> For tho Watchman. GREAT RAILROAD SPEED! Three hundred miles per hour. —A pa per was lately read by Judge Meigs, be fore the American Institute Farmer’s Club, at New York, upon the subject of rapid railroad travelling, in which he said. “ I have, with others, admired the progress made in velocity on railroads up to even one hundred miles an hour on staight rails, which has been done in England. But I entertain views of rail road velocity far beyond any yet ventur ed to be expressed. The Emperor of Russia has taken the first great step to wards what I deem the ultimatum of rail road travel. “ Instead of cutting a narrow alley through the country, or going around everything in the way of a straight line —he has cut a broad way five hundred miles, from St. Petersburg to Moscow— he has made it all the way two hundred feet wide, so that the engineer sees eve rything that comes on the road! Such is part of the future ; the rail road from point to point a mathematical line; the rails ten times stronger than any now used the locomotives on wheels of fur greater diameter, say twelve or fif teen feet; the guage of a relative breadth; the signals and times perfectly settled; the road, walled on both sides, during the transit of trains having the gates of the walU all closed. Then, in stead of one hundred miles an hour! we shall more safely travel three kun dredmiles an hour! I will not pretend to say more—one hundied seems fast enough: so did twenty, a few years ago ; and now, on very straight rails or some straight runs, we do travel sixty miles an hour in this State, and in Eng land one hundred miles have been ac complished. ■“ Mathematical precision and time will solve this problem—a passage from New York to San Francisco in ten hours /” The road above will be built in Eu rope. The United States of North America have design to build a Rail road from ihe Atlantic ocean to the Pa cific, across America. This road will be built by the American people, cer tain. From the first English settlement in America, at Jamestown in Virginia, to the present time, the emigrants to this country from the Old World were people of the most enterprising, brave and dar ing character to be found anywhere.— Only such came to America, those other wise remained at home. Before a quarter of a century will pass, that the people of this country will build a Railroad from the Atlantic * ocean to the Pacific ocean, across America, I think can be little doubted. In a short time, there will be completed Raijroads from the Atlantic ocean to Memphis, Tenn, on the Mississippi river, a distance of near seven hundred miles. From that place cross the State of Arkansas, East of Arkansas river and cross that river below Fort Gibson and above the mouth of Canadian river This, in Arkansas, will be near three hundred miles—thence to Santa Fe ! near six hundred miles—thence to St Joaquin river, near eight hundred miles —ihen as the people may think best across from one ocean to the other, will be near twenty-five hundred mile^ — This, I think, will be the mo?t practi cable route found, as it is near the mid dle ground between the North and South. From Arkansas river to the Pacific ocean across, the United States should build this road—east of that will be built by the States interested. Why this should be the route: It is far enough South, perhaps,not to be embarrassed by the freezes of winter that do occur in a more Northern clime; and why this road should be made; it will unite the Ameri can people. Their interest will be uni ted, and man is mostly governed by what he believes to be his interest. Every State in the Union should be » permitted, if they choose, to connect with this road. It will pass through a country wanting in Timber, embank ments can be made, and thousands of iron ore is at hand; which will supply the place of timber. If this Railroad were built, three days, 1 think, would be necesuty to pass from the Atlantic ocean to the Pacific, across North Amer ica. J. M. S. and maltreated by a majority ofjieople; and any man’s sympathy ought lo have been for me rather than for others act ing wrong, tho’ ever so many. But even in charging this “ community as drivellers” did I not make the excep tion in favor of the just I said “ nearly one half on one, and nearly one half on the other.” And after all, is not this truth. The exceptions are chosen men of honest integrity. And the balance of every people under the sun, especially of those around about me, is not over- scrupulous of probity! But what do we hear the Lord, Him self, and Holy prophets and apostles say ? And can I speak better truth than they ? The Bible has it that the heart of man is “ evil continually” and “ most desperately wickedand that “ there is none good, no not oneand few find the way to God. This is certainly language more uni versal and strong than any I can use. Now under such a wing of the cheru bim—what is my fanlt if I accuse-our inconsiderate countrymen of conduct ing to me, in a way that is persecuting, and having generally no principle T If I took them for what I found my own heart—you scarcely would not con clude every preacher is a “scoundrel” for telling men they are vile sinners in danger of perdition—which includes a character of rascals. And I beg lo re mind you that I am in the latitude of a Minister of Morality and Religion, tho’ not in holy order : and in my strictures justify. main in the napkin !. I am to be a public man, and if I fail, the act is at their re sponsibility. After this, I shall take leave of self- vindications, with this point: that if the people were of ray mind and heart, few of the now nearly overwhelming troubles and symptoms of misery that harrass this Confederacy and seem to breed inteiminable disputations, would remain in the land. To see a great people, full of hope and spirits, boast ing their superexcelience, and yet so Iethagic about removing known evils. and so reckless of the counsels of their most sagaciour men—and dissenting about remedies with all the rancour of the ancient Greeks in their sovereign ties—he premonishes the coming loss of what is possessed—and fills the philo sophic patriot republican’s soul with gloomy and appalling forebodings and the intensest regret.
