The Administration and the Pacific Railroad
Project

The Administration and the Pacific Railroad
Project
For the last month we have done our
best to ascertain if possible whether the
Administration haze formed or expressed
any settled views upon the Pacific rail-
road question, and candidly confess that
we have not been able to obtain the slight
est reliable inkling in this connection.
Messrs. Jefferson Davis and Guthrie, on
the late Crystal Palace inaugurating tour,
declared in favor of the constitutionality
of the Governments connection with it
under the defence clause, whenever it's
construction may thus become necessary.
No one, If we are not mistaken, has vet
heard the President or any third member
of the Cabinet speak on the subject.
True, the Union advocates the project.
But the editor of that journal has taken
due care to say that, in so doing, he was
merely expressing his own opinions. In
view of these facts we are inclined to believe
that most of us of the press who have
been crediting the Administration with
having formally taken their stand upon
the question, have been writing ahead
of time;;" and that, in truth, no one out
side of the Cabinet has yet the slightest
reliable information concerning the posi-
ton in which they will eventually be
found upon this question.

German adopted citizens held meeting, and
adopted resolutions TO support no man for
Office who would not, if elected, especially
lend his efforts for the benefit of this class of
people. They also made 1t sine qna non that
Magistrates "a certain portion of them) should
be able to speak German. Several other SIM

seems to have aroused the Native American
spirit, and tonight a very large meeting

parties-is being held In Monument Square
Several speakers have already addressed the
assemblage, and there seems to be much en-
thusiasm. 1t has now been determined by
the Natives to bring out full ticket of candi-
dates for the various State and city Offices, and
run it at all hazards Thus another now Gle
ment has been set in motion, which will. from

disarfange the calculations of the two old par
ties. had no idea that on so short notice
they could collect so large and enthusiastic a
meeting. The fact is, about one half the
voters of Baltimore are perfectly lukcwarm in
reference to politics and the old partizan de-
markations. They seem to be ripe and ready
for almost anything novel, and more disposed
to so in for frolic, than for anything else
They care but little which party triumphs

We have had another day of showers and
storms, some three or four occurring since

1t would seem that the american Office has

eign specific for the yellow fever. The
plant is known in the South American
flora as the 'Vcrbena Brazilienzi," and is
spoken of by Humboldt as the s.Verbena
Caracasana." 1t is probable that the
plant already exists in the United States.
but if not it may be readily cultivated in
the Southern States. Mr.. Steele has for
varied a package of the seed, a part of
which the Secretary of State has placed
III the hands of the government horticul-
turist, and the remainder has been for
warded to distinguished gentleman con-
nectcd with the Medical University at
New Orleans. If the plant possesses the
eminent mechanical virtues described to
it its introduction in our motcria modica
is matter of first Importance.

MINING IN EAST TENNESSEE The min
eral resources Of Tennessee are beginning
to attract the attention of European cap.
italists. Some of the copper ores of that
region have been sent to London and
analysed, and company in that city
have sent out an agent to examine and
purchase mining lands. This agent has
purchased three tracts in East Tennessee
oneof 100 acres, for Sl5O,OOO, another of
100 acres, for $4,000, and another $50.
O0O. A few years since these lands were
entered at from so cents down to one
cent all acre. With the copper are found
gold, silver, lead and zinc, but not in
quantities sufficient to Justify separation.
