To pay iheir worship there ;

Cut we will rear, with honest toil,
From inland to the coast.

With all the noise of baitle-roar
Has died away their fame ;
But ask, O sons whose fathers bled !

Their shades with majesty are led
To where the School House stands.

The shrine where Freemen bend.

And while onr rivers flow along,
And hills adorn the land.

Crashing Argument against the Fa
clcc Railroad.
Tho rhilsdn. Ltdg.-r recently brought
to light a difficulty hitherto nnthought of,
eounectcd with trateling, or any attempt
to travel, by railroad, across the vast plains
and manntaius intervening between us and '
the Pacific ocean. It is known that im
mense herd of buffalo range over the re
gions to ba traversed by the projected road.
The fact that these animals are very short
sighted both in physical aud iutellectual
vision, and that when alarmed or enraged
they rush together with trenrendous force,
and bear down all obstruction in their
course, Batisfiee the Lt'hjer that the idea
of traveling safely through their domain
by railroad cars would be a terrible mii
take. The St. Louii Jla-ahl takes off well
the profound deductions of the LeJyrul
to show the ae with which a mob of ex
asperated buffalo bulls could overturn a
railway train and scatter it in a twinkling,
he gives the following mathematical calcu
lation :
"A ball buffalo will weigh 1000 pounds ;
and will rush on a train at the rate of 15
feet a second. Supposing a car to be fifty
feet long, and the assault upon it to be
made at rigLt angles, about fifteen buffalos
would reach it at the same instant. Fif
teen buffalo! would weigh 15,000 pounds.

iog as it generally does, a vast amount of
excitement, we cannot believe will ever
seriously endanger the permanency of the
Union. Whatever a few fanatics north or
south may say however flippantly they
may talk when tbeir blood is up, and their
reason impaired by passion, the body of
tho people in every section are sensible,
sound and patriotic, and will stand by the
Union as the ark of their safety.
The Nebraska bill, now before Congress,
will undoubtedly open again the slavery
question, it win dc aiscussea in congress,
in the press, and in public meetings of tbe
people. We may look for excitement it
CMJ not bs separated from the question in
the nature of things it belongs to it, and
it will come. But the Union will be in
no danger. Whatever may be the result
of the discussion in Congress whether the
Nebraska bill pass or fail there will be
no attempt at secession or disunion. The
very idea that any domestic question can
endanger the Union should be for ever re
pudiated. Such a sentiment should not
be uttered by any true patriot. No! When
centuries shall have rolled by, when the
last trump shall sound, our hope and belief
is that not only this Union will exist as it
is, but other nations, imbibing our princi
ples and adopting our theory of govern
ment stand, ready to obey tbe snnimons,
" With fmdtun'l anil banaath their kwt.

The snow-storm in England uf the ad,

the Morning Chronicle says : I
" It is currently stated that any longer

of a failure in the supply of gas for the

below London bridge is now such that the
colliers in the Pool can not discharge their
