In regard to the best means of promoting the COM

rectly engaged in the trade, but would also contrib
ute to the prosperity of of the most important
branches Of our manufactures, and more remotely to
the general welfare of all industrial pursuits in

ant, step which could be taken for promoting the
commercial interests of our country in this region
would be the establishment of steam communication
between the two countries by way of Panama"
If the explorations and surveys now being made
on the isthmus of Panama, and which, from the re-
ports recently published in the leading journals of
the United States should result as they are likely to
do in solving the problem of interoceanc communi-
cation between the Atlantic and Pacific, this direct
route to New South Wales, China, and the East In
dies would soon become the worlds thoroughfare
and the Suez canal would eventually be abandoned.
The successful completion of shp-canal the
isthmus of Daren, whether along the bed of the
river Chagres as high up Cruces, and thence to
the bay of Panama, as contemplated, or by any
more feasible or practicable route, would produce
complete revolution in the commercial movements Of
Christendom.

TERRIBLE CATASTROPHE HE-TIaE LOSS OF THE

STEAMER CENTRAL AMERICA.
The suspense in the public mind in regard to the
missing steamer Central America has at length ter

column from Charleston, that intelligence has reach
ed that port Of the Inflated steamer She fouadered
of Cape Hocras tie l2th Of September Sixty
passengers were saved, The remainder estimated
at FIVE hundred, perished in the This is by far
of the most appalling disasters that we have
ever been called upon to record Seine days must
elapse before the particulars of this fearful calamity
reach
The Central America was commanded by Captain
w. l.. Herndos, of the United States navy whose
explorations of the Amazon have made his name fa-
miliaT 10 the scientific world of Europe and America
Ho was native of Fredericksburg, Virginia, and
regarded as one of the bravest and most accom-
plshed officers of navy. His loss win be wide
ly and deeply deplored
The number of passengers stated to have been lost
we believe to be under estimated as the Empire City
reported that the Central America had on board seven
hundred passengers. Her crew could not have been
less than one hundred, and if the Number of survi-
yors is given correctly there is too much reason to
believe that nearly hundred and ftty ives were
lost by this frightfdl disaster

result lay before readers, far received by

character
" While the vote generally has fallen off, as, for in.
stance l68 in this city, the net democratic gain has
been very large In seventy eight towns the net gain s
8400 In this ratio throughout the State the net demo

year was 81, 1876.
