MONDAY, APRIL 20, 1850. “The Present slate and Condition of the Kail Road Interest.” Under the above heading the Rail Road Record gives an interesting article respecting fluctuation in the price of Rail Road stocks for the past two years, and assigns as the great cause, the immense and heavy speculations in them. “ But those who were able to hold their s'oeks have not sustained any loss.” The waiting time,” it says, “is nearly over, and it ii time to look at the great causes at work to produce a great change in the value of Rail Road property and securities,” and adds : “2. Another great cause of Railroad depre ciation in 1855, was the very slioit creeps of 1854. This was felt most severely till Sep tember, 1855, when the Railroads began to show a great improvement in freight. This improvement has continued in an increasing ra tio ever since. The crops of 1855 were very great, and those of 18:56 promise to do well; at least there is no room for anticipating ticipating another deficient season. 3. There is another cause, not counted, which lias operated prodigiously against the Roads, but which is now much less efficient.— We mean the foaling debts, which were thought essly created in a time of money plea ty. but which could only he carried by im mense sacrifices in time of pressure. Many of die roads have either paid, or funded this ruin ous debt. It is this which has caused many of them to pass a dividend when otherwise they might make it. The prospect now is that dur ing the coining year most of the active roads will make cash dividends, and the effect of that, on their securities will he very great. 4. r J'he continued and rapid increase of Railroads will prove in a short time, that Rail- Stocks, in four cases out ot five, will oe the best in the country.

They are all in the North-West, in new States, They cost more than eighty millions and pay a nett income of 9 per cent. If, in opposition to tin's, it be said, there are other roads which do not do so well, it is enough to say there are hut few other roads really completed, that is, have their equipments, funded their floating debt, and have everything in full operation. T 1 e statements and reasons we have here given have, at least, the weight of undeniable facts, and they point surely and certainly to a rise in railroad property.’' We gave in our issue of last week a State ment of the Earnings and Profits of the Geor gia Railroad, which was equal to 10 per cent on its immense capital. The Atlanta & La Grange Railroad lias never paid its stockhold ers les3 than six per cent from the day they paid in the money'. Itjmude, last year twenty per cent profit. The Georgia Air Line Railroad is on a di rect line with the Atlanta & LaGrange road, and there is no good reason why the former, when built, will not pay as well as the latter. American Triumi'ii is Baton Rough. —At the recent election held in Baton Rouge, La., the American Ticket for municipal officers was triumphantly elected. The Gazette, of that place, says that the contest for some of the posts to 1/6'filled “ was a sharp one,” but that “the American candidates triumphed by unex pectedly large majorities.” Mr. (.'. W. Benedict, proprietor of a paper mill near Raleigh, has recently been testing, with signal success, (he practicability of man u aeturing wrapping paper from the ordinary broom straw. For strength it is particularly alapted to the use of grocers and others. Been wan in New York. —A number of the friends of Mr. Buchanan had a private din ner parly at the New York Hotel, on Friday evening last, with the view of bringing out a significant demonstration for Buchanan in that city and State. About fifty gentlemen sat down to dinner, and among them were Beverly Tucker, editor of the Washington Sentinel ; Col. John \V. Forney, late Clerk of the House of Representatives ; George N. Saunders, late United States Consul at London ; Isaac s'. Fowler, postmaster of New York city ; Col. Thomas Dunlap, deputy naval officer of the port of New York, and several other gentlemen of like prominence. Boston.— An enumeration of the population of Boston, just taken, shows again 16 31 per cent s nee 1850. This is mostly foreign, the increase of the native population being less than one per cent. The census of 1855 is the first one which shows the foreign . population of Boston to outnumber the Americans. The to tal American population number 75,922, or 47 02 per cent, and the foreign number 86,507, or 52 98 per cent—the entire population being 151,2-19, and consisting of 77,567 and 84,862 females. American Meeting.—A very large and en thusiastic meeting was held in the town of Lex itgton, Davidson county, N. 0 , on the Ist inst. The nonmation ot Fillmore and Donelson was heartily responded to. At the election held on Monday, in Fremont, Mass., the whole American ticket was elected by a handsome majority. This is the first t irue the demodrats have ever been defeated in Fre mont. Election in Terrell.— On Monday lire 7th inst , an election was held lor county offices in the new county of Terrell, and resulted in the choice of the entire American ticket, by major ities ranging from thirty or forty to seventy or eighty.

We have observed several wonderful stories of late respecting the skill of the Chinese exe cutioners, w. o> it is said can strike off the heads of their victims so skillfully that the poor fel lows themselves never discover their loss until a moment or two after they' are dead. We re- , call to mind, however, the story ol a German 1 executioner, who far surpassed the Chinese in | professional dexterity. Upon one occasion it j happened that a Criminal, who was condemned ] to death had a-singnlar itching to play at nine- 1 pin-; and he implored permission to play once more at his favorite game h fore lie died.— Then he said he would submit to his fate with out a murmur. The Judge, thinking, there could be no harm in humoring him granted his last prayer, and, upon arriving at. the place of execution, lie found every thing prepared for the game—the pins being set up and the bowls all ready. lie commence 1 bis favorite sport with en thusiasm. After a while, the Sheriff observing that he showed no inclination to desist, made a sign to the executioner to strike the fatal blow while he stooped for a bowl. The executioner did so, but with such exquisite dexterity that the culprit did not notice or feel i’. lie thought indeed that a cold breath of air was blowing upon iiis neck; and drawing himself hack with a shrug, Ins head dropped forward into his hands. He naturally supposed that it was a bowl which he had grasped, and seizing itfirm ly rolled it at the pins. All of them fell; and the head was heard to exclaim as it rebounded from the further wa’l, ‘-llarrah! I've won the ga me!” —Portfol io. Nomination of Fillmore and Donelson Ratified in New Orleans.— A large number of citizens assembled on the Neutral ground New Orleans, on Saturday' evening, the 12th inst.. to ratify the nominations made by the Philadelphia Convention. Hon. C. M. Con rad presided. The meeting, says the Picayune, was in turn addressed by the President, by Judge Moore, Major J. Waddell, J. 11. Har man Col. J. S. Williams Col. Field. The speaker were all enthusiastic, and voucheds in express terms for the worth and capability of their standard bearers. Prior to tiie adjournment of the meeting the following resolution, proposed by Dr. Tlarman, was unanimously adopted. Resolved. That, we cordially approve of the nominations of Millard Fillmore and Andrew Jackson Donelson as candidates for President and Vice President of the United States; and will use all honorable means to promote their election. Tub Cincinnati Convention. —The Yew York News, one of the organs of the Hards, says that it is impossible for the two sections of the Democratic party of that State to sit together, or to vote together, in the Cincinnati National Convention. The editor asks: Is it likely that any name can he proposed upon which they can unite: that any platform can lie lanUlown upon which they can harmo noously stand? Certainly not: and the vote of New York must, therefore, remain withheld; it can never be cast in the Convention. To admit the two delegations would be virtually to eject New York from the Convention, lor she could never agree to vote. Startling Phenomena, Mr. John Parker, and son, were attending to some fish lines on the river about three miles above here, when they were surprised by a con tinuous, unusual roaring towards the middle of the stream—the night was without wind.— Owing to the darkness, no effort was made to ascertain the cause of this strange noise until daylight, when it was seen that a whirlpool of large extent was in active operation, some two hundred'yards from the Missouri shore, which still continues in operation, drawing in a great body of water. Ho much, indeed, that the vol ume of the river below is sensibly lessened*— Drift-wood and large floating logs go in and disappear totally. Many hundreds went up yesterday to see this strange sight. Unless this irumens" chasm soon fills up with water, the effect upon navigation will be calamitous indeed, for it would seem the bottom of the river has really fallen out.— Kansas Sovereign. Birth of an American Print* . Programme of the ceremonial to be observed on the birth of a child to Mr. Riggs, one of the Sovereigns of America. When Mrs. Diggs begins to feel that the long-expected tune has at last arrived, she will wake Diggs from the sound sleep lie will be cn joying, and on his asking, What is the mat ter?” he will be informed by Mrs. Diggs. As soon as Diggs can hastily get on his pantaloons, hoots and coat, he shall go immediately for the Nurse, the Grand Mistress of Digg-’ house hold, as soon as she steps her foot within his door, and after escorting the Grand Mistress to the said door, lie shall inform the family physi cian. who shall immediately repair to the Diggs castle. Diggs shall also convey the informa tion of what is transpiring to all who hold rank in his household, ilis mother-in-law— she shall appear in whatever clothes she cau find handy, the state of her nerves on learning the facts, being in such a condition as to pre vent ail elaborate toilet. On arriving at the Diggs Castle, she shall exclaim, “ Ah, my poor, dear Emily,” and look at Diggs, us if sfec thought him the worst of criminals. Diggs, 011 receiving ti.is look in silence, shall cause th :■ head j.s and the Maid of the Bed-chambers t, j be called, and he in waiting in an ante-room for whatever orders the Grand Mistress of the Household may send them. Diggs is expected to faithfully execute all these orders in not less than ten minutes, and when they are accom plished, Diggs is at liberty to retire to in's pri vate apartment, and there await further orders from the Grand Mistress of the Household.— In the meanwhile his nervous system nmy re quire a little weak toddy, and in the intervals of propping his nerves, Diggs shall frequently declare that lie wishes the thing was all over. In the chamber of Mrs. Diggs there shall only he the physicians, the Grand Mistress of the Household and The mother-in-law. The lat ter distinguished personage, before many days, will make an effort to outrank the Grand Mis tress of the Household, and in the tilts which ensue consequent upon this effort, Diggs is ex pected to take both sides and carry water on both shoulders. The cook shall retire to the kitchen, stir up her fire and hold herself ready for any service needed. The Maid of the Bed Chambers shall assemble herself anywhere with in calling distance from the door of Mrs. Diggs’ apartment and when the Grand Mistress of the Household gives her orders and tells her not to be all day about it she shall obey them. At the moment at which the signs are pro pitious, Diggs shall he informed that it is near ly all over. Diggs will put moi e questions than he can be answered, and he will be told to wait a little while longer, that his dear Emily is bearing up wonderfully, and frequently calls upon her dear Tommy. Thomas Diggs shall sigh, and wish it \va3all over again. In tlie morning, when the room is put to right, Diggs shall he called to Mrs. Diggs’ apartments, and the child shall be presented to j him by the Grand Mistress of the Household, 1 and Diggs shall examine it, first with profound J astonishment, and then assuming a more jo vial air, shall touch its little cheek, and call it “ the dear, weeny, peeny. little thing." Diggs shall then kiss his dear Emily about one dozen times, and express much sympathy tor her suf ferings. Mrs. Diggs will then give him distinct ly to understand that that child is the last, and that men have no idea of the sufferings of poor woman. The child’s name having been long fixed, Diggs shall then proceed to the parlor, and taking down the family bible, slmll make a minute (proces verbal) of the birth of the child, in accordance with the long established usages of the American Sovereigns. Soon after daylight, the aunts, the cousins, and all the relations that are recognized by the farnily, including all the relations of the moth er-in law, shall call at the house and he inform ed of all the particulars by the mother-in-law. The cook and maid of the bed-chambers will convey the intelligence over the back yard fence to the cook and maid of the bed-chambers of the second yard, so that every family in the block shall receive intelligence of tho joyful event by breakfast time. Diggs will then take his breakfast without grumbling about the cookery, and proceed to his place of business. By his manner Diggs will indicate to his follow sovereigns whether the child is a hoy or a girl. If it is a hoy. Diggs will he unusually lively—he will walk with a spring—his face will be covered With smiles—he will, in fact, make every one be meets exclaim “ there goes a happy dog.” If it is a girl, he will feel happy, and be happy, but bis happiness will he subdued, quiet and calm.— When lie arrives at his place of business, he will there proclaim the great event, and is not expected to notice any little joke which may be perpetrated at his expense. Di<*g.s will return homo at least six times dur inn- the first day. He will look at the child six times, and tickling' its cheeks with bis finger, will six times exclaim—'• Oh. the weeny beeny little thing?” Diggs will take ail orders to the Pharmacopoiist, and the Pharmacopofisi is ex pected to he unusually elated with the news.— The Pharmacoplist will congratulate him in set terms, and will ask how they are doing— Diggs will inform him that they arc doing well as could be expected under the circumstances, and will go a little into particulars, with which the Pharmacopoiist will be highly delighted to air his knowledge of the whole business. In four weeks after the birth of the child, the Grand Mistress of the Household will va cate the premises. Diggs will then receive strict orders that he is not expected to go out after tea. '[lie dear weeny, beeny little thing will always be sick after tea, and he must help his dear Emily to keep it quiet, and get it sound asleep.

Some time having elapsed, his lord ship was surprised at not receiving a challenge from her former husband, and being anxious to make reparation, sent the following offer of satisfaction: "Sir: Having done you the greatest injury that one man can do another, 1 think it incumbent upon me to offer you the satisfaction which one gentleman owes to un other in such circumstanses.” The husband replied: “My Lord, in taking off my bands a woman who has proved herself a wretch, you have done me the greatest favor that one man can do another, and 1 think it incumbent upon me to offer you the acknowledgments which one gentleman owes to another in such circum stances.” Several of the Sag-Nicht papers are sneer ing at Mr Fillmore because lie. was elevated lo the Presidency not by the people but by the de cree of Providence.

Mr. Fillmore aad Mr. Donelson. The following incident is related to ns by a gentleman who happened to be pres ent when Mr. Fiilmore visited the Hermit age as he passed through this seet’o 1 of cuntry after tliejelose of his Presidency, lie called, after leaving the Hermitage, and spent several ours with Major Donelson, who had prepared a collation of which many of the neighbors partook. In the course of the evening, Major Donelson, after adverting to the fact, that he had once bitterly opposed Mr. Fillmore, hav ing looked upon him as the head of a party which stood on a platform unsafe for the institutions of the South, stated to his friends and neighbors that he was happy to have such an opportunity as this of expressing his conviction, that he had do: e ids distinguished guest, who bad jest left, great injustice. It wasnow man ifest that Mr. Fillmore was a far more re liable friend of the constitutional rights of all sections of the Union than Mr. Pierce, for whom he, Air. Donelson had voted. Time had showed that Mr. Pierce was the patron of the ultraists who had so bitterly opposed the Compromise Meas ures, as a final settlement of the slavery question. It was also now evident tha Mr. Fillmore, in standing by that settle ment, had brought upon himself the wrath of the higher law men of the Noith. Un der such circumssances Mr. Donelson said, lie was ready to make all the amends in his power, and that as he had helped his Democratic friends to pull down the ad ministration of Mr. Fillmore, he would say to them that lie was ready to build it up again : and as an earnest of his inten tions, he would now propose as a toast, at his own house and at his own table : Millard Fillmore. —The people will make him President in 185fi, us they did Gen. Jackson in 1828 and in 1832 lie is true to the Constitution and the Union, whilst his Democratic successor has shame fully surrendered both to the keeping of the higher law men of the North and the South, the Rhetts and Chevesses of the latter section, and the Sewards and Gid- Giddingses of the former. This toast was drank with acclamation, and affords conclusive evidence of Major Donelson’s high appreciation of Mr. Fill more at a time when his open and manly j expressing of such appreciation could by j no possibility be subject lo the imputation j of having proceeded from any other than j the most honorable motives. — Bep.
