The great CENTRAL PACGPIe RAILROAD is there
fore, in an important sense, a SEAn'NATIoNAL
WORK aided and commended by the people the
Legislative power, and the Executive officers,
though its management is administered toith all
the care and Iorethought Ct the most eminent private
corporations. Being under the constant super
vision of the Government-whO, being the prin-
cipal creditor, accepts subordinate and cOntin-
gent lien-with so large an amount of addition
al capital also invested in the property pledged
il Is believed that no securities now offered in
the market possess the sane claims to conf.
dence and market value, except those Of the
Government.

Under these favoring auspices very gratifying
progress has been made in extending the railroad
track from both directions. Nearly 1000 miles
of the Main Line and c0nvergiug Branches be
tween the Missouri River and the base of the
Rocky Mountains have been built within three
years. The CENTRAL PACIFIC RAILROAD has
also steadny and successfully carried the Main
Stem Line from the steamboat navigation Of the
Pacific TO the summit of the Sierra Nevada, and
into the Great Salt Lake Basin east of the Cali.
fornia line. Having overcome by far the most
difficult and expensive portion of the whole
line the probabilities Of the through connection
with tho Eastern lines being effected in 1870
amount almost TO certainty.

Whitman was opened yesterday at Jusl

contain seven very fine chunks of Pitts
burg coal. The coal will doubtless be
sold to satisfy some Of his numerous
debtors. and the surplus, Of course, will

last. Had 1t not been for the assistance
Whitman received here he would not have
got of so easily. But this coalition
has fallen upon some of the abettors, and

minous suspicion upon any stranger with

Couldn't be Used.

The Paris papers call attention to q
significant occurrence which has just
taken place in the department of the
Gironds. The Mayor of one the COM
munes has resigned, although he had
he'd his post for twelve years, and had
just been decorated by the Government.
The reason be alleges for taking this step
is that the instructions sent to him from
the project for the purpose of insuring
the return of the official candidate were
of such nature that to carry them out
would have been incompatible with his
dignity as a man, citizen and a pub
lie functionary." We want such men in
this country, more of them than we
probably have in politics at least, else we
should not witness so many spectacles of
questionable political action. The South
particularly, under Congressional party
machinery, is suffering in every way from
the facile and utterly INSCRIPTIONS
character of the men who are placed in
office by the Government, and who would
treat the idea of sacrificing official posi-
ton rather than personal dignity as 8
preposterous piece of sentimentality and
romance.

New Memphis Thea ter.


This institution passes into the hands
of the new lessees, Messrs. Spalding 4
Bidwell, about the first of July, and soon
after that they will begin to make extern
sive improvements. The seats will be
take out and replaced by chairs. Private
boxes will be built after the style of the
finest theaters in the country. All the
stage scenery will be put in new, and we
presume that that dramatic drop-curtain,
covered with glazing advertisements,
which gave so many people the sore eyes
last season, will be rolled up and put ia
some place convenient to be stolen by Q
mackerel. When finished, this theater
will be the prettiest and most attractive
in the United States, of its size. 1t will be
heated in winter, and in the summer will
be cooled by a fountain in the center OF
the parquette. The entire building within
and without will be finished in the highest
style Of art, and the season will open in
September, under the most favorable and
brilliant auspices, and during the season
the best talent of the country will be
brought here.

Sheriff Curry arrived this morning, OF
IL o'clock, on q special train from
Brownsville in charge Of Calvin and
Moody, who are sentenced 10 be hung on
the 10th Of August. 1t had been rumored
that an attempt would be made to rescue
the prisoners on the way or their arrival,
but nothing of the sort took place. The
special train left Brownsville at nine
O. clock this morning, under a strong
guard of determined men ready for
any emergency. If any movement
was on foot for rescue il was discon-
certed by the unexpected programme
adopted by the Sheriff. We understand
that when Calvin was asked by the Judge
at Brownsville if he had anything to say,
he replied that I" it would not do id
bit of good if he had" They were both
heavily ironed, and could hardly wsddle
to the Jail from the depot. On their way
there, Calvin was met by his brother,
who kissed him, and for a mo-
ment the prisoner was quite af-
fected. But he soon recovered, and
keeps up in gay spirits. He says he will
be hung and that there is no help for it
now. The negro, Sam Moody, smokes
his pipe with stolid indifference. Another
prisoner, negro named Nokes, was
brought along also. He is to have new
trial. 1t is. rumored that an effort will be
made to have Calvin reprieved. At
present he is chained by one leg to a
massive ring in the county Jail, and is
well guarded by force sufficient to take
care of him. The prospect is that the
law will take its course and be strictly
executed.

A called meeting of the Board Of
Mayor and Aldermen, was held yesterday
afternoon at Is clock, Chairman Swayne,
presiding.
The Secretary read the following:
MExpRIs, June rs. 1863.
To the Honorable Board Of Mayor and Alder
mon Of the city Of Memphis;
Gentlemen An execution for four
thousand eight hundred dollars has been
levied on the stocks of the Memphis and
Little Rock railroad belonging to the
city of Memphis. have made every ef-
fort that could to raise the money to
pay of the execution and release the
stock, and have failed to do anything as
yet to accomplish the object. Since the
decision of the Supreme Court in the
case of Harrington and others have been
against the city of Memphis, there seems
to be no one who is willing to advance
the city the necessary funds on any
terms. If the Finance Committee will
suggest any plan by which the money
can be raised for that purpose they will
please do so Immediately, as the sale Of
the stock will lake place tomorrow.
