Railroad to the Pacific.

Quick and cheap communication
across the continent to the Pacific
must, of necessity, exert q great and
beneficial influence upon our nation
al growth and society, not only bind
ing together more closely these two
sections of our common country, but
also afrording an outlet for the vast
mineral wealth of our extreme wes-
tern States and territories. 1t is
therefore with much satisfaction, that
we note the increased rapidity OF
railroad building west from the Mis-
souri, river; and we shall here con-
dense for our readers few items Of
interest touching this great work of
internal improvement. Now and for
some time past, the construction on
the main line of road west from
Omaha has been on an average Of q
mile and a quarter per day. About
125 miles are now laid and in opera
ton on this line, and it is estimated
that by October another 100 miles
will be completed, bringing US to
Fort Kearney or the Tooth parallel.
This is one third of the distance from
the river to the Rocky Mountains,
and the most difficult section to build.
The iron rails are already bought
sufficient for 100 miles beyond Fort
kearney or half across the plains;
and the whole 600 miles to the base
Of the mountains can be built, at the
present rate of progress, by the lst
Of January, 1868. The work on the
Pacific end of the road is also going
on rapidly and thus far with great
success. Twelve thousand Chinese
laborers are now pushing the road
over the Sierras aud sweeping down
into the valleys of Nevada Aided
by favorable legislation and gener
ons contributions from tho Gnvnrn-
ment, and pressed forward by active,
energetic men, it is no idle boast to
say, that this great work can and
will be completed, and the rail cars
be running from ocean to ocean,
within four or five years. When the
main line across the continent is once
completed, branch lines will at once
be constructed, running North and
South into all parts of the Western
territories, and the vast mineral
wealth of those regions be fully de-
veloped, affording the country q
ready means for the payment of our
national debt.

A New CrY Of Rebellion.

Hon. G. II. Pendleton, of Ohio, in
recent speech of his at Reading,
Pa, held the following language
"If these States are not entitled to
representation in Congress, they are
not entitled to vote in the electoral
colleges. If they are not permitted
to vote in 1868, and their vote COM
hined with that of either party at the
North would elect q President, will
that party submit to the decision?-
Will it consent that the will of the
whole country should be defeated by
4 known and acknowledged minority,
and if il will not submit will there
not be disorder, turbulence, probably

language held by the Democratic
leaders in 1860. We were then told

The people elected Lincoln, and the
war came IS promised by the demo

leaders sgain utters the same threat.
Elect US, the democratic leaders of
1860 to Office, or you will have war
again; and he might have added, you
know that we democrats can in 1865
make our predictions true, as we did
in 1861.
Here the people are distinctly told

THE PORTLAND FIRE.

THE great disaster at Portland, Maine,
July 4th, adds another illustration Of the ad-
yantages Of GENUINE UNDERWRITING
and STRONG INDEMNITY, in trying
emergencies.
Portland was one Of the most substantial
built cities in the United States, having
large prepOnderanee Of stone, brick and fire
proof buildings. Yet it was nearly swept
from existanee in a few hours, by a "eon-
temptable Fire cracker"
The losses by the Companies which We
represent, have been greatly exaggerated; but

Reports have been freely circulated that
the Capitol Of the Hartford Insurance Co., has
been impaired; they are FALSE. and the con.
struetlon OF the reports Of the "New York In
snrance Department. TO support such state
ments are frauds. The figuring used by the
Hon. WIN. Barnes" in that report applied
10 the " "h.tns Co." would show like result.
The Hartford Times reports sales Of Etna

that company claim that they are "par ex-

We claim that there are others as good, and
the HARTFORD and METROPOLITAN

Three Days Later from Europe.

The steamer Scotia brings Euro.
pean news TO the 18th of July-three
days later than the advices previous
ly received. The intelligence from
the seat of war is interesting, with
ont being decisive. The armistice
has not yet been concluded, though
negotiations were in progress. At
last accounts the prospect of set
uement was not so flattering as for
mer reports had asserted.
The Vienna papers declare that
sll hope of the mediation of France
is at an end for the present, and
that Austria must depend on her
own resources. The resources are
by no means exhausted. Gen. Bene-
dek's army numbers 100000 men,
exclusive of artillery and cavalry,
and though disheartened by reverses
may be reasonably expected to fight
well. Meanwhile, Prussia is not re-
laxlng her exertions. Her troops
were, at our latest information, only
nine or ten days march from Vienna.
1t is asserted that France and Prus-
sia are in perfect accord. We sup
pose Napoleon is willing enough to
have Prussian soldiers fight his bat
ties without any expense to him, but
it will be singularly contrary to his
well known character if he does not
appear at the right time to secure q
good share of the spoils.
From Italy we have the announce
ment of the occupation OF Rovigo by
Gen. Cialdini. This is a place of
about ten thousand inhabitants,
situated in Venetia, about thirty
seven miles southwest of Venice
No battles are reported either in
Germany or Italy.
The news from the Atlantic cable
is encouraging. A splice had been
effected on the 18th, and by the 18th
135 miles of the cable had been
safely towed out. We may expect
very soon to hear from the expedi-
ton on this side of the Atlantic

It's brief and simple statement of
facts, known to all, shows the incon-
sistency of President Johnson's
course better than anything we have

ed, the President decided, and right
ly, that civil government had been
destroyed in each of the rebel States,
and he officially proclaimed that fact
in his commissions to Provisional
Governors thereof. The Congress
sional policy starts from the same
initial point. The President declar-
ed that as essential conditions, in
volving great changes, must be COM
piled with by those States before
they could resume their forfeited
rights. And so Goes Congress. The
President required the ratification
of an important Constitutional
amendment, which had been sub
mitted by Congress representing
the loyal States, and in which the
rebel States had no voice. And Con-
gress makes a similar demand to- day.
If the President could rightly re-
quire their ratification of one amend
ment, changing their whole system
of labor, and destroying what they
regarded as vested rights of proper
ty, proposed by Congress in which
they were unrepresented, and in coH
fiict, as it was, with their life long
prejudices, why cannot the Congress,
elected as the law making power of
the country by the same voters as
himself, require the ratification of
another amendment, preventing the
rebel States from welding increased
power in Congress hereafter, because
of the war, which, against their de-
sires, had lifted their slaves into the
full stature of freemen?"
