RAILROAD TO TIE PEACrIc.-Tcxas
and Louisiana are making earnest,
though somewhat dsiointed, moyes TO-.
wards the tvo main sinks of the great
national railway to the Pacific. Louis
lana is preparing to push 10 her share
of the line from New Orleans TO the bor-
der of Texas, and Texans are discussing
with skill and ability the project OF ex
tending the lines from their eastern Inn
its, where il should meet the Louisiana
division, across the entire breadth OF
Texas 10 the Bravo. This is distance
of seven hundred miles ilit strikes that
river at the Passo del Norte, but re.
ducibe 10 less than six hundred miles ii
it can be brought lower down the val
ley Of the Bravo, go as 10 touch the riv-
er at the head Of navigation. The ad-
vantages of the lower terminus would be
immense not only in the distance saved,
but in the favorable lay of the ground,
which presents no serious obstacle
throughout the whole line, and traverses
moreover fertile and settled country.
The cost would be third less, the divlr
dends much greater, and the facilities q
construction altogether superior, but
there is this fatal objection, this route
would traverse portion ofMcxico, and
without firmly guaranteed right Of way
this noble thoroughiare would be Liable
10 fatal interruptions. Should this right
Of Nay be secured, this route TO the Pa
cifc would naturally divide into four Sec
tions-the Louisianan, the Texan, the
Mexican and he Californian branches,
and every ono OF them would be paying
enterprises. The Mexican division
would probably find the slowest market
for lis stock. and the other three branch.
es would perhaps have to subscribe TO
it, and aid IN its general operations but
even that portion skirts such rich min
ing country, where it does not intersect
fne agricultural districts, that it could
scarcely fail in the general connection to
pay handsome dividends.

nTThe State of Georgia is in market
for a loan of 100000.

THE PRoMETuEUs. The Boston Jour
nal well says:- The explanation re.
ccived from Greytown in relation 10 the
Prometheus affair, looks plausible e.
nough, and may be satisfactory. so lar
as relates to the right OF the authorities
Of that place to demand port charges
from American vessels entering that
port. This, however, we humbly con-
ceive to he not the point at issue. The
true question is-had the commander OF
an English man Of war brig a right 10
aid the authorities of Grcytown in pro.
scouting n pecuniary claim, urged by
those authorites-as in the case OF the
Prometheus? Will the English Gov
crnmcnt contend for this right or disavow
the act of the naval officer, who acted
as the representative OF the nation in
this affair? There is good sense as
well as proper spirit manifested in the
following extract from the Washington
correspondence OF the Pennsylvania in
quirer:-
1T Is to be regretted that our naval
captains do not, upon such occasions us
the outrage TO our flag by firing into the
Promethcus and the Falcon, take it upon
themselves to obtain prompt satisfaction.
Ii the Express had been blown out of
the water for her conduct, then would
England and the United States be on
level ground for explanations and apollo
gics. Mr.. Palmerson might then say
that the Express was wrong for lirlng,
&C., and MIR. Webster could manifest
equal regret for the hasty conduct Of
our captain. This sort ul explanation,
however, which always manages TO hit
us IA blow, and then apologize is unin-
tcrcstlng. | like TO see the blow occa-
sonaly returned and Mca the apologies.
Mark my word, II this course were pur-
sued. we would have marvellous few
cases in which 1t would be necessary TO
demand an apology.
If every Insult to our flag were at once
resented by the first American man Of
war VIII ch received the news, wthoui
waiting order from the Department, there
would not be many instances OF Brit
ish insolencG after the rule was adopted.
And in all seriousness, thls course should
be adopted. Our captains have a right
to consider, whenever they here OF an
outrage upon our flag, that their own
counirymcn are right and that the fore
ign vessel is wroug-and thinking this
act accordingly. Let the investigation
of right or wrong be subject matter for
diplomatic inquiry and explanation
Bat let the insult be at once repealed.
and If il turns out we were ovcr-hasiy
then can The explanation te made IN
choicest phrase, as any Lord Palmcrsion
will probably do in the present case. In
this respect we may well take a leaf OF
instruction from the conduct OF our
ncighbors. The English flag is never
insulcd without being speedily Wind.

of the insult. Why should the Ameri-

ARSENIC EATERS IN AusTEA.---A

ARSENIC EATERS IN AUsTRIA.---A
poisoning case al Chill has procured the
publication of some interesting facts re-
specting arsenic eaters OF Lower Aus
tril and Syria. In both these provinces
it appears to be common custom
among the peasantry 10 consume every
morning n small portion Of tae deadly
poison, in the same manner as the
Eastern world consumes opium.
DR.. Tschudi the well known traveller
publishes an account of several cases
which have come TO his knowledge
The habit does not seem 10 be so per-
niciOus in its results as hat Of opium
eating 1t is commenced by taking
very small dose, say somewhat less than
halt a gram, every morning, which Is
gradually increased to two or three
grains.
The case OF IL hale old farmer is men
toned, whose morning whet of arsenic
reached the incredible quantity OF four
grains. The effect il produces is very
curious. The arsenic eaters grow tat
and ruddy, so much so that the practice
is adopted by lovers Of both sexes, in
order to please their swecihearts. Ii
relieves the lungs and head very much
when mounting steep hills and entering
into a more rariiied atmosphere.
