The TEXAS BRANCH OF THE PACIFIC RAIL-
RoAD--The statement which we publish this
morning from Messrs R. j. Walker and Thomas
Butler King, concerning the Texas branch of
the Pacific Railroad, 10y the southern route
shows that their contract has thus far been met,
and will continue to be met in the regular pro-
secution of the work. The Texas 70 id from its
eastern terminus, at the boundary line of
Louisiana, westward to FL Paso del Norte, will
be some eight hundred miles in len 9Th. For
each mile of this road the State grants to the
company some $4,000 acres Of land, or gross
amount Of over twenty millions of acres to aid
in the construction of the road. The company
have also the privilege Of selecting their lands
in the eastern section of the State, even for
the mileage Of the western section, which is q
comparatively desert region. This privilege
can hardly fail to secure the completion of the
work to Ell Paso in good time; and when the
road shall have been completed to that point
there will be continuous line from Charleston
to FL Paso From the value of the lands grant
ed the company expect to be paid for the road,
and to have surplus beyond thecost of setting
it in operation of several hundred thousand
dollars, besides the road itself Yet the work
when completed viii be worth to the State of
Texas twenty times the value Of the land
grants which she has made for it. We hope
the work will 60 on to Ell Paso, Beyond that
point II ia all moonshine.

UNION OF THE Soft AND HARD SHELLs.-We
see with much satisfaction that the list of soft
she'll nominations for Assembly is far from
complete, and that the prospect is, a large num-
Der of hard shell candidates will receive the
entire soft vote. This is as it should be-.
Should the softs agree to make no further Sc
psrate nominations and coalesce with the
hards, they would be certain of carrying the
Assembly, and thus defeating Mr.. Stewards
views on second term in the Senate. So i'm.
por'ant point is worth struggle. No sacri-
fee Of principle would be required of the softs !:
both they and the other wing Of the party
coincide on the Nebraska question; and no
other great subject is in issue. All that is
needed in order to secure the Assembly for the
democrats is that the softs should for once
make up their minds to forget personal enmi-
ties and join hand in hand with the national
democrats. Is it too much to expect that the
former will see the Importance of acting thus
and, whatever views may have formerly been
enter tanned, will honestly refuse to make an
c'her n IMITATION for Assembly, If not, we re-
gard democratic triumph for this part Of the
ticket a. certain.

The EUROPEAN WAR.-During the Mexican
war, when our little army was covering itself
with glory, aud winning battle after battle
against odds which almost sound fabulous, the
English press-on no occasion remarkable for
liberality towards the United States-was con-
spicuous in its sneers and insinuations that to
whip the Mexicans was NO great achievement,
after all. The dead and the wounded, however,
on both sides, tod different story, and record
tablet which will do full justice in history to
he gallantry Of our arms. But now that tie
British soldiery have had an opportunity of
showing what they can do, may we, without
being deemed obtrusive, inquire as to the re-
ult of their prowcss? With their French
allies, and outnumbering the Russians, they
succeeded in gaining sort Of victory at Alma,
and if they have yet taken Sebastopol, we have
not heard the news. In the north their achieve
ments are even less important. Sir Charles
Napier, having simply followed the example of
he ancient monarch of France, is back in
England to rest upon his laurels. We did not
make quite such q fuss in preparing for war as
England has; nor did we take q year to cross
the Rio Grande, and merely send our ships to
look at Vera Cruz aud then return home. And
yet we find writer's in the London papers silly
enough to talk Of England whipping Russia,
and then turning round and chastising the
United States. Bosh

have been accustomed to regard the govern
ments of our Colonial neighbors as somewhat
behind the age, but certainly in the recent
prompt action Of the Canadian government in
issuing proclamation practically allowing
their citizens to enjoy the advantages of the
Reciprocity treaty, in anticipation Of its going
into effect, an example has been set the authori-
ties in Washington, which il is to be hoped the
latter missionaries will speedily follow. Can
not Mr.. Peter G. Washington, the acting Secre-
tary Of the Treasury, induce the President to
permit him to issue another circular to Collec-
