Bsy-The Lynchburg Republican in notie-
ing the passage of the cars over the Allegha-
ny to Christiansburg, says, there are but two
States excepting Virginia, in which this
achievement has been accomplished Mary
land and Pennsylvania. In these States the
cost has been immense, and the time much
longer than has been required on this road
The passage of the Va, and Tenn. road over
the summit ofthe Allegheny has been effected
at infinitely less cost. and in less time. than
over either tho Baltimore and Ohio or the
Pennsylvania Central road, and with grades
not exceeding sixty feet to the mile.

THE EUROPEAN WAR.

AS the European War goes on, the strength,
power, and resources Of the Russian Empire
begin to be looked at, and estimated. A let
ter in the National Intelligcncer from the
veteran geographer and historian, VIM. Oar
by, refers to the attempt Of Napoleon, when
he invaded Russia with all Europe, almost,
at bis back, and thinks the results then do
not invite imitation. He asks, too, "Was
not the confidence Of Napoleon /. full as we'll
supported BY the then condition Of things as
the existing circumstances can offer! What
if Russia, or to speak more correctly, the
Russians, should prevail in the coming con-
test 1t will be an immense game Of chance,
aud the stakes arc held BY the Russians, who,
il victorious, will indeed, thenceforth be dan
gerous." Lord Derby, in his speech in the
British House Of Lords OH the war, said 81
fear, that the country has set its hopes and
expectations too high, with regard to the inn
mediate and direct success of the war which
VIC are about to undertake. I fear that it
undertakes the resources--morc especially
for the purposes of defensive warfare--of the
great antagonist whom We have to meet
that it undertakes the difficulties which must
be thrown in the way Of even The best conf
hicea operations Of the most gallant armies
and of the most powerful fleets, from cir
cumstances against which neither bravery
nor conduct can secure those fleets and ar
mies.''
The New York Express thinks that before
the war is over, Turkey will not be the only
" ;ick' nation in Europe. Even the Lon
don Times does not look for g short and
sharp" contest, but tells its readers, and
the world, that g it cannot be disguised that
the yastncss of the Powers involved in the |
present war, the depth of the causes which
have provoked it, and the Importance Of the |
principles at issue, all portend contest as
long and as changeful as any that have dar-
kened the annals of the world
