"Vixcenne’, April 15.—The last rail! on the Ohio and Missippi Railroad was ( laid at three o’clock this afternoon; thus ’ connecting St. Louis and Cincinnati by i iron bands. The ceremonies were wit- J nessed by many prominent gentlemen from St. Louis, Cincinnati, Louisville and i other cities. Everything passed off pleas- : antlv. The first train from Cincinnati,' which left that city at eight o.clock this evening, having witnessed the completion of (his great work ou the route. Great rejoicing is manifested by our i citizens. Ma. Guthrie late Secretary of the Treasury reports that while in office he brought no less than twelve hundred suits ncrainst Government defaulters, whose I aggregate defalcation amounted to over, dollars.

It has yet to be adopted by I another Legislature, and subsequently ratItified by tne people at the polls, before it ■ tean take effect.
