Proceedings of the Assembly—Railway Papers— or Ignorance--New Issue of Provincial Paper— Bill Authorizing Contracts for Railway Objects —Laoan for Effecting Them— Anticipated Fun in the Legislative Cowncil. Since I last wrote, the Assembly hag had laid be- fore them the railway papers, &c., introduced by Mr. Howe, and have been in committee on Mr. Johnson's Municipal Incorporation act, the first clause of which makes it imperative on every county of the province to accept the provisions of the bill. It was supported by the Provincial Secretary, although emanating from the leader of the opposition, and by members on both sides of the House, which I hope is an indication that at last both parties arc about to unite their efforts for the promotion of the public good. Subsequently, on motion of the Speaker, all the Cape Breton, and some ef the Western members of the old school, the bill was referred to aselect com- | mittee, to accept or reject the conditions of the bill. ‘This decision was unlooked for, and fully evinces the fact that the great mass of the people—or otherwise they are misrepresented—are not yet educated up toa full appreciation of a measure which would so inaterially increase their politica! powers. On Thursday Mr. Howe submitted four bills relat- ing to the government railway scheme. The first of theve authorizes the cashier of the Savings Bank to receive into that institution $400,000 in addition to the amount now deposited therein, and provides that “all the funds received under the act shall be applied in payment of any suns due by the govern- ment of the province, for and on account of railways constructed within the same,” and places funds at the dispocal of the cashier, to enable him to meet any demands that may be made upon the bank. ‘the second act authorizes the issue of $400,000 in provincial notes, in addition to the amount at pre- se..t in circulation—about $300,000—redeemable in god or silver, or in notes of specie paying banks; the notes to be issued to be applied in payment of debts incurred in the construction of railroads. The third makes it lawful for the Governor in Council to authorize the construction of the three lines of rail- road, with contractors of skill, experience and re- sources, who will advance at least one-third of the capital required to complete them, and provides for the payment of the other two-thirds from the general revenue of the province, or any other funds to be bor- rowed on its credit. The fourth bill authorizes the contracting of a loan, on the pledge of the revenue of the province arising from the duties upon imports, the sale of crown lands, the royalty paid by miners, or the tolls collected on the works to be constructed, to the extent of $3,200,000; debentures to be issued as the work pro- ceeds, bearing interest not exceeding six per cent; the city of Halifax being considered as taking stock to the amount of $400,000, for the interest of which an annual assessment is to be levied. These bills, I have no doubt, will be carried by large majorities, and then will be the commencement of prosperity for Nova Scotia. The tive Council have not yet got into business. When they do we may anticipate some fun, the government having last year taken the re- sponsibility of advancing the members’ pay, the ‘ouncil having refused to make provision therefor | unless they themselves were included—a very nice family quarrel. The Hon. Mr. Allison has already for information upon the subjeet. I shall write again when anything worth writing about transpires. G. Our Balthmore Correspondence. Battimore, Feb. 8, 1853. The Washington Train of Cars Fired into—Nar- row Escape of some of the Passengers. One of the most daring and cold-blooded as- | Saults that was ever perpetrated, was made upon the paasenger train which left this city for Wash- ington, on Monday evening at seven o'clock. When near Baltsville, the train at the time proceed- ing at the rate of thirty miles an hour, the crack of arifle was distinctly heard by the conductor and many of the passengers, and some missile was at the same instant hurled through one of the cars at about its centre. On examination, it was clearly found to have been a bullet, having passed through one of the windows, breaking the glass, and taking of small piece of the sash in as smooth a manner as could have been done with a sharp instfument, and through the window on the opposite side. A dy, sitting on the side where it entered, heard the ball whistle by her head, and it must have passed within a few inches of the breast of a gentleman who Kev apd the opposite seat, but who at the moment, was In an Ee peaete which circumstance un- jonably saved bis life. In fact, both he and the had a most miraculous escape from instant death. Allin the cars were of course in imminent a ay The only explanation yet suggested as to this savage and fiendish act is, that on Saturday night last, the same train ran over and killed some cattle, not far from the same place, and the company having always refused to pay for snch damages, it is sus- pected that sonre interested demon intended to shoot the engineer; bnt the train being in rapid motion, the ball took effect farther back, thus jeopardizing the lives of innocent and unsuspecting passengers. It is to be hoped that the company will spare no poles or expense to detect the villain, by offering a envy reward, and adopting every other means in their power. Flood in the Susquehanna BRIDGES CARRIED AWAY—GREAT DESTRUCTION OF A dent of tie. Philndetph’ correspondent of the Philade Bulletin, writi under date of Harrisburg, Deo. 10, says ae The flocd in the Susqnehanna, which did so mueh da- mage here, proves, a8 was feared, to have been muci more destructive higher up the river. The waters have been so high that no ecmmunication could be had with the region that suffered rast, and the telegraph being carried away aleo, the following account, obtained from the first passenger who has been able to reach this placo from Sunbury, gives the first particulars of the flood. The rains that fell in the latter part of last week caused 4 rise in both the North and West branches, as well as in all their tributaries. It comm on Saturday, and rose with unprecedented rapidity, nntil hoth rivera ‘were running furiously, and {he main'river was swollen im- mensely. Pine, Lycoming and Loyalsock creeks were higher’ than ever known. The West branch, however, was not so high as it was two years ago, Fortunately Sunday night being very cold, tlie flood was checked, or the damaze might have been much more extensive. The Jette of the damage, as far as known, are as follows :-— The bridges on the Williameport and Fimira Railroad are swept awsy. They were oll and to be rebuflt at any rate. ‘The road bridge over the Su<qnehanna, at Jersey Shore, waraweptaway. One-half of it lodged about four miles above Williamsport, and the other was carried against the bridge at Williamsport, which was knocked come eight feet out of line on the western span. That it was not carried away is a miracle, and its ability to resist the shock and the continued flood does great credit to Mr. Feries, the builier. ‘The Pine Creck acqueduet was also carried away and lodged against the Williamsport bridge. It was a new structure, only two spans being up. Mr. Kelton, the supervisor, is confident that it can be rebuilt in time for the opening of navigation. The bridge across the Shamokin, below Sunbury, was carried away, and floated down to Duncan's fala Another bridge across the Sharnokin, on the road fr Sunbury to Fottsville, was also carried away. The new State locks in the canal at Northumberland were entirely inundated, but it was believed they were not much damaged. The canal banks had to be broken in various places, to let the water run off into the river. In Williamsport the cellars in the lowor patt of the town were filled with water, but no matorial damage was done, No houses were swept away, and no lives lost, as far os heardfrom. The people were waiting with much anxiety for accounts from above, but the roads being fiocded there bad been no communication, From Satur: day until Tuesday no stages had arrived at elther Northum befland or Willlamsport, Many logs were carried away by the flood, but most of them will be recovered. There nus, fortunately, no jee in the river, or the destruction would have been much greater. . . Law Lonaess NEE Supreme Coury of tie Usivep Stamm, Febroary §,—No. 50. B. D.

The place of meeting was therefore changed to Albiquiu, and the day tothe 14th of November. About tour hun- dred warriors and one hundred women and children were in attendance at the time and place appointed, and presents to the value of about three thonsand dollars distributed to them. Among the Va Tinie tions to meet them, on the part of the United States, no troops or escort were included. This was thought hazardous by many, in view of the fact that the Utabs are a wild tribe; the result, however, is re- garded as proving that the plan adopted was alto- gether the best. One advantage, at least, appears obvious, in the far more than ordinary candor and freedom of speech uted by the Indians on the occa- sion, whereby the government is enabled to ascer- tain more decidedly their genuine thoughts and feel- ings. At the entrance of these Indians into Albiquiu, the sight is reported to have been imposing. They dashed in on horseback, prancing and charging, fir- ing their gums, and singing their war songs until they had reached the quarters prepared for their recep- tion, After the Aistribution of flour among them, with plenty of good beef and mutton, killed specially for their use, on which they all feasted to their hearts’ content, the council] commenced, Acting Agent Grenier telling them— ‘That their Great Father, the President of the United States, was well pleased with his red children, aud that he wished to have s few presents made to them on account of their good behavior during the past year. He hoped they might long continue to live on such friendly terms, and that they would soon begin to build themselves houses, quit their rowing way of life, und provide subsis- tence for themselves, their wives and children, by culti- yating the soil. If they would do this they would soon find themselves living more independently than now, and with far more comfort and happiness. ‘A fort had been established in their country not only to protect the citi- | zens of New Mexico, but also to defend the Utahs from the depredations of the Kiowas, Arrapahoos, and Cuey- ennes, It-was to be hoped the Utahs would not cross the Arkansas to fight; it was much better to be at peace. ‘the friendly relations now subsisting betweon the citizens and tho Indiana of New Mexico he hoped would continue, and that neither paity would ever consider itself justided in making war. f Con1acut, the Captain of the Utahs, replied:— My people cannot live as the Americans live; it was never intended they should. The country ix not calcu- laied for it. The mountains are sterile, and cannot be cultivated. ‘The valleys were made to feed our animals. The game supplies us with food, and the skins of the deer and the Puffato keep us warm in winter. We do not like work; we prefer riding our horses where we please; and we do not wish to live in houses. When one ofour people dies we burn the house in which he lived, and destroy all the property that belonged to him, so that he may haye the use of it in the strange coun- try to which he haa gone. If we were to build ourselves houses we should always have to be building, for many of our people die, Our hands are too soft to work. Our women have as mueh work as they can do; wiy, then, should they have more? Our Great Father, the President, has been very kind to us; he has given us four and meat to ex!, and blankets to wear, and our hearts are swelling with gratitude. We are all disposed to re- rd the counsel to which we have listened, and to obey e orders of our Great Father, but we fear he has not the confidence in us he ought to have, or he would give us some powder and lead. We want it to kill game with. The flour and beef that we have received are very good; but give us powder and lead and then we can rovide for our familics by hunting. Some of our people have been to the fort near the Sierra Blanca, (Fort Massachusetts), and they have been kindly treated. But the fort does us no i. There are five passes through the mountains to the prairie count: % and it isnot near any one of them. The Prairie Indians have committed many depredations upon our people, and we are told we must not make war. We do not wish to have our hands bound together, whea our enemies are permitted to steal our stock and murder our wives and children. If weare not to make war, we ahall expect the Americans at the fort to protect us and our property. We fear the Americana care more for the Kiowas and Cheyennes than they do for the Utahs, for many of them are married, and have children upon’ the prairies, but the Utahs have no palefaced children. Having received the presents, the Indians made Eee to return to their homes, highly pleased with the treatment they had met with, and p! edging themselves faithfully to observe the treaty made wit! the government of the United States, American Genius.

On the succoceing day religious services were performed at the residence of her son, Mr. Devid Elliot, where she resides, in commemora- tion of the event, an interesting account of which is bea by the Statesman, from which we make the following extract:— “Lydia Goodwin (now Mrs. Joseph Elliot) was born in territory once called Salisbury Newton, (now Newton, inthis State,) January 30, 1763. She married Mr. Elliot in 1773, and they removed to Concord in Feb. 1779. She was of a family of nine children— two sons and seven daughters, One of her brothers became a soldier in the French war, and died at 22 years of age, and a sister died when only four years old. Of the others, Samuel died in Northfield, when more than 97 years of age; Molly died in Concord, Ca Sally in Candia, aged 99 and 8 months; jizabeth lived to be 77; Hannah died at 50, and Ju- dith is now living in London, aged 96. Of the six daughters who married, all survived their husbands, and no one married a second time. The husband of Mrs. Lydia Elliot, the subject of this notice, died about forty years ago. She had eleven children, all of whom reached mature eee and ten were mar- ried. Fouronly are now living. Her grand-children number seventy, her great-grand-children one hun- dred, and of the fifth generation there are known to be at least eight. Her son, Mr. David Elliot, at whose dwelling these services took place, is seventy- five years of age, although his appearance indicates @ person of but little over sixty. It is a long-lived family, as preceding facts make very certain.’ Tur Wi. or Generar Wasurnetox.—A pe- titlon was presented to the Virginia Legislature, on Tuesday, trom Alfred Moss, clerk of the county court of Fairfax, authorizing him to carry ont of the commonwealth the original will of General George Washington, for the ngpose of having it lithogreph- ed, accompanied by a letter approbatory thereof from G.
