K UNITED STAJES. It is a matter of legitimate pride and congratulation to the American people .that their comparatively infant country should already be accommodated with a r larger amount of railway communication than any other country in the world, j. It is ,i ditlieult to believe that, this can the 'case itthat a nation which wail fighting for its ery! birth only seventy years ago, should i trsdv Imv'M riiitvf rinni'fl din hnnrv nn. ions of the Old World in the Successful employment of these most important aux- hancs to civilization, refinement and so ial : happiness. ' On the first of January last, there were bis thousand ! four hundred and twenty one i0.42lV miles of rail laid in the Uni- t ied States, and in operation. . In the United Kingdom of G reat Britain and Ireland there were only four thousand four hundred and twenty ; less than in the .United States just two thousand and one jj miles. ; France there were one jhousand tvyo hundred and fifty ; in Ger ; nanythree) hundred and seventy ; and in he ' rcit of Europe, only sixteen hundred nd Iwentyj-eight miles. It is worthy of being borne in mind, hat none of the railroads in the United States have received jany aid from the jeneral Government, while there scarce- ' ly One in operation. in Europe, which has j not pecn chieIJy,it not entirely built at I ihe public expense. Many, or rat her some ! of our roads have received the aid of the State Governments, Jut probably the ivhole amount of public money invested In this kind of property, does not exceed, it equals two per ceryf, upon the aggre gate ; amount of railroad capital in the rnited States., ? Iuahis connexion, it linay be interesting o compare the cost, of toads in England ranee with those in this countrv. to i j m . . j ce ynether the difTerencc may not sug- estiKotno prolttable inferences.

Signed by the Ministers oi the republican govcri,lt,fl,; ' I understand that Secretary Ewing, of the Home-Department, has interpreted the law creating his Department to mean that the offi ces transferred from the other Depai Invents, to the Home Department, do not embrace or in clude the personnel of those offices or bureaus that is, that the Bureaus arc transferred, but that the clerks are not. The latter are mere locum lemens until the head of the Department shall reappoint them, or other men to their places. These Bureaus include the Land Office, the Pension Ottice, the Patent Ofiiee, the. first Au- diior's Office, the Fifth Auditor's Otlice, ihe In- dian Office, the Office of Commissioner of Pub- lie Buildings, and the Office of Superintendent of the Penitentiary. The clerks in all of these "ices number some two or three hundred, I believe. The alarm of some of ihem i areat The law creating the Home Department, with a Secretary, at the salary of 6000, and a Chief Clerk, at a salary of 2000, also creates a Commissioner of Customs, at a salarv of 83000, with a Chief Clerk, at a salary of 81700, and an Assistant Secrelary of the Treasury, at a salary of 83000, witfra Chief Cleik. al a salary of 81700. To all persons who may be candidates for the officer of the United States Marshal iu any State of the Union, it may he proper to say that, as heretofore, the appointment goes thro' the Department of Slate, and has not been transferred, as some persons have supposed, to the Home Department.
