[c5W We perceive from the Edingburh News,
that Mr.. Hugh Miller, the geologist, has written
an ingenious reply to Mr.. MacauIy's assertion of
the superiority of distinguished university men
for the practical affairs of life. The instances
adduced by Mr.. Miller, if they do not refute Mr.
Maeauieys statements. at least show how much
may be SAID on the other side of the question.
Two boys We're once of a class in the Edil-
burSh Grammar School--John, ever trim. pre-
else aud duX Walter ever sloveny confused
and dol. In due time John became Ballie
John. OF Hunter Square, Edinburgh; and Wal
ter became Sir Walter Scott of the universe
Oliver Cromwell got but nditferently through
college; John Churchill spelt but badly, even
after he bad beaten all the most accomplished
soldiers OF France; and Arthur " elleslev was
but an unlntormed and vacant young lad for
some tire after acquiring his commission In
literature, besides Scott, the instances of Gold
smith, Cowper, Dryden, Swift, Chalmers John
son and others cited, to show that excellence
is often attained IN the absence of precocity.
The converse, indeed. is often true and the
proverb ot " Soon ripe, soon rotten,' too often
verified The competition scheme. according
to Mr. Miller. would have on the whole the Ell
feet OF not only excluding the truly able but al
so of admitting the inefficient. The class is
large OF those who seem to attain to their full
developement in the contest ofthe academy and
the college; and, eminent there never to be
heard of afterwards. Mr.. AIiler's own case is
one i'll point. where hi CHEST scientific and tera-
ry eminences have been gained without iuve
nile scholastic distinctions.-Ho Journal.

New Orleans and Pacific Railroad.

The Louisiana Legislature of 1852. incorpo-
rated "a company tor constructing railroad
from Alglers, a town on the Mississippi opposite
New Orleans, to some point on the Sabine, favo-
rabie Tor constructing railroad through Texas
10 El Paso, Oh the Rio Grande, at about the 22d
degree north, and thence to the Pacific ocean.
The distance from New Orleans 10 San Diego is
estimated at 1000 miles. From New Orleans to
Logansport on the Sabine, il is $40 miles. This
section, reaching the eastern State line OF Tex
as, is To be constructed under the Louisiana
charter. From Logansport to Ell Paso the ives
tern boundary OF Texas, the distance is 04 miles.
This section, 1t is expected, will be cons rucied
by company of spectators, politicians and
planters from various States of the Union but
principally from the North, who sought a char
ter from The last Texan legislature aud which
charter, making liberal donations of public land
as Il bonus, passed both branches OF The Lessla-
ture, but Tor some cause other Than that OF exec
ullve hostility. failed to become law because
oi the absence OF the Governors signature; ; bur
the friends OF this movement are confident that
at the next session it viii be renewed and iri-
umphamty carried.
We have beeu thus specific In the detail of the
condition OF the Texan bill, because many peo-
pie are under the impression that this railroad
bill mas becUme d law, and that the company
was prosecuting this work with great earnest
ness and energy. This move, alike with that OF
4ouisiaHh' we LOOK upou as scheme gotten up
bya knot otspecplators to obtain IA large amount
OF public lands belonging TO Texas.
From El Paso, the road it is designed shall
pass through the northern portion Of Cnihuahua
ana tue State OF Sonora striking the south bank
OF the tilla river, by way of the MesslIa Valley,
crossing HE Rio Colorado on the 33d parallel OF
north latitude, and thence to San Diego. The
distance from Ell paso is estimated at 30 miles
