The Committee on Roads, fce., reported against allowing the Pittsburgh & Steubenville Railroad Company to cross Virginia, and tbe.House of Del egates was occupied Tuesday and pert of Wednes day and Thursday in discussing an amendment of ftred by Mr. Smith, of Brooke, to reverse the Re poitof the Committee and instruct them to report a bill. The House adopted, the amendment on Thursday, by a vote of seventy-three to sixty fuur. This is substantially the action of the House of last winter, when a special committee was raised to report this bill,which was afterwards postponed indefinitely bya vote of 69 to 31. Mem bers often yield to solicitation to report a bill in order that the parties may be heard on the ques tion, when at the time they have not the most re mote idea of voting for the bill on its merits. The advocates of this bill know this and will hardly hope for the future. The strangest thing about the conduct of the advocates of this bill is their persistence before the Legislature that this is a Vir ginia bill, on the lands of Virginians and construc ted by Virginians, in the face of what every citi zen of Brooke and Hancock knows to the contrary. Notv wewouTd like to know what citizen of Brooke and Hancock, other than Mr. Jesse Edginpton, (who we believe has 93,000 of rtock in theP. & S. Road.) owns on? dollar of stock in the Panhandle Road or has spent one cent in the construction of the road across Brooke. We would like to know if every cent of the money invested in Brooke county did not come from the Treasury of the Pittsburgh and Steuben ville Railroad? Who will deny Ibis? We would like to know whether this road ("now the absolute property of Messrs. Wells and Edgingtou,") would pass to their heirs at law, or whether a certain "in denture," refeired to vaguely in the deed from Graff (ex-president of the P. & S. Road,) to Wells and Edgington, would not control the reversion and take back to Pittsburgh its own property? There is no use in making a false issue. The roail is be ing made by the Pittsburgh and Steubenville Rail road Company for their benefit and none other, and the clamor about "Virginians making their own road over their own land" is as bold a pre tence as ever was invented. It is not even specious. It has not the merit of good design even. Now while the hue and cry is going on about this road what is Pennsylvania doing with the Franklin Canal Company 1 This canal company built a road without authority of law from Erie to . They bad authority to build a canal but not a railroad. The Legislature had the control of its charter and have repealed it. and forfeited the Railroad to the State anc Gov. Bigler has issued his proclamation to that eff- ct declaring this road ll.e property of the State: This act iscotrect, but how would the Pittsburgh and Steubenville Company fare," did Virginia apply Pennsylvania laws and,legislation to their road in Virginia. The Legislature of Pennsylvania butc.irried out Judge Black's opin ion on the right to construct Railroads without authority of law. He was correct and so was the Legislature, and Pittsburgh will be the I stto com plain of this action, unless applied by Virginia.? The power of repealing thj Franklin Canal Com pany's charter, gave no authority to forfeit a ra Iroad to the State. Tbat was done on original and elementary principles, thut the Legislature must look to tbe State, the whole State, and that in older to conduct properly the Internal Im provements. of the State, the Legislature mus have the coi trol of all public improvements and say when and where and how they shall be con structed. Were we the owner of the Balti mure and Ohio Railroad, there is no sum which we would not give to have the Virginia Legisla ture sanction the principle of the Panhandle Road, for under it the Baltimore andOhio Railroad couid effeel, up the valley, a connection with Kentucky, Tennessee and the South West, worth to her city more than every other improvement now entering Baltimore. The great Virginia improvements would then be the feeder? of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, and where would be the millions of money invested by the State in Internal Improve ments? Let the Legislature but look to Virginia in their action upon this question, and we shall be content with the result. inr'vVe find the following notice in the Whig of Mr. Gally's speech on Tuesday last, in the House of Delegates, on the Pittsburgh and Steubenville Railroad question, after Mr. Smith of Brooke on the opposite side. Mr. Gnl'y then addressed the House in a speech of considerable length and much force of argu ment ;n support of the report of the committee, nnd against the amendment. It was indeed an ef fort of great power. 'l'be closing part of his ad dress was rendered in a style so sublime, so touch ing, when he referred to the relations of Wheeling which it was sought to ruin by this ri ad, to the state at large in the comparative small concern of w hich she was the object in the various appropri ations made by the State, as to have had very great influence upon the House. The effect was apparent, for throughout his ad diess, which lasted over two hours, a whisper could not be beard within the Hall. We confers that we felt a feeling, of sincere pride in the suc cess of this effort lor Virginia's sake, because it asserted her claim Jto pre-eminence still in what constitutes true greatness. At the cl<-se of the address the House adjourned without taking a vote upon the motion. Emancipated Slaves .-Thirty-four negroes amancipated by the will of William M. Colgin, of Taylor county, Ky., who died about sixteen months since, passed through Cincinnati on Wednesday, on their way to Shell y county, Ohio, where the executors of Mr. Colgin have purchased a home for them. By the will of their master tbey were given $4 000 in money, and horses, wagons, form ing utensils, &c., sufficient to give them a fair start. Sam'l Simpjo.i, one ol the executors, went to idney by railroad to make arrangements for their comfortablesettlement; the other, J. G. Simp son, accompanied them on the way. They travel In,their own wagons. As they passed through that city their appearance attracted a great deal of at tention. Mart on MaboakxtI?Tiiat is tux Question!? Many-mouth rumor teems rather at fault as to whether the Daks d' Alba compared the wife of our ambassador at Madrid to Mary or Maigaret of Burgundy. We have always maintained that it was to the latter, aithere could be no offence in comparing ber to the fairest and must virtuous of her sex. But we find a quictut to all editorial speculation in a letter of Alfred Mercier, Mrs. Saule's brother, written to Paris 1'eiclr, in which he stales that bis sister was dressed in a blue Ycl -Tet robe, low in the neck, ttlmmrd with flounces of gold thread lace; and that the words of the duke, as distinctly heard by her toil, were, 'There goen Marguerite de Uourgone."?Cin.

CORRESPONDENCE Or THE WHKWNO tSTILLlCKXCM Wasiii.xoton, D. C. Feb. 2, 1851. 'Messrs Editors:?Our beautiful weather still continues and gossip seems suspended. To mor row the Senate will be crowded, as it is said Mr. Chase of Ohio, will speak on the Nebraska bill iu reply to Mr. Douglass. As 1 write the sound of a dram falls upon my ear, mid on looking out I see the Kentucky Horse Tamer practicing in the public square. It is said lie can take an^unlamed coll and make him tractable in half an hour. The process is proba bly the same as practiced by what were called "horse whisperers" in olden times, and has more recently been attributed to mesmeric influence by some, and by others ta the use of essential oils.? However, this Kenluckian seems lo go more upon the principle of the "bee gatherers," who, you are atar.', beat a tin pan around the swarming bees and so bolhn them that they tire obliged lo settle. This man leads out a horse and begins beating the drum so loud that the poor beast can not even hear the suggestion of i.is own brai:, and consequently not being able to act for him self, follows the drummer about like a docile dog. An appraisement has been made of the land of Mis. Brooks, situated about five miles from Wash ington, required for the use of the aqueduct and receiving reservoir. Twenty-nine acres aud a half were required, and was assessed at 82,000.? Eleven acres will be required for the teservoir. Our town council are not in favor of Congress allowing the private company who contemplated and first suggested the City Rail Road, and have asked Congress, by a vote of eleven to eight, not to give the private company a charter, but to let them have it, or ct least it amounts to about thu t. In one of my former letters 1 endeavored to enumerate some of our pub.ic places of attraction and amusements. I may now mention, in con'inuation, the Na tional Observ?tory under the care of Lieut. Mau ry, the Navy Yard and Arsenal, and the Peniten tiary, worth seeing, although not very amusing.? Georgetown too, which seetnsonly a continuation or Washington, a most lovely town with its rural looking ground* and sliruliery, seems more pictur tsqe ihan business like. Many of our funetiona ties prefer G eorgetowu for a residence, especially ln the sumner. An orn libus running regularly from the Capitol gate to that place, obviates all seeming inconvenience. Alexandria being only 7 miles distant is a great place of resort, the boats running there and back every half li jur at 25cls the r.iind trip, makes it a cheap a.id healthy excursion. And last though not least let me mention that two excellent steamers, the George Washington and Thomas Collver, make tri-weekly trips to Mount Vernon. The courteous Captains of both vessels make it their especial business to conduct visitors through the grounds and give thein ample time to see and admire. The first object of inter est is the tomb of Washington, then winding round the hill )oucome to what inspires you with even greater reverence, the -vacant sepulchre in which his remains were firstintered. Persons have taken bits of sand from the inside of this until a mere crumbliin she.l is left. Passing still further round you ascend steps deplorably dilapidated and go in to an ancient looking tower, which was Washing ton's observatory. It is now a m.-re ruin with a deep, vault-like cellar which adds additional gloom to its fallen state. Ascending still higher we come to the mansion, from the porch of which one of the loveliest views in nature is presented. Atlhefootof the hilt rolls the majestic Potomac, doettd hcreand there by sail boats, relieved by a tich back ground of woods on the opposite bank. The mansion, like .ts former illustrious proprietor, is plain, substantial and durable. Thegaideus and out buildings were planned with excellent taste, but alas 1 show that the hand of time has beeu laid heavily upon them. Government should purchase and preserve this monument of Wash ington and let the heathenish practice of pitiug up stones fall back with the dark ages iu which they were lir.ilconceived. Yours truly, X. Tho S Julo Duels. Tuc impression kkiib to be gcininggrounil, that Mr. Smile auil liis taraily must Imve luul other pro vocation* than the .simple incident which took place at the ball of the French Ambassador. It will be recollected, that, when Mr. S. was first | despatched to Spaiu by our government, there teemed to be some doubt whether the Spanish Court would receive him, and his antecedents, as they were called, were discussed, both in the En glish, French and Spanish languages, in a manner far f.om c mplimeir.ary. He was taken for a Fi libuster, or as the apologist and advocate of Fili busters, and it seems to be not unlikely that, in an | out of the way place like Madrid, there was an at tempt to put him in Coventry as a man who had less respect than was becoming for the ancient I regime, and for the worn out people who manage | Spanish affairs. The Spanish national character, isticsare many of them aiimirable. Hut, we sup pose, it is doing them no injustice to say that they are behind the limes and do not know or see wnat is going on in the world. Mr, Soule, on the other hand was, no duubt, fully sensible as to the great ness of the nation he represents, and probably very impatient of anything that favored of slight, either towards his country or himself. It is very certain that the Empress of France had, as a Spanish woman, taken a lively interest in the Cuban affair, and it is as well authenticated, ?s such things can be, that she even went so lar as to lecture and catechise an American Senator upon the supposed disposition of the American people to swallow that fine island after a little skilllul deglutition. It is reasonable to suppose that the [ Duke de Alba, her near connection, and the Mar quis de Turgot, the very man who, as Minister of Poreigu Affairs, endeavo.ed to inveigle the United States into a in-partite treaty for securing Cuba to Spain, would feel any thing but a sinccre regard for a peison who, like Mr. Soule, was suspected of covetous inclinations towards the Queen of llit Antilles. Indeed, it would be difficult to briug together a set of people more likely to quarrel than these very persons. Hence, probably, the un lucky criticism upon Madame Soule*s dress; and hence also, the ire of the son and the father.? The reader will probably agree with us, that the following letter, written by Mr. Soule, since the duel, furnishes strong proof of a degree of exas peration far greater than would have probably been excited by",it-meie allusion to the state of a lady's dress] \ We received from Mr Perre Soule the following letter. We have tio reasons to refuse its publica tion. though it wil? perhaps be conceded that it might have been written in a more delicate lan I guage, especially in consideration of a wounded ' adversary: Madrid, Dec. 30, 1853. To the Editor of the Independence: Sir--Your paper of the 24th inst. pub'ishes, un der the title of "Private Correspondence?Ptris," I itc., a statement concerning the differences be tween my son and the Duke or Alba, and between I the Marquis de Turgot and myself, some particu lars of which are groundless, and which 1 beg of | you to allow me to correct. It it ent.rely untiue that "the explanatory letter wntteu to my son by the Dukp of Alba has been," as affirmed by your coireapondent, "sent, with or without com.nenu, to the,English newspaper;" uor is it true, that from any publication of its con tents the difficulty arose which brought about ttm hostile meeting of the 14th of November. It is not true that my son has "been disarmed by the Spaai'h gentleman." It is not true that my letter to the Marquis de I Turgot was "a most violent epistle." It was on the contrary, calm and sefious, although pressing and prempto.y. It is not ttue that M. de Tuigot "has allowed . is three days to practice." But it is ?'??? <?<?i >.? I hit, eighteen out of twenty, a doll at distant?that after having got his hand well in, he did not even allow me time to fix my affairs; but he urged me to hasten the fight and deprived me of twenty-four hours of the time that I had re quired, and which was agreed upon by his wit nesses and mine. And finally, it is not true that, "contrary to the general custom, 1 have left the field without giving any mark of sympathy to the wounded." My first movement, when seeing my adversary fall, was to send him word by one of my seconds, the brave and incorruptible Intendam, Don lienito Aleno de Gaminde, tint "I hoped that the wound would not prove serious." It was my cloak which, with that of the heroic General Don Francisco Valdes, my other second, were used as a little. It was my line which was used to dress his wound, and my doctor who gave the first help. As for reconciliation, I do not recognize in any one the right ti constitute himself a judge of the reasons preventing me to seek for it, nor of the reasons which should have influenced my deter mination to refuse it, had it been offered to me. The insult to Madame Soule, at M. de Turgot's house, was directed against me and not against her, uud came from gluttons ujhic/t, however high they may seen, are not those towards which I feel at all inclined to volunteer the slightest concession. 1 have the honor to be, &c., PlEItltE SOULE. The paragraph at the close of the letter which we have italicised, plainly intimates thatthe insult to Mr. Soule came from a source higet than the French Ambassador. If Mr. Soule really had any good ground for sup posing that either the partizans and connections of the French Empress, or the Spanish Court intend ed him or his family the least disrespect, on ac count of his position as the American Ambassador, the decided and over earnest manner in which he and his son manifested their resentment, will find very numerous sympathisers and even admirets in the United States.?Bait, Patriot. BRUIN "STARRING." A frightful scene occurred lately at the Theatre at Czerny, in Bohemia, during the performance of n melodrama called the Bear of the Mountain, the principal actor of which was a biar of such won derful docility and dramatic talent that fur a long succession of nights he attracted overflowing au diences.. On this occasion, however, something had put this "star" out of ,numor, and he was ob served to he wanting in those brilliant displays of or the histronio which had previously overwhelm ed him with applause. In the third act, instead of coming down the mountain by a winding paih, with slow and solemn step, prescribed in the promp ter's book, he alighted on the stage at one hound, like the descent of an terolile. On his return be hind the scene he received repioofs, wi.icn, in stead of improving, made his temper more sullen, and it was with difficulty he could be prevailed upon to go through his part. Ill the last scene the bear was induced to com mence a wnliz with a young and beautiful peasant tirl, and seemed to take so much enjoyment in the dance that the whole audience gradually rose Irom their seats, and, standing on the benches, drowned the sound of a powerful orchestra with their acclamations of wonder and delight. In a moment, however, the joyous spectacle was chan ged into a scene of teiror. A piercing shriek was he;ird through all the tumult, and the lovely dan cer was hurried round with the velocity of a swift wheel, and discharged from her partner's arms head foremost into the pit, where, however, si.e was caught by the audienc-: without damage. The next moment the stage lover of the peasant girl, who hod been coquetting in a dance in the distance with a gioup of ballet dancers,advanced, in the performance of his port, to waltz with the bear. The former catastrophe had been so rapid I that, though his danger was lully perceived by the audience, whose cries were lould to deter him, it was evidently unperceived by the lover. The bear was instantly on the qui vive, measuring him fioin top to toe, and, flinging his legs around him, he began to waltz with such extraordinary boundiiigs that the astonished lover was soon whirled off his feet, and in another moment was at the top of a stage precipice and tossed into the surges below. The astonishment now, however, had turned into consternation. The bear was seen dancing lor ward, evidently pleasei; with Ins own exploits, and with his muzzle broken, lhe inrsk hanging loose around his neck, and roaring fiercely. ' The whole audience now started on their feet, rolled over each other, and in the attempt to es cape choked up the doors of the pit, boxes, and gallery. The town police were now called in, formed a circle, and charged the bear with fixed bayonets. Firing was out of the question, as the bullets which missed the bear must lake elTect up on the audience; but the hero, though left alone, exhibited at oi.ee the adroitness of education and the intrepidity of his nature. A part ol his train ing had been the platoon exercise, and suddenly knocking down a corporal of the guard with one paw, and seizing his musket with the other, he threw his crossbelt over his back and proceeded deliberately to prune i?nd load. The terror of the audience was now extreme, and shiieks were heard from every side, as he pointed the muzzle lownrds the crowded pit. The gu-r-J, which had regarded it as a remark able ell rl of city valor to have approached him at all, now widened their circle in all directions to a resptctable position iron an antagonist armed alike with the lerocity of n savage nature and the weapen of civilization. But the bear, already long accustomed to military lnantEuvres. and who I had exhibited lately at St. fetersburgli, in the pan lumineof the battle of Pultowa, palpably took | the Swedish capt.ves, and picked out each of Ihem from his hiding place by a lender touch at the point of the bayonet. In all their fright the audience roared with laughter; it was evident that j his pantoiniiuical recollections were still strong upon him, for he compelled every man of l.is cap tives to kneel down upon the stage, strip oil his accoutrements and bed for his lite. A flourish of trumpets should have followed this unequivocal victory; but the orchestra, half tfrri hed out ol their lives by the near neighborhood of the couqueror, had forgot this port of their duty. The bear now odvanced to tLe front part of the stage, growled fiercely ot the kettle-drummer, and finding that his signal was not obeyed, he made one mighty bound ut the drum itself and rolled in to the orchestra. All the petformers now ran for their lives; desks were tumbled down, fiddles crushed, double-bosses shattered into frngments, and the sons of Apoilo, hiding themselves under the benches, scrambling over the rails, or making battle with the fragments, of their trumpets and trombones, roared for help. The aodience, who saw that be had come so much nearer by the route of the orchestre, now tried to make their escape in every direction.? Shrieks and screums, roars and oaths, filled all parls of the theatre; but whether the bear thought that the operation was too tardy, or recollected some of the old scenes of towns taken by storm, he had no sooner prostrated the fiddlers than he sprang gallantly into the pit. Here ail was con lusiou worse confounded. I he rnpidity of the flight equalled the terrorof lhe moment, and each was electric; the beat stamping, bounding, and ?oaring with all the air of a conqueror; and it was not until the theatre was completely cleared, and his roar had entirely subsided, that the city guard, gathered from the stage, made a temporary lodg ment in otie of the lobbies. The commander-in chief made his approaches with the caution of science, and nothing could be more deliberate than the courage with which he opened the door of the stage-box. There he discovered the bear had fallen asleep in the lap of victory, and, in fact, was snoring at full length in one of the crimson benches in the pit. Tt'e captain of the gunrd, distinguished in the city of Czetny for his valor, at this cnsis of affairs boldly ventured for ward and ordered his platoon to fire a volley at the sleeping monster; but, before this could be ef fected, the keepers of the menageiie from which the animal had been borrowed came in with ropes and nels, and wete suffered to supersede the guard. The bear very quietly followed his keep ers, and the authorities of the city, on the plea that though bears might make dangerous actors, Bohemiau actors would make very good bears, publisi ed a proclamation against Brum's future appearance.

Some yenri since at a celebration of the New England Society at Boston, the President of that Society proposed the banishment of wines and li quors from the dinner table, and the introduction of women; observing, that liquors rendered men boisterous, but that the presence of women would tend to preserve quiet and order.
