and county have noon to setile tho question to
which he refers. Ho is an old and thorough
going Democrat —well known and true and
tried.
IflTjf Attention is direoted to the long list of
applications for now banks in this State. It
will be found in our money article of to-day.
THE NEWS
There had been 68 cases of yellow fever at
Portsmouth, Va , and 26 deaths, up to Monday
evening
A great fire has oocarred in Constantinople,
destroying over one thousand houses and as
zniuy shops.
A Philadelphia paper Bays the packet chip
Wyoming, Copt. Turley, left Walnut street
Wharf on Saturday for Liverpool, with 190
second oabiu and steerage passengers, besides a
number in tho oabin ; among the latter was John
Drew, tho comedian.
Aooonnts from the French departments state
that the oorn crops promise well, BDd also the
beet root, potatoes and colaa. The hay ia
abundant and has been got well. The vines are
In bloom, with n most favorable appearanoe.
Tho olive trees and mulberry trees, for silk
worms, also promise well.
THE GREAT WORK OF THE AGE
Tiiu taking of Sebaetopot, provided it it taken,
will oost some two hundred thousand lives, and
two hundred million dollars; and yet when taken
the world will bo no better for it, and the inter
ests of humanity will be ia no way advanoed.
•« h won't pay.” Neither the cost nor the in
terest on its cost will ever be refunded if tbo
undertaking should be successful. But there is
a far greater enterprise before the American
people that involves no sacrifice of life, and no
OUihy c-f money that would not be abundantly
repaid ; and its benefits would bo immeasurable,
perpetual and universal. It is the building of
the Paoifio railroad.
We have hoped and still hope that the present
naticnal administration would see the importance
of this great enterprise, and give to it that en
oonragemeut and aid that alone is needed to in
sure its success. Nothing could be more uni
versally popular. No voioo opposes it. No
man doubts its practicability, or the vast na
tional benefits that It would insure to this
country#-
Within the past year over ten million dollars
Worth of the public Wodß have been soli. Ten
years of each sales would produoo all the mr.es
for toe construction of euoh a road. The gov.
ernment is nearly free from debt, and at peace
with all the world. Its soaroea of revenue are
abnnJintand unfailing; and thore can never
occur a tnore propitious time for the comenco
m -nt c-f the work.
It should not be a government work. All
that wjull be needed from the government
would bs the expense of the surveys, which
have been already made: a charter to a compa
ny: a right of way free from the western line
of Missouri to the eastern line of California :
military protection to the work as it progresses :
and a liberal grant of lands in alternato soctiooa
along the route. Securing the Indian title to
the belt of land needed could be easily accom
plished, and mußt be donee-some time. Tbo
grant of land need not be more liberal than that
made some years ago to aid in tbe construction
of the railroads of Illinois; and the lands cer
tainly could not be devoted to a more national or
a more useful purpose. With such aid and en
couragement from tbe government, a oompany
could readily bo found that wonld find all other
maans needed to complete the work in a very
fow years. Such an undertaking wonld give
employment to thousands of laborers and me
chanics. Tbe engineering skill is at hand. The
iron mines of Pennsylvania will furnish the
rails; and the workshops of the whole country
the locomotives and cars. It would give a fresh
impulso to industry and enterprise, and people
the whole broad West with a thriving population
within tbe present age. Every interest of the
whole coontry oalls for tho speedy commence
ment of this work; and tho government can,
during the next session of Congress, set the
wholo machinery in motion for tho completion
of a work more grand, more durable and mere
useful than any other work of any nation of
ancient or modem times. There is mind and
muscle, capital and enterprise enough In the
country to do it, if tho government will bat oom
biae it and set iu motiou by euoh encouragement
as wo have mentioned.
The undertaking is not after all so vast as
many consider It. The people of Illinois, with
the aid of some government lands, have already
completed a railroad more than one third as
lone as tbe Pacific road would be ; and it has
doubled the wealth of that State. The whole
cost of the Pacific road would not be over a
hundred million dollars. The Now York and
E r ic road coßt about one-third of that sum.
From the western Uao of Missouri to tbe east
ern Un of California la less than two thousand
miles We havo ia this country already oom
ploted moro ih&u eight times that length of
railroads; and probably not one of the railroads
now in use are half as profitable as the Pacific
road will bo.

A Hvri&burg paper in a recent artiolo on

«• Our b otels aro, generally, Urge and well

This ie the ooolcat piece of assurance we have
oome across during the " heated term,”—it is
pcrfrctly refrigerating. When it is remembered
that the Legislature came within one of re
moving the seat of government last winter sole
ly from a fear of starvation if they remained,
and that tho indefatigable "Rosa” had to ob
tain leave of absence several times daring the
session for the purpose of “ taking the wrinkles
ont of his stomnoh,”—contracted from too strict
a did the assuranoe of the above is rather ap
parent. It won’t do to brag of the Hotels of
the Capitol. The lesß said about them the
better.

Messrs. Editors —I just read r. communica

whose character you endorse aa a Democrat aud
citizen. I wish to Bay that I fully agree with
the writer of the article, so far as ho goes in
favor of au exclusive Democratic ticket, and
have no besitatiou in saying that nine tenths of
the Democracy will endorse his suggestions.
There are, however, perrons in the Democratic
party who would saorifhe ali political obliga
tions, provided they oould accomplish their own
selfish motives and make themselves appear
abroad as the embodiment of tho party at home.
I regret to say that those gentlemen still pereiM
in their dictation, when at trio same time they
are aware that they ace doing tho party
more barm than good, bat I presume their ob
ject is to make themselves appear as the great
men of the Democracy in this county, at all

Klllftd by Hl* Sou.
We learn that a horriblo case occuared in Din
widdio on Saturday last. Tho oircumstancea
appear to be the following:
Mr. Tuoker Jones residing about six or oight
miles from Dinwiddle Court House, had earn bis
negro boy to Petersburg on tho day before with
a load of oats.
The boy not having returned, the old man
becamo very angry and reproached bis son, Ben
jamin Jones, as tho caaso of tho negro's dolay,
remarkiog that had ho acoompanied him with
the oatß as ho had been dirooted, tho boy would
have been baok.
The son made some insolent remark ia reply,
which so provoked the father that ho seized a
guu and pointed it towards him. As ho was
about firing it, tho mother turned the gun with
her arm, and tho load waß discharged threngh
an adjoining window.
As she wao rushing out of tho bouse to cal’
in help, she heard a noise behind her, and on
looking back, perceived her husband stretched
lifeless on the floor, felled by the hand of his
These were tho facts elicited yesterday from
the mother's testimony at Jones' examining trial.
He was admitted to bail and is now at largo.
We have news from Caba to tho 25th j
ult. Tho decision of the tribunal in the caso
of the politioal offenders had been rendered.
Seven hundred and sixty-two Chinese laborers
had been landed there in two days, and sold at
a rate of $l7O for each full grown healthy one.
The eccuo was melancholy. Tho Asiatics were
downcast, many sick, and all half naked. A
great many Yucatan women and ohildren were
also in the market, sent by Santa Anna’s agents.
Teu captured Boaala, from tbs ooaat of Africa,
were for sale; but one of them, who epoko
Portuguese, made some revelations respecting
the slave trade which caused much exoitement.
Tho United Statoa sloops Oyane and Falmouth
wore in port. The steamer Uoited States had
been sold for nearly $l5O 000. Health of the

Elopement in Higu Life —A week or two
since a tailor of this city eloped with a beautiful
daughter of a wealthy man, re idiog in Dover,
N. H. The faot of the elopement gained addi
tional interest when it became known that the
lady had appropriated §7.000 of her father’s
money—abstracted from his safe—to the enjoy
ment of tbe honeymoon. On Saturday, officers
from Dover were in Boston with a view of ob
taining Information relative to the runaways,
bot up to the present time their residence is
uaknown. —Boston Chronicle ,
A Singular Fobgiybness —Sir Walter Scott,
in hie article in the Quarterly Review, on the
Culloden papers, mentions a characteristic in
stance of an old Highland warrior’s mode of
pardon. “You must forgive even your bitterest
enemy, Kenmuir, now,” said the confessor to
him, as he lay gasping oq his death bed. “Well,
if X must, I must,” replied the chieftain, “ but
my ourse be on you, Donald,” turning towards
his son, u if you forgive him.”

Curious Calculation. —Last year there wrre
conoumed id this country about 705.000 000
pounds of cano sugar and 27 000,000 pounds of
maple sugar. Tbis gives more than 24 pounds
cf Citie sugar and 1 pound of maple sugar to
every man, woman and child- Tnis does not
iailud.j molasses or honey. If this sugar were
put into barrels holding 200 lbs., and each bar
rel occupied tho space cf three square feet only,
it would require 839 acres of land tor it to ntaail
upon. The barrels if placed in a row, would
reach 220 miles. If the sugar was put up in
piper pai*.k-ȣes of fire pounds each, it would
require 140 400,000 sheets of wreppiac paper,
and if only a yard cf string was u>ed on each
package, there would bo required 439 tiUQ 000
or,B3,OOOmt!es of string—more than three
ttmes enough to goarouud tho world. If every
! retail clerk sold a hundred pounds of each
Jay it woahl require nearly 25 000 clerks n pel!
it in a year. I? the dealers, wholesale and retail
I together, mad*) a profit of only two cents a
1 pound on this sugar, these prefits nlhno wu!d
