, calls
of boatswains, whistles of new kinds, being
very shrill and capable of being heard at
long distances, which are supposed TO have
been intended for assembling his bands or
warning them of danger, were among these
stores. Tie whistles, as per the bill found
in his effects, were made in Philadelphia
and forwarded to an agent of his in Balti-
more, last week, per Adams l. Co.'S Express.
Some OF them were found in his valise.-
The names of various persons in different
States are embraced in his papers found, as
being well posted in regard TO bis plans and
movements, among whom are Gerrit Smith
and Joshua r. Giddings.

Be- There now remains gap Of only
twenty miles in the Rrailroad connexions
between Columbus, KY, and New Orleans
and in this interval the road bed is nearly
graded, and the iron will be laid down on
it before the first of January. The compa-
ny propose to take the cotton from Jackson,
Tennessee, which is in the upper portion Of
the cotton district, to New Orleans, by Rail
road, for Two dollars and fifty cents per bale
The present expense of taking it from the
same point to Memphis, and thence by
steamers to N. Orleans, is now three dollars
and twenty-five cents, including charges
and insurance. There are serious fears ex-
pressed that this road when fully completed,
will take large amount of interior bust
ness, which has heretofore gone to Men,
phis, directly to New Orleans. There is
cause for serious alarm to Memphis.
