Resolved, That the establishment of the vsri• ous routes now in successful operation, will have a tendency to encourage the speedy projection of the Pacific railroad, the consummation of which, will serve to connect more closely the cherished homes of onr "fatherland," with the eons and daughtersof the Pacific , coast. Resolved, That the Ron A N Brown, Post master General, in his wise policy in the manage meat of the department under his charge, and fur his untiring efforts to give the people of Ca lifornia a speedy communication across our con. tinent, deserves our heartfelt gratitude A large and enthusiastic meeting of the citi zens of San Francisco was held on the 10th inet , to give expression to the sense entertained by the people of that oity of the great benefits they are to receive from the establishment of the Overland Mail route The annexed resolutions were adopted: Rau/red, That. the people of San Francisco, in mass meeting assembled, esteem the success ful establishment of the most important work hitherto attempted for the developing of the wealth and permanent prosperity• of our posses sions on the Pacific coast. Resolved, That the emancipation of the people of California from the thraldom of the only speedy routes hitherto available, the necessity of whose use has f. bj eo ted our citisens to the dangers and privations of sea travel and oft repeated indignl ties and wrongs from semi•civiltzed foreign gu% ernments, is hailed with sentiments of joy and of gratitude to those by whose energy and i n, domitable perseverance so glorious a result has been achieved. Rewired, That the Hon. A V Brown, Post master General, in his official acts, presents claims to onr consideration of no ordinary charac ter, in the successful result we now celebrate, in the establishment of the various lines of com- The Buffalo Commercial, always a fair acid honorable opposition journal, in remarking upon thissubjeet, says that whatever faults a nd cx travagances may be charged upon the general management of the Federal governmsot, the Post Office Department deserves the approval of the public Since Postmaster General Brown sent into office he has completed and perfected a 'borough system of trans. Atlantic mail tranfpor , tation, connecting this country with all the more ithpoitant portions of Europe., by distinct liner; has secured a triumphant' success of t h e great ,verland mail route, and now looks to a more re gular and reliable communication with both the eastern and western shores of South America The Washington correspondent of the N Y Times, in commenting on these achievements, calls -attention to another great and feasible scheme in the following language: But will Governor Brown stop here and rest upon his laurels? He is not the man to stop half way or leave his work unfinished I then draw the tact conclusion from the established premises that the report of Postmaster General Brown will urge upon C.ingress the necessity for a line of wr.t, team ra between Sao Francisco and sin e ..1 the p •rts of China. Such a line of ste.,aii re, is to. , ply called for to complete the great wail iu• u w 'lamest belting the globe, but it wows stroke of national policy It would .e. ract the entire European mails f,,r the }:,a-.t wainiii would pass over this line, and by the soiount of postage received would not only pay the expenses of the Pacific steamers, but would relieve the treasury from the burtben of supporting the Atlantic lines. The arguments here advanced are weighty and the probability that such a trans-Pacific line would support itself is w ell i maintained In thus paying tribute to the executive energy of Gov Brown, it should not be forgotten that he is largely indebted for his success to the skill and judgment of Horatio King, First. Assiateut Postmaster General Mr King has been so I ong in the office, has such a comprehensive knowledge of all the details of the mail service, and such capacity for grouping and harmonising the workings of the system, that his services are hardly to be overestimated Among the mul tifarious duties of his bureau are included the supervision of the ocean mail steamship lines, and of the foreign and international postal ar rangements He has consequently been the so sive agent in many of the exoellent reforms and additions inaugurated during the term of Gov. Brown Tuz Diseases --Congress meets a week from next Monday, and as a matter of course, as the time approaches, the interest in the Message of the President increases. And ben°e it is that a goodly number of our exchanges, chiefly, we may say all of the opposition, are quite busy just now speculating as to its propable oontents One affects to find fault with the great secrecy of the President's movements in not permitting the contents to be known and mouthed by tem in advance of the meeting of Congress, and another has some other wise suggestion to offer as to what be ought to say and do Now, we venture, that the President is not bound, and will.not ask any of his croaking falsifier sad defamers for their assistance, but will pursue the even tenor of his way regardless of their anxiety, or 4e clamor ling they may feel disposed to raise on the subject The message will be out to a few days, and the better plan would be for them to wait patiently, and then eke out their penchant for grumbling and faalt•gnding.

Both engines, however, were reversed. The engineer on the Little Miami -locomotive remained at his poet. The person having charge of the Marietta locomotive leaped off after reversing the engine. The two locomotives came together with such a force as to cause each to rebound. Neither was injured to any extent. The Marietta locomotive was, in feet, not injured at all. The engine had been reversed and a full head of steam was on one was on the the machine. After the re bound it paused for a moment, then puffed, and carted towards the depot. Each revolution in creased the speed, and by the time it reached the depot the unfettered iron-horse was flying at the rate of thirty miles an hour. Those ,aware of the state of affairs expected to see a train, then in the d e pot, an ant filled with passengers, crushed to pieces. This was fortunately averted by a slight oversight of one of the attaches of the road It is the duty 'of the street conduotor to clear what is known as the- freight track in the depot every evening.

A Tat E PORTRAIT --:The Spring63l,l Mass ) Reputl,,,un draws the following very correct and hf. alto portrait of its party. Doubtless our readers will recognize it at a glance, for aside from the points of resemblance to the Republi. can party generally, there is a lova I resemblance that must be peculiarly refreshing in this vioin• ity : "The fact is, that the 'republican party isn't a party yet, and, still worse, isn't likely to bo at present. What it needs worse than anything else is a definition of itself, a discipline, a bouu; dary, a habitation, doors to let the people iu, walks to keep them in, and a recognised head of the house to look to as a protector. It has none of these things now, but inhabits a sort of ten ac r e int, half the bars of which are down three. quarters of the time. You admit one squad and another squad escapes at the same moment, like the Highland chieftain. It is 'autiinigger in St Louis to save Mr Blair ;' protectionism in Pennsylvania to accommodate floury Carey, and save two or three Congressmen ; old-fashioned whiggery in Ohio, that Tom Corwin may make himself at home ; Fultnoreism in Kentucky and Maryland, so that Humphrey Marshall and lien• ry Winter Davis may be re elected ; truck and dicker in our State committee, so that Burlin. game may not be beaten, and so on. A Gardner or a straight 'republican' of 1857, or even a Fill moreite of 1856, is just as good a 'republican' as anybody. There is no risk in deserting, for the deserters are not shot as they are in the demo. cratio and every other well regulated party." TREATY WITII JAPAN.—Lieut. flabersham, in hi:a last letter to the Philadelphia Ledger, written on board the U S. steamer Powhatan at Simoda, gives the following particular of the treaty lately made with Japan. It provides: Firstly. That the tax of six per cent, for coin , ing our money into theirs, now paid by the Am. enoau purehaser of Japanese exports, shall be dispensed with. _ Secondly. The annual practioe of "trampling upon the cross," which has existed, at Nagasa• ki only, since about the year 1620, is to be eon tinned no more after the fourth of July next; and our Ministers sad families to reside at Jed do. Thirdly. The provisions of the treaty to take effect from and after July 4tb, 1869. The op' ening of some new porta forms an exception to tbie article Fourthly. Americans may build churches and worship their God; sod religious freedom is also granted to all Japanese. Fifthly. The port of Simoda is to b e closed, and that of Kansgawa opened in its plaoe. Hego and the great city of Osumi, of which it' is the seaport, are also to be opened. At Rego the water is so bold that vessels say moor close alongside the beach, and the bask country is the ria4t productive and thickly populated of Japan. Sixthly. A stipulation is made in the article that opens li.anagawa, which is only seventeen miles from ireddo, which protects tLc latter from the visits of foreigners. .11r. Harris says, how ever, that this will not last long. Such a stipu lation was necessary; for, by Commodore Perry's treaty, we should have been allowed to ramble around Kansgawa to sub a distance that the eight of Jeddo would have been included. Soventhly. Japanese coin may be exported, but in the purchase of it A.znerioan gold must be weighed against Japanese gold, and silver against ailrer--1 The copper ("eseny") shall be excepted by ibis article, unless it also be weighs ed against copper coin.
