A Southern Railroad to the
Pacific.

We shall be disappointed, says the
Richmond (Va.) Dispatch, if the Pa
citic States and the States this side of
the Rocky Mountains do not unite soon
in such demand for a Southern rail
road from the Mississippi river to
California as will make itself heard.
The experience of this winter must
have convinced the people Of both
these grand divisions of the country
that the present road is not such a
one as we need. 1t has been blocked
up by snow for weeks at a time. I'm
portant letters, orders for money, or
ders for goods, passengers from the
Eastern continent, Government Off
cials, and we know not who and what
else, have been showed in among the
barren hills and valleys that make up
the immense territory lying between
Omaha and the western boundry OF
California. The loss to the business
men of the Northern States, particu-
larly those of New York, Chicago, and
ST. Louis, must have been immense.
We have felt some pride in the Pa
cific Railroad as a magnificent evi-
dence of the enterprising spirit of oul
people. 1t is unquestionbly q grand
work. But we have not been insensi'
BILE to the fact that it was built upon
| the least favored line of the three Ol
four which had been surveyed, o.
were known to Congress, when III
construction was ordered. From al
accounts, the route from Minnesota to
Puget's Sound is less liable to obstruc
ton by snow. Congress seems t.
have chosen route that cannot b'
riyaled for disadvantages. Let thi'
be as it may, there is no doubt tina
the route through Texas is the on,
upon which the FIRST road should hav'
been constructed. It's trains will no
be stopped single day in the year b!
snow. Its grades will be SO good tina
the cost of its construction will b.
much less than was that OF the roa'

New Railway Connection.
(From the N. o. Republican,

The new railway connection estab-
lished by the Mobile, New Orleans
and Texas railroad with the gulf and
Atlantic coasts is an appreciable de-
velopment in the interests of COM
merce. 1t has been long felt as COM
mercial desideratum, and it is surpris-
ing that we could so long have done
without it. The great drawback to
New Orleans has been the want of
railway connections. Heretofore the
people, and particularly our business
men, have been accustomed to rely on
the great natural channel of trade to
supply all the requirements of COM
merce. In consequence New Orleans
has languished instead of improving.
Other cities, with almost equal natu-
raj advantages, have not rested con-
tented until almost half the continent
has been made subservient to their in
terests. St. Louis, for instance, has
pushed her enterprise until the trade
of the East, the West and the Indies
even, help to swell the enormous rev.
enues Of her merchants. Slih slnsat-
isfied, she is making every possible
cxertion to secure that of the South.
| Already the greater portion of North
ern Arkansas is made tributary to her
trade, while New Orleans has found in
her dangerous rival for the rich trade
| of Western and Northwestern Texas.
It is possible that the new lines thus
opened will act as restraint upon
the success of our rivals, while it will
stimulate an enterprise to accomplish
more than has yet been achieved.
What we most want is the grain trade
of the West. With the improved ia
cilities for transporting grain on the
Mississippi-the iron barge line-and
an increased trade with foreign ports,
and all-rail lines from this city to
Charleston, Savannah and Norfolk
there is nothing to prevent our secur-
| ing the only element of commerce
necessary to make our city wealthy
and prosperous.
But this is only step in the right
direction. Much more is needed
| New railway lines are essential tC
make New Orleans the great distribu.
ting point for the trade Of the Carroll
mas, Florida and Texas. Indeed, al
the South Atlantic States should re.
ceive their trade through our gates
The only thing that can prevent it il
our own lack of enterprise, the wan
of zeal and liberality among our mer
chants. 1t is more important to then
than any political combinations, o.
the triumphs of any party.
It is to be hoped that the matte
will at once be taken in hand, ant
such encouragement given to railwa.
enterprise as will speedily place New
. Orleans where of right she should be
among the foremost commercial cite
of the continent.

Death of MaZzini.
From the Houston tTe1as) Union.l

From the Houston tie1as) Unlon1
Joseph Mazzini, the Apostle of Ital-
ian Republicanism, and the most un-
selfish and noble-hearted patriot of
modern times, died a few days since
at Pisa, in Italy, aged 64 years. Like
Columbus, he was born in Genoa. He
was educated in the law, but soon be-
came a journalist, and devoted his life
to politics, in the interest ofpatriotlsm,
so far as his own country was con-
cerned, and in the interest of liberty,
so far as mankind was concerned. He
labored for the overthrow of the Aus
trian despotism in Italy, of both the
temporal and spiritual power OF the
Pope, and for the establishment of all
Italy in one consolidated Republic,
with Rome as it's Capital. And yet,
unlike the greater number of those
who revolted against Romanisn, he
remained devoted to God and Chris
tianity. Devoted to the liberation
and unity of Italy, he was never
theless dissatisfied with the present
Italian monarchy, and, indeed, with
all monarchy. He was the associate
of Garibaldi, Kossuth, Victor Hugo,
Ledru Rollin, and many other noted
friends of liberty, of different ceun-
tries; but while many of these accom-
modated themselves to circumstances,
he faithfully and uncompromisingly
preached the ideal of true freedom to
the end of his days. Frequently elee-
ted to the Italian Parliament, he re-
fused to take his seat, on account OF
his principles, and lived poor, wan
derer and an exile. He was good
and great man, but, as is always the
case whenever the highest genius and
the highest patriotism are combined
| in the same man, he was ahead OF his
age, and is therefore considered by
merely practical men as failure. The
strength of his convictions, and the
devotion of his whole life to one object
combined with a consciousness OF hli
mental and moral superiority, made
him autocratic in his conduct of hi
cause.

One of those provoking accidents
which ignorance SO often visits upon
science recently befell Prof. Agassiz,
who is engaged in series of subma-
rine explorations With the Hassler ex-
pedition. The Professor, it seems,
has a negro servant, who is not quite
UP to the scientific mysteries of icthy-
ology, but who has a profound and ac-
curate knowledge Of the fact that
fried fish are good for breakfast.
Agassiz has been dissecting number
of different kinds of fish, and had
made careful preparations of the parts
to show the internal organism of new
and interesting species. These he
placed in alcohol for preservation, and
gave them to his colored man for safe
Keeping. On the following morning
he desired them for some purposes and
asked tho servant to bring them to
him, which elected the e1asperating
explanation from the innocent Ethio-
plan that he had poured off the alco-
hol, removed the scales, and was al
that moment frying them for break
fast.

FEMALE DELIoAcY.-Above every
other feature that adorns the female
character, delicacy stands foremost
within the province of good taste.
Not the delicacy that is Perpetually
in quest of something to be ashamed
of, which makes merit of q blush,
and simpcrs at the false construction
its own ingenuity has put upon an in
nocent remark this spurious kind OF
delicacy is as far removed from good
taste as from good feeling and good
sense, but the high minded delicaey
which maintains It's pure and undevi-
ating walk alike among women as In
the society of men, which shrinks
from no necessary duty, and can speak
when required with seriousness and
kindness of things at which it would
be ashamed to smile or to blush.

An exchange says: "a local news
paper is a travelling agent taking Its
weekly rounds to the families OF its
customers. No matter whether trade
is brisk or otherwise, no business man
can afford to take down his sign, or
withdraw the pleasing influence OF a
weekly chat with customers through
the newspapers. For business man
to stop advertising would be equal to
saying, " / have stopped business, and
ask no favors of the people"

There is scheme now on foot for
building railroad direct from New
York, by the shortest possible route,
to Western Texas. There it will in
terseet the road to the Pacific that is
destined soon to be constructed, and
which will be patronized by all travel
ers in the winter season. The Chesa-
peake and Ohio road will be on exact
ly the right line also to catch some of
the trade and travel from the new
trans-continenta1 road. The next
Congress will be in the hands of the
South and West, and will provide for
the building of this new road. 1t is a
disgrace to Congress that it should
have allowed its prejudices against
the Southern people to influence it to
pass by the best route and build a
road over the worst. But Nature is
stronger than Congress. She has had
her revenge this winter. The rigors
of a Siberian climate have damaged
the reputation of the present road to
such an extent as that it would take
many snowless winters to restore pub
lie confidence in it. When weread of
train delayed for twenty eight days,
by drifting snow, we understand that
region must be a land of desolation in
the winter season. The Texas route
will be free from all objections grow
ing out of & severe climate. The
sooner a new road is built the better
for the country.
