-aa PACIFIC RAILROAD.
NEw YoBK, September rs.
The Herald says: The main object O.
the trip Of Colonel Fox and companions
was to ascertain if the resources and ststuI
of the country, demanded the speedy con,
struction of the Pacific railroad. Governor
Bross, with whom our reporter conversed
says that the early completion of the worl
is loudly demanded, and his opinion il
shared by the entire company. The de-
velopment of wealth to the country, st
tending this event, is asserted will be of 6
most astonishing character. The Pacific
enu OF Sne roSu 1s pe1ng PuIned with
marked energy and success over the
eide of the Sierra NsYada ridge, which Is
1000 feet high, will soon be worked through.
The resi- of the road, it is asserted, is as
easy of construction as q road on the New
York Central line.

delegation from the mum ipal officers Of
st. Louis arrived at the Astor House. The
object of their visit Is to view various
municipal Institutions of our city, as they
have already done those of Philsdslphia,
and afterwards to proceed to Boston for 8
similar purpose. They called on Mayor
Gunther this mornidg and we're received in
scourteous manner. The deputation were
conducted through the city, after which
they left to make tour of the city. The
Mayor assured them any information he
could give in regard to our municipal legis-
lstion would be cheerfully afforded. The
deputation have mads the Astor House their
headquarters.
Several members of the Board of Coun-
cilmen assembled this p NJ. and appointed
q committee to escort the visitors to such
places of interest IS they desire to visit.
FENIAEIsM CONDEMNED.
Father McKerna, pastor Of the Church
of our Lady of Mercy, who recently
home returned from visit to Europe,
preached 8 sermon yesterday and took oe-
casion to condemn the Fenian movement
in the strongest terms. He states that it
has caused grest trouble in Ireland. Some
young young men have been transported
in consequence, and he earnestly advised
the members of the congregation TO have
nothing to do with the movement.
POWDER ERDEALERs DESIRE FREE TRADE.
The Post says the powder dealers and
manufacturers desire permits to send South,
for sporting purposes, an aggregate of 100
900 pounds of powder, about 12O, 900 pounds
of shot, and 15O, 900 percussion caps. Per-
mits are also ssked for about 100 guns.
The number of persons in the South is 300
or 400. There is much feeling here on the
subject, and the applicants are very urgent
that their trade shall be left free like other
trades.
AN ENTEPRIZE.
The Norfolk Day Book of Friday has 3
report of meeting held there in favor of
establishing line of steamers between
that port and St. NazArre. Resolutions
were passed to the effect of carrying
through the grand snterprizs. Some
100000 are already subscribed, the sum
OF three millions being needed to carry out
the views of the projectors. The fact that
Napoleon will take an active interest in
the establishment of this line, and positive
assurance of ali from that source, fixes
with certainty the establishment of the line
ct an early day.
GEN. HAEcocK's SPEECH.
NEW YoBK, September 25.
General Hancock in recent speech to
the Odd Fellows at Baltimore, said that
the power of the government as shown IN
the late contest is star in our escutcheon,
whose rays extend sufficiently to give light
even in London and Paris. The Rio
Grande is but short distance in compari-
son, and I firmly believe from my own
knowledge of the country and experience
therein, that the Emperor of the French
will be glad to vacste Mexico, if
he Is allowed time to do 60 with honor.
We paid some millions to get that country
after capturing its capital, and 1t will not
cost France less than it cost US. Every
day's delay will add expense without
chance of compensation, for consider it
to be certain as fate that the continued oc-
cupation of that country by foreign force,
which entered it in hostility to our inter-
ests and prejudicss, will lead to war. It
is now, however, time for US to cultivate
the arts of peace, and bind up the wounds
made by the late rebellion. We may de-
fer the day of retribution until We are
strong again, without resting under the
imputation of fear. Ehe Emperor of the
French went to Mexico when it was con-
venient for him; we can now defer meet
ing him until convenient for US. But it
msy not be Decessary and in such case,
We shall have love enough in our day for
the honor of our country's arms.
CoEFERENCE.
A Richmond letter to the Herald states
that General Howard, of the Freedmsn's
Bureau, accompanied by General Terry
and Colonel o. Brown, had along confer
ence with Governor Pierpont in reference
to the condition of negroes in that State.
Their opinions were freely interchanged
and the result will be considerable in the
amelioration Of the condition Of freedmen
during the approaching winter.
