AMERICAN TELEGRAPH WASUIBTOTOMI MONDAY AFTERNOON, SEPT. 22. Kxchamj* Pamuw.?We cuutiuuu to raoeW* bjr every mail uevniMtfwr* containing our little uaril " To tlie Pub lic," aud aakiug an exchange. Our offur lu tbat ban been lung muoe rovoked. tf Baltimore kud Waihlugiou Ilallroad.? it eduction of Fare. We are gratified at perceiving that the articles we published on this subject, ou Saturday last, have been generally read, and are well-approved iu this city. We have ou hand several other communications, including a very minute re view of the history of this coiupuuy; but as u spirit of severe censure is evinced by the writer, ?we deem it but just to withhold it .for the pre sent. It is not common for companies to go iu advance of the public demands iu these matters, and, us no very general expression has been heretofore given to such demands, wo do noi think the subject should be approached in this spirit. Let facts and their just inferences be first presented, und we doubt not such reduction will be made as will prove proper and salutary. The fare to Baltimore from Washington, forty miles, is $1.80, or four and a half cents per mile. From Baltimore to Cumberland, one hundred and seventy-eight miles, it is $7.00, or a little less than four cents per mile. But on the first of October, the tare to Cumberland is to be reduced to $0, or not quite two und four fifths cents per mile! This is a wide difference between the prices of travel upon the two routes. What is the reuson of it? The revenue in the mouth of August, we learn, was: For I'oHAengerit. For Freight. Main stem .... $33,417 61 $69,264 80 Waahiugton branch - ? '20,'2ri8 67 U.906 T, $53,080 08 $73,100 07 Making an aggregate of .$202,672.31 on the main stem, and $24,178.84 on the Washington branch?the total being $126,846.15. It is thus seen that on both roads the amount re ceived for passengers is equal to about forty one per cent, of tho whole receipts; and for freight, fifty-nine per cent. The maiu stem receives for freight more than twice as much as it dooB for passengers, while the Washington brunch receives for passengers more thuu five times us much as for freight. It will thus bo perceived that the chief business of the main stem to Cumberland is the car riage of freight, and of the Washington braucli the carriage of passengers. Yet, in the face of these facts, the company forgoes the chances of increased travel by means of reduced rates, on the Washington branch, and withholds from the public tho accommodations they have a right to expect from it. The business of carrying passengers is by far the moBt profitable ; and while a passenger with fifty pounds of baggage, say averaging two hundred pounds,'pays $1.80 to Baltimore, this amount of money will pay for the transporta tion of fifteen and a half hundred-weight of freight?equal to eight passengers! This disparity is very great; and while the high price charged for passage is oppressive upon the public, it is, in our opinion, impolitic on the part of the company. We entertain a very strong conviction that at the usual and fair price of three cents per mile, or $1.20 for the trip, as much or more money would be re ceived as at present; and tbat tickets to go and return witliin a specified time, say forty-eight hours, for $2.00, would materially enhance the profits of the road. Such accommodations would promote the in tercourse between the people of the two cities in a progressive ratio, while they would sccure to the company their good-will and encourage ment To continue the present high charges, and evince a disregard for the public convenience, may for a time be done with impunity; but a | day of reckoning comes to all of us, aud it not ' unfrequcntly huppens that a chartered company j has reason to regret the absence of tbe popular 1^ is >n the power of the company at this moment to prove that it iB guided by a lib eral and magnanimous spirit; and if it shall ; make this apparent, we are well convinced the j future will prove the wisdom of the act. Railroad A'TCIDKXts.?We Beldom look into a newspaper tbat docs not record some lament- j able disaster on one of the railroads of our j country ; and tbe frequency of their occurrence 1 has begun to attract the most earnest inquiries as to some means of their prevention. The New York Sun states, that on all the European railroads men are employed at each principal way-station whose especial duty it is to examine the soundness and security of every car-wheel j and axle of every train, aud to examiue und fill j up the oil or greese boxes. There are also gates and gate-keepers at every place where a public wagon-road crosses the track. These gates are closed on both sides of the track before the train comes along, aud only opened after it has passed. At every material curve in the road, and at every tunnel and bridge, men are sta tioned with Bignals to indicate whether trains are or are not on the curve, in the tunnel, or upon the bridge. Here is a case in point. On the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, west of Cumberland, on Thursday last, at 10 o'clock, a. m , as the train of three or four gondola or iron cars was pro ceeding westward with some passengers and materials for the new track, the engine being behind, a wheel of the forward ear was tuddenly broken, and the car was precipitated down a high embankment, with twelve or fifteen persons upon it. Three of thete were killed intlinl/y, three were seriously injured, and six were in- I jured slightly?one of the latter being a woman. "Ixciubkts ii? the Liris or a Pastor."? The perusal of this volume has afforded us great pleasure. Its author, Dr. Wisner, is a Presbyterian minister, and every Christian who can approve the sentiments of a liberal-minded writer of that denomination should procure a copy of his book. We have rarely seen so in structive or so profitable a work of its kind. It it foT sale at Taylor & Maury's bookstore. Viroinia. On Thursday next, the 25th in stant, the Whig Convention of the 8tate, to dominate candidates for Governor, Lieutenant Governor, Attorney General, kc., under the new constitution, will assemble at Charlottes ville. Tit* PreilltntUI Party. President Fillmore returned to thi#?ity yes terday morning, in restored health and fine spirits, as we are glad to be informed. We un derstand that the members of the Cabinet who were with the President in Boston may all be expected to return to their posts of duty after awhile. The speech made by the President on Boston Common, just as he was leaving the great din ner table, and while he was too unwell to say anything, was the happiest effort made by him, as we (hiuk, during his trip to the North. Mr. Stuart's speeches seemed to be all fail ures. Since his famous Richmond speech, and the appcarance of the merited strictures upon it, the poor man seems to be at a loss, when called upon for a speech, what to say, or how to say it. At Boston he proclaimed that he had learned, for the first time in his life, a lesson, which he would impart to the people of Vir ginia on his return to them. And so he is to be a teacher of the people of the Old Dominion! Would that he were disinterested enough to resign his Secretaryship forthwith, and start out on his (caching minion. The people of Vir ginia ought not to remain longer in ignorance of the important truth, of the greatness of Massa chusetts, which Mr. Stuart has just now learned. His boast that Virginia stands by the Union, just as Massachusetts does, may be received by the people of the Old Dominion as a compli ment, but wo doubt it. They are bound to know, in spito of all Mr. Stuart may essay to teach them to the contrary, that there has re cently been formed a coalition in Massachusetts which has sent to the Senate of the United States Mr. Charles Sumner, a noted abolitionist agitator, whose teachings proclaim a preference fur a dissolved Union rather than the continu ance of slavery where it now exists. Massachusetts sustains Mr. Sumner's doc trines, and sends Mr. Sumner himself to the United States Senate for a term of Bix years. And with this evidence before him of what Massachusetts has recently done on this disunion subject, Mr. Secretary Stuart stands up in the midst of the people of Boston, and proclaims that Virginia stands by the Union just as Mas sachusetts does' But enough of this, for the present. We on Saturday gave the speech of Mayor Bigelow welcoming the President to Boston. It was a beautiful thing, both in sentiment and words. We thought it the best speech of the batch pub lished. But wo find another equal to it, deliv ered by the same eloquent Mayor, to Lord Elgin, the Governor General of Canada, who was a guest at the great Railway Jubilee. Here it is: MAYOR BIOKLOW TO LOUD E1XHN. Y our Excellency ?In the name of my fel low-citizens I welcome you to the metropolis of flew England. We recognisc you not only as the ruler of extensive and important provinces, but as the principal representative on this continent of the venerated land of our ancestors. It is j told of Samoset, the Indian chief, that his first I salutation to the Pilgrims at Plymouth was, j " Welcome, welcome, Englishmen!" Such was the greeting of the old warrior to those who i were to invade the hunting-grounds and extin guish the council-fires of his race. With a bet ter augury for the future, it becomes me on this occasion to repeat the salutation, and say, i Welcome, Englishmen, aud their fellow-subjects who comc to us under circumstances so auspi cious for our own and their prosperity. There is a special iuterest connected with your Excellency's visit at this time, gracing, as it does, with your presence, the establishment of a social and commercial alliance between this city and the (>anadas. Lines of iutercommuni- i nation have been opened, by which the products of your provinces can find speody and conve nient transit to the sea. The railways which unite us are more truly admirable than the 1 won^ous avenues which radiated from Imperial! Rome?avenues for facilitating the march of' invading armies, or returning chariots laden with the spoil of desolated countries. Our own iron path ways, the results of scientific labor and skill?skill unequalled by ancient times?are devoted to far different objects. They unite in friendly relations the inhabitants of widely sepa rated regions, minister to their mutual wauts, diffuse abroad the means of knowledge, and scat ter plenty through a smiling land. Our festi val may be considered, in some respects, as tho celebration of a conjugal union between Canada and the Ocean. We can dispense with the golden ring which was used in the espousals of Venice with the waters of the Adriatic, for this union is effected by bands of iron, which at once attests its perpetuity and strength. My Lord, the donoexion which hereafter is to sub- i sist between the people whom you govern and ' the Atlantic States, is perhaps, in no small de- | grce, a pledge and a guarantee of perpetual amity between the British and American na- 1 tious. The memory of their fratricidal con flicts is fading away, and the history thereof, ( I trust, is completed forever. The record of their generous rivalry for pre-eminence in the arts of peace is now opening, and is destined to exhibit the brightest pages in the annals of their common race. Such, I am confident, are the anticipations and hopes of the people for whom I speak, and they enhance the pleasure with which they saluto you as their welcome and honored guest. The Boston Railroad Jubilee. Tho New York Morning Star says, that the modern Athens, having ?? annexed" Canada to Fancuil Hall with railroad iron, is dancing a fandango in honor of the junction. The same paper remarks that the speeches, with the ex ception of Mr. Fillmore's and Daniel Webster's, " 8mc" remarkably strong of Bunker Hill mon ument, Boston harbor, Cape Cod, and all along shore;" but their beauty is, that "no human being, who did not know beforehand, could by any possibility guess what line of public works they refer to, and in fact they would be utterly unintelligible without a railroad guide.*- There is any quantity of allusions to ? bands of iron,' ?links of steel,' and all that sort of thing, sprinkled through the proceedings, but no ref erence to any specific bands and links. Fortu nately we know the road via Vermont to the St. Lawrence, or Heaven knows we should never find our way by tho help of the 1 celebra tion' speeches." That our readers may have something intelli gible on the subject, we quote the following from the New York Tribune: "Twenty years ago the first charter for a railroad was granted in Massachusetts ? seven teen years ago the first railroad was opened to the public; and they are now celehrating at Boston the completion of a system of seven trunk lines, with numerous and extensive branches, including within the bounds of the State above one thousand miles of railway, be sides at least fifteen hundred miles of direct extensions or connexions beyond its borders. Of all these roads, those within the State alone employ a capital 01 fifr-too million, of dollar-, ^f/^aywfy wtuuB of abuve iui and a half millions; aud thus it i* uol ^ estimate that one hundred million* of Maaauchu Betta capital have within these brief tweuty yean been invented in tailroad* whiuh have their focoa in Boston, and well invented too; theoiirj?' 0,1 tt5U' calculatiuu' but onehaljot thecapital invested in railways in New England. Ihis is why they hold a jubilee there. They ?re right in doing so. They are right in re-1 joiciug at the completion of a system of public works absolutely unparalleled. We rejoice with them, and feel our Yankee blood tingling in sympathy ; for whatever benefits one p?frt of this republic benefits all others. But let ua look into the occasion of the jubilee u little more in detail. " Massachusetts has a small territory its area la but 6,000,000 acres, aud its population not one million. A rocky and barren aoil, an unfriendly climate, aud no navigable rivers opening chaunela to the interior, are the en dowments with which old Massachusetts entered on her career. They are not all, however ; ahe had a people unequalled in energy, concentra tion ol purpose, and personal integrity: she had good schools, good lawa, a glorious hiatory, and the go-ahead spirit; she had also abundant water-power, the enterprise to use it, and for a 1 time the national policy has favored her. She has built up manufactures, and on that basis stands the admirable example of a State that she now presents ; and finally she has erected this great net-work of railways extending in all directions, and bearing IVom every quarter a willing tribute of prosperity and the means of greatness still more complete and enduring. * * * ? * " The foreign traffic brought into the State by these ohanuels is by no means the chief benefit they confer on the people. No com monwealth in the world, exoept it be England, is so covered with linos of railroad, and in none are they so universally and constantly used by all classes. There is not a town in the State with as many as five thousand inhabitants which has not railroad communication with the me tropolis ; of those with from 12,000 to 5,000 in habitants there are scarce half a dozen which are not upon, or in the near vicinity of, some railroad; indeed, it is only necessary to take up a recent map of the State and observe how complete is the net-work, to perceive that there is hardly a neighborhood in its territory which does not hear the shrill whistle of the locomo tive, nor a farmer so secluded as not to have the advantage of being able to travel to the metropolis at the rate of twenty or thirty miles an hour. Over every line there are at least two daily trains to and from Boston, except on Sunday, when, with the exception of perhaps an early morning train, all business is stopped; even steam is made to respect the time-honored habit of the puritans. "Such is the system of public works whose completion?almost entirely through private enterprise and capital, and without govern mental aid?has occasioned this jubilee, and whose operation will aggrandize the Bay State, and not fail to benefit her neighbors and fellows in the Kcjmblic. No commuuity of anoient or modern times has ever erected for itself a mon ument of greater utility, or exhibiting more magnificently the power of human genius and industry." | Hon. J*ffhbson Davis.?This gallant son of the sunny South has become a candidate for the office of Governor of Mississippi, in the place of General Quitman, who has declined. Senator Douglas.?The address of this emi nent citizen and statesman, before the Agricul tural society of the State of New York, on Fri day last, is reported at length in the New York , Herald of Saturday, and occupies more than four closely printed columns. The practical information it embodies, high as has been our estimate of the general information of the speaker, has truly astonished us, and the sound I practical viows he expresses on many important 1 subjects are such as to win the admiration of every reader. The peroration was in the fol lowing eloquent language: " Mr. President and Gentlemen: In bringing this discourse to a conclusion, I am not insen sible to the magnitude and importance of my theme. 1 have approached it with diffidence, I before an auditory critically observant of its great practical and philosophical truths, audi liavo obeyed your flattering request with a con sciousness that the noblest pursuit of man do- : manda a broader and higher reach of thought than I have found time and opportunity to bring to its elucidation. I have sought at least I to show not ouly the dignity and value of your culling, in its influence over the destiny and elevatiou of our country, but to enforce the ! great truth, that a common interest links to gether, throughout all the diversities of soil, of I j climate, and of production, the noble fabric of I American industry. | ?' In taking leave of such a theme, let me say that you may well rejoice in your pursuits. You may well rejoice in its triumphs?the ; peaceful triumphs of labor, of art, and of science. You may recall with pride that illus trious race of cultivators, who, from Cincin- ' natus to Washington, graced and ennobled agri culture, and which in turn graced and ennobled them. You may congratulate yourselves upon the condition and attitude of your socicty. If In the rank of American States, New York holds i a lofty position, the labors of its State society will be the more widely productive of benign ' results, not only in promoting and advancing its own husbandry, but its bright example will1 be felt in all quarters of the republic. Let me, i then, urge you to renewed and unremitted ef- ' fort; to continued zeal and emulation in the discharge of duties to your State and country, which bring with them the blessing of God and (ho gratitude of men. As the dews from hea ven refresh and fertilize the earth, and gladden the heart of the husbandman, bo will your labors, steadily pursued, wisely directed, and liberally disseminating the seeds of intelligent observatian and experience, bring forth a rich and abundant harvest." Execution.?On Friday last Aaron Stookey was hung at New York for tho murder of a colored man named Zeddy Moore. He died very penitent and very grateful to all who had shown him compassion, including the sheriff and officers. The Rev. Mr. Csmp prayed most eloquently with him. His brief farewell speech, in the honett hour of death, was as follows : " My dear fellow-creatures, 1 am here beforo you to die, and hope to go beforo my God in a few moments. I am sorry to have to toll yon to beware of rum?beware of it?beware of the rum?never touch nor handle it, nor let it near you. I am sorry to say I am under the gallows, and I hope God will have m?-rcy on my soul that is all the hope I have got in this world and I pray God will look down on me and re ceive my soul." Masonic Funeral?The remains of Mr. Henry Morgan, a member of St. John's Lodge, wore yesterday afternoon borne to the grave by the Freemasons of this city.
