WENDELLPHILLIPS ON THE PACIF
IC RAILROAD.
All bail afed farewell to the Pacific Rail*,
road. The telegraph tells us that the Ini
dians have begun to tear up the rails, to
shoot passengers and conductors on this
road. We £3. great good in this. At last
the poor victim has found the vulnerable
spot in his tyrant. “Thank God America
has resisted," cried Lord Chatham. Our
feeling is the same. For several years and
«4orS the Indian has begged this great na.
tion to attend to his wrongs. His cries
have been unheard. Ruthless and unheed,
ing we have trampled him down. Toaday
the worm tarns and stings us.
Last year Indians destroyed locomotives
and shot conductors. Timid Durant for
bade the telegraph wires to report the fact.
He trembled Tor his read. To-day 15,639
warriors ua the war path—a thousand
miles of exposed road—this railway the
P®l Faying of the American. Triple !
Would our Vords could reach cFiy Indian
chief. We would tell him, lay down you?
gun, but allow no rail to lie between Oma>
ha and the mountains. The accursed cod j’'
is O Connell's best weapon and shell. The
Pacific I'y.lway ia the Indians Alabama. —
Every ’V.trw Struck oil the rails is heard
round thv Ilaun? that road with
such dangers that none will dare use it.
Some men may think us needlessly ag
gressive. No citizenship, they may say
would be a better remedy. Yes, by-and’
by. At present citizenship means little.
Heaven forbid that we should betray the
Indian to such protection as ‘citizenship’
gives to the Georgia negro and loyalist.—
No, we arc thankful the Indian has one de.
fence that the negzo never had. He is no
citizen and has the right to make war.
Well may he use that last right, and never
yield till “citizenship” means more than it
does now.
An abclitionist may well glory in these
red men. When, in 1C65 General Sanborn
earned to these Seminolea the nows of
emancipation, they instantly set their slave
tree. But, more just than we, ttiey
ceedec ot once to divide their possessions
with them fairly—shared with them their
pension money, and last wiuter, in Wash
ingtoii, were spesially earnest to secure
such a teacher as these emancipated men
would prefer. When two or three years
ago Sherman’s Commission met the Indi
ans, the Navajoes refused to come into con.
ference unless their women could be ad.
mitted on equal terms with themselves to
share the debate. Could these men be per
suaded to undertake, for - jvr.rs to
come, the task of reconstruction 1 What a
saving of time ! What a saving of honor ’.
Earnestly do we wish that this nation
could rise to the level of once doing an act
of justice from pure and simple motives of
honesty and duty. But it does not seem
as if this level would ever be reached in
our uay. in default of that we rejoice to
see tie nation scourged to its duty. Long
and reary were the years of blood and
an yrtune that finally broke us into wil.
our stubbornness yield sooner and easier
in this matter of the Indians. It seems
probable. By the time Congress assem.
bles again, we think its members will be
ready—as they never havo been—to listen
on this topic. The sad and ponderous dec..
uments stored on the Capitol will, at last,
be real, and we shall learn that a nation
by it confession always is the wrong, .must
seek some other path out of its troubles
than 1 y sending butchor3 to waste treas
ure and blood in the vain effort to “exterms
inate” abraver race than ours. We spent
a hundred millions really—fifty oesfessseds
ly—to “exterminate and remove” the Sem
inoles from Florida. But there aro ever,
glades in Florida to-day where no white
man enters, and which the JSeminolo still
holds. If this be the caso in Florida with
a thousand Senunoles, how likely are we
to “esterminate” twenty thousand such,
spread over the boundless West? i?her«
man is bartering thejglcries of Atlanta for
defeat, utter and shameful and well de
served, on th 9 prairiio.

A W ife’s Love.— Woman’s love, like the
rose blossoming in the arid desert, spreads
its rays over the barren blain of the human
heart, and while all round it is black and
desolate, it rises strengthened from the ab
sence o. every other charm. Tu no situa
tion does the love of a woman appear moro
beaf-Yi;.:! than that of a wife. Parents,
brethren aid friends have claims upon the
affections—but the love of a wife is of a
distinct and different nature. A daughter
may yield her life to the preservation of a
parent-a sister may devote herself to a
suffering brother ; but the feelings which
induce it are not those which lead ? wife
to follow the husband of h6r choice through
every pain and peril that can befall him
to watch him in danger, to chesr him in
adversity, and ever remain unalterable at
his side in the depths of ignomiuy and
shame. It is heroic devotion which a wo.
roan displays in adherence to the fortunes
of a hapless husband. When we behold
her in domestic scenes a mere passing crea
ture of SDjoyment, an intellectual toy,
brightening the family with her endear,
incuts and lovo for extremo joy which that
presen:e and those endoarments are oalcns
lated to impart, we can scarcely credit
that tho fragile being who seems to hold
her existence by a thread is caapble of
supporting the extremo of human suffering
—nay, when the heart of man sinks be
neath the weight of agony, that she would
maintain pristiue powers ot delight, and
by her words of comfort and patience, lead
the inurmurer to peace and resignation.

NEW YORK JOURNALISM-YOUTH
AHEAD—OLD MEN SHOVED BACK
—THE PHILOSOPHY OF PROGRESS
AND SUCCESS—JOUXALISTIC CE
LEBRITIES.
The young, vigorous blood which flows
with healthy energy through the veins of
the rising newspaper men of the present
day in this city is telling with admirable
offset in the colame of our city journals.
Spirit and force is given to the productions
which emanate from them, and a wide par.
allel ia dra-.n between them and the fogy
editor* of the past generation. Enterprise,
industry and careful observation supplant
the teachings of experience, and to.day we
have on the New York press a class of
woungmen, bold and dashing in their style,
sound and firm in their argument, and
sparking and witty in their hnmor, who
are too oAsn traduced and disgraced by the
hummers and literary kangaroos who jump
from one situation to another, and who are
taken ?.s representative men.
>V hisky and turky suppers are not the
minent likings of new.paper men, ex.
cept those besotted “beats” who only make
a business of itemizing for the purpose of
gormandizing and satiating an appetite
which honest labor and gentlemanly res
pectability would never satisfy.
Tse responsible men on the press toedav
are in the main gentleman whom it is a
pleasure to know—a gentleman of talent, of
integ ity, and high-toned respectability,
and it ts those we accept as the representas
tives of the rising generation of newspaper
people in New York, rather than the nig
gardly few whose debauches bring igno.
minv upon the whole fraternity.
Glancing uver the field of labor, we ob
serve.seor., of fine fellows working with in
defatigability—gradually cutting their way
through t’ r diversified events of newspaper
life to positions of emolument and fame.
They are youn Mnen, too—some beardless,
but showing a i wer ot the pen well up to
older heads ; other- more advanced, yet
youthful and full ol energy.

journalist, not yet attained his majority.—
The lack of experience which sometimes
