ACROSS the Continent in Fifteon Days.

The Union Pacific railroad has already
reduced in point Of time the overland
journey TO California one week. How
ever important this reduction is deemed
by those whom business or pleasure
prompts to undertake this journey across
the continent, it is of far greater moment
to commercial and financial operators,
A notable instance of the value of this
saving in time by reason of the railroad
facilities which this company have made
available is justannounced. Dispatches
received here yesterday state that the
mails from China and Japan, which have
heretofore been sent from San Francisco
by sea, and which have occupied from
twenty-five to twenty four days in transit
from that city to New York, left the
former city by the overland route on the
10th ult., and will be due here tomorrow
morning, only fifteen days from the
Pacific coast. Such rapidity of trans
mission is unprecedented, and the fact
that it is now possible is due to the en-
ergy which has been manifested by the
Union Pacific Railroad Company in the
construction of the great national line
which that corporation has had in hand.
The total time from Japan to New York
is now reduced to about forty days, while
the Liverpool merchants may receive
their advices by this route in nine or ten
days more. The industrial armies who
are digging and blasting away for the
locomotive through the Rocky Mountains
and the Sierra Nevada are working as
directly in the interests of New York
and European capitalists and merchants
as of those personally connected with the
railroad companies. In five years hence
the wonder will be, not that any parties
were audacious enough to project and
build Pacific railroad, but that the
business of this city and Of the country
we're so long content to do without it,

Ene li.h view. Of Fonianism.


The London Times has tho following
guarded comments on the funeral de-
monstration st Hyde Park, on the Sun
day after the Manchester Fenians were
hanged:
There is no necessity for exaggerating
the significance Of the demonstration in
HYDE Park yesterday, still less for
Affecting alarm for its possible conse'
querces. II is not surprising that
couple Of thousand persons should be
brought together on a day Of cessation
from labor, and it would be wrong TO
attribute to any one who Joined in the
procession a perfect comprehension OF
the meaning Of its promoters. Funeral
professions numbering some hundreds
NAV beseen almost any Sunday winding
along Oxford street, and to many OF
those who were congregated yesterday
one procession was probably as good as
another. But if we need not overrate
this last demonstration in Hyde Park,
we must not overrake il. II will at least
be well that the weak-minded persons
who abet such gatherings should UNDER
stand what they are doing The express
sions Of the leaders were not limited to
pity for the convicts; they passed into
admiration and approval; aud 1t is, OF
course, plain that it is impossible TO ap'
prove the rescue effected by them without
approving the plans or the persons who
were rescued.
The London Star, in allusion to the
executions, thus reviews the Fenian
situation; gua
We are engaged, then, in struggle
with Fenianism which is likely to be
long, weary, and, we may now assume,
bloody also. We must, at the same time,
enter into a rivalry with it, and bid
against it for the confidence and sym
pathy of the mass Of the Irish people.
Yet a little, and we shall assuredly be
too late A blind, indopitable hatred
will take the place Of tho feeling with
which Ireland now regards us. Once
that feeling becomes general the matter
is hopeless, The question of nation
alities," as il is called, is one of the
greatest curses with which any country
could be afflicted, and if we do not take
some prompt and efficient measures to
redress the serious practical grievances
of Ireland, and to win back the conf
denee of the Irish people, we shall have
our question of the nationalities to dis
tract and enfeeble US. Mos. assuredly
Fenianism won a great point last Satur-
day, when it provoked us into baptizing
it in blood. We must be prompt,
earnest and generous, if we would not
be driven by Fenianism to the choice of
reconquering ireland or renouuciDg her.
