BTEAVtaniP COMMUNICATION BE TWEEN AUSTRALIA AND CALIFOR NIA. FrcmthelT. T. Berald. The publio mind of the world is kept on the stretch of excitement and anticipation ly one great project after another to bring all nations into rapid communication with one another. Atlantio telegraph cables, the Suez Canal, the great continental Faoifio Railroad, new steamship lines to different and the most remote parts of the globe, the proponed ship canal across the Isthmus of Central America, the Facifio telegraph cable project to connect China and the East generally with the Ameri can Continent, and many other grand works, show the wonderful progress of the age. Oae of tke latest of these great project is the establishment of steamship com munication between Australia and Califor nia. The steamer Idaho, which arrived at San Francisco from Honolulu, Sandwich Islands, on the 5th of this mouth, brought the mails and passengers that come from Austra lia by the steamer Wongawonga. There were one hundred and forty passengers, nearlyjall of whom were en route to England. This is a new line, and it is intended to either oonneot with the line between the Sandwich Islands and San Franoisoo or to ply direotly from Sydney 'and Auckland to California. The Wongawenga was full of passengers, and the mails from New South Wales and New Zea land were very large. . lae time irom Sydney to San Francisoo was thirty-one days. Much better time than this will soon be made. We believe the passage has been made from Australia ' to England in forty days by this route and by the Faciflo Railroad and Atlantio steamships. This is great progress in the commerce of the Faciflo and in traversing so large a portion of the globe. The Wongawonga was to be followed by the City of Adelaide and the City of Melbourne, two other steamers of the new line. . ' A few years ago, just before the gold dis covery in California, the Faciflo Ocean, ex cept along the American coast, was little traversed by ships of commerce. There were only a few traders to the Sandwich Islands and the islands of the South Pacific, and the wlrale ships that navigated that vast ocean. Now there are steam lines to China and Japan, to the Sandwich Islands, and to the different countries of Australia. What a revo lution within bo short a time ! But we are only on the eve of still greater progress. By the aid of telegraphs and steam power the English speaking people on each side of the vast Facifio will soon develop an extensive commerce between themselves and among the islands and countries in and bordering that ocean. The dense populations of Asia will soon feel this too. Bat oar own country- is destined to obtain the greatest share by far of this commerce. San Fran cisoo will become, probably, second only to New York in commercial importance. We shall draw the surplus population of China -and other countries of Asia to do our labor cheaply, and we shall increase largely our exportation and importations. Indeed,; we can hardly imagine what the next twenty years will develop in the way of trade and intercourse and in the march of civiliza tion in Asia. We have no doubt that a large portion of the travel between England and Australia will come this way. If it be a little farther than by the Indian Ocean, 8uez, and the Mediterranean, it is more direct, with fewer changes, and probably less expensive. The Faciflo is a delightful ocean to navigate, and with steamship and railroad connections all complete we think the passage this way can be made in as short or in snorter time than by the other route.' The one hundred &nd forty passengers in one steamer en route for Europe by San Francisoo and the Faoifio Railroad gives an idea of what may follow. In view of these developments and prospects we aeooinmend Congress and our enterprising merchants to turn . their attention to the trade of the Facifio Ocean. A great future is before us in that part of the world if we will seize the opportunities that are within our reach. , , , BLOODY TALK OF PEACE. From the' If. Y. World. High officials in Washington, it was re ported .recently, confidently believed that there would be no general Indian war. Com missioner Parker and Secretary Belknap 1 J M, . 1 . ? , piaoeu great unpen ui uu ttpproaoiung coiner VAArU while they are not apprehensive of a general massacre, do not perhaps share in their com placency. At all events, there came a simul taneous report, by the way of Chicago, of what our Western friends would call a very satisfactory slaughter of savages in Wyoming Territory; and a pleasing warwhoop is sounded by the dwellers in Iowa for Sheri dan and ' vengeance, the ' Ogallalahs being upon them. ' Incidentally it may be mentioned that the same despatch rounds ' itself up by chronioling the murder of Mr. David P. Dudley, eight miles from Kit Carson City. Whether Commis sioner Parker and Secretary Belknap had prior information of these amiable incidents upon which they based their official assur ances, or whether they only made them oat of their -superior knowledge f the propensity of the Indian and the white man to exchange blankets and eternal friendship, cannot of course be definitely known. In either case the conclusion is a most pusillanimous one, at variance with the eiokening fact that we have had a very general Indian war in the West for the last twenty years, and are likely to have until, in ' the interminable course of squaw slaughter, the sources of Indian life and Indian troubles are extirpated. With the affrighted citizens of Iowa calling for Sheridan, and that ruthless agent of civili zation marshalling his Christian troopers in the cause of retribution, it does not appear to the sensitive mind east of the Mississippi that a big palaver with Red Cloud and the usual interchange of bronze medals and red tape at Washington will do much to arrest the acrimonious war of races whioh has been raging over half the continent, to our dis grace, ever since we set ourselves up as a Christian nation. The truth is that there has been at no tims within a year any danger of an Indian war other than that which has not been inter mitted for a decade, and which is merely the strife of an antagonism born of ignorance and injury in one party and antipathy and selfishness in the other. With the troubles growing out of this anomalous condition of a new country the Government of the United States has dealt in a Dettv. vacillatinsr. and often cruel spirit that would have disgraced a Territorial sheriff. It has been consistent only in its extermination, which it tian nnver dared to acknowledge. It has undertaken to picket the great desert with soldiers, and set It constabulary who are a law unto them selves over a million square miles of terri tory at an enormous expense, that the Re public may visit its small vengeance upon the few miserable nomads who are scattered there; and all this it does with a vast profli gacy that beggars statistics but accomplishes no end. Those exceptional wine men who have bronght mercy with intelligence to bear upon this subject of ' our Indian wards have more than once pointed out that a safe, economi cal, and lenient remedy for all this expense and brutality lay in gathering the entire family of red men, now broken into predatory bands that skulk, impoverished and embittered, like the praine wolves on the traok of the emi grant, into one geographical foens, where, under strict military surveillance, the softer influences of humanity or at least of civil ized justice might have a fair chance of trial. One-half the money and strength whioh the country is expending on this unending and fruitless hunt of human beings would suffice to sweep all the red men in America together into one ample reservation under the eve of authority. And whatever difficul ties beset the undertaking, they are trivial indeed by the side of those which will forever rise in the path of an administration bent only on exacting an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth from a pitiable and broken race, and that only for the enrichment of an army of speculators and the gratification of border men, who seem to have learnt nothing from the savage but his cruelty. OUGHT McFARLAND TO HAVE BEEN SENT TO A LUNATIC ASYLUM? From the N. Y. Timet. The Evening Pot and the Citizen answer this question in the affirmative, and are dis posed to censure the Reoorder for letting the prisoner loose upon sooiety. Witn every respect for the authority of the Citizen on a question of law, we' think there can be little doubt that in this instance it has mistaken the grounds on which the aoonsed was re leased. ' The statute providing for the confinement of a prisoner oh the ground of insanity can only be put in force when the verdict of the jury distinctly authorizes it. In the case of McFarland there was no such verdict. The jury Bimply found him "not guilty," saying nothing whatever about insanity whioh was equivalent to a declaration of their opinion that the prisoner was justified in taking Rich ardson's life. As to the morality of such a verdict, we have nothing to say at this mo ment. ' We must simply regard it as a fact, with which alone the Recorder could deal. lie had no power to order the detention of the prisoner after the jury returned a verdict of "not guilty. The law in England with reference to crimi nals in whose behalf the plea of insanity is set up and maintained is different from our own. The theory of the English law is that if the individual had not a sense of right and wrong, of good and evil, he could not be re garded as sane; but in practice this is de parted from ;very widely. Froot is always demanded that insanity existed at the time the criminal act was committed. The modern practice is thus defined: "Where the general conduct of the prisoner has been such as to indicate unsoundness of mind, even though considerable contrivance has aocompanied the act, or where there is evidence of his having been the subject of an irresistible impulse to kill, the jury generally find a verdict of ao- quittal, in opposition to the older authorities, who connned the exemption irom responsi bility within very narrow limits." But when a prisoner is aoquitted on the ground of insanity in England, he . by no means escapes scot free. The Judge orders him to be "confined during Her Majesty's pleasure" that is, daring the term of his natural life. The prisoner is sent to a luna tic asylum to spend the remainder of his days. , Thus it happened in the case of Ox ford, who shot at the uueen many years age, and also in that of a woman who had nursed the Prince of Wales, and who murdered all her children at Esher. There can be very little question that this is the proper method of dealing with criminal lunatics. Our statute for shutting up a prisoner aoquitted on the ground of insanity works simply during the pleasure of- the medical men oi tne asylum, who may, as they sometimes. do, refuse to re ceive him, alleging that . he is not insane, although the jury have declared by their ver dict that he is. When Oxford was sent to Bedlam, several of the doctors are said to have been of opinion that he was no more in sane than any one of themselves. But he was shut up there just the same, and the doc tors had. of course, no power to in ten ere. The great point, however, in the McFar land case is that the jury did not consider the question of insanity in rendering their ver dict. ' Tbev simnlv found the prisoner not guilty.1 The Recorder did his duty in dis charging Mci arland, and, indeed, ne oouia have done nothing else under tne circum stances. - . " ' LAY DELEGATION IN THE METHODIST CHURCH. ' From tU X. Y. Tribune. The ' lone; and animated contest in the Methodist Episcopal Church on the introduc tion oi lay delegation into tne yuaarennial General Conference was finally deoided by the vote, on Saturday last, of the East Maine An nual Conference, lhe vote or this body, the last in the United States before which the subject bad to be brought, swells the number of ministers voting aye to the requisite three- fourthp: 4'JUU ministers have now voted for and 1034 against the proposed change. The Mission Conference in Germany, wbfoh has 45 members, remains to be heard from; but as its total vote, even if solidly oast against lavMelecation. would still cive to the oppo nents of the measure one vote less than one- fourth of the whole vote cast, lay delegation may now be proclaimed as having been car ried, and ss being henceforth an integral part of the economy of the Methodist , Epis copal Church. The struggle, which now belongs to the past, has been in some respeots one of gene ral interest. It is a remarkable instance of how the large Protestant denominations ac commodate themselves to the tendencies of the aae and the sentimonts of the people. Methodism has grown strong in this oountry, not only without reoognizing in its chorea in ,i ri- - t . : ooubiituuon me principle oi ij umegauuu, but in a spirit of dooided opposition to it; and it was one of the most effective arguments of the opponents of change that a system under whioh Eplsoopal Methodism had within a brief period become the most numerous of the Protestant deno minations ia the oountry should not be abandoned for one whose effioaov had vet to be tested. About forty years sinoe the Church consented to the withdrawal of a larare bodr of members, who have since become known as the Methodist FrotesUut Charon, rather tban admit the laity to the oouncils of the denomination. Some years ap-o a vote was taken of both ministry and laity on the sub ject, when it wa found that a deoided ma- jonty oi botn were opposed to iay delegation. The turning of the tide began in 18C0. when the friends of the reform, undaunted by former defeats, began to call in the aid of the press) and established the Methodist as the organ of the movement in this city. Their struggle nas been a nam one, but it is now over. Ia ten years they have revolutionize i the Methodist system of church government. The presence of prominent laymen at the next General Conference cannot fail to add largely to the interest whioh the reading public always take in church assemblies repre senting so large a portion of the people. The Methodist Church counts so many members in the highest offices of the Government and the front ranks of sooiety, that a long array of well-known names may be expected In the roll of the next conference. . I CONSTITUTIONAL CHRISTIANITY. From the If. Y. Tribune. The citizens of Randolph oounty, 111., to the number of one thousand, petitioned the Constitutional Convention "in favor of the recognition of Almighty God and the Chris tian religion in the Constitution of the State;" but the gentleman who presented the petition declared that he did not agree with the peti tioners. Now, a man may well have the highest reverence for the Deity, and the most abiding faith in the distinctive doctrines of Christianity, and yet he may mint it neither proper nor to be desired that, upon a purely political document, there should be ingrafted a declaration of religious belief. There would be no little indignation, and it would be just, if any Legislature should declare the exist ence of a God and the truth of Christianity by statute; indeed, there are those who would feel that there would be in such legislation a savor of profanity; and yet we are unable to see that there would be any difference be tween such a statute and a declaration of faith in the fundamental secular law of the State. There are, we know, State constitu tions containing such declarations; but in almost every case the fact is unknown to the Eeople, and does not exercise the smallest lfluence over their belief or their disbelief. The truth is, that such . political affirma tions of religious faith are not creditable to Christianity, since they imply that it is weak enough to need documentary evidence of this kind; whereas, every church, every prayer, every gathering together on the Lord s Day, is a better affirmation of Christian truth than any formal assertion put like a purple patch into a State Constitution. Unquestionably, Christianity is, and in some form will remain, the religion of the land, as it is destined to be the religion of the world. Its influence will be felt, as it should be, in legislation; but we cannot ignore the fact that Governments are not established specially for its support and propagation; and that mstory is full of warn ing against any union of Church and State. If Christianity needed these quasi political declarations, they might have our hearty ap proval. As it is, out of respect for Ghristi amty, we do not think that they are generally desirable. ,. EMIGRATION ALARM IN GERMANY. From the if. Y. Bun. The total number of emigrants who arrived at this port from Europe daring last week was 9017. J ' ' Unless a white man is not equal to a negro, the value of this importation of brains, bone, and muscle, computed on the worth of a i Southern slave before the war, increases the positive wealth of this oountry by the enormous amount or over nine mil lions of dollars within a week. Of this mass of 9017 souls, no less than 2452 came from North Germany. , This fact alone is sufficient to account for the discredit lately attempted to be thrown, nominally by the managers of the Stock Exchanges of Frankfort and Hamburg, ' but really by the German Government, on oertain American securities. ' ". ' ' That the rulers of Europe, who estimate men and women of the working classes sim ply as ' producing and consuming machines, should be appauea oy tne remarnaoie extent of the exodus from their dominions is natu ral. But both labor and capital must find the 4est market in a free oountry. Ame rican stocks and bonds, based on good secu rities, are being rapidly absorbed in all the money markets of , Europe, simply in aooord- anoe with the immutable law that six per cent, will attract more capital than three; and no legislation can be ' ultimately effectual in retaining labor in a country where poverty is the rule. We understand that so alarmed has the German Government lately becoma at the possibility of having the rates of labor ma terially increased by this rapid diminution of the supply, that a bill will shortly be pre sented to the Chambers whose object is the restriction of emigration by the imposition of a heavy tax on every subject leaving the country. . , . i . i , i . .

' Thousands of certificates of absolute cure (when all else failed to afford relief), as well as recommendatory letters without number, i . have been received by Dr. Wishart, the pro prietor, attesting the uniform success with which they have been employed. Many of said letters are from the highest sources, in cluding eminent statesmen, Governors, State judges, clergymen, etc. men slow to be con vinced, prejudiced perhaps at first, but feel og themselves under a sense of duty bound to tell the Doctor what they had done for them and to recommend them to others.
