The Speed Of Railroads.

The Great Western Express to Exeter,
England travels at the rate of forty three
miles an hour, including stoppagcs, or
fif'ty-nine miles an hour without including
stoppaees To attain this rate. Il speed of
sixty miles an hour is adopted midway
between the stations. and in certain cx-
pcrimcrtal trips seventy miles an hour
have been reached. \ speed Of seventy
miles an hour is about equivalent to thir>
ty yards per second, or thirty five yards
between two beats of a common clock
All objects near the eye Of a passenger
travelling at this rate will pass by his eye
in the thirty fifth part of a second; and #
thirty-ive stakes were erected at the side
Of the road, yard asundcr. they would
not be dstinguishable one from another,
if painted red, they would appear collect
lively as IA continuous flash of red color.
Iftwo trains with this speed passed each
other, the relative velocity would be sew
enty yards per second; and if one of the
trains were seventy yards long, it would
pass BY in single second SIpposing the
locomotive Which draws such train to
have driving wheels seven feet in diame>
ter, these wheels Yill rcvolvc five times in
a second; the valve moves and the steam
escapes ten times in second; but as
there are two cylinders, which act alter
hately, there arc really twenty puffs or
escapes of steam in a second. The loco
motives can be heard to Cough when
moving slowly, the cough being occasion
ed by the abrupt emission of waste steam
up the chimney; but twenty coughs per
second cannot be separated by the ear,
their individuality becoming lost. Such
a locomotive speed is equal to nearly one
forth of that ola cannon ball; and the mo-
mcntum Of a whole train moving at such
speed would be nearly equivalent to the
aggregate force of number of cannon
balls equal to one fourth of the weight of
the train Exchange.

. Jefferson Davis to be Tried for
treason.

At length, says the Malone Gazette, it
Jefferson Davis is to be put upon trial be-
fore court and jury for the alleged crime
of treason, committed against the govern
ment Of the United States while acting as
the agent and representative head OF seven
or eight millions of people. 1t is said that
Charles O'Conor has received the Presi-
Dental "permission" to defend him. 1t
will be splendid defence, and will not
fail 10 revive the recollection of these great
principles of State Rights and self govern
mcnt which constituted the crowning glo-
ry of the system founded by the fathers of
the Republic. The trial, even, Of Jeffcr-
son Davis for treason proves that system
to have been overthrOwn.
But We agree with the editor Of the
Metropolitan Record, that by means of
this trial before legal and constitutional
tribunal 1--WE shall at last have an oppor-
tunity Of ascertaining. according to the
new principles Of government which were
inaugurated recently in this country, what
treason means, and how it is to be defined
hereafter Self government is to be put
ON trial in the person Of jefferson Davis,
and it could not find sterner, a truer. a
Drawer, or nobler representative. The
way in which this illustrious character
has been bounded by newspapers that have
exercised the freedom of the press but to
abuse and degrade it, is another instance
of the degradation to which we have sunk.
He has been maligred, vilifed, made the
object of the lowest blackguardism and
scurrility \ vile and infamous story
has been concoctcd that he attempted to
escape in his wife's dress 1t is needless
to say that this has been proven a pure
fabrication; but Jefferson Davis may for
give the malicious rcpresen tatiOns of his
enemies if they only permit him to be
heard in his own defence His is no era
ven nature that will shrink from the re-
sponsibiitcs with which he was charged
by sevea millions Of men, who proved by
their sacrifices that they were deserving
OF freedom and self government Let
him have 4 fair trial, and no matter what
his political enemies here may say, the
world will render a verdict in his favor
that history will not fai: to approve and
endorse"

your justice.
These strange incongruities must ever
pcrplex those who confound the unhappi,
ness of civil discussion with the crime Of
treason. Whenever rebellion really and
truly exists, which is as easily known in
fact as it is difficult to define in words
government has not entered into such
military conventions but has ever declin-
ed all Immediate treaty, which, should
put rebels in possession of the law of na-
tions with regard to war. Commanders
would receive no benefits at their hands
because they could make no returns for
them.
Who has ever heard Of capitulation, and
parole Of honor, and exchange Of prison
crs in the late rebellion in this kingdom
The answer to all demands Of that sort
was: We can engage for nothing, you arc
at the Kings pleasure. We ought to re-
member that if our present enemies be, in
reality and truth, rebels, the Kings gen
erals have no right to release them upon
any conditions whatever, and they are
themselves answerable to the law, and as
much in want Of pardon for doing SO as
the rebels whom they release"

\ lazy fellow was living in the woods
one warm day in autumn, under she'll
bark or hickory nut tree. While thus
employed he happene to look up, and,
seeing TIE nuts on the tree he bsgan to
philosophize, and say what he would do.
Said he:
"What queer world this is, to be sure,
it isn't made right at all, to my thinking.
Here are these little shellbarks, hanging
high up beyond the reach of man, while
those noble pumpkins in yonder field are
made to lie upon the ground. Now, if
| had my way, | would make the nuts
grow on vines trailing On the ground, and
the pumpkins should hang on the trees,
the larger the fruit the more elevated
should its position be-"
He had scarcely ceased speaking when
a nut from the tree fell pop into his eye,
nearly binding him. -a-

up in pain, if that had been a pumpkin l
would have been gone gosling. l guess

The New York merchants who contrib
uted to the fund to purchase magnif-
cent carriage and span of horses for Pres
ident Andrew johnson, have been kindly
informed by him that he cannot accept of
the magnificent present, believing it
wrong for persons in high stations to ac-
cept presents. Had the same amount
of industry and money been expended for
the benefit Of destitute widows and Or
phans OF that fast and wicked city, their
kindness would most probably have been
gladly accepted by those whose gratitude
and benedictions would have followed the
donors through life. But the funkey is
not in the habit Of helping any except
those who are able to help themselves, and
who will be likely to return the favor in
some manner.

SHERMAN VS.. GRANT-Some Wiscon-
ism soldiers who had followed Sherman
through his grand march, and shared his
triumphs, got into conversation at the
Detroit and Milwaukee depot, Saturday
evening. witha few other soldiers who had
been with Grant, in the army of the Po-
tomac. During the discussion one of
Grants soldiers said something objection
able about Sherman, which the latter's
champions took up Immediately, and
pitched in for fight. The Sherman boys
proved too "hefty' for the others, and
drove them off up the hill. They sholtly
afterwards returned with reinforcements,
but were quieted down before a second
engagement was entered into Detroit

The BegIigercnt Rights OF Rebels.

1t was proposed in England in 1777,
to bring the Americans who had been ta-
ken prisoners in the war to England, and
there try them for treason. Upon this the
great orator Edmund Burke. the champi-
on of constitutional liberty in the British
Parliament, said:
"War is at present carried on between
the Kings natural and foreign troops on
one side, and the English in America on
the other. upon the usual footing of other,
wars, and accordingly an exchange of
prisoners has been regularly made from
the beginning. If, Notwithstanding this
hitherto equal procedure, upon some pros
pect of ending the war with success, the
administration prepares to act against
those as traitors who remain in their hands
at the end fthe troubles, in my opinion,
we shall exhibit to the world as indecent
a piece of injustice as ever civil fury has
produced. If the prisoners who have
been exchanged have not, by that ex>
change, been virtually pardoned, the car
tel, whether ,ayowcd or understood is a
cruel fraud, for you have received the life
of a man, and you ought to return life
for it. or there is no parity or fairness in
the transaction. sh l.t a
If, on the other hand, we admit that
they who are actually exchanged are par
doned, but contend that you may justly
reserve for vengeance those who remain
.unexchanged, then this unpleasant ana
unhandsome consequence will follow: that

merely by the time of their guilt, and not

General Sherman made a speech ip
Chicago, Tuesday night, in which he said:
"Now there is peace all the way from here
to the Gulf, and you, gentlemen, know
what you must do now Instead Of des-
troying, you must build up; instead of in
sulting, you must conciltate, instead Of
discouraging, you must encourage those
who are willing to aid us in building up
this widely diversified land. You cannot
expect the people of Louisiana and the
people of North Carolina to feel as we do;
all parties have their prejudices, and we
must respect theirs as they must respect
ours. With this simple precaution, there
is no danger of this thing ever recurring
in our annels."
