THE RAIL ROAD SURVEYS. Erroneous impressions seem to have been spread abroad in relation to the Rail Road surveys now about to be made in this state. Some have supposed that the parties now preparing to make the surveys were sent by the General Government and that their expenses are to be paid by the United States, while

others seem to think they arc to be made under a special act of the late session of Congress. These impressions may, perhaps, have beenmadc by the Circulars of some of our members of Congress. The facts are these: During the late session of our Gcneral Assembly, in the attempts made to adopt a gen eral system of internal improvement, the friends of tne several canal and rail road projects urged their respective claims and importance with great zeal, but.in the absence of such information as was requisite toenable the Legislature tqact advisedly in determiningas to their practicability no decision could be made. That a proper selection .might be made out of the various routes proposed, a number of sur- . vcys were authorized. Those on the proposed canal lines were directed to be made under the superintendence of the Canal Commissioners, and the Governor was authorized and directed to procure surveys to be made with a view of ascertaining the practicability of Rail ways from Lawrenccburgh to Indianapolis, from Madison to Lafayette, from New Albany to Crawfordsville, and from Evansville to Vincennes and to Terre Haute, and a turnpike road from New Albany to Vincennes; the whole embracing between six and seven hundred miles, the whole of which are to be completed by the com- ' menccment of the next session of the Legislature. To enable the Governor to comply with the requirements of the Legislature it was- necessary to take immediate steps to procure the services of competent Engineers from beyond the mountains (there being none in the west) to commence the work at the opening of spring. For that purpose an agent (C. U. Smith Esq.) was requested to proceed to Washington with letters to our delegation in Congress inviting them to unite in an application to the Executive Department of the general government for Engi neers, and in the event that the united application of the Governor and members of Congress 6hould fail, Mr. Smith was authorized to go into Maryland, Pennsylvania, or elsewhere to procure the m. Our members, in accordance with the request of the Governor, made application to the Secretary of War who promised that Engineers should be detailed to perform the work, and Mr. Smith left Washington under the expectation that the Engineers promised would arrive early in April, but to provide against every contingency he engaged Col. Stansbury to superintend the surveys, and authorized him, in case the government should not send the Engineers promised, to make up the principals and assistants for four .parties. In the "second week of April, about the time the Engineers were expected to arrive, the Governor received a letter from Col. Stansbury informing him that the Secretary of War had determined that he could not send the Engineers promised, and that, according to the arrangements made by Mr. Smith, he (Col. Stansbury) was making up the parties. He arrrived in the latter part of, April with the Engineers employed in behalf of the state and is now placing the parties upon the lines under1 a letter of instructions from the Governor, beginning nt Lawrenceburgh, Madison, New-Albany, and Evansville, and if arrangements can be made a fifth party will be placed on the N. Albany & Vincennes turnpike. The tents and other camp equipage are furnished by the state and the whole of the work is to be done at her expense & not at the expense of the general government as has been erroneously stated. ' jndiana is not so fortunate as to participate largely in the bounty of the general government. Should the canal from this place to the Falls of the Ohio, an examination of which is now being made under the .direction of the Canal Commissioners, be ascertained to be impracticable, a Rail Road route is to be surveyed from the Falls to Columbus. Such is about a true state of the facts in relation to these surveys. Ind. Journal. From Niles' Register, April 4. Great improvement on Pail ways. The Gazette of Wednesday says: "We noticed in December last tho successful attempt to pas9 a locomotive sfeam engine, by its own power,witha moderate load attached to it, over the inclined planes at Parr's Ridge, on the Baltimore and Ohio Rail ,Road; one of which has an acclivity of about two hundred and sixty feet in a mile. Since that time ihe successful running of the locornotivo engine, during a season well adapted to furnish full opportunity to test all kinds of difficulties that might be caused by the weather has resulted in the satisfactory and entire conviction,that locomotive steam engines can be constructed on the plan adopted and now pursued, at the manufactory of machinery ofthe Baltimore and Ohio rail road company in this city, each of which engines, with the use of anthracite coal as fuel, will bo capable of transporting, with certainty and safety, one hundred passengers with the requisite cars to contain them, up an inclined plane ascending one hundred feet in tho mile, at the rate of ten miles an hour. This triumphant and highly important result furnishes additional evidence, in this nge of wonderful discoveries, of what may be accomplished by the use of steam power the extent of which it is almost impossible even to imagine as every month, every week, brings to view, and into practical use, some new benefit conferred ou man by tho aid of this powerful agent. "The obvious benefits, and they may truly be said to be immense in their extent which will be derived from the result thus ascertained, are, great reduction in the expense of graduating the road beds on most routes for rail-ways, which, in countries even moderately undulating, will probably be at least fifty per cent and great increase of prac tical routes for the location of rail-ways capable of being used beneficially without the aid ot stationa ry power. It is now believed to be not merely probable, but in fact beyond a reasonable .doubt that a route will be found on examination, for the continuance ofthe Baltimore and Ohio rail road to the Ohio river, free from all inclined planes that may not be passed over without the aid of station ary power. It is also not less confidently believed, tnai passengers can be conveyed the whole dis tance in each direction in twenty-four hours." . Death of a felon. Some time since, James Ow en was convicted at Hamilton, Upper Canada, of the murder ot a man by the name of Foran. and was to have expiated his offence on the gallows, dunj) the present monin; out lor soma cause mv " known to us, the Executive saw fit to remit the execution of the sentence, and commuted the punishment for an abandonment of the Province. When - this order was received by tho jailor, it was communicated to the prisoner. There was a proviso in the pardon, that he should give bail for the performance on his part, to remove, and never to return. He insisted on an immediate and unconditional release; and the jailor's remonstrating with him, he became frantic, and violently assaulted both him and bis assistants. His rage was so gTeat, that tho keeper was obliged, in self-defence, to strike him several times, and to confine him in irons. This exasperated him to such a degree, that it was with great difficulty that tho chains could be fastened on hie limbs, and when that was effected, he laid himself upon his pallet, and was i&stantly a corpse.
