Under the administration of Jefferson - Con grew had a "Committee on the - memorials concerning Perpetual Mo tion," so says Dr. Samuel Latham Mitchill, at that time a RepresentatiTe from New York, in a letter to his wife, which is published in the April number of Harper's Magazine. He also writes that Jefferson told him that John Adam's administration had a company of U. S. soldiers to blow np with gun powder the. ledge of rock from which Jefferson view ed th passage of the Potomac through the mountains, so that the fine picture given of the same in Jefferson's Notes on Virginia might never be verified by the eves of future tourists. This the good Doctor calls " shameful, vandalic revenge." Among many other interest ing memoranda in these letters, we n tica in the list of oourses at the Presi dent's dinner table that "ice ereams were produced in the form of balls of the frozen material inclosed in covers of warm pantry, exhibiting a curious con trast, as if the ice had just been taken from the even."

The terrible dynasty of reptiles arose and flourished and passed"-away many thousands of years before the advent of man. The huge plesiosaunis and formi dable ichthyosaurus were monarchy of the land and water in the far distant Cretaceous age. Before their ap t proach every animal shuddered and found refuge only in night and conceal- f 3 mf.nl BnL with the asceiidina D'rozre3S of Nature, those abnormal monsters yielded to the St Georges of natural events and are now found fossilised in their rooky beds. As successors to those ancient tyrants, m mis tvuuirj inner tua most lonniaaoie . rank. The power of these monsters is confined to their Jaws, and succumbs very readily to the ingenuity of man. Their congeners and allies in the species of lisards, chameleons, mud puppies and salamanders are perfectly harmless. ' Gifted with a lightning-like rapidity of flight, and in some eases with the power of changing their color according to cir cumstances, these beautiful children of Nature desire nothing further to protect them in the great struggle of life. TJn 1 like the suake, they hove no need for poison saes and fangs, but are provided only with a set of tiny teeth whose great est power is to maim and masticate the million of insects which they annually dastroy. The most beautiful and graceful of all 'the Sanrians are the lizards; not as they glide like arrows of light at-rou the road side, but as they bask quietly under a , flood of sunshine with their scaly qnadrangular-pyramidal heads flashing like plates of burnished silver, their ex tensible tongues, with apex always lifid, bathing in the light and their gracefully elongated tails waving about them like the fabled whips of fairies. I hav hatched many brooJs of these in teresting creatures, but the want of space f compels rue to withhold many curious observations in connection with those experiment. A more harmless, so far as poison secretions are concerned, ' and at the same time a 'more useful animal to the fawner than this dreaded and much detested lizard Cannot be mentioned, ' It acts as a suajeagar in the punnoaUon oi our atmosphere, and ai . the same time checks the undue prolifi eation of the iuseot enemies of the farm.

Wilson. near Icard, and gotten by McCough nafaey and hauled to the road by parties other than railroad hands: I hauled these tie-timbers by order of Maj. Wil son : this lot was all pine, generally of good eixe and good heart, being an average bridge tie some 15 per cent were deficient in heart, and such were used for tunnel timber : all were hauled on material train to Maj. Wilson's Mill near head of rood and sawed by convict labor ; this lot was shipped free ; don't Know wnat Mhj. Wilson was to he paid for them, or whether to be paid for them in the rough or after thev had been sawed ; don't know of any stacking of lumber by railroad hands or the hauling of any lumber free oi charge other than railroad lumber ; I don't know of any ice gotten for Maj. Wilson by railroad hands, but heard him say he intended to have some gotten this winter for his nitro-glycerme manufactory for use next summer ; last year I had a contract with Connelly & Co., at Icard, bv which they inruisued ties to tne road on time at 20 cents a piece for first-class ties ; this' ar ranirement was made ai the tmenrestirm of those who got the ties, they not being able to wan on ins road lor the money, but ConnfelbjDo., being men of means, were able to wait r but little cord-wood was- furnished upon this agreement : same kind of contract was made by me wiui Messrs. JSpps & Simpson and T. A. Seals & Co., at Bridgewater; I don't know whether Maj. Wilson hires any mules, horses and wagons to the railroad company ; ne naa never in any way, as far as I know, 1 influenced any of the railroad employees to yote no one has been rewarded or discharged on account of his vote ; Jesse Brindle was discharg ed as section-master on account of drank - enuess, tnat is to say, I heard Major Wilson say tnat X must look out lor an other section-master as he should have to discharge Brindle on account of drunkenness ; " Maj. Wilson has never ordered me to take np one man's cross- ties in preference to another s, nor do l believe he ever knows of whom I tur- ohase ties nor gives me any order about them, except not to buy more than are absolutely necessary ; from Conover to Salisbury, 50 miles, the cross-ties are generally rotten ; above Conover they are generally good, with enough taken up . to supply the rotten ones ; below Conover I have not the ties, but would hove them to buy and to haul.

Know of no irregularities or mismanage ment on the part of any Officer of this road, bat do know tnat since Mr. H ally burton became Master ef Transporta tion, that freights have been put np on me. Don t know that they have not been put np in like manner on other shippers. I know of no bffioer of this road using his official position to influ ence votes in last August election. Know of nothing affecting the manage ment of this road and implicating any officer. I believe that Major Wilson has done all that any other; person could have done, and that the complaints against him originates in prejudice. O. P. Exwiu.

What amount of money has been ex pended per annum during jthe past two years from Old Fort west in the con struction of the road ? j The following sums have been ex pended : I April 1, to September 80, 1877, $ 9,559 77 October to December 30, 6.678 30 6,97418 4,88815 6,15270 6,40470 January to March, 1878, April to June 80th, j July L, to September, i October to December 81st Makings total of i- 40,15780 Major WOsonJiaf drawn $1,628.83 of his salary. There was due bun on 1st January, 1878, the' sum of $3,500. At the present time the Company is ia ar rears with employees for four months' wages. I How do you account for this ? By the expenditure of money in build ing the road from Henry's west Have any of the Agents during the present administration been found to be ia arrears vith the Company, discharg ed, and if yea, what was the amount and has tbe same been collected? The Agents atMorsanton and at Old Fort were found to be in arrear about $2,700, and are not now in the employ of the Company : the same has not been paid; I report such matters to the Presi dent ; and it then becomes his duty to collect ; the former Agent at StatesvUle wss in arrear about $400, which has not been paid. Are all the Agents of tbe Company re quired to give bond before entering upon the discharge of their duties ; and u yea, wno approves the sufficiency of such bonds ? i Such is the regulation of the Com pany, and the duty of approval is placed on the President During tbe present administration has any Agent of the Company, who is now in the employ of the Company, failed to give bond ? no. Then do I understand you to say that all the present Agents have now bonds on file in yQuroe : and if yea, are said bonds good tu&ver the penalty of the same ? Yes, and I believe them good. wnat is tbe amount or your own bond ? $50,000. Does the fact of the company being in arrear with employees arise from your failure to keep the work in your office properly done and posted up ? it has nothing to do with it Has there, at any time during the present administration, been a failure on your part to keep your books in sucn order as has forked an injury to tbe in terests oi tne tonipany 7 lnere has ntt. Have yen at all times during the pres ent administration kept yeur books pro perly posted 7 I think so. Do you regularly attend at your office? I am in my ofice every day, except when absent on fee business of tbe com pany, and possibly a day or two occa sionally. Has your lauui to attend your omce at any time crowd detrimental to the company ? No, I think not Have you. at any time, during the present administratioe, ordered the pay ment of the same account twice ; u so, in how many instances, and from what cause? i The President is constantly ordering the purchase of various things for the road from merchant in Salisbury. The account for the purchases are forwarded to my omce for payment. About a year ago, among various accounts due Salis bury merchants, there was an account of $50.02 due to a Salisbury merchant, in my office for payment, and approved by the President I was then several months behind in my payments on account of scarcity of funds. The merchant above alluded to, made out a duplicate of his account, and it was paid by the Agent at Salisbury, and was then forwarded to me by the Agent fnf ntn credit- ,n sufficient funds to settle the Salisbury accounts, I sent all the accounts, with funds sufficient to pay, to our Agent at Salisbury, with directions to settle them. Among them was the original, of the ac count which had already been paid, but I woe not aware that both accounts were for the same articles, and in fact did not think of the former account at all. Our Agent at Salisbury offered to pay the account, but the merchant informed him that it had been paid, and the ac count and the meney were returned to me. The company suffered no loss. How often are your accounts -audited, and by whom ? Every three months ; by Mr. J. A. Claywell, the Auditor appointed by the Board of Directors. Does any officer of the company spec ulate directly or indirectly with the funds of the company ? No one does. Does any officer of the company re ceive any pecuniary benefit other than his salary from the treasury of the com pany? No, none at all. , Has Major Wilson furnished to the Railroad Company any cross-ties, saw logs, cord-wood and trestle-timber, and if so, what pay has he received for the same, and why were they not purchased from other persons ? I do not know of my own knowledge whether he has or not ; but if he h;is. ,no bill has been presented and no money has been paid him on such account 1 am informed and believe that he has furnished such articles -on 'the line of construction. They were not purchased from other persona because the company had not sufficient means to buy them, and Major Wilson snpplied this neces sary wsnt on song credit to enable the work to go on. t Do yon know of Major Wilson's hav ing furnished mules and carts to the company; if so on what terms 1 Major Wilson has furnished some mules snel sm ts ti the line of construc tion. I was pressnt when the contract a verbal one wss made by aim with the Directory, whioh was as fellows, viz: Major Wilson greed to furnish the mules sad carta and leave it to the Board of Directors to fix the price be should receive ; they took the opinion of two old rvlroad contractors and fixed the same at 25 cents per diem for each male and eart the company agreeing to feed tin mules and keep the carts in repair. ' Major Wilson has received on thissosjBt288.
