it. The scheme is said to have the endorse
ment of some of our abiest engineers and naval
constructors. The magnitude Of the pecuniary
interests involved is presented by some tables,
prepared with great care by F. W. Kelley,
Esq, of New York, which show that the saving
Of distance by this route from New York to
Calcutta will be 5000 miles; to Canton 10, 500: to
Shanghai II, 1,6OO; to Valparaiso 300; to San
Francisco, 1900. From table showing
the trade of the United States that would
pass through the canal, taken from the
official returns Of 1857, the total value or
ships and cargoes is s1s3. .16s ss7; tonnage,
1.S57. .4s5. The annual saving to the United
States in insurance on vessels and cargoes, IN
terest, wear and tear Of ships, tme' wages Oh
crews and provisions for the same, be estimates
At $S5, ,995, $50. The estimated saving to the
trade of the world, based on the official returns
of 1857, is $49, $50, ,2O8. To these figures Mr.. K.
adds the statement that the exports OF Great
Britain increased in ten years 107 per cent; of
France, 1870 per cent; Of the United States, 50
per cent. sTf the trade Of the world increases
100 per cent. in ten years, the saving will be
$es, ,0eO, ,416 per annum." The savings Of sim
gle year, then. far exceed the estimate OF the
cost Of building the proposed ship railway. MIR.
Hanscom, engineer and naval constructor, and
builder Of our monitors, estimates the cost OF
Q ship railway at one-eighth OF the probable
coat Of ehip canal.

Pacific Railroads.

To-day, we are told, the last rail Of the
Pacific Railroad will be laid, and within
fortnight passengers will be able to sweep
through on continuous line from Wash
ington to San Francisco. The completion
Of this great work, which was begun only
Eve years ago, marred as it is, by gross
defects incident to hssty construction by
Q pack Of greedy speculstors and soullsSs
contractors, is yet mighty stride in the
progress Of the country. The next step in
the same direction must be taken by the
South. That the Southern Pacific Railroad
is to be built, and built soon, is one Of the
facts Of the future, although Congress has
denied to such road even the right Of way.
It will be constructed probably without the
use Of money abstracted from the pockets
Of the people, and, rightly managed, it will
accomplish for the South double what the
other railroads to the great Western ocean
can achieve for other sections. Let the
Southern press see to it that the subject is
necessarily sgitated.

AppLkroN's JOURNAL continues to i'm
prove with each succeeding number. Its
issue for this week is accompanied By the
second Of series of beautifully. executed
steA engravings, which the Messrs. Apple
ton intend to make feature Of their
journal. The one with the present number
is from q painting by Mr.. A. F. Bellows,
and is entitled The River Road" This
series of engrayings will, in the course offs
year, include landscapes by Church, CAST
lear, Durand, James Hart, and other we'll
known artists, and Of figure subjects illus
trative of American life, by F. o. G. barley.
The other features of the journal are
scarcely less attractive than the engrav-
ipgs. OF all the great Northern publish
ers, the Appleton's alone have kept aloof
from sectional bias, and nothing has ever
issued from their presses intended to
wound or defame the Southern people. We
hope that the journal will attain the wide
circulation which it 80 well deserves.

Technical Education.

The latest recognition Of the Importance
Of technical education in this country, is
afforded in q report transmitted by General
R. E. Lee, President Of Washington Col
legs, Virginia, suggesting a plan for the
extension Of the scientific and practical
departments Of that institution. The main
points Of the plan presented are as follows:
1. The establishment Of new departments
Of agriculture, Of commerce, and of applied
chemistry. 2. A more complete develop
ment Of the engineering schools now in
operation, 80 that to the course in civil and
mining engineering shall be added dis
tinct course in mechanical engineering, to
embrace, besides machinery, the most i'm
portant branches Of practical mechanics.
8. The opening Of farm and workshops in
connection with the instruction in sgrisul.
ture, industrial mechanics, and practical
chemistry.

The Stream of Immigration.

We are glad to see that business organi-
zstions at the North are at last actively In
teresting themselves in the good work OF
forwarding immigrants to the Southern
States, and 80 far, with the most encourag-
ing success. 1t is true that their opera
tions, for the present, look mainly to the
establishment of colonies in Virginia; but,
now that beginning has been made, the
movement must inevitably extend South
ward, and when inquiry is made as to
natural advantages of the States, South
Carolina certainly need not fear the result
of comparison with the best of her
neighbors. The following from the New
York Times, of Wednesday, shows the
character and extent of the movement to
which we have referred:
''The Manhattan Company have sent South
'ward within two weeks I6 persons, and many
"others are leaving daily. The locations cho-
'ssen are south Of the james River, in Kemble,
amherst, Bedford, Franklin, Mecklenburg
"and Halifax in Virginia. Each settlement
numbers from twenty-five to fifty families,
sand the lands have cost them, in state OF
sshaK cultivation, from 81 so to SO per acre.
"The colonists have purchased from 20 to 300
sacres each. The payments may be made as
follows: Some quarterly, in advance, some
'ssemi-annually, and some in labor. The Old
Dominion line Of steamers carry Southwark
s'every trip some member or family Of this col
s'ony. The next regular batch will leave May
s.2, and 5000 members are expected to leave
"within the next three months. The COM
sspany have added $3.50 to its treasury within
''the past week, making $1,000 therein at pre-
s'sent, with reserve fund Of s14, 900 deposited
