The Oregon Senator's.

The greatest political rascality known has
been practiced in Oregon. The Douglas men
and bac.l republicans are in majority in the
legislature Of that State, but in a minority of
the popular vote. BY coalition, they succeeded
in electing NEsMiTu, q Douglasito, and BAKER,
black republican, to the U. S. Senate. This ac-
ton dispIaces General LANE and SMIru and,
with tho loss of one Senator each in Pcnnsylra-
MIA and Ohio, by the democrats, makes motc-
rial gain for tho opposition in the United States

Free Schools.

We havS been requested ogive, through the
columns of the Courier, the regulations of the
Board of FREQ Schools in relation to the distri-
button of the free school fund:
Teachers are not to be paid for any specified
number of scholars, but arc required to report
the whole number of days poor scholars have
attended When the reports are sent in, tho
Board aggregates the number Of days, and pays
the teacher all, if there are funds, or n certain
per cent. thereon, if the funds run short. The
entire amount of the appropriation will be cx-
pended each year, under the present regulation,
at two, three aud four cents per day The
teacher that reports the largest number of poor
scholars will of course, receive most of the pub
lie money.
The Board meets the fourth Monday in No.

NORTH CApoLINA WEsrERX RAILRoAp.
Mr.. Geo Wadsworth, Chief Engineer of
the DALTON and Jacksonville Railroad Com
pany, in his late report, speaking of the CON
ncctions of that line, says: In addition to
the above, as through connections, there is
road being built through the whole length
of North Caroline to Asheylle, and which
has been projected on to Dalton, by way of
Murphy and Duck Town Copper Mines,
which will eventually form an important ex-
tension of your road The route has been
surveyed with reference to a turnpike, and
the distance made about thirty -sevcn miles
from Dalton to the copper mines. tits very
likely a railroad may be located over this
route without much increase Of distance. a
large share of these mines are owned by par
ties in Mobile ard New Orleans, and it is
very probable that they also will make them
selves Interested in the construction of, this
road. This line of road has alf eastern ter
minus ut Norfolk, Va, and another at More,

make upa continuous line from the southern
seaboard of Virginia to the Gulf at Mobile,
and it is highly important that it should have
its proper attention. .-AshvRic Nc,cs.
