the other side, members from PENNSYLVANIA
have deserted Mr.. Smith, after voting for
him. l have given as a reason that he is
not an American ; this confirms Mr.. Smiths
own statements to Mr.. Pendleton, and nv
own statement in his presence.
Heralds correspondence.-The proceed
ings in the House today demonstrated the
fact that Sherman cannot be elected. Six
of his friends from Pennsylvania and New
Jersey went over to Mr.. Smith of N. g.,
more to tantalize the democrats, not from
any supposition that the latter would con.
centrate upon Mr.. Smith, be being an Amer
lean, but to the CONSERVATION of these gents,
all the democrats, except Messrs. Holman
and Davis, of Indiana, and Allen, of Ohio,
voted for him, which would have elected
him had not five of the Sherman men taken
back track and changed their votes from
Sherman to Corwin and Pennington. They
did not do so until Mr.. Sherman rose and
recorded his vote for Corwin, making an ad.
ditional vote necessary to choice, which
was the signal of danger.

The Discussion In the House.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 27.-In the discussion
which preceded the vote for Speaker, Mr.,
Vallandigham, of Ohio, said he, under
standing Mr.. Smith to always have been a
Wing, and never anything but a Wing
and representing as he, MIR. Vallandigham
did, large and most respectable Wing
element, he was ready, whenever his vote
could be made efficient, to vote for Mr..
Smith for Speaker, over Mr.. Sherman. He
would not, in such case, be responsible for
the Reorganization of the House, if not a
dissolution of the Government. Public
duty demanded the waving of mems prefer.
ences as to the candidate, and the time
when his vote would elect a national man
Speaker over Sherman having arrived, he
would now vote for Mr.. Smith.
Mr.. Pendleton, of Ohio, said he repre-
sented a native and naturalized constituency,
of all religious beliefs-German and Irish,
Protestant and Catholic. His naturalized
constituents were honest and patriotic. He
would vote for no man who would prescribe
them, or whose sympathies were against
them. He had conversed with Mr.. Smith
and learned from him that he never had any
connection with the Know Nothing order,
or sympathy with its proscriptionol tests.
He, therefore, to organize the House on a
national basis, voted for Mr.. Smith.
Mr.. Cox, of Ohio, said that when Mr..
Smiths name was presented, he made in.
quiry and learned that he was an old line
Wing. His (Cox's) colleague, (Pendleton,)
had just been in conversation with Mr..
Smith, and reported that Mr.. Smith was
not only not Know \ othing, but that be
was opposed to the order and its principles,
and that he never had been, and was not
now a member of Know Nothing lodge,
but had denounced it. If this be true, and
I say it is, look Mr.. Smith, who is now
present, in the eye when [ assert it. There
can be no difficulty in giving him my vote,
in this emergency of the Republic, and de-
feat the Republicans.
An Old Line Wing, who is not in any
way connected with the offensive order, who
stands on the compromise of so, and who,
I understand, was elected over a gentleman
of the Slave Code, can vote for; but I
would not 60 out Of my party to vote, if I
was not assured it would produce an organ

or Know Nothing, and never
will; do not now :; l vote for an Old Line

Railroads In the Old World and the
New.

From long article in the United States
Economist, We gather some interesting facts
in relation to the number, cost, etc., of the
railroads of Europe and America. At the
close Of the year 1857, the length of railroads
completed in the principal countries of
Europe and in the United States, and also
the population of the several nations at
the time of their last census, were as fol.
lows:
No. No.. of Population of
austria. ..'....'.......... 2,086 100000 900
france: :............. 4,509 10000 600
Great Britain. ........ 9,O19 28,O0O,O 900
I nrGssia &C.: 2,544 100000
on Ts States. go: ;...: ZAP 100000
The length of railroad to every million of
inhabitants in each comfy, is. in the following
ratio Austria, So miles; France. l25
miles; Great Britain, 1922 miles Prussia,
l49 miles; and the United States, 900
miles. From this comparison it appears
that the length of road to each million of
the population of the United States is more
by 25l miles than the aggregate of all the
other countries compared and that our
mileage of railway, as compared with popu-
latiOn, is greater than that of Great Britain
by 18O per cent. The following figures
show the average cost per mile of railways
in the countries compared:
austria .................... 92,325
Delgium. ............... $3.50
i "neG. -. '..'.'........... l2o,340
Oreat BRITAIN. NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.. l74,750
German States, other than Austria and
TIussla. OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES. $3.50
RUSSIA. Observation-Disclosures. 72,430
Onlted otates... NATURALIZATION. Abs
From this statement it appears that the
cost per mile of the railroads of the United
States is less than one fourth that of the Brit
ish roads; one third of those of France; under
one-half as compared with Austria and
about three ffths of the Prussian lines.
Notwithstanding the fact shown above, that
the railroad accommodation of this country
is more extensive than all the countries of
Europe combined, yet the aggregate capital
invested in that species of property in Eng
land alone is larger than in the United
States. In the year 1857, the value of
railway property in the four leading nations
of Europe, and the United States, severally
stated, was as follows:
