KILLED Ut IsDrAss.-We are informed that
a party Of men coming from Surprise Valley,
stopped at Deaf Hole Station, OH the Honey
Lake road, and seeing nothing of the men who
belonged there, they began search. wagon
track was seen running away from the house
into the hills. This track was followed, and
about half a mile from the house the wagon
was found and the bodies Of both of the men
who kept the station. They had gone out for
q load of wood, were surprised and murdered
by the red devils who have always infested
that country. The station keepers name was
Hiram Partridge, and he had lived there for
several years. He knew the habits Of the In
dams IN well as q man could, and must have
been completely thrown of his guard by the
protracted peace that has followed the whip

WITHIN SEVEN YEARs.--On the Fourth, nj
san Francisco, Secretary Seward was called
out after the Grafton was delivered and made
the following remarks, in which he predicted
that we would have three railroads across the
continent:
Fellow-citiZens: In the response which you
have the right to expect, You must not hope
to find any Fourth of July grafton. For many
years have had an excuse for that. / have
prepared Fourth of July Grafton; have had
1t prepared for some time, but the time for its
delivery has not yet come. 1t will come when
three Pacific railroads, instead of one, stretch
their iron rails across the continent: il will
come when l see these vast alkali plains be-
tween you and the cornfelds and prairies Of
Illinois, or to bound them more accurately, be-
tween the Sierras and the Rocky Mountains
covered with trees and vegetation, n vast field
for the support of the immense population
which is crowding to our shores; il will be
when the star of empire which has come this
way, toward the land of the setting SUM- after
the pioneers of California shall shed its light
north Of our boundaries in the Arctic Ocean
and south till its rays mingle with those of the
Southern Cross in the tropics This period !
anticipate not to be very distant. l hope
will see it. think it is only about seven years
away from us now. l think it will take place
by 1877-the year Of the hundredth auniver-
sary of American Independence. Immense

doctrine of the brotherhood Of man is correct,
and the right to the ballot is natural right,
then let us embrace it rs such in all its full
ness, and manfully assume all the consequences
which are likely to ensue from the revolution
which it involves. The Government, from its
foundation to the present time, has been ad-
ministered on the basis of caste, denying the
doctrine Of the unity Of races; but the old or
der Of things is about to pass away and give
place to what is termed broader and higher
civilization, which recognizes in its fullest
sense the Scriptural doctrine Of a common an
cestry and a common brotherhood among
all the races of men. Let MS then not
halt on the threshold of the new era and re-
fuse to give it fair trial by denying that we
meant all men but only those Of certain colors
and nntivities. For ourselves, we want no
quibbling, hating or evasion, no shrinking
back in fear and cowardly terror at the pros
pect of full and complete realization of the
new theory on which the Government is about
to be launched. We have had Government
of caste for seventy odd years. and the people
were not satisfied with it. Let us now try n
Government of brotherhood" for an equal
length of time, and see whetherit proves more
satisfactory, but no fair experiment can be
made while we exclude any from the ballot.

A NEW PACIFIC RoAD.-Nearly four centu-
nes ago, the struggle for the trade of the
Indies led to the discovery Of the New World.
The mightiest achievements of modern mari
time advancement, almost simultaneously
completed within the present year, mark the
continuance of that old effort. Here we build
n railroad across the continent, and thus work
our way westward to the indies. There they
bring seas and oceans together by ship canal,
and thus work their way eastward to the
Indies. The Pacific Railroad and the Sucz
Canal indicate the great currents, new in di-
rection but old in their tendency, into which
the trade of the world is turning.
But now comes fresh competitor for the
old prize. Instead of Pacific Railroad three
thousand miles long, We are daZzled with II
promise of one only one hundred and seventy
three miles long. Instead of protecting snow
sheds through mountain gorges, we hear of n
route belted with groves of orange trees. In
stead of dangers from Indians, we hear of en-
couragement from the landed proprietors. In
stead of n desert we hear of a garden; instead
of vast unsettled wastes, of n country settled
as long ago as the time of the MouteZumas
With these come visions of connecting steam
ship lines, n cutoff railroad across the PENN
sula of Florida, and routes for trade from the
lsthmus of Tehauntepec, east and west, and
north and south, cutting oceans into mere
tracks for steamships and continents into
lines for railways, to carry to and from New
York, San Francisco, London and Pellin, the
trade of the world.
Undoubtedly the route across the Isthmus
of Tehuantepec, in the lower part of Mexico,
possesses certain very marked advantages over
any other route for crossing from ocean to
ocean. We shall have, before another decade
has passed not less, We trust, than three new
Pacific railways one to the north of the ex-
listing line, one connecting Texas with the
lower coast of California and skirting the
northern border of Mexico, and third cross
ing Mexico near its lower line. OF these, the
last is so much the shortest that it can and
ought to be the first to reach completion. 1t
will have its own field of usefulness and will
compete largely and successfully for the
enormous trade toward which its projectors
are confidently looking.-N. Y. Tiibw,c, J"ig

DRowHED.-On last Saturday after
noon James Brownlne, of this city.
started for East Liverpool on board the
steamer Petrolia, intending to return
on her on Monday. He was last seen
by the officers of The boat at the ferry
landing, on the West Virginia side OF
the river just above the Railroad bridge.
While there he went into keel boat,
which the steamer had i'll tow, as was
supposed, to taNe nap When the
boat arrived at East Liverpool, Brown
lee not making his appearance, search
was made for him, but lie could not be
found, but it occasiOned no alarm, as
the crew of the boat supposed he bad
got off at the last place he was seen.
On Sunday morning body was found
floating in the river at the place he was
seen to get into the keel boat. A Cor
oner's inquest was held. when the body
proved to be that OF Brownlee. His
remains we're brought to this city for
interment. Nothing is known OF the

IMPORTANCE OF SLEEP.-Those who

require most sleep. Time saved from
necessary sleep is infallibly destructive
to mind, body and estate. Give your

morning the moment they awake, and
within a fortnight nature, with almost
the regularity OF the rising sun, will

safe and sufficient rule; and as to the
question how much sleep one requires,
each must be rule for himself; great

DR.. Edward Smith, OF Brooke county,
West Virginia, was here last Sunday,
Oh a visit to the family of his son-in-
law, General Richardson. In many re.
spects the Doctor is a remarkable man.
He was born in the country side where
he has ever since resided, seventy-three
years ago, while the first race of west
trn pioneers were still vigorous men,
busily shaping and directing all things
about them. He intimately knew
Philip and Joseph Doddridge before
either was conscious of his wonderful
powers; and, perhaps, he was also &C.
quainted with John Doddrid2e, their
father. When boy, DR.. Smith was
frequent visitor at the house of George
Hammond, and knew his son, Charles
Hammond, when he had lust entered
upon his career as lawyer, legislator
and political writer. lie knew Alex.
ander Campbell when he was yet an OBJ
scure preacher; and he knew BaZaleel
Wells, OF Steubenville, both in the
noon-tide blaze of prosperity, and amid
the deepening shadows OF the mtsfor-
tunes that overloaded his declining
years. Tho associates of his early life
were men who now seem 30 far re-
moved into a dim and distant period
that VIC habitually speak OF them as
belonging to a heroic age. And yet
DR.. Smith, who saw them in their prime,
is still hale, hearty man. His mind
retains its vivacity and force, nor Is his
natural strength abated. The writer
reckOns himself good pedestrian, but,
for all that, DR.. Smiths movements
urged him to his best gait, as they walk.
ed together. His recollection of early
times is remarkably good, and he is by
no means unObservant of what trans
pires in modern days. Surely it Is a
matter of felicitatiOn thus to have out
lived the term allotted to man by the
Psalmist, and to have been SO able, &C
tive and buoyant in the discharge of
the duties assigned to one in the station
marked out for him in thegeneral prov
idenco of God !-OfdricttG Times.
