A GREAT RAILROAD ENTERPRISE.

~ OhEAl hAlIiROAD EN- hioEs
The New York papers publish the results of
the survey recently made by Col. hughes and
his party, of the proposed Isthmus Railroad
across the lsthmus of Panama to the Pacific,
showing unexpected facilities for the construc-
ton of the road, that we are strongly of opinion
that it should be made entirely national work,
if it ALL and not left TO the management and
control of individuals.
The whole length, from the Atlantic TO the
Pacific, does not exceed 46 miles-summit level
under 300 teet-curvatures with no less radius
than 500 feet---grade for &c miles from the
Atlantic, nowhere exceeding IL feet per mile
from Chagres river to summit level 3 miles, not
exceeding 20 feet--from summit level, 3 miles,
not exceeding so feet, and thence descending
about miles to the Pacific. There is an ex-
cellent harbor at Navy Bay, about miles from
Chagres, and materials of stone and wood are
abundant and of good quality. The cost of the
road will not exceed million of dollars.
Lines of steamers owned by American citi-
zens are already established and running regu-
larly from the Atlantic ports to the lsthmus, and
from Panama to California and Oregon. These,
with others which will be hereafter established,
will shorten the time of communication with the
countries of the Pacific and the Eastern shores
of Asia, from one half to three-quarters-redu-
cling the distance between New York and Can
ton from nearly 10000 to a little more than TO-
900 miles between New York and San Fran
cisco, from 10000 to 5000; and so on in pro-
portion.
According to the calculation of the elaborate
report of the Hon. T. Butler King, heretofore
published, with the aid of steamers OF a speed of
ID miles an hour, the voyage from New York

UNIVERSAL LOVE.

All things possessing loneliness love,
However humble in my heart hold
kindly spirit that, like Noah's dove
Goes forth to worship; if it cannot fold
Its tired pinion by the thing it loves,
1t hastens homeward to its sheltring fod
And by its coming to my bosom proves
Its flight too weakly, or its idol cold.
Again send it forth with anxious fear,
And often ii returns to me again,
Bearing the olive-leaf ofhope1not sere,
But fresh and living-and the pain
felt before is vanished. have hope
Ot further gadness, and send once more
My warm emotion with freer scope,
10 find world it could not find before:
A world divided by the good and ill
A world all loneliness and blooming youth
A world that's ruined by mans hayward will:
Ii comes to me no more, for it has found a truth!
Amid the varied tenants of the earth,
Amid the scenes of natures free delight
IT finds some being of true honest worth,
That views itselfand its own end Alright:
Some soul that does not in the sands of life
For wealth, or fame or shor-liyed pleasure grovel
But enters manfully into the strife,
With strength as good and ardent as It's novel:
Some soul as vlrtuous and fair as Eve;
Before she faltered at the high decree;
Some soul whose beauty makes the bosom heave
With fond affection for the worth we see
Q, universal Love thou bond of peace
10 all the gentle spirits of the world!
Oh, may the blessed kingdom never cease
among the sons ofmen, till wrong is hurled
BACK TO the chaos fields from whence it sprung:
ana friendship, Love and Truth, shall tisherin
Wore bllssful scenes than Cowp6r ever sung,
ana all the pure of earth those realms shall win.
On sweet retresher of this heart, remain
Its tenant till my passing hour is come:
And let me share the pleasure and the main
Of those true hearts, where | have found home.

Our Government has bestowed four millions
on West Point This equals eight hundred

cambridge University has been i great Light of
western civilization for at least two. hundred

one quarter as much State patronage as West

Tor consuming the earnings of the people.
NOT long ago, our navy was reported as con.
slstIng of sixty-eight ships; one thousand five
hundred and fifty two officers, whit salaries from
SIX hundred to four thousand five hundred doll
lars, averaging about one thousand five hundred
dollars. | have not seen this statement in any
original document. 1t may possibly be erroneous
though think not aud, if not tile Salaries would
amount to upwards of two millions--the value
OF four hundred farms, eight hundred village
houses and lots, two thousand teachers salaries
or two thousand school-houses.
The keeping of line of-battle ship in the
service one year, costs about half million
equal to one hundred farms, two hundred houses
and lots five hundred teachers, salaries or one
thousand school-houses.
Now the indirect and unequal mode of taxa.
ton, adopted in part by the English Government
and wholly by our own, requires as much, in the
payment of these enormous sums, from every
respectable liver, though worth perhaps little or
no property, as from the man who is worth mil.
lions. Those who like the object and the mode
of taxation, should pay cheerfully. Those who
think, with me, and certainly there are many
such, that preparations are worse than useless,
and that the mode of taxation is monstrouslv
unjust, must pay as cheefully as they can, for
there is no help. Till change comes over the
scene, the freemen of America must toe up
annually to the footing of four thousand farms,
worth five thousand dollars each and the toll
ing millions of Great Britain must pay, each year
about five times as much, for preparing for war
in time of peace.

by the announcement that she had been sold
and was TO be laid up. On enquiry. we found
that Mr.. f. b. Ward of St. Clair, had purchas-

RELICS OF THE PASTA skeleton was recent
y found by some laborers at Lockport, ILL.,, about
foot below the surface ofthe ground. 1t was in
good state of preservation and enveloped in
birch bark. Near the head was found various
articles, such as brass crucifx and a number of
beads, articles which are used in Catholic deyo-
tons. 1t was found in one of those mounds
which have always been considered as Indian
sepulchres. A tin kettle was also found in the
mound. This would seem to indicate that these
mounds are not of the antiquity which they have
long been supposed to be. This one was proba-

Trial of Hyer--Amticipated Verd,ct-Th New
Charieston Steamer Office seekers, &c.
TIC trial of Thomas Hyer, the pugilist, is ex-
PEI ted to commence at Charlestown, Kent coun-
ty, to-day, and George r. Richardson, the Attor-
hey General Of the State, has gone down to con.
duct the trial In person. l have not been able to
learn who Hyer has secured as his counsel; but
they will have tough road to travel to prevent
Richardson from getting strong verdict against
him. There is but one lawyer at our bar, the Hon.
John Nelson, who is match for HIM in crim-
nal prosecution. He calculates on having him i'm
prlsoned for one year, and fined 81 900. The Keat
county folks not very well pleased with the
coming SO that they could see the fight Many of
the ma had come up to Baltimore to see the fun, and
lost sight Of il by leaving home. This was the
case OF the man before whose door the fight took
place, who was also accompanied by most Of his
neighbours.
The steamship now being built, to run between
this city and Charleston is progressing finely and
Will doubtless be quite splendid vessel. 1t Is the
hrst steamship built In this counry, and believe
the iirst ocean steamer built any where, supplied
with oscillatng engines. If she proves as fine a
vessel as the steamer Isabel, the first and only
ocean steamer built In this city, which has made
eleven voyages to Havana without an accident,
the character Of our city for the building OF this
branch OF marine architecture will be unrlvaed.
Capt. Russell, long known as the captain OF the
steamer Herald, of the Norfolk line, has retired
from the Herald, preparatory TO taking command
OF this new vessel.
Our office seekers continue In quite fever, on
account OF the delay of removals. Some OF them
are getting tired out, and talk of giving up the
ghost.
