Is THE House., Saturday, Mr.. ScorTELD
said he had no idea that the capital is to re-
main here:
THE action of Congress last session in
cutting down mileage would lead to its re-
moval, because when Western members
could no longer make fortunes by their
mileage they would insist on its being moved
westward.
"The fact of there only being a single line
of railroad between Baltimore and Wash
ington to connect this city with the North
and Northwest, would also have its effect on
the question Of the removal Of the capital"

Messrs. g.. B. and S. J. b .NGHAM
have their headquarters, and from
their mill at this point goes forth the
celebrated Moonlight on the Lake"
-four, which is so widely known and
so much admired by housekeepers.
We saw at the depot a lot of one hun
dred barrels, which our former towns
man, Mr.. BEMENT, was shipping East
as a sample of Hoosier manufacture.
Here, too, is distilled the famous
Andy johnson whisky, supposed
to be patronized largely by His Ex-
ceIlency, whose name It bears. At
the distillery are fed five hundred hogs,
and it employs fifteen men. In the
cribs were 25,oO0 bushels Of corn
