~ United States Railroads.
The average cost of all the railroads
in the United States, to the country, in
bonds and stock, has been about $40,000
per mile, making the aggregate cost
amount to the enormous total of $1,040-
000,000. Os this cost about $500,000,000
if represented by subscribed stock, and
on this amount the whole profit or div
idend paid to the stockholders during
the past year has not exceeded,slo,ooo,-
000. or an average old per cent on the
amount of their investment. The Hart-
ford Times further says that the interest
on over $145,600,000 of railroad bonds
has also not been paid during the past
year, and on a considerable portion of
this amount no more interest ever will
be paid. This is the present position of
the railroad interest in this country, in
the aggregate, as a profit paying invest
ment to its stockholders.
Shooting School Teachers.
A number of instances of shooting
teachers by pupils have recently been
reported in various parts of the country.
A story is told of a teacher out in Arkan
sas who, on searching the desks of the
hoys in his school, found thirteen re
volvers, and a number of bowie knives,
dirks and slung-shots. This looks as
though the youngsters were better pre
pared for shooting with pistols than
with young ideas.

We have received a very beautiful

title, devoted to the Turf, Field Sports,
Literature and the Stage. It is fully
up to the “Spirit of the Times’’ in appear

a paper in Central America, which went
down with the misfortunes attendant
upon Col. Walker, and he has now suc

it out under very gratifying auspices in
Nashville. *

Passports to Men ol Color.
Senator Wilson recently applied at i
the State Department for a passport for ’
D. S. S. Rock, a colored citizen of Bos- i
ton, and received the following reply
from the Secretary:
DtrcBTMENTOF STATE, WASHINGTON, April 2. <
To the lion. Henry Wilson, Senate Chamber: <
Sir: I have had the honor to receive -
your note of yesterday, with its accom
paniments. ‘ ]
In reply, 1 have to inform you that ]
it is not the practice of the Department ]
to i-sue any other paper than passports ]
to persons going abroad from this coun- ,
try. A passport being a certificate of
citizenship, has never since the founda
tion of the government been granted to
persons of color. No change in this re- j
sped has taken place in consequence of
the decision of the Died Scott case. Re
turning the inclosure in your letter, I
have the honor to be, Sir, ]
Your obedient servant, Lewis Cass. i

A Romantic Story Spoiled.
Henry Ward Beecher publishes the
following letter in reference to the
young lady whose “sad history” has
been published in many journals: ’
Brooklyn, Friday, April 2. —ln the ;
sad account from the Milwaukie Daily i
Wisconsin of the degradation of a
young woman, it is said that she was
formerly a member of my family, and
an adopted daughter. Neither "state
ment is true. The young lady was a
member of my parish and received an
education under the direction of friends
in the church; hut she was never an
inmate of my family, nor an adopted
child.
I have reasons to think that from her
first coming to this country from Ire
land, she was profoundly deceitful. 1
have never known a case of such emi
nent natural abilities put to so bad a
use. By various false pretences, and by
great address and plausibility, she raised
several thousand dollars in Brooklyn,
which were wasted as recklessly as they
wtre immorally obtained.
Her downfall did not begin with an
unrequited romantic attachment.—
That was but one of hundreds of tales
which, at various times, 6lie employed
with singular power to excite the com
passion and secure the contributions of
the benevolent.

Imposition.
Credulity has ever been one of the be
setting sins of the human family; nud
in no age of the world more so than
this. This is strikingly exemplified in
the avidity with which medical advei
tisements are read and the remedial
means pointed out, seized upon by the
1 invalid, or the occasionally indisposed,
and in a majority of cases, to the injury
1 of the valetudinarian, and pecuniary
• gain of the nostrum vender. It is truly
1 ridiculous to read many of the medical
advertisements with which our hebdom
adal literature teems, to see the incon
sistency they contain. For instance—
“A retired Physician, 75 years of age,
whose sands of life have nearly (?) run
out, discovered while living in the East
Judies, a certain cure for consumption,”
&c.
The above may he found in almost
(save the Dispatch) every paper from
Maine to Texas. Now, it is known to
every intelligent person, or one at all ac
quainted with the pathology of this dis
ease, that Indian hemp—his great rem
edy—could have no curative influence
upon this disease of impaired nutrition.
This “retired Physician,” as I have it
from good authority, is a youny man, a
clerk in a wholesale house in New York.
There is no doubt, however, that his
sands will continue to “run out” as long
as dimes run into his pocket. Here is an
other—
“ Dyspepsia and Fits. —Dr. Tracey De
lorme, the great curer of Consumption,
was for several years so badly afflicted
with dyspepsia that he was for the
greater part of his time confined to his
bed. He was eventually cured by a
prescription furnished him by a young
clnirvoyant girl. This prescription,
given bv a mere child, in a state of
trance, has cured everybody who has
tried it,” &c.
By sending a three cent stamp, dear 1
reader, you can have this invaluable
receipt by return mail. You must be
sure, however, to address him as “the
great curer of consumption.” This, of
itself, is one way of advertising. The
ingredients of this imposter's compound
(I speak from the caid) is Boncset,
Camomile flowers, Vervain and best Irish 1
Whiskey. These possess the talismanic
or magic influence; whether derived
from the medium through which they
passed, and transmitted to an indefi
nite period by the little child, I am not
prepared to say ; hut these cure Con
sumption and Dyspepsia as truly and '
as effectually as Mahomet’s trip to heav
en, in the twinkling of an eye. There
is one thing certain, if such a prescrip
tion was taken in repeated doses for any
considerable length of time, it would
throw the patient into fits, or I am no
judge of Irish Whiskey. T. M. L.

Among the petitions presented was
one by Mr. Fessenden, asking for an al
teration of the Pension laws, so that
, provisions may be made for the soldiers
and officers of the war of 1812.
On motion of Mr. Hale, a resolution,
providing for a survey of the coal and
iron region of North Carolina, was
! adopted.
Mr. Brown presented a memorial from
the municipal authorities and citizens
of Washington, asking that Pennsylva
nia avenue shall he repaved with a new .
patent pavement.
Mr. Hamlin reported a hill regulating
the registry of coasting vessels. 1
The Pacific Railroad Bill was taken .
up.
Mr. Green moved that, as the House
had disagreed, the Senate would iusist j 1
on a Committee of Conference in lieu of I
resolving to adheie, and he called the ,
yeas and nays on his motion.
Mr. Pugh said how could the Senate 1
insist on a conference after the House ,
has resolved to adhere to their amend
ment.
Mr. Green replied that even after the <
action of the House it was competent ,
to confer. It is the practice here as j
well as in the Parliament of England
to insist on a conference.
Mr. Pugh said it was in order to ask
a conference, but not to insist.
Mr. Hunter said the course in the 1
Senate was to insist. The House if it U
chooses can recede from its amendment j
and then the original hill would pass, j'
Mr. Green read an instance from Par- 1 s
liamentary practice, showing that it was 1
legitimate to insist. To meet the case, 1
however, lie would make two motions. \
First, to insist, and second, to ask a |
conference. j *
The bill for the establishment of a
telegraph line to communicate with the c
Utah expedition was discussed and then *
postponed till next session.

Mr. Caruthers who has been sick, ap- 1
peared in his seat to-day for the first ,

The House went into Committee on
the Senate bill to establish a guard for
the protection of life and property in
Washington. £
Mr. Goode offered a substitute propos
ing that the chief shall receive a salary
of $2,500: the Captain, $1,400; the '
four Lieutenants, SI,OOO each. Thej s
Captain and Lieutenants to be appoint
ed by the Secretary of the interior, in-j
stead of by the chief. A further pro-;
vision is, that the chief shall be in- i j
vested with the powers of a justice of j.
the peace, who shall hold daily courts I
for the trial of misdemeanors, but in 1
no case to inflict punishment exceeding 1 :
S2O, or imprisonment in tiie jail or .
workhouse fora longer term than twen- j
ty days.
Mr. Comins opposed the hill, saying J
lie would not give additional power to ,
a corrupt administration.
Mr. Clemens reminded him that his 1
; (the gentleman’s) party, the Republi- ji
cans, had taken away the municipal!;
1 powers from the City of New York, and 1

Tile Position of the President,
There is some misapprehension as to!
the supposed position of the President,
in regard to the Crittenden amendment,
whichjdeserves to be corrected. My in
formation is that he has never gone far
ther than to assert it was clearly within
| the province of Congress to authorize
I the submission of the Lecompton con
j stitution to the people, if they saw fit,
I but in regard to the latter clause of the
| amendment, which provides, in the
I event of its rejection, that a new con
j stitution may be framed, and Kansas be
! admitted by proclamation of the Presi
! dent, he considers it unconstitutional,
and would not sign the bill, if passed in the
present from. More than this, it is well;
understood that the President was con
sulted before the recent speeches of Mr.
| Bigler and Mr. Pugh against the amend
dment, so that their declarations may
be regarded as quasi reflections of the
views entertained at the White House. —,
A Philadelphia Enquirer.
Two Irishmen, on landing in this
! country, and sitting down to their first
dinner on shore found on the table a
dish of prepared mustard, which neith
, er of them had ever happened to meet
j before. One of them took a spoonful
at a venture, which quickly brought a
deluge of tears to his eyes.
“ What are you crying about?” asked
his companion.
“I was crying at the recollection of
j my poor father, who was hung about |
twenty years ago.”
The dinner proceeded, and soon the
j other made a dip into the mustard, with
I a similar result.
“What are you crying about ?” was
I the grave inquiry of his comrade.
“I am crying because you were not
hung when your father was.”
Awful Oaths.
It appears that on the arrival of the j
j 18th Highlanders at that “place of
skulls,” Cawnpore, after the massacre
of our countrymen, women and chil
dren, they by some means or other
found the remains of one of General j
Wheeler’s daughters. The sight was
horrible, and aroused them to that;
pitch, that gathering around they took
the hair from off the poor girl’s head, a ■
portion of which was carefully selected
and sent home to her surviving friends. |
The remainder they equally divided
amongst themselves, and on each man
receiving his carefully served out por- !
tion, they all quietly and very patiently
applied themselves to the tedious task
of counting out the number of hairs [
contained in each individual’s lot, and
when this task was accomplished they.
one and all swore most solemnly that
far as many hairs as they held in their j
fingers so many of the cruel and treach- i
erous mutineers should die by their j
hands!—an oath that they will, no
doubt, most religiously keep. — llong.

S genated Bitters being known to me, I express
! the following in form :
j The composition of these Bitters includes those
j medicinal substances which experienced physi
! ciau.s have long resorted to for special action on j
the system, when deranged by Fevers, Dye-1
: pepsia, Agues and General Debility, resulting '
from exposure or climate influence.
These are rendered permanent, and remain i
j active in this preparation, as a consequence of
j the scientific manner in which they art combined.
! It was a well founded inference that the pre
; paration used in smaller or larger doses, would
; prove a valuable General Medicine, which ex-
I periencc has demonstrated.
' In this medicine no metallic salts can bo found
j by the most delicate chemical trials.
