(Betting pisjiatci GA: Friday Evening, April 10, IS3S. ~ 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. Voting's Spirit ol the South and Ceu tral American. We have received a very beautiful and “spirited" paper, hearing the above title, devoted to the Turf, Field Sports, Literature and the Stage. It is fully up to the “Spirit of the Times’’ in appear ance. W. H. Young is the proprietor, and Madame F. Ltwellen Young, edi tress. Col. Young was the proprietor of a paper in Central America, which went down with the misfortunes attendant upon Col. Walker, and he has now suc ceeded in transplanting it, and bringing it out under very gratifying auspices in Nashville. * |g” Dr. Thomas Peach, aged 80 years, left Boscawen, N. H.. two or three weeks ago, with his family, to settle in Indiana. P.ather a late period for transplanting Peaches, we should say.

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. re [communicated.] 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. THIRTY,FIFTH CONGRESS. Washington, April 13, 1858. senate. 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. The Senate adjourned. 1 HOUSE. 1 Mr. Caruthers who has been sick, ap- 1 peared in his seat to-day for the first , time this session. 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 ' invested them in the State authorities. ! Mr. Comins said he doubted, and was i not yet convinced of the propriety of , i that measure. s bin r ' ClemeDS ar S ued >n favor of the 1 3 »nH th -t r i g< T t,emen engaged in debate ; f > t0 * a conclusion on ' ZSSi&s**" - -• THE LATEST NEWS.

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.
