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 were burned up. Ness-York Market.

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. A Northers Mass's T.stlmoay la -Regard to tbe South—Animas ot tbe klarper Publications, Savannah, Ga., July 4, 1866. Editobs News and Herald :—Dear Sir— I have been attracted by your editorial ol to-day, calling attention to the shameful cut 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: For the past two months, although a New Yorker, .and avowedly loyal, I have traveled from Savannah to Chattahoochee and Ma con, aud;Will be»r witness that jfeypr was man trcated.with more respect ana consider ation than 1 have been.on my journey, and I beg leave to, thank all whom I have met for their great kindness to me, assuring them that as loh^ as life lasts I ‘ shall ever remember them with pride and affection. Reader. 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 pcfrt. 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.

Dcatllsf an Eminent-CliyslclM. Philadelphia, July 6.—Dr. Paul Beck Ooddard, one cf-jhe most eminent physicians of this, span try, died to-day after a brief Ulqere, aged S7 years. 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 hundred and twenty-five mile* are now In running order. .Regular passenger trains, carrying the daily overland mail, commenced running to Columbus an the first of July. At Columbus a daily line of overland stages connect with the railroad. Odd Fellows’ Hall in Stew Orleans Burned. New Orleans, July 6.—The Odd Fellows’ Hsll in thif city was burned last night. Loss $220,500. The bnilding was insured for f96,000. 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 whose sole aim is to visit upon the South the same iniquities, a hundred-fold intensified, under which Ireland suffers ’ How condemn England without still more condemning themselves V Tho Roberts faction were at first t aught w|th the gudgeon bait thrown out to them; but the number of the deluded ones is con stantly diminishing. Tlio iustincts of the Irish are on the side of liberty 1 , and they will not be made the tools of tyrants.—RUUvnond tintjuirer. MlVRKIRD.
