road on the route, either as to the physical difficulties
to be overcome or the cost of its construction within reasonable limits; ond they feel confident that any ultimate decision of the Board, must be in favor of that
! character of improvement, but as the survey was in- ; complete, and at the time the report was made, a Prin- ' ciual Engineer on roads and rail-ways had been era-
i ployed, the subject was submitted to him, for at least a j cursor v examination. To have pronounced, as a
j Board, upon its absolute practicability, without a thor-;ou-h examination, might have exposed (hem to the charge of acting rashlv, on one of the most important
questions enti listed to them, and left the public mind
unsettled a to the usefulness and and practicability of ! the contemplated work. As soon as the Principal Engineer on roads shall report to the President of the Board that a rail road is practicable, he is instructed by iibcl'oaid. without further orders, to put 20 miles of the same forthwith under contract." j At the meeting of the Board in June last, Mr. Petit l the Principal Engineer on Kail ways and Roads, presented a report, the etlect of which was, to induce an ; abandonment, of the idea, that a Rail Road could be ; constructed on the route, within any reasonable amount ; of expenditure; and an order was made, in reierence to it, preparitorv to letting it as a McAdami.cd Road.
At the present meeting, Mr. Petit asked and obtained leave to resign his situation as Principal Road Engineer. His report was attacked. its correctness denied and its fidelity questioned. The Board did not feel themselves competent to examine, fully and advisedly, into the contradictions of conflicting professional ieports, and not having that kind of evidence, to guide ( them safely in a matter of such importance, determined t; avail themselves of such aid, as to ensure a more
enlightened eoncluson. To attain desired end, the office ufPiincipal Engineeron Rail ways and Roads, is abolished.and one principal Engineer (J. L. Williams Esq.) is appointed for the State. The manner in which it is hoped this vexed question will be settled, will be seen by the follawing order of the Boaid. " iVWir ( : That the Principal Engineer, (Mr.
W illiams) be and he is hereby authorized, to select, , iVuiii any of the adjoining States, too civil Engineers, oft MublUhed reputation, who together with the said Principal Engineer, shall, as a BoarJ of Engineers proceed to examine the route of the Jetfersouville and . ( 'iaw fnrdsville lioad, together with all the estimates
done; and that is, by retracing their steps, and doing it
at once. They have driven the car of btate into a
morass, in which by every convulsive effort to drag it
out, they plunge it only deeper and deeper. There is
neither road nor solid ground in the direction in which
they are passing on. Before them, and on all sides ol them, is awildeness of quicksands, vast as the Serbornian bog of old, "where armies whole have sunk." There is no safety nor any hope for them but in retreat-
The only path by which they can retreat is that by which they advanced to where they, are, and returning upon that, they will arrive at the point from which
they started, and may sot out again in the safe road which, in the intoxication and vanity of power, they wilfully departed from. This is our second conclusion.
The course which wc recommend is so obviously the dictate of common sense, that even a dum beast, placed in the paepicamcnt of the Administration, would,; through the mere force of instinct, undoubtedly follow ! it. And it really maves one's compassion to see the in- J finity of labor and ingenuity 'which those w ho hoi 1 the ! reins are exerting to keep the machine of State frim being foundered altogether, rather than resort to thej obvious means of lighting and swuing it. This perse-!
verance in preposterous experiments, to trv how much j
quackery, in addition to actual suffering, the People can 1
Lear, is inadvess itself, or it is worse. I This is our lliird conclusion. Wc have some others. ! w hich perhaps we may have time to commit to paper j hereafter. Salionul Intel It encer. i

Wed.nt.sday Septb.mbkr 6, 1U37. IN SENATE I Mr. HUBBARD moved such an amendment of the j rules of the Senate as would provide for the election ot'! a standing committee on Patents and the Patent Ollice.. and asked for its consideration at this time. Mr. CLAY expressed a w ish that the motion should lie on the table, as usual, till to-morrow. No man, he' said, hud come with greater reluctance than he, to at-;
tend this special meeting of Congress; but, as Congress '. r was now as.-tCmbh d, to take into consideration the em- i
barrasscd ondtUon of the country, lie would be still more reluctant to re'urn home till he should sec some broad, comprehensive, arid effectual relief provided for the embarrassments of the currency and the distress of the currency.
But he w ished to ask what w as the de.-ign of appointing all the g.neial committees at this session, if its proceedings were to be limited, a- the President's M.-s.ie had intimated, to the special subject for which Congress was assembled, lftheie was nothing lobe done on these general subjects, what could bet ho use of appointing committees to consider them?
