We make the following extract from q let
ter. dated Rio dc Janeiro, 18th of September,
1858, from one of the officers ofthat road to
friend in this city:
I'VE are running 80 miles, and expect TO
add "a miles in about Il month. The whole
length of the road will be about $50 miles,
Our receipts upon the 30 miles average now
between $500 and 5000 per day, and reach
ing sometimes $1,000 When we reach BIZ
lem, lat the end of 3Sl niles We shall much
exceed $1,000 per day
This shows Il most astonishing result
$4,000 of road-earnlngs per annum on oo4
miles of road-upwards of 5000 per mile
Allowing onc-half of the gross receipts tor
running expenses the nett earnings would
De nine per cent. on a cost OF s9o,ooo per
mile for construction and equipment.
These facts argue for Brazil, upon the
completion Of that line ofrailway, future OF
great commercial Importance, i'll which our
country must participate largely; and no Por-
ton Of the United States has more direct
interest than the States ofNirginia and Ten

article of flour most desirable in the Brazil

Appallinp Calamity.

was the scene Of one Of the most appalling
calamitics on Friday morning last it has
ever been our lot to record. Mr.. Louis Ben
der. a tanner. went to his work as usual, on
the morning of the 18th. leaving his wife and
three small children ut home. The moth
er went to the stable to milk her cows,
leaving the children by themselves. The
children, as is supposed, set fire TO a box of
shayings which was placed beside the stove.
The doors and windows were all shut and fas-
tened Every possible effort was made to res
cue the children from their horrible situation
but without avail-they were literally roasted
alive The scene was one " hch battles des-
cripton. The oldest child, boy, was five
wears old: the second, a little girl, three years
old the third, small babe. three months old.
The charrcd remains of the children were re-
covered after the house was burned down.
They were all burned into hard shapeless
crisp. The legs and arms of the little suffer
crs were entirely consumed. and nothing re-
manned but part of their bodies. The charrcd
and blarkcned remains were buried immedi-
atey after the fire The parents arc almost
distracted, and it is feared that the mother
will lose her reason altogether. She has not
