PACIFIC Northumberland RoUTE.-
The Herald says Senator Gwin is out in a
long letter against Col. Benton's great GEN.
trail route for the Pacific railroad. DR.. OWNS
evidence, however, was hardly necessary to
prove that this great central route crosses
vast mountain ranges, timberless plains, and
horrible and bowling deserts, for hundreds
of miles, These facts are well known
Nor is there any route between the Missis-
sippi river and the Pacific ocean by which
massachusetts, and timberless plains can be
escaped. The wilderness in which the Is
raelites were kept laundering about for for
ty years, MS punishment for their sins, is n
nero pea patch compared with the volcanic,
sandy wastes, stretching away from Oregon
down into the very heart Of Mexico, and
which cannot be evaded by our Pacific rail-
road neither by the central nor by any other
route. The mountains may be circumvented
by the southern route where they descend
and melt away into the Mexican table lands;
but that route involves purchase Of Mexi-
can territory. We must wait, then, the is
sue of Gen. Gadsden's mission to Santa An
ma before we can adopt that route. For all
practical railroad purposes, however, the diff
ferences between Col. Benton's route and DIR.
OWNS are scarcely more important than the
differences between tweedledum and twee-
dedce. The road is n humbug

The WAR UPON THE ADMINISTRATION
The New York Herald continues the war up
on the administration. We find the follow
ing in late number:
The war now opens. Very soon il will
be necessary to have platiorm-broad and
general as the Union, and staunch and COM
pact us The cOnstitution-for this new party
of ours. We shall find the materials among
the floating sticks Of timber cut loose from
the Baltimore platform and the compromise
measures by the Cabinet. And we say now,
that quite enough is developed TO show that
the contest to be waged by this new party
will be contest against the stool pigeon de-
mOcracy, who have ragged themselves under
this free soil and secession coalition spells
Cabinet, and on their rckety spells platform
All other issues, all other questions, all the
little details of Il general policy, will be made
subordinate, in the campaign of 1856, to the
great moral and constitutional issues which
have been so coolly repudiated by the adj.
ministraton. 1t is manifest that the whole
object of the tOol-pigeon democracy is to
secure themselves for another term of four
years by securing the reelection of General
Pierce-they are in the same boat with the
Cabinet. As for Gen. Cass and Judge Doug.
las, they have voluntarily placed themselves
in the background. But in the elections for
the next Congress there will be some strik.
ing developments, among which we may eX.
peet the appearance of two Of the three in
dependent candidates and tickets for the
next Presidency, North and South, and a to,

CONGRESSIONAL PRoCEEDINGs.-The U. S.
Senate, on Tuesday, spent the greatest por-
ton of the day in Executive Session Peti-
tons to recognise Liberia were presented, and
other unimportant business transacted.
In the House of Representatives the Ma
val Committee reported Bill appropriating
S3,0OO,OOO for the construction of six steam
ships, to be built under the direction Of the
Secretary of the Navy.
The resolution providing for the purchase
of Mount Vernon by the United States, was
laid on the table by a vote of 81 to IS. 1t
was strenuously opposed by the Virginia del
egation.
The resolution voting sword AVID the
thanks Of Congress to Captain lne@ham,
was referred to the Committee On Foreign
Relations.
The bill that has been introduced in the
House to give four years credit on the duties
of Rail Road Iron, met with bitter opposition,
and long debate cnsued, but the House re-
fused to lay it on the table by very strong
vote.

TELEGRAPHIC RUMoRs.-rhe Geographic
correspondents Of the Northern papers fur
n!sh the following on dis:
1t is said that the President has determined
to call Chas. J. Mcdonald to the War De.
partment, in place of Jefferson Davis, Who il
is believed, will be elected Senator from Mis-
sissippi, notwithstanding the efforts of Gov
ernOr Brown, who is an open candidate for
the position. This course has been deter
mined upon TO get Mcdonald out Of Mr..
Cobb's way, SO rs TO allow the latter to come
to the Senate from Georgia. Mr. Mcdonald
was President of the Nashville Convention,
and is a fire eater of the Jefferson Davis
school, 50 tina; his elevation to the War DE
partment will still leave the Cabinet a unit.
The continued absence of Senator Toombs
from his seat has been freely commented
upon, and has given some color Of probability
to a statement that belligcrent correspnn.
dence was in progress between the Senator
and the Secretary of War, having ITS origin
in the mutual insults and examinations passed
in their recent letters on the Compromise
Measures.
Senator Clemens was invited to address a
very Hard meeting in Philadelphia. In his
letter declining, he declares his friendship for
the Administration. He says the Admins
tration, like all others, committed some or
rors, but assaults would he in better taste

THE CLOSING YEAR.

In few brief hours more 1853, with
all its stirring incidents, its joys and its sor-
rows, its clouds and its sunshine, its pleasant
prospects and unsubstantial reaities,will have
passed away. With many the close of the year
is the time for moralizing, for getting up SEN
tiInental homiles, and if it were possible
for US to maintain q serious mood for any
length of time, we might, perhaps, paint a
very dreary and melancholy picture; but us
we like to look ut the bright side Of things
and to kick the dark as far out of sight rs
possible, we spare our readers the inilictioh,
believing that, like ourself, they would rather
"laugh and grow fat" than be bored to death
with grief 1t is true every passing year adds
to the cares and responsibilities of life as well
as wrinkles to the brow, but what matters it as
long as the feelings retain their freshness
and yerdurc and the sunshine Of the heart
remains uncloudedl We have, in the course
of our lifs's dull round, met with men upon
whose heads the frosis of time had made
their mark, vet whose hearts were untouched
and the affections us kindly and fresh as in
the early gush of youth. These are they
who take the world as they find it, enjoying
the good, eschcwing the evil, and letting 1t
20 for what it is worth. Would there were
more of such, and fewer Of the eternal
croakers who go about with cadaverous faces
and complaining tongues, and who cannot,
among the blessings present on every hand,
find anything from which to extract pleasure
| or consolation! The last are the bghting
shadows that fall upon the pathway Of social
enjoyment and plant thorns by the wayside
for many who would otherwise pass along
cheerily and unscratched.
The passing year we suppose has been
about an average onc-fruitful in good and
not without the usual amount of evil Many
who started with bright antieipations have
been cut down or foied in their undertakings
others, whose sky was clouded and dark
have had the burthen removed and now look
out upon a cheering future. Stirring nc
cidents by flood and field have occurred n.
usual-the pestilence has walked ut MONDAY
through some portions of the land, while
others, and much the largest, have escaped thu
affection, and been blessed with health anC
plenty. Old ocean, with its storms and TEN
pests, has borne upon its bosom in safet!
thousands who have sought our shores, whil
"A few have been lost, gone down
'1nto the deep. with bubbling groan,
nknell'd, uncotiin'd, and unknown"
SO, to make an abrupt conclusion, for we ar
travelling out of our line, it may be said tn
events, incidents, and occurrences Of the yen
have been of about an average character-a
admixture of good and evil, the former, pei
haps, largely preponderating. May the ar
- preaching one prove as full of blessings an
, find US all at its expiration with as niue
cause for contentment and gratitude as W
now have.

tB- A portion of the first page oftoday's
paper is occupied with what purports to be n
temperance document. BY reference to the
last part of it, it will be seen that we are re-
ouested, in an abrupt and cavalier manner, to
publish it as an "act of justice" We COM
ply, not because we recognise any principle
of justice requiring us to occupy over two
columns of our paper with an article in reply
to one of less than n columns length, but
as q matter of personal courtesy to the gen.

are not mcm6er of the order, and know
nothing of the merits Of the controversy be-
tween the Athens Division and the Knoxville
Committee. The former we understand Will
have reply out next week; and we hope it
will be as brief as possible, as the matter
is one that can excite but little interest out
side of the Division rooms, and cannot be
of any advantage to the cause of Temper
ance.

A CITY AsLEEP.-The New York Tribune
has the following pretty thing in reference
to Greenwood Cemetery;
A dny or two ago we visited city, popu-
lous city, whose houses will outlast New
York, for they shall endure "till dOomsday."
Strange to say, il is not noted on the best
maps: strange to say, though its population
is daily increasing, no colony ever issues
from its border.
The golden chime Of Pacifc's waves has
never charmed single ear there; the shout
of the pioneer in the further west has never
lured them hence to seek new homes. In
deed, the city we speak of stands alone, like
a rock bound isle in the midst of turbulent
ocean-the busy world whirls and roars
around, but there it remains unmOved.
We visited it in broad day, but the streets
were empty, not familiar face or voice to
greet us; not light fo0tstep to make music
to our ear. 1t WAS strange, very strange;
there shOne the sun, with the mild and beau
,ful radiance of autumn, and vet no sound
of living thing. Marble mansions were on
every hand, but none of the solemn city came
forth to meet and welcome us. Names were
/ graved on every portal, but they that owned
them-where were they! 1t was a city OF
names and not Of things; of words, and not
/ of works.
At length there came train-thcre was
an arrival. On it came, noselessly, slowly.
Was it all dream! by mansion after man
sion it passed, and stopped. A tenant foT
another dwelling, Il home for another wan
derer; rest for another weary.
So it seemed to MS as we stood there, and
so the shadows thickened over the thought
we hurried away from Greenwood, and were
once more mingled with the tide Of the
living.
