The Pacific Railroad,

4 private letter from friend in London in
forms us that Mr. ASA WHrrNEY's scheme for a
Railroad to the Pacific, across the northern part
of this continent, is attracting there the attention
we had expected from its own grandeur and feas-
ability. and the singular clearness, enthusiasm
and tact of its advocate. 1t has been submitted
to Lord John Russell, Lord Stanley, Lord Monica
gle and other eminent men, who have listened
with the greatest interest to Mr. Whltneys eNpia-
nations, and have expressed their satisfaction at
their novelty and practically. AT the same time
he has had interviews with heavy capitalists who
have profered him all the means necessary for
the prompt execution Of the work, to be furnish
ed him as soon as the lands are granted for the
purpose. These gentlemen only wait Mr. Whit
ney's acceptance of their proposals to employ
their influence-which is large and will prove
eficacious-with the Government and the Hud-
sons Bay Company in order to secure the grant,
which will be made substantially on the same
terms as were contained in the bill lately before
Congress.
We confess that we cannot see the prospect
which these facts offer without pang Of regret
that such work should not be executed by the
United States. Nor can we Danish the hope that
Mr. Whitney may not close with those proposals,
attractive as they are, and that we may yet have
the opportunity of building this magnificent high
way of the world.
Still, if British America carries off the prize of
glory and empire, we shall not repine at her for
tune, for it would be achieved solely by confer
ring upon mankind at large benefits Of untold ex-
tent and duration.
The above, from the New York Tribune, looks
very much like feeler to excite new sympa-
thy in behalf of MIR WHIrNEY's late proposal to
this government and incline Congress to make
him just such grant Of land as he desires. Mr.
Whitney is a gentleman and great traveller, but
we are glad his winning manners did not so far
operate on Congress as to secure to him what he
asked. Let the British take up with his offer if
they will. According to his own calculations it
will take two generations to be born before 1t Is
finished; and long before that time the private en-
terprise of the Yankees will extend the proposed
Pacific road from the State line of Missouri to
California, with branch to meet it running thro'
this State and Council Bluffs.

Gent officer, who. after closely watching we'll
dressed but suspicious-ooking man, accompanied
by ladylike and very pretty girl, of some fifteen
years, succeeded in ''spoting" them in the act OF
abstracting sundry valuables from the pockets OF
those around them.
The modus operandi of these artistes is so re-
markabe, novel and ingenious, as to merit detail
The young lady carried basket, ostensibly for
marketing purposes, but actually for the purpose
of enabling her to approach and crowd between

The male prisoner was locked up; but the
daughter was permitted to go home. The future

One of the most horrible accidents have ever

interesting young female, recently arrived from
Germany, was dreadfully burned, by her clothes

furnace, near which she was sitting. Medical
assistance was Immediately procured, but her life

MESSAGE OF THE GOVERNOR OF
VIRGINIA..

The message Of Governor Floyd, Of Vir-
ginia, is chiefly taken up with statement
of the pubic works in progress IN the State.
and Of the condition Of the finances. In the
conclusion, however, he refers to the slave
ry agitation in terms which must be gener-
ally acceptable 10 the friends Of Southern
rights. We cannot refrain from quoting
largely from this part Of the message
II am persuaded that the safety and well
fare Of Virginia demand at your hand some
mild, conciliatoFy measures, calculated to
show the non-slavehoding States that we
are resolved 10 coerce respect at their
hands for our rights and our properly. The
slavery agitation is a direct attack upon
both; and the Connecticut resolutions are
fair Indication OF the Northern sentiment
We may be allowed to indulge the hope
that more mature reflection will work a ben
efcia change in their minds. But. in the
meantime, We should show to them by our
acts tnat we have the peaceful aud lawful
means az our command, to fetaIiate upon
them Tor their gratuitous intermcdding with
our slaves. A necessity now exists for in.

THE BERIAL or LOVE.


Two dark-eyed maids, At shut Of day,
Sat where river rolled away,
With calm sad brows and raven hair,
And one was pale, and both were fair
Bring flowers, they sang, bring flowers u
blown,
Bring forest blooms Of name unknown;
Bring budding sprays from wood and wild,
To sirew the bier Of Love, the Child.
Close softly, fondy, while we weep
His eyes, that death may seem like sleep;
Andlay his hands in sign o. rest,
His waxen hands across his breast.
And make his grave where violets hide,
Where star-fowers strew the riyulet's side,
And blue birdsin the mists. of spring
OF cloudless skies ard summer sing.
Place near him, as ye lay him low,
His idle shafts, his loosened bow
The silken band thai oft around
His waggish eyes in lnirth he wound.
Butwe shall mourn him long, and miss
Hisready smile, his ready kiss
fhe patter Of his little foet,
Sweetirowhs and stammered phrases sweet !;
And grayer looks serene and high,
q light of heaven in that young eye;
All these viii haunt US till the heart
Shall ache--and ache---and tears shall start.
The bow, the band shall fall TO dust;
The shining arrows waste with rust,
But he, whom now from sight Of man
We hide in earth shall live again.
Shall break these clods a form of light,
Withnoble mien aud clearer sight,
And in The eternal glory stand
With those who wait at Gods right hand.
