The SUB MARINE TUNNEL AT MARsElLLEs.
Wonder is often excited by the gigantic
enterprises Of modern times and the re.
mark IS frequently made, that nothing OF
similar kind had ever before been underta.
ken but many Of our most stupendous
works, have been successfully accomplished
centuries ago.
Among modern triumphs OF art, the
Thames Tunel has been considered an I'm
paraslsd work, but the recent discovery
recently published, places that project in
the background. The Paris Journal des
Deba,s, in speaking Of this work, says:
'There has long been known or believed
to exist at Marseiles, a tunnel or subma.
rine passage, from the ancient Abbey Of ST.
Victorie running from The arm Of the sea.
which is covered with ships, and coming
out under the tower Of Fort ST. Nicholas
Many projects for exploring this passage
have been entertained, but hitherto no one
has been found sufficiently bold to perse,
we're in it, NJ. Joyland, of the Po,ntset-
Chausesses, and NJ. Matayras, an architect,
have, however, not onl y undertaken, but
accom- lished this task. Accompanied by
some friends, and number OF aborers, they
went a few days ago to the Abbey, and de-
scended the numerous steps that led to the
entrance Of the passage. Here they were
interrupted by heaps OF the ruins oil the Ab-
hey. Two days afterwards, however, they
were enabled TO clear their way to the 9TH
er end, and came out at ST. Nicholas, after
working two hours and twenty minutes
The structure, which is considered to be
Roman, is in such excellent condition, tina,
10 order to put j. into complete repair, a
cost oil no more 100000, will DO required,
but a much larger outlay will be wanted to
render it ssrviceable for modern purposes
This tunnel 10 deemed much finer than thai
Of London, being formed Of one single vauI,
Of sixty feet span. and one fourth longer
The harbor OF Marseilles was undoubted
y made by the Romans for military purpo
sss. Ills formed OF large basin, wslled il
by stone piers; the entrance TO which is from
an eighth to quarter Of mile wide, unde
which the newly discovered Tunnel wa
made.

MILLS ROUTE To THE PACIFIC.

MILLS ROUTE TO THE PACIFIC.
For the transportation Of government
stores to Santa Fe, and to our possessions
on the Pacific ocean, a safer and more ex.
peditious route will be found 10 be by the
Rio Grande, in place OF the present route
by the Missouri river. Steamboats, now
ascend with ease this river to Larida, 700
miles above the Gulf OF Mexico, as has been
proved in years past, and, dnrng the las,
year, by q steamboa, expedition sent up
this river by Gen. Patterson and at 100
miles higher up, where Gen. Wool crossed,
near the town Of Preside de Rio Grande.
the depth Of water was 81 feet and this
depth continues all the way up to the city
Of Albuquerque, within day or two's trav.
ell Of Santa Fe; and, from this neighbor
hood, it has been ascerlained that The dis
lance overland 10 the navigable waters oil
the Gulf Of California, (the Rio Colorado,) is
but 200 miles, which would bring you 10
the waters OF the Pacific, and to the ports
Of Guaymas, Monterey, San Francisco, As.
toria, &c. Thus, through the medium OF
this route, little land travel will be necessa.
ry, not exceeding 400 miles, 10y leaving the
river lower down,) and through welI.set.
tied region, where provisions, coal, &c. are
plenty, and no danger from the attack OF
Indians. What difference this would
make, both on the ground Of expense and
safety Of transportation, as well as Of time,
10 the government In connection with
this route, a very important improvement
in transmitting government dispatches may
be in,roduced-viz: the magnetic telegraph
by which we could convey and receive
intelligence from our Pacific possessions in
two weeks, each way! This is no vsiona
ry scheme /; for, before two years shall
elapse, the telegraph will be completed to
New Orleans from thence it would be the
conveyed by steamboat down the Gulf OF
Mexico, and up the Rio Grande to sui,a.
BILE point on the same, where line Of tele.
graph, Of about 400 miles, would reach the
waters Of the Gulf Of California, from
whence it would be transmitted by steam
boat to different ports on the coast.
From these considerations, this route
commends itself to The government for the
facilities it offers Of economizing time, and
the public business, in this direction and
tho safety OF this route will cause the tide
OF immigration soon 10 set in with il, so that
our Oregon territory will early TEEN with
an intelligent and Industrious population,
and with whome we may have almost
weekly communications, as this region will
be brought as near to US, by means OF this
system of steam and electricity, as Boston
was less than half century ago. Who
shall set limits to the power and utility OF
these agents Of communication? The cos,
Of executing a thousand miles OF telegraph
would not exceed half million Of dallars,
and our 400 miles Of distance but 100000.
What an engine for good is this agent for
the country! and the government should
not lose moment to accomplish the work

Much surprise has been expressed at the
tr;fng losses our forces have met IN all the
battles with the Mcxicans, compared with
the losses sustained bv the enemy. A let
ter from an Arkansas officer who was in the
battle OF Buena Vista, gives one explanation
ofn.-The letter says: The Mexicans tum-
bled on every side. ! saw them struck down
with sabrcs aud irnmpled beneath our horses
feet, snO them t'g oifh upiiled hands for
mercy! but II was remembered those very
hands had driven their lances into the hearts
of our cour,rymen." And not only in the
hea: and fury os the battle was no quarter
giveo. bn, even in their flight the Mexicans
were moved down by hundreds. But such i.
The privilege of war-a privilege sanctioned
10y custom. and even eulogised by persons by
nature not Of a cruel temperament.

NEWPORT:

| CoRREcTIoNs.-In the statement Of
the votes in the Eastern Congressional
District published in our last, we mad
vertently classed Henry b. Anthony,
Esq, Of Providence, as one Of the In
dependent candidates, who received a
part Of the minority vote. This was
manfestly an incorrect classification,
MIR. Anthony never having given his
consent TO be candidate a, all, and be-
ing voted for against his express dis.
claimer to that effect as published in his
own paper. The Hon. A. Bosworth, Of
Warren, also, was not a candidate at
this election, and received the few votes
placed in our table against his name
without his knowledge or appreciation,
having given his vote and support, as We
understand, to the regular nomination.
"While our hand is in, wo will correct,
also, an error in our editorial Of the 4th,
in reply to the Warren Star Of the LIST,
in the matter Of the Coomer Halle
petition We there stated, from recol-
lection, that after the prayer Of the petit
ton was granted, ga new committee was
raised to bring in bill to effect its OBJ
jects, composed for the most part, il not
wholly, Of those who had voted in favor
Of the petition, Of which committee Mr..
John II. Clarke Of Providence was one."
This is not altog ether correct in point
Of fact. The committee for bringing in
n bill was the Committee on Corpora
tions, to which the matter properly ap-
pertained, and this committee, for the
last year, consisted of John II. Clarke
Of Providence, W. Peckham, J. r.
Rhodes and j. Babbit, Jr.-,here being
one vacancy in the committee by the
death of W. N. Aldrich of Scituate. J.
II. Clarke and J. r. Rhodes voted for
the petition : W. Peckham and J. Bah
bitt, Jr., against it,
