Wepromsed in our last to discourse Of Railroads
and corner.lots to our Western friends, with view
to better mutual understanding and if possible to
mutual edifcation-a promise which we proceed to
fulfill.
Every Railroad in the West is direct tributary
to the prosperity and +. lift of the East-tO the
tivity of the looms Of New-Englaud and the
wharves Of New-Ycrk. Construct them where you
will, run them in whatever direction you please
they are, in the large view, as advantageous if not
quite so important TO us as to yourselves. We need
not say therefore that rejoice in the extension
and multiplication Of Western Rairoads. We coald
wish, indeed that suudry crossroads and plugs
were welded into one straight stretch Of double
track from the Mississippi to the Paclfc but
every years exertions and achievements, no matter
how intended, are diminishing, by hundred miles
or 60, the gap which still remains to be closed be-
tween those two points Ten years hence, even if
nothing should meantime be done directly aud ex-
pressly for Pacific Railroad there viii not more
than thousand miles Of it remain to be constructed,
while the population and production Of California
and the region watered by the Missouri will be
go considerable that the most irrational opponent
can 10 longer pretend that the Pacific Road, once
built, would not pay its running expenses. Every
Railroad which stretches from the Mississippi to-
ward sunset is rcoiced over by us as fresh incie-
ment and positive help toward the early compile
ion Of the needed iron track to the Pacific.
To the usual and perhaps unavoidable incidents
of land. grants to eubryo railroads across the Public
Domain, there are grave objections. The greedy
mobs Of borers and spectators who surround and
il fest Congress while such grants are in cOntempa
tiOn are necessarily paralleed by similar mobs
perhaps as numerous aud at all events quite
as greedy-surrounding the several Lit gislatures
which have lands to alot to particular Roads. If
any one can devise practical mode Of obyiating
these scrambes he will be public benefactor;
but We do not think stoppaee of the grants ad-
yisable For, throughout the old States one set Of
public spirited citizens have suffered BY the Rail
roads ard another set have profted by them-the
former being the stockholders with the exception
If few leading managers the hitter being the
owners Of lands along their respective tracks. Tie
Railroads Of New York and New England, as a
whole, are worth little more than their debts;

We have at length enjoyed two whole days OF
rainlessness. To be sure, the sky is not clear and
the temperature is hardly that of July; but mid
haze with occasional clouds is far preferable to the
November drzzles and chills wherewith June de-
ceased and this midsummer month opened upon
us. We trust the haze will gradually pass away,
and that, perhaps after cearing-up shower or
two We shall hear from all sides that the waters Of
this modern deluge are assuaged. Meantime, the
farmers were never before so behind their work on
the 9th Of July as now. But there is an ample
growth of Grass, much of it now wallowed down and
spelling; Rye also is in danger of blight if the rains
should return before harvest; but Potatoes and
most vegetables promise WELL Indian Corn alone
being decidedly feeble and sicky There is time for
it to make good crop yet, should the weather
henceforth be favorable. Let every one who can
WELD scythe or hoe hasten to the country, for
the farmers will be overdone with work for the en-
suing month.

THE CELEBRATION IN BOSTON.

DOsiON, Ouy
There was melancholy termination to the celebra.
ton Of the Fourth Of July in Boston which otherwise
was fully equal in patriotic display to any that has
preceded it. The weather was delightful, and, a.
usual the city was throDged with crowds from the
country As the display OF fireworks progressing
on the Common in the evening, the mortar used for
tn, owing shell rockets burst killing George F. Tcwkes
buy, formerly barbOr-master and highly respected
citizen; Aia L. Libby, cabnetmaker Patrick Cook,
an employee Of Hovey g. Co., the pyrotechnists, and
a boy named John Mcmahon. Wiseman Marshall
the tiagedian ard John w. Robinson were badly in
iured but not fatally. This sad disaster terminated
the pyrote chnis display abruptly.
All SwaDpcoll, Henry Scales and William Draper
were dangerously injured by the bursting of cannon
and man was killed in SoInervile from the same
cause. AT the Eastern Depot man named Manning
was Jun over by the ears and killed.
The DAY was cele brated In Portland, New.Bedford,
ard Fall River with unusual spirit and to the entire
satisfaction of citizens and visitors. AT Fall River
mammoth clam bake was partaken Of by about two
thousand persons.
The balloon ascension here yesterday, made by the
Messrs. Vine, was perfectly successful.

We print herewith full and authentic account
from information collected by our reporters, of the
succession Of riotous outrages by which our City
was disgraced on Saturday and last evening.
The reader will not hesitate to deduce the
moral. The more prOfigate and reckless pOr-
ton of our City's inhabitants have so long
bad full swing here that months will be re-
sured to teach them mpressivey that their scepter
has departed and that they must make up their
minds henceforth to obey the laws and respect the
rights Of their neghbors. Until this lesson shall
have been taught and learned, City will be sub
iect to such shameful outbreaks as that by which
our Nations birthday and yesterday were dsgraced;
but We rejoice in being able to state that few Of the
rioters were Americans. We trust and believe that
the very next manifestation Of riotous spirit will
be met by call Of the citizen soldiery, and that
they will be instructed to march Immediately through
the center Of the fracas with loaded muskets and
Fixed bayoDets. Tenderness to law.defyug rafians
is cruelty to the whole community.
