fit the completion of the reeiaiuder.
1 As soon as one cctiou of 2o miles is
toileted, the President is required to issue
bonds of the United States, bearing interest
it the rate of 0 per cent, to the amount of
twelve thousand five hundred dollars per
j.;if- but the aruouut so issued shall not cs
-tcd twenty-five inillions of dollars. There
Lre, before the contractors get any land or
aiciiey, they must construct and put in opera
tion 'lb miles of the road and another 25 miles
Ufure they receive any more, and so on with

wakh, they are required to deposit as securi-
'ty $500,QW m'Unitexi ctates htocfcs, which
site withdrawn pro rata as the'raal pro

Jd or money, he must spend over a million
of dollars in making a section of the road Hb
tiles loDg, and so with each section before
wxett. Thus there is no probability of

2. The money thus advanced by the bonds
d the government, and interest, is to be re
funded to the government in transportation,

ruuey it is to be a loan. And as to the larids

It is clainjcl that this is not a donation of

h 1 a Leavjr product for export. As
there is no navigation, all this would come
on the railroad. It is known that many por
tions of the country abound in minerals, which
would bo transported on the road.
All the treasure from tho Pacific would be
transported on the road to avoid insurance
and perils of the soa. The operations of the
roads in Mississippi, and along the Ohio, and
in the west generally, show that they are
much better adapted to the transportation of
heavy freight than was formerly believed
They are actually superseding river naviga
tion iu the transportation of til freights.
If there were a railroad to the Pacific, it
would carry nearly all the merchandize that
now goes round tho Horn The reason is
obvious. It would require much less capital
to do business, as the merchant could cwder
and receive his supplies in ten days by rail
read. It would, therefore, not be required
to keep such heavy stocks as at present. Now
he is compelled to pay 'interest on a six
months' voyage, which the railroad would ob
viate. It i3 also claimed that the silks and teas of
Ch ina would go on the railroad to avoid dam
ages in the tropics and the delays of a long
voyage. To avoid the sarao delay and loss
of capital, a large portion of the sperm oil
that is now carried by sea would be transpor
ted on the road. All the products of the vine
1 1 - " at 1

now uecominj: farce in L-alitornia ana i.ew
Mexico, would be transported ou the road.
The magnificent grapes, orauges, limes, tigs,
and olives of Los Angeles would be marketed
in New York aod the intermediate cities.
The agricultural products of the far West
would be poured into the lay of the East.
The housowife of the Atlantic cities would
see every morning upon her table bef atd
mutton from the great grama plains of the
nio uranue.
It is urged that an overland railroad would
control fcnd "throw into new channels the trade
of the East; which no nation has ever posses
sed without making rapid progress in com
merce and wealth. The tropics are unfriendly
to the transportation of the products of Chi
na. No isthmus route can ever compete
with a railroad from San Francisco or Paget
Sound to the Atlantic. .ueh a road is des
tined to control this trade. If it is not speed
ily commenced by our government on the
soil of the United States, it will be construc
ted ou English ground by the British govern
ment, With such a roau, and her present
foothold in the East, she would drive cur
ships from the Chinese ports and monopolize
the trade. And while ihe would have a rail
road to threaten and control our possessions
on the Pacific, we should have no adequte
means of succor or defence. This subject
will not brook further delay, in view of th3
urgent and mighty national interests which
hang on the Pacific railroad

The "nigger agitation" commenced, as
usual, iu Congress on the it day of the ses
sion, and bids fare to occupy mosi of the lime
of both IIousos during the winter. The reason
of this is, that at the present time about twC
thirds of the persons elected to our National
Legislature know Bethiug about any other sub
ject, and find their stock of kaowledge too
limited to pcak upon any other question.
They have been brought into political promi
nence solely by the " jigger question," and
by its influence have been elected to various,
publio offices, till finally they reach Congress.
Bv ibis time they have become so totally ab
sorbed ia "nisrpers" that they can think of
nethiug else, and look upon the slavery ques
tion as a sort of political alma mater, and re
gard it with the utmost respect and venera
tion as the fountain from wheece fhey have
derived all their political consequence. If
tho earth should open to-day and suddenly
swallow up all the darkies in tho universe,
Congress would present the aspect of a Qua
ker meeting for the remainder of the session.
What a consternation there would be among
these noisy polititious if their whole Etock in
trade should thus suddenly "drap" out of

' Earthquake at Bayonne
A letter from Bayonne of the 30th Ncvem-
irac li j-k V. . 1 1 . nAA....A. f . t
quake experienced there and in the neighbor
ing districts
"About half-past twelve yesterday after
noon some violent shocks of an earthquake
were felt at Bayonne, and lasted from eight
to ten seconds. The oscilations proceeded
from the southwest to the northeast. The
phenomenon was accompauied by a dead
souud, similar to that of a wagon passing over
a paved road. The weather, which had been
rainy for some days previously, was hot, and
the atmosphere lieavy at the moment. A
violent storm broke over the town at half
past three, but did not last long. The infor
mation received from various quarters re
specting the effects produced by the phenome
non, some of them rather serious and some
extraordinary, is too voluminous for publica
tion. The motion was less evident at Ba
yonne than at St. Esprit, where the popula
tion were greatly alarmed and where the
church bells began to ring during the shock.
At Bayonne, the kitchen utensils were tossed
about, snd it is said some ' chimneys were
seriously damaged. One of the ceilings cf
the Academy gave way, and cracks are risi
ble in the walls of that ancient building. At
the time the earthquake was felt, the animals
in the town exhibited symptoms of profound
terror. The oxen lowed, and the pavement
in several streets was displaced. On the
rampart of Lachepaillet the earth was twice
raised up and fell again with a violent noise ;
the neighboriDg'houses were not injured.
Notwithstanding the public buildings in
the town were shaken with violence no loss
of life remains to be deplored. The earth
quake was extremely violent both at Biarritz
and at Anglett, particularly in the low
grennds; doors were thut with a loud
noise, persons were thrown down, and num
bers fied from their houses, fearing to be
buried under the ruins. A herdsman, seeing
his oxen lifted up several times, sought safe
ty in flight Some laborers who were dining
under a tree, felt the ground under them
rise three times, and were dashed against
each other, as if by a violent wind. At that
time the weather was suffocating and the keTit
insupportable. The accounts received at
Bayonne from St. Palais and St. Sean Pied-de-Port,
stte that the shock experienced
mere lasted irom o t xv seconds. J.t tnroc-
quaiters past 12, a violent shock, accom- j
pauied by a noise resembling the sound of
distant thunder, caused a universal panic
amongst the population of St. Jean Pied de
Port assembled iu the market place. The
violence of the commotion was so great that
one chimney vras thrown down, as well as
the tilos from the roofs cf the bouses. The
most solid buildings crackled as if about to
fall, atid the furniture in the interior of the
houses was tossed about. During the oscilla
tions, a distinct noise was heard similar to
I that of a heavy ball falling down six steps of
a staircase, sup by step.
Interesting from Kansas.
Louis, Jan. 8 The Kansas
Leisla-
ture aajournea to Jjswrence, viti tne s
mc-
tion of the Govenor.
The Committee on Contested Seats report
in favor of Lewis. Graham. Allison and
Stevenson, in the Third Dtsiric, and Yoale,
from Marshall couoty, and the Secretary was
directed to administer th oath, which"hc re--fused,
Xvhea a Secretary, pro tern., was au-
thoiized to perform the act, which he did.
Mr Ilolliday, of Council, gave notice of a
bill, asking Congress to annex to Kansas all
that portion of Nebraska south of Platte
river.
Bills were introduced, in the IfoB.se, to
repeal the bogus statues, aud abolish slave
ry. The Govenor, in his message, regrets tha
growing disposition, in various parts of the
Union, to over-rate votes and corrupt the
balfot boxes. He says that "to the victors
belong -the spoils," but they are the spoils of"
patronage given to the power of public weal.
No one has any reason cr right to complain
of the successful party for distributing posts
of favor among their political friends. He
hints that Kansas may get mere libeal favors
from Congress as a territory, than a3& State.
The report cf the Commissioners appointed
to admit claims, shows the amount presented
to bo upwards of $201, 000' and the amount
awarded l54,0OO, of which $39,000, are of
the public class, and 3215.000, private.
The Controler reports the taxable property
of the Territory at 25,000,000; the number
of acres of land sold aud pre-empt ied is about
3,000,000.
The Govenor strorgly rrpreheuds the cou
duct of persons in Lian and Bourbon couuties,
He says he is prepared to unite with the As
sembly, in a moit cordial manner, for the
adoption, of such measures as shall restore or
der, and will bring to their aid all tho power
placed at his discretion by the Executive
Several papers in Southern Nebraska say
that puolic sentiment is almost unanimous in
favor cf the annexation of Kansas.

Scrofula, or King's Evil,
is a "constitutional disease, a corruption of the
blood, by whieh this fluid becomes vitiated,
'weak, and poor. Being in the circulation, it
pervades the whole body, a:id may burst out
in disease on any part cf it. No organ is free
from its attacks, nor is there one whieh it may
not destroy. The scrof ulou3 taint is variously
caused by mercurial disease, low living, dis
ordered or unhealthy food, impure air, lilth
and filthy habits, the depressing vices, and,
fcbove all, by the venereal infection. "What
ever be its origin, it is hereditary ia the con
ttitu jon, descending from parents to -children
unt ,the third and fourth generation ;" indeed,
it f jcais to be the rod of Him vlio says, I
wiii visit the iniquities of the fathers ujhju
their children."
Its effects commence by deposition from the
blood of corrupt cr ulcerous matter, which, in
the lungs, liver, and internal organs, is termed
tubercles; in the glands, swellings; and on
the surface, eruptions or sores. Thia foul cor
ruption, which genders in the blood, depresses
the energies of life, so that scrofulous constitu
tions not only suffer from scrofulous com
plaints, but they have far less power to with
stand the attacks of other diseases; conse
quently, vast numbers perish by disorders
which, although not scrofulous in their nature,
ere still rendered fatal by this taint in the
system. Most of the consumption which de
' cimates the human family has its origin directly
in this scrofulous contamination ; and many
destructive diseases of the liver, kidneys, brain,
and, indeed, of all the organs, arise from or
are aggravated by the same cause.
One quarter of all our people are scrofulous ;
their persons are invaded by this lurking in
fection, tnd their health is undermined by it.
To cleanse it from the svstem, we must renovate
the blood by an alterative medicine, and in
vigorate it by healthy food and exercise.
Such a medicine we supply ia

Compound Extract of Sarsaparilla,
the most effectual remedy which the medical
ekill of our times can devise for this every
"where prevailing and fatal rnaladv. It is com
bined from the most active remcdials that have
'been discovered for the expurgation of this foul
disorder from the blood, and the rescue of the
system from its destructive consequences.
Hence it should be employed for the cure of
not only scrofula, but also those other affec
tions which arise from it, cuch as Eevptive

eases, DaopsY, Dyspepsia, Deiulitt, and,
indeed, all Complaints arising from Yitia
ted or Impure Blood. The popular belief
ia ' impurity of the blood " is founded in truth,
for scrofula is a degeneration of the bleed. The
particular purpose and virtue of this Sarsapa
rilla is to purify and regenerate this vital fluid,
without whieh sound health is iinpos&ible in
contaminated conatitutions.

The Liver is one of the principal regulators of
