THE NEW ROUTE TO CALIFORNIA, VIA Mica
RAGuA-The new route to San Francisco, via Mica
ragua, it is now settled will be open and in COM
pletc operation by the FIRST day of July next.
Public attention has often been called to this route
by the press but the company to whom belongs
the right Of way through Nicaragua, have never,
until now, thought proper to communicate any Of
their proceedings. They preferred to remove all
obstacles to the successful and speedy transit be-
tween the oceans, and, when ready to begin trans
porting passengers and freight than to boast OF
what had been done by them.
Mr.. Vanderbilt few week since returned from
Nicaragua, whittier he went to establish a line
across that isthmus. The company's arrangements
are now completed, and the first day of July
next such Of citizens as desire either to go to
or return from San Francisco, viii be able to Sc
lect this route if they please, with the confidence
that they will reach their place Of destination in as
speedy manner a. possible
The line, VIC understand il made up, for che pre-
sent, as foows;-Mr. Vanderbilt is to run line of
steamers, Of the first class, (among which is the
celebrated Promctheus) between New York and
San Juan dc Nicaragua. From the latter place the
passengers will in steamboats, constructed for the
purpose, up the river San Juan to the lake, thence
across the lake TO Virgin Bay, and thence by a good
road, built by the company, San Juan del Sur, on
the Pacific, distance Of twelve miles and thirty
chains. Thus, the entire land transit between
New York and California will be reduced TO the
short space oftwelye miles.
On the Pacific Ocean our entcrprsing citizen.
Dir. William III. Brown has entered into a contract
torun, between san Juan del Sur and San Francisco
the steamers Pacific, Capt. Bailey, and the indie
IcndeLee, tboh Of which nov on their way } and
one now building, and to be shortly completed,
to be called the San Francisco.
These steamers are all new, and two Of them have
already earned regulations for srecd second only to
the PIometheus. Mr.. Vanderbilt l. also building
new steamer for this line at the yard Of Mr. J.
Simonson; and We have reason to believe that ere
long,we shall have weekly line between New York
and Fan francisco, via Nicaragua.
The more routes we may have to the Pacific the
better Il will be for the public There is nothing
like competition in this, as in all other business
Numerous complaints have been made by travellers
Of the Inconvenience 70 which they are subjected
IN going to and returning from California, which
competition will no doubt remedy. We therefore
rejoice AT the prospect Of soon having another line
Ia operation between New York and oar new State
on the Pacific.

The above shows the situation Of the newspaper
press in this city and State before the establishment
Of the New YORK HERALD, in 1895.
The astonishing increase in the circulation is
shown in the fact that the New YORK HERALD
alone issues annually over eleven million sheets,
being more than the whole issue Of the city press
daily, semi-weekly, weekly, semi-monthly aud
monthly-in 1892. The daily issue Of the New York
city press is about 10000, or 100000 per an
mum, to which the weekly and other papers will
probably add 1000, 600, making the grand total
for the city, 100000 Of sheets per annum; aud
the whole annual issue Of the press of the State may
be estimated to exceed 60, Coz, 600 Of sheets.

the time that she arrived Of the wharf until the
present, she has had thousands Of fools in her train
wherever she stopped, except in Havana. Bar
NUNS bnney swallowed with avidity in New
York, and hundreds Of dollars given for the first
ticket to hear her sing. Boston, Philadelphia, Pro-
violence, and New Orleans, out-Iieroded Herod in
the folly. Indeed they went far in New Orleans,
in their extravaganza Of folly, and glorifcation OF
the sonsstress that there was rush to the auction
sale Of the furniture Of her rooms and the meanest
utensil Of her bcd-chambcr was eagerly purchased
ut twelve dollars. Oh oh oh II the people OF New
York had not made fools Of themselves in the hrst
,lace people at a distance would not have done So
We are the first sinners.
We might give many additional proofs Of the
influence which the city Of New York, the me
tropols Of America, and destined at no distant day
to be the metropolis Of the world exercises on the
rest Of the republic; but the above are sufficient
for our purpose. 1t is undenable that in politics,
religion, fashion, picty, folly, insanity, morals, so
ciety, trade, commerce, theatricals, pugsm, and
everything else, We lead the rest of the country;
and that whatever is done here is initiated and
copied throughout the country. Other cities will
not be willing to acknowledge this; but it is
fact, a reality, notwithstanding. There is no de-
nyng that what Paris is to France, or London to
England, or Pekin to China, New York is to Amc-
rica-the great heart and centre, the leading,
moving, and directing power Of the continent.
Philadel Ihia and Boston very nice little places
in their way, but they more, after ALL than
suburbs Of this vast metropolis. Is not this true
philosophy!

ally, to spring up into mischievous after-growths,
that may spread their dangerous and even destruc-
tive notifications to tangs the very truth itself
in irremediable pcrplexity.
1t is not Mr.. Hildreth's vain attempt Mt history
that has alone suggested to US the necessity OF
close watchfuness Of the conduct Of authors, and OF
those publishers who are able, through the terms
on which they advertise in nearly all the public
journals TO make the reputation Of writers by limit
less pufs Of their productions. Scarcely day
passes that some one or Of the publishers OF
this city do not place before the country the most
geous libels on common sense and common
truth and force of on the Southern market, by
means of the large trade auction sales, vast edi-
tions Of dangerous and untruthful works. Some Of
the Boston houses particularly Jealous in this
species of abolition literature. 1t is seen in the
weekly newspapers, in the leading magazines and
reviews of that city, and in hundreds of books which
are issued from its prolific press; and the conse-
quence, sooner or later, must be that the South
will deem it prudent to interdict by individual
ample, the sale Of works emanating from locality

We give the warning to the New York publishers
in time that the publication of such works as We
have alluded to, will be to prove injurious to
the book-selling trade. Men will not shut their
eyes to the nsidious spread of doctrines which are
aimed at deprivation of their political rights and
privileges, established at the formation oft
Union. Already they begin to inquire into the po-
litcal opinions of authors; and hence it is that Hi
dreth's works, and other similar efforts springing
from party feeling, deemed by all sensible men
devoted to the Union, as unworthy of being read
as fair and just representations Of practical and ho-
nest truth. Should our warning not be needed, We
know the inevitable result. The publishers who
will supply the South and Southwest will be locat-
ed in districts where the faint Of abolitionism has
not corrupted the literature Of the day.

government. The truth is, that in spite Of the
prestige of great craftsmanship and mighty talent,
MIR. Fillmore and his cabinet may, to certain ex-
tent be considered serving the second term which
Captain Tyler once sighed for, with some OF the
same for advisers, and some of the same mate
rails for stock in trade. How queer. how very
queer.
In the midst Of this singular exhibition, distinct
and positive movements being made in New
York and New England, with reference to the ne xt
presidency. The anti-savery or Seward wings
have taken up General Scott, and placed him be-
fore the country the embodiment Of their princ-
pies, their purposes, and their hopes. The autisla-
very or Van Buren, democrats in this city, and in
other regions Of the North, have in like manner
seized on the popularity, the sobriety and the pre-
tensions Of General Houston, of Texas, their rep
resentative in the contest which is now opening
throughout the country. The Boston .itlas, the
leading anti-slayery whig organ Of New England,
backed up by twenty or thirty echoes, joins heart
and hand in favor Of General Scott; while the Ere
caag Journal Of Albany, with thirty or forty similar
echoes in this State, is assuming the same ground IN
favor ofGeneral Scott, and bitter hostility to the
administration and all the old statesmen OF the
whig party Mr. Seward and his cabinet in Alba.

and the instigators of these attempts to make the
whig party the North, now hencefore and forever,
an anti slavery organization, without caring what
the result of 50 doing would be the future peace
of the country.
The prospect, therefore, is that the anti slavery
elements of the North, under the impulses commu-
nicaed to them by Mr.. Van Buren, in the demo-
cratic, and Mr.. Seward in the whig party, may
have some chances Of prevailing at the next Presi-
dental election, with the assistance Of and under the
pretence of supporting military candidates. If,
under such leaders the anti-savery sentiment should
overrule the North and the free States in the cleo
ton Of candidate at the next Presidential election,
we will see this Union arrayed against tself-one
section against another-the North against the
South, and the South against the North-on
question purely local, which the existence of the
South depends, and over which the North has no
constitutional or legal right The dangers which
would surely flow from such a lamentabe state Of
things, we will not attempt to predict. He who has
common sagacity may foresee them.

WONDER OF WONDERS!
PETROLEUM, OR ROCK OIL.

"Theye are more things IN. .heaven and earth,
Than are dreamt Of in philosophy"
The virtues of this remarkable remedy, and
the constant application for it, to the proprietor,
has induced him to have it put up In bottles,
with labels and directions, for the benefit of the
public.
The Petroleum OF Rock OIL is procured from
well in Allegheny county, at depth of four
hundred feet, is pure unadulterated article,
without any chemical change, but just as it flows
from Natures Great Laboratory! That it con-
tains properties capable of reaching number
of diseases, is no longer a matter of uncertainty.
There are many things in the arena of nature,
which, if known, might be of vast usefulness IN
alleviating suffering and restoring the bloom Of
health and vigor to many sufferer. Long be-
fore the proprietor thought of putting it up IN
bottles, it had reputation for the cure OF dis
ease. The constantly and daily increasing calls
for it, and several remarkable cures it has per-
formed, is sure indication of its future popu-
larity and wide spread application in the cure
Of disease.
We do not wish to make long parade of GER
tifcates, we are conscious that the medicine
can soon work its way into the favor of those
who suffer and wish to be healed. Whilst we do
not claim for it universal application in every
disease, we unhesitatingly say, that in number
OF Chronic Diseases it is unrivalled. Among
! these may be enumerated-al diseases of the
mucous tissues, such as Chronic Bronchitis, Con-
diseases of the air passages, Licer Complaint,
Dyspepsia, Diarrhea, Diseases of the Bladder
and Kidneys, Pains in the Back or Side, Ner-
vous Diseases, Neuralgia, Palsy, Rheumatic
Pains, Gout, Erysipelas, letter, Ringworms,
Burns, Scalds, Bruises, Old Sores &C., sc. In
cases of debility resulting from exposure, or
long and protracted cases of disease, this medi-
cine will bring relief. 1t will act general

NIr. Cobb's Union speech.

The Savannah Republican,, of Friday, con-
tains Hon. Howell Cobb's speech, made at that
place, from which we make the following ex-
tracts
He did not believe that South Carolina had
the right to leopard the institutions Of the
South by her hasty and i'll advised action. Other
States were equally interested in those institu-
tons, and she could not in justice to them take
it upon herself to decide upon such momentous
issues, and drag them down with herself into
the bottomless pit of revolution and disunion.
For one, he hoped that Georgia would give
her to understand, so far as we are concerned,
that she need not look for aid or sympathy from
this State in her efforts to overthrow the Gov
ernment. We may regret the course she has
marked out-we may even sympathise with her
but nothing more. We can never raise our
hands against the Union for anything in the
past.
Mr.. Cobb deprecated the formation of sec
tional parties, whether they be called Southern
Rights" or otherwise. Organize sectional par
ties at the North and South, at the East and the
West-let them meet in the Halls of Congress
let each insist, sat all hazards and to the last
extremity, that it is right and the others wrong
and he did not believe the Union would en-
dure one month. 1t could never survive the
bitterness, the hatred, and the violence which
such state of things would engender.
