Hon. T. Butler King, chairman of the commit

setting forth the advantages tlmt will result from
the cnustrfirtiou of n Railroad across the Isthmus,
a* proposes] bv Messrs. Aspinwnll. Stephens aud
Chnitncey. From ibis report, which is of Mo
great a length for nur columns, we abridge the fol
lowing statements:
Great Britiau is principally indebted to her skill
ill commerce ami manufactures for iu-r coimrter-
cial ascendency, lint she ii also indebted iu no
small degree to iierpost'inn: She tint only in.s the
porta of the continent of Bnmpe as hep neighbors,
hnt sin- is fifteen hundred ttnh s. nr two weeks Hour
er than we are, to all the other pnr.’s of the tcorld,
except the Atlantic forte of the A mrrirnn continent
north of the eqn-tor and l .i fYeti Indies The
cause <>f this is, that all vessel* bound from our
porta to place* soqth of tho iiue.or beyond either
of the capes.cross tlie Atlantic’ tn the Azores or
Western Islands, forthe purpose of finding favor-
nl|le winds, while vessels from British ports run
down tn the ainelatitude n.ul longitude wilhnqt
tho necessity of crossing tlie ocean, to avail them-
elves of the same ndvmnh.gej This diflVieuce
in favorof British c.iraniiufciVrni.niug through •> .r
entire existence as a imtinit, has been a most seri
ous obstacle fornurmerriiuiits mid pavigators tp
contend with, and has of itself been .a vast |tein
in favor of the profits on British cnpiinl.
Theconstrnctionorthe proposed Railroad arms*
the Isthmus will not only don way this advantage
over us, now possessed hy EnroppHii commerce
and navigation, hut will turn the tide iiinur favor.
Tlie average distance from Liverpool - , Lnudou
and Havre, t-> Pnimmn, is funr thoiisnud seven hun
dreil niiles, from New York tlie distance is two
thousand miles; from Charleston one t|p»i*aiid
four huudreil; from Savnuuah one Ih'uiqiiud three

sake of argument, that Euro|ie«u commerce with
Hie Pacific ocean, tlie Enst India nnd Chinn sens,
will lake the new route across t|ie.I->thiiin*. there

Desperate Attempt at Revenge.—The ani
mosity arising from uu old quarrel between two
brother*, named Parker, continuing to influence the
mind of one. suggested several attempts ut re
venge npon the offending brother, who contrived
to evade their perpetration. Ou Thursday evp-
niug tbo aggressive brother, finding tbe retreat of
the other, went to the bouse ofu lady iu which Ije
bad been staying, uud being Refused admission,
burst the clour open, when a desperate conflict
took place between the two young men, who grap
pled fiercely with one audlher—he who had plot
ted the attack being armed with a small pistol,
loaded;—.util which, being unable to u«e in any oth
er way, he broke over the head of tho other. Tlie

The friend I'm- whom the endorsement bad beeu

with the h wexpeuses, and olfieremhtirrassmeiils,
swallowed up the remuiuder of Mr. Walsh's prop

died, a broken-hearted man. The children, con

Gold Rcmors Contradicted.—The following
note from :he Secretary at War, is sufficient to set
at rest the idle and impossible stories of enormous
quantities uf gold haring h- c;l collected by his
am:
WASHiNqTox. Jan. 25. 1848.
Sir—Iq reply to your letter ol the 18th iust., X
have to inform you that the Government have nci
information whatever in 'relation to the gold in
California which has nut been given to the. pub
lic. I farther state, lhat 1 have no information
from my sou on the suhjept, except that the gold
uinum prevailed at Monterey, where he is sta
tioned, uud to which he 14 confined by his press
ing public duties, lie Jias not iuliinnted to ate
that he has any of the gold collected there, or that
be bad takeu, or intended to take auy steps to get
it. Yours truly.

Daughters.—When a young woman behaves o
her parents tt: a inimuer particularly tender uud
respectful, I mean from principle ns well ns na
ture, there is nothing good atiii gentle that may not
he expected from nor, in whatever condition riio
is placatl. Of this I am so thoroughly persuaded,
that were I to advise nuy friend of mine as'tu his
choice of a wife. I know pot whe'.het my first
counsel wotijd pot he, “Look qut lor one distin
guished by her attention aud sweetness to lief
parents.” The funil of worth and affectum indica
ted by suefi behaviqr, joined to the habits of duty
and consideration therecy contracted, being
transferred to the married state, will not fail to
render ber u mild uud obliging companion—For-

The True Life.—The mere lapse pf years is
nut life. To eat, etui drink mid sleep ; to be ex-
posed to darkness and to light; to pace anmud the
mill of habit, and turn the wheel of vveultb; to
make reason our book-keeper, mid turn thought
into iinpieuiunts of trade—this is not life, in all
this, but a poor fraction of the consciousness uf hu
manity is awakened uud the sanctities still slum
ber whic)i make it most wofth while to he.—
Knowledge, truth, love, beauty, goodness, foith,
iiloiteca|i give vitality the uv cjimnsm iff ox stei.ee.
The laugh of mirth, which vibrates thro’ the heart;
tlie tears which frerbett the dry wastes whilUm -.
the music tout briugs childhood hack : tbe prayer
lhat calls ns uear; the diubt, which makes a*
meditate; the death which st-rtfos r.» witti mys

the anxiety, that ends in trust—these are the true
nourishments of our uaturul being. ,‘Q
Uncomfortable.—Gen. Taylor shonld come out
plaiuly aud tell his supporters what bo intends to
do. It’s cruel iu hiui to keep them in such an
awkward sttspeuse. If he is goiug for the annex
ation of Cuba he ought to ssy so, and give his no-
tnnre-territiuy friends a chance to turn their sum-
ersets gracefully before the 4lb of March arrives.
Since of them have turned half over already, apd
don’t know whether to finish thp tumble or to
turnback. They are as badly puz^jed os was I ho
bothered _ engineer on one ol onr railroads who
was officially directed to keep his engine always
reversed, sn as to run in either dirpction at a mo
ment’s warning. It's uncomfortable—perplexing.
