Mr- Parks moved to lay the petition on the -4a die. . " The Speaker said that the motion was not in order, bat that a motion to lay the question of reception on the table would be in order* Mr. Parks then made a motion to that ef> feet, on whieh, on motion of Mr. Read, the yetg andisays were derfjanded* Decided in the affirmative, yeas 130, noes 69. Mr. Pinckney wished to know if he should vote ave. The Speaker said it was- not in order to seek explanations during the calling of the yeas and nays. Mr. Adams then observed that if was not the petition laid on the table, but the motion not to receive. He gave notice that he should call op petition every day until the ques tion of reception should be decided. A Mr. Pincknev rose to a question of order. Mr. Adams then stated that he had a peti tion lo present from 200 women of his district, praying the abolition of slavery in the Dis trict. ' Mr. Pincknev rose to a question of order. Tha Speaker said that the gentleman from Massachusetts was in order. That he was in possession of the floor, and had a right to state the sebstance of the petition. Another question of order was made by Mr. Chambers of Kentucky , that no gentleman had a right in giving a statement of the contents ot a petigon to read the samp. The Speaker decided the point of order ' tn accordance with the motion of Mr. Cham- j ben. Mr. Adams said that as he intended to ap- j peal from the decision of the Speaker, he de- i TGStrfFStf tflat the pomt of order made, and the i Speaker's decision, . should be reduced to j mtne. ? , , . air. chambers of Kentucky, thought that | the question of order involved an important principle, whether an individual should be al lowed to do by indirection, that which he was prohibitedi>y the rules of the House. Messrs. JJriggs and Harper gave their views in relation to the point of order. Mr. Adams* contended that he was strictly complving with the rules of the house, in mak ing a brief statement of the contents. The petition was so brief that it could not weli be rendered more so. Mr. Adams said he would withdraw his appeal if the gentleman from Kentucky would allow him to read the very lines which would conclude the petition. There seeming to be an assent on the part of the Houses Mr. Adams proceeded to read the remainder of the petition, which he finish ed under repeated cries of order, order. The lines read by Mr. Adams, contained a decla ration of the signers, that they should present the same petition annually. A confused 'conversati'on took place, and Mr. Boon withdrew his motion to lay the ques. tion of reception on the table. Mr. Mann, of New York, made a few re marks, aad moved the previous question. Thus leaving the main question to be on the recep tion of the petition. * On this, the yeas and nays were called. Mr. Gariand of Louisiana, moved a call of the house, which was not sustained. The Clerk was calling the house on the yeas and nays when our paper went to press. - ? COMMUNICATIONS. TO THE STOCKHOLDERS OF THE CHARLESTON, LOU ISVILLE AND CINCINNATI RAIL ROAD. ON THE MANAGEMENT OF RAIL ROADS. It would be needless to observe to- men of your intelligence, that System in the early ar rangements of oar operations, will be of as much importance to us as money, were it not that we, all of us, are continually overlooking this very rsasfttiaU to^ttisite ia husmeesr aad falling into the most glaring neglect of it. The fact is that wantof system acd method is peculiar to our Soothern country ; and yet without these, the most exteosive and useful underta kings, will fall into early and irretrievable de c* w*ost convenient and systematic ar>? it I have yet heard of, has been to operations of extensive Rail- Roads amongst various departments, giving to each a fcmited b&t energetic supenntendency.

For instance, the SoperiB lendant of Transportation cannot be frmk responsible for the arrival and departure ?oTHfee9of cars, unless he can depend upon raj* those through whose bands the details of rtfco bosifte8B, re&?ive to his department, pass * daily and hourly, nor unless he can look with ^confidence to the heads of departments, for the steady and faithful discharge of every ~ Araa^ C^iating along the whole line.

To rely upon Loco^ motives from abroad, io this part of the world, is to place ourselves dependant upon the ele ments, and at the mercy of those who have no other motives to aid Us, but the mere com ' mon one of selling an article. If we establish a manufactory of locomotives of our own, we may set winds and waves and foreign workmen at defiance. The reputation of our Superin tendant of Machinery and of all his workmen, wHl be embarked in the creon. and character of oar road, and will travel fcr and wide in proportion to its usefulness. No road of any extent can go on without this arrangement within itself, and I take the lib erty of impressing it upon your minds, thus early, that we may be all in search of such men, as will nor only be useful to us but cre ditable to oar institutions and to our country.

There are many gaps by which we can pass through the mountains on a practicable grade of road ; but this in our case perhaps is one oft he least considerations- The great expense of gra ding are construction on steep and rocky mountain sides, of passing ravines and creeks issuing out of themof passing and repassing the very water courses themselves, we shall be compelled to follow, the great axpense of viaducts supported from appalling depths, perhaps that of tunnelling ? all these consti^ tute items of cost which require the help of the experienced and judgement of the most able men we can find. I have traversed these mountain scenes with the Engineers and know the difficulties. With Capt. M'Neeil's advice and the Superintendence of an active, intelligent, and judicious Engineer attached especially to our work, we have reason to hope for the most fortunate results. Without the aid of great experience in this particular department, we may be led into the most fatal errors and into the most rainous expense. A STOCKHOLDER. To the Stockholders of the Charleston Louis - - xiUe and Cincinnati Rail Road. ON THE MANAGEMENT OF RAIL ROADS. Led, by the deepest conviction of the vital importance of this undertakig to our whole country ? by my anxiety to contribute, some thing tiiat may possibly be of use to those who are embarked in it, and of others of a similar kind ; I have, with too little reflection, per haps, thrown these crude and disjointed hints before you. It has been done also, to induce others to collect information on every subject connected with our vast plan. I will con clude with some few remarks on the Execu tive department, which are these. - As ail orders ought to emanate from it, and be conveyed to the heads of other de partments, the ^embers of it ought seldom to interfere personally with details: 1 mean they ought- rarely r m^rwriooking ihe -management of the road, to give a single order, excepting through the head of the department whose office it is to regulate the matter in question. To do so, is to take off his responsibility, and very probably overset some part of a highly necessary operation. It would be most useful however, that strne one or more of the beads of every rail road should be continually on the road ? a weekly committee for instance ? for even the most active and efficient agents can not be every where, and we all every one of us in life, are the better of being looked afler. The inferior agents will frequently be idle ? will be absent from their posts : waiting until the bell rings for the gears to set off, before they got * the steam up, or arrange the cars in their order for the road. At inclined planes they will make known how many weight cars to put to counterbaU ance ihe line cars, and these have to keep the rope stretched by manual labor. The steam will fail, while the cars are yet far from the Lop of the height, thus endangering the lives and limbs of the passengers. The rope, on which the lives of thousands is to be suspend ed, will be suffered to drag along, and chan nel out the ground, instead of Wng kepi on its rollers ; and when the cars have passed onward, will lie in folds on the earth neglect ed and rotting , while the stationary enjsjine will be abandoned until wanted again, instead of being placed in a state of readiness. Time, so precious to every man of business, and especially to traders, will no longer be a con sideration, and our road will be abandoned by every wise and prudent man who can send his friend or his family in another direction. In what way are we to avoid evils that must destroy us, aod deeply, most deeply injure the whole community ! By practising from the begrnning of our career SYSTEM ; METH OD, VIGILANCE, ENERGY, in the train of which will follow ECONOMY. These introduced at-first, and continued while we exist -is a company, will lead to usefulness, to favourable distinction, and to profit. W ithout them we had better abandon all thoughts of this, as well as every other State improve ment, and settle down once more into the mere drowsy condition we were in half a century ago.

Frankfort, July Kth. Dear Sir ? The four, young gentlemen from the Georgetown Mathematical School, whoare engaf JH. zs assistants in the Engineer corps of the Sta e^ have performed the duties assigned tiicro in a veiyV satisfactory mnuiier. Among the young geut!?tr.en of my acquaintance who have embraced the Pro fession of Civil Engineering, those who have been educated at Mathematical Sehools have generally succeeded better than the graduates of our com mon Colleges. A knowledge of Mineralogy and Chemistry is of fjreat advantage to the Engineer; and it is absolute y necessary that he should bo -acouainicd with Architectural or Linp Ura^Fit^ Student ] should be taught the principles'of construction at the same time be is taught to make h^ dwwing. ? Very re spec: fully, Your obedient servant; SYLVESTER WELCH*. (Engineer in Chief for the State of Ivy.) To T. F. JOHNSON, Esq. Professor of Civil Eiigineerl/ig, Gtwgeioirn Ky. Louisville, July 23th, 1S36. Sir ? It affords me pleasure 10 testify to the very correct and satisfactory manner in which the two young gentlemen from your School have conducted themselvs during the time they have been in the service ; and the ability manifested by the prompt and skilful.discharge oT th'iir several duties, is alike creditable to them and the character of the institution in which they were instructed. The Books comprised in your course of studies are appropriate and well selected. 1 am pleased to heaTthat Topographical and Architectural Drawing is to form a part of your future course. This is an elegant accomplishment to :tn Engineer, and in the early part of his career will frequently bring him into notice and hasten his promotion to more respon ble stations, where his talents may be fully devel oped. Appreciating as I do your efforts to elevate the i profession, I trust they will be crowned with success, ! and I assure you it will afford me very great plea sure to render any aid in my power to second your views.

Inmanapoli ?, Oct. I83G. Dear Sir. * * * We are about to commence the location of a Canal, 34 miles in length, to meet the Central Canal, which will take us till late in thB fall- I am perfectly satisfied w ith my situation, and shall never regret the money spent in obtaining it. I consider the fact of my having attended your school one Ses sion to have saved meat least three years hard la bour, for it would have required that tirfte (had 1 not joined your Class) to qualify me for the discharge of the duties I now have on hand. I believe this is the opinion of each member of the class which gradua ted last Session. Respectfully yours, ?fcc. From a Correspondent of one of the Students. | Geneva, N. Y. Oct. 2lUh, 183f>. Your intention of going to Georgetown, Ky. is, I think an admirable one, and you would be very much to blame, not to go through with it ? for, lrom all accounts, the School in Georgetown is better adap ted for preparing Engineers tlian any other in the United States. I have spoken to several Ehgmceis on the Subject and they all|agree in recommencing it strongly. * * * * *...*? * January 14 2 $1000 REWARD.
