Railroad Observation-Disclosures and
Patarahnror


The advantages that would result to trade
and travel from extending the connections OF
the railroads that run through Petersburg and
Richmond, are so manifest that we are at loss
to understand how any opposition can be made
to it by the people Of either city. There seems
to be some vague idea among the inhabitants
Of Petersburg that the simple connection by a
city link of the Weldon and Petersburg road
with the Richmond and Petersburg road would
tend to injure the trade of their enter
prising and philosophical city. In what such
an opinion is founded we are at a loss to per-
ceive. The trade and travel designed for Pc
tersburg will stop there, whether this cOnnec-
ton is made or not. The presence or absence
Of city rail connection will not affect it either
way. SO the trade and travel destined for
Richmond will go on to its destination whether
omnibuses take the passengers, wagons and
drays the freight, or trains take both, from one
depot to the other. II does not consist with
the enlightenment of this epoch that two neigh
boring cities, and they, too, among the chief
cities of the South, should, through jealousy
or mistaken views, suffer themselves to become
embroiled in a controversy about an improve
ment that would be so advantageous to the
travelling public and to agricultural and COM
mercial interests, and which cannot, in any
conceivable manner, injuriOusly affect ihe
prosperity of either city. The perfection of
railway transportation consists In its Hnbroken
continuity, thus avoiding trsns-shipment of
freights, and needless, inoOnyeRient and ex-
pensive charges. These two breaches Of
continuity, the one in Petersburg and the
other in Richmond, constitute in their
oper.tion two distinct and unnecessary taxes
mon shippers and travellers, without, in any
manner. bene6tting the two cities or the two
roads. The transportation Of passengers by
omDibuses or hacks, and Of freights by wagons
and draws from one depot to another, is greatly
mora expensive than It would be by the trains
ovsr connecting links, besides causing useless
consumption Of time.
five understand correctly, the last Legisla-
ture granted charters to two cOmpsnies-One
in this city and one in Petersburg-toc construct
these connecting links Of railroad upon the
consent of the Councils of each city re-
spectively thereto. Neither Council seems
willing to act finally in the matter until the
other shall first show its hand, and they at

PROFESSOR AGAssIz.-The enthusiasm of the
naturalist appears as foolishness in the eyes of
the vulgar. They wonder how grown man,
possessed Of good education, can spend his
days and nights in watching ants, spiders and
bugs. The enthusiasm they manifest when
new species is discovered, exctes a sort of
cOntemptuOus cOmmiseration on the part of
rude and unlettered men. We find in the last
number of the Anglo-Brazilian Times an &C
count Of the scientific labOrs and researches of
professor Agassiz, in Brazil, that land of in
sect life. The account to which we refer re-
lates, however, to his aquatic explorations and
discoveries. The big and little fishes seem to
have attracted his especial attention. The
writer Of the account, one of the Professor
party, says that until his discoveries we're made
only a little more than one hundred specie.
were known. Wallace collected two hundred
and five in the Rio Negro his collection was
however, for the most part, lost. There is nc
exaggerstiOn in suppOsing the existence of two
to three thousand species in the valley of the
Amazon. The writer says:

A large number of the influential men of
Kentucky have published patriotic address
to the people of that State, appealing to all men
of all parties, who earnestly desire the restora-
ton of good government and the preservation of
a Constitutional Union, to meet in mass con-
vention at Louisville, SOth day of May, 1866, for
the purpose of giving the voice of the people of
Kentucky utterance upon the question of the
hour, and also to place her in harmonious rela-
lations with all men North, South, East, and
West, who are ready to Danish the passions and
prejudices engendered by the late unhappy
struggle, and unite in the restoration of con-
stitutional Union, freed of the excrescences
which have grown out ola state of war and
they invite all who wish the Constitution un-
rolled and expounded, and observed in all its
parts, and the complete restoration of civil au-
thority, with the restoration of the great writ
of human freedom, which is the citizens right
in time of peace, to meet in council on that day
and give embodiment to their united and har-
monious action.

OUTRAGEs IN KENTUCKY AND TEENEssEE.-The
Louisville (Ky Journal says that few nights ago,
in that city, Lieutenent Frederick, OF regiment
of negro troops, was in company with woman OF
ill-fame, behaving in an indecent manner on the
sidewalk, in front of house in which "check
apron ball" was going on. On being reprimanded
by policeman, he denounced the authority of the
police and went of. Soon after he returned with
eighteen armed men of his command whom be
stationed on various roads of approach to the

ding female negro thief went into house in ne

wench, he was met by party Of negro soldiers,
who, with many oaths, declared that he should not
arrest any one in their part Of the city, The officer
attempted to demonstrate, but they set upon him,
knocked him down and shamefully maltreated him,
and, at length, finding that he was unarmed, seve-
raj fired at him more than once with their pistols
In the confusion the thief escaped, but one negro
man was MORALLY wounded, whether by an acciden-
tai shot from his friends or outsider we could
not learn; but he died during the night"

Rerocession of Alexandria.

There is reason to believe that the plot concern

40 abhorrent to the wishes and feelings Of enths
of the people OF Virginia and the people of Alex
andria has been concocted by the advice of persons
in and and about this city. Such "retrocession

occasion of considerable conversation the streets

to state, universal condemnation. The mere fact
however, that a man occupying seat in the Senate
of the United States is not only willing to disiran
chise an entire community, but possesses the efron
terry to make that willingness public, is a sad and
eminous homily upon the morality of the times. We
trust that the proper measures will be at once inst
tuted and accomplished to present to Congress a
statement of the sentiments of ninety nine hundedths
of the citizens of this county upon the proposed an

Proceedings OF Congress.

WASHINGTON, April 20.
SENATE.-Mr. Sumner presented the petition Of
citizens of the United States declaring that where
as Mr.. Davis, Senator from Kentucky said, in dis
cussion of the Civil Rights bill, that, if that bill
passed. he should be compelled to regard himself as
an enemy of the Government; and, as that bill
passed. he is therefore, enemy of the Government,
and ought to be expelled"
Mr.. Davis asked that the petition be read, which
was done.
Mr.. Davis said that while the language quoted
was in part true, it nevertheless garbed state
ment inasmuch as the context was omitted.
The petition was referred to the Judiciary Com
mittee.
The bill to facilitate commercial, postal and mill
tary communications was discussed.
HoUsE.-Mr. Ingersoll, from the Committee on
the District of Columbia reported joint resolution
appropriatng two hundred and fifty thousand dol
lars, to be expended under the direction of the Com
missioner of Public Buildings to prepare the city of
Washington for the approach Of the cholera. Re-
ferred to the Committee of the Whole.
The Pacific railroad bill was discussed.
