THE ENGLISH AND FRENCH ELEC
TIONS.
Nothing can afford a greater contrast than
the progress of the recent elections on the
opposite sides of the British channel. In
Eng’and their elections have been cbaracter-
Ued by the usual spirit of outrage and dis
order—in France they have been orderly and
tranquil. Both have resulted in the triumph
ot the Government. A liberty loving people
have marched to the polls as the exercise
of the suffrage had been “ like angels' visits,
few and far between,” while a nation ex
citable and prone to political licentiousness
have shown no sign that betokened the pre
sence of intemperance. The English elec
tions are under the control of a restricted
suffrage. The French elections are con
ducted under the law of universal suffrage.
The first is part of a mixed system, com
pounded of Monarchy, Aristocracy and Dem
ocracy ; the last is part of a Military Des
potism.
Among the curious political phenomena
of our times is the existence of two such
contrasted forms of Government in the
neighborhood of each other. The solution
of the apparent mystery may be sought,
perhaps, in the very fact of this contrariety,
l. e-—that the French from temperament art
submissive to military rule that ensures quiet
at their elections, while their neighbors, the
English, from their more stubborn attach
ment to liberty, are inclined to those occa
sional excesses at their hustings which, with
the greater freedom of their press aud Par
liamentary debates, isoue otthe national ac
companiments of their political system.
THE STATISTICS us e.UMK.
"War and the duorganizatiou of society arc
convertible terms. All history shows that at
the close of every conflict at arms by which
large numbers of idle men are thrown out ol
employment, and “hang loose on the blurt
of society,” crimt jundo in all it» forms.
Civil war i« even c prolific of these results
1"... moraliZutionUmure than
complete, tbe passions are more rampant, tbe
provocatives to crime more operative on
large numbers of idle men. Tbe discipline
of war being removed, betore timu bus been
allowed idle men to be reinstated in tbe
babits of peaceful life, tbe transition is too
sudden and full of peril to social order.
The best remedy for this social distemperu
ture is colonization. Tbe most effectual
preventive against private crime in such cir
cumstances is removal to those countries
which will afford an outlet to the energy
that threatens tbe rupture of society. We
have abundance of fertile territory. The
formation of societies for purposes of coloni
zation would be a patriotic duty. Let our
influential citizens combine to form associa
tions for purposes of etnigrrtion, by which
the impurities engendered by war may be
eliminated, and society,purified by draining
off these impurities and restoring health to
the body-politic.
CANADIAN POLITICS.
The inauguration of the new Canadian
ministry, which took place ou the —tn was
accompanied by an expose of the Hon. John
A. MacDonald, the senior member of the late
Canadian deputation to England in re.atiou
to the contemplated scheme of confedera
tion, and the kind and degree of military de
fence th 2 Canada may expect from Eng
land in case she should require the aid of the
British government. The deputation was
received in the most flattering manner, and
the mission entirely successful. The Hon.
John A. McDonald stated in his report that—

Canada was capable 01 defense, and that what we
wanted was an ettlcient defense, so that we mtato
hold our ownln the event of the country being m
vaded ; but that we did not expert them to defend
every loot of Canada, which was just us Impossible
as to defend every foot of England.
'flic main condition in regard nbexpense was that
what Canada could not pay, England would pay—in
effect that after we had done all we could afford to
do, England would do the rest; and that we should
be thoroughly defended by laud and sea, ou fresh

The great doubt in the minds of the members of
the government ol England was in regard to our
proper defense. The American war and our over

that there is no party of any influence in

The Florida Railroad*.
Contributed by a Floridian. * i
The iDtimate association of the commercial
and social interests of Florida and Georgia,
so happily effected by the recent conneciion
oi the railroad systems of the two Suites, is
an event so frnught with interesting couse
quencep to the communities interested, that
we deem it entitled to something more than
a mere passing notice.
The Peninsula Slate, in the components of
its soil, the character of its productions, the
topography of its surface, and, it may be,
its geological phenomena, is bui an exten
,-i n, physically and otherwise of Soutneru
Georgia. And as the identity of the great
interests of the two sections is now fuiiy
recognised and established in the maune-r
slated, a brief sketch of the roads that
traversed the domain of our sister State may
uot prove uuinleresling.
Not having at command the reports of the
different railroad directories, from which to
collate the most accurate inlormation, we
have, necessarily to rely upon our memory
lor whatever tacts we may be able to embody
in this article.
The uniat important branch of the Florida
system of roads is the one extend
ing from St. Marks, on the Gulf, to Jackson
ville, situated on the St. Johns river, mak
ing a distance of about one hundred aud
seventy-five miles, and passing through the
counties ot Leon, Jefferson, Madison, Suwan
nee, Columbia, New River and Duval. That
section of it, twenty-two miles in length,
connecting Tallahassee with St. Marks, was
constructed bong anterior to the admis
sion of Florida as a State into the Union,
which latter event occurred in the year
1845. The Pensacola and Georgia Road,
running from Tallahassee to Lake City,
ninety-three miles in length, was com
menced In 1854 and completed in 1800. The
Central road from Lake City to Jack
sonville, a distance of sixty miles, was com
menced in 1856 and finished in 1861. The
promptitude and efficiency displayed by the
constructing managers of the enterprises
enumerated, is in the highest degree credita
ble to them.
The sectiftp of the State penetrated by tbe
Central Road, extending from the Suwannee
river to the Atlantic coast, presents a differ
ent face, with a description of soil radically
different, also. Its surface is generally level
and covered with a continuous growth of the
majestic yellow pine, which, wheu converted
into lumber, meets with ready sale in do
mestic and foreign markets. The staple pro
duction is the Sea Island Cotton, which,
owing to the very limited area of country
adapted to its growth, will ever command
the most remunerative price in the markets
of the world. It is likewise adapted to the
growth of corn, sugar cane and all those
numerous classes of vegetables and fruits
that spring from the vine.
The climate is both delightful and healthy,
and such is the uniformity of temperature
that characterizes it through all seasons of
the year, and freedom from malarial influ
ences, that diseases of a virulent type are of
rure occurrence. The rapidly increasing no
toriety of the climatic advantages of East
Florida had attracted to it before the war
thousands of consumptive invalids from the
Northern and Western States, who have
acknowledged in grateful terms the remedial
effects expetienced from that healthful aud
exhilarating atmosphere.
It had been predicted by the opponents of
the system of improvements in the State that
the amount of transportation would be iusuf
ticieLt to defray the current expanses of the
respective roads, but these predictions were
signally falsified, and the expectations of Its
triends and projectors, on this score, more
than realized.
Tbe resemblance, in all respects, of the
country embraced between the Gulf coast
and the Suwannee river, known as Middle
Florida and South-western Georgia, Is sin
gularly perfect, and a description of oue
would be accurately dcscHptive of the topo
graphy and productions of the other. It
possesses all the natural elements of wealth
aud prosperity, and the light and generous
soil is suitable for the production of corn,
cotton, sugar, rice and fruits. Portions of
its climate is more genial than more northerly
latitudes, which isowing to its high eleva
tion above the level of the sea and its prox
imity to the Gulf. Prior to the war it was
settled mostly by wealthy and Intelligent
planters, nearly all of whom made their for
tunes by the cultivation of cotton and raising
of stock.
The Florida and Gulf Rail Road, reaching
from Fcrnaudina, on the Atlantic, to Cedar
Keys, on the Gulf, was completed in the
year 1858, and runs diagonally across
the State through the counties of Nas
sau, New River, Alachua, Marion and Levy.
The topographical features as well as tbe soil
of the country through which It passes are
similar to the region traversed by tbe road
from the Savannah riyer to the Atlantic, aud
the productions are the same, with the nddi
tion of some of the tropical fruits. The
uieuds of this road claim for it much im
portance from the alleged fact that it con
stitutes a link in the shortest chain of steam
communication between New York and New
Orleans. As confirmatory of this, President
rulee announced just at the outbreak of the
"ar, that the Post Office Department had
wntracted for the transmission of the great
Northern and Gulf Mail over this road.-
e contemplated connection of the Sa
vannah and Gulf road with the Tallahassee
and Pensacola road, at a point in West Flor
ida, when effected, will deprive it of this ad
vantage, as was demonstrated in your col
umns a few days since.
. We have been thus particular in present
ingthe railroad advantages and agricultural
resources of Florida, because her interest,
resulting from the connection of the Sa
vannah and Brunswick toads.with the main
road spanning tbe peninsula of Florida, have
become inseparably connected with the in
terests of Georgia. The two Slates now
forming one commercial community, we are
proud to say, are possessed of alLthe ele
ments of greatness, wealth and power. In
[ eluded la their vast are* we fertile plains,
suitable for the production ot everything no
' eel-ary for the acquirement of wealth, com
i f>rt and happiness. They poseeas both tbe
so 11 and labor in abundance to make them
( the great exporting community. The in-
I habitants of both will soon be taught to Ite
comc self supporting, irrespective of. the la
| hot ot the freedmen; and wc feel assured
their recuperative powers will not succumb
| to the temporary ditfinlties of the crisis that
is upon them.

Fartkulari of the Discovery of a Buried City in
Mexico—The Enchanted Region, of Indian
Mythology—Dreadful Piracy and Murder —
The Segroes and Creoles in Havana, Ac.
[Correspondence of the N. Y. World.]
Havana, August 5.
By letters and papers last received from
Mexico, it apiH.ars that the ruins of aa
ancient city have been discovered buried in l
au iinuii-n-e uud almost impenetrable forest [
in the vicinity of “Hco” and the direction of |
“Huaucitiuaugo." The particulars, very j
imperfectly given, I take from the ‘ Dario de
la Marina,' purporting to be extracts front!
Tulancingo dates, July 5.
The authorities of Hu.mchinangn, accom
panied by various neighbors, went to give
judicial possession of a rancho, or farm, to
the last purelkiser, nud during the investiga
tion attention was drawn to the bounds mid
limits of the aucient deed, “limits on the
North and East the city II,” where the party
were in accord, that there was a dense for
est in which none of them had ever entered,
for the leaS'.n that it was closed up by in
finite obstructions. The accumulations are
wild forest growth aud decomposition ot
ages, and, in the progress of the investigation,
it was determined to institute a search of
the forest, which seems to make the North
ern and Eastern liounds. They lorced an
entrance with much labor, and discovered
Vestiges of streets, which were followed uutll
the discovery of two houses of rather singu
lar cousiruction, covered with triangular
vaulted, cr arched, roots, oue of which was
entered, when they discovered an extensive
court, aud in it many stone idols, which
were carried to Huanchinaugo. They found
passages crossing in every direction; but
many of the doors or entrances were stopped
up with stones, tapia, and mud-mortar, so
that when they wished to leave the various
parts which they had separated in the course
of the investigation it was necessary to’fire
pistols and to shout in loud voice, in order
to get together again. Some of the parties
report having found the ruins of stone col
umns, and stone stairs, leadiug to hielijplaces,
which, when struck, gave evidence” ot vaults
below.
The prefect of Mauchinango lias ordered a
more extensive examination with men prop
erly provided with the implements necessary
for the work, and he has also reported to the
emperor the vaiious incidents of the discov
ery. The Indians in the vicinity, who have
concealed their knowledge ot the ruins and
the history, if they have it, say “they ought
not to say anything of them and much less
to penetrate into mysteries of the torest, for
it had been proved that all who had entered
there had become enchanted. Those who had
lost cattle or sheep, in searching for them in
these woods had become lost in the intricate
labyrinth, and had perished.
In La Sociodad, City of Mexico, issue of
22d ot July,-the facts are reported of one of
the most horrid acts ol piiacy and murder on
record in the annuls ol sea-crime, perpetrated
o i board of a Mexican coast-trader bound
trom Mazatlan to Lower California. Fif
teen persons, men, women, and children,
were murdered on the sth and 6th of May,
by three fiends who took passage on the
vessel called t ie Salvavldar for that purpose.
Their names are Francisco Gaudulf, (FrCneh,)
Carlos Mugue, (Italian,) and Alejandro
plunder. The incidents of tlieir crimes upon
women and children may be imagined, not
described. The meu were killed on the sth
while sleeping on deck, mostly ; the women
were reserved for more barbarous treatment.
The two first of tne named murderers have
been captured. The Greek is still at large,
and may get to the isthmus to embark tor
the United States.

FIFTEEN THOUSAND BOLES, ON THE WAV.
[Baris Correspondence of the Loudon Globe, July UO.]
Emigrai ion en masse to North America is
contemplated by tbe fifteen thousund Polish
retugees now dispersed nmong the Swiss
cantons, aud they are in active communica
tion with Washington, through their delegate,
Kownikolski, about the terms on which they
would bej.eceived as agricultural laboreds in
the Status. The Helvetic Diet has already
voted a subsidy to each emigrant of one hun
dred and eight lruucs, and it its expected that
tbe French government will place some ot its
transport ships at their place of destiny.
TitVINO TO STEM TUB CUHRENT.
[Stockholm correspondence ot London Post, July 2?.]
In Norway they continue to deprecate the
extent to which emigration from that country
to America is slid curried on. The departure
of her stulwart sons hour a couutry so thiuly
populated is naturally regarded as a great
calamity; but though this expatriation ot her
people hud been going on for some time, it
was not until 1849, Unit it hud assumed such
proportions as to excite alarm, uud yet since
that time it has been steadily ou the Increase,
having in 1853 reached C.OGO persons, in 18.17
Uie number having risen to 6,800 uud having
in 1861 attained its maximum of 8,850. It
may be satisfactory to Eugli.ihmen to know
that of these at least two-thirds embarked
for Canada, while only oue-thiru went to the
United Suites. tnough there is reason to fear
that many of those who intended to go to the
liriiLh provinces hud their destination alter
wartls changed, and that consequently lnauy
have fallen victims in Hie late wtu.
In Sweeden uo correct returns of those
who have emigrated can be obtained. There
is good leuson to believe that the average
number who have embarked from Stveedish
'for transatlantic port has not annually ex
ceeded fifteen hundred, which when
compared with the number {of those
who ure known to have sailed from
the populous kingdom of Norway, afiords
convincing proof of the greater degree of
coutentmeut which prevails in this than in
that poition of this Uuited Kingdom.
Pari* Fashion* far August.
Arnoug the host of bonnets invented by the
inexhaustible ingenuity of the .Parisian mo
distes, tbe chapeaux empire, for ceremonial
purposes, are the adopted luvoriles. They
are simply ornamented with a swallow, a
colibri, or a bird's wing placed upou corn or
upou a little verdure ; as for gold and steel
ornaments find spangles, they arc uo longer
patronized. Iu tbe way of fancy hats, round
black chapeaux with white or blue feathers,
aud yellow straw with black feathers, are the
most distinguishable.
An agreeable innovation is the general
adoption ot white, blue or green gaze veils
for all descriptions of bonnets. They should
be very long, aud thrown on one side, so as
drape gmcetully, and not be turned over the
bonnet, when desireu to be removed in con
versation, or for greater freedom of respira
tion. Even with fancy hats we have sceu
many ot these graceful veils, a yard long,
worn with much advantage, particularly by
youthful ladies.

Views of General Grant on tkt ibcxlcan
(Question.
The Toronto (C. W.) Globe, of August Ist
says that Gen. Grant, while there, spoke
without reserve to several persons on the
Mexican question. He said that he had
placed oue hundred thousand men on the
Rio Grande as an army of observation, gud
that the French would have to leave Mexico
peaceably if they chose, but forcibly if they
refused. The situation of Mexico he looked
upon a9 one which had been created by the
rebellion, and the rebellion would not be
overcome iiLtU Maxim lan was compelled
to depart and the Mexican people allowed
to organize a government without foreign
interference.
With regard to the relations between the
United States and England, he did not think
the present friendly state would be disturbed,
unless complications ensued fry reason of
England's mixing herself up with Fiance in
tbe Mexican question.
A Washington despatch says the Com
missary-General of Prisoners is busily en

during the late contest. The number of pris
oners held by the Rebels during the war was
very large, as will be shown by Gen. Hoff

ten prisoners of wnr yet In confinement by
the Government, nud It is understood that
they will shortly be released.

Not the slightest apprehension is felt here of
any further national difficulties in Texas, and
the speculations concerning military inter

Great Reduction of the Army—Over
Seven Hundred Thousand Men Discharged
in Three Months. —A Washington despatch
of the 3th inst says:
We have ascertained from official sources
that ou the Ist day of May there were one
million and fifty thousand men enrolled in
the army and on the pay rolls. Since that
date there have been discharged a little over
seven hundred thousand, leaving in round
numbers about three hundred and thirty
thousand still in the army and on the pay
rolls.
Os the number discharged alwut three
hundred tbou-and are now en route and at
their several rendezvous, to be paid off and
mustered out. Tbe funds sufficient to meet
this demand are in the hands of the pay
masters, and are being paid out as fast ns
possible. The others who have been dis
charged, or over four hundred thousand,
have been fully paid off and mustered out.
The rapidity with which this part of the
work is performed may be inferred from tbe
fact that the official figures in the depart
ments at Washington show that there has
been paid off and. mustered out in the last
thirty days over two hundred and sixty thou
sand men. The Secretary of the Treasury
has promptly furnished the lunds necessary
lor this enormous expenditure, and there has
been no delay on that account.
It seems that N. P. Stone, Collector of In
ternal Revenue, who died so suddenly in
Cleveland a few days since, committed sui
cide. It appears that he a defaulter to the
amount of from $90,000 to $140,000.
A gentleman who hag traveled through

20,000 returned soldiers at work in that State
helping to save the harvests. He saw hardly
an idle soldier in the Slate.
