and all other things, we dare say, the Shah
will be impressed" if be is capable of any
impression at ALL with the wisdom of his
grand idea of displacing, for transportation
! purposes in his dominions, the camel and the
de.pkey by the iron horse and the railway
train: He will have learned from his
European excursion that for coun-
try like Persia, without navigable rivers,
surrounded by vast chains of noun
tains and sandy wastes, and cut up
and divided into various communities by des-
erts, the railway is just the thing needed for
the development of his resources, the unity
OF his dominions and the prosperity Of his peo-
pie. With even single line Of railway line
from the Persian Gulf to Teheran-the fearful
mortality among the people of Persia by their
late terrible famine could have been arrested.
That a leading object of this European tour of
the Shah is to cast about for the ways and
means to prevent recurrence of this frightful
calamity we cannot doubt; nor can we doubt
that the rapid building Of railways in Persia
will follow the Shah return to his people.
The Deplorable Condition OF Spain.
Our latest advices from Madrid inform us
the outbreak and atrocities at Alcoy have
awakened strong feeling among the citi-
zens generally against the insurgents that
war meetings are being held at various promi-
nent points in the province in which the afore-
said atrocities were committed that at Bar
celona q large and earnest meeting Of the
citizens was held on Saturday evening to offer
moral and material support to the govern
ment in its efforts to suppress the insurgents.
This is from Madrid, and doubtless gives us
the condition of things in Spain under the
best possible colorings. The facts we appre-
bend, are that the Carlists are gaining ground;
that the government for want of the snews of
war and Of active, trusty soldiers, is embar-
raised on every side that the army is moro
or less demoralized in not being properly paid
or provisioned that the ways and means for
transportation of troops and supplies are ma
terially interrupted and broken up; that the
cultivation of the soil, even in the districts
not disturbed by the Carlists, is suspended
to considerable extent in consequence
VI tue BcuSIul NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. VI pu5i-
ness; that the strength OF the government
is among the consumers Of the cities,
while the followers and supporters of the
Carlist standard Of "God, Country and King
are among the producing classes of the
rural districts that among these people, who
know very little of telegraphs, railways or
newspapers, or the general march Of modern
ideas of popular rights, their old notions,
souvenirs and traditions Of Church and Stata
are still very strong, and that the revolution
in Spain ig 6 yet only proclamation and q
not ) fact accomplished. We fear, indeed
that the present insurrectionary disturb
ances are but the advanced sprinklings of an
approaching storm which will cover the
Spanish Peninsula with bloodshed and con-
fusion. And yet we believe that the Republic
will survive, and purified and harmonized,
will in the end be permanently established.
