THE Pacific RAnRoAD-A Novel IDEA-A
writer in the Scientific .ame,ican proposes to build
the great Pacific railroad not on the ground, but
about eight feet above it. He would have the
whole distance piled, and on these piles he would
place the roadway. The idea is a novel one, and
if a railroad could be built equally strong on this
plan as on any other, we do not see what is to
prevent the pile-drver from triumphing over the
barrow and pick-axe, grant that there be no OBJ
lection to the strength and longevity OF such a
road and it possesses advantages that place it tar
in advance of any other mode of construction. Ii,
the first place, it would be free from dust; second
lY, it would never become obstructed by snow
drifts; thirdly it would be somewhat springy in
its nature, and thus allow locomotives to make
better time with less wear and tear than the ex-
perience on roads made perfectly solid. That
road built on piles can be rendered practicable, is
shown by our Hudson river Railroad people Be-
tween Albany and New York there are some
twenty miles over which the rails are laid on piles.
Just below Hudson there is one single stretch of
upwards of four miles This portion of the road
wears as well as any other; while it's entire free
dom from dust makes it one of the most pleasant
pieces of the whole route.
The protector of the pile road proposes also
other Improvement. Instead of placing cars
above the rails, he intends to let them hang be-
tween them By means of properly shaped
axle this is very easily done, and when it is done
one hundred miles hour can be made without
any fear whatever that the will fly from the
track or bring up in gravel pit. road built
upon piles, the Scientific american says, can be
constructed for $4,000 per mile. If this be so,
| it would make the whole cost Of the New York
and San Francisco railroad less than thirty mil
lions of dollars, which is seventy millions of
dollars less than road can be built for on any
other known plan A road resting on piles would
have very little grading to do. Where the land
declined, the level could be preserved by driving
the piles smaller distance into the earth; where
the land ascended, the same level could be pre-
served by driving the piles into the soil an in
| creased distance

Prospectus of the weekly Republic.


The subscribers having purchased the in
terest of Messrs. GIDEON s. Co. in this paper,
have determined to establish at the seat Of the
Federal Government weekly paper under
the editorial control Of w. M. BURwELL, OF
Virginia, and according to the following synop-
sis of doctrine:
The maintenance of the rights Of the States
as indispensable to the permanence Of the
Union.
The restriction of the Federal Government
within the limits of the Constitution and the
honest administration of its departments.
The maintenance of the Compromise law as
a solemn and final settlement of the questions
which it involves.
The maintenance of foreign policy which
will protect national honor and individual
rights.
The acquisition by honest purchase of such
territory as the growing wants of the nation
may require. without any Federal restriction
upon the rights of property therein, and with
the unqualified right in the citizens thereof to
establish State governments, and demand ad-
mission as equal sovereign members of the Con
federacy.
Since no friendship, personal or political, car
be permanent unless based upon independence
and equality, the Republic will advocate the
more uniform diffusion of tho constitutional
balance of sections will thus be preserved, not
by protest or constitutional construction, but
by something like equality of population,
commerce, industrial skill, and available
capital. This will imply the advocacy Of
Southern development, the encouragement Of
immigration, and the transfer Of capital and
enterprise into the Southern States, the con-
nexion of Southern seaports with the productive
interior of the West and Northwest, their parli-
cipation in the trade just opening with the rich
regions Of Southern America, and the dawning
commerce of the African and Asatic Pacific.
The promotion of intercourse and the resto-
ration of harmony between the two great sec
tons will constitute the strongest bond of Fed
eral union, the surest guarantee against foreign
Intervention, and will SO Intervene our social
and pecuniary relations as to render rivalry,
oppression, or separation impossible.
In the execution Of the purpose indicated a
paper must be placed beyond the reach Of
power or party; it should be based upon the
broad substratum Of popular support. The
proprietors of the Republic ask neither aims
nor stipend. They offer cheap medium of
information. The foreign and domestic news
an impartial review of measures pending before
the Governments weekly condensation of the
public gossip, none the worse perhaps of few
days. fltration--such literary selections as may
be interesting or improving. To effect their OBJ
jects, they ask such patronage as may be con-
sistent with the interest and approval of the
public, aud with this they will endeavor to
verify the professions of their prospectus.
TERMS: Two dollars per annum, payable in
advance. The first number to be issued on the

senator Atchison on the Pacific Road.

senator ACCnlSOn OH the FdCIHC nOdu.
We cut from the st. Louis Democrat, the great
organ of the Benton party, the following notice
of Senator Atchson's speech on the Pacific Rail-
road. The Democrat copies it without comment
from the local paper. 1t manifests, perhaps, a
symptom of desire on the part of the 'Hards"
to bury the hatchet on former differences, and
unite with Colonel Benton on the Pacific Rail
road question::
"On Saturday last Senator Atchison spoke in
this place to large and attentive audience. The
subject Of this speech, set forth in the notice,
was the Central Railroad to the Pacific, and
Nebraska Territory Mr.. Atchson expressed
himself fully on these two great subjects, and to
the entire satisfaction of his hearers. His position
in regard to the central route to the Pacific was
such as met with the appreciation of all parties.
He was in favor of it, and the mouth of the Kan
sas or st. Joseph, the starting point His
views in regard to the organization and settle
ment of Nebraska were those, we believe, he has
always entertained. Throughout his speech, when
he had occasion to speak of Colonel Benton it was
generally done in respectful manner, quite diff
ferent from what has frequently been the case.
"The ladies', too, seemed to be aware that he
was a bachelor without asking any questions that
he was about building handsome private resi-
dencc on a beautiful eminence up here in Platte;
thought that he was good looking, and made n
sensible speech
"Mr Atcbison has presented copy of his
speech for publication, and in our next issue we
expect to lay it before our readers.

1t is impossible that any American can esti
mate correctly the vast influence which the op-
position to the administration of Lord NORTH
exerted in behalf of the infant efforts of the
colonies When we read the daily battles
which occurred in Parliament, when we see
that the cause of the Americans was main
tanned to be the cause of Engishmen, and thai
the tyrannicaI principles of GEORGE the Third
were opposed because they might next be en-
ployed for the subjugation of his own more i'm
mediate subjects, we become convinced that
the Wing opposition to the divine right and
passive obedience doctrines of the Tories, was
one of the chief causes of American success
1t divided the councils and impaired the po
tency Of the British government, whilst it en-
couraged the colonists by placing their efforts
upon the high ground of civil and religious lib
erty.
No one can read the life Of Fox compiled by
Wing statesman, without seeing that the
eloquent advocacy of Fox, BURKE, and BARRE,
was worth more to America than the arms of
France or the money Of Holland.
We should commend the careful perusal 0
this work with the sequent volumes as the,
shall be published, as constituting the mos
important and authentic materials for the study
of revolutionary history.

ExTRAoRDINARY DEvoTIoN MOTHER TO
Two INSANE CHLpREN.-The Hagerstown (Md.) J

s'About forty years ago son and daughter of
this old lady, both insane idiotic, brought
to the ams-house of this county Soon after
wards the mother left her home, and those of her
children who were able to take care of themselves
took up her residence at the alms-house with her
afflicted and helpless offspring, and watched over
them and ministered to their wants, as mother
only can do, until the bodily and mental infirmi-
ties attending the aged disqualified her for
longer discharge of this noble duty. She was
worth about ten thousand dollars in her own right
when she thus mmured herself in this unattractive
building, but she cheerfully surrendered all the
comforts and enjoyments which such pecuniary
competency afforded-severed the ties of friend
ship and gave up the pleasures of society that she
might bestow mothers love upon those who
most needed it. What proof of the intensity of
that love! What fact for the records of Heaven
