Through Tickets Around the
World.

Says the Chicago Tribune: We learn
that one of the leading Eastern railways
has an arrangement nearly completed to
issue through tickets by rail and steam.
er around the world. It is believed the
whole thing can be completed by the 1st
of February. The tickets are to be good
until used, giving travellers an opportu-
nifty to make excursions in Japan, Chi
ma and the Holy Land, Or wherever tou.
rists may be disposed to leave the main
line Of travel. The arrangements are
row complete, and prices fixed from
New York as far east as Alexandria, in
Egg pt, and west to Yorkohama and
Shanghai. An agent is now on his way
to arrange with the English steamship
lines between China and the head of the
Red Sea and the railway to Alexandria
AS soon as this is done it will be an
nounced in New York by telegraph, and
the tickets will be ready for delivery.
A table of distances, with time between
important points, etc, is to be printed
upon them, and Synopsis Of all inform
alton that will be useful to the traveller.
The whole trip can be made in ninety
days, and the entire cost will be about
seven hundred and fifty dollars in gold.
We are not informed whether this sum
will include stateroom and meals upon
steamers. and berths on Pullman's Pal
ace Car line, from New York to San
Francisco; but we presume it will, for it
is intended 20 combine the highest pos
sible speed and comfort for the traveller.
The scheme is important in its magni-
tude and probable results unpon the COM
merce and the civilization of the world;
but il is now certain that few weeks
at most will see it fully realized. The
cost of an entire trip around the world
will be from a thousand to twelve hun
dred dollars in coin. gs.,' ,f .:t.

"But during all this period there was
between the slaveholding and the non.
slaveholding sections of the country a
contest for mastery. and each succeeded
in the particular line in which it en-.
tered. The South the, slaveholdine
section struggled for the mastery, in
the government Of the country, in the
politics Of the country The ins'itu.
Jtion of slavery gavs wealth and luxury,
opportunities for attention 10 politics
and da&iatters Of government, to a small
class in the South, and these opportu-
mites being ayailed Of by portions of
the people in that section Of the couutry,
they came actually to control the Gov
ernment. On the contrary, the people
of the North sought for mastery in the
development in agriculture, in manu-
featuring and mercantile arts, and in
commerce, and in those pursuits, ac-
quired the mastery. The civilization
Of the North was a. progressive power,
increasing population, augmeuting all
,th4 resources Of this section, which We're
being rapidly developed, while under
slavery the reverse was the general con-
dition. So that it happened when the
struggle came that tile North had pos
session OF all those materials essential to
success, and if the South had been left
without the opportunity of availibg itself
of means Of carrying on the war dsfrauded
from other sources, and had had todepend
upon its own means. then the war could not
have lasted mere than two years, or two
and half years at the most In 1860,
when the men of the South abdicated
their power, such an amount Of proper
tv had not been in the hands OF an aris-
tocracy for centuries. When the men
of the South left their seats in Congress
and abandoned power, they abdicated
such an amount of power as had not
been in the hands of an aristocraey for
several centuries. When the men =. of
the South, Representatives and Ssna.
tors, left their seats in Congress. they
abandoned power, such as was NOT
welded by Cromwell. such as was
not assumed by William Of Orange" !

why the South Failed.

That those who agree with them are
wise men, is the opinion Of some people,
we have either seen or read Of We
nave at least that reason for holding that
Edwin NJ. Stanton was a wise man.
According to Don Platt, he said, nearly
a year before General Lees surrender .:
1.-The rebels have saved US. Instead
of quick, fierce, aggressive war; thew
have acted on the defensive, and nut to
issue the material resources of the two
sections. They are failing, through ex-
haustion, and will now crowd on men
until smother them out"
How true. After the battle of Ma
nassas, the Federal Government had
not an army that would have stood a
moment before ours. The whole North
was open to US. Pennsylvania, New
York, even Massachusetts,. Nothing
stopped US but ignorance of the art Of
war. There were no armies to do it.
The only army Mr. Lincoln had was
about Washington city. There was
not half as much to prevent Beauregard
from marching from Manassas to New
York as four years later stood in Sher-
mans way when he marched from At
lanta to Savannah.
