Speed.

We are fast people. The last number
Of the North Amerirm Re0iew October,
lS6+), coutains u very good article on
steam navigation, giving condensed his
tory of the rise and progress of the art, if
art 1t be, and especially interesting for its
account of the two great Atlantic lines,
the Coliius aud Cunard The moral of
The article may he said to amount to this,
that the Collins line failed because of its
sacrifice of other considerations to the one
gr'at idea of speed. TO that is traced the
loss of tue Arctic and the Pacific, the fail
ure OF receipts to meet expenses, aud the
fual suspension Of the line.
! It's not to be denied that the American
Peep are quite too fast in their notions.
We work too long and too hard We in
Sist On giving as little time as possible to
the transit from home to business. We
run after terry-boats and risk plunge

insist on the slow and sure plan and we

IN preference to the slow and regular lin
or Look at our railway system, for ex.
ample. Why do we complain so bitterly
if trains are run slowly? Passengers are
never satisfied unless they can be dashed
along at the highest known rate of speed
Time tables are revised again and again
to secure the greatest speed to all the
; trains, and terrible risks are assumed as
the consequence.
And after all, what is gained by all this
gain in speed? For the security of bust
ness and its regular dispatch, We are in.
debted to steam. Ocean and other navi-
CATION, which was dependent on the wind,
was an uncertain reliance. The introluc-
! ton of steam navigation, therefore, added
! TO the safety and certainty of commercial
affairs. But there is clearly limit to the
beneficial effects. Because steam power
is valuable, we are by no means to believe
that all that can be accomplished by it is
valuable. There may be such thing as
being too slow in business, and there may
be such thing also as being too fast
I Recurring to the history of the steam lines
across the ocean, it seems tolerably Ger
tain that if the mercantile world had been
content with the mere gain Of regular and
steady trips, not dependent on wind and
weather, and had not required any greater
rate of speed than the trips of the Great
Western, say twelve or thirteen days
from New York to Liverpool, we might
have had by this time dozen American
lines, as well as the others now running
A good daily steamer to England would
be of more decided advantage to COM
meree in the long run, than tri-weekly
line making swifter passages. What is
needed is reliance, certain and sure, and
not an unsteady chance of quick advces,
The same general principles apply to all
our railways and interior steamboat lines.
But the trouble lies with the people, who,
while they are loud in protesting against
racing, are sure to patronize the boat that
beats in the race.-Jommal Of Commerce.

From the Washington Union.
A Narrowing Sight,

Last evening, just before dark, one of
the most pitiful scenes ever presented to
our notice passed up the avenue 1t was
a procession Of some seventy Of the most
fearful looking men we ever saw, guarded
by number of cayalrymen, armed with
carbines and reviewers. These men were
chained to each other by the ankles, in
threes and fours. They were all dressed,
in measure, like the poorest of Confede-
rate prisoners brought here. Some of
them were hatless and coatess, and all of
them filthy in the extreme. AS they
passed up the avenue, at slow gait, their
chains clanked on the pavement, giving
us an idea of the chain-gang in France 60
Ing to the galleys, in the days of Vidocq
These men were sent here from Kentucky,
under guard of thirty-fve Kentucky
mounted infantry. They made several
Intellectual efforts to escape during the
passage. When near New Greek, Six Of
the worst of them sprang from the cars,
and one is known to have been killed.
Pursuit was made for the other five.
Many of our citizens mistake these men
for Confederate prisoners, as they were
mostly dressed in grey. They are Fede-
raj desertcrs and bounty jumpers, who de-
serted to the Confederates in Western
Virginia and Eastern Kentucky, and again
deserted from the Confcderates, and band
ed themselves together for plumber and
murder. They were exposed by six es-
capped Fcdorals, when near Lexington, Ky.
We never saw such a graceless looking set
of scamps in our life. They really did
not look human. The way Of the trans
gressor is hard, aud some of these men
will liud this so before many moons.
