There is no gassing or blowing in re
gard to tho operations of this road but
tho work is moving on as rapidly as pos
sible in a wholcsomo and substantial
way. John D. Gray, who has contract
ed to have tho first twelve miles ready

next, is ono of tho most energetio and
reliable contractors in the South and a

A Serious Dirricui.TV at V.an Wert*
—Wo aro informed tlmt it serious diffi
culty occurred in Van itfert, on lust
Tuesday, between Mr. lion. F. Morgan
and Mr. Kvann, a merchant of that
place. Our informant states that Mr.
Kvnns was stabbed two or tlirco times
with a iword eano, and that Mr. Mor
gau was shot at soverul times, ono bull
taking effect in his breast. It is believ
ed that both aro dangerously, if not
futully wounded. The difficulty is said
to have originated on account of Mr.
Kvaus having used insulting language to
Mrs. Thompson, a daughter of Mr. Mor
gan.

Determined to be a Martvr.—San
born, who was recently arrested in Con
cord, Mass., by order ol the U. S. Sen
ate, nnd rescued by a mob. seems deter
mined to In* a martyr lie curries the
“manaclon,” or handcuffr, which the
Marshal was obliged to put upon him,
about nt public places to exhibit at
meetings. He declares his intention to
resist the Senate to the Inst, mid his
fanatical friends in Concord are disposed
to bank him in that determination. At
a public meeting it was resolved that
“resistance to tyrants is obudienco to
God.” This resolution to resist by
force, did not prevent them getting the
Inwon their side; for they have got up
a fictitious cliargo against Sanborn and
made him give hail to answer it. which
will hold him iu Massachusetts till after
the U. 8. .Senate adjourns.
Another Oberlin Sensation—A Negto
is Stripped* Cowhtdedf nnd Driven
from the Town.
On Monday lost a negro arrived in
Oberlin, nnd begged roflige and protec
tion, claiming that ho was a fugitive
slayo from Kentucky. As somo sus-
R leion existed as to his being a genuine
igitive, he was taken before the mayor
for examination. Tho mayor, aftor a
closo examination, could not decido
whether the negro was afugitivo or not,
and declined having anything further
to do witli the case. Tho negro loft tho
mayor's office, but no sooner reached
the streot than ho wns seized by a gang
of negroes, who stripped him, and cow-
hided him until the blood, spirted from
bis face, back and breast in torrents.—
Ho was then released and told to leave
town at once. Ha started, but the
black brutes, not satisfied with whipping
him to death's door, pursued him for
two miles with olulm mid stones nnd
hideous yells, Tho ringleader in this
brutal atl'uir was ono Evans, a negro,
ami ono of the notorious Oberlin res
cuers. We receive these particulars
from reliable citizons of Oberlin, who
witnessed the transaction. Oberlin is
completely in the hands of the negroes,
and their rulo, like that of Huyti and
other places where blacks are In power,
is pompous, despotic,and brutal.—Cleve
land (Ohio) Plaiiulealer, 4th.
Stcain Fire Engine*.
The "Scientific American” has tho fol
lowing correspondence:
Louisville, Kv„ March 28.—Hero in
Louisville we have disbanded the old
companies of hand enginos; wo have
five steam fire engines of Cincinnati
manufacture, I believe, and the wonder
ful change to the citizens is highly agree
able. The loss by fire is trifling com
pared to former times. Resides tho sa
ving of property and expense to the cit
izens, there is also the great luxury of
resting after retiring to bed. Fires now
seldom take place, and when they do,
instead of the great noise nnd confu
sion usually attending them, every
thing is conducted quietly uml with des
patch. When the alarm is given the
fuel is lighted, two horses in the mean
time being attached to the engine (tlicsH
operations occupying but four minutes
nnd the machine is driven through the
streets with its much ease ns a private
carriuge. When arrived at the flro tho
steam is up, and the engine ready for
operation. The result is u quick extin
guishment or the flames. Thus is scon
the importance of small machines; but
tilde time Is reouired to get them on
the spot, and when there they can be
handled with case—can betaken to al
leys ami back I daces, which it would be
impossible to do with lurger machines.
There is not a town or city but would
save a large nmount of property by
using small steam fire engines. I
trust the time is not far ofi* when these
kind of machines will conic into gene
ral use.
A Traitor Returned.—Dr. Ilowe, of
,1 dim Drown notoriety, passed through
ibis city on Saturday, on his way from
tpiehuc lo Boston. As soon as he heard
of the decision of tho Supreme Court
of Massachusetts in tho case of Sanborn,
lie resolved to quit bis retreat iu Cun-
ada and return homo. Why did he
run away ? (V course, because lie was
guilty. Does be now return because lie
thinks Abolition Massachusetts will
protect him from attending even as a
witness to tell what he knows? Wo
hope she will not do it.—Portland Argus.
New York correspondent of
the Mobile Ulster ridicules the idea of
men going to Charleston, and boarding
on steamers ut the Charleston dock.—
He says:
“No steamer should be made a board
ing house, unless it pay n license of five
thousand dollar*. It is mean to go
down to Charleston and carry our din
ner with u*. I oil opposed to it. You
uy bet your life that no Druglas dele
te goe* sneaking into Charleston with
scout pocket filled with crackers and
cese, and his overcoat containing dried
cf, herring, and a Kodit bottle of gin.”
An Aitbal.—TwonholitionUt*. named
Hlountand McKinney,who made them
selves so obnoxious to tlio people of
Dallas, Texas, last summer, nnd were
summarily expelled from the country,
have petitioned the Legislature of loiva
and Wisconsin to demand redress from
the State of Texas.
Homicide in Lumukin.—Wo learn
from verbal report, says the Columbus
Enquirer, that on Sunday, the first day
of April, a ditficulty occurred between
two young men in Lumpkin, named
thudding and Aiduy, the former charg
ing the latter with sending him an
“April fool” letter just received ; and
the sad termination of tho affair was
that Guuidiug stabbed A May with a
pocket-knife, tho wound proving fatal
in a short time. We learn that the
parties wore relatives ; also that
Gauldiug was in custody on Monday
morning.
8gy*The proprietors of the three prin
cipal hotels, the United States, Union
Hall and Congress Hull at Saratoga,
havo agreed not to open their houses
thisyear until the 15th Juno, insteadof
the first as heretofore.
Postponed.—Tho Choice case, which
is docketed for adjudication by. tho Su
premo Court during its present session
at Ailuutu, has been postponed, on ac
count of the indispotitiou of Ik 11. Hill
Esq., couiisol for the appellant.
Murderous Affray »*. Columbia
Coustv.—We learn that a slave man,
belonging to Mrs. Face of Columbia
county, who was at tiio time a lunatic,
killed threo slaves on Monday night,
tho property of Col. Turner Clanton, of
this city, nt ono of his Columbia planta
tions, and that Col. Clanton’s overseer
sliot and killod tlio lunatic, tliero being
no other moans of preventing ldm from
doing further harm.—Augusta Chronicle
<t* Sentinel.
An Oregonian Orcuard.—Tho Port
land (Oregon) "Advocate,” in refer
ring to Meek it* Eddy’s orchard at that
place says:
“Thoro aro fifty acres of orchard and
nursery grounds. Forty thousand feot
of lumber wns used lost year for mak
ing fruit-boxes. This at $20 per M.,
would cost $1800. This year their busi
ness will require si.x;ty thousand foot of
lumber. From thirty six to thirtv-oight
thousand bushols of fruit were cherries
nears and plums. The gross sales of
last year, above all freights and commis
sions, after tho fruit left Portland, woro
$30,000. Tho year before they wore
$20,000.

purposes, provided they should meet
with no further mishap. No other de

The Subterranean Wonders of the
Western Alleihnnlnn Slope*
Tho Kanawha “Republican thus dis
courses on this theme:
The subtorranean wonders of tho great
Western. Alloghanian slope continuo,
from timo to tlmo, to ho developed to
the astonishment of the intelligent
dwellers upon the surface. There can
bo no doubt that Nature has had for
centuries and still lias, her workshops,
or great laboratories, hero and thero un
der Month tho surfaco of tho great re
gion of country, embracing a largo part
of Western Pennsylvania Trans-Allo-
gliatiian Virginia, and parts of Ohio nnd
Kentucky, iu which she employs all her
most potout chemioul agencies and af
finities. Tho extent of her manufac
tory of gas down in tho lower regions,
near Malden, on tho Kuuuwliu rivor
Uiny bo estimated by tlio fact tlmt when
in tlio spring of 1844, in boring a salt
well, at I lie depth of 1,000 loot the au
gur struck the reservoir of gas, the
stream of gas that rose to tho upper
surface was so iioworful us to shoot tho
whole boring apparatus, consisting of
ono thousand feet of poles ami a sinker
"picking five hundred pounds, into tlio
r,Tike an arrow. Tho stream of gas is
three inches in diameter, and lias been
blowing up with unabated forco, day
and night, for sixteen years. When
our ruilrond is completed, this gas may
bo turned to somo account. Pipes may
bo laid along the road, so ns to light
up by night tlio whole road East to
Richmond and west to Cincinnati, nnd
then enough to spare to light up throe
cities.
That in tho same region thero is an
extensive subtorranean manufactory of
oil admits no doubt. The oil muke* ’its
uppourunco on tho water of our river,
and in places comes up to the surfaco of
tho earth. Darrels of it havo been
gathered. Thus nature invites the
search for tho grout reservoir thut is
doubtless way down below.
Tiie Secret of England's Greatness.
It was a noble and hcuulilul answer of
our tpiceii, says the British Workman,
that she gave loan African prince, who
sent nil embassage, witli costly presents,
undusked her in return to tell ldm the
secret of England's greatness and Eng
land's glory; nnd our beloved Queen
Kent him not the number of her fleet,
nor the number of her armies, not the
letails of her inexhaustible wealth.—
''lie did not, liko Hezekiah, in an evil
hour, show the embassador her dia-
nml her rich ornaments, but
handing him a beautifully bound copy
of the Bible, she said, “Tell tlio Prince
that this is the secret or England's
greatness.”
Tiie Power ok Mumc.—A few even
ings since a bitty iu Lexington, Michi
gan. was playing mi a mclodiun, when
mouse emerged from a corner of the
room, ran up tremblingly to the instru
ment, then ascended tho dress of tho
performer into her lap, and finally nes
tled under ho basque. Tho little uni-
nml was in such ii high state of ccstacy
that it was utterly powerless, and had
the performer continued longer it would
have expired.

Sugar-Making—Soutii-Western G
—The editor of tho Savannah Republi
can, travelling in South Western Gear
gin, writes as follows:
“On my way down (through Lowndes
county,) 1 noticed several sugar-boilers,
and learned that nearly nil tho sugar
consumed is made by tlio planters. It
is said to lie quite profitable, and thought
by some to lie u better crop tlinn cotton.
It is nu*.sold by the pound, hut by the
barrel. It is first pucked away in flour
or whiRkev barrels, and then set aside
to drip; after which a Hour barrel full of
sugar commands $15, nnd a whiskey
barrel $20. Some are very expert, and
produce an nrticlo not far behind the
Lest sample of new sugars wo
market. The syrup is very good, and
sells from 37j to 50 cents per gallon.—
Rice, I find, is also raised in sufficient
quantities to supply all home wants,

must be considered as broken off. That
His Migesty will understand tlmt helms

nnd is formally excommunicated. The
Holy Father reserves to himself the du
ty of taking into consideration the in
terests of tho Universal Church and the
good Catholics of Piedmont, before pro
ceeding to soveror measures, which, in
any ovont, weigh from henceforth upon
tlio ]>ersoji of tho King, he fjord my»,

The Late Massacre at Rome.—The
London Times, recoived by tho Feraia,
contains a letter giving full details of
tho lato massacre at Romo by tho Papal
