B(: iilkoaus in Tilk (Jmikii Statk*.— A writer in the Sa vlmdi Republican furnishes the following interesting suin nj i v in regard to Railroads in the U. S., from an article which , raiently appeared ill the Ji lilroad Journal: H, -..jpears that there arc I 47 Railroads in the United Stales, i m < c now hems < onstructcd, incusuriug 2,857 miles, and 12 me e measuring 715, which have been commenced and abnu- Aiming tliese lasi iliere arc miles in Alabama and the lliwnssee Railroad is also included here, though as rong movement is now being in ide to conijilete it. Os the un, rushed Roads, 1,4;4 miles are in Illinois, mostly Slat.*’ To the iinfiiii'licd Roads should also be add and the £r and llarlaein, which are only pul down as finished, 5-5 aj 27 miles respectively, though hold have been graded much fißher. longest Road in the United Slates owned by one single eoi panv, is dint from Savannah to Macon, 190| miles; the lies [is the Baltimore and thin Railroad, mid the third on the list is tlm Georgia Rotul limn Augusta lo Atlanta, 171 miles I The shortest one of all, is a little work in W'orcestcr, (Bliss.) only a hail* mile long. The first Railroad ever Imilt in the Stales, was the Quincy, 1 4 m b s Imig finished in 1827 ; the second was the Mauli Chunk Road ill Pennsylvania, 9 miles long, having ;i track but 8 feet 6 todies wide. The gauge of tlin Eric Road is (j fed; of l li* Ctool’ stun and Hamburg, and the Atlantic and St. Lawrence isc< the Springfield ami Albany, where it crosses thv Green Mtountnin chain. J’liat from Cleveland, Ohio, to the quarries, has a grade of 264 feet to the. mile. Ji^her** are 19 Roads with inclin and planes, requiring stalionn rf Engines, and on the Portage Rond, over the Alleghany M© p lains in Pennsylvania, there are ten inclined planes in a ■dm nice of 36 miles. ■her, are 15 tunnels on 12 different Roads, the !ongesfteiiig oßhe Long Gland Road under Atlantic street in Brooklyn. his more than half n mile in length ‘I liere is a tunnel 600 feet long throneli solid rock on the llarlaein Road, near Ne ’ York. On the Reading Road there are three tunnels, 000 I,6oo,*and 1 .983 feet long. This Road, though only 93 j mi is long, cost $10,338,530. cos it of the disastrous retreat of Santa Anna towards San Lu i Potosi, and very coolly remarks: VShould this be the cose, then we may speculate on pence, •ft! the fact ol Santa Anna being permitted to slip into Mexi- not prove the great blunder in diplomacy , which the Ft’ eral partv has been so clamorous in charging upon the Ad mi istration.” !*o!k allows Santa Anna and thirty odd Mexican and Sr nish officeis to pass the blbckade at Vera Cruz and enter Ajk iieo. They organize the Army and make a descent upon t A American lines. They interrupt our communications, seize ufei n our supplies, murder hundreds of our people, and finally, ill! pitched battle, are defeated, routed and driven back in con fer on and dismay, with a loss of some 5,600 men. and then we tie gravely told that it was no great blunder in diplomacy aft. rail! It was no great blunder to furnish the enemy with at ible Secretary of War, Almonte. Ir was no great blunder to f irnishthe enemy a General who could alone unite the dis tra< ted and warring factions. It was no irreat blunder to fur ’nisli them a skilful Cavalry tactician in the person of Minon. It was no great blunder to ask Congre'S to appropriate Three Millions of Dollars to pay the expenses of the army raised by the*’ very men. It was no great I.binder to adopt a policy to- ; wards Santa Anna, which has already cost the nation some j Fortv Millions oi Dollars, and many of the most valuable lives in th 1 * land. All this was a mere matter of dip'omney —a Dem ocrine ruse conceived in the fertile brain of Mr. Polk, for the •ici se of -eenring a pence, and proving himself lo be as great sMtatespinn as Benton is a hero.

Picayune, thit several ol ilie Mexican Staten hove denounce I the war mid declared in favor of peace. Zocnte can was reported to ha ve declared itself imlepemlenl.aiul the Legislature of Vera Cruz, i:: session at Jaldpa, contemplat’ and a similar movement. Intelligent Mexicans predicted a peuce wiihiu sixty da} s. From California. — The intelligence from the North West ern Divi-ion of the Army, has in it much cl interest, itappears that Gen Keurnev having captured the Mexican mail on Nov. 25th at the Gila River, learned the particulars of the massacre at Angelos, ol ilie defeat of Cupt* Mervin and Col. Fremont.— On the sth Deceiiiher, he met Capt. Gillespie, who confirmed the news, mid though his force, only 100 strung, was greatly emaciated In tlin march, he resolved to fight his way into San Diego. With 70 ol his men he accordingly charged the Mexi cans at dm village of San Punchal on the 6th. and after o loss of 35 killed nod wounded, routed the enemy and took the place. Gen. K. was severely wounded and every officer in the charge was either killed or wounded. ’J*lie force entered Sail Diego, and finding there Coin. Stockton, nn expedition was immedi ately organized againt Angelos, consisting of 400 seamen, 60 dismounted dragoons, mid 60 riflemen. They were met by ihe M exit nn artillery and dragoons 700 strong at the river San Ga briel. The Commodore pushed his force forward,and crossed the river in the face of a plunging fire from the Mexican batte ry Tiie seamen dragging six pieces of artillery through the water, (these pieces having been transported by the seamen 1 10 Hiilos from the ships,) under Lieut. Tilglnnnn, of Baltimore charged th ? heights, dislodging and taking the Mexican battaiy. ‘ n the 9th Gen. Flores again made a stand on the plains f “ Mesa,” and another severe action took place. TheAmeri can arms were again triumphant. The Mexican cavulry charg ed repeatedly on the seamen, who met them in squads, armed with ship’s “hoarding pikes’*—the dismounted riflemen in the centre—dealing out destruction with their unerring weapons. The American loss was 16 killed and wounded. * Lieut. S. C. Rowan wh th” only officer wounded—and that slightly. None killed. The .M xienn loss i- about 90 killed. It is believed that ifCol. Fremont had been able to have join ed Com. S. in season, with his mounted rifllemen, Flores, wiih his whole force, would have been captured. Con S. refused to negotiate with Flores, but sent him word that if he was taken lie would be shot as i rebel. Flores soon after surrendered to Col. Fremont, who was not aware of Coin S. having declined to negotiate with him- Flores lias promised lo become n lawful subject of the Uuied States, and o assist in quelling the rebellion, t-- - - S U M M ARY. Cott on i.v British India.— At the Manchester Chamber of Commerce, at its recent annual meeting, the President of tlie Chamber stated that in 1836 there were 219,000 bags ship ped from India to England; and that in the same year the United States supplied 764,707 bags; in 1845 England derived from India only 155,000 hags, showing a diminution of produc tion, whilst the United Stales, in that yeur, shipped to Eng land 1,555,000 bugs. Me attributed the failure in India to the abuse of patronage in thut quarter, and the increuse iu the U. States to the sell-reliance of our planters. The Pig Trade. —The last report from the Patent Offit e gives us the value of the Cotton crop, siv 2,400,000 bales, at S2B per bale, $57,200,000. The pork crop iu 1839 was upwards of 26,000,000. Now it is estimated this weighed ou the aver age 180 lbs each, anil that pork was worth $3,50 per cwt. or $160,003,000, and as but few hogs are kept twelve months, we iiiuv safely calculate the pork crop as worth three times the cotton crop. Gkn. Taylor’s Nomination.—T he Baltimore Sun sayp* the other day, at a hotel, a gentleman was rending from a newspaper the nomination of Gen. Taylor for the Presidency, subject to the decision of a National Convention. “A Nation al Convention!” exclaimed a six foot Kentuckian, “why,sir, I tell ye, Gineral Taylor will he nominated and elected, too, throughout the whole of these United States, by spontaneous combustion /” A Word.—Say not a woid you had better lenve unsaid. A word is a little thing, we know, but it has stirred up a world of slide. Suppressing a word has saved many a character— many a life. A word uuulfeied, and Hamilton would long have lived, the pride of his country. Who can tell the good r bad effects of u single word ? Be careful what you say. Think before you speak, and you will never be mortified wiih your self, or cause u thrill of pain to flash through the heart of a friend. The Better Way. —The sons of the poor die rich—while the sous ol the rich die poor. What encouragement to toil through life i.i acquiring wealth to ruin our children! Better to do good with our money is we go along—educate our sons —ensure their virtues by habits of industry and study, and let them take care of themselves. Mr. (’lay in Europe. —.Mr. Ci ay’s speech, delivered at New Orleans in behnll of Ireland some tune ago, is going the round* ol the English and Irish papers, and the editor* thereof are applauding it iu the warmest manner. (fj* Col. CLAY has left three motherless and fatherless chil dren, who were given in charge of their grand-parents by the unfortunate father, on leaving for the seat of war. Gov, Dodge,of NN iscoosm, has called another session of the Legislature, that nnthorilv may be immediately given for Hie organization ol a s co <d2>lal* Convention to remodel Hu* Constitution. 1 1 it adopted by the previous Convention huving been rejected by the people. Pitt and Taylor. —The younger Pitt, when Prime Minis ter of England,Maid of the Duke of Wellington, when lie first distinguished himself as a soldier: “ lie has given nie details wonderfully clear upon affairs in India; and lie talked of them, too, ns if lie had been a surgeon in n regiment,and had nothing to do with them; so I know not which most to admire, his modesty or hi* talents; und yet the fate of ull India depended upon them.” Substitute Mexico lor India, and how well does the eulogy apply to Gen. Taylor. WouD could not \vi Übe pul together to express in more fitting and comprehensive term* his great merits and services. An ExvMrt.i. Worth Noticing. —After his successful cam paign in Italy, in the year 1796, Napoleon offered to inciea-r tlio territory of the litito republic of Sto Marino. The offer was declined. We have territory enough for our own use,said the sturdy mountaineers, wisely. More ihuu that, they might have addd, for doubtless they thought so, will hut endanger our liberties. Republics of much greater pretensions tha 1 SSan Marino may profit by her example. A large numb r ol the friend* of Gen.

OPINION’S OF DANIEL WEBSTER AN’D CHAS. M. KELLER. Dr. W. T. G. Morton, Boston, Vlas*. Dear Sir—Yours of the 26th ult. was received in due course of mail, and in answer I have to say, that at the time vour ap plication for preventing pain in Surgical Operations was under consideration in the Patent Office, Mr. Eddy consulted me on the novelty and patentability of your discovery. I then exani ireil the subject carefully, and guva it as my decided and can did opinion that it was novel, und the legitimate subject of a Patent; und this opinion bn* only been strengthened bv farther reflection. Under the law any new and useful art is made the subject of a Patent. It is anew mode of procedure, definite in its character, and which may fie taught to others, und which therefore comes under the denomination of an art, as defined by the. ablest Judges in Europe and in this count! v. Before your discovery many attempts had been made to render persons in sensible to pain, preparatory lo surgical operations, by intro ducing in the stomach intoxicating substances; but this mode of procedure was unsuccessful. You then discovered thut by introducing into the lungs the vapor of certain substances, n different effect was produced from that of intoxication produced by the introduction of substances in the stomach, and that this effect was such as to render the patient insensible to pain, lienee the use of this discovery, in connection w ith suigical op erations is an improvement in the art of surgery. In a legal point of view, your invention hns been admitted to be patentable by all the legal knowledge of the world, und the universal consent of civilized man. I am, sir,yours, very respectfully, CHAS, M. KELLER,for KELLER & GREENOI GH. I concur ir: the foregoing opinion entirely: entertaining no doubt that Dr. Morton’s discovery is anew und useful art, und as such the proper subject of u patent. Feb 19, 1847. DANIEL WEBSTER.

WISTAR’9 BALSAM OF WILD CHERRY, with great benefit to mvself, I cheerfully comply with vour request to give my testimony in favor of it. Sometime since I took cold, and it settled on my lungs; I was troubled for several weeks with a very bad cough, raised blood several times, und bad ull the alarming symptoms attending confirmed Consumption. I despaired of recovery. After Irv ing various remedies in vain, I obtained a bottle of your Bal sam; I took three bottles, and to my astonishment was entire, ly cured. I attribute my restotation to health, to that inedi. cine alone. All who are sick or afflicted with Pulmonary af. fcctiona, I would recommend them to try Dr. Wistnr’s Bu!sa n , immediately.
