RAILRoAD--The Marysville papers state that the
railroad is steadily progressing from Lincoln to-

point Of its connection with the Orovie railroad.

three weeks. 1t will be but a short until the
railroad will extend in q continuous line from

INTERESTING TO CHESS PLAYERS.
The New Orleans iSttn', Of the 14th,
IN its chess column gives us the fol-
lowing:
''Mr. Earnest Morphy. formerly of
this city, and now of Quincy, Illinois,
is now on visit to New Orleans. We
understand that although of late years
Mr.. M. has almost entirely abandon
ed the practice of chess, he still re-
tains his old fondness for it, and has
given Il good deal of his attention to
the theory of tie game. We are in
formed that the results of his labor
will soon be given to the world in the
shape of q book on the openings,
which will contain complete analysis
of the debmtS, including all the latest
discoveries in that important branch
of the science of chess. One pecu-
liarity Of this work will be the system
of arrangement adopted by the author,
by which he has been able to com
press q complete course of lessons
within a singularly small space. The
leading games will be shorn of the
greater portion of their formidable
cortege of variations, so repulsive to
the student, and which so unnccessa-
rily swell most chess books to incom-
mod1ous proportions.

INTERESTING TO BANKERS.- In

INTERESTING TO BANKERS. In
reply to q letter, the Commissioner
of Internal Revenue says:
Your letter is at hand in which you
state that when our national banks
We're establishing they purchased
bonds at a premium, and in making
up their dividends and surplus they
deduct such premiums paid as being
a part Of the expenses OF the bust
ness; and you inquire if this is cor
rect.
[ reply that such deduction is
ciearl y erroneous, rs tho payment of
premiums in bonds cannot be con-
sidered either Il loss or an expense to
the bank, but an investment of its
earnings. You will please notify the
banks that the amounts of their
profits, expended in paying premi-
ums, should be included in taxable
gains.

SPEAKER CoLFAX FAvoRs THE AD-
MISSION OF THE TENNESSEE MEMBERS.
The Nashville Banner of the 10th
makes the following important an
nouncement:
"We understand, from authority
which we regard as perfectly reliable,
that Governor Brownlow received a
letter on yesterday from the Hon.
Schuyler Colfax, Speaker of the
House of Representatives, in refer
ence to the admission of the Tennes-
see delegation. In this epistle Mr..
Colfax declares that he is for the
admission of our representatives on
the ground that the State was organ
lied during the war and before the
close of hostilities, and also because
it was the first State restored. But
this is an individual expression. Mr..
Colfax cannot vouch for the party,
which may fail to sustain him in his
opinion"
