creek, presenting q mass Of ruins The engi-
neer, named Garvin, and the fireman, we're

tram coming out Of Wilmington, and in mis-
fright does not know what he did He thinks.
| however, that he raised the lantern, which was
the proper signal that all was right. Thus the

We give insertion this morning to two sig
ni6cant and important editorial articles, on The
proposition to construct railway 10 the Paci-
&c out OF the means of the Federal govern
ment. Ona Of them lie taken from the Wash
ington Union, and undoubtedly represents the
views Of the ajmnistration,an will give dIrec,
ton to the sentiments OF the party al large.
The other comes from the Richmond Enqpl.
rer. the organ Of Virginia democracy. and. II
not the exponent OF the present opinions ofthc
party in this State will control those opinions
and ultimately consirain them into the channel
it marks out. The views, opinions and con-
illusions OF the two organs are in direct and ir-
rcconcilable opposition. We publish them not
to make comment. at this time, but to mark
the point Of divergence between the admins.
traiion and the Virginia democracy. The va
rance seems TO Us radical, essential and in
,erminable. l, isimpossible just this time to
foresee and predict all that will result from it,
but II constitutes fact of uncommon moment
and interest in the history OF parties. We
shall closely watch It's progress

house at San Francisco under circumstances OF
peculiar difficulty. and was compelled to as
sumo many responsibilities in cases not provi.
ded for by law. In all such instances his
course was approved by the Treasury Depart
meni; and though as public officer he wa.
not acceptable to the lawless part of the popu
lation Of the city, he received the. most fa,ter
