The Opening of the Overland
NHnil UEnnfR

The 81. Louis Republican thus comments
upon the success Of the great enterprise :;
In our opinion, a great enterprise has been
accomplished, in the establishment of mn
Overland Mail connecting the Atlantic with
the Pacific, passing over our own soil, and
Attending semi. weekly, soon 10 be con
vettcd into daily communication between
The extremes of the Republic. Nine years
ago, when the discovery Of gold in California

i was regarded as an expeditions trip if made
from The Mississippi to the Pacific in eighty
to one hundred days. Thousands we re &C.
cuP!ed much longer time, and hundreds
penshed on the wayside. The establish.
ment Of this mail route, and of The route
from ST. Joseph 10 Utah, and thence TO Sac
ramenio, has changed The whole current OF
'hlngs and is now demonstrated, OH a fiis
trial, end under adverse circumstances, that
II Is practicable to carry mail and passengers
from ST. Louis TO San Francisco in twenty
iUsr days; and this vii! be reduced, il ne
cessary, below twenty days. We rejoice
over this result, because we have all along
predicted that il could be done, not precise.
~ on the line over which the travel has
beeu made. and because il must soon become
the great mail route between the Eastern
ana Western oceans. Our citizens will not
now wait for semi. monthly communica-
tons acre ss the Isthmus, when they can
avail themselves of semi.weekly mail by
the overland route, thereby gaining time and
additional facilities. Very soon, too, the
stages will be crowded with passengers, cal.
led by business or pleasure EaS, and West,
and not year will have passed away before
this route will be made perfectly secure by
the establishment Of stations at short dis.
tances, where the settlements will grow up,
and The Accommodations will be as good as

numerous distilleries have been stopped,
the owners of which have ample reason
to be sorry they ever engaged in the

low, but the piicc Of whisky kept down
also so low, that even those not embar.

previous year, found it. difficult to keep

At the close of our last Review we
estimated the stock then held here a,

since established, proved that this es,i.
mate was about correct, and not only
was there this large stock in our mar.
ket, but, in N o., and in all the leading
Southern maikeis,it was in large supply,
and even in New York heavy stock

forepart of the past year, groaned under
the pressure of the old stocks. 1t was
pretty near las, spring, bef,re the trade

Just so it is with young men; their

their hearts are already stained with

CRIME RAMPANT !!

What fearful history of butchory
we have to record, in another column,
as perpetrated in New York, by mere
boy, upon his own father and family,
And so it is,-eyery week, and almost
every day, we read of murders and O.
ther atrocities without a parallel in
the history of the past. Why is it so?
In our opinion there are two causes.
One is, the great influx of low. foreign
ers--the spewings out of European
jails and warehouses. The other is,
the maddening draughts of poisonous
liquors, daily and nightly sold to the
multitude, under the names Of whisky,
lager beer, &C., which not only intox-
icate, but actually render vicious and
crazy the consumer! TO bring the
matter right homc-how many persons
are there now, in the staid village of
Morgantswn, (mostly heads of families)
who have the prcmonitory symptoms
OF dellrlum tremens-who live for no
better purpose than to torment their
wives and children, and are fastening
to bitter end So it is every where,
and yet we submit to it as to an evil
without remedy! Is there no remedy g.?
This Is an important question. Con-
slider it we'll.
