I'lL'BjBgdXlJJJiajJ. Letter From M- F. Dowell- Wasihnotom, D. C, I February 1st, 1809. j" n.vtLnoADs, HurritAUE and fi.vakck Have been discuseed in both houses of Congress nearly every day during the pntt week. Nothing is of more prcM ing importance than the great NATIONAL HAILB0AD9 Now under discussion in the commit tee on railroads. Tlio Oregon Branch is the shortest ot tho proposed roads. lt is evident the nfaguitudo and extent of this work are loo great to be dono by the simple extentioii ol private c tpltal. The State credit under n constitution which pro hibita it from going in debt for more than 430,000 can't build it. Our na tional debt is large, but our resources are very large, and they can bo made iiuiiiciiae. The best way to nar off our Indebtedness is to develop the western country by a Judicial ay tem 0! railroads. Tho farmer who Is in debt should not stop the cxpetiso ol . siwing and reaping becauso ho in in debt. How does tho condition of the' Lirmcr diller from tho statesman, who,lnnylhing bciu.r llliui nalionai aisbon- aware of tho iuexhauUable wealth of our soil, and of the countless treasures that crop out 011 almost every hill and mountain on the lieitlcslope, can yet refuse, 011 grounds of economy ? It is a perfectly sale Inan of Government credit to the comparatively small extent nceeM.iry to develop that wealth, and gather up and appropriate to tho pub lic benefit thosu treaaurus. Railriads will give n quick, easy and cheap transportation. This will crowd our great western mines and vast rich prai tie from all partsol the globe. There never was a time ir. the history of our government that tho people wero more alivo tn economy ; but this should not retard national aid to great national r.tllro-id. All kinds of expenses have increased during tho war. These exi gencies having ceased to exist, retrench ment mint follow. Tho occurences of the lat few years carried the ship ot State far beyond her former moorings; ami now that the tide is returning, It U tho oflk-o nf those who manage our affairs to sco that alio floats back In s.ilety, nut they should see jjVat ar. cry part and parcej of tho great' tlonal boundaries is 'made to cant ute to bear a part of the natioaal . 4. pontes, This cannot bo done without population. Every railroad -incresses the foreign emigration, and they bring capital and labor to float tho ship of Stato high above the howling ropudia lor. Let us regard the Congress of the Union pretty much as the patient does tho surgeon who is called lo re lievo lit ut of a tumor or other disagree able cxcrcxencr. The operation requires lucbion and capacity, I.ut them over haul and renovato every department in a thorough mannor, using the seal pre! boldly and freely, cutting out this, lopping off that expense, but be eare- tul to proaervo the mam body. Re trenchment and internal improvement ahnuld go hand iu hand to dovelop, improve and pay off our groat national debt. Let thorn cut off expenses ot tho army, navy, civil and political ox- penxes, but giyo enough aid to Individ ual enterprlso to build the great Cen tral railroad, with appropriate brano'i es. This will bo glory enough for one session, It Will reflect laming credit upon tho Ropublicanjmrtyand secure lor their representatives the approba tion of tho people. TUB AMENDMENT OajfjrriJffl PNlYSMiL eorrRAOi To .nil male cltlient passed the Koate on Saturday, by a vote ot ISO to 43. It provides that "the right ot any citi zen of the United States to vote, shall not be denied, or abridged by the .Uni ted States or any State, by reason of raoe color, or previous condition ot slavery of any citiwn or class.of cit izens of tho United States."

SO iwl NO. as good an advantago as Johnston has used it against our party, it will never be necessary for Oregon or Calilornia to vote upon tho question. But even California and Oregon arc not wholly lost to the good cause, The question of clticcti suffrage or no negro suffrage has never been fairly beloro the people of Oregon or Calilornia. We will loso a few weak-minded and a few weak kneed Republicans ; but what we loso of this class we will make up, and more too, among the intelligent, humane and patriotic Democrats. We call upon all Republican who desire the peace and prosperity ot tho country to givo it their cordial nnd energetic support, it is n part of tho great reconstruction measures. Without it uo permanent peace could bo maintained. With it tho Republic will bo n new nation, nnd peace and prosperity will flourish "like 1 11 "t. :- .i:.i 1.1- glk-uil UIJ live. . uiouuimiuuiv l0 rc,nlfjlUo a doinr 0f our national job( It w llloru tllttt1 dishonorable for R whUc nBII l0 lac5ty aillI1it 1U Cau't succcaalully comp-tc with our colored population niter they have equal rihls ).,, ii, i.t-.

Let us givo every citizen tho satuo legal rights; let us trust in the continuing favor ot Divine providence cultivate our vast resources of agri cultural and mineral wealth, with the enterprise of a young and free people, nnd whito men and black men will be equally prosperous and happy. FINANCE Is a new question, and tho Republicans are trying to master it.

Tho enclosed paper Is n copy of the will ol Geu. Thaldbiti Kosciussko which for nearly half n, century has 'eeti lying buried und lorgoltcu III thi Clerk' Office ot the Circuit Court of Albemarle. It was admitted to record on tho 12th. day ol May. 1819. I waa then Deputy Cleik, mid tho order of rourt (inlmittiiKr il to record) and tho endorsements 111 u in my hand writing the scenes nii-l tact connecter) with thi transaction arc vividly impressed upon my memory. Tho Circuit Court of Albemarle Judge Archibald Stuart, (father ol Hon. Alex. II. II. Stuart) presiding wus thuii in st'ssiou. An illustrious man then, as at all time the obicrvcd of all observer, walked into rourt. Tho Judgo 011 perceiving that Thomas Jefferson, stately and erect, was tiuding before him, bowed and invited him to take a seat on the bench. To this Mr. Jefferson replied "As soon a your Honor shall nave leisure to attend tn me, I have a matter ot busluris which I wih to present to tho court." Immediately, by couseat of the panics concerned, further pro ceedings on tho matter then before the court wero suspended, till Mr. Jofftreosi could be heard. Ho took trout his poek et a paper w ltieli ho said was the will ot hi li icnd Gen. Thaddctis Kosolusgkc That tho will was written entirely is the handwriting ot the Testator. He was well acquainted with his hand writing, and oould testify on oath to tlio tarts which ho stated. The usual oath was then administered by th clerk, tho necessary interrogatories for mally put, nfllniutivcly answered, and the will was by order of court admitted to record. Sir. Jefferson then stated that at hU advanced age, it was not in his power to undertake tho burthen ot the execu tion ol the will, nnd thereupon decliued to quality as executor. The service ot Kosciuszko to the American cauto in our Revolutionary struggle, his subsequent career In en dcavoring to give freedom and inde pendence to lit own Country, ins aaau overthrow at Maciejowice, and prophetio lament which he uttered when falling from his horse covered wonnds ; JFimj Polonto arc facts well kaown to history, bnt nothing exhiWta more graphically or boautit'elly the character ot the man. than the ebotV and simple paper which I send to-' disintercsttahes, universal pnitatv thropy, and a heart bursting with dee for liberty, freedom and happiness tsr all mankind are pictured as iu a mirror. Well did the poet say. "And freedom shrieked when Kos ciuszko fell." WM. WERTENBAKER, University ot Virginia, June 19th. 1808. 7 HE WILL.
