The New Railroad.

The narrow-gauge railroad from Pal

rate. Yesterday we learned from +. q.
Minshull. the attentive and pleasant
agent Of Pritchard's freight line. that by
next Saturday the road will be completed
TO a distance Of twenty miles from Pal
isade. The Eureka stage and freight
line will connect with the railroad nj
this point, thus saving Ave hours in the
stage time and one day by the freight
line. This will be good new to the cit
liens Of Phoebe. who are travelling West
or receiving goods from San Francisco,
In the future merchandise by Pritchard's
freight line will only be thirteen instead
Of fourteen days in transit. Mr.. Minis
hnll informs us hat the greatest activity
prevails in pushing forward the work Of
building the line. II has been graded
seven miles beyond the point the rails
will reach by next Saturday. and the
tracklayers are following fast after the
footsteps Of the grading force. Already

OF the road TO forward it. as well as the
material required for the construction Of
the line. As an example, Mr.. Minshull
tells us. that % car loads Of lime arrived

An Eloquent Tribute.

Following is fhe conclusion Of the
eulogy recently delivered upon the late
Senator Sumner in Boston, by George
W. Curtis, editor Of Harper's Weekiy:e
Living. how Sumner served us, and
dying, at this moment how he serves us
still. In q time when politics seem pc
culiarly mean and selfish and corrupt,
when there ia a general vague apprehen-
sion that the very moral foundations OF
the national characters are loosened,
when good men are painfully anxious to
know whether the heart Of the people is
hardened. Charles Sumner dies; and the
universally and sincerity Of sorrows such
US the death Of no man living among us
could awaken, show how trle, how
sound, how generous, is still u heart
Of the American people. This Is the
dying service Of Charles Sumner, a rev.
elation which inspires every American to
bind his shining example as a frontlet
between the eyes, and never again to
despair Of the higher and more glorious
destiny Of his country. And Of that des-
tiny what a forcshowing was he. In
that beautiful home at the sunny and
leaiy corner Of the national city, where
he lived among books and pictures and
noble friendships and lofty thoughts
| the home TO which he returned at the
close Of each day in the Senate, and to
which the wise and good from every
land naturally came-how the stately
and gracious and all-accomplished man
seemed the very personiication Of that
new union for which he had 80 manfully
striven. and whose coming his dying
eyes beheld-the union Of ever wider
liberty and juster law. the America OF
comprehensive intelligence. and OF moral
power! For that he stands; up to that
his imperishable memory, like the words
Of his living lips, forever lifts us-lifts
us to his own great faith in America and
in man. Suddenly from his strong hand
my father. my father, the chariot OF
Israel and the horsemon thercof!-the
banner falls. BE il ours to grasp II and
carry 1t still forward, still higher! Our
work is not his work: but it can be well
done only in his spirit. And as, in the
heroic legend Of your western valley. the
men Of Hadley. faltering in the fierce
shock Of Indian battle. suddenly saw ut
their head the lofty form Of an unknown
captain, with white hair streaming ON
the wind. by his triumphant mien
strengthening their hearts and leading
them to victory, so, men and OF
Massachusetts, Of America, II in that
national conflict already begun, as vast
and vital Us the struggle Of his life. the
contest which is beyond that Of any
party, or policy, or measure-the con-
test for conscience, intelligence and NOR
atty as the supreme power in our poll
tics and sole salvation Of Amorica-you
shall falter or fall, suddenly your hearts
shall see once more the towering form,
shall hear again the inspiring voice,
shall be exalted with the moral energy
and faith o, Charles Sumner, and the
victories of his immortal example shall
transcend the triumphs Of his life.

u.1.rgre..A co.a.sras,s..

Under thst part Of the city Of
Pittsburg lying in the vicinity of
Herron's Hill. there has originated
q dangerous fire, which, in its SUBJ
terranean course, is fed by q strata
OF the coal which exists so plenti-
fully beneath the soil of that region.
The fire was first communicated to
the coal deposit over three months
ago by some workmen who were
accustomed to make fires against
the banks to warm themselves WI 'e
engaged in digging out a street
but no particular notice has been
taken OF the underground progress
of the flames until quite recently.
Now, however, much alarm pre-
walls, as the burning coal-beds have
come to be little less than raging
volcano, the cracking and roaring
of which can be heard distinctly by
persons living above it. A reser-
voir of water for the city, located
upon the burning hill, has been
quite ruined by the heat, the water
having wasted away either by leak
age Or evaporation. The danger
now most imminent is that the sur
face of the land in the region of the
subterranean fires may cave in, thus
giving a draught to the flames, be-
sides destroying the improved prop
erty which lies upon and all around
the elevation. The work Of at
tempting to extinguish the fire will
be commenced very soon, but wheth-
er it can be checked and damage
arrested from the city is question
of doubt. The histories Of burning
underground coal mines in this
country and Europe prove that, as
rule, their extinguishment cannot
be accomplished in days or weelsE
it takes months and years.
