on the border, where men of the ordinary English
regiments often deserted in squads. During the
Crimea it was found necessary to organize better
transport, and the Military Train was the result.
With the exception of the Artillery and the Engi-
neers, we have given au outline of the British Army;
but there is another more numerous by far, main-
tained in the East Indies, at which we will here-
after glance, as the connection between the two is
very imperfectly known, even by large classes io
England. We shall touch as well on the Militia
and Volunteer system,- and at the same time strive
to correct some erroneous impressions held in Arne'
rica regarding the Purchase System of the British
Army.

RAILWAY. INTEL UGENC'E.

A correspondent of the Ledger writes that the
Central Pacific Railroad will not take greenbacks
for fare, and, moreover, charges 10 cents a mile /0
gold. For this the passengers probably get " more
exercise to the mile" than on any other road in the
cJuntry.
The Union Pacific Railroad has been 63 far coin'
pleted that passengers by travelling continuously
can pas over the line from Philadelphia to SO
Francisco in eleven days. The time from Philadel-
phia to O.nah.i was recently three days, but the
railroad is now opened to Bryan, 860 miles from
Omaha. This shortens the time between Omaha
and San Francisco to eight days. From Omaha to
Bryan the time is forty hours; from Bryan to Salt
Lake City, thirty-two hours, by stage; from Salt
Lake City to Wadsworth, four days ; from Wads-
worth to San Francisco, by the Central Pacifi°
Railroad, one day. The fare from Omaha to
Bryan is $64 15e., and to Salt Lake $110; to Sa-
cramento $230.
