as it is to the cause Of progress and ciyili-
zation, that the army Of the Union should
triumph and crush ont this rebellion; it Is
thus important, chiefly that the great ener-
gies and stresources Of the country may
be henceforth emancipated from the thral-
dom of secession and rebellion; and be de-
voted to the more magnificent works and
far better triumphs Of peace. Among
these enterprises none is grander
in conception, or more worthy Of a great
nation, than the Pacific Railroad. Let us,
then, with all our energies, cut down and
bind up together treason, secession and
slavery, and casting them into consuming
fire, be free once more, to give hereafter all
our thought and labor to the great enter
prises which are to develope, enrich and
elevate the whole country. A thousandth

great work. It is enough to drive true anc

country and all the earth through al
time, might have been achieved with th'

THE PACIFIC RAILROAD AND
SLAVERY

Congress has passed bill for the con
struction Of the Pacific railroad. The
scheme Of such road, which is to span the |
continent, and link together with an iron
band the two great oceans Of the world, so
that the wares that heaye the depths Of |
one shall throb in the bosom Of the other
and the tides Of trade and commerce that
have broken for SO mary ages On the strand |
OF either continent, shall henceforth roll in
one unchanged food around the world,
sending fe1tilizlng stream into every bar
rcn land, and en1iching with golden fruits
all the waste and desolate places, is the
most gigantic and magnificent undertaking
Of the age. One Of the greatest spectacles
that the sun has ever shone upon, is the
sturcndous conflict Of the Union with the
great and terrible power Of treason and
slavery. Never before has this world seem
contest Of such immense magnitude, and
holding such vast results suspended on its
issue The arena Of this great struggle is
continent; and hosts Of mighty states are
wripging and wrestling with each other for
power and trophies Of 1mmeasurable value
and unboundcd extent. All Europe and
all the world may well watch with deepest
interest the progress Of this terrible strife
for, in this conflict are to be determined,
not only the character and destiny Of the
young States that are growing up amid the
forests Of this new world; but Kingdoms
and empires in every part Of the earth will
have their future being and welfare settled
by the far reaching and ever working con
sequences Of the fearful struggle.
But wide, powerful and enduring as must

N Certain pro-slaTery papers say that
Gen. Mcclellan could not have marched his
army to Richmond by the direct road from
Washington, because, they argue, he would
have been obliged to have gone beyond the
reach of supplies, and hence his army
would have starved or been compelled to
retracc their steps. The refutation Of this
assumption Is not difficult:
LIST. The direct route is ty way Of Fred
ericksburg, which is on the Rappahannock
River. Fredericksburg is reached from
Washington by the Aqua Creek railroad,
and also by the Rappahannocl River, which
is navigable to that city. Hence, an army
no matter how large, could be supplied by
water ard rail as far on its march to Rich
mond as Fredericksburg. This fact cannot
be disputed.
I'd. The distance from Fredericksburg, tie
base Of supplies, to Richmond, is only SIXTY
miles, being but little farther than from
Chicago to Joliet Is it an impossible feat
for an army to move BY land sixty miles?
3d. But it happens that the Aqua Greek
| Railroad extends from Fredericksburg d;
rect to Richmond. True, the rebels would
have burned the bridges and otherwise
damaged it. But how long would it hayt
taken the tens OF thousands Of mechanics
and laborers at the command Of Mcclellan
to have repaired the track, OF for that mat
ter to have relaid every cross-tie and rail
This road could have been put in complete
working order fully as fast as the arm.
could have advanced. The suppl,
trains would have kept up will
the progress Of the army. Every man O
common sense knows this, and every maj
Of candor will admit it. But after all, til
capture Of Richmond by our army in til
Clickahominy morasses will be gladly az
cepted by the country as q receipt in tu
Of all blunders and errors. It is said th2
success is the only divinity worshipped b
the gods; and in military matters men al
very much like them. The War Depar
ment is reinforcing Gen Mcclellan to tt
extent of its power, in order to make vi
tory sure. The country has strong fait
that when the blow is struck the rebel ca
ital will fall. But because part Of tt
army can take Richmond by the Chick
hominy route furnishes no reason why tt
undivided army could not also have TAXI
/ it by the Fredericksburg route.

RETURN OF THE PRESIDENT TO
WASHINGTON,


President Lincoln left West Point at an ear
" hour this morning by the Hudson River
railroad, and reached this city about half-psst
ten o'clock. He was accompanied by General
Scott, Colonel McCa]lum and others.
At the depot carriage was in waiting, in
which the President, Gen. Scott, MI. Mccall
lum, the government railroad superintendent,
and Mr. Sloan Of the Hudson River rail
road, entered and were rapidly driven
to the Jersey City Ferry. where they

did lot leave the carriage while on the boat
but their presence became known and created
DO small sensation, the passengers crowding
forward to see the distinguished travellers.
There were, however, comparatively fe" pas
senpers, as this was not q car boat, the presi-
dential party having been provided with
special train.
| Arrived on the Jersey side the party, ex-
| ceptiDg General Scott, left the carriage, and,
| passing through the depot, entered the cars
| The few people in the vicinity hastened TO the
| spot IS soon as they heard that the president
Was there. General Scott did not leave the
| carriage (Which WIS driven quite into the
tepot}, but bade farewell to the president
while in the vehicle. The general then re-
did not 20 on to Washington, Is reported to-
| day in Wall street.
| In response to the loud cheers and calls OF

/ dent, attended BY MI. McCallum, came 10 the

ing remarks:
"When birds and animals are seen through
fog their size Is greatly increased. but when
| the fog clears away the effect is diminished
and they appear in their natural proportions:
So it is with the visit at West Point. The real
cause of this visit, if known to you, would
probably seem Of less Importance than it noT
does.

natured applause and laughter. The presiden
manifested no symptoms Of fatigue, and ap
pea1ed eyen better and less jaded than on hi
| last visit to New York, when he passet
through the city on his way to his inaugura

As eoon az he had concluded his brief re
marks, the President entered the car and til
train moved slowly of. In the presidentia
car we're the superintendent of the New Jer
