VIRGINIA AND TENNESSEE RAIL
ROAD.
The following are the receipts of this Road
for the month of June. They shew a steady
increase in its business, that must be in the
highest degree gratifying to its friends. A
r.iad, thus rapidly improving, must command
the public confidence in its securities. Its
history thus far augurs for it a most prospe
rous career, when it shall be completed :

MARTIN VAN BUREN.
The venerable sage of Kinderhook was,
at the last accounts, still thawing his cold
blood beneath the sunny skies of Paris.—
There must be much congeniality of tastes
and temperament between Louis Napoleon
and Martin Van Buren. If Louis has a va
cant place in his Cabinet, we recommend
Martin for the position. On this side the
Arctic circle, there is not, except Louis, a
mire crafty, calculating, cold, repulsive be
ing, than the venerable fossil of Kinderhook.
When he drops into the purgatorial flames,
the engineer of that region must be on the
or the descending iceberg will put ail
his fires out. It would be wiser in Martin,
at his time of life, instead of hopping about
in the gay saloons of Paris, and hobnobbing
with the kindred spirit on the French throne,
to prepare for a visit to the court of the Em
peror Nicholas—not of Russia—but of those
tropical regions, where old politicians per
forin involuntary penance.
Perhaps no man in the United States has
done more to widen sectional differences and
promote disunion than Martin Van Buren.
And all from disappointed ambition. There
h nothing of which such a seltish and cor
rupt politician is incapable. "Rule or Ruin"
is the motto ot his class.
INCREASE OF POPULATION IN NEW
YORK
According to statistics published in the N.
Y. Herald, thu increase of population in the
city of New York during the last five years,
has been two hundred and thirty five thou
sand, a far greater increase than at any pre
vious period during the last 20 years. The
entire population of the city proper, as
shown by the report of the Census Marshal,
is about seven hundred and fifty thousand;
and with the adjoining towns, including
Brooklyn, there are over a million of people,
making a population greater than the aggre
gate of several States. New York and Brook
lyn, it is supposed, will have one fourth of
the population of the Empire State, and be
represented in the Legislature by 32 mem
bers of the Lower House and S members of
the Senate.
The most populous ward in New York is
the Eleventh, the population of which, upon
a territory of only about three-tenths of a
square mile, is estimated at sixty-five thou
sand!
FOURTH OF JULY.
The N. York Herald, referring to the love
of country exhibited by the American peo
ple on the 4th of July, says it is unfortunate
that our countrymen are patriotic only one
day in the year There are some sections j
where that hit will apply.
The Indian War.—The superintendent of
Jcidiau affairs in JN'ew Mexico states, ihfU
during the month of May, there w«is conside
rable fighting between tlie U. S. troops and
the Utah and Li Carilla Indians. The latter
lost 47 killed, and the troops lost only two.
It is fouud difficult to prevail upon the Pue
blo Indians, to receive the agricultural im
plements tendered them by the U. 8- gor
ernmeut agents. They say that Mexico once
gave the presents and demanded pay for
tbem, and they fear that our government
will do so.
Destructive Floods at the North. —
On the 27th, a destructive flood occurred at
Oramel, Alleghany, Canada, occasioned by
the rising of creeks. Bridges and dams
were swept away, and a woman and two
children drowned, at Homesville, a number
of dwellings and a railroad bridge were
swept off and one woman drowned. The
trains on the Great Western Railway were
detained a good deal by the embankments
bsiug swept away. Another flood occurred
a few days ago on Elkhart river, in Indiana,
doing serious damage at Waterford, Benton
and Syracuse. The Elkhart Herald says the
loss in that county will not be less than
$50,000.
Distinction of the smr Star Kei'le
'lhe ship Star Republic which was de
stroyed on the Ist inst., three days out of
New lork, was owned by Wakeman, Dimon
& Co., and was built at Portland, Ct., she
was 320 tons burthen, and was valued at
$15,000, upon which tin re was an insurance
of §0,500 in New York. Her cargo of 150
bales of hay was valued at $10,000 and was
also insured.
*Ast Steamboat Travelling.— The
steamer Western World left Detroit, Mich
June sth, at lip. M. for Buffalo, where hhe
arrived at 11 -10 A. M , the next day, making
he passage, -'06 miles, in thirteen hours and
forty five minutes. We do not think this
time has ever been beaten by a steamer in
any waters. The Western World is 346 feet
long, 45 1-2 leet beam ; tonnage, 2350 tons
diameter of cylinder, 82 1 8 inches; stroke
1- feet.
Ihe Cross and the Crescent.—One of
the trench bisters of charity, engaged in
ministering to the wounded soldiers in the
List, has fallen a victim to her zeal and de
votion, and perished. At her funeral, the
cross which was carried before the coffin,
wkh escorted by Turkish soldiors with arms
reversed.
Sentence o» Di nniu as korthe Murder
*^ HIS 7 1FE— A mau named Dunnigan, at
Albany, has been sentenced for the murder
; t 111# Wife, to be hung on the -Mtb of August.
he prisoner is said to have exhibited much
emotion, crying " Oh, 1,-rd ! Oh, Lord !" and
weeping in a m tuner that elicited the sym
pathy ot uli preseut. Ho suM u itliing why
sentence should not be pronounc-d, except
that b« w»# not guilty.

more.
Re i, ig i ous Inteligence.—At Ravens
wood, Va., there were in the 12 days preced
ing Juue 21st, 30 conversions and 40 addi
tions to the Methodist Church there.
Antidote for Poke Root.—Mr. R. L'
Taliaferro, has written to tbe Christian Ad
vocate, stating that sweet milk is an almost
sure antidote in cases where children or
others have accidently eaten of that poison
ous substance. He cites the cases of his two
children whose lives were saved by it.
Harvesting.—The Norfolk Herald says,
not a drop of rain has fallen in that region
since the 25th ult, and the farmers have a
glorious time for harvesting.
Fourth in Wheeling.—The Fourth was
celebrated in W T heeling by the military, fire
men, Sunday Schools and citizens generally.
fire companies from Steubensville,
Ohio, visited the city, and were the guests of
their brother firemen.
School Law Defeated.—The voters of
Brooke county have defeated the public
school law there by one hundred majority
against it. The iaw sought to be carried is
the same as that now existing in Ohio.
Coal Receipts.—The receipts of coal in
Alexandria for the month of June,have been
IS,6GG tODB.
Racing.—The cars on the Orange and Al
exandria railroad, with the great Southern
mail, and the boat on the Potomac,are trying
their speed. The former beat the latter
Tuesday—arriving at Alexandria several
minutes before it. Generally they arrive
about the same hour.
Tow Boat.—A new tow boat named the
"W. W. Townes,'' in compliment to the
Mayor of Petersburg, is being built in
delphia, to run on the Appomattox. She is
to be commanded by Capt. A. F. Drew.
Military Visit.—The Petersburg Greys,
Capt. J. V. Scott, parading fifty-four men,
including the band, left for Norfolk Tuesday
evening to spend the Fourth.
Improvement.—The Petersburg Council
have appropriated $2,500 to improving the
fair ground there.
From Rio Janeiro.—The bark Panama
has arrived at New Orleans from Rio Ja
neiro, with dates to the 22d May. The Leg
islature was in session. The project to amend
the mortmain laws, introduced "last year,was
taken up and discussed. Its principal pro
visions are that the Government shall be
authorized to grant licenses to mortmain
corporations to acquire and hold under any
title, land or properties for the building of
churches, chapels, cemeteries, hospitals, ed
ucational constitutions, asylums, buildings,
or any other establishments for pious pur
poses. A long and warm discussion took
place in reference to the reply to che speech
from the Throne, in which it was proposed
to censure the Ministry f.>r want of economy
the administration of the affairs of the
Empire. The expensiveness anU unsatisfac
tory working of telegraph lines were among
the subjects of complaint. The discussion
was kept up to so late an that the Cham
bers had to adjourn the debate. The regatta
of Botatogo took place on the 21st, which
was very largely attended, and among others
the Emperor and Empress. French and
English boats joined with national ones iu
the sport, and carried off some of the prizes;
but we do not see that any American ones
took part in the proceedings.
Another Outrage Disposed Of.—A re
port having been industriously circulated
that the Hon. John 11. Wheeler, U. 8. Minis
ter near the Republic of Nicaragua, had
been imprisoned by the Nicaragu un govern
ment, it meets with a full denial in the Bole
tin Official, published at Granada,on the 26th
of May, in which the story is pronounced
"an infamous calumny—a falsehood without
any kind of foundation in any respect." On
the contrary, it appears thai Mr. Wheeler
reached Granada at a time of some conside
rable embarrassment, but was immediately
introduced to General Chamorro *nd receiv
ed with the greatest courttsy. He subse
quently was received with all official honor.
At a re union of friends, at which the Presi
dent of the republic and his Ministers, with
Mr. Wheeler, were present, the latter in re
ply to a toast complimentary to the U. States
Minister, remarked:
" He felt obliged by such token of respect
—he had seen with some pain in the papers a
notice of his imprisonment by the Govern
ment of Nicaragua, where he had received
only testimonials of respect aud cordial friend
ship. If by the term imprisonment was
meant those ties of friendship by which the
people of Nicaragua had bound him —by
their unexpected and unsolicited acts of
kindDess to himself and his Government —
then these newspapers had spoken truthfully,
for in this sense he was indeed a prisoner,
bound haud and heart by their respect to the
Government of the United States, aud atten
tions to their Minister to this republic."
Fire and Kiot is Toronto, C. W.—Last
Friday morning a lire broke out in the sta
ble of the Globe Hotel, at Toronto, Canada
West, which destroyed several dwelling
houses, causing a loss of about $16,000. A
light among the firemen then took place, aud
when the police interfered, they were set
upon and badly beaten with clubs and axe
helves. Some of them ar« hardly expected
to survive their injuries.
Death of Jim Myers, the Clown.—Jas.
Myers, the clown, and one of the proprietor."
of Myers & Madigan's Circus Company,
met with an untimely d«alh while perform
ing on the slack rope at Geneva, New York.
The ring by which th« rope was fastened
gave way, throwing him to Ihe ground with
so much violence as to dash his brains out.
Grand Reformation Meeting,—Abby
11. Folsoin, last week, preseuted a petition to
the Common Council of Boston, for permis
sion to erect a tent on the Common, to hold
a "Grand Universal Purification meet
ing." The petition was unceremoniously laid
on the table.
Safe Banking.—The paper* in Fayette
ville, N ().. notice the unusual fact, that the
itamlc of Kayetteville whioh had been in ope
ration six year* has not made a single bad
d«!n.
SPIRIT OF THE PRESS.
The National American has a salutatory
to the American party, and gays in conclu
sion, that it does not wage war against for
eigners indiscriminattly, but excepts those
*bo have been so completely naturalised
imong us—so familiar with our constitution
and laws that their suffrages, so far from
a cause of offence are known to be
cxercised with the highest discretion and
with an upiight, though frequently misguided
judgment.
The Enquirer has a leader attributing the
outrageous acts committed by the Massachu
setts Legislature to Know-Noth nzism, inH-o
duced into America through English influ
ence.
The Whig has a leader advocating the
abolition of the "secrecy" feature in the
American Order.
Corre.pondence of the Dispatch
Trip to Petersburg—Crops—The Fourth.
PETERSBURG, July 4, 1855.
Desirous of rambling, I left your pleasant
and hospitable city early this morning, en
route for the Sunny South, via Petersburg,
under the obliging and accommodating Con
ductor, _Capt. Stratton. Along the route, the
wheat is mostly harvested, while eorn and
oats looked remarkably well, with few ex
ceptions. On arriving at the "Cockade city"'
I wended my way to Phoenix Hall, and heard
the Declaration of Independence, which was
well read, by Wm. H. Lemoire, E*q, and
the Oration delivered by John Y. Gholson.
Jr., which was a chaste, eloquent and forci
ble composition. His themes were the rela
tions between America and England, and the
influence of Woman on government. The
military consisting of Artillery and City
Guard, made a handsome display, together
with the smiles and greetings of the lads
and lassies of the Cockade, made the day
one long to be remembered. C.
Crops in Eastern Texas—The Jeffer
son Herald learns that the corn and cotton
on ps in Red River, Titus and Bowie coun
ties are in excellent condition, and that an
unusually large yield is anticipated. The
Herald says:
" In addition to the splendid corn and cot
ton crops growing in the prairies bordering
on Red River and tbe Trinity, th«- wheat
crop has been one of astonishing yield. The
average yield per acre is estimated at twen
ty five bushels.
Gallant Robber.—Accounts from Mexi
co state that the diligence between Toluca
and Morelia had been stopped by robbers,
and the passengers plundered of about $2 000.
The affair was done in thb most genteel
manner. A lady passenger had a ring of
great value on her finger, which one of the
robbers strove in vain to get off. Finding
he could not succeed, he begged the lady to
keep the bauble in remembrance of him.
Drowning at a Mormon Baptizixg.—The Cln
cinnati Sun gives an account ot a Moraicn baptizing
which took place thpre on Sunday la»t. The par
ty numbered sbou'fifty. The candidate* tor bap.
tistn—both male and female, were stripped to tbelr
la.t garments and »tood on the bank of the river
awaiting.immersion. Two of the officiating elders
named Williams—father and son—were drowned
while administering the rites.
Chilian Sailobs.—Tbe Minister of Marine of
Chili has published two important decrees with re.
gard to merchantmen. The one 1* allowing na
tional vessels the completion of tbelr crews with
two-thirds foreigners, counting from the captain
Hownwsrd*. In view of the great scarcity of Chi
lian sailor, ia proportion to the number ot vessels
sailing under the Chilian flag. Tiie other imp<>«
s-s upon every captain of a vessel the duty of giv
ing satisfactory account, at his return, of all the
Chilian sailors who may be found missing from
his muster roll, under a penalty of 850 for ev»ry
man, and the risk of his vessel being considered as
ucder a foreign flag, without claim to the privileges
of the most lavored nations.
Shocking Cask of Hydrophobia.—A man living
about fony miles from Cairo, on the Railroad line,
named Evans was bitten by a mad dog recently
ana died, or rather was murdered in cons- quence!
it is said that during his paroxysms five men were
UDableto hold him, and, In compliance with his
earnest entreaties, a nutrber of persons placed him
between two feather beds, and smothered him to
death. — Indianapolis Sentinel.
Forged Free Papers.—Mr.Thomas Mathews, a
extensive merchant ami universally esteemed
cit : z"n of Sr. Louis, was arrested lsst Friday in St.
Louis by a policeman tamed Frake* upon the
charge of hsving piven two of Robert Bartlett's
slaves free papeis by which they were to escape,
The arrest caused much excitement in the city, and
from circumstances which trantpired it is thought
