(From (lie Anglo American Times.) The Pacific Railway has at last attracted the notice of the 2 ones, which alludes to it as likely to furnish the materials to be cultivated into the Panic due in 1876. Panics are the result of vision ' ary, not sound, substantial enterprises, and although a great success is usually the base around which the speculators and blackguards gather, the mines opened by the line, independent of the changed current of travel from East to West, will furnish ma terials for many a grand fortune before these vision aries and schemers can work up the edifice for the smash. tVe hear that the Rotbschilds have taken a considerable interest in some mining properties in Nevada, an indication as certain as that given by swallows of spring. The new highway will shorten the time to Yokohama and Shanghai by at least 15 days. From London to New York the time is ten days ; thence to San Francisco it will be six days ; on to Yokohama about 19 days. From Yoko hama the steamers branch, one going to Naga saki and Shanghai, and the other to Hongkong, Shanghai being reached in five days or less, and Hongkong in six, accomplishing the extreme voyage in about 40 days. The New Monthly Magazine, for this month, has an article on " The Great High way for Nations." The Pacifi r c Railway is calls the Central Pacific, ignorant of the fact that that term is applied to the portion only running east from Sacramento till it meets the Union Pacific running west from Omaha. While the writer does not know the name of the railway he advances bold opinions and abuses those Englishmen, "haters of their country," who are not prepared to construct a rival line through the wilds and snows of the Hudson Bay territory to checkmate the grasping Yankee and keep Eastern trade still in hands. Mr. ALFRED WADDINGTON'S publication furnishes the Monthly with its material, and the writer proceeds to show the people at home that it is their duty to run the line over British soil, from the head waters of Lake Superior to the Pacific. He takes it for granted that the Americans of the United States must he always hostile and in rivalry with Englishmen, and that the Americans to the north of the United States boundary must be always allies and friends of Britain, a ridiculous supposition, though generally entertained in England. Grounding his observa tions on this farce he shows that England should strive to retain to herself the traffic of Eastern Asia ; but the idea does suggest itself to his mind—" What if this hostile nation over the border should seize country, railway, and all !" He is refreshed, how ever, with the conviction that the Canadians will fight to the death, and that they have always hitherto defeated the Yankee schemes of annexa tion and invasion, and he can see no reason why they should not continue so to defeat them. This is the way in which the new highway is often discussed in England, and then the English are surprised and disgusted when they see a somewhat similar spirit reflected in Congress and in the American Press. Can they not recognize the Northern con tinent of America as in the hands cf their kinsfolk, speaking thcir own language, without these lines of demarcation than which nothing can be more illusory —a mere air -line, which has no more sub stance than it shows on the ground it is supposed to mark. But while this is nothing, race is some thing, and in fostering the baneful errors to whiCh the New Monthly gives expression the substance is sacrificed for the shadow. There is no difference in race between the Canadians and the Americans ; and why should England endeavour to create artificially that which nature has not done ? It can lead to no good, but may produce much harm, aad gives rise to more ill-feeling than any other cause across the Atlantic. If the United States work the Union Pacific Railroad well, giving quick, cheap, and safe trains across the continent, and carry passengers with speed, security, and comfort from San Fran- cisco to Japan and China, they will do what the world requires. In doing this the nation may benefit itself more than mankind generally ; but surely no other nation ought to object to the greater benefit goirg to those who have done the work, made the outlay, and stood the risk. A discussion embodying the ideas of the New Monthly can in no way influ- encc the resu' t, for the writer himself, if he had to visit Japan, and could get there quicker, cheaper, and by a more pleasant route over the Union Pacific Railway, would put his patriotism in his pocket and ake his. passage fur New York ; anol we may add, were people to talk and write as they act, while adhering to practice the world would get rid of heaps of theo- retical rubbish. We would ask ALFRED WADDINGTON if there is any snow along the route he recommends, if the climate is so genial that it only freezes in the early morning; for the Pacific Railroad, more than 10 degrees to the south, has just been blocked for two or three days by snow, and even in that compa- ratively southern latitude it has yet to be ascertained what will be the checks in winter. No American objects to a line, if practicable, through the Hudson Bay Territory ; on the contrary, all will rejoice to see British enterprise take such a direction. But what we object to, and will always combat, are the narrow-minded theories, tending to foster hostility, advanced to commend the project. The continent north of the Mexican boundary is essentially one, and in the hands of one race, and Americans in vite Englishmen to aid and share in the benefit of its development, and as many as please to make it heir home. The best answer to the invitation is not in the endeavour to split off one section of that continent into hostility to the other, nor to betray in such writings the paltry jealousy from which such arguments spring. Admiral George Elliott has taken advantage of ,he alarm caused by the loss of the Hibernia, and a similar .njury to the Columbia as that which proved fatal to the other, ;o urge the introduction on board such steamers of the hy draulic engine, which he asserts acts as an enormous pump, discharging from the hold of a vessel of 200 no minal horse-power 400. tons of water a minute, that is, two tons for each horse power. So large a discharge pipe and such a volume of water cannot be choked, and Mr. Ruthven's hydraulic engine, the Admiral asserts with the utmost confidence, to bo a perfect security to life and pro perty from the effects of any leak at sea from heavy strain ing; while the propeller cannot be injured by any action of the sea, such an accident as that by which the Hiber nia was lost being impossible. The Admiral says that he has laboured for years in vain to introduce an improve ment so replete with advantages to the cause of humanity and the interests of commerce, while five millions were expended to release a few Abyssinian captives. The Ad ' miral is not very happy in his illustration, for the Abys sinian war was undertaken for prestige, but his plan requires no illustration to recommend it, if his enthusiasm does not exaggerate what it can do. The Admiral could not have a better instance than the last case, that of the Starry Banner. She was bound from Alexandria to New York, and had on board 164 persons. Ou the 18th December a terrific sea cleared the decks; the next day the captain was washed overboard and perished, the lifeboats also being lost. Ten feet of water was in the hold, and the pumps at work day and night; signals wore made, rockets fired, but no ship came in sight. On the 20th the chief officer, Mr L. Van Buren, told the passengers he could do no more. At eight o'clock a tremendous sea struck the saloon, sweeping the passengers in it overboard. Major Henry J oy, of the United States Army, a native of London, saved 22 by his heroic exertions, but 60 of those swept into the sea were lost. On the 21st the rafts which had been constructed were launched, and time only was given to place all on them when the steamer went down, as the Hibernia, stern fore most. For three nights and two days they remained on the rafts without food or water, and many, preferring a speedy death to this torture and suspense, jumped into the sea after leaving the wreck and were drowned. At last they were rescued by a French bark and lauded at Bou logne, to the number of 42, which gives a loss of 122. This story which went the rounds is wholly devoid of truth, and we only retain it here as an instance of the sort of hoax in which some persons can find pleasure. Those who accepted it as genuine on discovering its real charac ter wondered how they could have been deceived by so poor a awl, as every incident bore imposture on its face as originally told. Of the seven Presidents who bad sons to educa te, four—John Adams, John Quincy Adams, Abrah am Lin coln, and now Ulysses S. Grant—have chosen Harvard University for that purpose. rADvEm.
