Railroad Traffic.

According to the annual report of the
New York Central Railroad for 1859, that
institution has been doing a marvellous
business. 1t appears that for the last seven
years the company has realized the enormous
sum of forty-6ve millions and three quarters
of dollars from passengers and freight; and
that during the present year no less than
two millions two hundred and forty thou.
sand persons travelled over the road-more
than half the entire population Of the State
-affording total receipt, including freight,
of six millions and quarter. Taking the
New York Central as q standard, Though
it is, perhaps, the most profitable road in
the country) what an immense Railroad
traffic there must be throughout the whole
Union. There are now in operation about
two hundred and forty Railroads in the
United States, running over twenty five
thousand miles, and the aggregate amount
of passengers travelling over them annually
must be nearly twenty millions; and the
receipts cannot fall short of from two to
three hundred millions.

The Democrats Of Ohio County, Indiana,
at their recent county convention, in appoint
ing delegates to the State Convention, de-
termined to be sure and certain on the great
question, SO they resolved as follows:
I" That James Buchanan was our choice for
the Presidency for the contest in 1856, his ad.
we will continue to give him our cordial sup.
pert, That the delegates of Ohio county be
inst ucsed to support delegates to the Charleston
Convention Favorable to the nomination Of Ste
phsn a. douglas as the candidate for President
In 1860"
This is model resolution. Statesmen
by profession should cut it out and preserve
it, since it will answer for as many ATTITUDES
as Poor Richards Almanac.

WEDNESDAY, Jan. 4, 1860.
The House was called to order at the
usual hour, without prayer. Mr.. Caskey
was sworn in.
GOVERNORS MESSAGE.
Mr.. DONAHUE offered resolution to
print 500 copies of the message of Gov.
Sibley, and 500 copies of the message of
Gov. Ramsey.
Mr.. CLEVELAND offered substitute
to refer to the Committee on Printing, as to
the cost of printing 5000 copies Of Gov
Ramsey's message, 500 of them in German
and 500 in Norwegian.
Mr.. GREENE. of Steele, opposed the
printing of both messages, and Was replied
to by Mr.. Cleveland.
The question resolved itself into politi-
cal discussion, Mr.. ROBERTSON illustra-
ting the character of the Republican party
in refusing to print Gov. Sbley's message,
and now wanting to print Gov. RamseY's
message. He said the Republicans did not
want the people to know what Gov. Sibley
had recommended, because it would show
that his recommendations were such as the
people of the State were almost unanimously
in favor of. The Republican presses had
charged when Gov. Sibley's message was
read, that he had stolen the Republican
thunder, and this was the reason they did
not want to present it officially to the pub
lie.
The previous question was moved by Mr..
VANVORHES,an and the substitute was lost,
by yeas 33, nays IS.
The original resolution was then defeated
by yeas IL, nays SO.
Mr.. SECOMBE moved to print 1000
copies of Gov. Ramsey's message, which
was indefinitely postponed by yeas 81, nays
20.
LEGISLATIVE MANUALS.
Mr.. SECOMBE offered a res olution
directing the Clerk to have printed 100
copies of a Legislative Manual for the use
of this House, which was carried.
Perhaps the members of the Legislature
are not aware that the Legislative Manual,
intended only for the convenience of the
members, will cost as much or more, as it
would have cost to furnish 1000 copies of
Gov. Sibley's message and 1000 copies of
Gov. Ramsey's message.
MISCELLANEOUS.
The House passed resolution giving to
Luke Marvin certificate for $50, for SER
vices for the election case of Jefferson vs..
Nettleton.
Mr.. SWEET submitted his bill to dis
courage the immigration and settlement of
negroes in this State.
MIR. SECOMBE moved to reject the
bill.
Mr.. ROBERTSON hoped the bill would
not be rejected. He had not before any
knowledge of this bill, but considered that
its object was important to the interests of
the State. He went on at some length to
show that if the Republican party succeeded
in their Irrepressible conflict" and by
moral suasion or physical force accomplished
the abolition of slavery in the Southern
States, that such law as the bill contem-
plated would he necessary to protect our
white citizens from hordes of vagabond ne
groes who would come among us.
Mr.. SECOMBE advocated the rejection
Of the bill, on the ground that it was in viela>
tion Of the consultation of the United States,
which gave the citizen of any one State the
rights Of the citizens of any other State.
Mr.. ROBERTSON said that negroes

SINGULAR FATALITY.-On Saturday last a
large party of gentlemen and ladies, residents
in Saugus Centre, visited Chelsea Beach on
an excursion, pitching a tent near the Ocean
House, and devoting the day to rational en-
joyment. Their holiday pleasures were, how
ever, brought to a sudden and melancholy ter
mnation about halt-past l o'clock, when Mr.
Jeremiah Cotton, a man about fifty-five years
of age, went into the water to battle. On
leaving the shore he remarked to those about
him that il he should be drowned they must
not go home without his body, an admonition
which, alas was solemnly needed, for Mr..
Cotton had not proceeded tar from the shore,
when his head was observed to fall suddenly
forward, and he began to sink. His friends
rushed to his assistance and bore him to the
shore. He was alive when taken out of the
water but expired in a few minutes. His
death is attributed to dropsy on the brain,
FASTENED by sudden rush of blood to that
organ from the extremties. The deceased
leaves wife and one son. The former was
among the company at the beach. 1t is re.
ported as Il singular coincidence that large
portion of the same party visited Chelsea
Beach four years ago, when two of their
number were drowned.

TRIAL OF SCHOOL PREcEPToR FOR KILL
ING ONE OF HIS PUPILs.-Mr. Hopley, the
preceptor vi family school near London, was
recently tried in that city on the charge of
ing one of his pupils named Reginald Channel
CHANCELLOR, the son of man OF fair position in
society, for the board and instruction of whom
Mr.. Hopley was to receive 5000 per year. 1t
is asserted that the instructor mistook the
mental condition of the lad and attributed his
stupidity, really caused by water on the brain,
to obstiaacy, and undertook to beat him into
a brighter mental condition. One morning
young CHANCELLOR was found dead i'll his bed.
The body was carefully covered over. 1t had
white kid gloves upon its hands, and long
stockings drawn far up over the thighs moth
ing was visible but the face. Hopley suggest
ed that the boy had died of disease OF the
heart, and wished a certificate from the sur
geon and immediate burial. AT one moment
it appeared likely that the whole affair would
be hushed up. But mysterious stories of
midnight shreks and blood, stained instru-
ments of punishment began to be whispered
about The servants had seen blood upon the
linen in Mrs Hopley's room, and had heard
sounds which convinced them that the
miserable wife had spent the night in
the frightful task of preparing the body
to pass a superficial investigation, and
in getting rid of the traces of violence
which would TESTIFY against her HUSBAND
Then came the real Investigation. The gloves
and the stockings We're stripped off, and the
legs and the arms Of the corpse were found to
be covered with extravasated blood, "the cell
ular membranes under the skin of the thighs
were reduced to a perfect jelly; in fact torn
to pieces and lacerated by the blows which
had been inflicted" There were two holes i'll
the right leg about the size of a siXpence and
an inch deep which appeared to have been
made by jabbing a thick stick into the flesh.
The appearance was that Of human creature
who had been mangled by an Infatuated and
merciless assailant. All these appearances
conceded but too faithfully with what was
now learned Of the conduct of the schoomas
ter. A servant girl who slept next 10 the pu-
piroom heard the boy crying and screaming
under blows and her master talking and beat
ing. She listened at ten o'clock, when the
torture was going on, and she awoke at twelve
and it was still proceeding. Then the cries
suddenly ceased, and nothing after was heard
during that unQuiet night but the stealthy
movements of the wife, who was, with wom
anly devotion, doing her fearful task of hiding
the traces of the tragedy. The trial resulted
in the conviction Of Hopley, who was sem
fenced to four years penal servitude.

FREDERICTON, N. b., Aug. 6.-The govern
ment of New Brunswick presented an address
to the Prince of Wales this morning.
The prince replied as follows u received
with much qualification an address, which,
while it breathes the spirit of loyalty 10 the
queen, and atfectionate attachment to her fam
lily, which animates the whole people of this
province, does not fail to remind me Of the
claims of your ancestors to live in the memo
ries of your sovereign and of the British ma
ton The commercial activity of st. John,
and the thriving agriculture on the rich banks
of the river winch | have Travelled, the smil.
ing aspect of this city, the capital of New
Brunswick, all tend to convince me, even apart
from your gratifying assurance of the prosper
ity and happiness which you enjoy under the
constitution of the parent state, and the
free institutions which you profess Every
visitor to your shores, but more especially the
son of your queen, must earnestly pray that
your peaceful av0catlOns may never be dis
turbed, but in case such misfortune should
await the empire, rejoice to observe that in
this, as in all the provinces which | have late
ly visited, the selfrelying spirit Of patriotism
prevails, and | see in the discipline OF your
volunteers the determination to protect the
national honor which is manifested in every
portion of the queens dominions. l beg you
to accept my thanks for your earnest prayers
for my present and future happiness"
Two other addresses were delivered, one
from the city Of Fredericton, and one from the
clergy. In the afternoon the prince visited
the new park. This evening he attends a ball
at the parliament house.

From All the Year Round.

BLOODY VENDErTi.-There was, years ago,
a certain village beauty, whose list of lovers
Included every disengaged male of the town
ship, and this maiden had three fierce broth
ers. Now, to salute the lips Of fair lady in
public constitutes an offence, which, ii not
condoned by instant marriage entails an inev
liable vendetta" upon the families connected.
In order it seemed, to bring the matter to a
crisis, the most impatient of due suitors awaited
himself of village tete, to salute his beautiful
mistress at the head OF a procession. He WAS
not the favored one, for the rustic beauty with
drew, without word, to her fathers house.
The friends OF the parties, knowing what must
ensue, rallied speedily around them; eight
lives were lost in the first encounter, and so
terrible and comprehensive was the feud, that
after the sacrifice of twenty more lives, the
survivors gradually abandoned the village,
leaving its ruins visible as a memorial of the
most sanguinary vendetta on record.
