1t is not true as some correspondents

complaining of outrages in the South,
and in brief message to recommend
that some means be adopted to secure

RAILROAD FROM THE OUACHITA TO
UPPER RED RIVER.


..s,,..,y.s..a,...-- s.s..ase r-
Senator Futch, of Union, has, given
notice In the Senate, of his intention to
introduce bill to incorporate the Tren-
ton, Farmerville and Fulton Railroad
Company. We have no doubt rail-
road from Fulton, in this direction,
would be "a paying road,H and that
either as a separate road, or as branch
road to the North Louisiana and Texas
road, it will some day be built. But
our impression is, that a careful survey
of the country and an estimate of the
expenses and revenue of a direct road,
as compared with those of one, answer
ing the same purposes, intersecting the
N. l.. g. T. Railroad some sixty. miles
west of this, will lead to the conclusion
that the latter is to be preferred. The
selection of routes, suppose the enter
prise be undertaken in earnest, would,
no doubt, greatly depend upon the
disposition shown by contending COM
munities to aid the road. 1t is point
with railroad companies to build only
paying roads, and to obtain all the help
they can. They have no local pride
and no favorites, but go on the princi-
pie that the country needs railroad
most which contributes most literally
to its construction, and which WIN sus-
tain it with the heaviest freights and
greatest travel, when once built.
We trust Mr.. Futch will be able to
secure charter for his company, and
that capitalists may be found who will
build the road. North Louisiana has
great need of railroads owing to the
scarcity ofnavigable streams, and she
has a claim upon the State to liberal
aid, from the fact, she has contributed
for almost half a century to internal
improvements in middle and southern
Louisiana, in the construction of which
her people had no interest, and from
which they have never derived any
profit. 1t is no credit to our legislators
that in this enlightened age, and with
millions Of Indebtedness incurred to
build levees, excavate canals and
dredge rivers, there are to-day hun
dreds of farmers in this section of the
State, who have contributed to the i'm
provement of every other section, who
are hauling their cotton sixty and
seventy miles to market with OK
teams, over miserable roads, and pro-
cure their supplies of sugar, flour, coffee,
bagging, &C., in bad crop years, even
their corn, in the same tedious, expen-
sive and ruinous manner. There should
be at least half-a-dozen railroads sur
veyed and built in North Louisiana,
and the State should contribute to their
construction. The country needs them
and the population deserves such sue
cor from the State.

The pcrinacious opposition by English
Tories to the Washington Treaty is incOmpre-
hensible. Although that famous convention
has been ratified by both countries. amidst the
congratulations of the civilized world, and
with genuine and hearty burst of enthus-
asm from the people of both countries, these
snarlng politicians cannot hold their peace.
Sir Charles BOwyer Adderly, Member of Par
Lament from North Stailordshire, has been
making over again in the House the same dull
speech denunciatory of the Treaty which has
been so often made by others. Adderly seems
to be a Rip Van Wrinkle in the House of
Commons, grumblng disCOntentedly at world
which has gone past him.

danger of carrying too much steam! mo
Superintendent swears that he repeatedly
found fault not only with him but with all the
engineers, for carrying a greater pressure than
the law allowed; and though he was con-
stantly dsobeyed in this important matter,
he never had discharged an engineer for the
disobedicnce. Robinson admits that he OFTEN
carried 81 pounds, and within year bad car
ried 20. He thought there was no harm IN
exceeding the amount allowed by the certlii-
cate-making steam, in fact, till 1t blew OH
by the Government locked gauge at ",
although that gauge only indicated the pres
sure. and did not relieve it. He knew that at
% even the safety-valve (supposing it to be
in order) would not let the steam escape as
fast as it was generated
But the truth is, nobody can tell under
what pressure Robinson used to run his boat
An expert (Mr. LighthalD testified, on Thurs
day, that "the safety-valve was Ill shock
ing condition" 1t was so badly corroded
that it could not be relied upon as an
indication of the pressure. Though it had
been originally loaded at 25 pounds, it seems
to be pretty certain that rs pounds to the
SQUARE inch would not have raised it, and it
is impossible to say what would. Yet this rusty
valve was the only gauge to which Robinson
trusted He was asked whether the locked
gauge had ever registered more than ~
pounds. Yes, it had; but as it did not agree
with the safety valve, he had it altered. Now
the safety-valve, as we have seen, was rusted
and untrustworthy, and for aught we know
the locked gauge, being made to correspond
with it, may therefore have registered q
when the true pressure was IS or 40. Practl-
cally there were no precautions at all against
Over-pressure.
Now we know that extreme pressure is not
the only cause of boiler explosions, and per
haps it was not the cause of this one. The
propeller Globe came into the port of Chicago
in 1860 with pressure of 80 pounds, and blew
up few hours later when the pressure was
only 10 pounds. But excessive pressure Is by
far the cOmmOnest cause of such disasters,
and we have learned enough to satisfy us that
on board the Westfield not even ordinary
diligence was exercised to guard against 1t.
That fact is enough to condemn the Company,
and to arouse us to the necessity for
thorough inquiry into the management, not
alone of this corporation, but OF steamboat
companies generally. How many engineers OF
the class to which Robinson belongs are
trusted daily with the lives of our people,
engineers who do their duty faithfully up to
certain point, and satisfy their employers, but
are too ignorant to understand their own de-
ficiency in the higher qualifications properly
demanded for their lpositionf One expression
of Mr. Vanderbilt's, uttered III his own behalf,
has done more to alarm the public mind than
direct confession of carelessness. 81 con-
:" slider Henry Robinson" he said" the best en-
"gineer in the service of the Company" If
that is so, we must lose no time in having the
whole guild of steamboat engineers examined
They must be worse than the druggists
