Our WESTERN RAILWAY ExTENsroNs.-An
article in the ST. Louis Republican, bearing
the caption, "Phladelphia, Fort Wayne, and
Platte River Air Line Railroad" makes the
following statement:
"By articles of association filed with the
Secretary of State for the State of Iowa, in
the month OF February, 1853, this company is
fully empowered to construct railroad from
the Mississippi river, opposite New Boston,
through Wapello, to Council Bluffs. This is
the Iowa portion of that great road which, on
account of its airline peculisrty, neither tur-
ming to the wight hand nor to the left for any
consideration, is considered the shortest route
even from Philadelphia to Sacramento City,
the distance from Philadelphia 10 Council
Bluffs, by this line, surveyed and located all
the wsy, being only l.242 miles, while the
distance from New York to Sacramento City
BY this route is stated 3lO8 mles-the dis
tance from Council Bluffs to Sacramento City
being estimated at 1929 miles,
This road when completed is destined to be
of great importance to Philadelphia, being the
direct extension OF our own airline road from
Philadelphia to the western boundry of Iowa.

PROFESSOR Thomas Holloway, of London.
IL IS now several years since this beneeactor
OF the human race first proclaimed TO the
world, through the British press, that he had,
a''er deep research, prepared a remedy that
was sure to eradicate disease. Years of
patent investigation into the laws of biiman
physiology which control out bodies in Health
and when diseased, led to the invention and
preparation Of the world.renowped Ho1-
LowAY's Pills and OIkTMEtT. Nearly, if
not quite one half OF the human race have
taken his medicines! His name is as ,Inyers-
ally known over the globe as that of Alexsn-
DER Napoleon, or Washington, when in the
he'ght OF their ambitious career. If thew

lessor Holloway has, with no weapon but that
OF science, conquered disease in all its forms

Isolated country or nation was sufficiently
extensive for the operation ofhs enterprisinp
and gigantic intellect, Wherever disease has
a residence, there he has penetrated with his
medicines, and left an enviable and enduring
reputation. After enlghtening Europe, his
fame spread over Asia and the civilized Dor.
tions of Africa, and finally appeared in
America. He has translated the cures he hss
performed and the Virtues of his medicines
into as many languages as the missionaries
have the Bible. Governments, otherwise the
most despotic, have been forced by the great
value Of his medicines, and their popularity
with the people, to remove antiuuated and
tlme-honored restrictions upon the introduc.
tion OF foreign medicines, and open their cus-
tom houses to free introduction to the pills
and ointment of this distinguished man. EN-

-Unnatural Parents and Innocent Chitdren.-
"What's your name, sonny? said we to a
pretty little boy, about three years old, led by
a lit,le maid twice as old, in noighboring
town lately. The little fellow made no reply
bu, on our asking him again he hung his head
as if ashamed to tell, and at our third asking
began to sob and cry as if his heart would
break. We were neerly frightened out OF
our wits, for we didn't know but some jury
might find us guilty of soaring him TO death,
"For mercy's sake, what ails hint" said we to
his young companion; "what is his name"
"His name is Franklin Pierce ,Totole," said
she, her face turned crimson. Here was the
mystery, and we did not wonder that The fel-
low was weeping over the insult that he was
not big enough to resent. We felt peniient,
80 we took the mcurnor on our knees, and
told him soothingly, there was "nothing IN a

of his were fathers fault and not his, and tina,
he would soon be old enough to apply to the
Legislature tor charge of name. The latter
statement relieves us. for he smiles through

War Between the United States and EngInnd---Th



late Liverpool journal ridicues the idea of war
between England and the United States and says it
would be grand act of national insanity The
same paper thus speaks OF of the consequence
of IL war betw, en- the two nations:
England is at present engaged in war which
costs her thirty toIty millions year, and is adding
about twenty millions year to her already enormous
national debt. A war with the United States would
double her expenses, and leave her. at the end of it,
with national debt of thousand to twelve hundred
millions of pounds sterling.
England has already urgen necessity for
erv soldier whom she raise for service in the
Crimpu but if she goes to with The United States
she must find $4,000 10 10000 additional soldiers or
abandon her possessions in America; for, loyal as
arc tie people of Canada and of the British Vest
Indes it is not be supposed that they will either
be able willing to resist the whole military force Of
the Unei states, year after year, during long and
desperate war, without the aid of powerful Eng.
lish army.
& England is at present dependant on the Unted
States Tor three fOurths of the Cotton which poys
her manufacturing population and if any consider
able quantity of gram flour is TO be obtained from
anVwherc this year. it will be from the United States
and from Canada. A war with America, therefore
means bread al starvation prices, and half OF our
manufacturing population starving and riotirg in our
streets.
England al present, every year sends abroad
manu- featured goods. and other products of British
industry of The value of hundred millions sterling
and receives equal amount of products of foreign
industry in return. All this prodigous amount OF
national wealth, with the ships which convey it, will
bee 1me lawful prize to a swarm of American Priva-
eers from the day on which war is declared.
- In addition TO the miseres and the crimes which
such war will produce during its Continuance, ii
will leave behind it the most deadly hate between
the people of England and the people of kindred
race, who will, in few years, form great commu
nltv, of hundred of millions of souls, stretching
across the North American continent from the AT
lanuc to the Pacific oceans
The writer, however, draws some consolation from
the supposed fact that, in of war, the Uniel
States would have to fight not only England, blu
France Spain, Turkey Denmark and Austria; tina
sed by privaeers, and be in danger from the slav
population. He concludes therefore, that both coun
tres would lose by war, and that the people haC
better to it, that such rarcida conflict shall
take place"
