We tare not to sacrifice the interests of. those Ikea sent Os here, but to eee whether we can unite Jthenf In a common dim to promote a national object.

Let the General Government make a railroad— from some suitable point on the Missouri river to California and fricgoa,throughthe territories of the I United States. Let it then aid the earns, by grants of public bandy, to make three dried branches, or extensions, to Chicago, Si. LOMB, and Memphis. Then all- will will be accommodated and all ought to be eatiefiedL. All the roads' now in progress from the Atlantic awl the - Golf of Mexico to the Mississippi and the lakes, will then be able to make good connections with thrgreat iron girdle of the American continent. - ,The interests of which lam one of the repre sentative-a, will-be admirably suited. Our Central Railroad of 35.5.mileti from Philadelphia to Pima. bedsit is progreesing rapidly to completion; and its extension westward, ISO miles in length, of whirh I am the Chief Engineer, is in part under coatmet. It extends from 'Pittsburgh, by Beaver, Sate= Croton, Monition, and Wooster, to a point a few I I miles beyond Mmrifield, in Ohio.

Ewing and Ow Union. h is every general remark, and oertainly a very tree one, that there has never been a time within any one's memory when the party press of this country was signalized by such excesnve Viru lence as marks the course of most of the Opposi tion journals at this time. Not satisfied with all sorts of political aSperaions they invade the:walks of private life and descend to personal defamation. They appear to regard the Administration of Gen. ern! TATUM, and every member of it, with a hatred the most Mum; and wage war against it with an acrimony as measure'ses mit is , aparalled. Conspicuous, if not chief, in this savage warfare, we are sorry to say is the “Union" of this cats: and we have reason to believe that many:even of its own party share oar regret to MC jLoccupy this "bad entineuee_ . Who would ezpeta to see the arrows of Nestor poisoned But 4it aar. An instance or this extreme tejartioe, prompted by party malignity, we feel it our duty le, notice. and in doing so could not forbear the genOla.l re. marks with which we have prefaced it. The Union has Ipr some cause or other singled OM the Sterdary of tie /sorrier, Mr. hi E wing, as the mark of its envenomed shafts, arid, ving as, sailed him for every species of political offence, ventured alone week. ago to arralgu 'him on charges of private corruption and pews:mai dishon or, in having, as it alleged, obtained a house, as his residence here, from a citizen of the innate of Douglas, a soredsman and horticulturist, at a very reducedreat, on condition or promise, or under standing, that he would glee Donelas thd place of Public Gardener, worth .151/1 51.200 or 51,11011 The Union does not ventuo charge that suh apromise was made by M n S.

When the story first appeared in the Union it was passed by in silence. The self respect of ev ery man, especially one occupying the elevated, and responsible position which Mr Eiring does, „would naturally recoil from the hut:idle of pleads tug to charges so base. Encouraged by intact:ice the Union has again recurred to the so ject with renewed ferocity and vituperation. We have, therefore, thought it due to truth, as well as to the good name of an able, disUngnished, and veteran public servant, worthy of every honest man's es. teem, to inquire into the facts of this mountain of fairebood, and now give them to our readers, to I whom we can undertake to pledge ourselves for their troth. lilt would occupy our +pai-e unnecessarily, and would exhaust the patience of oar readers, were we intake up all the points of all the articles of the Union on this subject, and expose them one by. one; for, we repeat, it does net charge a case of direct collusion between the Secretory and Doug. Ins, but endeavors to establish cortiquien by infer ence. Now, in what follows we shalt meet every tangible point by evidence of its aiso, and where, from the nature of the case, a negative cannot be proved, the allegation shall he met t y a positive denial In March last, when about to rent house, Mr. Ewing inquired of one of the Editor. Of this paper, if he knew of one suitable for the purpose. A few days afterwuds that individual recon mended a house on G street, oecupied by the lat Postmaster General, die-rent of which was $6OO. About that nine Douglas offered his house. It Immo . too large, he offered to rent: the main building, i without the wing, (which took off nine rooms) making it about esreal in accommodation to the house an' G street. Mr. E. liked its situation boner, trot it was inferior In this, that it had no stable or carriage house, and no grounds This Douglas offered fur $1,50. Mr. Ewing considered the rent of both berme. reasons able, end, on the whole, concluded to take the house of Mr. Douglass, on his agreeing to make certain improvements, which were necessary to its convenience as a residence, - During the negotia tion Douglass never In the slightest manner con nected an application for office with h s proposition to let the house. Nothing of the kind was solder . intimated; nor is it pretended even by the UniOn that there ever was, between Douglas and the .1. ei. Secretary. The rent which was agr don was the Gtr aloe of the property. It had be n some yearn befo e rented for $l5O, kept a few N nths, and re. due dto $6OO, including the. nine Doors in the win , the lessee at the end of the yeah surrendered thn wing, and kept the main buildinf about a year at 11400,.but gave it up. It had two s recessive ten. ants oflerwar,ds within a year, and was vacant when IDonglas offered it to Mr. Ewing. An addl. lion of 550 a year was the full valu of the ~, e d room in the main building, which w fitted up and I added for the ma of Mr. Ewing. Havre" closed the contract very, Mr. Ewing requested Deng!. to have please p pared, which he promised to do; arid, being much occupied with official business, Mr. E. gave no fu they attention to the matter, euept to inquire of . uglas if the lease was prepared. until he mo ed his family into the house. . While the Improvements agreed -upon were in progress Douglas several times spoke to the Seers . tare about the place of Public Gardener. Ile res plied te him kindly, but gave him i would encour thought age ment frther than to Bay that, 1 it was further to make a removal, e would give , Lis papers a fair comideration. Mr. E. thought welt of Douglas's knowledge of our native trees and .fkiwerr, and intended to coreider him with two other persons, who were also tecommended, and with one of whom Mr. E. conversed and was well pleased. Mt. Enever, directly or indirectly, authorised any one to speak to Douglas for him about the home, or about his applichtion for office; neither the ono nor the other. All 's,.hst m raid on , this 'abject by the Union is sheer fabrication.

It is not true that I carried a lease with me to be executed by Douglas, nor that I "threatened him. with pro ceedings in chancery, nor that I was obliged to come to his tenets, nor that he turned Mr. Ewing out of his house. I had advised Mr. Ewing, when he fine - consulted me, that unless the excution of the lease could be enforced in chancery, on the amend of the agreement, the part performance and the making repairs by him on the faith of the air:cement, the result would be that be would be in as tenant from year td year, and that Douglas mighthirld him to the year'. rent, and ohligatim to surrender, upon six months' notice, at the .cod of the year. I understood from Mr. Ewing that he was quite indifferent about keeping the house, but the other alternative would not suit Ina onvenice at aIL In my Interview with Mr. Donates I therefore presented to him at once the two propositions mentioned in the instructions, vM. that Mr. Ewing held himself bound to execute the lea., and was ready to do so, bet that, if Mr. Dairen, preferred -it, he would take a release from all demmda for rent, and surrender the house on the 6th • day of August, paying the rent op to thot _day, lass the amount of a bill of repairs made by Dr. Ewing, which I then exhibited. Mr. Douala.ss perempto.. rily refused to allow the repair. I bad no tune to 'ream in chaffering with him, and told him daily that be allowance of the repaint was a rafts qua non; and that I would settle the matter on no oth er terms. My recollection is distinct that Mr. Douglas inquired of me what Mr. Ewing could do, and that my reply was that he could proceed to set op the lease in. chancery; but it was no threat, nor anything like it. The Interview was an ordinary bunion. Interview, lasted only a taw minutes, and involved no altercation Whatever.— . Mr. Douglas came to my terms, admitted the re pair. I paid him the difference, (which Mr. Em. wing had provided for the event of out agreeing.) and took a written release from bunion which Douglas bound himself to accept the sprreader of . the house no the day mentioned in My obstruc tions. 1 believe I have stated all that passed, ex • apt that M r . Douglas, before I left him, engaged 'me as hi. counsel in a carom pending in our ICu,,,!,Court, which certainly did not indicatp that there had been any thersateninge on my part or indig nation upon his. i' I run, gentlemen, always your friendland Beryl.

ORIGIN OF FORKS AT TABLE The nee of fork's at table dill not prevail in England until the reign 01 James the First, as is stated in a remarifible passage of Co:Tat. Our readers will bmile at the solemn manner in which this Important in vention or innovation is related:— " Here .1 will mention a thing that might have been spoken of before in discourse of the first .Italian towne.. I observed a custom in all those cities and towns,: throdgb the which I passed, tnat is not used many other country that I saw in my travels, neither do I think that any other nation. in Chribtert- I dome doth use it, but only Italy. The [ha- I lian and also most sirangersAhat are oath monant in Italy, do always at their mettle use a Little Forke when the oat their mbate; for while with their knife w hich they hold in one hand, they care their meate out of the dish, they fasten the Forke which they hold in the other hand, upon the dish, so that whatsoever he be that gluing in the compa. ny of any others at Meale should advisedly touch the dish of meats with his fingers from 'which all the table do cut. he will give occasion of offence unto the company as having transgressed the lawes of good manners, in so much that for his Error' he shall be browbeaten, if not reprehended in wordee. This form of feeding, I understand, ,is generally used in all parts of Italy, their forks for the most.part being made or yrorm, steele, and some of silver, but those are used only by Gentlemen. The Reason of this their Curiosity is, because the Italian cannot by any means endure: lb have his dish touch• ed with fingers, seeing all men's fingers me not alike cleane. Hereupon I myself thought good to imitate the Italian Fashion by this forked cutting of meatefnot only while I was in Italy but also in Germany, and often times . in England since I came home; being once quibbed for that frequently using my "Forke, by a certain learned dentlenin, a familiar friend of mine, Mr. Lawrence Whitaker., who in his merry humor doubted not toMall me at table Ford for, only for using a Forke at feeding, but for no other cause' bll.atstes lavas Pau.—The astouishir4 de mand far this great medicine seems to be on the it has been introduced, It has attained a popularity unprecedented in the 11/111•11• of toddical practice.
