THE PACIFIC RAILROAD.

The Indians on the frontier, particularly
along the line Of the Pacific railroad, are
doing considerable in the way Of checking
the progress Of the work on this great tho
roughfare Of the continent. Still, with all
this drawback, it is marvellous to note the
advancing and rapid strides with which
this work is going forward. On this side,
or what is known as the Eastern section,
each day brings the workmen nearer and
nearer to the hills known as the Rocky
Mountains. II our Indian troubles were
at an end it is fair to presume that this
work would 60 forward with much greater
celebrity, and all the eastern forks of this
great railway would soon form by them
selves and the trunk line junction with
the road which is being rapidly constructed
on the Pacific slope. How important, then,
that this Indian war be brought to speedy
close; that this great enterprise may be
completed; seurely important to this end,
if for no other reason. But other and hu.
name reasons, as well as this, urge the i'm.
mediate cessation Of hostilities. Let those
whose immediate duty it is TO put an end
to this war, and thus secure q lasting peace
with the hostile tribes, see to II that it be
done as soon as possible. The world is
waiting for the completion Of this great
work, and few thousand savages more or
less must not be permitted to stand in the
way Of its accomplishment.
From the contemplation Of what is doing
in this Eastern slope we may turn our at
tention to what is transpiring on the Pacific
side. The main line Of the road is now
said to be nearly finished TO the summit
Of the Sierra Nevada, and that there is
only few more obstructions to be re-
moved, when the locomotive from the Pa
cifc coast, with train Of psnderous cars
attached, shall come laundering down
upon BRIGHAM YoUSG's dominions, and
the steam whistle shall awake the echoes
of the Great Salt Lake basin. What an
achievement is this. But few Of us have
considered the difficulties with which our
friends on the other side have had to con.
tend. For one hundred and fifty miles
they have had to hew their way through
solid rocks and mountain ranges, which
at one time, appeared SO formidable tina
even some Of the most sanguine and ablc
of modern engineers expressed doubts as
to whether il were possible the undertak
ing could ever be called u success. All
doubt is now removed; for, as we have
said, it is nearly completed. This was a
more difficult task than the construction
of the $50 miles which lie east OF it,
Thanks to the most skillful and up
proved engineering, the abundant re
sources which the company have at its
command, the use Of gunpowder and
nitro-glycerine and plenty OF Chines'
laborers, this grand enterprise now bid
fair to be consummated as early as 1870
when from New York to San Francisco
there will be continuous line Of railway

The National Academy OF Science.

The National Academy Of Sctencc.
We take the following account Of the
meeting Of the members Of this institution
at Hartford, Conn, from the New York
Times. The Times says: 81 a.
"At the National Academy ofScience, at
Hartford, larger attendance was present
than at any time heretofore. Prof Gibbs
opened on the use or extension OF the use
Of the spectroscope, and its more advan.
tageous construction. He also illustrated
the valuable improvement Of his own ap-
paratus, used in the study Of the phe-
nomena OF absorption. Prof. Road ex-
pressed himself much interested, and spoke
Of the great advantage derived from the
improvements.
professor Hall made an important con-
tribution, treating Of the value Of certain
groups in the geological series when
traced in their geographical extension.
Professor Agassiz said he was deeply in
terested in the paper, il being, in fact, q
condensation Of Hale's investigations Of
the geology Of America. Professor Henry
gave some interesting facts relative to the
action Of air and ocean currents, claiming
that the latter was produced by the mo-
ton Of the air principally, and Il no con:
tinents interposed, would be one continued
current round the globe.
Prof Pierce alluded to his duties with
the coast survey. He considered that he
was not called TO carry out any special
views Of his own, but simply as the stew
ard Of the great trust in which science was
called TO contribute 10 the great material
interests in the country. He called on
scientific men TO assist, il they had any
thing bearing on the benefit Of the survey.
Prof Agassiz followed with o paper on
the Calculation Of the blood In the
skates" which, as he stated, had its bearing
on the circulation in other animals. Prof.
Gibbs read paper on the method Of
determining wave lengths in the solar
spectrum" which Prof. Pierce charac-
terized as an exquisite investigation.
Prof. Aassiz then read three papers by
title.
General Barnard read continuation
Of his previous paper, and Professor
Henry made, in conclusion, some remarks
on the importance Of the National Acad-
emy to the general interests, and thanked
the public for the interest shown in these
meetings. The Academy did not elect a
President to fill the vacancy caused by
the death Of Prof. Bache, nor three men,
bers to fill the complement Of fifty, but re-
served these matters for consideration at
the regular annual meeting at Washington
in January.

The AMERICAN COLONY AT JAFFA.-The
American colony which went out from the
State of Maine some time since to Jafia,
Syria, have found it anything but pleasant.
They have petitioned to benevolent societies
and to the humane generally to get aid tc
enable them to return to their homes in
Maine. These people were the dupes ol
one G,J ADAMS, pretended prophet. but
an impostOr and swindler. According
to the accounts received from them they
are in very destitute and distressing con-
