By proper rail through Cuba, and a close
connection on the above lines, Panama
might be brought within five days of New
York, instead of eight or nine as at present.
These communications are all feasible. In
1924 the mail time between New Orleans
and Washington was twenty-five days. 1t
is now sixty hours.
Let US see ii this connection is worth
making. The city of Havana has popu-
lation of more than two hundred thousand
Its exports and imports annually compare
in value with those of New York. The
trade with the United States is little short
of Sl00.000,000 annually. There were
nearly two thousand vessels entering the
port of Havana in 1867. There are steam
lines which terminate or touch at Havana
from England. France and Spain. There
are almost daily arrival of steamers from
Boston, New York, Baltimore, Philadelphia
and New Orleans.
With these resources there can be no
doubt but that the travel, treasure and ex-
press business between Havana and the
United States, by way of peninsular
railroad, will be adequate to make that rail
road one of the most valuable in a natural
ard international point of view. We are
thus minute in our exposition of its i'm
portance, because that Peninsular road
having been made by the great Western and
Northern interests which will participate in
its advantages, New Orleans can be put in
more speedy connection than any other
principal city of the United States with
Havana. If we can aid in the construction
of the Peninsular trunk road, the New Or
leans and Mobile railroad, and the local in
terests intermediate between New Orleans
and Florida, will soon complete the connec-
tons. Havana is but another Galveston,
and the same enterprise which will compel
the connection of the ione by a gulf shore
railroad, will secure the other with it's
steamship ferry from Florida to Cuba. In
the first case, we shall have all to do our
selves; in the last, we have the whole United
States to help US.

The response Of the West to the pros
poet Of this road connecting the Ohio with
the Atlantic. has induced the Chesapeake
aud Ohio Directors To putt forth every ef-
fort for the early completion Of the exten.
sion. There are now six thousand men
at work on length Of two hundred miles
ofroad; which, VIC presume, is q specimen
Of activity 10 building unequalsd 10 tho
history Of rAilroad construction in the
United States, aud indicates the eugerness
Of the Managers to avail themselves Of the
advantages awaiting tho completion Of the
road. We learn that iron has been for.
warded to both ends Of tue extension and
that track laying will be begun immeai-
alely. On some parts Of the line, cutting
aud tuuuelliug has to be done, and at
those points progress is limited by The
possibilities Of engineering; but there ap.
pears 10 be no doubt that 10 o few months,
this great trunk connection between the
West and the Atlantic will DO open
through its whole length.
The completion Of this road may DO ex.
pectcd to create q quick development Of
The coal and iron resources Of West Viz

coal deposits Of that section were among
The largest in tho world, being thrice the
tot those Of England; but so long as
there was no railroad to convey the coal
cheaply 10 market, this immense source Of
wealth remained untouched. The same
remark is applicable to the iron deposits.
We are not surprised, therefore, to learn
that practical miners from Pennsylvania
and Maryland are mixing active inquiry
respecting mineral lands on the line Of the
road, in anticipation Of its early compile
ton. Great credit is due to the capital,

ergy with which they arc pressing the

Information has reached the Treasury
Department ola singular will just made in
New York. A gentleman named Derby
Of that city, owns property 10 the amount
Of eleven million dollars, much Of it in
England, and in bis will he has devised the
whole estate coOditionslly to.the United
States. Tho conditions Of this legacy arc
that Congress shall pass an act guarnteeing
perpetual interest on tho amount at three
per cent. This interest is to be paid
quarterly to tho heirs Of Mr.. Derby. The
Immediate heirsat presontarc nephews
nieccs, and one grand niece. The subst-
:aaco ofthis curious proposition is 10 short,

eleven millions to the government, in re-
turn for which the litter shall engage to

aud dollars yearly forever, orpraotically so
