DISPATCHES FROM San Francisco give encouIa-
gng accounts of the progress and prospects Of the
Western end Of the Great Pacific Railroad. 1t will
be remembered that Congress granted to the two
principal Companies-the Union Pacific and the
Central Paci6c-the right to build their respective
lines from opposite ends until they meet and con-
meet. The former having nearly crossed the level
plains of Nebraska, is rapidly approaching the out
lying hills Of the Rocky Mountain range; while
the latter it appears, is making equally gratifying
headway. During this month it is expected the
last and greatest of the tunnels on the Western
link will be opeaed and the crossing Of the dread
ed Sierra Nevada Mountains be regularly made by
the locomotive, into tho Great SAT- Lake Basin
This achievement of hewing and blasting path
way through primsyal granite barriers, although
all included witkin $50 miles, is equivalent to
more than GOO miles of ordinary railroad, in cost
and resistance overcome. Upwards of $40, 600, 900
have been expended in the enterprise, which in
cludes, however, the equipment and materials Tor
one hundred and fifty miles additional. Eastward
of tho graded portion the line has been surveyed
and located for 600 miles, developing an easy and
favorable route and it is believed that fully halt OF
the distance between the Pacific coast and the
Missouri River will be built by the Central racine
Company, as they are favored BY having their
hardest work done, and by the presence OF large
numbers Of cheap and serviceable Chinese hbor-
ers. 1t is assuring to be informed, also, that the
business Of the road is very large the earnings for
July being s175,OOO in gold; while the operating
expenses were less than s25,OOO. The Company
receives large subsidy from the Government, and
in order to push on the work with greater energy,
are offering their first mortgage bonds for sale
through FISK HATCH, their financial agents in
New York, and our leading bankers, at rates very
tempting to capitalists.

BOOKS AND PERIODICALS.

In THE YEAR IS: Tale of Mectlcnburg Life. By FRITZ
REUTER-. Translated from the Plat Deusche by cHAs.
LEE LEwrs New York LEYpoIDT HOLT. 1867.
This little volume, rendered into English by
son of Mr. GEORGE HENRY LEwEs is admirably
translated. REUTER- is the author OF sundry minor
stories and pictures of the popular life OF North
western Germany all written in the dialect OF that
country, known as Glow Dutch, "Platt Deutsch,"
etc., not heretofore extensively represented in lite
rature. This dialect s one Of the Oldest in Ger
many, closely allied to Dutch, the language, we
mean, spoken in Holland, and resembling English
also much more than does the High German-t.e.,
the language spoken in Contra! Germany, the
vehicle Of thought among the educated all over the
country, the language Of tho school, tho church,
the court, and OF polite society. Ono great charm
of MIR. REUTER's stories is lost, even In 30
excellent translation as this Of Mr.. LEwEs; we
refer to the many idiomatic expressions and pro-
verbs, peculiar to that section Of tho country,
which cannot bear tho rude touch Of the transla-
tor. The storyis amusing for those who are easi-
ly amused It's chief merit is that it discourses OF
country and Of people whose manners and modes
OF thought are but little known. This may seem
strange too, when we consider that this part OF
Germany is nearest to England. The character
and habits of the people, however. we think offers
fey salient points, and the physical conformation
ofthe country also is not OF the kind usually Sc
lected by romance writer's as the scene OF operation.
MIR. LEwEs therefore merits our thanks for open
ing this new field. The original title of the little
volume before us is I" III de Franzosentid. F." It
is the after piece or farce, wo suppose utter AUEn

.'Goldmaker Village" in their series OF 'sco-opera
