RAILROADS IN TIE UNIrEo STATES. - The
world has probably never witnessed. in my
department Of industrial and mechanical
development, such an extraordinary phenom
enon as that of railroad cons .ruction in the
United State. during the last ten years.
Railroading had commenced long before, but
tbs larger portion of tho immense number
and magnitude of railroads in this country
las Teen made between 1850 and 1860. and
almost altogether between 1850 and 1857.
The number of miles of railway in the Union
in 1850 was 1851. The number of miles
now is 1876. Iowa, which had not sin
gle mile in 1850, now has 36l miles. Ohio
has moro than any other State. $3.50 miles
and New York next 1852 miles. Illinois
is close up to New York, having 2829 niles

in the heavens yesterday forenoon. An
immense circle, of bright, reddish light,
surrounded the zenith, and within the circle,
Immediately overhead, was q still brighter
half-circle, having the appearance Of rain
bow. At the same time there was dazzling
mock-sun on each side of the god of day,
The superstitious naturally supposed these
lie calamity, and some imagined they could
see figures and devices in the sky having o
meaning. 1t was apparent to every one, how
ever, that these signs in the heavens
indicated frosty and chilly condition of the
atmosphe ere.

Views and Policy of the Adj
111inistration.

Our letters from Washington speak of
the determination Of the President and his
Cabinet to bring the entire military force
of the Union to bear upon the rebellion,
as fully taken. Cur correspondent says:
81 dined along with a member Of the
Cabinet yesterday. The tendency ofthings
is such as will lead to very grave results
in few days. The policy Of the Admin
istiation is fixed, the whole power Of the
government, and tie money and men Of
the Vest and North, ,oik be used to put
darn rebels and traitors"
Another letter, the writer Of which is in
condition to be fully informed Of the
purposes of the Administration as any one
directly belonging to it, says:
..Let the country know that the a0hote
poorer Of the government wiH Be brought
into yeqassition to sustain the honor Of
the country and protecl the Capital at
ana sacrifice Of life or treasure. The
DoItcv IS definite aud unaltero6le. No
peace except upon the basis Of unqualified
submission of the rebels. No recognition
OF any pretended southern confederacy.-
No peaceable assent to a separation OF the
States.
1.-THE government is to be sustained IN
that stern and effective manner IN which
all governments are maintained when the
nurse and sseord are called into requisition
The leaders of the conspiracy are to be
driven from the country OF suffer condign
punishment. They have sought to over
throw the freest and best government 10
the world by the most infamous MEANS
and for the purpose Of setting up crush
mo military despotism. Their crime 81
gantic, and theirpunishment is to be Signal
and warning for all time to traitors.
"Proclaim these sentiments from the

supplies and provisions.
In addition to the above, the Post prints
the following, which is conclusive:
New YoRK, April 20, 1861.
/ To the Editors Of the Evening Post:
am authorized by the President 70
say that he IS determined--to prosecute the

SERVED HIN JUsT RIGHT Everybody

dia not serve long in the holy war of pull
ing down the fabric that Franklin, Wash

building up. Cause why? They got the
idea that he was spy, and so mercifully
stripped off bis uniform shaved one side Of
his head smooth, and one side of his killing
moustache, then tarred and feathered himand
shipped him Northward. in which impos-
ing condition he s'arrove'' home at the
Dell Bridge last Friday evening. The fun
Of the thing is that Leroy wasn't spy at
all, but in sober earnest. 1t is now propos-
