AN AIR LINE RAILROAD TO NEW
YORK.

WAsHINGTOS, Nov. "a, 1865.
To The Editor Cf The National Republican:
was pleased to notice in your Issue of the
18th, the announcement that the project o.
another line Of communication between thii
town and New York, called the "Air Line
Road was likely to be pressed earnestly a,
the coming session of Congress.
This, too, is with no feeling Of hostility to.
wards the Baltimore and Ohio and 9th OF
roads forming the present avenue northward
During the past four years those roads have
done wonders in transporting men and stores.
To tho Baltimore and Ohio road particularly
the country is under an immense debt Of graf.
itudc; the faithfulness with which 1t has
been worked, the extent to which its powers
have been extended, and its power Of recu.
peration after partial destruction, under the
direction of William Prescott Smith, the
ablest railroad manager in this country, have
been truly wonderful.
But the business between the North and
South will be growing immense both in
travel and traffic, and will amply sustain
two lines Of paying road. While the noble
cities of Philadelphia and Baltimore, and
other local trade, will amply sustain the pres.
ent line, the wants of the public demand O.
straight, continuous road between the busi.
ness metropolis Of the country and tho South

10 in process Of organisation at New Orleans
for the purpose of raising Gotten by advancing
planters adequate means to cultivate their
lands. Tho necessary moneyis to DO ad-
vanced at the rate of seven per cont, S,cured
by mortgage. Profits are to be equally di-
vided. The company will furnish tho agri.
cultural implements required. The entire
cost of machines, mules, and labor is esti-
mated at twelve hundred dollars. Fify
acres, 1t is supposed, can be attended by one
hand and two mules. The entire cost Of
working fifty acres is put down at inside Of
six hundred dollars, and the net profits on
fifty bales OF cotton nt between seven and
eight thor sand dollars. Thousands Of scres
are lying; idle, asking the enterprise and in
dustry Of the world to come and reap tho rich
rewards they offer. It is said the negro can.
not be hired to pick cotton, but this is
doubted by those who have q good oppor-
tunity to form correct opinion on the sub.
ject. This plan is evidently good one, and
must soon bring the South up to the standard
1t occupied in its palmiest days in the pro-
duction Of its greatest staple.

THE sHENANDoAH AGAIN.

ject Of the Shenandoah piraoiss, and to-day
We give in another column the letter Of Capt.
WADDBLL, the corsair who commanded her.

his opinion Of what England would do in case
an American-built and manned Alabama or

as pirates such men as sENHEs and W wADDELL,
with their officers and crews, II they had
served English commerce as they have ours.
Whether they would do so or not 10 some.
what uncertain, as England has tackled and
vesred in various directions on this subject,
to suit her own interests. One thing is Ger
tain, however, that the minds Of respectable

business, in view Of its possible consequences

The Georgia Convention had sorrowrul
time over its work. 1t declared slavery abol.
ished because II was abolished, but reserved
all claims that slaye-Owners might have for
compensation on "the justice and magnanim-
ity Of the Government" 1t repealed" the
ordinance Of secession, but did not declare
1t null and void, thus leaving the right of
secession untouched. 1t repudiated the war
debt Of the State, but with many wry faces
and after much tribulation. The president s
closing address was, as an orstorical per.
formance, Of considerable preteusions.
At the end he produced "sensation and
applause" by metaphor in which ''our old
mother' Cthe State) Is "reduced to extrem-
ity, " and the convention is gathered round
her bedside to nurse her, to relnvigorate her
wasted body, and now almost paralyIed
limbs" But ho proposed to accomplish this
by driving back into her heart the vital
blood"
We must warn him plainly, however, that,
as any book on physiology will tell him, II he
attempts treatment Of this kind be will GER
tainly kill his "old mother" !" as the trouble
with her, as with most aged persons, to judge
from what he says of her symptoms, Is not
that the blood does not reach her heart, but
that 1t docs not reach her extremities.-I Tie

GOVERNOR WELLS, of Louisiana, has called
a meeting Of the so-callod Legislature Of that
State, in order that the Legislature may call
3 Constitutional Convention and get rid of
the Free State Constitution adopted in 1851.
The ex-rebels of Louisiana are going ahead
pretty fast but when they get slavery re-
established by law, we hope they will let us
know it.
This whole proceeding shows what may be
expected OF the rebel States when they are
left to themselves. They will all hasten to
change the constitutions which they have
adopted At the dictatiOn Of the President, and
with 4 view to get themselves restored to
political power. While under military con-
troll they will profess anything and do any.
thing that may be required of them; but as
soon as that control is relaxed. they will ap.
near in their true oolOrF. They cannot be
trusted. They must be kept under proper
supervision for long time to come. chi.

Tnl EXPLORATIONS or PRoF. AGAssIz in
Brazil, according to writer in the Provi-
dence Journal, are proceeding with pros
pect Of fruits far exceeding the expectations
Of those who have known most of the field.
The writer reports:
His party now consists Of four grand di.
visions, ono of which has for its fold the
peninsula lying south of Caprocorn, or the
city Of San Paulo, and between the Panama
river and the Atlantic Ocean. Tho second
division has the sea coast extending from
Rio de Janeiro to Bahia, and as far
westward rs the San Francisco river.
The third division has the Interior lying
west Of tho San Francisco and between the
tenth degree Of south latitude and the Tropic
Of Capricorn. The fourth division, at the
head Of which Is Professor AgassiE himself
has for its field the great valley of the ANA
zon, including its tributaries. This and the
coast section are the most interesting if not
the most important fields. To the latter
Professor A. gave some personal attention
during the first months Of his stay here, be-
foro proceeding to the field he had more es-
pecially determined to spend his strength
upon.
Brazil Is yet new undeveloped and almost
unknown country. II may therefore be rea-
sonably doubted If any previous event Of its
history has so affected its agricultural and
mineral development, not to say its civiliza-
tion and christianizstion, rs the scientific ex-
plorations now making under the supervision
and direction Of Professor Agassiz. That
BraIilians themselves arc not indifferent in
this matter, Is seen by the lively interest
they took in AgassiZ's lectures delivered in
Rio after his explorations made in this region,
and descriptive thereof.
II is we'll known that the benevolent Ma
thaniel Thayer of Boston placed $25, 900 at
the disposition of Professor AgassiI for the
purpose of this exploration of Brazil. Dur
ing the first few weeks of Professor A. IS stay
hero he spent 50, 900, about one fourth of the
whole sum. But brief course OF lectures
delivered BY Professor A. in this city, before
the Don Pedro Secundus College, paid the
entire expenses of the expedition up to that
time. The patronage given this course of
lectures argues no ordinary interest In the
subject.

There Is an improved demand for domestic
goods. Prices have declined so as to induce
larger purchases. Still prices arc very high,
and circumstances are conspiring to lead to
yet lower range. Prints show more firm
ness, and large sales have been effected dur
ing the week without . decline. Bleached
shirtings and sheetings have declined, and
brown light goods are lower, though the
heavy goods are steady. Ginghams COM
mand a better sale. Fancy cassimcres of
approved styles keep moving; such as dark
cords and stripes. Some spring styles are
selling by sample. Millions are scarce and
in demand. Delainss are much lower in
price, which has induced jobbers to buy
freely. Stripes and checks are very attract
i've. Tweeds are active.
There is fair demand for imported goods
Of desirable styles. A concession has been
made in prices. italian cloths are very quick
Of sale, IS we'll as fine black broadcloths and
heavy doeskins and beavers; the latter for
