THE MEDIATION PRoPosITIoN.--A sensible
conclusion has been arrived at in the House of
Representatives in respect to the proposition of
this Government offering its mediation between
the European bclligerents. Mr.. .Bayly, chair
man of the Committee on Foreign Relations,
referred to the NATTER on Thursday, thus:
Il believe | can say with entire confidence
that, from feelings ofhumanity, there is no men,
Der of this House, and no person connected with
this Government, who would not be glad to see
an end put to this war; but with nations as with
individuals, it is very delicate matter to offer
mediation between parties at war with each 9TH
err. have reason to believe, and can say to this
House with entire confidence in my sources Of
information, that from the proper quarter over
lures were made upon the part of this Govern
ment in respect to this matter, and that, upon
the whole, it was not thot advisable for us 10
interfere at all. Such being the case, shall not
be prepared to sustain the proposition to medi-
ate on this occasion"
Mr.. Bayly, by his promptness, has probably
saved several days of the precious time of Con-
gress which might have been wasted upon this
subject. His conclusion respecting mediation
will, we are sure, be approved of by the coun-
try.

PEACE IN EURoPE.-Kossuth writes the N. Y.
Times, that England is preparing to enter into a
disgraeeful peace. The Austrian alliance does
not mean re-invigorated war, but renewed inves-
tgation.
There is show Of reason in this ! And if
the end should be, that Austria is again TO re-
new the Principalties, she would be the only
gamer.
Every effort has been tried to make the War
popular, or seemingly popular in England !;
been the most odious War that ever taxed the
resources and stained the military fame of Eng
land.
In France it is coneededsy an odious War-a
war got up to give vent to the military enthusi-
asm of the people, and waste its too dangerous

Sup't Buffalo g. State Line r. r

LAKE MICHIGAN q Port Huron RAILROAD
Notice was taken of this contemplated road by
Gov. Bingham, in his inaugural message to the
Legislature, which Swallowed pretty clearly his
views Of the Importance of the work. A bill
amending the charter has already been introdu.
ed in the House Of Representatives, asking fol
such amendments to the charter as will secure
its rapid commencement and completion. The
Lapeer Democrat re-publishes the able report
of Mr.. Shanly, the engineer upon the line of the
road and TO show the utility of the work, we ex-
tract the following paragraphs
"On due east and west line from Port Hu.
ron the width of the Peninsula is Just 200 miles
to Grand Haven, on Lake Michigan, the point
contemplated as the western terminus of our
road, and where there is spacious and well
sheltered harbor. The same line produced in
tersects the flourishing city Of Milwaukee occu-
plying commanding position on the western
coast of the lake, and the commercial metropo-
lis of the great State of Wisconsin. The De-
troit Daily Times, speaking of the business
prospects of the Port Huron e. Lake Michigan
Railroad thus compared the extent of territory
tributary to the Central and Southern Roads
with that from which the Northern line would
draw its revenue.
"No section of the State Of Michigan offers
more productive resources than that portion
through which this road will run. The first and
second tiers of counties in Michigan, running
east and west, are penetrated thro' nearly their
entire length by the Southern Michigan and
Michigan Central Railroads, and the total area
of the counties which these two roads pierce, is
only S,O66 square miles, while the third, fourth
and fifth tiers of counties, that must, per force
give their trade to the Port Huron and Lake
Michigan Road comprises over 1000 square
miles"
