   The Legislature of Alabama has, as we learn, passed an act making it compulsory on the officers of railroad trains, to have the carts properly warmed, and duly supplied with water for the use of the passengers. The subject is not unworthy of the attention of our own Legislature. There are frequent and just complaints of neglect in these respects, from which passengers in general, and invalid soldiers in particular, suffer extremely. No doubt it is more troublesome and costs more to furnish these accommodations at the present time, than was the case formerly, but the railroads are making great dividends, and are not required, by any necessity for economy, to withhold these comforts from their passengers.
