Our acknowledgments are due to Mr. Paul II, Ilayno lor a copy of his "Sonnets and other Poems," through the courtesy of the juuior editor m the Exprtu Mr. llayne is associated with YVm. B. Carlisle lieq., in the editorship of Russell's Magazine, nn«i me poiwn nna vigorous uiongiit ot those sonnets nugar favorably of tlie department of the magazine over which it will be his province to. preside. tub weather. For a period of two or three weeks we have b en blessed with bright bill my spring weather. On tho lost night of February, however, a change occurred, and the approach of March was heralded by cold boisterous blasts from the frozen north, admonishing early gardeners that winter had not loosed his icy grasp upon young and blooming spring. On Sunday and Monday mornings ice whs plentiful, with n heavy frost on Tuesday. Wc fear this sudden change from summer to winter has injured the fruit trees, many of whose blooms hod expanded their petal* under the genial influence el the latter weeks of February. Perhaps, however, ^ less damage has been sustained than our fears lead us to suppose. The following range of the thermometer will afford a better idea ol the weather than our words: Sunrise.

The usual monotony o( our quiet village was invaded hist Wednesday by Miss Emerson-on Eaucrn or Northern importation.the only specimen of the genus strong minded women we have seen for years. She drove her own horse, harnessed, unharnessed, fed and watered him, and done other acts equally unnecessary and masculine, as "mine host" of the Walker House very well knows.even to the putting away of 'inside matter' sufficient to satiate three specimens of the genus homo for nn o: dinary meal. She trudged through tho mud caused by a shower on Wednesday posting her hills, and did other things to make In r preseno felt and known.including n brief visit to our sanctum. At night she lee- tared.if her jurnble could be called a lecture.at the old Ilnptisl Church, and stopped just when the audience (among whom was not a single female. not even a curious wcnch) thought she was beginning her subject. A second night's attempt to show off utterly fail«-d, nud before our people were astir noxt morning, lie was over the hills and far awn)*. Thus ended iho first appearance of a strong-minded woman in Spartanburg. TUB FBMnVcOLLEflB. We are pleased to learn from the worthy Treei"deiit of the iiistitntion that the Spartanburg Female College has commenced the Spring Term with ninety undergraduates.and before a fortnight the number will be swelled to one hundred. This is certainly very cheering to the friend* of the e >ii« gc, anJ offers a strong incentive to redoubled ez^rdon on the part of the faculty. ~ Wo are pleased to know that Rev. Mr. Crenm* *ha*Y, the new professor, is at hi* post, and has already made himself a decided favorite with the young ladies. During the vacatiou n large Dining liall, with Additional recitation rooms, have been erected, giving greater facilities and comfort to attendauoe upon college duties, and greatly aiding the faculty in their several departments. Altogether, the institution starts under auspice* highly fl ittering to a long and brilliant career of uscluluess and honor. INSPECTION OF RIFLES. This new and handsome uniformed company, Capt. G. W. II. Legg, was inspected last Friday by Brigade Inspector J. II. Evins, on whom the task had been devolved by Adjutant and Inspector General Duuovant. The company formed At their rendezvous.the Bontar House.and marched to tiic mall near Major Kirby's, where the inspection t ok place. The ranks were well filled, and an inspection of the roll showed sixty-five members as belonging to the corps. We l.-nrn that the Inspecting ofliccr was hghly pleased with tlio beautiful uniform, and will report favorably to his superior. The cap is the army pattern, of gray cloth and white fountain plume. The coat aud pan'.s, gray cadet cloth, with green velvet trimming and palmotto buttons. The whole is neat, showy and substantial, and Spartanburg may well be proud of this body of citizen soldiery. The company will probably be fully equipped in time for the first battaliun ;nu-»ter of the spring. HILSTARY" ELKCTION. On the 27th ultimo an election was held within the limits of the North Battalion of the 9th Regiment of Cuvalry for Major. The following was the vote, lis reported to u»: II. F. McDowell 29 T. S. Means 28 Majority for McDowell I A Mxai rfcn Couri.issKNT..-The following com pi ment to Mr. W. B. Carlisle, one of the editors <>f the Charleston Courier, nnd formerly ol Hie Coluinbin Telegraph, is paid by Mr. Baldwin, of Richmond, who recently visited Charleston to lecture before the Young Men's Christian Association: "Mr. Carlisle is a yonng gentleman of blight promise, ol very highly cultivated mind, and one of the finest specimens of n high-souled and wholesouled Carolina gentleman I have ever seen. lie graduated with great distinction at tho South Carolina College in Columbia, and has applied his fine powers nnd acquirements with unflagging energy to his honorable vocation. It requires no prophet to predict for such a inan a brilliant and useful future. It is no matter of surprise that the journalists of South Carolina occupy so high a place in the respect nnd confidence of that community, when we find its ranks filled hy men so eminently calculated fo guide and enlighten public opinion." 1Iom.Jamf.sL. Oaa.. We find tho following paragraph in tho news column of the Carolina Tunes of Monday: '"Hon James L. Orr, ol this State, Is rcry g< iterally spoken of as tho proper H|K-akcr of the House in the next Congress. To him nnd lion. J. Clancy Jones, of Pa., who refused a cabinet appointment, in accordance with It previous understanding, is delegated the office of leading the AdministrnI.on party in tho next House." J.

Legg and lire freeholders on Saturday lost, for burglary, in breaking into the »loro-of Messrs. Lec & Briggs, on the 18th ult.,and taking moucy llierelrom. After hearing evideneo and apecchee from counsel, the jury rendered a verdict of guilty as accessory before the fact, and sentenced him to one hundred and fifty lashes in weekly inflictions of fifty, nnd imprisonment until the 16th inst. After the fulfilment of » this pirt of the sentence,his owner,or whoever may , then have control of the negro, is privileged to reI move him from the State. Should this not be done, he is then to be re imprisoned, nnd subjected to 1,000 lushes, nt certain stated periods and in specified instalments. We understand Mint an appeal has been taken to ^ a Judge nt Chambers, on exceptions. The case was to be heard nt Union, before Judge Whitner, we believe, on Wednesday night. ' John, the property of Mrs. M. A. Kennedy, who was inculpated in the burglary, was also placed upon trial before the same magistrate and another jury. ' After hearing evidenae and dt fence by counsel, the jury returned a verdict of not guilty. Andrew, the property of K. W. Parker, was also tried for being concerned, but the evidence wan such as to require a verdict of acquittal. The misconduct of many negroes in our midst calls loudly for remedy. Gambling and drinking are becoming fearfully common. These things can be practised with much facility in the absence of efficient patrolling. If this necessary duty cannot be more faithfully performed, we think it behoves Council to make provision for paid marshals, who should be abroad at nil hours, in conjunction with such patrol assistants as circumstances may compel to render service. While on this subject, we may say generally, that our negro population manifest rapid improvement in unbecoming conduct. We instance the flourishing of canes and open smoking in the streets. Indeed, we have seen the deadly rifle in the hnmlii of blinks In lltn IYnsl»-'u-» anrl an nnaH. ness exhibited in its use that would not hishonnrthe famous Kentucky marksman. There is much that is wrong in this, nnd the Attention of those who hold the remedy should be turned to the matter. Chester has suffered from the absence of disciplinary regulations, and from necessity has recently enacted nn ordinance of restraint. The following provision worthy the attention of our Council, and, if they lutvc the power, we hope to see it made ct force: "That any slave or free peraon of o lor who shall be found drunk or shall otherwise misbehave, by acting ins noisy or boistrous manner,or by singing an indecent song or holloning within the limits of the said town, shall for rnch and every offence receive not exceeding one hundred lashes, and any slave or free person of color who shall smoke a cigar in any street or in nnv open and public place in the town, or shall walk with n oane, club or stick, (except the Inmc, infirm or blind,; shall for each and every offence leocivcnot exceeding twenty lashes." THE AIR-LINR RAILROAD. At the kite session of the South Carolina legislature a charter was granted for the right of way through this State of "The Georgia Air-Line Railroad Company." J. P. Keed, Ksq., in a letter on the subject, furnishes the following facts as to its route ntid privileges: "A charter has been granted by this State, con ferring ample powers upon the company, to construct their road from the Georgia State line to the town of Anderson, nnd (ruin thence, in any direction nnd to any point, they may deem expedient through the territory of this State, so as to form a direct central line of communication between the great Northern and Southern cities of the Union. I have said that the powers by tlie charter in this State are Ample, and I may indeed add, that they are very nearly plenary. Unlike most other Railroad charters heretofore ganted by our Legislature, it is not encumbered with mere matins of detail, which are properly left to the company,nnd embraces in n concise nod simple form such provisions only as it is really necessary to provide by statute. i op nmouni 01 mop* necessary Jo secure I lie charter, the time within which it shnll bo subscribed, and tlio period when the work shall la* commenced nod completed, nre nli matters left to the decision ol the company, and in fact the only limitation ns to time, imposed upon the coui|>nny, is that their charter insure to them for the |H-rio<i of only one hundred and ninety years, which is quite ns near perpetual, I suppose, as any friend of the enterprise could desire. The right of the company to locate the route of their road through the State of South Carolina is quite ns ample. The only point definitely fists! in the cha'ter is the town of Anderson, frutn whence they nro permitted to cunstiurt u road to any point, in their discretion, in the direction of Charlotte, North Cnrobnn, or otherwise, if they should so elect, a connecting l>uk between the Greenville and Charlotte Railroads from the town of Newberry to the town of Chester. Thus you will see tlivy have the entire upper part of the Stale of S mill Carolina over which to select the route of their Road. Rut 1 apprehend that a natural anxiety for the early completion of thegrrit Northern and Southern thoroughfare in cnmleinplatiou, and a due regard to economy of construction, will suggest the propriety of adopti. g the Infer alternative, by connecting the Greenville and Charlotte Roads from Newberry to Chester. If this shou * be the conclusion of the company, they will have to construct not exceeding one hundred and seventy milea of road, to perfect a connection be tween Atlanta and Charlotte, North Carolina; estimating the distance trom Atlanta to Anderson at one hundred and twenty-five miles, and from Newberry to Chester at forty-five miles, which I feel as burcd nre extreme figures. The distance from Anderson to Newberry by tlie road now in operation is seventy-five miles, and from Chester to ClinrlottO fifty miles; so that yon will perceive the emiro dmta- ce from Atlanta to Charlotte by this route does not exceed two hundred and ninety five miles. The distance between tho.se points by the several Railroads now in operation is about four hundred and sixteen miles, which makes a difference of one hundred and twenty-one miles in favor of the proposed ronto for the Air lane Road. I do not know the precise length of other competing routes, hut I feel assured ili.it the Air I/no Komi, constructed I upon tlie route suggested, will be n.>t lo«* thin one hundred miles shorter, between Washington and New Orleans, than nny other either constructed or in coiitctnpliition. It 1 nin correct in this opinion, tho immediate construction of the 'Air-I/ne Road' is nn object that must induce the Co-operation of the capitalist both North and South." From Kansas. . \ difficulty occurred in Kansas recently, resulting in the death of a Mr. Slierrod. Tho following despatch explains the transaction: Sr. Loins, Feb. 23..The Jefferson City correspondent of the St. l»nis Democrat barns that p is sengcisfrom Kansas give accounts of n difficulty between Gov. (Jenry and Mr. Sherrod, growing out of the refusal of the former to appoint the latter Sheriff, as desired by the legislature, tvhich haJ n fatal termination. Sherrod avowed his purpose of killing Gov Geary, lie met th» Governor in the street and spit in his face, which the Governor did n?t resent, but his friends got up nn indignation meeting on the 19th instant. Slioriff Jones, Slierrod and others, attemph d to interrupt the meeting, and in nn nffiiny, Shcrr»>d sliot Mr. Sh< ppard, one of Gov. Geary's friends, four times, ami wounded two others, and Gov.

Reaolrrdi ,That Orsainus B. Mattoson, a member of this House for the State of Ncw York, be, and « is hereby, expelled therefrom. The committee also report a bill to protect tlie cai people against corrupt and secret influence in ma:- hai ters of legislation. The New York correspondent of the Charleston .iK Courier, in n late letter, says: (o ( "One of the members of Cong' ess from this State, < whom the Committee reported ought to b«* expelled, <fr publicly boasted in Albany, some time since, that lie maac one hundred thousand dollars in Washington during the first session of the present Con- ,j,c grow." un< Tl»o Washington correspondent of the Chnrlts- tra ton News remarks as follows upon the claims of the j?01 Committee to the thanks of the country, nnd we j are glad to find our iinmedinte Representative oc- js t copying so high and honorable n position in drag- ' ging these disgraoeful trniv.actions to the light: "The public owe a debt of gratitude to Gil. Orr ^ of your State, Judge Warner of Georgia, Messrs. Davis of Maryland and Ritchie of Pennsylvania, for j(.( having done so much to bring to its view the men wlio have really corrupted the roiirc<-s from whence our laws originate. As for William If. ^ Kelsey, of New York, the Chairman of the Committee, upon whoso instance the invtsligation wm. instituted, he has enveloped himself in a ^ cloud of surmise, which lias been brought about by bit own conduct, nnd which, whether just «t jV unjust, has caused a whispering about hitn to be ^ indulged in not at all creditable to him. He was tlio man who nro*e iu his place, terribly excited, about what he Conceived to be an imputation upon "* the charneter of the House nnd iill'.-i-wl « lotion * upon which ihc Committee was raised, lie np- j'('| |wnred to cordially co-operate with committee; but when the lime came to test his nerve upon rojM.rt- j intc resolutions to expel the corrupted, he showed ^V' the cow leather, nnd withheld his assent to repot ts to j which no sane and honest man could reasonably j ^ demur. Therefore, whenever any credit is attached to this Committee for the good work it has done, let William II. Kclsey he expected, ntid let Messrs.

The following report of IIousi-procee lines !l" on the 27th reveals the plan l»y which they were enabled to escape expulsion: ,.ri Mr. fiilbert. in his spi-ech of defence, denied the tin truth of the charges ng >inst hint, and denounced soi the attempt of the House to fix a stigma oil his cit character as unprecedented, He charged the House en wiih gross injustice towards him, and concluded by w.i stating that he had resigned his seat, which lie did, T! and immediately left. The House was taken by coi surprise. Resolutions in his ense were tabled by cu 135 against 08. A letter was submitted from Mr. N< Mattcson setting forth that as iio trial was allowed tin to Mr. fiilbert, lie (Mr. M.) had no right to ex|>cct tni a large measure of justice, and had reigned Ins no sent. The first resolution was adopted by 145 bit against 17 ; the second ndopted, nnd the third ta- ey bh-d. | sin Mr. Davis called up Mr. Welch's esse. | tal Win a the House exculpated Mr. Welch from ,n the cliargi s alleged against liirn by the Corruption Committee. 0r Til* New Mexican Treat*..Mr. Forsyth has concluded a highly important treaty with Mexi- an co. Of course its provisions are as yet only guessed at. The Black Republican journals arc filled with alarm lest it contain features of acquis tion. The c<' Washington Fro, commenting on tlic following rx- ^ci tract from the New York Herald in reference to j it, concludes it preposterous to suppose tli.it our go- J fcrnm-ni would loan Me*.c > sixteen millions on lr> ]rss tangible security tli.an another ' «Iioo'' u! the hei rich domain or our neighbor. We think it very 'hi probable, fiotn the secrecy and anxiety to get the ha treaty to Washington before the adjournment of' ar< Congress, and ilie ratifications returned to Mexico I'1 before its provisions transpire tbero and ovci throw ®oi the government "f Comonfort TliO following is al what the Herald says of the objeets of the treaty: *°l "A treaty was signed last night between the . United States and Mexico, by which the United tra States are to loan Mexico J.10,000,1100, receiving g0 us security fi fteen per cent, of the customs; and some arrangement for more uniestricled commercial intercourse is to he made, as a further eon- , si deration. Of this sum, $.1,000,000 poee to pay ' " American claims; and, at the same time, a postal J,n' treaty poes into operation. With this money the slu (iovermnent can strengthen itself, nnd will be rn>- of< boldenod at once to carry out tlie great reforms of ^ tlie day, take ciiurcb property, &c." ° Tlio Washington correspondent of llio Baltimore " Sun, "I«n,M says lie learns that in addition to Sonora, tlie treaty embiacts a cession to (lie United States of the greater part, If not tlie whole, of Ixiwrr California.

Ti [| WW my pleasure to visit this pUoe, celebrated The the establishment of a school for the deaf, dumb beer 1 blind, under the cure and control of Ror. N. learn Walker,on last Sunday. The imprca-ions made his i my mind while witnessing the ordinary proces- felt i employed for imparling instruction to this un- T tuualo class were never so profound nnd grave in a on this occasion. Heretofore I have been in- rien< evted, deeply interested, in the practical w rk- "I ^ of Mr. Walker's plan to educate the mind of U,M^ deaf and dumb.in noticing the facility with licli they learned their studies, nnd the thorough- afu.r s of their strict mental training.

But to sec those who talk not, whose cars intci i deaf to the sweet melodies of nature, whose eyes one ! closed to the beauties of the visible handiwoik wj)0 the great God, imbibing notions of their great of n cator, of his goodness to the most unfortunate of nnd eroatnrcs, in a thousand different ways, is a sight II calculated to interest and soften the mind and u irt of the most obdurate Gallio. Not only did of M ?y recite well.answer promptly the qttos Jons of f®*° rir catechisms,.but they exhibited an interest in subject of contemplation of such intensity, as to |y n! iionstrate that there was a harmony nnd corrcs- in 1 idence between bible truth nnd the moral facul- 'nR i which are eternal. A.t the elosu of the lessons the several classes Mr. Walker, in the sign-Ian- vo]u age, gave a moral lecture, iu which he impressed coui i truths to which their attention had In-eii direct- "j Example, illustration, nnd every mode of pre- .(I nation, to convey to their minds great moral men ths, were u«cd. To sco them, on the Sabbath ten rning, thus conducted into the "green pastures the bible and by its still waters," by their faithteacher, is sufficient proof of tho wisdom of that kille ite |Kiliey which has been adopted to eduoate ftK:" so unfortunate creature*. Such n tra ning, ,n' ' ntal nnd moral, as Mr. Walker is giving them, not v y prepares them for the praoticnl duties of life. till I more extended sphereji of usefulness.but enti- saile him to a high rank on a philanthropist. Ilis j. ,n rotion to the cause of education, his uncommon fttje I active interest in this school for the deaf anil "! tnb, his indefatigable exertions to build it up, nud vc" success which has nltctided his patriotic efforts, to been themes for many a warm nnd discr>miive nud just nnd appropriate editorial and com- . ^ , ., , , of ll imcaiion in your columns before.

TUB FBMnVcOLLEflB.We are pleased to learn from the worthy Treei"deiitof the iiistitntion that the Spartanburg Female

College has commenced the Spring Term withninety undergraduates.and before a fortnight thenumber will be swelled to one hundred. This iscertainly very cheering to the friend* of the e >ii« gc,anJ offers a strong incentive to redoubled ez^rdonon the part of the faculty.~Wo are pleased to know that Rev. Mr. Crenm**ha*Y, the new professor, is at hi* post, and has alreadymade himself a decided favorite with theyoung ladies.

During the vacatiou n large Dining liall, withAdditional recitation rooms, have been erected, givinggreater facilities and comfort to attendauoe uponcollege duties, and greatly aiding the faculty in theirseveral departments.

Altogether, the institution starts under auspice*highly fl ittering to a long and brilliant career ofuscluluess and honor.

INSPECTION OF RIFLES.This new and handsome uniformed company,

Capt. G. W. II. Legg, was inspected last Fridayby Brigade Inspector J. II. Evins, on whom thetask had been devolved by Adjutant and InspectorGeneral Duuovant. The company formed At theirrendezvous.the Bontar House.and marched totiic mall near Major Kirby's, where the inspectiont ok place. The ranks were well filled, and an inspectionof the roll showed sixty-five members as

belonging to the corps. We l.-nrn that the Inspectingofliccr was hghly pleased with tlio beautifuluniform, and will report favorably to his superior.The cap is the army pattern, of gray cloth and

white fountain plume. The coat aud pan'.s, graycadet cloth, with green velvet trimming and palmottobuttons. The whole is neat, showy and substantial,and Spartanburg may well be proud of thisbody of citizen soldiery. The company will probablybe fully equipped in time for the first battaliun;nu-»ter of the spring.

NEGRO TRIALS.U"mp, the property of Win. Lockwot^, wu

tried before Magistrate G. W. II. Legg and lirefreeholders on Saturday lost, for burglary, in breakinginto the »loro-of Messrs. Lec & Briggs, on the18th ult.,and taking moucy llierelrom. After hearingevideneo and apecchee from counsel, the juryrendered a verdict of guilty as accessory before thefact, and sentenced him to one hundred and fiftylashes in weekly inflictions of fifty, nnd imprisonmentuntil the 16th inst. After the fulfilment of

» this pirt of the sentence,his owner,or whoever may, then have control of the negro, is privileged to reImove him from the State. Should this not be done,

he is then to be re imprisoned, nnd subjected to

1,000 lushes, nt certain stated periods and in specifiedinstalments.We understand Mint an appeal has been taken to

^a Judge nt Chambers, on exceptions. The casewas to be heard nt Union, before Judge Whitner,we believe, on Wednesday night.

' John, the property of Mrs. M. A. Kennedy, whowas inculpated in the burglary, was also placed upontrial before the same magistrate and another jury.' After hearing evidenae and dt fence by counsel,the jury returned a verdict of not guilty.Andrew, the property of K. W. Parker, was

also tried for being concerned, but the evidencewan such as to require a verdict of acquittal.The misconduct of many negroes in our midst

calls loudly for remedy. Gambling and drinkingare becoming fearfully common. These things canbe practised with much facility in the absence ofefficient patrolling. If this necessary duty cannotbe more faithfully performed, we think it behovesCouncil to make provision for paid marshals, whoshould be abroad at nil hours, in conjunction withsuch patrol assistants as circumstances may compelto render service.

While on this subject, we may say generally,that our negro population manifest rapid improvementin unbecoming conduct. We instance theflourishing of canes and open smoking in thestreets. Indeed, we have seen the deadly rifle inthe hnmlii of blinks In lltn IYnsl»-'u-» anrl an nnaH.

ness exhibited in its use that would not hishonnrthefamous Kentucky marksman. There is much thatis wrong in this, nnd the Attention of those who holdthe remedy should be turned to the matter.

Chester has suffered from the absence of disciplinaryregulations, and from necessity has recentlyenacted nn ordinance of restraint. The followingprovision i« worthy the attention of our Council,and, if they lutvc the power, we hope to see it madect force:

"That any slave or free peraon of o lor who shallbe found drunk or shall otherwise misbehave, byacting ins noisy or boistrous manner,or by singingan indecent song or holloning within the limits ofthe said town, shall for rnch and every offence receivenot exceeding one hundred lashes, and anyslave or free person of color who shall smoke a cigarin any street or in nnv open and public placein the town, or shall walk with n oane, club orstick, (except the Inmc, infirm or blind,; shall foreach and every offence leocivcnot exceeding twentylashes."

THE AIR-LINR RAILROAD.At the kite session of the South Carolina legislaturea charter was granted for the right of way

through this State of "The Georgia Air-Line RailroadCompany." J. P. Keed, Ksq., in a letter onthe subject, furnishes the following facts as to itsroute ntid privileges:"A charter has been granted by this State, con

ferring ample powers upon the company, to constructtheir road from the Georgia State line tothe town of Anderson, nnd (ruin thence, in any directionnnd to any point, they may deem expedientthrough the territory of this State, so as to form adirect central line of communication between thegreat Northern and Southern cities of the Union.I have said that the powers by tlie charter in thisState are Ample, and I may indeed add, that theyare very nearly plenary. Unlike most other Railroadcharters heretofore ganted by our Legislature,it is not encumbered with mere matins of detail,which are properly left to the company,nnd embracesin n concise nod simple form such provisionsonly as it is really necessary to provide by statute.i op nmouni 01 mop* necessary Jo secure I lie charter,the time within which it shnll bo subscribed, andtlio period when the work shall la* commenced nodcompleted, nre nli matters left to the decision ol thecompany, and in fact the only limitation ns to time,imposed upon the coui|>nny, is that their charterinsure to them for the |H-rio<i of only one hundredand ninety years, which is quite ns near perpetual,I suppose, as any friend of the enterprise could desire.The right of the company to locate the routeof their road through the State of South Carolinais quite ns ample. The only point definitely fists!in the cha'ter is the town of Anderson, frutnwhence they nro permitted to cunstiurt u road toany point, in their discretion, in the direction ofCharlotte, North Cnrobnn, or otherwise, if theyshould so elect, a connecting l>uk between theGreenville and Charlotte Railroads from the townof Newberry to the town of Chester. Thus youwill see tlivy have the entire upper part of theStale of S mill Carolina over which to select theroute of their Road. Rut 1 apprehend that a naturalanxiety for the early completion of thegrritNorthern and Southern thoroughfare in cnmleinplatiou,and a due regard to economy of construction,will suggest the propriety of adopti. g the Infer alternative,by connecting the Greenville and CharlotteRoads from Newberry to Chester. If thisshou * be the conclusion of the company, they willhave to construct not exceeding one hundred andseventy milea of road, to perfect a connection between Atlanta and Charlotte, North Carolina; estimatingthe distance trom Atlanta to Anderson atone hundred and twenty-five miles, and from Newberryto Chester at forty-five miles, which I feel asburcd nre extreme figures. The distance from Andersonto Newberry by tlie road now in operationis seventy-five miles, and from Chester to ClinrlottOfifty miles; so that yon will perceive the emiro dmta-ce from Atlanta to Charlotte by this route doesnot exceed two hundred and ninety five miles. Thedistance between tho.se points by the several Railroadsnow in operation is about four hundred andsixteen miles, which makes a difference of one hundredand twenty-one miles in favor of the proposedronto for the Air lane Road. I do not knowthe precise length of other competing routes, hut Ifeel assured ili.it the Air I/no Komi, constructed

I upon tlie route suggested, will be n.>t lo«* thin onehundred miles shorter, between Washington andNew Orleans, than nny other either constructed orin coiitctnpliition. It 1 nin correct in this opinion,tho immediate construction of the 'Air-I/ne Road'is nn object that must induce the Co-operation ofthe capitalist both North and South."

Mr. fiilbert. in his spi-ech of defence, denied the tintruth of the charges ng >inst hint, and denounced soithe attempt of the House to fix a stigma oil his citcharacter as unprecedented, He charged the House enwiih gross injustice towards him, and concluded by w.istating that he had resigned his seat, which lie did, T!and immediately left. The House was taken by coisurprise. Resolutions in his ense were tabled by cu135 against 08.

Til* New Mexican Treat*..Mr. Forsythhas concluded a highly important treaty with Mexi- anco. Of course its provisions are as yet only guessedat. The Black Republican journals arc filled withalarm lest it contain features of acquis tion. The c<'Washington Fro, commenting on tlic following rx- ^citract from the New York Herald in reference to

j it, concludes it preposterous to suppose tli.it our go- Jfcrnm-ni would loan Me*.c > sixteen millions on lr>

]rss tangible security tli.an another ' «Iioo'' u! the heirich domain or our neighbor. We think it very 'hiprobable, fiotn the secrecy and anxiety to get the hatreaty to Washington before the adjournment of' ar<

Congress, and ilie ratifications returned to Mexico I'1before its provisions transpire tbero and ovci throw ®oi

the government "f Comonfort TliO following is al

what the Herald says of the objeets of the treaty: *°l

"A treaty was signed last night between the .United States and Mexico, by which the United traStates are to loan Mexico J.10,000,1100, receiving g0us security fi fteen per cent, of the customs; andsome arrangement for more uniestricled commercialintercourse is to he made, as a further eon- ,sideration. Of this sum, $.1,000,000 poee to pay

' "

American claims; and, at the same time, a postal J,n'

treaty poes into operation. With this money the slu(iovermnent can strengthen itself, nnd will be rn>- of<boldenod at once to carry out tlie great reforms of ^tlie day, take ciiurcb property, &c." °
