Tue Purtic Dest.—Although the receipts | from customs and Internal Revenue have been quite heavy this month, the next statement ot the public debt, to be issued about the first of February, will show a heavy increase, as there was about twenty: millions of dollars in coin taken from the vaults of the Treasury on the Ist instant to pay the semi-annual interest on the 5-20 bonds and the bonds of 1 ‘The expenses of the Government during the mon‘h will probably reach $17,000,000 and the receipts about $27,000,000, or 10,000,000 over theexpen- ditures, but the large amount required on the Ist mstant to pay the interest, causes a heavy imcrease of the debt, and 1 will probably be two or three months before the debt is reduced to the amount it was on the Ist of Jaruary— $2,540, 707,201.25. PRIVATE apvices from Panima, by the latest steamer, report Hon.

It 1s announced in Bogota that the mission of Mr. (. is in the in- terest of the Darien ship canal. but the general impression seems to be that in the present dis- tracted condition of the country nothing defi- Bite can be done in the matter. Another obsta- cle to the enterprise seems to lie in the fact that, on account of the frequent revolutions ia that | country, a grant given by one Government would likely be’worth little or nothing with its successor, which might come into power at any time.

Coz, Aldie, Dear Sin: our letter of the 5th Decem| Was received, and as you observe I took the lib- erty of publishing it in the “Chronicle.” You may well congratulate your section, that a feeling corresponding with your own, bas sprurg up, and whicb, I donbt not, will Tesult in railroad enterprises that will change the prospects of the cities of the District, and coliateraily develope that section of Virginia in which you reside, and that your efforts to this end will be successtul, The citizens of the District of Columbia, with their friends in Congress, and tne people abroad, East and West, have determined that the projected lines of railway shail be put thiougb. Western membeos and their constit- Bents see the importance of the two roads, di- verging from Washington, one to Cmcmaati, ana the other to Cleveland on Lake Erie, not only that easy and quick transit can be bad tor passengers and freights, but it wall setule at ‘once and forever, the question of the perpetui- ty of the National Capital in its present loca- tion The route you propose for the line to Cincin- nati is undoubtedly the one to be chosen, judg- ing from the indications abroad. 1t will, as you say, cost comparatively little to construct such a road. taking in the conrse, from ge oes on the Loudon ard Hampshire road, Aldie, through the Gap, following Little river to the plains in Fauquier county, on the Manassas Gap road, and thence to Staunton, and con- nect with the Chesapeake and Ohio road, of which 240 miles is now built with its western terminus, Cincinnati. With the inducements of trifling cost in this connection to Staunton, the interest is enhanced when you consider that the majority of the capital can be used to assist the Chesapeake and Ubio road (which needs it) to finish their line as projected, quiets their apprebension as to a rival line, and vet directs the trade eastward via Washington ail rail, rather than by Richmond, which it might seek if connections were made near Gordons- ville. In locating 4 railway, it is very neces- sary to look to its resources for freight patron. age. The Philadelphia and Reading road probably carries more tons tu market than pass out of the State of Illinois. Agricultural pa- uonage is limited, whilst mining resources are inexbaustible. A single county underiaid with mineral deposits may be muke to afford more frrights bs ire than all the agrieultural pro- ¢ a State. you exhibit in large figures the pro- anpaually sent to market, and the vaiu- of live stock from the counties of Loudon, Fau- queir, Ciarke, Jetlerson, Berkiey, Page, Au- gusta and others, approximating $5,400,000, it would be but a drop in coinparison to the value of mineral beds, waich now lie, and bave for centuries been undisturbed. Virginia bas more undeveloped wealth in her bosom than the Ual- tfornias, What sbe needs is outlets. She was among the first of States to urge onward the car of progress. She bas everythig which a bountiful nature could supply in the way of soil, climate. and mineral resources. Yet things worked slowly, and she is innocently the vic- tim of precocious enterprise—but it is to be boped a new era is dawning. What Virginia Jost 1p the old system of turnpikes. canals, &c., is being gaimed now by new forces. Foot-paths must give way county roads, county roads to turppikes, turnpikes to canals, canals to rail- Touds. 1 need not say to you that such a road would pay; any judiciousiy located, tairly patronized Tailtosd always does and always will pay a fair interest on,its real cost. Your people, if inelined to take stock to such a road, need not hesitate: the country must be developed—labor given a remunerative employment. Your pro- ducts taken to mar! all that is required is to get the road on a soli nancial basis, and put it om the plan of the greatest freight capact'y, opening it to the equal right of all carriers de- firing to transport over it, dividends will come. and rapidly, to the proprietors. It may be questioned by some, and I am free to contess that the subject is agitating Congress, and the States especially, which will feel first the results of perhaps an innovation, but Con- gress, for self-protection to the Federal Gov- ernment, will exercise the right to build roads, ‘m any direction, through any part of the comain under its jurisdiction, The more railroads vou have the greater the immigration. This secures wealth, fosters enterprise, and develops what bas lain dormant for so many years; eschewing the disunct party lines of the prevent day, accept the broad pinciples of the Democracy of 17%—universal liberty, tree speech, free press: establish schools, encourage domestic manutacture and advance internal improvement.

Mr: Sherman imtrodnced a resolution calling on the Secretary of the Treasury to submit a statement of the amounts paid to the Baltinore and Ohio Railroad for the t ation of troops and freight from 1861 to 1s66, stating amounts paid from Relay House separately, and also rates of said transportation. Mr.Cameron moved an amendment calling for the amount paid to the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad above the amount paid to other rail- Toads for the same services. Adopted. Mr. Whyte moved to incladein the call the the amount paid to the Northern Qentral Kail- may Adopted. T, Cameron said this information relative to the baltimore and Obia Rawlroad had been called for twice witbin the last three years, bat the information had not yet been given. He had understood and believed that the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad had received one-third more than other railroads for the same service. Mr. Henderson said, supposing this state- ment were true, what could do? Could it pass a law compeiling the company to refund? If the resolution was only intended to make an attack on a railroad, he snould op- erg it, as he did not think the Senate ad any necessity to become a party to OfMice; referred this controversy between railroads, and he hoped the Senate would not consent to it. He had heard the remarks of the Senator from Ubio, (Mr. Sherman,) but it had not changed bs mind as to that mighty chonnel of commerce, the Baltimore and Ubio railroad, and asa representative of the great Northwest he felt the benefit which that road had been to bis section, and he could not to assail the rights of those men who had invested their jmoney in this &nd similar enterprises, and he felt the same towards the railroads of New York and other railroads. Mr. Cameron had no personal in this matter but if more money ba: been paid than was Proper, the country must know it. Mr. Sherman had no hostlit; the Baltimore ond Ohio rail batif these excessive sums had been paid, it was proper that the mformation should be had in order to Prevent @ recurrence in the future. Mr. Harlan vould see no implied crime on the Baltimore and (bio railroad by this reso- lution. If that company was paid more for the same service than other companies, it was, of coarse with the eoncurrences of officers ot the Government, and there must have been good reasons for it. ‘Tne morning hour here expired, and the res- olution went over. Mr. Yates introduced a bill to enable the people of Colorade to forma State goverament. Referred to Committee on Territories ‘Thr bill for the reliet of Sue Murphy was then taken up and discuseed.
