(Special Correspondence of tbo Ddly Pittsburgh Osrolte.J '■ St. Jo., Mo., Feb. 25, 1859. Jfeura. Editon .—Twenty years ago it was thought u pretty bold suggestion when mado by Got. Porter of Pennsylvania, in his first message, that there 'should bo a grand continuous lino of railroad from Philadelphia to St. Louis. Xr- motnber well that many received the suggestion os visionary, and not likely to bo accomplisbod'wilbin the period assigned to a generation, but in. this wonder-working age, uotbiug appears to he beyond tbo energy and enter prise of our people. Hot, upon the western border of Missouri, nearly 300 miles west of St. Louis, we find the terminus of the Hannibal A St. Joseph Railroad, which has just boon completed, and forms another link of a grand chain which is to span the continent from tbo Atlantio to the Pacific. St. Jo— as it h familiarly called—is a fine, prosperous town, and is already beginning to foci the impulse of a now vitality. This road will work a wondrous change in tho routes of travel to the “Plains,” and to Kansas and Nebraska. The tedious and danger ous Missouri river route will,in a great moasurt, be abandoned by intelligent travellers, who wish to economise time and money. \ou can leave your Smoky City on Monday morning and reach Chicago on Tuesday morning, and by making doso connec tion with tho Quincy lino, you may ho In Quincy that evening, and the next day tako tho Sl Louis A Keokuk packet for Ilannlblkl and bo in St. J 0—207 miles—on Thursday. Tho fare through from Pitts burgh to St. Jo is about thirty dollars. Pemas de siring to reach any portion of Kansas,'will find it to their advantage oad comfort to tako this route, nnd may fiod boats almost any day cither to descend or ascend tbo Missouri from this point. Atchison it> the first point of importance, ip Kansas, below Bt Jo, and is distant by water abdtit 40 miles. It has tbo advantage of a good landing and a good geo graphical position, and is rapidly improving. The name is a bad ono, and prejudices many against tho place. It is, as yon are awaro, called after Senator Atchison, who first tempted Douglas to report a bill repealing the Missouri Compromise and assert tbo great squatter sovereignty doctrine, which, as it is now read and interpreted, means that the peoplo of a territory, may form snch constitutions and pass snch laws, and regulate their domestic institutions, as they tuay please, prorided that they e*tabli*h nnd protect tlaveri/. With this simple provision, Kansas might havo been admitted, aido by side, with old Joe Lane’s State—Oregon—but inasmuch as Kansas did not accept of the proviso, and although as fair and as good looking os her sister, beyond the Rocky Mountains, “she eouldn’t como in,” sho would , not have “nagers." Appropos of “nagerssince “old Brown” has commenced running a new subterranean railroad, there is a great panic among the slavo holders in this part of Missouri and ih Kansas. • It is estimated, that nearly ono thousand slaves havo been shipped South, this winter and spring. Scarcely a boat leaves without having a trader with some human chattels aboard. Kansas will, doubtless, re ceive a very Targo accession to ils population this Spring, and will in a brief period, disturb Jeff Davis rdi] the firo eaters,-by the knocking at tho doors of tho Senate of ovej 100,000 citizens, asking for her admission as a/Vr A iVife. Vrhftt then ? What will Mrs. Grundy or Billy say then ? la pa&iing through Mii->rari I could not but rogret that denuJA%ad paen desecrated by •iihtrMiyUiog curae- - hwtarawiavery. What a great m&lalto the statesman of lSflO made, when ho ilo partod,from tho Jefferson policy, and permitted Mis souri to engraft slavtry upon her constitution. 1 havo travelled pretty extansivoly in our own country, and I know of no State —alllhings considered—that possesses natural advantages superior to Missouri. Sho has soil, climato, minerals, and magnificent rivers, indeed, everything requisite lu build up a grand State, but sho has been dwarfed and cramped by the very manacles which her constitution rivets upon acertaiu portion of tho children born upoj* her soil. With slavery came the energy i!' and enterprise (! j -of the first families of Virginia and North Carolina, who still continue to send their slaves to mill, with a stone in one cud uf Lbe bag, to balance the Corn that may be in the other, but a brighter day ia dawning upon Missouri, fogyism'cannot much longer rule the destinies of such a Stale. Missouri was stolen from freedom's domain, and stolen property sooner or l&tor, mast bo returned upon the demand of the wncr. That demand is mow Uituj made. rrrTSßusau. BuiTisn India.—Rocenl letters from officers of the arm j express some fears of the great num ber of Sikhs, which it is found necessary to keep under arms. These Blkha, a few years since, were the'most determined opponents the British bad in India, but their services have boon In valuable in crushiogthe Sepoy revolt, and under the lead of British officers they aro found to fight as fearlessly as do British soldiers. They seem to fully awaroof their own cousequeaco, and the correspondent of the London Times writes that they receive frequent warning from well-disposed natives, that IhoPunjaubee troops are so numerous, and that tho national pride of the Sikh race is rising fast. Surfeited with tho plunder and spoils of Hindosian, tho Sikhs aro contented as yet. Bufthey think Utt of w and more of fAcm«rft’« than they did a short time ago. The men on service continue to write to their homes in the Ptfnjoub most satisfactory letters, brealhiog ngo jd spirit. But those who return home from leave are Bald to be vainglorious of their own deeds, and declare that they have reconquered lodin for the English- Over 100,000 of these Sikhs are now under British pay, and without thorn it is universally admitted that the English could not have suc ceeded in reconquering the country. Times’ correspondent says : Despite the risk and hazard, it is evidont that at present we musL retain this Punjauheo army. On the one band we must nover let native treopa have a preponderance ; on the other hand we cannot hold the country without a certain pro portion of them ; and so long as wo are pretty strong, we can always keep a party in the coun try who will fight faithfully ou our eido. The British Navy.—Mr. Reed, late .of tho Portsmouth, (Eng.) dockyard in a recent survey of Iho state of tho British navy, represented its strength as follows : Lino of battle ships 61 Ulockshipo ‘l Frigates,. Corvettes l' { Smaller Corvettes. v Mortar frigates 4 FloalingbaUerice-.--.

All the ships nliko, I rom the heaviest threo decker to the smallest guuboat,are not only steamers,but screw steamers and they mount guns which are, or at least, were considered the most formidable they could carry. 8o much for our Grot-class screw, steam navy. After these vessels there follow- no .fewer than 75 steamers propelled by poddlee- a. machine gone rather out of fashion, but which is, never theless, considered os possessingnot only utility, bat, possibly, even certain advantages. To com plete the table we haveiOl sailing vessels of war, making as aggregate of CIS fighting ships bear ing 16,140 guns, and carrying among them en gines of nearly 100,000 torso .power.— London Tima. An Hohebt Confession.—Senator Toombs, with oil his errors, is a bold man, and sometimes says what is not agreeable in his political asso ciates. In his late speech, on the revenue ques tion, ho thus spokeof the wastefulness of the National Administration: v ‘ Your appropriations for navy-yards have gone to the building of houses for officers and making of flower pots ond all that kind of thing, at a cost of $2,000,000 ; and it will ho no less as long as yoa will pay it, but win go up to $4,000,000, if you do not stop-it There aro $2 000,000 that you have no need for at all.— You have 8000 Bailors to man your navy, Yoa have not Increased them of late years, and you now have 8000 men ip your navy-yards to help them,—civilians. Yon have carried their num ber npfrom 3000 to 8000. You have eight navy yards. England has over 350 ships and she has two navy-yards. You have eight conve niently located all about the. country, and it is a cannot reproach to. good for (Ju auntsf toyvi kap p&pk ihat io xhtdt fhm in ekeiienst cai qs God u wyjufytt l on afraid fare Tub Sale or tots Butler Neoroes. —Tho N. T. TViiujie has taken the pains to send a Re porter all the way to Savannah, in-order to re port the sale of tho negroes on the estate of Mr. Pierce Butler, apereon who resides in Philadel phia. It, accordingly, under the title of “ Illus trations of AmcrlcanCivilization,’’ gives a most graphio and interesting account of the affair.— About four hundred chattels in all were sold— , men, women atul children—varying from tbo I ages of fifteen days to fifty years. A great many negro doalera wero in attendance, and the sale appears to havo excited an unusual interest in the vicinity. Tho reporter, says: “For several days before tho sale every hotel in Savannah was crowded with negro specula tors from North and Boulh Carolina, Virginia, Georgia, Alabama and Louisiana, who had been attracted hither by tho prospects of making g6od bargains. Nothing wai heard for days in the bar-rooms, and pablic rooms, but talk of the great sale, criticisms of tho busiuesa aflairs of Mr. Butler, and speculations as to the probablo prices the Block would bring. The oflico of Joseph Bryan, the negro broker who had tho management of the salo, vras thronged every day by eager inquirers in search of rnformalion, and by some who were anxious to buy, but were uncertain as to whether their securities would provo acceptable. Little parties wero mado up from tho various hotels every day to visit the raco-course, distant somo three miles from tho' city, to look over tho chattels, discuss thoir points, and make memoranda for guidance on the day of the sale. The buyers wero generally of a rough breed, slangy, profane and bearish, being for the most part from tbe back river and swamp plantations, whero the elegances of polite l life are not perhups developed to their fullest extent. In fact the humanities aro sadly ne - glecied by the petty tyrants of the rico fields that border the great Dismal Swamp, their 1 knowledge of the laxuries of our best society . comprehending only revolvers and kindred deli • cacica.” TER3IS: Most of these slaves appear to have been gen uine negroes, and not mulattocs—a point in their favor. Tho intermixluro of white bloed, it is said, has a bad effect upon the black, which is, for the most part, in its native instincts gentle, kindly and unenterprising ; whereas the" white tingo communicates toil a certain irritability and restlessness which is not wholly compatible with servitude. None of the slaves had ever been sold bcTorc, but had passed all their lives on the Butler jlantatlons, either at Darien in Georgia, or at 3t. Simon’s Island, a small strip cut off tbe coast by the Atlantic. Whatever they know of life, itsjoys or its sorrows, had been connected with these estates, but by this sate they were to be torn from them and from their companions forever. Families were not parted, i. e. t a man was not separated from his wife, nor a mother from her young children; but other family tics, such as that of brother and sister, or of parents and older children, were not regarded. These harmless creatures, who had always lived to gether, were scattered at once to the rice swamps and cotton fields of the most distant parts. They had been brought up to the race courso near Savannah for exhibition, end the Tribune writer thus describes the sceue : “Tho slaves remained at tho race-course, some of them for more than a week and all of them for four days before the sale. They were brought in thus early that buyers whcTdesired to inspect them might enjoy, that privilege, although none of them were sold at private sale. For these preliminary days their shed was constantly visi ted by speculators. The negroes were examined with as little consideration as if they had been brutes indeed, /he buyers palling their mouths open to see their teeth, pinching their limbs to find how muscular they were, walking them up and down to detect any signs of lameness, making them stoop and bend in different waya that they might be certain there was no con cealed rupture or wound ; and In addition to ail this treatment, asking them scores of questions relative to their qualifications and accomplish ments. All these humiliations were submitted to without a murmur, and in some instances with good natured cheerfulness, where theißlave liked tho appearance of the proposod buyer, and fancied that he might prove a kind ‘master.’ r******* ‘But ail this lime the salo was going; oo and, tlio-merry Mr. Walsh, with many a quib jest, wasbeguiling the time when the bidding was alow. The expression on the faces of* ail who stepped on the block was always the same, and told of moro anguish than it is in the power of words to express. Blighted homes, crushed hopes and broken hearts was the sad story to be read in all the anxious faces. Some of them re garded the sole with perfect inditl'erence, never making a motion save to tarn from one side to the other at the word of the dapper Mr. Bryan, that all tho crowd might have a fair view of their proportions, and then, when tho sale was accomplished, stepping down from the block without caring to cast even a look at the buyer, who now held Ml their bappiaces in his hands. Others, again, strained their eyes with eager glances from one buyer to another as the bidding went od, trying with earnest attention to follow the rapid voice of tho auctioneer. Sometimes, two persons only would bo bidding for the eamo chattel, all the others having resigned tho con test, and then the poor creature on the block, conceiving an instantaneous preference for one of the buyers over the other, would regard the rivalry with the iotenscst interest, the expres sion of his face changing with every bid, set tling into a half smile of joy if the favorite boy er persevered unto the end and "secured the property, and settling down into a look of hope less despair if the other won the victory."’ The sale lasted for two days, and at tho olose of it, Mr. Pierce Butler gave each one of his former chattels, a dollar. Sundry baskets of champagno were produced, and all wero invited to partake, tho said wine beiDg at tho expense of the broker, Mr. Bryan. The total amount of tho salo foots up at sllo3,Bso—the proceeds of the first dav being $161,460, and of the second day $142,8*70. Tho highest som paid for any ono family was given for Sally Walker and her five children, who wero mostly grown up. The prioe was $6,180. Tho highest price paid for a single man was $1,750, which was given for William, a “fair carpenter and caulker. The highest price paid for a women was $,1,250, which was given for Jane, “ootton hand, and houso servant.” Tho lowest price paid was for Anson and Violet, a gray-haired conplo, each having numbered moro than fifty year?; they brought but $250 a-picce.
