Cheap Hallways. The. Portmadoc and. Festiniog Rai?es, is now attracting much among “scientific men, on ac= —_eount—of its peculiar adaptability to mountain districts. At this time when -we have-so-much.to-gay of -railroads, a —description-willnot-be—gninteresting. . This isa little roadia North Wales, which was originally cotistracted for the purpose of acting as a tramway for ¢late and stone from the hills of Merion~~~ ethshire to the sea shore. It is now being used as a regular goods and passenger line. The chief peculiarity in its construction is that the guage is only two feetbroad. Hence, though ‘the line runs through avery difficult country, the expenses of constructing and working are so small that the trafic yields the enormous revenue of thir ty per cent. The reason is simple. enough. It is because the proportion between the dead weight and paying weight is so much less than upon other ‘railways. The engine and tender upon this line weigh about ten tons, against forty tons apon the wider guage of other lines. Instead of a first class carriage weighing seven anda half tons, to carry thirty-two passengers, and rep,Tesenting nearly five hundred pounds of dead weight for each passenger, the carriages on the Festiniog weigh only three thousand pounds for twelve passengers, or two and a half hundred weight foreach person-carried. = The Railway News, in speaking of this road, withont going so far ag to gay that a twe-foot gauge will furnish Ths failway of the future; is confident: “its economy and efficiency will cause « PRIVILEGE Apusep—It has been _*_qustomery§ for members of Congress who desired to make a speech for “buncombe”, where the effort would have the effect of emptying the benches, to ‘ask and ebtain leave to have their speeches published in the Congressional Globe, without being delivered. This privilege was taken advantage of recéntly to secure the publication of a speech, in which Mungen, of Ohio, is said to have outraged decency to such an extent, as to call forth the censare of the House. The speech has not come to hand, but since the Swmate hastaken notice of itgand a concurrent resolution has been passed, prohibiting the publication of undelivered speeches, it must ‘have been a disgracefulaffair Theobjects of his assaults were President Grant and Secretary Fish,‘ and his attack upon Sumner is said to have been of the most indecent character. Tue Locner Sream Piow.—The Butte Record of February 19th, says: The Locher steam plow, which has been standing idle for some months, has been repaired, refitted and strengthened at some points where greater strength was found to be required, and will soon be ready to try plowing again. Is is still at the ranch of Mr. Farnan, near the Honcut, and ié will be again tested there, as soon as the g-ound is in proper condition for plowing. In the mean. time, the Lochers are at work upon another and improved plow, which they hope to bring out seon, and which it is believed will be free-trom the ob jections found in the first one. The frame work of the latter is now about completed, and a portion of the castings turned off. The new machine will soon be ready to put together, and it is confidently expected, will demonstrate its ability to_plow and sow, and_ —_— with rapidity and economy. 9 . facture of butt . .

Of” the vast territory of the remainder of our country—fally two-thirds of the whdle —it is to be said that its capability for . producing butter and cheese gradually diminishes with each degree southward, until at last, on the line of the cotton States, the supply, even for tamily use, is unconstant and small. The-causes for this change of condition would lead to more extended remarks than we now propose ; but it is sufficient to say that the heat of the sun and the nature of the’soil are sach as to make the growing of grass suited for the preduction of milk, or even for common pasturage, extremely difficult. Eesides, only a portion of the’ fegion fitted for supporting dairies can be devoted to this object, since a great variety of other crops must_ be grown ; norisany farmer ina condition to devote so mach of his time to the care of cows and their milk as the business . generally demands. Such, however, as are so situated as to be able to Keep dairies, may with confidence expect to be handsomely rewarded; and the pursuit has nowassumed such celebrity, he may expect additional rewards for care, tieanliness, and whatever enters into a clear understanding of the business. “Of the relative importance of butter and cheese in our markets, we see by recent statistics, that tlie value of butter tilade last year was over $200;000,000, and of cheese $36,000,000, which will naturally surprise those who have only a general notion of the subject,’ since a great deal of publicijy has been given to cheese factotes, . t little has been said of the making of tind: More GreenBacks.—On the 12th instant in the United States House of Representatives, General Logan offered a resolution, declaring as the opinion of the House, that the business interests of the-country require an increase of the currency, and instructing the ComPmittee on banking tv repurt a bill at an early day, increasing the currency or greenbacks to an amount not less than $50,000,000. The previous question was seconded, and the resolution adopted ; yeas 118, nays 73. Dipx‘'t Vore.—The women of Utah Territory are now entitled to the ballot, but they do not seem inclined to avail themselves of the privilege. At the late munictpal election in Salt Lake city, but few of them voted. The News of that city says: “A few ladies exercised their right to vote under the law publislied on Saturday; and we believe the first one who recorded her vote was Miss Seraph Young, daughtet of B. H. Young.” Mrs. Russ, the widow of the inventor of the Russ pavement, died on Sunday of last week, in New York. About two weeks previous she discovered a small pimple near her mouth, which she picked with her nail. The nail poisoned her flesh, and mortification rapidly spread until it stuck a vital part. j D.

The pasture, now very short, may become good, but the hay crop wiil be! small in the South and the damage to the meat cattle, horses and sheep is past remedy. The northeren part of the State is ‘not only blest with sufficient rain, but is advancing under other favorable influences. ‘The rapid progress -of the Sonoma, Colusa and Nevada, and California. and Oregon Railroads, is considered certain, and each will give work té many laborers able districts. The tide of migration is now turning to the northern coast. Marysville, and all the towns on the California Pacific road are lively and’ growing. It was expected that the dis charge of twelve hundred laborers at Mare Isisnd would have an unfavorable effect on Vallejo, but itis said that thé men, being unable to get employ= ment elsewhere, have gone to work to build houses or beautify their homes, and property instead of falling in value has advanced.” TENNESSEE must be a cheerfal country. Occasionally we read of lively sh@oting scrapes and effective honse burnings: and last we hear of a party of merry makers, who, having surrounded the humble cottage of a man, fired a volley into the house, wounding him and ‘his wife. ~“This truly laughable exploit baving been achieved, the merry makers proceeded }to set fire to the house for the purpose of roasting the inmates, in which in tent they were thwarted by some of the unappreciative acighbors of the family. Noclue hus been discovered te the perpetrators oftheir practical joke, but a clue may be afforded to their motives and inspiration when it is said that the man who inhabited the beleagured house was dark colored as to skin, in short he was a Negro. There is a pastoral freshness about all this which will attract emigration to Tennessee. And it wes in this same State that a young lady further exhibited the simplicity of the manners of ja the inhabitants, lately, by’ replying, when: asked to sing: “You. must certainly excuse me, for I never sing. save to warble a few wild notes to cheer my paat-close of day.” A country that can boast of so much poetry and cheerful fun must bea heavenly place indeed. , Hops.—-Mr. Coe, of San Jose, sent a bale of hops te New York lately. They and they pronounce them far superior to the average quality of Eastern hops, and as against the Western hops, the California article has a still a greater preponderance! Last season Mr. Coe raised three hundred and fifty bales of hops on his place; each bale contains two hundred pounds, making an average of two thousand.pounds to the acre. Before receiving his returns from New York, Mr. Cue could scarcely . the obtain twelve and a half cents per pound for his hops, while San Francisco brewers. were paying,in the East, thirty and thirtytwo cents per pound for an time, Mr. C. has sold to brewers in San Francisco one handred bales of hops for twenty-five cents per pound in‘ coin,and last week he shipped to New York j the remainder of his <rop, woe PE of two hundred and fifty bales. eer eres AT a recent Fat Men’ a Convention at vow .

LEGAL ‘TENDERS.—The_ following points bearing upon the currency ques. tion have been decided by the pies States Supreme Conrf. ‘First, Congress had a right to issue paper:money, because that — one mode of authorized borrowing, but that the legal tender character is not necessary tothe right. Secon, “Phat it is unconstitutional to wake paper legal tender in time of ace. Third, That the issae of legal tender in the time of war was under the war power and not under the constitution Fourth, That these war power legal tenders cannot apply to contracts made before the war.
