though it mu* monotonous to see everything white

-1 MM : !• I, not less by the wanta of the business com
j 'outii y, than the eomp •ny’« own interest. A pole
l< i graph can n.-ver, it »eem« to me, be profitable,
f**r it is peculiarly the plaything of the elements,
•.mi f .rex er at the mercy of tue winds. In this con-
I uc.'iiou, an item occurs to me, which may or may
j n i be of inb test to your readers, I take the risk.
I have recently seen a paragraph, purporting to be
II abstract of a report made to some scientific body
j in Turin, l.y an Italian Signor, named Bonoili, on
( 'he practicability of usii:- railroad tracks in lieu of
. wires for purposes of telegraphing. It stated that
j trains in motion, provided with the requisite instru
i in« nts and connected with the track by a rod trail
; ing upon it. were enabled to communicate with each
other, and with stations along the route. Now this
c,i-;-ovary, if such it be, is a great one, nn.l I had
hoped that experiments would have been made, ere
thi *. in our own country, with a view to tost its
value, ll in at least, worth trying; but my own
opinion is, that when tried, the track will refuse to
transmit.
Arrived at Grit's, sflor taking a breakfast-din
h».t, or a dinner-breakfast, for our meal answered
f'»r both, most of the company gathered around the
roaring fire in the gentlemen’s parlor. There were
s vcral legislators present—gentlemen from several
Sou —two reporters, a Judge, an M. C., jnst from
Washington, and on the mantle-piece a portrait iu
a T ; it frame, of “Little Aleck,” which was “dressed
up fine,” aiul flatters him not a little. What could
you exper t from such ft gathering but a dish of
politics 7 This wo had, from noon until dark, spiced
with personal anecdotes about the great men of the
c.'unUy, their looks, manuers, chances for the Pre
sidency, Sic. Anon there was a bit of controversy,
tbi n a joke, then nn attempt to solve the problem,
“How long will the Union last V’ —and so on and so
forth, the M. (\ bearing his part, but not taking more
than iiis share, and proving himself a very pleasant
and intelligent gentleman —though a Democrat.
The Savannah and Augusta trains came in about
night, bringing in quite a number of “members,'’
and travellers, and altera substantial supper, we all
hastened down to the Depot, to take passage. Egyp
ihru darkness wits around us, mixed with Siberian
cold, w hile the wind as it shrieked in our ears, cloar
ly demoiT tinted that it was blowing pins and nee
.ll, s, us th sailors snv, and ns Lieut. Maury, I have
no doubt has fully described in his late book, “Gra
cious, how cold it w us!’’ It was uncertain whether,
when wo got to Gordon, we could go on to Milledge
ville tli.it night ; and if we onu, said I to myself,
t hen* is half an hour in the cold at Gordon waiting
for your trunk, and another half, before you got lid
of your check at Millodgeville. 1 began to get
dubious about plunging through such a night in a
B.i.iroad car ; iny doubts soon took the form of a
presentiment , and nil the while that I stood theie
shivering and revolving these things in my .mind,
tl.c light from the big Are at Gray’s, was playing over
win.low panes in full wiew, and speaking o'
t\. ifovt and good cheer within. I looked up the
Load, or rather tried to do so. I listened to the
,*n h.t mutt ring to itself, and then took another
v k s. of tlume cheerful windows. Tliey brightened
up in l turm d, and my mind was D'ade up. “No,”
I Kiid I , to th*'rapine, (the conductors was notin
j iking distance,) * , you don't get me this night,
1 <• > .u- what will.” And seizing my trunk, I bolted
s Ml o bL fire. Nobody would follow me ; they
up to Gordon—no train there from MilletigeviUe,
„n 1 lmd to go on to Macon, and try it again yester

"Low it would bo. But, as old E 111 esays,

l beiicvc I have written about enough, lint I will
go c you on,' or two more paragraphs, and quit un

would be unpardonable in me to omit, and is as
follows:

Satin day night, while sitting around the big fire, in
company with several railroad men—conductors
a „! engineers—one of the latter observed, “the

La' 'em. If it lad not been for the “the,” I would
have been worse puzzled than ever; but that one
word explained the riddle. lie was talking of three
lva?i th w locomotives I then took occasion to re
m.uk that i should like to see the ‘ Chronicle’’ very
much, a«> it would afford mo a pleaaant item for your
j>Hper. “Pshaw said he: **lt won’t matter about
that. The A. R. Lawton, out here at the depot, is
the imane of the Chronicle ; go aud take a view of
that.” I believe he was only quizzing me, and

they have been for some years*. Should the Coin

For the Chronicle 4* Sentinel*
.Sevastopol Retaken.
Last October an article headed “Sevastopol Ta
k**n,” and giving, In glowing language, tho details of
tho defeat of the American party of Newton, was
published in the Conatilutioncilut.
Without the fancy of that writer, let mo shift tho
scene, and come down to the record of yesterday.
The American party, led by old Palo Alb), alias
Hir Zachary, for Sheriff —the man who, under the
administration of Gov. Cobb, safely kept tho con
victs in the Penitentiary without tho loss of a man—
A. W. Evans, Clerk Superior Court; W. D. Tucker,
Ordinary; Wn. Stnart. Tax Collector; Ed. Damo
ron, Receiver; James Dick, Coroner, and O. Lea
mans, Surveyor.
You, sir, know these men, and can feel as we felt
in the contest. On the banner of tho “Democratic
Anti-Know Nothing” party was Newton Anderson,
for Sheriff, an old Whig, and at one time a member of
the American party, but who, in the hour of peril, left
our camp for that of the enemy. Wm. Barry, for
Ordinary, (Whig); B. F. McCoy, for Clerk, (a blue
b—d Democrat); for Collector, Ephraim Thorne,
(Whig, and once a member of the American party);
Wade Riohardson, (Whig,) Receiver; Abram Maws,
(Whig,) Coroner, and James Geiger, (Whig,) Sur
veyor.
What sort of a fight do you think wc had ? You
ere they wore our old friends, not as Whigs, but as
party men in various ways. ’Tls truly said, family
feuds are always the most bitter. Well, sir, we had
warm work and rapid charging; we were oompelled,
on account of the damp day, to rely on the bayonet,
and carried the oamp by atorm. Being within the
walls, wo haro called the roll, and find none wound
ed or dead in our ranks, and our officers at their
post*. I forboar to speak of the enemy, particularly
tho would-lie officers, because they are among the
missing. *Tia said by some, that in the charge,
some of our men found time to gather up all the extra
cash of tho enemy, which, they say, is fair in war.
But about this I cannot speak truly, as within my
knowledge no cash could be found to sustain their
ninki:.g fortunes, though odds were offered to induce
them to produce it Wo have wiped out the stain;
and when we want new energy, wo will only hare
to remember the Ides of October, 1855.

TnE New Gla.no Island.—The New York Jour
nal of Commerce learns that the gentlemen inter
ested In the newly discovered Guano Island in the
Pacific, and who despatched the ship “Corea” there*
for last August, received advices by the last Pacific
mail, that their second expedition, under Command
of Capt. Edward W. Turner, sailed from San Francis
co on the 2d ultimo.
The bearer of despatches directing Commodore
Mervinc to order Me of the Pacific Squadron under
his command to the Island, to protect the interest
of the Company, had arrived at San Francisco ; that
the Commodore took a lively interest in the enter
prise, and was making arrangements to despatch a
vessel at the earliest moment.
Captain Tumor informed the Company that they
might expect him back to Ran Francisco by the last
of M.vrch, with news that they were ready to load
■hips at the Islands, and advised them to secure all
the tonnage bound to the Pacific which would be
discharged, and ready to sail from such ports, any
time after that date. The voyage from Ran Fran
cisco, Australia and other Pacific ports, to the United
Slates, is represented to bo more than a month short
er, via the new guano Island, than via Chinch a Is
lands.
The St. Augustine Ancient City, says : “No little
uneasiness has, for several days past prevailed in
onr community in regard to a rumor that has obtain
ed some currency here of the killing of the U. 8. Ex
press rider, between Headquarters at Tampa and
Fort Myers, by the Indians. The rumor has, taking
into view the recent firing on a detachment of troops
by those reckless people, something like probability
to support it, and the Tampa mail, which is now
some two trips due, will confirm or put it to rest. —
Wo await with anxiety its arrival, for many of our
citizens arc engaged in surveying and otherpursuits,
on the immediate Indian borders.”
The Kev. 11. B. Ferguson, of Nashville, Tenn.,
reports that he has a daughter of 14, a medium, who,
by stirring a spoon in an empty tea-cup, produced
medicines that cure a variety of obstinate diseases.
He names some dozen witnesses to the fact. The
medicines are supposed to be eliminated from the ele
ments of tho atmosphere, by an eminent deceased
chemist Rev. Mr. Ferguson evidently believes all
this, and even more, which he keeps back on ac
count of the amazing incrednlity of his fellow-men.
Massachusetts Militia. — There are six bri
gades of militia in Massachusetts, nniformed and
equipped in strict accordance with United States
regulations, and paid for their services when on dnty
at an annual expense of $78,000. We see in the
Post an account of the dedication of a new armory
in Boston, by a corps of light artillery belonging to
this volunteer In fitting up this building,
the city expended $3,500, and the company $1,500
—furnishing ample accommodations, including a

From Kbw Mexico.— A despatch from Indepen
dence to the St. Ivonis Republican gives the follow
ing summary of th© news brought by the Santa
Fe mail, which arrived at that plaoe on the 22d
ultimo:
The Santa Fe mail brings ns little news of inter- j
e*t, in consequence of rain and snow. The roads in j
the mornt&in regions ware very bad. The winter so
far, iD Xew Mexico, has exceeded in seventy any j
for a number of rears past. Mare snow has fallen ;
in the month November alone than daring the j
the whole of last winter.
Indian disturbances are les* frequent than hereto
fore, inconsequence of th© energetic movements of
Col. Fanrt!«rey last winter. The Utah* and Jiea
riliaa atervu-fectly quiet, and the Apaches more sub
missive than for years before.
Much now deper. is upon the civil agents and
magistrates in the land ro keep them under control.
The Navagoes show some symptoms of restlessness,
and have latterly stolen souie stock in the Bio Aba
jo. Lieut. Moor© recovered nearly all of them.
Capt. MeFerran has received the appointment of
Quart si-master, and is ordered to Fort L nion. Capt
Davidson and company have been ordered from
Stanton to F ■*rt Fillmore. The funeral and staff
have gone to E. Paso on mature f to their
station. Major Fry, paymaster, snd his wife, ar
rived at Fort Union on the Ist.
A revolving light for coast towers, has been on
exhibition at the Astor House for a few days back,
which promises to supersede the old lights. It is
supplied by gas instead of oil, revolves in such a
manner as to indicate, by Its flashes, the number of
the tower, and consequently its position : and its
shadow may be seen. It is said, to the distance of *2O
or more miles. If not too complicated for general
use, it must prove a valuable improvement, as well
r.s an ingenious invention in the matter of light
houses. _
Ship Wrick.—The Freehold Advocate. January

brought on ehore and were burned. One of them
a panssenger named Anthony Jervis, is *aid to have
a wife* in New York. The captain says they got ont
of fuel, and that all hands on board, except himself
and the mate, were frozen to death, when he run the
vessel ashore.”
From Hatti.—We have advices from Cape
Hay tien to the 3d mat. Business was verv dull , and
rather precarious, on account of the threatened' war
with the Dominicans, wldch had become inevitable.
Every mate inhabitant capable of bearing arms,

vere, without yielding or modifying their position ;
and to leave the responsibility of delay or disaster
from not cooperating, to rest on those who cause
lessly refuse to co-operate in bringing this oontest to
a satisfactory conclusion.
It gives us much satisfaction to nlace on record
this emphatic endorsement of the noble band of con
servatives who have steadily voted in the House of
j Representatives for Mr. Fuller. It is no more than
! what is due to them, for the gallant stand they have
1 maintained on truly nati ual ground, resisting
Black Republicanism on the one baud, and the
i Democratic agitators on the other. Thc*v have done
ail they could do to prevent the triumph of section

i cess. If Banks in the end shonld be elected, it will
i not be by any dereliction of duty on their part, for
| we feci assured that, in no event, will they swerve
from their position. No, if the Black Republican
j banner is to bo unfurled over the Capitol, it must be

The Western nod Atlantic Railroad.
The operations of this State institution, for two or
three weeks past, remind us, very forcibly, of the
“reign of terror,” a few years since, under Win. L.
Mitchell Esq. A short time since three locomo
tives were reported to be off the track between
this place and Chattanooga, all the same day. On
yesterday, in and near this city, three trains were
off; almost within sight of each other. The public,
however, must not expect us to report all the acci
dent* and failures that are occurring daily, even
within onr “baiiwick.” It is sufficient for us to say
that “runoffs” are more common, now, than regular
trains.
These continued accidents must inevitably involve
heavy losses to the State; notwithstanding, some of
the administration organ* represent that the real
injuries done, are but trifling. And this is only the
beginning of the chapter—the legitimate fruits of
the Governor's policy, of putting the earning of the
Road into the State* Treasury, before making the
neoossary repairs, to stand the severe winter freezes
and rains. It was for opposing this policy, in part,
that the Governor cursed us so bitterly in his
speech hero last fall. But the Governor's surplus,
which he husban led so carefully before the election
jis the only available capital on hand to procure a
passport to the Gubernatorial chair again, will all be
needed now to day the losses and damages arising from
the current accidents—much of widen might have
been avoided, by a timely application of this “sur
plus” to removing the decaying wood superstruct
ure, and relaying this end of the Road with heavy
iron and new timber;*. Had the policy indicated in
the Annu«#Report of George l’onge, been followed
out by Gov. Johnson and his Superintenpcnt, the
Western & Atlantic Rail Road would, now, have
been made one of the best and most profitable roads
in the South. But this did not suit the electioneer
ing notions of Governor Johnson, something must
be done 10 sustain the party; hence all the permanent
improvements on the roml were discontinued, and
the “patching-up” system substituted, by which the
few thousand dollars were reserved, to place in the
State Treasury, for the administration press to crow
over. Having received the Read, in tho best po«-
sible condition the material in uso would admit of,
the patchiug-up system answered pretty well tor
snmmer nse ; but it is now utterly incapable of doing
the winter busings,and never will be again, unlesß
five times the amonnt of the Governor’s “surplus”
is expended between Resacca and Chattanooga, in
laying a now track. A system of gross deception,
ha* been practieod upon the people in relation to the
condition of the affairs of this Road; but the “se-lcß’’
are beginnng to fall from the eyes of many in this
section of the State, who, now, for the first time,
demand the sale of the Road.
This would be a favorable time for the investiga
ting Committee to pans over the Road—would'nt
it? They would have so much time along the line
for investigation !—Dalton Timet.
War with Englund--Au Englishman’* Views.
At a public meeting of the Mardcn Mechanics’ In
stitution, at Manchester, England, on the 1 4th De

deprecating the war, said .-
“Many of yon have relatives or friend* in Ameri
ca. That young notion has a population about equal
to ours in these islands. It has a great internal and
external commerce. It has more tonnage in shipping
than we have. It has more railroads tnan we nave.
It has inoro nawspapom than we have. It has in
stitutions more free than wo have—that horrid
slavery at the South excepted—an Ifruit
of its institutions, but an unhappy legacy of the'past.
It has also a groat manufacturing interest in diffe

this country. I low do we stand or start in the race f
The United Slates Government, including all the
Governments of all tho sovereign States, raises in
taxes probably from £12,000,000 to £15,000,000
sterling in the year. England this year will raise in
taxes and loans, and will expend, nearly £100,000,-
000. This population must raise, ana will spend,
probably, £80,000,000 within the year, more than
that population will raise and spend, and in America
there is far less poverty and pauperism than in En
gland.
Can we run this race on these torms and against
these odds 7 Can we hope to be as well off as Amer
ica, if the products of our industry are thus swept
away by the tux gatherer, and in the vain scheme of
saving ’ Europe from imaginary dangers 7 Can
poverty bo lessened among us, can education spread,
can the brutality of so many of our population bo
uprooted—(‘an all or anything that good men look
for come to us—while the fruits of our industry, the.
foundation of all social and moral good, are squan
dered in this manner 7 Pursue the phantom of mili
tary glory for ten years, and expend in that time a
sum equal to all tho visible property of Lancashire
and Yorkshire, and then compare yourselves with
the United States of America, and where will you
be 7 Pauperism, crime, and political anarchy, are
the legacies we are pieparing for our children, and
there 13 no escape for us unless we change on: course
and resolve to disconnect ourselves from the policy
which tends incessantly to embroil us with tnc na
tions of the continent of Europe. ’
The Great Inner Sea of Africa, twice as large as the
Black Sea, including Azoff, the existanoe of which
Cooley, the African geographer, argued for long ago,
and the discovery of which has been previously
announced, has been further verified by explorations,
but the sea is not so remarkable as the people in its
neighborhood, who are said to read and write, have
no idols, are generly serious, solid, sensible people,
and profess to believe in God, and have no tincture
of Mahomedanism. From whom did they learn these
things, or is it a traveller’s story7
London is now the greatest city in the world, and
far surpasses all the great cities of antiquity. Ac
corning to Gibson,the population of ancient Rome
in the height of its magnificence, was 1,200,000;
Nineveh is estimated to have had 600,000; and Dr.
Medhnrst supposes that the population of Pekin is
about 2,000,000. The population of London ac
cording to recent statistics, amounts to 2,500,000 —
414.722 having been added to it during tho last ten
▼ears. The census shows that it contains 307,722

The Hartford Times says the thick coating of ice
upon the cherry, pear and peach trees has served to
protect them from the frost, and at the same time
has acted iu the capacity of a burning glass, by
•oneentrating and intensifying tho rays from the sun,
until the unseasonable warmth thus imparted has had
the effect of starling the flow of sap, aud developing
ho buds. It is feared tho damage is very serious.
Railroad Accident.—The Darlington Flag of
the 9th inst., says:
‘•We learn that on last Saturday a serious and
fatal casualty took place on the Cheraw and Dar

by tho freshet ofthe Pee l)ee. as is supnosed, from
the softening of the earth, the trestle work ge v*e way

The whole train was thrown into the water, with
more or less injury to every person on board, fortu

A negro bov. young and very valuable, the pro

Several cargos of Chinese slaves have recently

Extensive Robbery.—The Charleston Standard
gives a detailed account of an extensive robbery
perpetrated at the Mills House, in that city. Hon.
Francisco Uernanda, Minister Plenipotentiary from
the Republic of Venezuela, arrived at Charleston on
Sunday morning, and put up at the above named
hotel. While at breakfast, a gentlemanly looking
man opened his room door, by means of false keys,
broke open his trunks, took therefrom $3.1*00. and
made his escape. SI,OOO is offered for the recovery
of the money, or one-third for any portion that may
be regained.
Florida Indians.—We are gratified, says the
Savannah Republican, to hear from the Tampa Pe

four soldiers killed by the Indians are as follows ;
Horth, Foster. Curran and Murtangh. A large
number of balls had perforated their heads and
chests, they were scalped, and their bodies most
shockingly mutilated.

Tic; entire number of arrests made in the Fourt h
Ward, during the year 1855, was 5,695, being the
heaviest police business dono in any portion of the
city. Ol the persons arrested, 2,979 were Irish;
I,\m>2 white Americans; 191 Eng.lsh; 561 Germans;
31 French; 10 Scotch, and 658 colored persons. A
lane number of those arrested were miserable
vagrants from the region of Baker street.
A ease hus just transpired in this city which shows
low the innocent sometime** suffer, and strikingly
illustrates the uncertainty of law. Not many days
ago a man was apprehended on the charge of bur
glary and committed to the untried department of
the Moyamcnsing prison. This same man wns pre
viously convicted at Trenton of forgery, and after
lying m prison for about a year, Uio real forger turn
ed up and confessed the crime. The innocent sufferer
having been set at liberty, and failing to obtain wo; k
inTi iti i, cam© to this city. Here he spent several
days, searching in vain for employment, and sub
sisting upon the bread of charity. Ido then r< solved
togo back to Trenton, and, on a very cold night,
stalled to walk. On arriving near the residence of
Mr. llilles, in the Twenty-third Ward, he was almost
frozen, and seeing the little out-house, in his despe
ration, he endeavored to get into it for shelte r. In
this he was detected bv the police, and imprisoned
as bi fore stated. _On Saturday, through the agency
of a friend, he was liberated and furnished with a
full suit of winter clothing and a set of tools to com
mence the world again.

i s contents, at three o'clock yesterday morning.
This Is the third time within a few years past, Mr.
Stillwell hus been burnt ont. nis ioas is about $40,-
09C. Two frame houses, adjoining, oectipid by poor
families, were destroyed. Mr. Stillwell is insured
for but $15,000. Mr. lb-gran, President of the Fir©
Department, was i-o dreadfully injured by u brick
from one of the falling walls, that hia recovery is
doubtful.
On Saturday night last, three of the crew of the
schooner Hammond, of Boston, Copt. Payne, now
lying at the foot of Bridge street, Brooklyn, retired
to the cabin, built n coal fire and turned in for the
night. The only ventilation was through the stove
pipe. This got filled with snow, and the result was,
that one of the crew named Micbcal Atwood, was
suffocated by the gas from the ooaL Another, named
John Dowd, is not expected to recover, and the
third, named Me Loud, is suffering severely, but will
probably recover. When discovered yesterday
morning, they were all Insensible.
