Hid. DISTRICT DAVID J. BAILEY. IVth. DISTRICT W. ft. W. DENT. Vth. DISTRICT E. W. CHASTAIN. The Pacific Railroad. The immense importance of this groat work to the commerce of the count ry, to the Union of the Atlantic States with those which lie west of the Rocky Moun tains, and to the protection of the Pacific coast in time of war, is calculated to blind the eyes of politicians, and efface from their minds all recollection of State Rights. We take it for granted that the Road will be built; the interests involved are too large to leave any doubt upon this point. But how Khali it be built? That is the only question which interests politicians. Shall it be built by the Federal Government ? or by a company incor porated by the Federal Government ? or by corpora te ns chartered by the Suites and Territories through which it passes, with aid in land from the Federal Government as a land owner and not as a Government ? These are tbe issues, as no politician or party is silly enough to commit itself or himself against so great and useful and popular an enterprise. We have no hesitation in opposing the first proposi tion. The Federal Government is the most extrava gant contractor in America; it never can get any work done under terblo its value: and it is very generally conceded every where and by every body that Uncle Sam pays more and gets less in return than any other capitalist in the new world. Furthermore, if the Gov ernment once sets to work to build so great a Road, the power and patronage of the President will be inde finitely increased ; the game of folities will consequent ly become still more desperate and corrupting, princi ples will he lost sight of, the lights of the States neg lected and forgotten, and the demoralization of the peo plo and centralization of the Government will be comple ted before the work is finished. No sacrifice of pr'nciple is even now considered too great by many politicians to gain the disposition of the present revenue of the Government; what will not men do when this revenue will be doubled to meet the exigencies of this stupendous undertaking? And again, if the Federal Government once enters upon the work of Internal Improvements, where will it stop ? Other stupendous enterprises will spring up, too great apparently for private enterprise, and necessary in the eyes of politicians, who reap from them a golden har vest. for the defense of the country ; and when once this line of policy is entered upon, the people will be come tho almoners of the Government, personal inde pendence will be undermined, and there will bo no limit to public expenditure but the capacity of greedy cormorants to devour it. There is no safety but in a stern and unflinching denial of the constitutional power of Congress to make Internal Improvements. Upon this rock we stand and are willing to risk the people upon the issue. And if it be unconstitutional for Congress to build the Road, much more will it be unconstitutional for Congress to incorporate a company to build it. The power to grant charters of incorporation was expressly denied to Congress by tho convention which framed it, and even if Congress had this power, it would bo unsafe to exercise it. Stiff a company would build up a mo nopoly so great and overshadowing as to be dangerous to liberty. As compared to the Bank of the United States it would be as an elephant to a mouse. There is then but one way to build a Road to Cali fornia which is free from objections. The several States which desire a connection with the golden west, can charter companies with ample powers to hold real estates out of their limits for Railroad purposes; the Government of the United States can give such compa nies the right of way through the Territories and such other contributions in land for an equivelant in mail and other govermental facilities as may be deemed expedi ent; and thus secure the building of several Roads to California in a very few years. We believe one is already in process of construction from St. Louis; another is in embryo in New Orleans, and still another in Mem phis. So thattheie can be no doubt but that by a lit tle patience we will set California in contact with Washington in a very few years, and the Gov ernment and people bo preserved from the contamina ting influences which will follow in the wake of an at- ; tempt to build a Road from the Atlantic to tho Pacific by the Government. We eonfess our inability to appreciate the full force of the argument drawn from the exposed situation of California in time of war. There is no propped of a war, and in a very few years the Pacific will swarm with a population as great, as free and as capable of i seif-protection as we are on the Atlantic. And as wc j have before hinted, private enterprise will build the Road in quite as short time os Government possibly j can. The subject is so vast, that wo have only room to ; state propositions in respect to it, and not to argue them, j This our readers will do, each for himself. If the immense numbers of persons who are favorable to the Pacific Road could harmonise upon a route, we would have no hope of defeating this great scheme of plunder ; but by uniting with each by turn, we can , defeat the other, and by a delay of a few years, we are j sure we can defeat the bill ou its merits. Before then, private enterprise will push the steam ear under the j base of the Rocky Mountains. O” The steamship Florida, from Savannah, arrived in New York on the 2d inst. She made the trip in 57 hours. We believe there were over forty persons j from this city on board. | Mississippi Union Bank Bonds. —The Belletin learns from a correspondent at Jackson, that the High Court of Errors and Appeals—the Supreme Judicial tribunal in Mississippi—has decided (tho Judges being unanimous in opinion) that tho State is legally bound to j pay tbo Union Bank Bonds, and that no act of the Le- ! gislature or vote of the people oan affect the question. This is, indeed, an important decision. O” Harvard Coliego conferred the degree of L.L. ! IX, upon Hon.

The amount of money in active circulation in the United States ifi estimated, in the Merchants ’ Maga zine, at $295,471,257, which, reckoning the population at 25.000,000, would make sl*2 per head. It was sll in 1816 and 1836, when there was an enormous paper currency afloat, and but $5 50 in 1830. One-third of the present currency is gold. A etc York Herald for Sale. —Tho N. Y.

Neither proposition has been definitely accepted.” O’ Philadelphia is believed to bo sound on the slave question.

[From the Marietta Advocated Free-Soilers. Stranger — “ls this the road to V Answer —“ ’Deed and it is, yer honor, but you’ll have to take the other end of it if yo ever get there.” j A similar response might he given to the Toombs and Jenkins whigs of Georgia. They hate tree-soil, ers. But they have made quite a mistake in de nouncing tim democratic party. They have the wrong end of the roid. The whig party is the free-soil party, if there is truth in Daniel Webs'er’s words. Are these Union Whig Republican c ti zers of Georgia in search of a man whom they can convict of belonging to a parly in which free-aoil i ers are honored and trusted I We can point out such a case. Wc can cite them to one who is a fit subject for their severest denunciations. First, iet them say what is a free soiler. Is it a man who says in 1850: “Wherever there is s particular good to be done; wherever here is afot of land to be stayed lade from becoming slave terr.tory ; l am ready to assert ’he j rineiple of the exclus on ofsla very 1” Would such a o ,i e pass F.*r a free soiler ? Is the man who said in 1851 : *•I never would con sent, and never hat e consented, that t iere should be one foot of slave territory beyond theold Thirteen Stales had a? the time of the formation of the union,” a free-soiler 1 Would the avowal of such sentiments as the f {lowing give a m n any good appellation of freesoiler ? ••Really, the exclusive appropriation of the name of Free Soil by this party, was a very bo'd proceeding. They have certainly stolen the sentiment from the whigs ; it was a clear case of petty larceny. Are these men better lovers of lib erty than we are? N ! Wo areas good liberty men and anti slavery men as they profess to be themselves.” Certainly, the most ardent haters of treesoilers, the most wide m< utbed denouncets of the appointment by President Pierce of men of whom they say that they are free soilers, will admit that no man could be a better free soiler than one who holds such sentiments . s ‘heabove. Now 7 , let these conservative republican whigs of Georgia take the stand. Lst them answer the question, whether they would tolerate, much less support, the man who would elevate to high and responsible office, j the author of such sentiments as the above ? What j will they answer ? They deprecate the appoint* meat- by President Pierce of a petty postmaster, | or of a subordinate agent in the non-slaveholding • States, whom they may choose to suspect of holding j freesoil sentiments They condemn him, and his administration, and the democratic party, on the I mere charge. Wont then would be their reply to j the question, would you support any man who j would elevate to high office one who held such; freesoil sentiments as the above? What would be ! the answer? Unless their cry against freesoilism has its origin in tne basest and lowest motives of hu- j man conduct,they would indignantly reply, that they would not. Then these immaculate conservative j whigs should wheel about and take “the other end of the road.” They should lose no time in attack- j ingone Charles J. Jenkins for the attempt to elevate j to the Presidency Daniel Webster, whose language | above proves that no petty pos'maater away down j east could be appointed by Pies dent Pierce who j could be a better, stronger, heartier freesoiler than 1 was Daniel Webster. T.iere is no getting round j this plain statement of the case. On the one hand j here is Gen. Pierce —you conservative Union Re publicans, or whigs, or what not, say tha; he, a dem- j ocratic has appointed to the office of} postmaster somewhere at the North, John Stniih, or \ som body else, who, as you say, y. u have reason j to believe, is a freesoiler. This you condemn, and for nothing else, vou set yourself a opposition to the Presideig, and his administration, and his party. Then, on the otlmr hand, is Charles J. Jenkins, wiio supported Daniel Webster, a known and avowed j freesoiler, for the very highest office in the govern- j meat, and who would have u ade him Pres and nt if ho could? How can you make that right in one, which would be wrong if done by another l No. You will have, uuiess you are willing to subject yourself to the charge of the grossest inconsistency and the most palpable hypocrisy, to take the “other end of the road.” You will have to cull Charles J. Jenkinx to account, if you are sincere in reprobating the elevation of freesoilera to office. National Scientific Convention. Cleveland, August 1, 1853.

Captain Jonas P. Levy, who has a grant to oppi a communication across Mexico through the Alva rado nver to the Pacific, has airived in the city v.itl nis engineers, intending to proceed immediately t< Vera Cruz, to enter upon the execution of his pro ject. This route starts at Vera Cruz, runs thenei to Alvarado, and up the river of that name as far as j navigable, and thence it is contemplated to construct ‘ a railroad to a port on the Pacific, midway between Acapulco and Tehuantepec, which is pronounced one of the finest hat Dors on the whole coast. Captain Levy enters upon this grand design en tirely on his own responsibility, and appears to be sanguine of success. ; Last vear he offered to contract to take the mail !to Sin Francisco from New Orleans,in twelve days S for §250 0 0 This proposition caused the failure of Ramsey’s contract, which demanded 55;00,0ft 11 lor a like service. We hope Capt. Levy may suc ceed in his design. The more routes we have, the better for the country, and the nearer they are to \ Vera Ciuz, the better for tho commerce and pros -1 pects of New Orleans.— Y. O. Della Aug, sth. Railroad Meeting. We were at the railroad meeting Wednesday | night, and were highly ratified at the large attend i ance, and the spirit manifested. The absence of j several distinguished speakers, engaged lor the oe j casion,caused much disappointment. Col. Belser, however, responded to a call and spoke for half an hour. He was succeeded by Gen. El more in a very few appropriate remarks : a committee of ten was on mot on appointed to report at a meeting to be held to-night at Estelle Hall, in furtherance of the ! Union Springs Railroad, a Railroad Convention and Barbecue was appointed, too, for this place, on the* \ first Friday in September. Wc again urge every | real estate holder, every merchant, every grocer, i men of all classes, yes, and tho ladies, too—all to turn out to-night,and let us s'nrt the movement vigorously. Columbus, Georgia, has just in creased her subscription to the Girard Rail | Road, an additional & 159,000, which almost insures j its completion to Union Springs. Now is clearly the j auspicious time to take steps to conn eract the ef | forts of our rival on the Chattaho >rhec, and retain I the valuable trade which wiil oih> rwi-e inevitably ! leave us. Half way measures will not answer.— i Liberal, speedy, and harmonious action is de ‘ manded. Leins, too, disregard the advice of those j “old fogies,” who are featful that we will undertake j too many enterprises at one time. Unless very i cautious, the Pensacola road will absorb our alien ! tion to other great connections. That r >ad is now j beyond contingency, and we me justified in ?rrt i ing the railroad to Union Springs, at the earliest i possible day. Consider that without our road to | that rich section we cannot retain its valuable trade | —our best interest demands its early completion— j and Montgomery must lake the init at ve. Do not j forget the meeting to-night in Estelle Hull.— Adv. j cj* Gazette. Pacific Railroad. Col. Benton ha* caused to be published a let- I tei from Mr. Harris Heap, n companion of Lieute i nant Beale in his central route expedition to Cali | fornia, corroborative of the slat ment contained in the letter of the Litter gentleman, published in yes j terday’s paper. The import nt fact is announced | that through the entire line which the party has ex | por and, embracing qui’c half the distance between | the boundaries of Missouri and California, and ; comprehending the most ifficult portion of the iine, • the construction of the road at an easy grade is not : only practicable but the country is fertile and well | wateied, presenting the greatest inducement !to husbandmen.

The remain i der of the route is reported to be st 11 more levpi, i and tho mountain pass presented the appearance of S a broad, smo >th valley. So far the central route | appears so be well adapted for the grand enterprise jof a railroad t<> the Pacific. Captain M irey asserts j that the route from the Mississippi river at Memphis, | or its vicinity, via El Paso or Dona Ana, and thence 1 | down she Gila river to its intersection with the C<l - oiodo, and across to San Diego, possesses advanta | ges over all others. Should ~Capt.<irr M.’s opinion ! | be proved correct, and the expectations of Major Stevens, who is now surveying what is termed the northern route, be realized, the doubts which have rested oils the mind of the country as to ihe possi bility of making a railroad at all will be swept a wav, and tbe Work will goon with marvelous celerity.

I'AKKFK, ATTOKNEY AT LAW, CONCORD, j NEW HAMPSHIRE. ] ‘There was a great rush at Willard’s on inau t guration day—indeed there was a perfect jam everywhere —-and our friend Parker found some difficulty in getting down to the dinner table along with some of his townsmen. Ine dinner was a fine one, the champagne delicious, and after an hour’s sitting, the New Englanders left the table in the merriest mood imaginable. “Now, fellows,” said Parker, as they emerged from the dining-room, “every one look out for his own hat; Pve got a mark on mine that no body can mistake.” But there was some sort ot a mistake some where, notwithstanding. It was some time be fore Mr. Parker found his hat at all, and even then lie labored under the impression that it | had grown a trifle older since he wont to dinner. ; But the placard was in the crown, all right, and •j “Asa Parker, Attorney at Law, Concord, New I Hampshire/’ stared him in the face as he looked I inside. I “All right, fellows,” said Parker, raising the tile to his gourd. “ Nothing like making sure | of things when you are going into a crowd 1 | My hat’s safe, anyhow.” But he only put the hat on the top of his s head, for it was entirely too small to go on. “What’s the matter, Parker?” inquired one of the party, as the attorney attempted to pull on tho hat. “ Oh! nothing,” responded Parker, again ■ looking into the hat--“ nothing—it’s all right, of course— ‘ Asa Parker, Attorney at Law, Con -1 j cord, New Hampshire’—certainly; I knew it : must he my hat.” And again ho attempted to pull the hat on. The party around could illy suppress laughter ; at the comical motions of the embarrassed law j yer, hut he did not appear to notice it, and in dustriously endeavored to make the hat fit somehow. In a state of the most absolute be wilderment, he at length turned to one of the i party, and presenting the hat, desired him to | toil what name was in it. ‘The man read “Asa Parker, Attorney at Law, Concord, New Hamp shire.” ! “All right—of course,” exclaimed Parker, again attempting to pull on the hat, only to his grea te rbe w ilde r men t. “Will you have the kindness to tell mo who 1 am V’ said he, still more perplexed. “Certainly,” said the man addressed : von are ] Asa Parker, Attorney at Law, of Concord, New Hampshire.” “Os course,” said P. “Darn it, I knew it.’’ I And lie made one more trinl at the hat. It would be very difficult to say whether Mr. | Parker knew himself from “a hole in the ground’’ j about this juncture ; he looked again into the j hat and read the inscription, and then at his friends, Who still preserved straight faces, and finally caved. “Gentlemen,” said P. with intense gravity, j j “if I am Asa Parker, Attorney at Law, Con cord, New Hampshire, and this hat belongs to Asa Parker, Attorney at Law, Concord, New Hampshire, all ! have to say, is, that my head has swelled most d——y since I went to din j ncr It is not told who changed Mr. Parker’s card into somebody vise’s hat. i Beards and Civilisation. Beards are very singularly connected in his tory with the progress of civilisation. The early history of all nations naturally exhibits a bearded people, for the beard itself is an ordi nance of nature. The early Greeks and Ro mans did not shave. The Greeks began to use the razor about the time of Alexander, who commanded all his soldiers to shave, lest their beards should afford a handle for their enemies. This was little more than 300 years before the Christian era ; and, thirty years after Alexander, Ticinius introduced the habit of shaving among the Romans. The Gothic invader sos the Wes tern empire revived the habit of wearing tire beard. The Anglo Saxons were a bearded race when William the Conqueror invaded England, and therefore the Conqueror and his Normans | ever after wore the chin smooth, in order to dis tinguish them from tire vanquished: and thus, even in the Norman invasion, the shaven chin S became the emblem of an advanced civilisation. In like manner, amid all the long controversies between the Eastern and the Western Churches, the Western Church has invariably espoused the cause of the razor, while the Greek or Eastern Church as resolutely defends the cause of the beard. Civilisation has marched in the West, and remained stationary in the East, in the land of beards. When Peter the Great determined to civiiise his Russian subjects, one of the means I which he considered indispensable was the use j of the razor; he therefore commanded his sold- i iers to shave every layman who refused to do it himselr, and rare sport they had with the stub born old patriarchs who persisted in retaining their much cherished emblems of age and wis dom. The civilisation of the West is decidedly emblemed by the shaven chin; and therefore it seemed an ominous and remarkable circujm - ■ .. ~ atance that, in the late continental revolution; the resumption of the beard should have born*’ so conspicuous and important a part, m T* “* Comfort for Homely Women.— “ Beauty j said Lord Karnes, “is a dangerous prop,,/ j tending to corrupt the mind of the wife, thou/’ | it soon loses its influence oyer the husband. \. j figure agreeable and engaging, which inspire j i flection, without the ebriety of love, is a much safer choice.
