A shrewd Speculation.

The American correspondent Of the Lon
don Times, who, we suppose, Is Charles
Mackay, the successor of Bull Run Russell,
in o late letter from New York, represents
that the number of men 10 the Federal ar
mies amounts TO about 100000, which is In
sufficient for the double work Of conquer
log the South aud afterwards holding 1t In
subjectiOn; but the Secretary of War tele-
graphed to the Governors of the Northern
and Western States for volunteers to COM
plete the roll of 700, 900 men. The number,
he says, will be obtained, owing to the stag
nation of trade and the imitation Of martial
order. The writer adds that the Northern
people are lighting "fOr the restoration of
the old Union, that they may be the great
est military and naval power in Christen
dom; that they may Overawe great Britain
and France, but especially Great Britain,
aud become the arbiters of the fate Of ne.
liOus both in the old and new worlds. This
Is not avowed 10 stump speeches, but it is
the fact"
The writer, perhaps, ia not entirely wrong
in bis speculatiOns. 1t is not OfIea avOwed
even 10 stump speeches, that America is
desiCous of becoming the arbiter of the
world; but that there is feeling Of that
kind prevailing among the American peO.
pie, is beyond question. The recent course
OF Great Britain eHd France. In invading
poor, weak, distracted Mexico, ,tbe inhuman
conduct of British and French officers in
China, in giving up palaces TO be sacked
BY brutal sOldiery, and turning over the
iaoffendiug Inhabitants of Chinese cities to
the tender mercies of their piratical allies,
is proof that the world is in need Of a more
honest arbiler to protect the weak aud res.

stage Line 70 NVashoe.

Mr.. Haworth, the President OF The Cali
ifornia Stage Co., was in town yesterday
aud day before, and we understand be re-
fuses TO put stage line on the route con-
Meeting Nevada directly With Virginia
City. The Company, Of course, must have
some powerful reaeOUs for refusing to Oc-
cupy the shortest route from the Washoe
silver mines to California, and the one
the most convenient for passengers. One
reason we have heard assigned is that the
Stage Co. have invested $4,000 in the road
round by Forest City, aud are averse to
putting stages on q rival ronte, Another
reason is said to be u fear of losing the
custom of Wells. Fargo d Co., in carrying
their bullion. But We are not advised as
to why the occupying of the Nevada route
would effect the Stage company 10 the lat
ter respect.
Were stage line put on the route to
Virginia City, through Nevada to Lincolu,
it would mOnopOlize nearly all the passe1-
ger travel between the WashOe mines and
and San Francisco. The stages could
leave Virginia City at four o'clock in the
morning and reach Nevada with ease by
ten O'Clock in the evening. Here the pas.
sengers could rest for six hours, until four
O'Clock the next morning. Leaving here
at that hour, the stages could reach Lincoln
in time for the cars to connect with the
San Francisco boat of the same day. Pas
sengOrs would thus make the trip through
to San Francisco, and have a nights rest
on the way. The same time, we are inform
ed, is made on the Placerville route, but
the passengers have no rest from the time
the leave Virginia City until they reach
San Francisco.
OF course, the route atfording passengers
the most rest on the way, aud taking them
through 10 the shOrest or the same time,
would be the favorite one with the travel
ing public. But the interests Of the Stage
company being adverse to the Nevada route
all hope that they will establish line up
on it must be given up. If q stage line is
established on the route, II must be done
by the people who are interested 10 makiBg
il the leading thoroughfare over the mOun-
tains. We think the enterprise would pay.
