HUNTING UP THE EXMES.

Switzerland has nude peace with France,
by abandoning honor and independence. Com
tent to have existence hereafter by sufferance Of
the French Government, she ceases to appear
as a power on earth, and sinks to the base level
of dependency. The refugees have been ex-
PEELED and if Sardinia yields. as she will
doubtless be obliged to, to The same dictation
the last avowed republican will be expelled
from the European continent. A melancholy
fact! Can it be that liberal principles are los,
ing ground in the world !? 1t looks very much
like it!
Greece, too, it seems, has been called upon
TO drive from her borders the Polish exiles,
who huve been domiciled there, Gar Nicholas
being the supposed instigator. 1t is thus
that the weaker states OF the continent-and
particularly those that have shown the least
disposition to exercise the privileges of indie
pendent natons-their privilege TO think and
act as they please in matters affecting their in
ternal administraiion-are rapidly degenera-
ting into the merest satellites and uppendages
of the Giant Despotsms Of Paris, ST. Peters
burg and Vienna.

Atlanta, e73 miles-from Richmond to Allan
To, $50 Giving the DansiIle road the advnn-
tage, in round numbers, OF 100 miles But
this shortening Of the distance is prevented,
says the virginian, by the topography o. Tue
country. This comes well from representa-
tive oil Lynchburg. which has undertaken 70
tunnel saoaHtaias in her great work. lhey
VIM do not reg ard mountains, are made to say
thai the hills Of the Champaign country are
;mnasseble The Virginian says vested rights
are also an obstacle. Yes, every thing is an
obstacle TO the Danv lille road, while there are
none too great for the fayorite route Of Lynch
burg! The yirgnian even bring forward the
Wilmington and Manchester road as danger
Gus competitor of the Danville route. Thus,
this unfortunate Danvile road is to be de-.
stroyed by the Tennessee road, which twice
crosses the Blue Ridge in It's deiour to the
West, and the sea-coast road, through its re-
gion of swamps, on the East! But, as in 9th.
er matters, the "MIDDLE COURSE" we
predict, will be found the true one-the route
for ease, health, safety and dispatch.
We repeat we have the most enthusiastic
ideas of the advantages to flow from the great
Va. and Tennessee line-which we regard as a
national line" But our appreciation of the
importance ofthe DanVille route is not incom-
patible with this sentiment. There is enough
for all the roads. The very counties through
which they pass TEEN with contributions for
their support. They are like rivers. The vol
ume ftrade and travel which they deliver at
their ter,nin is the tribute of every section of
territory, on their right and left, as they go on
their way rejoicing through the land. When
each railroad company and each section inter-
ested in the roads learn this general truth bet
ter, and learn TO be more liberal and just to one
another, they will cease their narrow policy of
trying to circumvent and injure each other !;
and they will be, for that reason, the more pros
porous. They would thus devote the energy,
now wasted in attempting to I'M ure each other,
to the advancement of their own interests.

The Yankee Trail and the Buffalo Tracks
The Lynchburg Virginian, desiring to rob
Danville of the credit of being in the line of
the great Yankee trail in other days, suggests
that the Yankees passed through Gainesville
and across the Roanoke at Sir Peyton Skip
with's ferry. Suppose they did, that ferry is
in the region Of the GREAT CHAMPAIGN ROUTE
East of the Blue Ridge from Northeast 10
Southwest. 1t is but thirteen miles out Of the
Danvlle track, and was, at one time, examined
with the view of crossing with The railroad at
that point But it is mistake. DanviIle was
the main point of crossing, and the Yankees
pursued their route thence by way of Salem
and Salisbury, n. c., along one of the finest
natural roads that any man ever travelled
The Virginian says that the Yankee pedlar
travels devious path in the pedling of his
wares. That is true. But those Yankees we
speak OF had no wares to sell as they travelled.
They drove empty wagons, and were not so
silly as to idle their time on the way when the
great harvest was ready for them in the South.
west. They sent their goods by sea, and hur
ried with as little delay as possible TO their
then Mecca, the newly settled cotton regions
of the South and Southwest!
The Virginian says the pedar and the buffa-
10 fly before the railroad car. This comparison
of the Yankee pedIar, one of the most indus.
trious and perseVerng of men, with the Bovine
ramblers of the primeval forests is not correct.
and entirely unjust to him. He certainly be-
l,ngs to the days of civilization. and long be-
fore he appears to dispense his goods and
wares, has the last of the buffaloes gone to
grass" There is no sort of comparison be-
tween them. In the matter of finding but the
part of the world where money is to be made,
and the shortest and best way to it, the Yankee
is an unerring guide.
