TIE OCEAN VOYAGE,

Tho New York Evening Post, in discussing the
question Of shortening tho time OF tho passage
to and from Europe, points out the roasona why
tho scheme Of making st. Johns the oaatorn and
northern terminus Of tho railway systom was
abandoned Tho harbor Of st. JohnB, Now
foundland, is 900 1nos furtaor eastward than
any other available point on tho continent, and
tho harbor itsolf Ia o good one, but to reach the
Island of Newfoundland involves tho crossing Of
tho Gulf Of Bt. Lawrouce, q distance Of $50 miles.
That obstac1e therefore, ia fatal to the Now
fonndiand scllcmo, though tho plan Of con-
nocting Newfoundland from Cape Ray
with Cape Breton Island would in-
volvo passage by water Of only 80 miloa.
Falling these, however, thoro is the other plan
Of making Whitohaven, OF Louisburg in Nova
scotia, 200 milos north Of Halifax. the starting
point for European atoamars. Both these placoH
have good harbors. Tho systom Of railroads
would connect all parts Of tho United States and
Canada with these placoB, aud passengers could
proceed by rail to Iouiaburg or Whitohavon, and
| thereby avoid aoyoral days on the ocean. But
VIZ EputIAl dCHGl4e uuG5 uUt btOp MILL dAt4bGA-
ing the route on this silo. It includes system
OF railways through Ireland, terminating at
| Yalentia, on tho southwest coast. This
would reduce tho timo Of passage from
New York to London, which now aycragea
olovon days, to eight days,-the time bcing
| from Now York to Louisburg by rail thirty
seyon hours; from Louisburg to Valontia 14t
hours aud from Valcntia to London, Rixtoon
hours. The timo On tho ocean will be sir daya
or little more than half tho present time. The
| railway system has been alroady extended t.
Halifax, and it will not bo long before tho gen
cral scheme will bo complete. When this Il
dono. Louisburs and valontia will bo tho place
for taking on and discharging passengers, mails
aud such light frcights as arc generally move

DIED WITH MY FACE 10 rmn r0n.

A single shot, followed by loud
shrek, told us that one Of our best
men, Bradley, was wounded. He
proclaimed his agony with a loud
voice, turned over on his back, and
commenced kicking so vigorously
that the surgeon had difficulty in
getting in reach of of him. "Poor
fellow" said the doctor, as he saw q
whitish liquid oozing out, "shot in

and he commenced opening his coat.
"Oh, my Cod = said Bradley, "I'm a

an indignant, angry voice added,

Bradley raised up slowly, folt him

his position, amid the uproarious
laughter Of the regiment.
For months after THAT, ontho march
or in camp, and sometimes in the

"What shall I tell your mother"
and perhaps a half dozen responses
would be heard, "Tell her l died

A great truth is often uttered in lest.
and it is to he regretted that We in our
Territorial vassalage can realize the full
force of the sarcastic Inference of our
contemporary. The Territories are re-
garded as political poor-houses, in which
to place all superanuated party hacks,
or the unprincipled scoundrels, whose
fields of usefulness to the Administra-
ton are impaired by their glaring acts
of villainy. These considerations have
forced the people of several of the
sparsely populated Territories to seek
admission to the Union long before the
requisite population was obtained. The
evil is one from which we can expect no
relief as long as the present party re-
mains in power.

MURDER AT SAN JuAN.--The Victoria
Colonist gives the particulars of hor-
rible murder, committed on San Juan
Island, by some party or parties as yet
unknown. The body of one of the
victims, Capt. Dryer, was found in his
field, where he had evidently been killed
by rife shot. The second victim was
the wife of the murdered man, whose
body was found in the house, riddled
with buckshot. 1t was supposed that
the murders were committed several
days before the finding of the bodies in
the condition described. Capt. Dryer
was a much respected citizen, and had
been married but few months. The
Odd Fellows, the fireman, and other
citizens of Victoria offer a reward Of
$500 for the apprehension of the party
or parties guilty Of the horrible deed.
