PACIFIC RArLROAD.-It appears from
the report of the California Directors O.
this great national work that they are
moving with energy in the construction
of the Western end of the road. They
have now 5000 Chinese at work, and soor
expect 10000 more. These Coolies are
content with $50 per month wages, and
50 per month each allowed for board.
They are now going over the mountain
l20 miles west from Sacramento, 1000
feet above tide water, and expect to have
the road completed to Salt Lake in 1868.
Ii remains Tor the Directors at this end to
meet them at the time and place above
specified, and ret the iron horse. meeting
midway between the Missouri aud the Pa
cifc, salute each other with great, stento-
rian screams OF triumph and congratula-
ton. The completion of this continental
highway, now an assured fact, will be an
event worthy of railroad celebration such
as should make all former ceremonies seem
tame. The President OF the Uuited States
should preside, 6anked on either hand by
all the Governors and members of the
Government, and entertaining as many
Tycoons, Emperors and other persons of
distinction as may choose to be in atten-
dance to celebrate such a triumph of
American enterprise.

AFFAIRS IN THE INTERIOR OF Gpor

/ AFFAIRS IN THE INTERIOR OF GEoR-
GIA.-A Savannah letter, dated Dec.
8, gives a very discomaging account
of affairs in the interior of Georgia.
Such is the unsettled and unreliable
character of the labor market that
work, in most instances, will have to
be abandoned until white labor can
be procured. The most liberal induce
ments, t seems, cannot make the
freedmen attend steady to their agree
ments, which are thrown up as soon
they earn a few dollars. A northern
man who has been in the lumber bust
ness in the vicinity of Atlanta for a
great number of years, and who has
not the prejudice against the freedmen,
that the natives have, has been obliged
to give up his business, not from lack
OF material to perform his labor, but
from the irregulaIity and unwillingness
Of the freedmen in doing his work.
He describes the condition of affairs
in his section as follows:
The white people are in a sad con-
dition. The country is bare of pro-
visions, the roads almost everywhere
are impossible, and, in the impending
distress Of the section and its com
plete isolation from all humanizing in
iluences, the inhabitants have become
desperate and vicious to a fearful eX-
tent, and are plunged into all the evils
Of social chaos. Springing naturally
out of this disordered state of affairs
is an organization of Regulars so
called. Their numbers include many
ex-confederate cavaliers of the coun-
try, and their mission is to visit sum
mary justice upon any offenders against
the public peace. 1t is needless to
say hat their attention is largely
directed to maintaining quiet aud sub
mission among the blacks. The shoot
ing or stringing up of some obstreper-
Gus niger by the Regulars is so
common an occurrence as to excite lit
tie remark. Nor is the work of pro-
scription confined 10 the freedmen
only, The Regulators 90 to the bot
tom Of the matter, and strive to
make it mcomfortably warm for any
new settler with demoralizing nova
tions Of wages for 'niggers.' Even
men who have served in the rebel
ranks are not safe in recognizing the
right of the negroes to labor tor a pc
cuniary compensation, and many have
been forced to leave because they have
employed and paid them"

MORE POISONING IN PITTsBURG,
PA woman named Nevins has
been arrested in Pittsburgh on the
charge Of having poisoned her husband,
a returned soldier. The crime was
committed some time ago, but the par
ties who suspected Mrs. Nevins, for
reasons of their own, made no charge
against her until this week. On being
arrested she exclaimed, without know
ing the reason for her apprehension

and woman, were also arrested as

Many of these persons, threatened

their relief We had never expected
to see such a state Of things in Ameri-

man who can share aught, however
little, must now deny himself all but
the bare necessities of life to save his
