The Panama Railroad.

The coinpetion, of she railroad from Aspin-
wall TO Panama marks an EZRA in the commerce.
Of much more consequence than any of recent
times. The mountain barrier between the ALL
lahtic and the Pacific is now overcome, and al
easy and, rapid transit is offered for any ouanitk
kofJ Jmercl. andize. The immense difficultiesand
the long delays In the construction of the work
have diminished the public interest in the enter
prise; but now that it is successfully compile
ted and The trains are running regularly, we We
may expect it to spring. Immediately into pub
lie notice and fIvof.I . Il ftGttf tVA !
The most direct and sensible adyantare that
the United States will derive from the new rail
road will be in the increase Of facilities ofcon-
mnnlcatiOn between California and the Atlantic
States. The terrible difficulties of the Isthmus
transit and the enormous cost Of TRANSFORMATION
have prevented the use of that route for the
conveyance OF freight in large Quantities. and
1t was found safer and cheaper to ship goods by
the long and tedious route around Cape Horn.
But during voyage Of that kind, ranging from
three to SIX months markets are often com
pletely revolutionized, and an adventure that
promised well in February has proved ruipous
IN June. The completion of the railroad will
make the regular time for transporting goods
from New York to San Francisco not to exceed
one month, so that the market risks are very
much reduced, to say nothing of the risks of the
long and dangerous southern voyage. AT the
same time the shippers gam the inestirnab bic adj
vantage OF much spceder return for their
outlay. An entirely new character viii he
given to our California trade, and from h, vinr
been one Of the most uncertain and danocrous
of all trades, it will become as safe aud trlinbIe
as that with almost any country that has 10 be
reached by sea.
But the true greatness Of the Panama Rail.
road enterprise will be in It's character as the
g.eat highway Of all the nations of Europe for
Asia. 1t Is infinitely more than the real zation
OF all the dreams OF a Northwestern, passagc
could have amounted to; for now, with the
lines Of steam packets that must before loup
ru regularly to and from Aspinwa!l aud Paua
ma ana connect those ports with all the grrur
Harts OF the respective oceans, the most valua
Bile portion Of the trade with India, China
Jtpan, the Pa ifc islands, and the Westerl
ast OF South America, will inevitably tax,
that route. Aspinwall and Panama ought t,
become great commercial cities, and 50 the,
will, unless the incubus of Central American
restrictions and incidence shall weigh upol
them and defeat the energetic efiorts vi Ameri
can and other merchants who will be tempte,
