The Effect Of Railroads upon PRO
Ioerty.
The "Railroad Record published al
Cineinnati, has an allie article upon the eff
feet of Railroads upon the appreciation Of
properly in Ohio. The editor says:
oWe have examined the valuation Of
property in large number Of counties,
and find that the Increase in those having
railroads is double the increase in those
which have no railroads; thus proving
conclusively that large part Of the in
crease III the State is due to railroads only.
If, now, we examine the relative effect
of the capital employed or one hand, and
Of the increase of capital, We find the fol-
lowing result:
Incre asc Of capital s45ooooooO
Cost Of Roads l10.00o000
The cost Of the roads has just one-fourih
the increased capital of the State. If,
then. the entire cost of the roads was
thrown away, the State has still acquired
three hundfed millions in the short space
of ten years. But, it is not supposable
that this sum is thrown away. The net
profits made by the roads will pay per
cent. interest, (which we may call pai), or
full two-thirds the entire cost. We may
safely say, that forty millions is all that
can be lost by railroads Of Ohio, while
two years benefit of the roads to farmers
a.one, will pay the whole sum.

Of hen, provided Gao i most generally
the case, it is not prematarely killed fol

mon American breed died natural death
at Newton Corner, at the age of nearly
fourteen years. The deceased was through
life an excellent lawyer, never offering TO
set unless she was placed upon a litter Of
eggs, when her faithful performance Of
maternal duties was worthy Of all praise.
But signs Of old agecame upon her. Her
joints became stiff, and her motions grew
feeble and slow. At last she was found
dead beneath her roost. She had no
long foreign pedigree, bat she was to The

After digging well thirty feet in lepth

came necessary 10 bore in order to obtain

who would venture to their relief, and by
having a rope passed around bis waist,
he went down into the well, and succeed
ed in rescuing them, after one had been
IN the we'll over two hours, and the other
three. Upon reaching fresh air shcy

gas still continuing 10 rush out, Mr.. White
threw down some lighted shavings, which
at once ignited the gas, and ever since il
has burned steadily. The flame is couple

if Messrs Porter and Dunn had not upset
their expectations on the part of the Locos,
we do not believe they would have been re-
allied. II is possible that those South
Americans whose opposition to Loeotocolsm
sits about as loosely upon them as their
morning gowns, might have taken the
plunge, on the ground that Mr.. J. G. Davis
is not dyed-in-the- Loco but there
were others of that little band, whom we
believe an equitable distribution of all the
offices n Christendom, much less in the
House, could never have seduced from their
allegiance to their party, and amongst them
we are proud to enroll the names of Winter,
Davis, Harris, and Webster. We believe
they would, like Mr.. Clay, suffer their right
arms to drop of, before they WOuld go
over to Locofocoism, either directly, or in
directly, and that this is the opinion OF their
party throughout the State, we have the best
evidence for believing.
From the developments made by Messrs
Adrain and Briggs, on Friday last, we take
it, neither of them would have gone for
Mr.. J. G. Davis, even if ,he had been nomi-
mated
We know, from the beginning, that Mr.
J. G. Davis has ihad. his eye fixed on the
much coveted Chair, but Mr.. Miles failed in
e making a.spoon, while Messrs Dunn
and Porter lsucceeded most admirably in

Matters and things in the House of Rep
resentatives continue to be interesting The
strife on Thursday was quite spirited. There
was a general rush from all parts of the
Hall toward Messrs. Haskin and AlcRae af-
ter the two gentlemen had insulted each
| other, some of the members wishing no
doubt to keep them apart, but the greater
number to see the fight Mr.. Haskin how
ever proved incapable of handling his tools
/, sk;llfully, for he 19t his pistol fall either
| from his hand, pocket, belt, or bosom. TaE
rush probably came in good time for him.
| When we were in Washington two or
three weeks ago, we heard from all quarters
that the great mass of the members of both
| sections were heavily freighted with all sorts
of portable facilities for letting blood. We
| believe we were rather a pet of both sec
tions, and we hope we betray no sacred con-
fidence in saying, that whenever Northern
or Southern members got little maudlin
! and threw their arms afeetionately around
us (of course to steady themselves) we al
most invariably felt the butts OF pistols and
tho hats of bowieknives press against our
shrinking frame.
One morning we put our overeeat in the
rack at Browns Hotel and wentin TO break

pected to be an Internal machine, we took
! up the next, and 10, there was big pistol

EGsSome events in the life of Mr.. Wig
fall the new Senator from Texas who takes
Gen. Houston's seat strikingly illustrates the
state of Southern society, and the barbarous
practices of men educated under the dueling
system. Several years ago Mr.. Wigfall
was a resident of South Carolina, and q
member of the Legislature of that State
A difficulty arose between him and Mr..
Brooks, the father of the late Preston
Brooks, and Mr.. Wigfall posted Mr.. Brooks
as u rascal and coward, after the Southern
fashion. Mr.. Bird a son of the then wife of
Mr.. Brooks, came to town about the time,
but in ignorance of the difficulty, called on
Mr.. WigElll, with whom he was on friend
ly terms, and invited him to his then ap-
proaching wedding. The two gentlemen
were proceeding through the streets togeth-
er, when the placard i'm question attracted
Mr.. Birds attention. Turning Mt once to
Mr.. Wigfill, he asked if he, MIR. W., was its
author Mr.. Wigfall responded that he
was. Mr. Bird then said he would tear il
down Mr.. Wigfi,Il forbade him at his per

Mr.. Bird was killed by Mr.. Wigfall- A son
of Mr.. Brooks, Sen, took Hp the quarrel aud
challenged Mr.. Wigfall. They met. MIR.

and then discharged his pistol in the mir.
Immediately afterward Mr.. Wigfiill receiv-

Brooks, known subsequently, for his assault

/ however, was not allowed TO subside, and
TO avoid further bloodshed, Mr.. Wigfall

READING MATTER ON EVERY
PAGE,
A Family letter.

One of the most important papers which
has emanated from the South for sometime,
is the letter of Rev. Robert J Breckenridge,
of Kentucky-a distinguished divine of the
Presbyterian Church-to his nephew, Hon.
John c. Breckenridge, the Vice President of
the United States. From the early organi-
zation of Kentucky up to the present time,
the Breckenridge family has been Un0 uff the
most famed and influential families of that
State. The Vice President, John c., was
last month elected with great unaniInity a
United States Senator, in place of Senator
success, and with the many tlattering en-
coniums passed upon his worth, his talents,
and his chivalry, he made Kentucky glori-
fication speech at the State Capitol, wherein
he took strong grounds in favor of" South
ern rights " and slave code, and mich Of
tended his Northern political friends, who
had regarded him favorably as a safe and
popular candidate for the Presidency
The heresies of the wayward nephew were
+" too much for the old Doctor, and he adj
dressed him long letter Of family advice,
couched in friendly language, and breathing
some noble sentiments of patriotism, while
he expresses ideas upon the political topics
of the day worthy of his great mind, and
statesmanike in their character. DR.. Breck-
enridge, for a quarter of a century and
more, has been one of the leading theolo-
gians and divines of the country, proud of
his Kentucky home, and always loyal to the
true interests of the South, and. his views,
expressed in the earnest, candid, and elo-
qucnt spirit of this letter, should have their
due weight, not only with the young Sena-
tor, but also with all the wise and patriotic
in all parts of the country. We do not agree
entirely with his views on political sub
jectS, but we accord to his letter much abil-
hy, and certainly respond to the patriotic
sentiments expressed in it. We haze fallen
upon perilouS and foreboding times for the
Union, when men high in office, Senators
and Representatives in Congress, car utter
sentiments of disloyalty and disunion in our
State and National Legislative Halls, in the
hearing of their CO. amon country, and are
suffered to utter ? a unrebuked. We are
glad to see the old fathers in the Church,
whose grey hairs, earnest, holy lives, and
noble minds, have gained the respect of
their countrymen, raise their voices against
this unhallowed war upon the peace of the
country, and the perpetuity of the Union,
and especially are we glad to read this letter
coming as it does from the leading divine of
the South.
