Unparalleled Railroad Progress.

Tie Pacific Railroad hastens toward compile
ton. No peaceful enterprise Of sneient or mod
ern times was ever prosecuted with such energy
and persistence. The two mountain ranges of
the Continent have been successfully crossed, and
within yeal We shall have unhroken commani-
cation between New York and san Francisco At
the latest dates there remained only gap OF so
miles between the Eas'orn ard Western portions.
The line is beng extended from both directions
as fast a. labor and means can grade and lay the
track, the Central pacihe Company having put
down SIX miles in single Cay. By the close Of
this year, it is thought the gap be reduced to
less than 800 miles, possibly 10 less than 200.
Thus far, the Central Pacific Company have
sold their own First Mortgage Bonds, as fast, or
faster than they received the corresponding L. $.
Bonds on the road built, and in some cases it has
been necessary TO issue Certificates calling foT the
former, as soon as the Company could deliver
them. 1t is not improbable, therefore, that the
whole Of their First Mortgage Loan will be dis
posed Of before the through connection Is made,
and perhaps before January next. The advan-
tages OF these Bonds, as well as much information
concerning the Road, is set forth in our advertise
ing columns Of this issue.

Two ideas eof%tho American mind

There they must continue to dwell,
and there they will dwell forever.
Secession failed, because under guise
Of devotion to the one, it triod to

through desolation and untold be-

will now fail, because under suisc of
devotion to the other, il would tram
pic out OF existence tho rights OF the
States. Flippnnttalkurs speak lightly
Of the possibility Of another bloody
