Railway Aeros. The Anaes.

Our American engineers scale the highest
ranges OF mountains with the locomotive. Mr.
William Wheelwright, an American who has
been engaged fora long time in building railroads
in South America. has explored the route and re-
ports that a railroad can be built across the An
des, thus making line from the Pacific to
Rosario, via OOrdOva, distance of HOO miles
1t is claimed that the advantages which would
accrue By opening up the South American
States to commerce, the Rio de Ia Plata being
navigabls at the foot Of Rossaris for vessels
drawing I2 feet Of water, would be immense.
The Argentine Republic has offered free
grant of land, Eve miles in breadth, on either
side of the railway to aid in its construction,
and the project is generally thought practicable
It is stated that Mr. Wheelwright in construct.
ing railroads in South America has used gra-
dienis Of l52 and $50 feet per mile, and carried
them to an elevation of 5000 feet above the
level of the sea.

40 AaIeurnment Que.tlon.

SiHs de has Il yet in both branches, and we
trust win to the end. The people and the Con
stituiioh 80 demand Il. The Republican press
is nearly unit in opposition to an adjourned
session--the Democratic entirely so.
The subject came up in the House on Wednes-
day. The select committee reported back the
Senate resolution to adjourn sine die amended
so as to provide for sdjOurning on the 2d Mon
day Of March to the first Monday in February,
1861 A motion to substitute the first Monday
of January was lost, yeas Al. nays So. A de-
bate followed. The friends of an adjourned
session conten5ed that it is the duty Of this
Legislature to district the State under the con-
sus Of 1860, and that It is impossible for the
Legislature to pass an appropriation bill at this
session, to cover the expenses of the State for
two years, with proper reference to economy
and the interest Of the tax payers. On the
other hand it was claimed that the sPpTOpris-
tiOus were not a sufficient reason-thAt the
districting properly belongs to the Legislature
elected in ls6l-that an adjournment over is
violation Of the spirit of the OonstitutiOn-snd
that the people had twice decided not to change
from biennial to snnuil sessions. Finally,
motion to amend so as to adjourn on the I2lh of
March was adopted, yeas 81, nays 80. The
resolution as amended, to adjourn sine die
March l2.h. was then adopted, yeas &c, nays
80. A motion to reconsider was laid on the
table, yeas 46. nays As
All the Democrats but one voted for the
resolution. The Commercials correspondent
says;
The Republicans failed to stick to their eau
Gus action, bdtit is understood that the Senate
resolution vas amended in the House go as to
give further time for consideration. An Rd.
jOurned session viii be held, but the Legisla-
ture cannot adjourn on March 18th. All the
important measures Of the session remain to be
disposed Of

poets to him. The galleries were crowded with
ladies and gentlemen, and all eyes were upon
