shell have uninterrupted communication with
San Francisco... The eastern branch of the
road is now constructed to or Riley, 1.160
miles distant front Philadelphia. and it is said
to be graded sixty Miles beyond - ttiat point.
It is expected that in little more than a year
it will be Opened to Denver City, the capital
of Colorado, 2000 miles from the Delaware riv

As regards ihe'western end of the road; it . is
already built, and in operation from San
Francisco to within twelve Miles Of the sum

with him during-the voyage across the

ing that he was far removed from danger,
was free and outspoken - about his - connection
with the assassination conspiracy. Sdrratt
will be immediately-brought to this country
in'one of our National veesels: '
In view of the fact that - Andrew Johnson
is - charged with hiving been hisplicated in the

ofSUrratt.will lead to .an investigation in
the matter.: Mr. Boutivell . olMassachusetts,

the Massacre' of New Orleans on the 'nib of
July ; the reappointment. of rejected officials ;
the refutial to commission some who had been
confirmed ; the profligate use of the public
money for political purposes; the threats
against the Congress of the United. States - -- .
.especially that of arraigning it . as an uncim r .

three years longer to pay off the County

The removal of Gen. Thomas from Nast

&bets in the former city ah invitation t_
throw.off the cloak of Unionism, which fo
some time past, they.have wont. , The jou'
nals have become outspoken in their treason
able - aentiments, and the people are no longe
restrained in thelf dislpyal acts. The "hot,
cause" is now openly referred 'to, .and no op
pcirtuitity, to do honor to the men who fough
in the army of 'treason is omitted.. Amon,

benefit of disabled Confederate soldiers," a

• A - correspondence has been going on foi
two weeks -past between Secretary -Sewer(
and Sir . Frederick - Bruce, - concerning the ex
ecution of the Fenian prisoners in Canada.—
It is saitl- that while Sir Frederick` willini
to give verbal assurances that the executioi
shall not take place, Mr. Seward is incline(
to demand a written p.edge, and iu the view:
of the legtrtion this is evidently to stir uj

New RAILWAY PathrEcr.—Last week an
excursion *ás made to - Norfolk," and:
'Fortress Monroe; for the purpose of formally
inaugurating the . opening of the new-Penin
sular,e
or Air Line Route from New" York and
. Philadelphia to. Norfolk. An invitation was.
- extended to. us by lion. Hiester Clymer to
partieipate in the excursion, Until e. were not •
able much. to our regret, to aeeompany it. A .
correspondent- of. tkc. Reading Journal who
was with the excursion; says : - •
• IV-. the new lino it is intended, atuong other
objects, to connect -the great anthracite. coal re-:
gums of Pennsylvania. , with the Southern sea-.
board Cities, by a more direct runto.'than that Of
the Beading Railroad rift Philadelphia—which-I.l c
present the only medium of transportation be-,
tweeh these two sections of the country , -and to
'afford besides, new facilities for supply and trans.i.i
portation, to the • tbielily populated and\vealthy
bitsiuess district Ivie between I3irdsboro 'and'
Wilmington. Passing over the Trciadirig , ltailroad
from Pottsville, the new road will branCh off it
Birdsboro' and run in a• southerly directiati to
Witmingto - n, the dist:nice betneen- the last •two •
points named being: the neighborhood of 56 ••
miles. Ruttuins through the townships of Union
and Robeson in Burks, an luterseetion will ho
made with the Waynesburg Railroad a short dis
tance east of that village, and with the Pennsyl
vania Railroad aCCoateeville, Chester county.—
From a point just below Coatesville to Wilt:mug- •
ton, the exact location of . the road has dot yet
them deterniinetnapen. Two separate routes aro
proposed between these places, the one passing •
in an ealitwardly direction, elope eking the Bran- •
dywine Creek,connectingwith a. proposed bran&
,to West Cheater and crossing the Baltimore
mil Railroad' at Chadirs Ford, and the other runf• e
wing more ditectly:south to Wilmington ' and in-
tersecting the lust -mentioned .line at Kennett
Square. The latter route, which would be din
shorter by abput two miles, hi principally.favbred•
by the citizens of Wilmingonywhile the Brandy
-wino route would possess the advantage of pas
sing by the numerous cotton and grist
.ed ution that creek, besides securing the impor
tant conpection wit lrW6i t Chester. It is estimated
that thdroad.trorn Birdsboro' to Wilmington, he
sides supplying the district lying along its direct • -
• main line, will distribute coal and freight latkr- •
ally over at - least 150 miles of the railroad lines
which it intersects. From this fact may Li 6 infer
red
the' great - ituportatice of its construction- to .•
the sections of Ler ks acid Chester counties through
wtleh it - wilt pass.. In further, el the direct '
communication just established, by means of thp
great Air Line with the seaboard cities 'of:the :
South, whither, ait tong otherpcirt ions of that vast,

project about to be put into successful operation.
The Delaware Railroad, or Peninsular

State of Delaware, arid terminates et 'Cris-
field on the Chesapeake Bay, at which point. -
it connects with the Nortblk line of steamers. •
This road bag run 'us -far as 'Saida tor • -

tended to . Princess Anne, but its completion J.
to Crisfield has only.heen accomplished with •

Wilmington to"Crislield is 136 miles, and from 1:
Crisfield, to Norfolk, by the bay route, it
.miles.
_The time from Philadelphia to Nor- ' -
folk-la 13. hours, and from New York to Nor is
-
folk 16 hours, so that one may now start from -
New-York at 7 P.M., and arrive et Norfolk at .
o'clock next day, withent losing his night's .‘.
rest—that is providing he is able" to sleep •
on railroad cars. From Norfolk to Richmond '
the conneetion.is . by the way of the- South
Side - R. - R. to,Peterspurg, and the distance 1 .
something over a hundred - m les. ' . •
