Northern and Southern Travel.

The facilities for rapid travel to almost every section
Of our country have greatly increased in the last few
years that railroad transportation be effected to
the east west and southwest with rapidity realizing
the expectations of the most sanguine.
The facilities of communication north and south along
the eastern seabOard, where they much desired
most imperfect but are glad to learn that move
ments at this moment being made to increase the
rapidy of travel in such degree as to reduce greatly
the time of passage between New York and New Or
leans, involving of course propOrtiOnate reduction in
the time necessary to reach California and the West In
dies.
At present the routes of travel divide at Wilmington
n. c. on which account tickets to this point are sold
north and south To reach that city from New York
at present requires thirysx hours travel which time it
is proposed to reduce to Twenty-Five by extending the
railroad from Philadelphia to Easton, Delaware which
completed the traveller from New York would be ena-
bled to arrive at Norfolk Through the Chesapeake Bay)
in II hours in ten hours more Wilmington may be
reached On the completion of the Charleston and North
eastern railroad which is confidently expected in Octo
ber the time from Wilmington to Charleston will be re-
duced to eight nine hours thus diminishing the time
from New York to the latter city to thirtyone hours
railroad is in progress of construction from Fer
nandna in Florida to Cedar Keys, on the Gulf of Mex
co and as it is not at all difficult to reach Fenandna
in twelve hours from Charleston by steamer and the dis.
lance thence to Cedar Keys being only one hundred and
forty miles, it is apparent that the gulf may be reached
in torty-eight hours, Or two days, from New York
On ordinary steamer the passage may be made from
Cedar Keys to Cuba in twelve hours, to New Orleans
in twentyour hours to Tehuantepec in thiry-six Such
may appear rapid travelling, and such it would be COM
pared with the present rates along the eastern seaboard
but such speed is not only within the range of probable
ity but will be attained and that very soon the pro-
per exerOns be made by those who are taking the mat
ter in hand and if those most deeply interested second
their endeavors. The completion of these connecting
links is enterprise worthy of all the encouragement
which the Government may legitimaely bestow furnish
ing, as it WILL such increased accommodations for the
mail service apd the speedy transportation of troops
north and south, while such travelling facilities along our
eastern border will form additional bond of union by
identifying even more closely the interests of North and

pOse has gone the way of all monies and securities left
with that souess and sunken concern There were twom
lion five hundred thousand dollars of the State bonds
due January |, 1857. TO redeem these bonds a law
passed authorizing the Fund Commissioners to Dor
row the amount, which they did by selling new
issue of State stocks. The question then arose who
shall take of the money and attend to the business
of redeeming said stocks The fusion officials soon de-
cded this question by selecting the New York Agency
of the Ohio Life and Trust Co., without taking one dol
lar of security for the $2,5OOOOO thus deposited al
though the Democrats in the Legislature urged them to
so do. AS near can be ascertained about 100000
only had been presented for redemption up to the time

An Awful Blow.

Yesterday all day, it blew very hard, but at night
fresh hand must have been put to the beows-peraps
two fresh hands-for we have seldom listened to any
thing equal to it. The wind might indeed be said to
have gone about like roaring lion, and it, literally
speaking it devoured nobody, fear that it has not
been without its destructive effects on human life Such
gale could hardly have swept along our extended
coast lined by its vast coasting feet without doing more
Or less harm.

it might threatened with the dangers OF a lee shore
We much fear that few days will bring us news OF
shpwreck and disaster accompanied by loss of life and
loss of property.
About this very time of year, almost to day, but
three or four years since similar tornado swept over
our coast leaving many widow and orphan to wall
For a week or two we will almost dread to look over
our exchanges lest our eye should encounter the details
of like catastrophes after this visitation

The MAINE ELEcrIoN.-Thc State election in Maine

There are ostcnsbly but two parties in the field

the present national administration in all its principles
and policy and the republicans, who, elsewhere,
stand upon the gltterng generalties of the antsa-
very sentiment. Manasseh II. Smith is the guberna-
tOrial candidate of the democrats and Lot NJ. Morrill,
the candidate Of the republicans. The wings not

part secret but is in cooperation with the republican
party which, as matter of policy, has refused to include
prohibitory law in its platform. There antipro

would be endangered by making such law issue OF

having under consideration various matters Ofmportance
to the railroad interests which these leading lines repre-

of radical reform having important relation to the
general railroad economy of the country These mea-
slres it is reported embrace reduction in the speed Of

creased freight tariff the abolition of the free pass sys
tcm the dscOntnuance of all runners freight solicit

been multiplied to such an extraordinary degree as to
entail large expenses upon the companies Instead of

The Election In Mississippi.

The next election in Mississippi (says the Memphis
Appeal will take place Monday the 9th day Of o.
tober, and will be held day, instead of two. State
officers congressman, and members of the Legislature
only will be chosen. The sense of the people will also
be taken upon two amendments to the constitution which
have been submitted to them, The first amendment
proposes:
The term of Office of members of the legislature shall
be for the period fixed by the constitution and shall
from and after their election and expire at
the next general election thereafter at which their sue
ceSsOrs are elected
This amendment is necessary to carry out the change
in the election of members OF the Legislature from No
vember to October.
The second amendment is in the following words
No suit shall ever be instituted against the State
To the first there to be opposition, far as
we can Judge from the press Of the State The last
mentioned amendment seems, however, to meet with
opposition, based upon the ground that it will give
to the State privilege exemption not granted to in
divduals.
