The Paw of Naval Officers,

When Congress fixed their compensation upon its pre-
sent basis there very little complaint on the part
of their constituents. Three thousand dollars per an
mum not deemed an eXrayagant salary for a mem
Der of that body Prices have risen immensely within
the last few years. and it is but fair that salaries should
be proportonaby increased But Congress should take
good that while they remember themselves they do
not forget others Let them render justice to all.
Now there is class of our public servants that
have been overlooked in the adjustment Of the scale of
pay We refer to the navy. Our naval officers, espe-
ciay the lieutenants, very nadequatey paid. This
latter class pass the BEST the most active part of their
lives in the service before the hour of promotion arrives
We have it stated that the average length of SER
vice before promotion to the grade of commander is
about thrtysix thrtyeight years During this long
period the pay of lieutenant is scarcely adequate to
support his family, if they live, they are CON-
PEELED to live upon the most economical scale. Naval
officers, general thng-and to their honor be it said
marry for love- and not for money. They do not be-
long to that contemplate and increasing class nsour
cities who having other aim in lite than physical en-
oymen marry only for the purpose Of increasing their
fortune and acquiring the Of self indulgence
Hence it is that for the most part their pay is their
only reliance for the support of their families.
These men who protect commerce, and upon whom
the country relies uphold the honor of its flag every
deserve to be differently treated It has been said that
the Naval Committee of the Senate at the last session
agreed upon bill increasing the pay of all naval officers
that the of eutenants should amount to
thing like two thousand dollars per Gnraum dlscrmi-
nation being made in favor of those who have served
longest We cannot help thinking that even this is in
adequate pay but we understand that the navy will be
satisfied with it. We trust that Congress will take this
matter into consideration and not permit this session to
pass without doing justice to gallant and meritorious
| class OF men.-PhiLa North american & y. S. Gaz.

RAILROAD COMPANY. We learn, through reliable
source that the President of the Company has effected
the loan of sufficient sum to put the first twenty-five
miles of the road from Walkers Ferry on the Cape
Fear river, in running order and the directors are
pressing the work with all possible energy. The laying
of the track will probably commence in April next.
It is much to be regretted that our Legislature can
not be induced to aid really in the construction of this
truly State orkbut instead of doing so they seem
rather disposed to feter clog and retard its progress
The sooner it can be finished the sooner Willis means
enable it to meet its interest and relieve the State from
all fears. The course of our Legislature is rather
suicidal and tends to produce the very state Of things
which it pretends DESTROYS of avoiding.
We SHALL next week, give some extracts from the re-
port the President in relation to this great work.

FINE SKATING AT PHILADELPHIA.-It is stated that
for number of years the Phiadephians have not en-
oyed such fine skating the Schuykill as Tuesday
The North American thus describes the scene:
About 3 o'clock in the afternoon there were in sight
not less than thousand skaters fitting about like
many swallows upon the wing. The ice was nearly as
smooth as mirror and presented unbroken sheet
far as the eye could reach From the dam nearly up to
the falls the skaters coursd back and FORTH making the
cold air ring with style of Laughter that indicated
the liveliest enjoyment Among the multitude we re-
cognized dignifed merchants, Logging away
in style that would have done honor to many school
boys while members of the bar, doctors, &c. could be
counted by dozens We looked for Col Page but didn't
see him. Col Page is the champion skater of this city
perhaps of the Uuion. Col. Page cannot, perhaps
cut an eagle naturally that it fly away, but he
can cut spread eagle backwarks-a feat whose per.
Torrance is the most difficult that can be attempted

The Senate Of the United States still appears in
cned to devote considerable time to the discussion Of
Pacific Railroad and different routes for the same
We think that between these different schemes the pro-
ject will fall through.
Mr. Mason, from the committee on foreign relations
in the Senate, has introduced a bill authorizing the
President of the United States to use the Army and
Navy of the United States in certain cases. and under
certain circumstances.
The extravagant Pension Bill will fall dead in the
Senate
In the Senate Thursday various reports were made
upon private claims matters of minor importance.
Mr. Kennedy introduced bill to establish national
line of steamships between certain ports in the United
States and Great Britain. The bill authorizes the
Postmaster General to contract with Ambrose W.
Thompson for the service which is to be in two divs
ons-he first division consisting of six steamships,
ming alternately from Portland Boston, New York and
Philadelphia second consisting of eight steamships,
running from Baltimore Norfolk, Charleston, Savannah
and New Orleans to Southampton 1t will hardly sue
coed.
Mr.. Seward introduced bill in addition to the acts
which prohibit the slave trade
Mr.. Simmons moved to take up the resolutions sub
mitted by him on the 23d of December in relation to
plan for raising sufficient to meet the ordinary
expenses OF the government by the imposition of specific
instead of ad UaLorena duties.
Some discussion arose on the Pacific Railroad Bill
which Mr. Douglas hoped would be adopted reported
by the Committee leaving the selection of the route for
after-consideration.
In the House several executive communications fur
nshing information asked for were received but not of
any peculiar interest or Importance.
A resolution was adopted requesting the Secretary of
the Navy to furnish information about Chapains to the
Navy since l6l3 the religious denominations to which
each person appointed was Observation-Disclosures required
by any Navy regulation otherwise to read prayers,
etc Itwoud appear from this resolution that it is be-
ieved by the House that particular denomination
the Protestant Episcopaan- had sort of monop-
oily of the Chapaincies of the Navy
The Naval Appropriation Bill was referred to the
Naval Committee. with Instructions to inquire what
reductions in expenditure could be made without detr
ment to the public service.
The balance of the session was occupied in the dis
cussion of Bill codying the existing revenue laws of
