The Union Pacific Railroad has crossed the North Platte river at Fort Steele, more ihnn seven hundred miles west of its eastern terminus at Omaha, and is being poshed for ward to the Green river and the dominions of Brigham Young, at the rale of two or thred miles a day. The gigantic nature o* this great national work and the wonderlul energy 'being exercised in its construction can only be appreciated after a personal inspection of the region of country which it traverses and of the method and rapidity with which the road is extending itself, day after day, toward its western goal. The physical difficulties presented to the engineers of the Pacific railroad have been very great, especially in the mountain region between Cheyenne and' Laramie; but they have been surmounted, with consummate skill, and the ronte through the intricate windings of the Black Hills, the spur of the Rocky Mountains crossed by the road, is a masterpiece of civil engineering. In fol lowing the ronte indicated, it must be remembered that absolutely every thing necessary for the support of the workmen and’ the construction ot tbe road has to be transported for hun dreds of miles across a perfectly uninhabited and almost unknown country, and this fact is essential to a proper understanding of the great cost involved in building this highway to the Pacific. While the ties and other tim bers are cut and hauled by mule teams, often a hundred miles from the line of the road, the rails, spikes, bolts, tools and provisions are sent forward from Omaha, in continued sup plies, not only at enormous expense, but un der all the difficulties attending the working of a long single track, thuß crowded with freight and construction trains. This is a mere suggestion of the character of the uuusuil cost and labor of constructing sii'ch a railroad as that which is now so rapidly Bpanniag our continent The people of this country are largely in terested, at this time, in the solution of seve ral practical questions connected with the great enterprise of the Union Pacific Rail road. They are invited to invest in its secu rities; to buy itß bonds and so to furnish the means needed for its completion, and they de sire to be assure'! upon th> .* i practical points: i'^First —Will the road ever be actually built ? ’ Second— Will it be well built? and Third Will it pay, after it is built ? To these ques tions we propose to reply very briefly, giving the results of a thorough, personal examina tion of the work during a recent journey over the entire completed portion of the line. That the Union Pacific Railroad will be completed, may safely be regarded as a set tled fact. Seven hundred and twenty miles of it are in running order to-day, and the gap between its western terminus and tne eastern terminus of the Central Pacific, is reduced to eight hundred miles. Giving the Union ‘Pacific the largest share of the remaining dis tance that can possibly be assigned to it,there is every prospect that within a year from this time the two great links will have been joined, and the trans-continenta' communi cation completed. Every department of the road is instinct with systematic activity. The splendid machine and repair shops ot the company at Omaha are driven to their ful capacity in stocking the road and keeping it supplied with all its varied equipments. All along the line are seen the tokens of a vigor ous and well-organized prosecution of the work. A hundred miles ahead of the track layers, the vanguard of workmen is carrying forward the grading of the road, and each department of lSbor is pressing all the rest up fo a high point of energy and activity. It is deeply Interesting to watch the actual construction oi this wonderful road. Travel ing hundreds and hundreds of miles across the magnificent prairies of Nebraska and the wilder but not less interesting plains of Wy oming, one reaches at last the ever-moving point where the track is being laid. At the Advanced end of the road lies the boarding train, the residence of the workmen; behind it come the construction trains, loaded with rails and other material. In front is a busy thrcr.g of stout,healthy-looking men, moving 'forwaid. with military precision and rapidity, day after day, laying, gauging, spiking, bolting rail after rail at a rate that seems almost incredible until actually witnessed. The men who actually handle the rails and place them on the track, go forward at a run, laying four rails in x single minute,! Close behind them comes a crowd o( bolters and spikers, and in fifteen minutes from the time a rail is dropped upon the ties the track is ready for the approaching train. N o one can become acquainted with the men who are at the head of this magnificent work, or who bold any of the subordinate positions con nected with it, and no one can witness the actual progress of its construction, and retain a shadow of a doubt that the Union Pacific Railroad will very soon be an accomplished fact. "We thus answer the first question proposed by those who are revolving the subject of in vestment in the Umoi Pacific Railroad. It will certainly be built through to California, and At an early dat.. The remaining proposi tions we will discusß in a subsequent article. J91781C AND THE IJKAtfIA IS 3’lllLi. DELPHI A. opon onr first page to-day we present as foil an account as it is possible to obtain of the arrangements that have been made by -jßzn&gew, irnpreesarii pnd .others, for the amusement of our people during the proachiDg fall and winter season. It is a mat ter for congratulation that the'effort in every quarter seems to be made in the direction of high art Mrs. Drew has organized one ■of the very best companies that we have had in ’ this city for many years, and it is to be hoped . that the public will give her liberal and hearty support in her promised attempt to present comedy of the purest and best descrip tion in faultless style. The Walnut offers a succession of stars, which cannot fail to prove attractive to play-goers. Some ef them have attained the highest rank in their profession, and it is reasonable to expect that wo will be treated to unexceptionable performances. We are to have three or four, and perhapß a greater number of operatic seasons at the . Academy, all of them under the administra' tion of accomplished managers, who make davish promises, ’ which we believe will bsT fulfilled. Many of the artists attached to their troupes are strangers, but several of those already announced come here with es tablished reputations, which even critical Philadelphia audiences will be likely to con firm. The lesser attractions in the musical line aie numerous, but in the case of our home artists, at least, we are sure, will find favor with the people and will win substan tial success. Upon the whole, the prospect in the world of amusenfhnt is pleasing, and is well worthy of a ci'y in which there is such generous art culture, such refinement and taste as this. It is simple truth to assert that nowhere else in the United States can so constant a succession of audiences of the best class be obtained either for opera, theatre or concert room as here. The evidence of the existence of the Jtemand fojr theJiigheßt_gradeL of artrjn this city, is to be found in the liberal support that was extended to the artists during last year. It is admitted that every opera company in New Yoik, with a single exception, lost money during the season; while it is equally certain that .they were all abundantly suc cessful hsr% The declarations of the impressarit themselves support this as sertion, and further proof of the inability of New York to sustain Italian opera can be found in the fact that the managers, at the present moment, are afraid to engage Mr. Mapleson and his troupe to appear in that city unless wealthy men there will guarantee them from loss. If the London manager comes here with Miss Kellogg and a good company, we will crowd the Academy every night Ristori played to very small au diences last winter in New York, but while here she attracted good houses generally. It was here that English opera was first appre ciated thoroughly, and here it received that support and that impetus which made it a a established and progressive institution. In addition to these,—to our theatres, and to the liberal encouragement given to the artists who appeared in our various balls in quick succession—we had no less than four or five series of concerts and musical soirees extending through the whole season, and at nearly all these strictly classical music waß produced, and found masterly interpretation. In this city also, a single performance given in behalf of the American Dramatic Fund produced one hundred per cent, more money than the aggregate amount contributed by benefits given at all the leading New York theatres. No other city upon this continent can make a more satisfactory and praiseworthy exhibit j than this, and we have every reason to believe ! that the coming season wifi be even more | brilliant in its results, both to the artistd and i the public. IHE CENTRAL HIUH SCHOOL. Th" School moves. We observe with satisfaction that the changes introduced into the course of study during the fifty-eighth and fifty-ninth terms are generally so practical and adapted to the The re-adoption of Civil Engineering,—a study which, though •jioStjnully on the list, had practically long been dropped-—was most appropriate and ne oessary. Although the scope of instruction forbids a very full development of this scienee at the School, yet the star'/given to the pupil will always, in connection with the course of Mathematics and Mechanical Drawing, enable him to pursue it afterwards with, maiked economy of lime and money. The resuscitation of this study, although presented as an experiment in the report of the Principal, is an experiment for the puccess of which we have no fears whatever. We are especially interested in it, not so much because we think any great proportion of the youths who study the science need ever become practical en gineers; but it seems to us of vast importance to elevate the tone of general criticism, and make it more exacting on the subject of public roadmaking, bridging, Ac. It is from the supreme ignorance and indifference of the public at large that the bad work and surveying on our great national ave nues are permitted ; and from this contempt of a vital subject the quality of our public works has declined until it is a byword among nations ; and the badly projected road, the sinking bridge, the ill-measured grade, and even the rotten bar of railway iron accuse the public stupor just as much as they accuse the blindly-trusted and empiri cal engineer. Another judicious change is the early in troduction to the minds of the pupils of the philosophy of geography, under the name of Physical Geography. This noble science, in its direct connection with Geology and the History of Nature, is one of the grandest in fluences upon the mind of youth. Though perhaps less directly practical and utilitarian than the mass of study pursued at the School, it is so elevating, and so strictly connected with natural religion, that we believe the pupils will retain its influence longest on their minds, and to their latest days feel grateful to their alma mater for having guided them to a field so full of increase. The literary department is less satisfactory. There is as yet no chair of English belles lettres, and we believe the study of the clas sics is confined to a very radical and illiberal drumming over of Latin syntaxes. Greek is not studied, a Bingle modern language taking its place. French has been withdrawn to make room for the Geographical and Mathe matical expansion, and German alone of the livine tongues receives attention. This we believe to be a mistake. The common lan- THE DAILY EVENING BULLETINr-PHILADELPHIA,. Fill DAY, JULY 31.1868 guage of tbe cultivated world, ot the world of science, of the world of intelligence, is the French. ConsiderationsJiased upon the’pro portion of Prussian refugees or Hanoverian exiles who come to settle among us, should not affect a question that belongs to civiliza tion and enlightenment. We hope this lan guage question, which appears to have been settled early in the year, end wiUyßomo haste, will come up for revision before the High School Committee. An effete system of grade among the pupils has been sensibly abandoned. The old method of averaging a scholar’s mental force and moral self-control, and seating him among his fellows. in a rank compounded of hie ability in calculus and his ability to keep from shooting paper balls at his comrades, was illogical, and has yielded to common sense. The great object of a school is to 'heake scholars out of wild but capable lads. At any rate, between characteristics so dis similar as scholarship and deportment, no common gauge can be discovered. The general picture of the year’s work is a favorable one. Changes, honestly thought to be improvements, and generally to be ad mitted as such, have been introduced without confusing the progress of individual scholars. The tone of intercourse between pupils and professors has become familiar, confidential and engaging. Serious disorders are un known. And an institution of lofty benevo lence, maintained by our city at considerable expense, yet with real economy, appeals to be in the way of realizing the greatest amount of good from the levy made upon our pockets. A State Convention of more than ordinary importance is in session at Harrisburg, the remarkable feature of which is that-Phil adel phia is not and cannot be represented. It is a convention of the Superintendents of Com mon Schools of the different counties in the State. Philadelphia has no superintendent, and no officer of corresponding grade and re sponsibility; consequently Philadelphia is unrepresented at the convention at Harris burg. The Board of Controllers have recom mended the creation of the office o* Superintendent of Common Schools in Philadelphia, and the fact that a convention like that at Harrisburg can assemble, without a representative from Philadelphia, shows the necessity of the office. At least one-fifth of the populatfon of the State, including the greatest amount of wealth and average intel ligence, are excluded from representation in a body where matters of vital interest to the whole population are to be considered and acted upon. There has long been a want of harmony of action and uniformity of sys tem among the schools of the different coun ties of Pennsylvania. To remedy this seri oub delect is one of the chief objects of tne convention now sitting at Harrisburg. But the anomalous condition of Philadelphia pre vents her trom taking part in this important business. It is hoped and believed that much good, for the general cause of education in Pennsylvania, will be-derived from the con vention now in session. But whether the amount of good be great or small, PhiladeL phia is prevented from sharing in it. This condition of things ought to be changed be fore a second convention of the kind assem bles.

Yesterday aorne experiments were made with ft BOW form of diving bell, or submarine ex plorer, as its inventor chooses to call it, at the foot of One Hundred and Twenty-eighth street, East River, in the presence of a num ber of scientific and practical gentlemen, the results of which were highly satisfactory. The experiments made with the explorer yes terday were in the vicinity of the wreck of the English frigate Hussar. This vessel formed part of the English fleet during the Revolutionary war, and on board of her was kept the treasure for the payment of the British army. On the 25thJof November, 1780 (Evacnation Day), the officers of the vessel, knowing of the vicinity of the French (licet, attempted to escape to sea by running the frigate up the East River. She struck, however, on Pot Rock, at Hell Gate, and sustained serious damage. Her officers sailed her on for about a mile, to what was then known as Port Morris, now the foot of One Hundred and Thirty-eighth 81 reels supposing that they would there water. In fact, however, they had/unwittingly selected the deep est part of the river, the vessel having at least seventy feet of watw beneath her keel. A haw ser was got out andtnadefast to a huge oak tree on the bank of the rmrr, and in a few minutes afterward an alarm-was \raiscd that the vessel was sinking. So rapidly aid she settle down that Ike officers were compelled to rush from tin-ir cabins, leaving their clothing and even their swords, money and jeweled snuff-boxes behind them. On the lower deck were eighty American prisoners in manacles. No attempt was, or could be made to save them, and every man, so far as known, perished. The hawser which hod been made fast to the oak tree exerted such a strain upon the tree that it tore it up by the roots. Not far from the spot where the vessel_went down. Governor Morris had an elegant mansion—a field of young corn now waves over its site—where ho afforded accommodations for the night to the officers of the ill-fated Hussar. On the arrival of these gentlemen In England a court-martial was held, and from the evidence then given It ap peared that the Hussar hod on board at the time she sunk, nine hundred thonsand George 111. guineas, which were packed in fifty-two iron boxes bound with copper, and built into the run of the vessel. There can, therefore, be no doubt that the treasure is lying at the bottom of the river, to reward the luck or perseverance of some one. In 1794 the English Government sent over two brigs with men and implements to raise the fri gate j but after two Beasonß of fruitless labor they left, in 1819 they made a second attempt to raise her with the moßt powerful machinery known, but the workmen were ordered off by the Ameri can Government, on the ground that the vessel and all she contained were prizes of war. The wreck was then allowed to rest for a time, but in 1848 other attempts were made to recover the - treasure. An organization known as the Frigatr Hussar Company, with which was connected Mr. G. W. Taylor, the well-known diver, was formed, and constant attempts were made to discover the treasure without success. Up to 1867 the Com pany had expended $60,000 in its fruitless search. This Company now have a contract with Messrs. W. R. Taylor and J. A. Weesse, owners of the submarine explorer, to raise the treasure of the Hussar on a salvage of thirty per cent. The Company is chartered by the State. RESULT OF EXPLORATIONS. The explorations in and around the wreck of the Hussar, which have been made from time to time, have resulted in the discovery of the offi cers’ swords, which were left in their cabins, a superb goldjjeweled snuff-box,a silver snuff-box,a small box of lignum-vitas, containing gold coin, 126 guineas, 26 cannon, 4,000 balls,-a number of muskets, bullets, buckets bearing the name Hus sar, bottles of porter, and gun-flints. Several skeletons or parts of skeletons with manacles on the wrists have also been discovered. Of the cannon raised, two wore presented to the Eng gUsh Government, and several are still to be seen in the arsenal at the Central Park. Two descents a day are now made to the wreck in the submarine explorer. 8o far very little has been discovered. The trersnre Is sup posed to be beneath the stone ballas,of which the frigate had many hundred tons on board. This ballast is now being turned over, but this, of course, is a work of time. Much money and muctopatiencc will doubtless bo required before the guineas are brought to light. Not long since the stern post of tho vessel was standing, and tbiß acted ns n guide to tho divers in prose euting -Some one, however, who ought to have known, better, ton it down, and now. the divers are left to make their explorations In the beat manner they can bo neath seventy-five feet of. water... Yesterday one descent was made about two o’clock in the after noon.fcThe boll reached bottom in fifteen min utes and was allowed to remain there one hour and a quarter, when the divers ascended, bring ing with them some musket flints, copper nails. &c., and the report that they believed thev had struck wood. The explorer acted to perfection, and the divers declared, that they had experi enced no inconvenience whatever during their submersion. CRIME. THE BESBIN6HOFF BOBBERY* Arrest of tbe Perpetrators—Five of Them in Franklin Jail* Everybody will remember tho robbery of old man Benninghoff, the wealthy owner of unnum bered acres of land in Franklin county contain ing innumerable flowing oil wells. The robbery was committed in January last, and tho sum stolen approximated to two hundred thousand dollars m greenbacks and bonds. • The circum stances connected with this great robbery have heretofore befin detailed in these columns; and wc deem It unnecessary to again refer to them. This much, however, by way of introduction to tho following item of interest which we find in the Petroleum Centre Daily Record, of Tuesday, 28th Inst CAPTURE OP THE BENNINGHOFF BOBBEBS. Five of the Benninghoff robbers have been cap tured recently, and three of them are now In Franklin jail, having been placed thereyesterday. The names of these three are Louis Welde, Geo. Miller and Jake Shopbitt. Miller was taken at Sagertown, Pa., and Welde and Shopbitt at- Akron, O. Two others were captured in Phila delphia, and will bo lodged in Franklin jail to day. The ,three whose names, are mentioned above have confessed to their participation In the robbery, and informed on those who were con nected with them. - The principal, one—Jim Sieger—has .not yet been captured, and it is supposed that ho is in Europe. The joq or robbing Benninghoff was fired up at Saeg ertown. Miller, one of the prisoners, started m (he expedition with the others, but backed but before they arrived at BenningholTs house, and refused to help-commit tha-robbety..' Hivbow ever, kept the matter secret for some time, nnlil about six weeks ago, when ho gave Information (hat led to the arrest of tho five. The officers waited some time, and yesterday they “closed in on them.” This neat little job was put up by Robert Hague, of Pittsburgh, a profes sional detective, and a German, named Wegefarth, who resides in Meadville. On the night before the robbeiy Mr. Wegefarth was sealed in q saloon at Meadville. Two men were seated near him; they were Germans, and conversing in the tongue of “faderland.” Elis at tention was arrested by a remark which one of them made. It was something as follows: “If that little matter comes out all right we shall be well enough off.” He was partially acquainted with them and knew that they belonged In Siegertown. When the news of the robbery reached him, be at once thought that the two men whom he had seen at the saloon were concerned in It. Bin suspicion was so strong that it soon became conviction in his mind. We do not know how and when he and Hague got their heads together. Hague de termined to trace out the robbers, and Wegefarth was willing to help him. The latter went to 8:e -gertown and remained around there. After awhile be got Into Miller’s confidence. It seems that Miller had only received $1,300, and he was dissatisfied. Wegefarth nursed him, and he finally, to speak professionally, “squealed”, on the party. This was six weeks ago or more, and during the time which intervened between that and the arrest, Hague was making eveiy effort to se cure Sieger, but ob yet has been unable to do so. As usual, In such cases, there ore very many rumors afloat, and It is somewhat difficult to get at the truth of the matter, but we believe the above to be a reliable statement. We have drawn our information from what we regard as authentic sources. One rumor is that the mis tress of one of the robbers betrayed them. Hague traced Sa?ger to Baltimore and from thence to Omaha. From some point west he tele graphed to have the other parties arrested. This order was carried into execution, as we have al ready seen. Borne conclude from thi3 that he has got Sieger, while others think he has given up the chase. Some of the money—we don't know how much—has been recovered, and come certificates of deposit secured. The robbers had invested a great deal of the money in real estate or other property. Welde had purchased a hotel at Akron, Ohio, payiDg $21,000 for it, and another had pur chased a large farm. 80 80 78 80 The reward offered for the arrest of these fel lows was $60,000. Tho Bcnninghoff boys say they will be satisfied, if there is enough recovered to pay the reward. BECONSIBUCTIOS. Georgia—General ITleade’s Adminis- Reviewing Gen. Meade’s course as military commander, the Atlanta (Ga.) Era says: The complications that they [ the military offi cials | necessarily met at every step they advanced can be very readily imagined, but very rarely un derstood by those who had nothing to do but look on. In the discharge of these duties the officials had to steer between Scylla and Charyb dis. In other words, they had to find the exact limit of their duty, which limit was necessarily more or less defined by emergencies as they arose, many of which could not have been anti cipated by the most acute human foresight. Again they had to resist a pres sure forward as well as a ’ tre mendous counter-pressare, neither of which was likely to be conciliated by anything short of entire acquiescence in its demands. In spite of these complications, and the embarrassments that confronted every step forward, these officers have discharged their duty in a wise, liberal, humane and kind manner. No man can say to-day that he was wantonly oppressed—that he has suffered outrage at the hands of the military authorities. The officers, from Gen. Meade down, have done no more than was imperatively demanded of them, for they were acting under orders that were as irrevocable as the “lawß of tho Medes and Persians.” They, were not responsible for their duties, but wero'rcsponsible for the manner in which they discharged them. Hence there was nothing left lor their guidance but the plain letter of the law, which admitted of but one construction, and prescribed but one method for its execution. We have had inter course with most if not all the officers who have been on duty here since the formation of the mil itary district, and have had some opportunity to discover their feelings toward the Southern peo ple. We have found nothing but a kind, sympa thetic sentiment,and an earnest desire to have the the State and all the Southern States restored to the Union. But, no matter how cordial were their feelings toward the Southern people, thev were soldiers, and conld not permit any senti ment of favor or personal consideration to stand in the way of a complete and fearless discharge of their duties. Whenever rigid discipline has been necessary, we are satisfied that it was exer cised in sorrow, rather than with a wish to de grade or humiliate the people of tho district. We do not see how they could have done other wise than they have, and not be held accountable to their superiors at Washington. FROM NEW FORK. New York, July 31 Chailos Hartman and Ferdinand Sulsberger, sentenced in June last to ten days’ imprisonment, and also to pay a fine of $5,000 each, for defrauding the Government by illicitly removing whisky from a bonded warehouse, were released from Ludlow street jail, by direction of President Johnson, who fully pardoned the offenders.

The particulars arc not yet known. London, July 31, 4 P. M.—Parliament was pro rogued this afternoon by royal commission. Srert D«fic;t in the Postal Depart- menu iSpeclal Despatch to the Fhila. Evening Bulletin.) Washington, July 31.—The annual statement of tte Post-office Department for the fiscal year ending on the 30th of Juno, will show an alarm ing deficit. In 1865, it will be remembered, there was a surplus of $869,435; in 1866, there was a deficit, the first for several years, of $965,093. In 1867 this deficiency amounted to $3,998,455; in 1868 It will prove to be, in ronnd numbers $8,000,000. This annually increased deficit is owing to several causes: among them are the re storation of mail service on Southern routes; the subsidies for oceanic . mail - service;-'- —but —-these——erases—--which ~ wholly or In part were in operation in 1867, do not fully account for the alarming deficiency in 1868, which mnst be looked for In other direc tions. The voluntary increase of pay granted by the Postmaster-General to contractors on the Northwestern rontes .has added considerably to . this last deficit From Washington.
