1t will be seen that in 1868 there must be
an average of about three hundred passen-
gers day by the river. All of these people
will of necessity have to pass through this
place, and in the nature of things must add
largely to its traffic.
If we now turn and consider the imperfect
development of our mines, which are
barely prospected in few places, and then
reflect upon the vast expanse of country stiIl
to be explored, prospec,ed, settled and made
available to the uses of civilized life, our
calculation must be allowed to be not only
reasonable, but far below the true figures.
The suggestions derivable from a showing
OF this nature are obvious, and should en-
courage all who are interested in the growth
| of the country to hold fast to present oppor-
tunities in the various pursuits OF life.
Men, whose means are now limited, have
only to live in the country, and grow with
it, to arrive at generous competency
With due caution, the rich of to-day mus
become the very wealthy of ten years hencg

IMPEACHMENT OF TIE PREsIDENr.-The San |
Francisco Flag, of the 9th inst, advances
the opinion that at the opening of Congress
articles of impeachment will be brought
forward against the President. The grounds
of accusation appear to be that, in with
drawing and disbanding the United States
troops, and allowing the institution of civil
government in the late rebellious States, he
has exceeded his powers. 1t is asserted that
an actual state of war between the sections
has not ceased, and cannot cease until peace
is made by Congressional action. There is
bat little doubt that the expressions of the
Flag are really the opinions of the ultra men
who are determined to rule or ruin the
country. The idea Of impeaching the Pres
ident was some time since broached by q
Boston paper, which is supposed to reflect
the views of Mr.. Sumner and his ceadjutors.
Nothing but the lack Of power at the coming
session Of Congress will prevent them from
carrying this purpose into effect. 1t is,
however, very questionable if majority Of
the Senators could be induced to act with
the lower House in the matter. At this time
there are professions of attachment to the
Presidents policy, from both the Union and
Democratic ranks 1t looks as If he will bt
placed in position to need the assistance
Of all who are friendly to his scheme of pa
ci6cation before the winter is over.

DEATH OF JOHN Fl. SCRANTON. The news

PROSPECTS OF TRADE ON THE
COLUMBIA RIVER.

1t is sometimes interesting to speculate
upon the future, even when we have no sta
tistics of the past Upon which to build hy-
pothesis but when facts and figures can be
deduced from past experience to lend specu-
1ation high degree of certainty, it then be-
comes useful as we'll as interesting to man
kind.
1t is stated on undoubted authority, that
the transportation of freight on the Colum-
bia River in 1862. (he year of the Florence
excitement,) amounted to six thousand TONS
In 1864, the quantitity had advanced to near
twenty-five thousand tons-an increase of
three hundred and fifty per cent. in three
years. From ten thousand passengers in
1861, the travel increased to thirty six thou
sand passengers in l864-an increase of
about one hundred per cent. year. If
we allow that the rate of increase in the
future will be only half as great as in the
past, taking the year 1864 as our basis Of
calculation, and considering the next four
years as distinct epoch in the history Of
trade and travel on the river, we shall ar
rive at some very startling conclusions. The
following would be the figures:
For 1865, tons.
The daily mountaineer. (Dalles, Or.) 1861-1866, 1865-11-18

After four years from now, it is reasonable
to believe that as much freight will come up
the river each year as came in the four
years preceding 1865. The passenger traffic
may be computed on the same basis, as
follows.

New Railroad Route from lake
Ontario to Boston.

The AdirOndac Railroad from Sarato-
ga to Odgensburgh is being pushed for
ward to completion with an energy and
vgor that indicates the early opening
Of this road. The iron for TWENTY-FIVE
miles of the road is now daily in tran
stu between New York and Saratoga
passing through Troy and thence to its
destination via the Rensselaer, and Sara
toga Railroad. Twenty five miles of
the road will be completed by the first
of January next. We do not know the
exact length Of this road, bat presume
it is about 200 miles long. 1t passes
through a country rich in lumber, ore
beds and mineral deposits, and opens up
a new region in our State for settlement,
enterprise and improvement. The
wealth and population of the State will
be largely Increased by the opening of
this Railroad. The vast mineral
wealth lying useless for ages will be
thrown up to the commerce of the State,
and the lumber anu timber will be
brought out to meet the wants of more
density populated localities. This region,
now sparsely settled, will speedily be
settled by hardy and industrious set
tiers, who will find remunerative en-
ployment in clearing up the land aud
sending to market the product of the
mine and the forest From Saratoga to
the iron ore beds is distance of about
eighty miles. No doubt, before many
years vast quantities of iron ore will be
brought from the region through which
this road passes to Troy TO be smelted
into iron by blast furnaces. 1t is the
opinion Of intelligent iron men of this
city, who have given the subject
thoughtful attention, that Troy is des-
tined to be one of the greatest iron
manufacturing cities in the Union.
This would seem not to be improbable
when the fact is considered that the AL
bany and Susquehannah railroad is now
completed to the coal regions, and will
bring coal next season by rail to our
very doors, so that it can be sold very
cheap-in TACT for the mere cost of min
ing and transportation-while the com
pletion of the Adirondac road to the
iron mines will send the ores down to
Troy to meet the coal. The extension
of railroads in every direction from
Troy, the canals to the west and north,
and the noble Hudson flowing TO the
Atlantic seaboard, furnish unexampled
facilities for transporting the iron to
the markets of the world Besides,

our own cities use up vast quantities OF
iron In our extensive and constantly ln-
creasing manufactures,
IL Is understood that shrewd Boston
capitalists are watching with interest
the progress Of the construction of the
Adiroudac Railroad, and that they have
projected and will build line ofroad to
complete u through line from Odgens-
burgh TO Boston. They propose TO In
tersect the Adirondac road at Warrens-
burg, and run road from thence to
Fort Edward, there intersecting the
Rensselaer, and Saratoga Railroad. This
road would be about twenty miles long,
and would pass by Lake George, Glen's
Falls and Sandy Hill 10 Folt Edward.
Thus the new route would run from
0gdensburgh to Warrensburg, thence
over the new road TO Fort Edward
thence to Rutland via the Rensselaer,
and Saratoga Railroad, by the Rutland
and Burlington Railroad to Bellows
Falls, thence by the Cheshire Railroad
TO Fitchburg, and from thence direct TO
Boston. This will make route from
Lake Onotario (Ogdensburg) TO Boston
one hundred miles shorter than by the
0gdensburg and Vermont Central Rail
road, There is every reason to believe
thBt this project will be consummated,
The people along the route from War
rensburg to Fort Edward are anxious
for the success of the enterprise, and
will subscribe literally for the stock.
This would be grand thing for Glen's
Falls. IT would divert the current trade
so that heavy canal freights from the
North would find transhipment from
Glen's Falls, thus saving long distance
on transportation. No doubt the public
will soon hear more of the new route
from Lake Ontario to Boston, rs it is
one Of the most important railroad pro
jects discussed since the revival of rail
road construction -Tr0H ". Y. Ne,rs.
