The ERIE RAILROAD ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS or
THE RoAD.-A correspondent, whose letter we
publish in another column, assures us that the
rolling stock of the Erie railroad is in excellent
condition, and that large sums of money have
been expended on it recently. We hope 1t is
true that the rolling stock is in good order
but it matters very little how munifcent the
company may be in their outlay, it is quite evil
dent that the rails, which are not a portion of
the rolling stock, were not in the condition they
should be at the point where the late terrible
slaughter occurred. Ii is true the Coro-
ner's jury acquitted the company of all blame;
but il is well known that Coroners' juries, in
cases Of railroad accidents, pay little attention
to anything except merely ascertaining the
cause Of death, which in this case was patent
enough; they do not institute any proper inves-
tigation into the condition Of the road or tho
conduct Of the officials. II they had done 30 in
this unfortunate affair, aud examined some par
ties who were recently engaged on the road, we
think they would have been compelled TO render
a different verdict for we are informed that
some employees Of the road, engineers and 9th
ers, have lately abandoned their situations out
Of fear of danger to their lives from the unsafe
condition Of the rails. If this be not true, the
company ought to demand an investigation,
and demonstrate its falsity; IL il be true, then
the verdict of the jury was criminal deception.

from New York again, unless il be over the
person Of her Governor, and in spite of all the
military power at his command
Now, IL we are not mistaken. this
movement will be very apt to prove sore
thorn in the side Of the republican
party. Seward and bis organs, for the
last twenty-five years have not been laboring
without any results in behalf of Temperance

succeeded in convincing very large body of

THE PACIFIC RAHROAD-ENGIIsH yERsm
AAsHCAN ENTERrRIsE While we in this c,up-
try have been rnsih;Sg the question of a great
railroad to our Pacific pssseuuisns political
question, just as we do everything else, eur
great rivals in trade and enterprise have been
preparing to give vitality to the same idea O.
their own territory. English capitalists have had
their attention turned to the subject, snd-not
diverted by dirty politios-have gone praeti-
oally to work to find out the best route for such
line. Already their surveyors are in the field.
mapping out line from the western shores
Of Lake Superior through the territories sf
the Hodson's Bay Company, TO vancouver's
Island, on the Pacific Ocean. The recent disco
veries of gold on Frazer river will give fresh
impetus to the enterprise, by convincing Nnx-
lish capitalists that it will pay; and we mag.
therefore, expect, while. our sectional peliti-
clans and party schemers are mutually blocking
up the game on each other, to hear of the or
ganizssion of an English company, with an i'm
mense capital paid in, ready to go to work,
build the road, COLOMBO the now solitary tracts
Of Rupert's Land, and gain to themselves and
their country all the advantages for such liae
that should have accrued to U.s.
There is little doubt that such will be the
case. We are in the habit of deriding British
crs and Wanting our superior progress and en-
terprise; but one thing is certaia-that whatever
great public work Englishmen undertake they
carry out we'll and thoroughly. No lack Of
capital is ever allowed to stand in the way Of
its completion. The readiness with which tHs
and half millions of dollars was subscribed to
the Atlantic telegraph enterprise-the success
Of which was SO doubtful-is an evidence
of it. Another evidence of it is the build
ing of the Great Eastern equally pro-
blematical as paying speoulation-at
cost of two or three times that amount
Then there is besides the great trunk railway
Of Canada, built chiefly by English capital. and
traversiDg the Upper and Lower provinces These
are proofs of the iberality, forethought and en-
terprise of the moneyed men of England and
the Pacific Railroad will now come as the con-
pleting link in this chain.
When Jefferson Davis discoursed to the peo-
pie Of Portland, the other day, on his great
hobby-the Pacific Railroad and spoke Of it's
being not a sectional but national matter, he
little thought, we dare say, of the position which
that town was go soon to occupy in connection
with it. The Great Eastern is to be run to
Portland-as being the nearest suitable port to
Canada. From Portland there is a splendid
line of railroad to Montreal. The Grand Trunk
line extends from there across the two pro-
yinees; and with it will be connected the Bri-
tiah Pacific line. Thus the trade of the great
East will have to pass through the British pos
sessions, and thus will they secure to themselves
the monopoly Of that magnificent commerce
which it has been the aim and object of all
powerful nations ancient and modern, to obtain.

several highly interesting communications from
our special correspondent in Utah, describing
the march of the army under General Johnston
from Camp Scott to Great Salt Lake City, the
Notifications Of Echo Canon, and the City o
the Saints, which it appears is quite deserted,
the houses shut up, the population--including
the Prophet himseK-almost all departed. and
not woman to be seen within its precincts.
1t is highly improbable, however, that the
Mormons intend to leave the city altogether.
1t is no doubt their design to return when the
army is withdrawn, asst soon must be, either in
consequence of the enormous expense of main.
tanning it there, or the exigency which demands
its presence on the frontier to quell the hostile
spirit of the Indian tribes. Nothing but the
nrmness and decision of Mr.. Buchanan brought
this threatened Utah war to 80 happy conclu.
sion. 1t was legacy bequeathed to him by
poor Pierce, and he has grappled 80 promptly
with the difficulty that we have been saved
from an expensive and unnatural war; The
folly Of Mr.. Fillmore and the weakness of
Pierce's administration encouraged the Nor
mons to defy the laws of the United States and
resist the authority of its officials. They fancied
that they could pursue a similar course with
Mr.. Buchanan; and this accounts for the war
like speeches of Brigham Young, Elder Kimball
and the other leaders at the Tabernacle and the
Temple in Salt Lake City, which preceded
the advance of the army into Utah Territory.
But when Colonel Kane visited them, and as
sured them that they had a different man from
poor Pierce to deal with at the head of the gov
erdment now, and that he was determined to en-
force obedience to the laws, without interfering
with their peculiar religious doctrines, they dis.
covered that they were making grave mistake;
and they submitted at once. Thus the difficulty
Of which the pusillanimity of the last admins
tration laid the foundation, the frmness Of the
present one has overcome. From all indications
now before Us the Utah trouble has reached a
peaceful issue
The Mormons have been intimidated into sub.
mission, and the lesson they have learned may
serve them for all time. They have been taught
that they cannot defy the constitution and law
of the country with impunity; that resistance to
the law lie treason, and will be visited with q
traitors punishment. How far that lesson may
affect their absolute obedience to the will OF
Brigham Young, and their belief in his infalli-
bility as Prophet and head Of the church, IL is
impossible to predict; but the probability is that
il will materially weaken their faith in his lead
ership. The Mormons will no doubt return TO
the "Holy City in Salt Lake valley, and re-
sumo their old ways. They will pursue for a
time their polygamous system. until the pro-
eress of immigration and the growth of civiliza-
ton in the Territory puts their community in a
minority, when many of them will become dis
gustcd with the system, and il will fall prey
TO Its own rottenness.
