No trains left then Syoth to-night- fCOM M VNIC ATED. | Mr. Editor: The quesib *t» of the day seems to • be whether we shall have a new railroad, and a full connection of railroads cast, wzsr, north anil south, 1 itnd whether the city shall pay half a million of dollars toward the project, for the benefit of Charleston and Savannah, or not; and, Mr. Editor, as the question is a very serious one, you must per mit me, as I am something interested in the matter, to have a hearing upon the subject. If those, who are favorable to the project, could be made to re spoil*!, should it turn out to be failure, 1 would be quite willing that they should reap all the benefits j w hich may result, should it be successful. Those who are advocating it most strongly, are doing it I not upon the ground that it will be of benefit to : the Oily (which is very problematical, very; but because the property in w hich they are interested will be advantaged by the move. None know bet- j ter than the great proprietors of the railroad in terests, that with them it is all a one sided game, j that there is no possibility of a loss with them. I This is a fixed fact, that a great gain to them fol- | lows its consummation. As a matter of course, I do not pretend to cast blatne upon them for en- : . deavoring to enhance the value of their stocks, by all byitimatr means, and certainly nothing can be : more legitimate than to legislate the dollar out of pocket into their purse—if 1 agreed to it—but if I object, what then? I assert, positively, that the ! railroads must receive benefit from the project it adopted, but that the city will receive benefit is ; doubtful, nay more than doubtful, and if so, those : who are as much interested in the city as others are in railroad stock, should at least, be beard in the matter, and since the fight is for the dollar, let the almighty dollar speak for its full value. It is but a few years since we were called upon to decide upon the question of a Canal, and all and sin gular the interests connected therewith, and really to bear gentlemen talk upon the subject, one was led to be’ieve that if he was but possessed of a lot, seven by nine, with a shanty on it, the Canal and the interests, which it would buildup, would change as if hv magic, this shanty to a palace! The cost too of such a work which was to do all the won ders of the Lamp of Aladin was such a trifle onlv about £76,006 or at the outside SBO,OOO, all of which and more would flow back into the treasury by the sale of water privileges, and the vast population which was to flow into the eitv. building up all th» vacant.lots between the thref levels, the banks of which were to be lined by mnnufacturi.es, rising above each other like the steps on Jacob’s Ladder! Where arc all the good things promised and bv whom possessed V Ido not pause for a reply, for we have heard it every year since in the voice of the Tax Collector, claiming fifty cents-on the hun dred dollars for (’anal Tax, and we see it annually in the Treasurers report of the amount of the Canal debt dne by the city, which, instead of k'o or ksO, has swollen up to 2or $306,000, and where all the ' promises of good to every section and benefit to every class : I ask where ? Well, sir, the same brilliant promises, the same gorgeous visions of future benefits, the same gen erous desire expressed, that we should not shut our eyes to the bright prospective, nor button up our pockets, so as to prevent the gold, already minted, from slipping in and tilling them whilst we are asleep. Tile same anxiety for the dear people's good is now spoken, ranted and argued, in the same manner and, by the same men which then I promised and prophesied, and were mistaken! The bonds of the city, issued by the proper au thority, becomes a mortgage upon every house and lot in it; and I think we have quite enough mort gages upon us already. The taxes, in consequence of the acts of irresponsible councils, have trebled, if not more than trebled, in the last ten or fifteen years ! Will you point out to me the improve ments which have grown tip, the evidences of ex penditures for the benefit of the public, generally, j the great works which have added value to proper ty to balance this increase of debt and of taxation? It is time the people should be awake to their in terests, and ask questions and have them answer ed, and let the answers be from those who have equal risk in the result, and not from those who, turn it as you will, must be benefitted, aiul cannot be injured. 1 ask but fair plav in this matter. Property is to be affected. Let property speak, and if the owners of property eati be persuaded or cajoled into such an act, be it so. But, sir, do not permit so great an injustice to be done, simply be cause vou can outnumber us in noses. This is one of the cases in which v otes should be weighed, not counted. lam a plain man. and am in the habit of calling tilings by their right nanies ; and I dare sav before I have don , may say some things which will not be very palatable. But, sir, I have quite as much interest in the prosperity of the city, quite as much property to be affected, as some" of the gentlemen who are. so very anxious in the matter, and own more railroad stock than I do; and I hope you will bear with me, if I ask the favor of vour columns to some remarks hereafter. I think I can show those who have a real interest in the question, that they could not do a more sillv thing than to permit this connection and subscrip tion, and I think, too, I can show them several other thin vs which many arc not aware of, or have for gotten.

Halifax, Feb. is. —The following is the contin uation of the dispatch s snt from here yesterday of tiie Canada’s news : ASIA. Kars was occupied by two Russian battalions, while a third occupied the camp formerly held by General MonrarviefFs army. The captured guns and munitions of war have been removed to Alex anderpol. Letters from Erzeroum predict a scar city of food there. Tskandar Pacha was seriously wounded on the 23d of December. ENGLAND. The Queen opened Parliament on the 31st. In the House of Lords, Earl Oosford moved the ad dress to the Queen. The Earl Abingdon seconded the motion. Lord Derby did not oppose, but said lie considered the speech bare, cold and meagre. He thought it ought to refer to the state of affairs with America, to India and to the Colonies, and to ihe full of Kars. He conceived lliat the Govern ment. in the enlistment scheme, had evaded the spirit of the municipal law of the United States, and he hoped the apology offered would be re ceived. He regretted, however, that there was not a con ciliatory paragraph introduced into she speech re ferring h> the subject. The wlioie speech, he said, was redolent with water gruel. The Karl of Clarendon replied. Referring to the present relations with the United States, he said: In mv opinion there can be no doubt as to Ihe common-sense view of the Clayton-Biilwer uvatv; and vet it is upon the interpretation of that t rc at’v thattlie difference of opinion has arisen. In such a case correspondence is useless, and 1 have lost no time in offering to refer the whole question to the arbitration of a third Power, both sides agreeing to the decision. That offer has not vet beeu accepted. It has been renewed; and I hone upon further consideration, the United States Go', eminent will acquiesce. In regard to the re cruiting difficulty, it would not aid a friendly so lution to allude to it from the throne, inasmuchas the correspondence on tlies object still continues. The most recent demands of the United .States ar rived only two days ago and are not in a state to be made public. The origin of the trouble was this ; At the beginning of the war numerous foreigners from the United ."iates applied to the British Gov ernment for permission to join the army of the east. In consequence, instructions were sent t(i the Gov ernment of Nova Scotia, to consider whether per sons from the United States could be received at Halifax. The instructions were notified to Mr. Cramp toil, who was at the same time notified that, anxious as England was for recruits, she was still more anxious that there should be no violation of the municipal laws of the States. An agency office was opened, and upon complaint being made, Mr. Uramptoij.desired that tt i..igl*t be made pub lic that the British government" did not recruit soldiers in tli" L nited State-*: and he made known l;is instructions to Mi'. Marev, who expressed his satisfaction. After further explanation he siatc-4 that corres- : nondence of a not very amicable nature had since taken place between the two governments. But the transactions to which it refers are by-gone trans action' ; and from the coinmenoenient the British government has disclaimed all iufringmeut of the hiW' of the United States. It ith the conduct of ■ M- ('ramptan, his government was perfectly satis fied bein«- convinced that he neither intentionally or a’ec'den tall v violated the municipal laws of the United States' Tim diflicnltv was susceptible of a peaceful solution -no slight was meant by not mentioning America in the Queen's speech . In the House of Commons, Admiral Napier, im mediately on taking ins seat, moved for the trans mission of tire papers relating to his Baltic ,e?pe- Mr Bailiie gave notice of a resolution to the ef fect that enlistments in foreign countries lowers the dignity of Croat Britain, and is calculated to endanger relations v :th other Mates. Fk Much satisfaction uas expressed that Jhuis had been selected for the meeting of tU l'oace Congress. Peace was considered certain to result from the deliberations. Political arrests had been made u* Bordeaux, and the M -sit- ‘tr publishes a decree fixing the ini p- rt. duty on cotton brought from entrepots by 1 French vessels at 25 francs per hundred kilo ■ grammes, being a reduction of o francs on the for mer ratea. At the festival of the Provincial Grand Lodge, at Glasgow, Sir A. Allison mentioned that dunua I the assault on the Redan, a small party of soldiers led up to one of the guns placed in a recess, were ; received by a body of Russians, aud ihe English ' | officer was about to be bayoneted, when, chancing to catch the hand of the Russian officer, he had the presence of mind to give him a masonic grip. | The Russian in a moment struck up the bayonet of his soldier, led his newly found brother to thereat-, and treated him with all the kindness Os a mason Mr. Roswell L. Colt, of Patterson, New Jersey, ■ says, in a letter to the Commissioner of Patents, j that he has ordered from Scotland the spawn of the trout, earji, and salmon, with tiie view of pro pagating them in the waters of New Jersey. He suggests that the Patent Office should import for i distribution the spawn of the red mullet of Europe, | as of the sardines, for breeding iu the Middle and Southern States. Slaves and Free Colored Persons.—A hill is before ihe Maryland Legislature to prevent slaves , and free colored persons from holding Bush Meet ings, for religious worship, and also to prevent ; free colored persons from allowing slaves to re : main about their premises after ten o’clock at , night, unless by written permission of their own ! ers, Ac. Food not Scarce in Europe. — A correspondent of the New York Post, writing from Italy, gives many facts going to show that the popular idea of the scarcity of food in Europe is unfounded, and |adds: “ Having traversed a considerable part of wes tern and southern Europe in the last four months, I have observed everywhere the abundance, varie ty and moderate prices of good food, and the gen eral uniformity of prices."” The Outrages at the Fesjeu Islands. —A cor- j respondent of the New York IE raid, writing from j the Fejee Islands, thus speaks of some of the out- ! rages for which the United States ship John I Adams recently destroyed several towns : News reached ns of the ship Oueo, of Nantucket, ! being wrecked at Turtle Island, and twenty-eight ! persons on board of her killed. The Charles Dog- j geti, trading in the group, .was boarded bv the nu- j fives, and nine killed. The captain and two hands of the ship Amiable Josephine, were murdered at one of the adjacent islands. The captain of a schooner from Tahiti and bis mate were killed. The brig Juno, arriving at these islands and the captain coining on shore in his boat, was secured with the boat’s crew, and in danger of being killed, when we called a meeting and ransomed him at a high rate; but unfortunately previous to our arri val at the spot nine were killed. The Blackbird was forcibly taken ami her crew thrown overboard and killed, struggling in the water. One of our boats, on a trading cruise to the other islands, had three of the hands killed, and the fourth taken on shore and put to a slow and cruel death. A trading vessel belonging to an American, j put into a harbor for water at one of the islands, \ and while there, was attacked, bis wife murdered, | and the brains of his infant child knocked out on a stone before his eyes, and he was only spared to ; repair their muskets, being a handy man in that wav. Another of our community was killed, and j the’ stumps of his arms and legs stuck iu the sand . and fired at. A boat containing four of our number anchored at one of the windward islands at dark, and was attacked by the natives. Three were killed, and the fourth shot in the leg and carried on the shore with his companions. The next day he was obliged to witness the horrible feast they were making up on the bodies of his comrades, and to listen to the praises bestowed on the flesh of his friends. The following day they cut off one of his legs, and compelled him to sit and sec it devoured, and on the third day they finished him. Senators Pope and Peeples. The statements of Messrs. I’ope and Peeples will he found in another column. Some remarks made by them a few days ago in the Senate on the pro- i position to repeal the law forbidding the bringing j of slaves into Georgia for sale, were so much gar- I bled, altered and misrepresented in some of the j Abolition papers at the North, as to convey the i impression that these two Georgia Senators hail 1 spoken against the institution of slavery. Where Messrs. Pope and Peeples are known, it is entirely unnecessary to contradict such an absurdity, but fearing ttie report might do harm elsewhere, they have thought it best to give the report a contra- j diction over their own signature. We hope thos j papers that have given a false report of Messrs. Pope and Peeples' sentiments will now make the correcti- *n. fed. Union. From the Federal Union. Senate Chamber, Feb. 12th, 1856. To the Kditore of the. Ft /.era: i nion : Gentlemen: I have read the article in the New j York Evening Poet of February 2d, to whirl* you were kind enough to call my attention : The language and argument imputed to me by the Post was either innocently misunderstood, or wilfully perverted. The question under discussion in the "Senate at the time referred to, was : police regulation, one over which the State had undoubt ed constitutional power. I opposed the repeal ot the laws referred to on the ground of economy . and expediency only. And my argument in brief’, was, that slave trading as a business, needed no encouragement— that quite enough to supply all i the wants of the State in that line could be clone, | with this police regulation still on the statute ! book. That the law bad been enacted, repealed, aud by the public voice, again re-enacted ; that there was now no call by the people for its re peal. And finally, that the business of slave trad ing as a distinct branch of traffic tended to two results: Ist. To unnecessarily encourage that natural ten dency of mankind to engage in speculation, con tract debts, and to increase in advance of the actual wants of our people, the number of negroes amongst us, am? 2ndly. To drain the products of our rich lauds for investments in negroes from Virginia and Maryland, and other border States. To those who know me, and in Georgia, no ex- i planatinn is necessary. Towards free-soilism, abo litionism or other fanaticism on the part of the Northern people towards the South, ! have no word of friendship to offer, or bonds of fraternity to keep. My State has taken her position on this question, and f shall calmly, determinedly, and I trust courageously, abide that position. Respectfully, your fellow citizen, U, Peeples. Mili.edoei ille, Feb. 14, lts.**3. Editors of the Federal Union: Gentlemen: I have just had my attention called to an editorial in the New York Evening P"d., the text of which is an extract from a report of what ; purports to be a speech made by me in the Senate of Georgia, on a bill to repeal the existing law, pro hibiting transportation of slaves into this State for the purpose of speculation. .So soon as the report referred to came under my observation, f immedi ately had it corrected iti several of the papers of this" State, and would notice it no farther, hut. for the fact that it has been copied into the Abolition press North, and is by them pointed to as an index to a change in public sentiment in this State, on the question of the traffic in slaves. The facts arc as follows : when the bill came up in its order before the Senate. I opposed it, briefly reviewing the legislation on the question in this State for the past thirty years ; remarking that the law had been repealed twice, and that public sen timent had demand its re-enactment, bv the suc ceeding Legislature in eaeli case. I vindicated the present law, as being eminently wise, just and pro motive of the best interests of our people. I did not oppose the traffic of slaves, as the Post has it, be cause 1 thought it revolting to humanity and op i posed to the spirit of Christian j tv, I utterred no such language. I entertain no such opinions. But I did and do now oppose the consequences result ing to us as a people trom the mg nut r in which tins traffic is often conducted by speculators. 1 am a slaveholder, have bought and sold slaves, aud believe that the institution is distinctly and fully sanctioned by teachings ot the Bible, By giving" this communication an insertion m : your paper, you will greatly oblige, Your ob’t. sery't., A, Porn, Jr. Romance and Realitt.—The Sandusky Register narrates the following affecting story ; ? In the Lunatic Asylum at Columbus, is a pair of insanelovers. Mental anxiety of a peculiar char acter is supposed to have deranged the intellect of the young man, who was sent to the Asylum some time ago, cured, it was hoped permanently, ami sent home. While at home he fell deeply m love with a young girl, who returned his devotion, and they became tenderly attached to each other. But, : unhappily, the malady returned upon the .young man ; he was separated from the object of his love, and sent back to the Asylum. Left to herself, to muse upon her bereavement, and the sad destiny i of her lover, the mind of the girl became also af fected, almost, ns it might seem, from sympathy — am! it was not long before she, t*>o, was immured wjtluu the walls which sheltered him. They are i both there now Occasionally they seem to have recovered their reason, auu a*c permitted to hold interviews with one another. In one of these, the - poor girl begged her lover to marry her, but he re. plied with a melancholy real enough to bring teat's from the listeners —“You know that we cannot he - married, Ellen : we are unfit for that happiness— poor, unfortunate creatures that we are!” We hare been struck with that passage of Lt | Maury's “Physical Geography of the Sea,” in which he computes the effect of a single inch of j rain falling ojmn the Atlantic Ocean. The Atlan i tie includes an area of 25 millions of square miles. | Suppose an inch of rain to fall upon only one-fifth ! of this vast expanse : | “It would weigh, says our author, ‘three hun dred and sixty thousand millions of tons ; and the j salt which, as water, it held in solution in the sea | and which, when the water was taken up as vapor! ; was left behind to disturb equilibrium, wei'-hed i sixteen millions more tons, or nearly twice as I much as all the ships in the world could carrv at a j cargo each. It might fail in a dav; but occupy what time it might in falling, this rain is calcula ted to exert so much force, which is inconceivably ; great, in disturbing the equilibrum of the ocean, i If ai! the waters discharged by the Mississippi j river during the year were taken up in one mighty ! measure, and cast into the ocean at one effort, it . would not make a greater disturbance in theequili ; brium of the sea than would the fall of rain sup- I posed. And vet so gentle are the operations of nature that movements so vast are unperceived.’ ” , I Gross Discourtesy.—Not to enumerate other acts, Mr. Speaker Bankscould not avoid showing his j hitter feelings in the most unpardonable manner, ' so far as the Hon. George S. Houston, of Alabama ■ ( and Hon. A. H. Stephens, of Georgia, are concern ed. The removal of Mr. Houston from the Com mittee of Ways and Means, after he had been its chairman for four years, and placing him fifth on ! the Territorial Committee, was an unpardonable breach of parliamentary courtesy, and it cannot j be justified by the desire to gratify a spirit of per- j i sonal spite, Mr. Stephens, of Georgia, is taken ! • j from the same committee and placed on the Elec i ttons. The peculiar importance of the action of ; that committee at this session alone can paliate j i this violation of established parliamentary courtc j sv. Mr. Banks begins boldly, if not fairly! II ashtm/lon Union s j Alas, Poor Yorjck’- -The city of Wheeling, i j once considered an impregnable stronghold of ! | Know Nothingism, has rendered an emphatic and | J unmistakable verdict against the principles of the i | “Secret Order.” At an election lately held in that j I city, A.

Last year, the Know Nothings elected their whole j i ticket. This gratifying result exhibits stronger I | than words can express the deep under current of ; j popular reaction and the slate of rapid dissolution j j into which “übiquitous Sam” is falling. During the alarm of lire last night, Mr. G. A. j McClesky, in crossing Day street, in front of the ■ Exchange, was knocked down and run over hv a ; frightened horse running away with a buggy con- j tabling two persons more spirited than the’horse. | Mr. MeC. we are happy to state, received no other j injury than a severe shock, which partially stunned : him, Tlui parties riding, were subsequently j thrown out and the buggy smashed. San. Hep., Feb. 20. J ’ Mrs. Sefauce, the sister of Richard Brinsley ! | Sheridan, at one time had a private theatre fitted j ; up at her house. On one occasion the lady her- j ! self, a remarkably fat woman, chose to enact the j ; part Lady Randolph, in the play of Douglas. An ! emateur begged the favor of the company of the! witty Curran at ihe performance, bidding him j j to guess what part the lady hadchoseu. ‘‘ What j : i part?” replied he, “one'of the Grampian hills j to be sure—T know of no other part that will suit j j her.” The Sequel to Baninm’ti .Autobiography, i Last year Mr. Barnum, the great showman, fur- 1 nished to his gulled countrymen, through the me dium of his published autobiography, his key to splendid worldly success, to-wit: Cool, persistent, unblushing, systematized deceit—not to use a more 1 harsh word. Many of our cotemporaries at the 1 time were of the opinion that the publication of i such a work was calculated to produce the most • injurious impressions upon the voting, the inexpe- ' rienced, and the unsettled in principle, by stimula ting their desires to obtain enormous wealth, not through the enterprising channels of trade and : • commerce, but by the exercise of those question- ! ‘ able talents which had made the name of Barnum ' known throughout the world as a showman and a J millionaire. From the revelations recently made m the New York and Connecticut papers, it would seem that there is a sequel to the autobiography which carries with it its own moral. The million- 1 aire showman, the envied owner of the princely oriental villa of Iranistan, has been forced by his creditors to make an assignment of his property, and there are many who do not hesitate to pro nounce his affairs in a bankrupt condition. It would seem from the following, which we copy from a New York paper, that Mr. Barnum’s wealth and resources have always been overstated : “Mr. Barnum retired from iranistan some time j ago, and took up his residence in the upper part of I this city. An impression has obtained in New j i York, as well as in other places, that he owned the j ' Museum building. Such is uot the fact. He pur chased the collection of curiosities, but leased the building of ihe heirs of Mr. Francis XV. Olmsted, for whom Mr. H. W. Sargent, of Fishkill Laud ing, New York, is the executor. “ The Museum is now, and lias been for some time past, in the possession of Messrs. Greenwood 1 and Butler. Notwithstanding this crushing weight 1 of bankruptcy, as it is called, Barnum seems to bear the burden with spirit. “ Iranistau is untenanted, all of the furniture having been removed to this city and sold. “The records in New York show that the mortgages and judgments against Mr. Barnum’s real estate amounted to $179,000, to which is add- j ed $90,000 for confidential debts, designated in the I list of preferred creditors named in his assign- ; ment. “Tom Thumb, the foundation of bis late for ! tune, is resting at Bridgeport, and in all probabili- I ' ty will come to the rescue of the showman.” Nnw York, February is,—Anxiety here contin- j nos to increase with reference to the missing steam- ! er Pacific, The agents, however, still express the I belief, confidently, that she has been disabled in i * her machinery, and put back They say that suf- j geient time has not elapsed, in ease of such un ae- | j indent, to ascertain definitely, or allow her being , heard from.
