Remarks of MT. sOuther,


In the House Of Representatives, jan. 30h, on the
Question of the Bible in Schools
Nh. Speaker Two considerations control
my action upon the question before the house.
They are these To compel the reading of
the Bible in a version from which many of
our people dissent; in the first place is iaerpe,
dent, IN the second place is not right 1t is in
expedient, first, because it fails OF its object.
The object OF Bible reading in schools, or of
our legislation upon the point, is not to testify
our regard for the volume, as though it needed
commentator from us. 1t is that the hearts
of our children may be imbued with its priu-
cples, their characters moulded, their steps di.
rected, their course in life made secure in vir-
tue by its reiterated instructions, that the
young man may walk safely amid allurements
to evil, eXempifying the truth of its own
beautiful language-"The law of his God is
in his heart, none of his steps shall slide"
This power of Gods word over the heart is
never gained, itnever can be gained, by COM
puIsion You may force the lips to utter the
words but you close the heart against their
influence. You do more You make that a
loathing which should be a delight-awaken
aversion where there should be love. The
object is not attained.
2. But farther. You not only fail of the OBJ.
ject Of Bible reading in schools, you endanger
our whole school system by the compulsory
reading. You drive of large portions of our
people to establish and sustain separate and
sectaran schools. One of the Chief ulories of
our school system is, that it embraces the chill
dren of our whole population. Those who
came in the last arrival from over the sea sit
as equals with those who trace their ancestry
to the Winthrops OF Massachusetts bay or the
Carvers and Bradtords Of The old COLONY. orr
schools are for all, and for all alike. How
much to be deprecated are any measures
which shall excite sectaran jealousies, and re.
move entirely from the influence Of our broad
liberal, and liberalizing institutions, those
most needing those influences, and shut them
up within tue narrow boundaries of sect.
B. Hence another evil, the perpetlatinp of
elanship-lhe keeping upof national peculiar.
ities--the dividing Of our people from aye to

The THRTY-sEcoND REPORT OF THE DI-
RECToRs OF THE BosToN AND WORCESTER
RAILROAD We have already given some
figures, copied from the report made to the
legislature, but we now present others from
the document above named. II appears that
the net earnings Of the road Tor the year 1861
were 1925 $50 10, and that the total expenses
for working the road were S473, 1913 81, or
90 9'l0 part ut earnings. To this sum eff ex-
penses has been added S31 SO 50, credited to
depreciation; $4,000 bonus paid to Western
railroad; Tor reducing curve at Brighton, So,
273 SO; which makes the total expenditure
S520,33S 40, or Sc per cent. Of earnings, and
the net income was S4O8, 594 80, from which
deducttwo dividends of 4 per cent. each, $780,.
600, and there remains a surplus income, UNI
divided of SIS 594 SO.
1t further appears that the decrease of in
come as compared with last year was the
large sum OF SIG, $50, %, or IL II 90 per cent
OF expenses, $50 ,O6O,48 or IA 1900 per cent.
and the decrease in net income was $50 $780,
"A The cost of fuel per mile run was with
wood; y $1,000 cents and coal 81 100 cents.
The total income per mile run was 1.75, omit
ting the fractions, and the total expenses per
mile were .9S.
Ne find in the report table of the number
of miles run by each engine during the year;
the cost of repairs Of each; the kind of fuel
used by each; the number Of miles run TO a
cord OF WOOD or the number of pounds of
coal consumed per mile. One, the Rocket,
run SO, 0lS miles which consumed 26.5 pounds
of coal per mile, at an expense of 7.l3 and the
cost OF repairs per mile was 4 80. The Jupi
ter which, in performance, stands second on
the record Iun 20 ,932 miles, which run, 90 4
miles to a cord of wood which cost 9.7S cents
per mile, and the repairs on which cost S1.56
per mile.
The total number OF miles run by passenger
trains was $40 $40, aud by freight trains 173,
265. The number of passengers carried was
LAG, 1894, aud the tons OF merchandise, 345,-
ia, The average rate OF speed OF express
trains, including stops, was So miles per hour,
OF accommodation trains %, and of freight
trains II. The road own 80 engines, 40 eight
wheeled passenger ears, and 275 eight.wheeled
merchandise cars. There were consumed
5l33 cords of wood aud 1881 TONS Of coal, at
total cost OF S58,573 24.
These items, we think, will have a general
interest The public have too much concern
in the management OF the railways to be i'll
different as to their expenses and income. \
railway fills too large space as one OF the
| great civiizing influences Of our day to permit
US 10 pass by unnoticed any clear and COM
prehensive statement OF the business Of any
one OF them, like that now before us AS our
readers will have seen, the general result OF
the years business cannot be otherwise than
satisfactory to the stockholders OF the Boston
and Worcester road. Indeed, the experience
of the last year, so disastrous to nearly all the
occupations of peace, has strengthened The
pre- existing confidence in our railways us safe
investments.

Neutrality and the Nashville.
From MIR. Weeds Letters to the Albany Journal
SOUTHAMPTON Jan. l l. 1862

SOUTHAMPTON, Jan. H. 1862
Mr.. Adams received dispatch late last
evening, from Earl Russell, stating that as the
United States ship Tuscarora had entered
Southampton with the evident intention OF en-.
gaging the confederate steamer Nashville, an
order from the admiralty office would be sent
Immediately 10 the naval officer in charge at
Southampton to deta;n the United States
vessel i'll port twenty-tour hours after the de-
parture OF the confederate steamer. l came
down from London this morning, to confer
with Captain BrittOn, our consul, and Captain
Craven OF the Tuscarora.
This new phase to matters will necessarily
change Capt. Craven's switch Instead Of
waiting for the Nashville, Capt. c. will leave
first, governing his course, outside, by the
best observations and calculation he is enabled
20 make. 1t seems that something adverse
turns up against us at almost every turning
Neutrality questions arise constantly and are
pretty sure TO tell against us. 1t is blowing
gale today, and neither vessel will probably
get to sea. The Nashville, in dock, shows no
sign; and the Tuscarora looms up outside.

The government has, believe, refused to
allow the Nashville to do any more than would
have been extended to merchant ship. No
arms, munitions, or war fXngs, have been
permitted Capt. Britain, the consul, gave
me copy OF an authenticated account which
shows every thing provided, with its cost

this neutrality net, may lose the opportunity
which lie so much wants, OF Furnishing this

1t is rumored that the Sumter is coming
here. The officers of the Tuscarora hope she
will, and say that they can manage both. So
far as CAPT, Britain observed The t.antain of
the james Adjar," the injurious reports, at.
fecting his character for sobriety, are untrue
am satisfied that if Capt. Craven gets along
side the Nashville or the Sumter, or both, he
will leave little for the government to do.

Last Saturday the New York money brokers
were considerably successful in getting up a
panic. Anonymous Geographic correspond
ents of one or two of the morning papers an
nounced that England, France, and SPAIN
were about to recognize the Southern Con-
1ederacy." Other statements to the same eff
feet were made, and supported by declarations
that such was the tenor OF all private letters
from Europe. 1t is evident that all this was
intended for stock jobbing purposes. Men
who as contractors would eagerly cheat and
steal, triiie without scruple with the anxiety
Of the people whenever it seems to them pos
sible to make money by doing SO. There is
nothing to warrant such representations. On
the contrary, it is positively declared in
official circles at Washington that the DISPOSE
ton of the French and English governments
towards us has at no time seemed more
friendly and peaceful than at present. a well
informed correspondent oil the New York
Evening Post, writing at Washington last
Friday, said -.

theme OF conversation here to day. Private

FRREDERIcK DOUGLASS, who is announced
to give lecture in Mechanics Hall tomorrow
night, we hope will be gratifed by large
audience. He is the foremost colored man in
our country, and, by virtue of his ability and
fame as speaker, deserves full house. In
his life, since his escape from slavery, he has
estimation OF the whites He is a living ex-
ample of the capabilities of the oppressed race
and has earned rightto give some "swashing
blows" 10 the abettors of slavery.
