From the Rocky Mountains, the practi-
cable route will be taken to Great Salt
Lake City, and thence by the Valley of
the Humboldt River to the eastern base
of the Sierra Nevada Mountains. The
Central Pacific Railroad is now being
rapidly built east from Sacramento Cal,
and is already completed about 100
miles, and will connect with the Union
Pacific.
WHAT HAS BEEN DONE AND ITS COST,
As we remarked before, there has been
very little talk, and great deal Of work.
Almost before the public were aware, IL
had been begun. On the first of January,
1867, the Union Pacific Railroad was
finished for 305 miles west from Omaha,
and fully equipped with Locomotives,
Rolling Stock, Repair Shops, Depots
Stations, &c, and the company have on
hand iron, ties, and other materials, suf-
tlCient to finish the road TO the Rocky
Mountains, or 5l7 miles from Omaha, by
the first Of September, 1867. 1t is ex-
pected that the whole line through TO
California will be completed in 1870.
The first sos miles were graded,
bridged and ironed, with heavy Trail,
and supplied with suitable depots, re-
pair shops, stations, locomotives, cars,
and all the necessary appurtenanCes Of q
trst-cass road, for $4,000 per mile, and
it is believed that the remaining portion
| will not increase the average cost to
/ more than $G6 600 per mile, exclusive OF
euuipmpnts,

Our late dispatches by the Atlantic cable
relating to the situation in Europe have been
singularly interesting and suggestive. While
Napoleon is submitting with as much grace as
possible to his last humiliating defeat at the
hands Of the various Powers who refused to
join him in an international Congress; while
I.aly, mainly through his meddling policy IS
CONFUSED throughout all her borders and
threatened with revolution and disintegration ;
while the Holy Father sits uneasy on his throne,
and, Notwithstanding the presence of French
bayonets, trembles for the future, Germany
gathers strength moro and more, and marches
steadily onward to her magnificent future. IL
has been known for some time that the North
ern and Southern Considerations were united
by military and commercial treaties; 1t was
also known that Prussia had been successful in
inducing Holland to join the Zollverein but
it was not known before that Belgium, Frances
nearest and weakest neighbor, had elected to
cast in her lot with Germany rather than with
France On being requested by the govern
ment Of the Tuleries to join customs union
with France, the little kingdom politely replies
that to do SO was impossible, as she had
already concluded military and commercial
alliance with Prussia. At the same time we
are informed that in order to leave bis duchy
free to join the Confederation Of the North, the
Grand Duke OF Baden proposes to abdicae.
straw, it is often said, Is sufficient to indicate
how the wind blows. The present ten
dency of things ia too manifest for
Napoleon to misunderstood it. He has
taught with great emphasis the doc
trine of the rights Of nationality. The teach
ing is now turning out strongly to his own
disadvantage. In this case, as often before,
ambition hath o'erleapt itself and fallen on the
other side. The German element in and around
France may yet prove much more powerful
than Napoleon imaglnes. 1t is moth any means
improbable that at no distant day the energies
Of France will be directed less to the extern
sion than to the preservation or her territory.
The union of Germany, which Is now inevitable,
will by many be accepted as cause OF thankful
nesS for while il will hold In check the ambition
Of France on the one hand, it will act as pow
erill bulwark against Russian aggression on
Tho other. The complete uniication of the
Fatherland may yet be found to establish the
European equilibrium on firmer and more
enduring basis than ever. Meanwhile, though
he protestor of the Vicar Of Christ it is not to
De denied that the fates seem to be against
Napoleon.

The disunionists of New Jersey
held a State Convention at Trenton,
on the 3D. inst, and adopted a plat
form "pledging themselves to the
eradication Of the word white" from
the State Constitution, and calls upon
Congress to "coMPELL ALL THE
STATES" of the Union to allow the
negro to uote and hold office. There
are six resolutions about the equality
of the negro, n Of which declares
that they "cheeJully accept the issue
Of negro roting and office holding'' as
one of the questions to be decided in
"this campaign"
This is the real issue in Ohio, as it
is in New Jersey. All who believe
the Negro the better man, that he
Should hold Office, sit on imies and in
all things political be the equal if not
the superior of the white, will vote

D1sTREssED.-The Cincinnati Eaqui-
rer, in speaking of the candidate
for Governor on the Negro Suffrage
ticket, says;
"Gen, Hays is distressed, and makes
it a ground Of accusation against many
prominent Democrats that they did
not favor the late war, but strove to
arrest,it. He thinks this was an un-
pardonable crime. Well, he has had
his war. He has had half a million
Of lives lost. He has had million of
men wounded and mutilated. He has
had the Bosom of destruction carried
all over the South, He has put upon
the people a four thousand million
national debt. He has involved them
in taxation of the most crushing charac-
ter. He has made a million or SO of
widows and orphans. His war has
provoked a general debauchery of the
public morals. Now, will he tell us
what we have gained by it? What is
the recompense Of the people? Have
they got any thing more than a negro
empire in the South, negro equality in
the North, and Radical office holders
in power? @a1
