Our RA1LRoAD-We learn from the Darlington
Flag. that the Engineers of the Cheraw and Darling
ton Railroad have just completed new survey from
Darlington TO Mr.. McCown's for a permanent loca-
on of the Road in connection with the Northeastern
Road. The route is straight line from Mr.
McCowns to Darlington, passing through the east edge
OF the village. increases The length of the road
and quarter miles, but in some other respects it is
superior to the Western route-CheraU Gazette.
Robert Walsh, esq, veteran correspondent who
has resided long in Europe, thus writes from Paris:
81 used to distrust the British government and
people, and thought that it with them the Uni
ted States would ultimately have to engage in a
strife mortal to or the other. My present i'm
pressons are widely different. Dispositions and
views are not the same in Great Britain. The uni
versal sense of vast enlargement and irresistible
advances of American power; the indefinite extern
sion and multiplication of mutual interests; the
more frequent various, and intimate personal inter-
course the religious literary and scientific inter-
communication; the effects and facilities of Steam
navigation; American Importance with the world at
large; the new sympathies and ties resulting from
the prodigal emigration, and the progress of the
Democratic element, spirit, influence and tendencies
In the British political and social system-hese and
other salient changes have begotten general good
Will, rule OF reconciliation, general earnestness fov
the perpetuity ofrelatons and feelings such as be
come cognate races and Institutions and a common
acknowledgement of the precepts and ends of Chris
! tianity.'
