This period Is peculiarly prolific IN en-

connect the waters OF the Atlantic and
Pacific, which VI. LesSeps is pushing with

In the United States the mania for
buildin. new railways or extending old
ones has been revived To an astonishing
extent In the pioneer states and terrific
rieS there is n large amount of active or
prospective construction. The Northern
Pacific is now adding four hundred miles

poses to bridge the vast distance between
Lake Superior and the west coast Of Wash

VIEWFRoM MARYLANDHE1GHTs

A correspondent of the Richmond Dis
patch, in writing of Harpsr's Ferry and its
surroundings, has the following to say of
view from the Mary land Heights:
We gathered up our traps and walked
half mile along the ridge, which brought
us to the real fort. In wide, open field
were the extensive ruins Of stone fortiica-
tions. We climbed TO the highest part of
the wall, and then the real view that we had
heard Of met our gazo. There arc few finer
in the Blue Ridge. Those from the Peaks
of Otter and Humpback are more extensive,
but the rivers add charm to this landscape
thst the others do not possess. The circle
Of the horizon was complete. These sover
eien States spread their beauties before as.
Let as start with oar faces turned up the
ridge. Here We see right sleng the broad
back of the range. Turning slowly 60 the
right. the fair and fertile fields Of Maryland
lie before us, the rich cultivation, carried TO
tho very summit of many hills. speaking OF
wealth and prosperity As we contiaue to
turn VIC see the Potomac winding through
the hills, with che eaoal aad railroad cling,
ing close to its banks. Having pierced the
Blue Ridge at Harper's Ferry.it cuts through
the short hills below, and further on the
Kittoctin Cor Cstocton) hills; while away ON
towards Bsltimere We could see the Sugar
loaf rear it's lofty head. Turning beyond
the river. our eyes rest lovingly on the soil
of old Virginia; and, seen from here, her
country does not safer by comparison with
her sister States. Here We look back for
many miles over the road that We bad trav-
elled, and the retrospect is very satisfying.
As our eyes oross the Blue Ridge, look ing
down, We note that without n tarn Of head
or eye We can sec into all three States.
Turning on, We geo the Shenandoah hugging
the mountains for masy miles, till it disap-
pears in the distant valley. But our circle
is not complete until the eye sweeps over the
counties of Jefferson and Berkeley, up the
Potomac, and again along the ridge. Aswe
look at these beautiful counties we sigh that
they should ever have been torn from Vir-
giuis We look at them closely, too, for
through them lies the road that were to travel
that day, and the prospect is very pleasant.
We could have seen further into the Valley
had the day been clearer, but while the haze
made our view less clear and extensive it
lent an air of dreamy unreality to the scene
that was very charming. While we fingered
We were suddenly developed in clouds, and
thus warned we began to descend.

was ascertained that they were arrested upon
the complaint Of one George ". Graham, q
pretended agent of the U. 8. at Harper's
Ferry, who accused tho prisoners of setting
fire to piece of woodland belonging to the
government. They were tried before u. S.
Commissioner Hon w. Fl. II. Flick. on last
Thursday. Charles Dawes. Esq. appeared
for the prisoners, and Grahsm conducted the
prosecution. 4 number of witnesses we're
examined on the part of the prosecution, bNt
instead Of the evidence connecting the accu
sed with the deed, it completely e1onerated

at once. but Mr.. Davies insistsd upon putting
another witness on the stand who testified
that tho prisoners were ten miles from the
place where the fire occurred, and that the
charge was without foundation. Tho pris.
