Reports li:\v? reached lis from various sources, , concerning,a inisiimJi'rstaii'iinj or controversy that has occurred between (ioverr.or retry. or j Florida, and Co!, George. W. Call, respecting j the Florida Rail Road Company. As Gov. l'eirv?like many of his constiui- ] ents?is a South Carolinian, and as the Roads which are aflWted hv litis controversy are I watched with anxious interest bv many readers in this city and Sia'e, we give the following o.v j plniialion of tlio matters at issue, as furnished w a correspondent of the Tallahassee Ftori j dian :? Charleston Courier. The act generally known as the internal iiu- j provement law, provides among other tilings, that a line of rail road from Feriuindiua to Tainpa Bay, with a branch to Cedar K-vs, are ^Mtable improvements to he aided l?v the inter- ] Wm improvement fund. The Florida Rail u iad ; 'Company have undertaken to bu:M this line of j Toad, and its branch, and have availed tlieiin j aelves of the benefits of the internal improve inent tuml. Governor Perry therefore insists that'they shall simply carry out in good faiili 'that undertaking, and in order to economize and iprotccl the public funds as far as practicable, he contends that the location of the road should be bo made u|?on the most direct route from Kcrliandina to Tampa Bay, fixing the point of di vergeiice for the branch to Ce far Key at such place upon the main line as will b>->t subserve the interests of the greatest number of the people. To this end the Governor insisted that a part of the road l?ad been improperly located, that instead of running upon the West >ide of Panic's Prairie, it should have been located to run upon --t- - 15 _ j -r .i it : : i c? ,i <me twisi sme or me i rameaeu u.\ me puon ?i divergence for the branch to Cedar Key, at or near Alicanopy, would shorten the roirf to Tampa 1G miles, and add to the length of the Cedar Key branch only 4 miles, making a clear saving to the fund of the entire cost of 12 nitles of road, or about (s.'JQj.OOO) three hundred thousand dollars. The Company, however, declined to change the location as desired by Gov. .Perry, and in lieu thereof, proposed to commence, the work upon the Tampa road at once, and put that part of it included within tthe points of Hatchet's Creek and Alicanopy tuntW immediate contract, &c. I understand, however, that the company, through Mr. Call, have denied making any such proposition, or having entered int<> any agreement with (?<>v. Perry, or otherwise placed themselves under ?ny obligations to build the road to Tampa, as ailedged ; and this constitute* the issue between the parties. [From the San Francisco Herald ] Later from Salt Lake. Below we give some important intelligence from Salt Lake, received by way of Carson Valley, and telegraphed from Sacrumer.to. The mail) fact appears to be that troops attempted to force a passage through E< ho Canon, bu1 w ere unsuccessful. "Sackahento, January 9 ISoS. "Messrs.

Johnston then retreated a short distance to Sulphur HSprings and took the Sublette cut ofF around to the north of Salt Lake to LJold Elder, from which Messrs. Middlelon and Pearson started December 12th. Col. John-don was there at the time with the second and third dragoons -and light artillery, seven six pound and five twelve Paixhans.

We clip j the following paragraph from the I.itiisviiie Courier, of the Oth instant., from which it wiij appear that Gen. Win.

Snow and Slkjbt.?On Thursday night, savs the Greenville Patriot, commenced the n: >st memorable season experienced for-many years in this region. . Snow bygau. falling dtping the niglit, and was soon followed by a continued sleet, which lasted until Saturday morning, robing the forest and the village in the ail wry sheen < f winter. The view presented to the eye of one who looked upon it ns a display of grandeur, was surpassingly hauti ful. On every hand nought was to be seen but the ice sheeted trees with their myriads of stalactites swaying to and fro, and almost jingling a* they sw-jved. To the eve of the imagina live, it presented the idea of some magnificent and extensive fairy groito. Many valuable fruit trees have been utterlv destroyed Shade trees, on which we have gazcd year after year, rapt with their fair proportions ami luxuriant foliage, are now trailing in.the du*t. Under the accumulated weight of their icy apparel, limh by Jimb they have fallen to the earth'; and that which was a feudays ago the pride of our village and thecyuo' sure of those who love the beautiful, is now an unsightly object, scarred from top to root, and in manv cases s'ruck to the earth. Valu able hedges have been rendered almost worthless. The forest walks give terrible evidence ot* the power <>f the Ice king; and in many places the roads were barricaded with broken limbs and fallen trunk?. Few of u? slept unbroken slumbers on Fii. day night. The .sound as of rattling musketry and the distant booming of cannon, as limb after limb parted from its parent stem and struck the ground, indicated unmistakably the work of destruction that was going on without. The damage that lias accrued cannot, of course be reckoned in d-dlars and cents?it is incalculable ; and it will task the ta*te and labor of many years to obliterate the injury that has been sustained in the few days just passed by. xvi .. :.i ... : i it* ,i * tit: itiiu ev.iii u?

A large force, both under the former and present comiactors, has been employed ??n the Stump-house tunnel, with very perceptible tlfeet. In truth, this has been considered the great obstacle to lie completion of thi* magnificent enterprise; and, undei these circumstances, we have noted with deep solicitude the progress that is making. On Saturday last, the workmen in Shaft Yn J ilmve the headini' through to the exc-a vat inn in tlif eastern end of the tunnel. This interesting event wns hailed l?y the op eratives with shouts of applause, equalled only by the cheering that greeted (Jov.

Shaft No. 2, (the deepest) has been sunk to grade, tunnwl size, and the energetic operatives are driving the heading before them with gratifying sueces*. At Shaft No, S. the depth of over one hundred feet has been made. The water here ll >?*? in large quantities, hut the substitution of other machinery will soon lessen this difficulty.

A VAi.fAm.ii Invention-.?Tlie Kalamazoo } (Midi.) (i.azette states that .Mr. E. It. (tali <fj thai city, has lecontly discovered u mode of' applying lever power, which is destined to j bring nhont an o.rtire revolution in the process j ot raising large bodies b\* mechanical means, j The editor of the t?az>*tte saw a weight of1510 , pounds raised hy his madiine, bv the strength of a single coltuu tliread, and states that 'll' the weight had b> en ton times as heavy, the result would have been the sarii >. This discovery con si.-ts in such an application of proper machinery to heavy bodies, mjcIi as locodioiiws, heavy | ca'tings, boats in dockyards, ami ti e like, a-| to procure a balance in tli object il>elf, then ] by rocking the body to and fro on certain stan j (lards or studs, connected villi the machine, [ wedges are inserted with each vibration, >o tiiat J as the rocking goes on, t lie wedges arc con stantlv drawn in and the body raised b\ its own motion. Mr. Bail's const ructionof machinery for this purpose is very ingenious, very simple, ami at the same time entirely efficacious; so that one man can raise a locomotive that gets thrown of the track with as mi eh e ise and rertMinty as he could raise a bucket of water vvi.b a windlass. So heavy pieces of ore may be raided, canal b- uts, engines, and boilers, and in short, anv compact and heavy body to which the machine could be applied.
