THE RAILROADS ACROSS THE
CONTISW-VT.
One of the most striking features which
will be presented in the history of the
period will be the cheap and
current p
quick communication across the Conti
nent to the Pacific coast effected by tbe
rapid construction of railroads west from
tbe Missouri river: We learn from an ex
change that now, and for some time past, the
construction on tbe main line ot road west
from Omaha lias been on an average of a mile
and a quarter a day, some days going a mila
and a half. It is stated that about one hun
dred and twenty-five miles are now laid and
in operation on this line; by October another
one hundred miles will be completed, and
Fort Kearney, or tbe nue-bundredth parallel
will be reached. This is full one-third the
distance from the river to the Rocky Moun
tains, and the most difficult section to build.
The iron rails are already bought sufficient
for one hundred miles behoiul Fort Kearney,
or hnlfjuToss the plains ; and the whole six
hundred miles to the base of the mountains,
or Colorado, is quite attainable, at the pre
sent rate of progress, by the 1st ot January,
186S. t :
The rival and lower line, with direct and
complete railway connections from St. Louis,
is pushed ahead with nearly corresponding
Zealand rapidity. It is said, also, that it
will reach Fort Riley with completed road
during the present summer, which is 1.1Q
miles from the starting point, Kansas City,
on the Missouri river. By recent Congres
sional act, this road has now ceased to be a
branch of the main Pacific Railroad, 13 re
leased from the necessity of turning north
from Fort Riley, at d uniting with the Omaha
line in the Platte Valley, on the 100th paral
lel, and empowered to continue direct across
the plains along its lowerroute, up the Smoky
Hill Valley, aud make Denver City i>s final
objective point. All the great central rail
road interests of tbe country--those of .Vir
ginia, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Kentucky
and the Ohio Valley—are combined to urge
and assist its progress as their natural con
nection west. The two roads are to unite-
near Denver, as it would be folly in the
opinion of those well informed, to now un
dertake to carry’ two roads over the Rocky
Mountains on lines so near to each other as
these.
The California section of the Pacific- road
is to come East as fast aud as far as it can
uc^til it meets the prjecting line of tbe great
enterprise from this side. In other words
the reward of possession and Government
bounty goes along fairly with tbe zeal aud
progress ot tbe Companies working out
from each end. Tbe Government has been
exceedingly generous in its contributions to
these great enterprises.
The account is that on fire Pacific side
the summer will find some 12,000 Chinese
working their way over the Sierras and
sweeping down into the Nevada Valleys,
and that it is no impossible task to complete
the work and have the rail cars running
.from ocean to ocean within five years.
tion, the educational amendment was de
feated.
An effort was afterwards made .to piake
the test for suffrage iff the District' the affinity
to read and write, or the fact of having
served in the Union army. This ameudmeut
was proposed by Mr. Willey, of West Vir
ginia, and was advocated by him at length.
Some of the Washington correspondents pir-
dict that the educational ameudmeut will
finally be adopted, although opposed by such
influential Radicals ns Sumner and Wilson.
We think differently, however, in view of the
decided vote against it to which we have ul-
luded.
’['he defeat of this measure shows the ani
mus of the dominant party in Congress,
which have,maintained heretofore that iutel-
ligc-uee in the voter is the chief corner stone
of the stability and perpetuity of u republi
can form of government. They now ignore
the question of intelligence- that jJn.vnnn
impose universal negro suffrage upon the
Southern States. If the majority ot the
Northern people are determined to override
the Constitution aud effect a change of the law
regulating suffrage, we hope they will settle
down upon the test proposed by Mr. Morrill:
It is a measure which may, with the lapse of
time, commend itself to the judgment and
convictions of the people both North and
South, for the reason that no other test or
limitation of snffragfe is so easy cf general
application. It is not improbable that many
of the evils that come upon us in the past
have had their origin in their ignorance of
of those who made up the political power of
the country. To correct this evil aud start
in a higher and purer national life, it may be
fitting for the adoption of the principle that
education is one #f the-lirst necessities of a
republic.

[SECOND DISPATCH.]
Portland, Me., July 5.—The details of the great
fire show it terribly disastrous. All the newspaper
and insurance offices, banks and hotels, eight
churches and the convent schools, lawyers’ offices, in
cluding valuable libraries, and nearly every promi
nent business house in the city is burned, as well as
a great number of private dwellings. The estimated
number of houses consumed is two thousand, and the
loss exceeds ten millions of dollars. The churches
not burned are appropriated to the homeless, and
committees are engaged in the endeavor to alleviate
the distress of the sufferers of the city.
The flames are still troublesome in different parts
of the city.
Nearly all the hose bursted, ami several fire engines

GEYEHAL HI TLER AND TIIE COTTON
SPECULATION!.
THE BRITISH PERIODICALS.
One of the most serioaS evils we expe
rienced during the late war was the complete
exclusion by the blockade of foreign litera
lure. The deprivation was perhaps most
severely felt by the large number of the
literati of the Southern States who had been
taking for years the popular class of British
periodicals republished by the well known
publishers, Leonard Scott A Co., New hoik.
Those who have been thus deprived of
their once welcome supply of the best peri
odical literature, will be glad to learn that
Scott <fcCo. have renewed their arrangements
to have the following valuable publications
brought again within their reach, viz: Lon
don Quarterly Review, Edinburgh Review,
Westminster Review, North British Review
and Blackstone’s Magazine, all of which are
now regularly republished in the same style,
and with tue same promptness as heretofore.
These admirable reprints, it is unnecessary
to assure our readers, contain the best ac
credited reports of the progress of European
science and literature. Tbe contents are
varied, and are well adapted to keeping their
regular readers informed of the progress of
the various branches of knowledge ol which
the intelligent mm* delights to inform itself.
The Four Reviews and Blackwood, com
prising the series above described, are re
published by the gentleman named, and
orders addressed to them, at 38 Walker
street, New York, will be promptly attended
to.
Mcitoea of B. B. Rhett, Sk.—The
Charleston Courier Bays “We are pained
to learn that this gentleman was foully as
sassinated on yesterday afternoon, just alter
entering his farm near the race course. So
far as we can learn, it appears that Mr-
Rhett was riding along a causeway, at the
side of which the murderer had concealed
himself, uuder cover of au undergrowth of
bruslvand that after passing a distance of
ten feet he was shot from the rear with a
double-barrelled gun, loaded with duck slid-
Mr. Rhett was shot in the left arm and side,
the ahot apparently penetrating the lung. He
rode but a short distance before falling from
his horse, and died where he had tallen, in
about three quarters of an hour. He gave
no clue to the murderer. Drs. Mitchell and
Geddings, -who were< in the immediate vi
cinity, could discover no trace of him.
Fearful Calamity—The telegraph brings
us the sad intelligence ot (he destruction.!)}'
fire of a large portion of tha beautiful city of
Portland, Maine. While we ate not i Dseng i.
ble to the suffering which must en aue f rom
such a disaster, it is a relief to know that
more fortunate than the women and children
of Columbiu, S. C., the sufferers wiil have
the sympathy of those aronnd them. It is a
singular coincidence that we publish
graphic account of the wanton destruction
of Columbia in tbe same issue which con
tains the telegraphic account of the burning
of Portland.
ft will be recollected that General Butler's
failure to achieve the conquest of Fort
Fisher, at the month of the Cape Fear River,
was regarded as something so shameful by
military men, that Gun. Grant aud Commo
dore Porter wrote to their respective Depart
ments at Washington on the subject, and ex
pressed the conviction that, under a proper
leader, the fort could be taken. A second
expedition was accordingly organized, and,
as Grant and- Porter anticipated, Fort Fisher
fell, and Wilmington lay at the mercy of the
Federal forces. The _fia.no could only be
accounted for at the time by the supposition
of military iocoiripetency.
Later developments, however, of an official
character, would seem to indicate that the
mishap was not the result so much of ineffi
ciency as n corrupt scheme between the re
doubtable General aud other parties to pul
money in their pockets.
Among the documentary evidence trans
mitted by the Navy Department to the Com
mittee on the Conduct of the War, and made
public, is a letter addressed by First Assist
ant Engineer Levi R. Green, U. S. X.,
Senator Anthony, of Rhode Island, which
states, substantially, that a friend of Butler,
named peters, then in New York. 1>“ J three
thousand 1 tales of cotton in Wilmington;
thnt they were g°‘ u K *° K°t it out . But
ler was to work the thing through and have
half the money ; that Butler was to furnish
passes for running the cotton out. Mr. Greene
closes his letter by saying that it erto be used
to inform tbe proper authorities, for he con
sidered it his duty as an officer to make the
matter known. Senator Anthony transmit
ted a copy of the letter to Commander
Parker, of the squadron to which Mr. Green
was attached, who forwarded it to Admiral
Porter, stating briefly from whom he had be-
tained it, and suggesting that Mr. Green’s
narrative "may account for the sudden aban
donment of the attack on Fort Fisher by
Gen. Butler.” Commander Parker’s opinion
of the winter and the importance of his reve
lations is expressed in these words: “I have
full confidence in the trnth and veracity ot
Mr. Green, and think that this mystery
should be unravelled and ventilated" by the
proper authority.’
It appears that Mr. Green’s letter, with the
notes referring to it, were laid before the
Committee on the Conduct of the War, but
that committee, says the Philadelphia Age,
has not called upon Gen. Butler to vindicate
himself from the charge that lias been
brought against him, nor have they sum
moned any witnesses who might be able to
substantiate or refute it, and here the matter
rests, notwithstanding both Admiral Porter
and Commander Parker concurred in the
opinion “that the mystery should be un
ravelled by proper authority.” We leave
the reader to draw his own conclusions in
regard to the guilt or innocence of General
ButleT in the light of his career at New Or
leans and Norfolk.

Editobs News and Herald :—Dear Sir—
I have been attracted by your editorial ol

in tbe last paper of Harper’s Pictorial. My
sense of what is just and right compels me
to assure your readers that this “Pictorial”
like all such publications, is held in the
greatest contempt by all true National men
of the North. This Mr. Harper is now, and
has long been ambitions for political honors,
aud seeks to ride to Congress through such
disreputable means. We, true Northerners,
who love our country before all parlies, will
prove at our next election that it is titne for
such men to retire and give place ;to men—
men whose labor is to preseve not destroy our
unhappy country:

FRU9I WASHINGTON.
Washington, July 4.—The Democratic Senators aud
Congressmen have issued au address in favor of a
Convention at Philadelphia. National Union, they de
clare, should be the watchword of every man, and
ihey denounce the Radicals for persistently re
fusing to admit the Southern States to repre
sentation. They say that laws have been passed
affecting their interests in disregard ol the fundamen
tal principle Qf free government. They urge free
representation from all States and Territories at the
Convention, to work in a spirit of harmony for the
purpose of restoring the Constitutional Union, and for
this purpose only.
The House Committee on Post-offices and Post
roads have agreed to report to the House the Senate’s
bill authorizing any telegraph compauy to construct
their lines upon any mail route, whether railroad,
bridge, or common highway; also, giving them power
to take any cable upon our shores, any law of a State
to the contrary notwithstanding.
From expressions of members of the House since
tbe report of the Rousseau-Grinned t ommittee. it
seems hardly poswble that a vote of two-thirds, ne
cessary for expulsion, can lie obtained. It is believed
that General Rousseau would prefer expulsion to a
public reprimand before the bar of the House. His
friends contend that, if he is expelled, efforts will
made‘to return him as U. S. Senator from Kentucky
this winter.
The report of the Military Board, who wore recently
in session for over two months, has not yet received
the approval of the Secrotary of War or General Grant.
Theremre rumors of its being set aside as unsatisfac
tory, and a new Board boiug convened. It is said that
several members.of the Board rciiisr 1 i*» s*ign the re

Washington, July a.—The National anniversary
Was celebrated in ail the Northern cities with the
usual civic and military display. ’The flag presenta
tion in Philadelphia was highly impressive, many
thousand* being present, lu this city the survivors
of the war of 1812 paid their customary visit to th<
President. The only formal celebration was ron
fined to the negro populate**
WA»niX0To*r. July 5.—The Committee of Conference
on me tax bill recommended fixing the tax on cotton
at three rents per pound, and giving railroads aud gas
companies the right to add to their rates the tax until
the 30th of April. 18C7. They agree to leave the in
come tax unchanged, the exemption oi six hundred
being retained.
It is understood that the Southern representatives
will soon issue an address to the people of the South,
recommending the selection of delegates to the Phila
delphia Convention. They regard it as highly im
portant that the South shall co-operate in that move
ment, especially aa it is understood that the Conven
tion is only for the restoration of tlio South to the
Union, aud not for any party purpose.

FAC
Mrs. Julia G. Tyler, widow ol ex-Presi-
dent Tyler, was left a large estate by her
mother, whodiedsoiuQyearor so ago in New
York. Her- brother contested tho- will, on
the allegation that Mrs. Tyler had employed
“undue influence" to iuduce the testatrix to
make it. The Surrogate C’onrt sustained tbe
allegation and set the will aside. An appeal
was taken by Mrs. Tyler to tbe Supreme
Court of the State, which has just rendered
its decision, in which the Court says:
“Having examined the evidence atten
tively, we have found in it nothing tending
to prove that Mrs. Tyler used any influence
(certoiuly none that was ‘undue’) to procure
the making of the will in question.
“The decree of the Surrogate is reversed,
and the case is remitted, with directions to
admit the case to probate.”
The “So-Called" White Race.—Senator
Sumner will soon, if he does not already,
doubt his own identity.: In one of the bills
which he recently introduced into the
United Slates Seuate, he evidently doubts
the existence of the white race. We quote
a section of tbe bill.
Section. 1 ;. That any Citizen who has been
a slave, or is the descefldant of a slave, or
Who does not belong tp the so called white
race, that may hereafter be unlawfully de
prived of his vote by any person, may main
tain hi:- suit, or suits, and recover damages of
any such person, ih any district court of tbe
United States for the district in which such
person may be fonbll. *
Is the man “<fa/ff^’Does he dispute the
existeheebtiLrrrrAi amefbg men? Is he, him
self, only “called,’ ’ and not a white man, or
of the white lace?
Startling Aniiouucement.
We take tbe following startling paragraph
for Forney's Washington Chronicle of Satur
day :
Forewarned, Forearmed.—If the South
ern people have-not been sufficiently educa
ted and admonished by the failnre of their
attempt to destroy the Government, they will
act upon Andrew Johnson’s suggestions and
belpd him to force another revolution. His
purpose is now clearly developed. It is nei
ther more nor less than the defeat of the
great article for the amendment of tbe Na
tional Constitution, so that the men who be
gan the rebellion and fought it through at a
cost to the whole country of nearly four bil
lions of dollars, and over half a million of
lives, may continue to exercise their former
power in the coming elections. It remains
to be seen whether the people ol the recent
rebellious States are ready to assist in what
must inevitably produce another war. Fore
warned is forearmed.
C'ongrcvslonal Proceeding,!.
Was Hi not ON, «Dily 5.—In the Senate tc.-day the bill
to repeal the act retroceding the county of Alexandria
to Virginia waa diac-ieaed and laid over. Tho same
disposition was made of the bill to pay loyal people in
the Scuta tor supplies furnished the United States
army.
Tha Senate refused to tranafec to the Secretary of
War supervisory and other powers over tbe action of
the Commissioner of Indian Affaire, now exercised by
the Secretary of the Interior, by a vote or 21 to 12.
The Conference repo rt on the army bill wag agreed
to in the Senate.
Nothing df moment in the House, excepting the
tariff bill.
Mr. Spaulding, of Ohio, gave notice that, alter the
tariff bill shall be disposed of, be wuul-.l move to call up
the resolutions reported by tbe Select Committee ou
the Bouseeau-OrinneU case.
Important Derision. ,
Baltimore, July 6.— Judge Chambers granted an
injunction in the case of B. F. Fichiiu, Superintendent
.of the National Express Company, against several Vir
ginia railroads, restraining them from carrying out
special transportation contracts with Adams' Express
and the Southern Express Companies, inclnding all
othera. Tbe decision is considered highly important
aa deciding the rights of railroad and express com
panies. The effect of the decision places tho National
Express Company on the same footing as those pre
viously named.
Celebration or the Fourth nr July at
Tammany Hall.
New Y'ork. July 5.—The celebration of the Fourth
at Tamm say Hall yesterday was largely attended. A
letter ftomthe President was read, in which he says.
“There can be no nobler work than tbat of oblitera.
ting the passions and prejudices which retard recon
ciliation and prevent the reconstruction of the Union.”
In Brooklyn, W. Voltz, a printer, deliberately fired
a loaded musket into a group of children, killing one
and wounding two.
The Pacific Railroad.
Omaha, July 3.—Tbe Government Commissioners
have examined and accepted an additional twenty
miles of the Union Pacific Bailroad to-day. One

overland mail, commenced running to Columbus an
the first of July. At Columbus a daily line of overland
stages connect with the railroad.

New Orleans, July 6.—The Odd Fellows’ Hsll in
thif city was burned last night. Loss $220,500. The

A Pianist in a Duel.—A letter from St.
Petersburg gives an account of a duel fought
between Joseph Brhga, a pianist, and a Rus
sian cavalry officer. The 'latter declared at
a court doheert that the pianist’s attack upon
his sonata was so fierce that, had It been
made with a sabre instead of the fingers, the
instrument would have been backed to
pieces. Tho pianist challenged the officer,
accepting the weapon chosen by the latter,
tbe curved cavalry*' satire, although entirely
ignorant of its usfi. ne made, however, such
a terrific onslaught upon his adversary, that
he actually vpljt his tkull in two.
The Irish Vote.—Tlio ^ame which the natural,
playing for the Irish vote in already seen to be ft fail
ure. Stephens, the head . entre, indignantly put his
foot, in the very beginuing, on the attempt to buy np
his countrymen with deceitful professions of sym
pathy for Ireland. How could men c&re for Irelaud

iniquities, a hundred-fold intensified, under which
Ireland suffers ’ How condemn England without still

MR. PECK, our senior, having been employed for TWENTY YEARS in Philadelphia,
in the leading establishments in that city, and for the last NINE YEARS having hail charge
of Purse’s extensive Bindery in Savannah, feels warranted in making the assertion, which
can at any time be sustained by evidences of workmanship, that he is a
Master of His Profession,
and that the South can at last compete with our Northern friends, and prevent the neces
sity of sending to New York or Philadelphia for orders, that can be equally well executed at
home, saving thus the expenses of importation. Particul tention paid to
BINDING MUSIC BOOKS,

The patronage of the public is respectfully solicited, and satisfaction guaranteed in all
