NORTHEASTERN RAIL RoAD.-We passed down and
back this road last week. We found it to be in
fine rdergood engines, comfortable coaches and
full and attentive conductors The grades are so light
and the road bed in such fine condition. that the best
time be made upon it with Its business must
increase in rapid ratio Already there number
of saw mills and turpentine stills along the ne and we
met several North Carolinans seeking localities for
turpentine plantations. We had no means of compar-
ing its monthly business to arrive at correct re-
suits The travel from the low country and from Cuba
has been quite large for months.
1t is expected that in the of this year Fernan-
dina and Cedar Keys Bail Road will be completed
when the great bulk Of the California and Gulf travel
will pass the Northeastern Road. Contracts have
been entered into to effect this result Several lines of
steamers are to be placed in the Gulf and also line
from Fernandna to Charleston. To facilitate this
travel, the Northeastern Company building wharf
at their depot in Charleston A through ticket from
New York to New Orleans has been agreed upon and
contract with the Postofce Department entered into
for the transportation of the mais-tme between New
York and New Orleans four days. When these matters
all arranged, it will be the most expeditions, as well
as the cheapest route North and South. It will give

The Late Election In Minnesota

In the result Of the late election in this
State, We find greater encouragement as to
the future success and permanent ascendency
Of the Democratic party in Minnesota, than
any preceding contest affords. We have
gained largely on the popular vote since last
fall and had it not been for divisions 10
our ranks which have temporarily given the
Republicans an asceDdency in uDdoubted
Democratic strongholds, in the next Legis-
AZURE our majority on joint ballot would
have been over twenty.
IN the result in Southern Minnesota
that boosted Republican stronghold there
Ia genuine cause Of cobgratalation to all
who desire the overthrow Of Black Repub-
licanism. 10 that portion Of the State, the
Republicans made every effort in their pow
er speakers were imported from st. Paul,
and the preponderance Of Republican presses
gave the enemy decided advantage. But
the Democracy entered the canvass united /;
they did not fritter away their strength by
INDUCING in absurd local quarrels, or per.
mi, the personal enmi,ies Of politicians to
give aid and comfort to the opposition.
Our candidates were wisely selected, and
they planted themselves with alacrity upon
the great principle Of Popular Sovereignty,
and on that issue the battle was fought and
the Republicans routed.
Look ut the result in Southern Minneso-
Ia, IA illustrating the wisdom of the Demoo'
racy in that portion Of the State. IIous-
ton and Fillmore counties we have carried
by increased majoriiicsdespite the oratorical
Efforts Of Gov Ramsey, and our friend
Judge GooDmcu; CAyAsAuGu proved him
self more than match for either or both
OF them. Mower and Dodge, always Re
publican, we carried under the lead OF Judge
EpasRros. and on the Democratic principle
Of Popular Sovereignty, Freeborn county
for the Grst time has gone Democratic. In
Steele and Waseca, we have increased our
vote, and in all probability elected PkrrIr,
Senators Democratic success as unexpcct-
az 1t ia unprecedented. We have reduced
the opposition majorities 10 Winona, Waba
shaw aud Goodhue. In fact, in every coun-
~ in the State, where there was but one
Democratic ticket in the field, the party has
gained largely.
Minnesota was never more thoroughly
Democratic than she is to day. The absurd
cry that ours is pro slavery party, and the
removal Of bleeding Kansas" from the
political stage, has shorn Black Republican,.
ism Of its formidable appearance. The t,-
turc bcckons on to more glorious victories
than we have secured in the past.

We direct attention 10 an able article
from the Boston P,tot, the leading Catholic
Journal Of this country, upon the Congress
sional Elections" lately had in Pennsylya.
MIA, Ohio and Indiana. The article derives
greater force from the fact that The PHO,
has from the FIRST been an ardent suppor ter
OF the National Administration, including
the lecompton and English bills. In re-
viewing the contest just closed 10 the great
States named, however, it reflects public
s'ntiment in attributlDg the defeat Of the
Democracy to the new test erected by the
President, and in denouncing the minions
OF the Administration Tor their reckless
and unjust warfare against Judge DouGLAs.

To the Editor. Of the Pioneer and Democra,:
HESDxssos, MINI, Oct. 20, 1858.
In late number Of the Daily Pioneer, l
have been told there was statement that
on account Of warfare made by myself
against JAMES w. LysDE, one of the Dem.
ocratic nominees for the House from this
District, two independent Democrats were
elected.
believe that you will not willingly do
me injustice, and when ! say that your in
formant is in error. and that the statement
is false, trust you will make the correction
as public as the charge. ! supported the
regular nominations for the Legislature and
voted for them, and opposed, to the best Of
my ability, the Peoples Ticket, which was
successful only in the election of MARTIN j.
SEVERANCE, Esq, Republican.
Two OF the regular nominees are elected,
Messrs. PERRY and LYxDE; while Mr.. Null
LEN, an honest Irish Democrat, was defeat.
ed by the election of Mr.. SEVERANCE Those
who supported the Peoples Ticket must be
responsible for Mr.. SEvERANcE's election.
did and do now censure and strongly
blame Mr.. LYSDE for not opposing openly
and unequivocally, through the columns of
the paper of which he is editor, the Peoples
Ticket. 1t matters not if the supporters Of
the Peoples Ticket did, as he says himself,
place his, LYSDE's, name on the ticket to
strengthen it," 1t was his duty to withdraw
his name, and thereby weaken it.
In conclusion, let me say again that the
charge that | opposed Mr.. LyNDE or any
one Of the Democratic nominees for the
Legislature, is wholly untrue.
There is an unur,tten history of the late
canvass in Sibley county, that it would be
well for all to study before they determine
who are responsible for the division which
has been caused in the ranks OF the Demo.
cratic party.
am very Respectfully,
JAMES &. Dow.

Telegraph Lines To the Pacific.

The last California steamer brought intel.

in building line from San Francisco to Los
Angeles, distance Of six hundred miles, the
balance to be reserved for the purpose Of
extending the line TO the eastern boundary
Of California. Thence TO the western boun.
dairy Of Texas is distance Of only i75 miles.
Once at that point, the completion Of con.
tinuous line from New York to san Fran.
cisco will be matter Of easy accomplish
merit
The other line is 10 extend from Placer
vile TO Salt Lake City, whence it will be
extended to ST. JoeTh, Mo- The work
was commenced at its western terminus on
the 3D. nit, and was being vigorously prose
cuted ut the latest accounts.
The establishment Of the Overland Mail
will tend to hasten the completion Of these
telegraph lines, aud scarcely year will
elapse before we shall have instantaneous
communication with the Pacific coast. We
shall have to wait few years for railroad
but that, too, will come in good time.
