Atlantic and Pacific Railroad Comp.
A bill is now before our State Legislature
for the incorpation of this "company, consist
ing of Levi S. Chatfield Frederick Follett,
William J. McAlpine, Erastus Corning,
Dean Richmond, Orville Clark, Peter Coop
er, Abraham Huett, Simeon Draper. Sanford

sons as shall or may be associated with their
for the purpose of constructing a railroad
from the Mississippi valley or from the Gulf
of Mexico to San Francisco, or some other
Mailable point on thePacific:Wean—reserv -- .
,ing, also to the company the right of a branch
lb Oregon. After making the necessary
iprovisions for the survey of the route, the
bill provides' that the company shall finish
, a single track in the Pacific in five years,
.and for a line, also, of magnetic telegraph.
iThe capital stock is fixed. at a . hundred mil
lions, in shares of a thousand dollars each.
•The maximum charge for passengers.is !lin
t.
?ted at four cents for two thousand pounds,
or one ton, per mile for freight, other than
P etals. or live stock, or animals. 'fhese,
omitting the details of organization are the
prominent features of the bill.
• The company propose to build say fifty
miles of road; upon-which the government
of the United States will issue bonds to the
company at so much per mile ; and, when
fifty miles more are completed, another is
sue of bonds, at a fixed amount per mile, to
be issued, and so on until the entire work
is completed to San Diego. For this loan
of credit, to whatever extent it may be, with
in thirty millions of dollars, the company
propose to carry the mail, officials, naval and
other stores ; in fact, to transport from the
Atlantic to the Pacific all government mat
ter and material, of any kind, for a period of
thirty years free of all charge. This ser
vice (a saving in the mails alone, of *SOO,-
' 000 a year) will be worth to the government
at least three millions of dollars per annum,
which in thirty years will amount, with in-
terest on expenditures as now made, to up
wards of one hundred millions of dollars.—
This immense sum will be saved to the peo
ple of the United States for the mere loan of
government credit to this company, for thir
ty Millions of dollars. Every dollar of this
credit will be protected by,the railroad com
pany and every
,dollar liquidated, perlpps
before maturity. _
'ro give some idea of the resources of this
company, and of the lad of men engaged
in this great national enterprise, it is only
necessary to state that Peter Cooper,. of New
Jersey, will furnish the iron, and the Messrs.
Norris, of Pennsylvania the motive power.
Contractors of experience capital, energy,
and perseverance have already offered to
put the whole line in the hands of engi
neers and laborers, and have agreed to com
plete the work within five years. There is
no doubt this can be accomplished, as. won
derful and extraordinary as it may appear.
The route contemplated is the most feasible
of any yet surveyed; and if ever a railroad
to the Pacific is constructed, it will, most
probably, be along the line proposed , by this
company.
The advantages, then, presented by this
plan, are, first, that it combines the public
credit and a large organization of private
capitol, skill, means, .materials machinery,
and enterprise, in this great work. This is
the best and the only practicable sort of com
bination- for the success of so vast a scheme.
Undertaken by the government alone or by
the government in conjunction with the
States, the work would languish from bad
manogement from excessive expenditures,
needless delays, and from continual changes
front one set of managers to another through
ihe intrigues rind corruptions of our politi
cal eleetions. On the other hand, no pri
vate Company, upon its own resources, could
either undertake or accomplish this work,
reqUiring the basis of a hundred millions.—
We have too many other investments of
private capital " . The work, 'mast necessa
rily depend upon a Combination of private
enterprise and capital, lied the credit of the
government to begin with. -Then again the
great object of first accomplishing the main
.trunk, in a single track to: he Pacific is here
properly Made the leading idea. That ob-
Aect attained, the rest of the work, and all its
,tributary lines; will be cornparitively easy.
It would be a work of 'supererogation to
} recapitulate the ,advantages. which` would
accrue to the country , and the government
'from a mod across the breast of the continent
,to the Pacific. These advantages are.man

bear; repeat once in two or three days, and
bore the horns on the under side two or three
inches from the • head, so as to let in fresh
air—and let the putrid matter out if any has
collected. I have never know this fail, if
taken before they are too far gone. I have
cured one cow when the top of the head was
so full of matter that I opened a place above
the ear, which discharged more than a half
pint.. This was in the summer.; the cow
was tattered in the Fall and killed ; the head
was all right, excepting a place at the roots

Something for the Farmers.
A gentleman in an address before the
Ohio State Agricultural Society, dins speaks
on this subject :
Many farmers who are destroying the '
productiveness of their farms by shallow
work as they find that their crops are dimin
ishing, think only of extending their area by
adding acres of surface as if they supposed
that their title deeds only gave them a right
to six inches deep, of earth. If they will
take those deeds, study their meaning, and
apply the lesson to their fields, they will
soon realize in three fold crops the fact that
the law has given them three farms where
they supposed they had but one,in other
words, that the subsoil brought up and Com
bined with the topsoil and enriched with the
atmospheric influences, and those other ele
ments
which agricultural science will teach
them to apply to their ground, will increaco
three -fold, the- measures of its productive
ness. To show to what an extent the fer
tility of the soil can be increased, I refer to
a statement in the last Patent Office Re
port. In the year 1850 there were nine
competitors for the premium corn crop of
Kentucky,each of whom cultivated 10 acres.
There average crop, was about 122 bushels
per acre. At that time the average crop of
wheat per acre in the harvests of Great Brit
ian, on a soil cultivated for centuries is about
double that produce on the virgin soil of
Ohio. Why is this ? Simply because Brit
ish farmers are educated men, and apply
the priaciplis - of enlightened agriculture to
their work. They pay back to the earth
what they borraw they, endeavor by every
means in their power, to enrich their ground
and in return it enriches them. If our far
mers, instead of laboring to double their
acres, would endeavor to 'double their crops
they would find it a vast saving of time and
foil and an increase of profits.
Many of them never think of digging ten
inches into the,soil, unless they have dreamed
about a crock of gold,hid in the earth ; but
if they would set about the work-of digging
in earnest, every man would find his crock
of gold, without the aid of dreams or divines.
We have a great advantage over the Bri
tish farmers in the fact that our farmers
nearly all, hold the lands which.they
unto an fee simple, while in England they
are chiefly tenants, hiring the lands of •the
nobility, paying enormatis rents to the pro
prietors, besides heavy taxes to the-govern
men: Taxes here are comparatively light
arid• our farmers are their own landlords.—
Hence - they
,have been able to pay three
fold wages for labor to those paid in Europe,
pay the costs of transportation, and yet un
dersell the British farmeri in their own mar
kets.
Rancid Butter.
A French scientific journal state that'the
bad smell and taste of butter may be entirely
removed by working it over in water mixed
with chloridts of lime. The discovery was
made by a arussels farmer,, whose pratice
is to take a sufficient quantity of pure cold
water to work it in, and put in it from 25
to 20 drops of chloride of lime for every ten
pounds of butter. When it has been work
ed until the whole - , has been brought into
contact with the water, it should be worked
again in pure water, when it will be found
to be aweekaswhen originally made.

Railroad Meeting.
In pursuance of a call published in the
newspapers of the county.. a large and re
spectable meeting of the citizens of Lehigh
county, was held at the Court House, in Al
lentoArn, January 31, 1853.
On motion Charles W. Wiearol Esq., of
Upper Milford, was called to the chair, and
R. E. Wright, Esq., appointed Secretary.
The object of the meeting having been sta
ted, on motion of Jacob Dinigger, the fol
lowing preample and resolutions were adopt
ed:
WHEREAS, it has been proposed to request
the Commissioners of Lehigh County, to
avail themselves of the permission granted
by an act of Assembly, antliorizing subscrip
lions to mill / pads in process of construction,
and to subscribe in the name of the coun
ty, for $lOO,OOO worth of stock in the Phil.
adelphia, Easton and Water Gap Railroad
Company, upon conditions that the termin
us of said road be made at Allentown, and
whores said Company has not applied for,
nor have they any permission to terminate
their way in Lehigh county, hut are by
their charter required to reach the Lehigh
river at some point in Northampton county,
and are by their agents locating the road,
and purchasing the right of way from the
Lehigh river in the said county of North
ampton ; therefore
Resolved, - That it-is - inexpedient to take
any further action in the premises.
Resolved, That it is the opinion of this
meeting, that the most favorable or practible
route for a Rail road, from the Coal region,
on the Lehigh to Philadelphia, is the one
connecting with the Lehigh Valley at Allen
town, thence through Leiberts Gap, and
down the Hoseneack and Perkiomen to the
Norristown road, being a lighter grade, short
er, and more direct route. than any other
now in contemplation, between Philadelphia
and the Lehigh Valley.
Important Rumor.
The Brownsville dlmerican Flag, of the
12th ult., says : "This morning, just as we
are going to press, a rumor is current t 6 the
eff:ct that the Mexican war steamer Esta
do de Mexico, had arrived at the mouth of
the river, with the expected force destined
for the attack of Matamoras. We cannot
vouch for the authenticity of the rumor, tho'
it seems dim General A.volos attaches suffi
cient importance to' it to send out A quite a
detachment of cavalry to reconnoitre. . Some
say, also, that the advance guard of Colonel
Cruz is close at hand. • '
