far az the necessities of war are concerned.
Besides this, a foreign war is the very thing we
require, in order TO quickly weld together in
the heat of battle the divided sections of the
country. On the other hand, our government
does not wish 10 engage In another conflict
unless II is compelled to do so. Our wisest
statesmen prefer slower, but more peaceful,
process of reunion. II France will retire from
Mexico England from Canada, and Spain nom
Cuba, the situation will be greatly simplifed
and our government can afford to make some
concessions in return. Let the Mexicans them
selves take care Of Macmillan, and be Of them,
the troops of France being withdrawn, and we
shall not interfere We do not want Mexico.
We conquered II once and relinquished 1t, as we
expect France TO do now. England could make
no more satisfactory settlement Of our claims
| for damages inflicted by the Alabama and
other rebel privateers than to quietly slip out
Of Canada and allow the Canadians e manage
sheir own easirs. We do not want Canada, any
more than we want Mexico f; but the point Is to
have European Powers withdraw. England
would be doubfy the gamer first, by the settle
ment Of the Alabama claims, and, secondly, BY
the reduction in her annual expenditures. A

THE JACKSON RAILEOAD-We continue
10 have favorable accounts Of the progress
Of this work. The distance from Jackson
70 Leslie is - miles, of which u are gra-
ded: from Leslie to Mason miles. ofwhich
are graded: from Mason to Lansing y
miles, of which are graded. The heavy
work is done on tho whole line, there being
$50, 600 yards now cut. and less than 100. -
GOO yards remaining TO be cut. The bridS-
ING is nearly done on the whole line. The
contractors insist that the road will be
ready for the iron in 30 DAYS. and if the
work be prosecuted with the same industry
rs for 4 short time past. it will be ready in
less time
The grades on the existing railroad to
OwOss, are SO very steep and difficult that
il will not be possible to do Il heavy freight
business unless the grades be reduced by
additional excavations at the most abrupt
ascentS, thus adding largely to the ultimate
cost OF the road. In view OF this fact. the
company have set an engineer and party NJ
work between Lansing and 81. Johns. with
the purpose Of ascertaining if more IA
vorable line cannot De had from Lansing to
ST. Johns, via Dewitt, St. Johns and s..
Charles. This route would have the adj
vantages Of being 4 mile shorter, upon more
favorable ground, through a country more
thickly settled and better adapted to agri-
culture and would touch directly upon the
regions OF pine lumber.
