While chronicling the proceedings OF
4 Congress and the movements Of ph)ifi
clans, ii is elninently proper that we
+ should occasionally notice what pertains
more Immediately to our own financial
interests. Among the great agents in
the growth and prosperity OF our civ.
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad holds
the first rank. Under its present able
management this central highway has
attained a magnitude and importance
OF which, the masses OF our people have
little idea. The capacity of this gigan-
tic corporation for business operations
may be imagined when we state that
it is now using three hauadred first class
locomotives and four thousand cars of
various grades, numbers ofthe most per-
feet construction and of the largest size.
There are more than 5eventy-hve trains
OF passengers and freight passing daily
over the main stem Of the Baltimore and
ONO Road, and the power OF the COM
pany. by its large additions of double
track, and Increase of facilities and equip
ments With its additional branches, is
being constantly enlarged. The fine
double track between Washington and
Baltimore renders the travel upon that
line both safe and expeditions. Travel
lers West or South, daily realize the SUI
perior Accommodations and facilities to be
found on this road, and it has deserved
ly obtained the reputation of the best
managed and safest railroad in the coun-
try. The recent extension of this line
to Europe, by means of its splendid line
of steamers, bids fair to increase greatly
Its own business and the prosperity of
the city of Baltimore. 1t is in eontem-
plation by the managers toorgani. ncn aw
roads and connections through VIRGIN
Ia with all the main Southern roads ca
as TO furnish the travelling public With
a more direct and safer transit throuoh
that section Of our great country. We
notice this spirit of energy and enter
prise in the President and Directors o.
this road with pride and pleasure. q, = !.

The United States Senate yesterday.
by vote of 10 to 10, passed the bill pro,
Vldlng for the admission of Colorado.
and we presume no serious objections
Will be offered to its adoption in the
House of Representatives as no import
ant influence will be exercised on the
composition of that body by the admis-
sion of single member. Although the
population of Colorado is comparatively
small, it may now be considered stable
and is probably destined to a rapid and
regular increase hereafter.
The Territory has suffered heretofore
from the mutations common to placer
mining counties, but has outlived them
all, and substituted lobe-mning inter
ests, which possess as much permanence
as those involved in the coal mines or
iron works of Pennsylvania. Large A.
mounts of capital being required to de-
velop the ineXhaustible treasures whicn
lie buried in the heart of the Rocky
the admission of Colorado
VIII exercise beneficial influence unon
her destiny, by giving additional securi- |
ty TO those who are disposed to make in.
md the aggregate wealth of the r nation'
will thus be greatly increased by this
important measure.

Tie Poverty Of alabama.

The Rome (Ga) Courier gives sad pic
ture of the distress now prevailing in
Cherokee and adjoining counties in Ala
bama confirming accounts from Mont
gomery, which we publish elsewhere.
Many farmers have been compelled to
abandon tkeir farms from their inabili-
ty to procure corn to enable them to
make crop. They offer to give lien
on the crop, their stock, and also the land
itself, to any one who will furnish them.
and they had hoped by some of these
means to secure feed for their stock and
bread for their families. until the wheat
harvest, that promises finely, shall be
available. But they have been disap-
pointed, and their present situation is
indeed deplorable. A meeting of the
planters was called at Centre a few davs
since, for the purpose of ascertaining the
actual wants of the people. About
hundred men were present, tive-sixths
OF whom, before the war, had been thrift
ty farmers. OF this number only seven
reported they had corn enough to do
them until the wheat harvest; for bush
el of corn now, they offer bushel of
Wheat after harvest, or ten pounds of
cotton next Christmas.

Uh0t Of tie Future 2

we have seen letters from the interior
OF the state that are full of encourage
ment tor the opponents of radicalism.
The conservative voters are generally
registering their names, much to the cha
grin of the radicals, aud the prospect for
the defeat ct the constitutional amend
ment Is highly cheering. 1t is not to be
expected that as large vote can be nolJ-
ed under the Registration act as there
would otherwise be, but the radical tick
ct Wlll suffer quite as much from the de-
fiency as the anti-radcal will. There
are many men in the State who have yo-
ted with the Republican party hereto
fore who feel and know that the policy
persued by the radicals is ruinous, but
who nevertheless fear to provoke radical
anger and insult by voting against that
policy. Many Of them, therefore, will
fall to register, and will stay away from
the polls.
But there must be 40 slackening effort
On the part OF conservative men. We
