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.

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. I
wiH makea few desultory-remarks on some
of these divisions^ ..
1 The-Sist would of coarse be the Execu
tive department under the- President and
Director*.'
2 Tb? Engineers Office.
3 T$fc?Supcrintendant of Graduation and
?
instruction and Repairs.
^ Machinery^
6 Offie&of Transportation.
<^7:Trea sory. ? ? ?*'
W The of each department, ought to be
tieW responsible for every thing done in it.
?To enable them ail to act, under every cir
cumstance, with perfect effect, each ought to
have the- power of selecting all the agents
under him, subject to tiie approbation of the
Executive department. 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. If he
.has the power of selecting the agents under
Jum* and dismissing them for neglect of duty,
T?ti immediate redress, when his
.. ?efen occasioned by misrnan
or misconductof another department,
Ii bave no difficulty in regulating
connected with the receipt and
^ ? rwry article passing through his
be able to give entire satisfac
- 5^0 to" thO company and the public.
To enaHe^the line of transportation to do
jits duty effeettrafty, the Superintendant of Ma.
amfit -not: be behind hand with his.
sfiTthis last has it not in his power, to keep all
bis Locomatwes and Cars in first rate order,
the af&irsof the read must go to destruction.
^ Aa well might it be expected that a ship would
sail ander Jare poles, and without a rudder ;
or ' a. line of stages be carried on without
wheels, and with broken down horses, as a
BU^ road prospefjwithoQt an efficient system of
? construction as well as repairs in the de^
partment of Machinery. 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.
On the Engineers department permit me to
say, that as Capt. eel has infinitely more

experience than any one I have heard of, it
would be but prudent to procure hi4 services
in the location of the road. 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.

The following extracts of letters from two of the
most scientific men in our country, will show-. the
utility of this School.
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;

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. Your most obedient,

FROM A GRADUATE OFTIIE LAST SESSION.
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. * * * * *...*? *

Ellick has been traced as far as Camden, whither he j
went on the stage from Colt nbio,md is undoubtedly i
endeavouring to make his way t'j the city of Haiti [
more, from whence he originally came, and with I
some one there (as has been ascertained from ihc .
Post Olfice in this place) his had correspondence, i
It is supposed that he has free ihijmts, or is making j
off under the protection of some white person, and j
will perhaps pass under the name ol Alexander
?i Thompson , ihnt being the name by which he has
been addressed by his Balti m or p correspondent. ? i
Ellick had no cause whatever for this act of treat-h- '
ery to his master, having always been treated with ,
the greatest kindness and indulgence.
