General FremOncs Purchase Of the South
west Pacific Railroad.


GENERAL JOHN O. FREMONT has become the pur-
chaser of the Southwest Pacific Rairoad-the
terms of the sale being the payment of one mil.
lion three hundred thousand dollars, one quar-
ter down, and the remainder in three annual
payments.
This road branches off from the Missouri
Pacific Railroad a short distance west of st.
Louis, and penetrates to the south western por-
tion OF the State of Missouri II is now COM
pleted to Rolla, and was extensively used for
military purposes during the war. By the
terms ofthe contract of sale, the road is to be
finished to the western boundary OF the State
within three years and six months, and to
specified intermediate points at shorter in.
tervals. ar
This road was originally chartered as the
Southwest Branch Of the Missouri Pacific Rail
road, and was sold by the State on account of
default in payment OF loans made TO il by the
State. It is an important branch of the great
railroad system which radiates westwardly from
St LOUIS as centre, being intended to run
directly to Fort Smith, on the western boundary
of Arkansas, and thence west by the old over
land mail route towards the Pacific. 1t may
thus be looked upon as the initiatory step In the
construction Of the Southern Pacific Railroad.
Its endowment Of public lands in Missouri is
large and valuable, and il traverses section of
that State very rich in agricultural and mineral
resources. Its construction will be of great
advantage both to South western Missouri and to
Southern Kansas.
The future of st. Louis, with so many great
railroad lines concentrating there, and pouring
into her bosom the traffic of the mighty West
beyond her, cannot well tall short OF the most
glowing antlcipations OF her wise and far-seeing
citizens

The Great TIiaI.

THE effort made yesterday by Mr.. WILLIAM B.
REED, of this city, and his fellow-counsel for
JEFFERSON DAVIS, to have the case called up
before Judge UNDERWOOD, at Richmond, Is but
the putting into action of what was determined
upon long since. We sincerely hope they may
succeed. For once our sympathes run in the
same channel as the Hong Kong Ambassadors.
As it is evident that the Government will not
have the Luciier OF Rebellion before military
court, the next best thing that can be done is to
have TIE case disposed of by the civil authori-
ties. If DAVIS is guilty-and who can doubt il {?
then let him be tried, in order that he may be
punished. II he is innocent, we are indeed
modern agents of the Holy Inquisition.' As
lone as he remains at Fortress Monroe, so long
will his detention be made the theme for politi-
cal harangues, and be manipulated into political
capital. IT, however, he be tried before fury
whose loyalty is undoubted, his conviction is a
certainty, and we can in no other way interpret
the significant speech of Judge UNDERWOOD
than to mean that, If convicted, the President
will let Justice have her own. a
His remarks are noticeable: "The complaints
of threatened violence and intimidation which
have been forwarded to me by several of your
number, for your late heroic and patriotic
actions, have been submitted to the highest legal
and military authorities Of the Government, and
can assure yOu OF me earnest sympathy dndfrm
support of all the officers of the lo1, not excepting
the President, lOhoTn NE reasonable non fltter
and fda0n upon, bta tohon they oo@ probably soon
curse as heartily as they aid too gears ago."
Unless warranted by definite information, his
Honor would hardly have ventured on such an
assertion. We may, therefore, expect TO know
definitely what may be the intentions of the
Government, when the trial will come on, how il
will be conducted, and what will be the fate of
this greatest of criminals, in few days, as the
District Attorney promises to announce his plan
of action to-day. Let us have the whole matter
settled, and let the name and dishonor of JET
PERSON DAVIS be speedily buried in felon':
grave.

RoAD.MAKNG IN PARIs.-A series of expert
ments has been made by the municipality of
Paris, TO test the comparative merits of rival
steam locomotives employed in crushing and
consolidating the broken granite laid on the
streets 1t has oeen decided that the Ballson
locomotive is the better of the two. 1t has two
rollers the engine being between them, and the
boiler on one OF them. The motion is commu-
nicated by chain. Its force is ten horse po Wer,
and its consumption OF coal about sixteen pounds
per horse. Ii may now be seen at all hours of
the day, crushing smooth the granite OF the new
boulevards OF Paris; in the more crowded tho
roughfares il works only at night.
ANEW DISEASE. "A new disease, to which DR..
Cattani gives the name of Acetonemie, has been
described in the Journal de PhdrTnac,e, OF Paris.
II is thought TO be produced by the formation of
a chemical compound called acetone in the
system. This arises from the formation OF
stomach. The disease sometimes, though not
often, proves fatal in few hours. The remedies
are purgatives and stimulants.

ANECDOTE OF COLUMBUS.

WHEN this celebrated navigator was
crossing the Atlantic, after his first dis
covery of America, he encountered a
dreadful storm. Noprospect of deliver
encc appearing, the sailors abandoned
themselves to despair, expecting every
moment to be swallowed up. The feel
ings of Columbus at the time are best eX-
pressed in one ofhis own letters.
" | would" says he, "have been less
concerned for this misfortune, had been
alone in the danger, both because my
life is debt that | owe to the Supreme
Creator, and because l have at other
times been exposed to the most immi-
ncnt hazard. But what gave me in
finite grief and vcXation was, that after
it had pleased our Lord to give me faith
to undertake this enterprise, in which
l had now been so successful, that my
opponents would have been convinced,
and the glory of your highness and the
extent your territory increased by me,
it should please the Divine Majesty to
stop all by my death. All this would
have been more tolerable, had it not
been attended with the loss of tn ose
men whom l had carried with me, upon
promise of the greatest prosperity; who,
seeing themselves in such distress, ours :
ed not only their coming along with me,
but fear and awe for me which prevent
ed them from returning, as they often
had resolved to have done. But besides
all this, my sorrow was greatly increas-
ed by recollecting that / had left my
two sons at school at Cordova, destitute
of friends in foreign country, where it
could not in all probability be known
that | have done such services as might
induce your highness to remember
them"

GOOD heavensW exclaimed the oblig-
ing young man, " I threw it out of the
car at Needham thought it belonged
to Captain Holmes"
"Captain Holmes ~ exclaimed the
old fellow, with look of despair, "who
is Captain Holmes? That bundle con-
tanned all my clean clothes, that l was
to wear at my sons wedding tomorrow
morning. Dear me, what can 1 do?"
Nothing could be done but to give his
address to the obliging young man as
before, and console himself with the
promise that the bundle should be re-
turned to him, provided it was ever
found. The obliging young man was
now in despair, and made another solemn
vow that he would never attempt to be
obliging again. The next station was
his landing-place, and as he went toward
the door of the car, he saw asilver-head-
ed cane, which he took hold of and read
the inscription on it, "Moses Holmes,
East Needham."
"Well," again exclaimed the obliging
young man, "if here isn't Captain
Holiness canep
EYES," said gentleman, who got in
at the last station, "and the old man is
lame too. He will miss his stick"
"Do you know him?" inquired the
obliging young man.
"Know him? should think so," re-
piled the gentleman; "he is my uncle"
"And does he live at East Needham ?"
asked the obliging young man.
"Ofcourse he does. He never lived
anywhere else"
"Well, if it don't beat everything"
said the obliging young man, and
put him out at West Needham, a mile
and half the other side of his home.n

NOT DEEP ENOUGH FOR
PRAYER.

A GOOD story is told of two raftsmen,
who were caught in the late big blow on
the Mississippi, at which SO many crafts
were swamped and so many steamboats,
lost their sky riggings. The raft was
just emerging from Lake Pepin as the
squall came. In an instant it was pitch
ing and writhing as if suddenly drop
ped into Charybdis, while the waves
broke over her with tremendous uproar,
and, expecting instant destruction, the
raftsman dropped on his knees and COM
menced praying with rim equal to the
emergency. Happening to open his
eyes an instant, he observed his COM
panion, not engaged in prayer, but push
ing pole in the water at the side of the
raft.
"What's that yer doing, Mike?" said
he; "get down on yer knees now, for
there isn't Il minute between us and Pur-
gatoryw
"Be aisy, Pat" said the other, as he
coolly continued to punch with his pole,
"be aisy, now; what's the use of prayin'
when fellow can tech bottom with Il
pole?"
Mike is a pretty good specimen of a
large class of Christians, who prefer to
omit prayer rs long rs they can "tech
bottom"
