TIE UNION PACIFIC RAILROAD will be
seen by the new advertisement of the Compa-
nv in another column, that 96O miles of the
Union Pacific Railroad have been completed
and put into active operation For 100 miles
more the track is graded, and the iron on the
ground ready for laying. More than four hun
dred miles have been built in the season of 1868
and with less than 400 miles now intervening
between the rails of the Union Pacific and the
Central Pacific Companies, every indication
gurantees the opening Of the entire line to the
Pacific in the earl summer of 1869 The
earnings for the year ending June 80, were
more than four million dollars, on an average
of 472 miles in operation; and the earnings
for the last five months were So, 1856, $40. These
amounts are so largely in excess of the labili-
ties of the Company on account of interest
upon its own First Mortgage Bonds and the
Government bonds loaned to it as a subsidy,
as to allow of no doubt that all such liabilities
will be promptly met when due The road is
well equipped, and large orders have been Civ
en- for such an increase of rolling stock as will
be necessary when to the local trade is added
the immense through traffic which must follow
the opening of the entire line.


| Each section of twenty miles has been criti-
cally examined by the regular Government in
| spectors appointed for the purpose, and report
ed to the President as possessing all the char
acterlstics OF a first class road. A special COM
mission, appointed by the President in Sep
tember last, made thorough re-examination of
$50 miles, and summed up their conclusions by
saying:


Taken as a whole, the Union Pacific Rail
road has been we'll constructed. The general
route for the line has been well selected, cross
ing the Rocky Mountains at some of the most
favorable passes on the continent The energy
and perseverance with which the work has
been urged forward, and the rapidity with
which it has been executed, are without paral

Words spoken on the heather.

And years have fitted by;
He wends his way to the old church-yard
Where wife and children lie.
His hair is like the driven snow,


His form to age is given;
"Oh now he cries. I'm tired Of life,

And thus it is with all of us,


when youths fair sun is bright;
When all is sunshine, all is day.

But when old age o'crtakes our frames.
And we are bent and gray;
How anxious are we then to go

THE EIGHT HOUR SYSTEM FOR GovERNMKNr
MEoHANros.-By adecisive majority the Senate
yesterday passed the House bill providing
that eight hours shall constitute q days work
for the mechanics and laborers employed by
the government. As il is understood that the
President Is in favor of the movement we sup
pose that he will sign the bill, and that hence
forth all the men employed on mechanical labor
for the government will go to work at eight
o'clock in the morning and cease their labors
at ave In the afternoon. In the meantime q
severe struggle is going on in this city between
the master masons and the journeymen brick

additional subject Of compensation. Both

yield, and as each is said to be well supplied

No Protection FOR AMERICAN FIsHR-
RIEs.-We have statement from Washington
that the Senate Committee on Foreign Affairs
will report adversely to the bill recently passed
by the House authorizing the President to
send war vessel to the Gulf of St. Lawrence
for the purpose of affording protection to
American fisheries. The reasons assigned for
thus ignoring the claims of an important
branch Of our commerce are that the measure
is unnecessary and that it places power in the
hands of the President to involve the country
in war with Great Britain. This last men,
toned reason is undoubtedly the main one
The desire to vest as little power as possible
in Mr.. Johnson-not to mention the taking
away of as much of his constitutional
authority as could be prudently done-is the
whole animus of this coming adverse report; /;
and 80 because the Executive of the republic
is personally and politically obnoxious to q
majority of our Senators he must not be
authorized to adopt measures looking to the
protection and preservation of American
commerce.

ANOTHER OF SECRETARY WELLKs' VEN
TUREs.-A great deal Of putting of the new
war steamer Ammonoosuc is now going On.
We have reports from all quarters ecstaticaily
describing how many revolutions per minute
were made and how fast she travelled, and
any person not acquainted with the facts would
suppose this steamer to be about the best ever
built. The truth is that there is moro romance
than reality in the present stories. Tho An
monoosuc went to sea without her ordnance
and with barely sufficient coal on board to take
her to Boston. At the start she may have
made passably good rate Of speed, but what
she did afterwards could not be ascertsined,
by reason of the loss of '1og chips and much
of the line." We venture the prediction that
this new vessel will prove a. great humbug
as any Of the other extraordinary looking and
working crafts constructed by authority Of the
ancient and venerable Secretary Of the Navy.

THE NEWS FROM MRxIoo.-Our special
correspondence from the city of Mexico, pub

have made Of the SORT of republicanism that
prevails in Mexico. The head of the Juarez
Cabinet held on to power until the Supreme
Court made the issue decisive. The conse-
quence was that crisis took place in the Cab
met, and the excitement ran 90 high al the capi-
tai that q revolution was feared. However,
the adroit ex-Minister Of Foreign Affairs has
90 managed that power remains in his hands.
How long this is to continue depends entirely
on the activity and energy Of the rebel chiefs,
who are even more numerous and active now
than in the most aourishing days of Mexican
anarchy

EASTERN MIL.-0ne great drawback to the development and prosperity of Northern Arizona is the want of mail communication with New Mexico, Colorado and the Atlantic States, ria the 35th parallel route, tke best and shortest mail and railroad route across the continent, and we hope the Department will as soon as possible, place service upon this route. T. is of as much importance to the people of New Mexico and Colorado that mail communication shonld be speedily opened between the three Territories, as it is to our people, and We hope they will give us their aid in securing it. The service upon the 32d parallel route, riq Tucson, has not been per formed with any degree of regularity, but even if it were, it would not meet the de- mands of the people of Northern Arizona, the great bulk of whom live one hundred miles north of that route. The necessities of the country demand the opening up of this route.

SPRINKLISG STREETs.--The month of July,
at the East, was intensely hot. Deaths from
prostration by the heat were numerous all
over the country-in New York City, during
the second week of the month, reaching 500
The mercury ranged in the shade from go to
100. The deaths were SO frequent, that
every cause was closely investigated, to re-
move, if possible, whatever was Injurious to
the public health.


The following opinion upon sprinkling the
streets during the bot weather, We find in a
notice of the Board of Health:


AT meeting of the Board of Health, yes
terday, Dr. Stephen Smith called attention
to the custom of street sprinkling during the
summer months, and remarked that ii was
very injurious TO the public health, because
OF the evaporation which Immediately took
place, u large amount of poisonous organic
matter arose and was widely diffused, and
undoubtedly created various forms of dis
ease. He suggested, as a remedy, that such
action should be taken US would require the
street sprinklers to use suitable disinfectants
in the water once or twice daily, and thus
convert very unsanitary occupation into a
servieeable sanitary measure. This method
has already been adopted in some other cities
with very excellent results. 1t is evident
that street filth is far less injurious when
dry than when moist, during the extreme
heat of the summer months. Sprinkling
furnishes one of the two conditions that are
absolutely necessary before decomposition
can take place, namely, moisture; and as
sprinkling is most frequent on hot days, II is
plain that it can not take place without
causing an amount of decomposition that
would not otherwise occur


The Board approved the suggestion, and
the counsel was directed to prepare an ordi-
nance by which it could be carried into
effect

EP1DEMIcs.-The appearance of smallpox
and scarlet fever in San Francisco, naturally
causes us some solicitude lest any of these
dangerous diseases may be brought by vessels
arriving from there. Thus far, no occasion
has arisen to detain ships outside by reason
of sickness on board, and with the subsid-
ence of the epidemics on the coast, We may
hope that danger from that quarter is fast
passing away. The experience with the
smallpox, when it swept over us some years
ago, has resulted in more universal prepar-
alton to resist its invasion and ravages,
through vaccination, and renewed recourse
to this preventive, whenever the disease
threatens


BY circular addressed to the Pilots by the
Board of Health, we observe that it is en-
Joined upon them to be diligent in reporting
any sickness on board of vessels, so that the
Board may be apprised of the fact, and take
measures, if necessary, for the preservation
of the public health.


Mr.. Doiron several years since appointed
vaccinator for the Island of Oahu, is en-
gagged in attending to this important matter
There is no scarcity of vaccine virus on hand,
so We may hope that our people may be
well prepared against smallpox if 1t should
arrive here.
