{ From the Portland Ar^us Railroads to the Pacific.

J There is no question- now agitating l Great Britain and tbo United Slates, of jso much importance as Railroad connections between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, Thi.i question, which has hern discussed with much earnestness during the past ten years, seems to be near its solotion. For the first time it entered bold* ly into the last Presidential canvass; and was successful, tbe present President committing himself in its favor. And there is strong ground for hope that Congress wilt make provision for locating and building the contemplated Roads dming his administration. The sooner, the better; for Railroad connections with the Pacific have become a public necessity, , Three routes have been surveyed, and no hare the Report of the War Department, giving all tbe information obtained, on the feasibility, advantages and disadvantages of each, as far aa ascertained. They alt start from tha Mississippi Valley. * Tbo Northern route has its starting point at St. Pauls, in Minnesota; and its length to Vancouver is 1804 miles; and the estimated cost of construction by Gov. Stevens, is §117,121,000; bat the War Department's estimate is, in round numbers §150,000,000.

Oh I there were anxious hearts in Deacon Barrington's brown house that night. ! Very tender); was tho angering little Rose cradled on her moiher'a breast, hut not : once did she speak coherently. Tier cheeks horned, ami her eyes sparkled with foyer; her dimpled arms were tossed above her head, and every little while, between her moans, she would stretch out her bands to some imaginary object, aod say: —-"Please, sister Kate, .isn't Rose most big enough?" Three days passed —days of incessant watching and weariness, and towards evening the little Rose opened her blue eyes, after a restless slumber, 1 She seemed much better, and the motherglanccd hopefully up to the kind physician bending over her. ■" - -

‘ There were throe of us—Kate, Annette, ’ and myself—and we were going into the old wood to hunt strawberries. Oh I it . was each a delicious Jay in Juuo. The birds sang till (be air was fairly vocal with their melody, and all the green tress nodded tflbir bead with approbation. The very brooks seemed to have the general inspiration, and danced along through the meadows as if keeping time to a quickstep of the fairies. Annette Sum mere/and I had been invited to spend the half-holiday with our schoolmate, Kate Harrington. Deacon Harrington's old-fashioned, brown house, fronted toward the Sonth. Behind it stretched a broad, green meadow, and still further back was a densely wooded acclivity, famous for flowers and berries in the geography of every child in Ryefleld. I used toTove to look at Deacon Harrington's old brown house, erenin those early days, when I bad not a single well-de-fined notion of artistic skill in my early head. I know that;' it combined', to. an eminent degree the elements.of the pic* tuicsqoe. The low [roof, which sloped backward nearly to the ground, was gray with moss.. Ivy crept.about the windows, and over the fustic porch bad climbedtwining roses, along with heavy clusters of trumpet cieepem. There was a rude seat at the doorway, made of the little boughs of the white birch, twisted together in fantastic fashion, and hero grandmother Harrington was wont to sii, with her gray, woolen knitting wotk. Oh! what a-treat wo used to think it to spend a half-holiday with Kate Harrington, : ’ . . . “I wish I were you, Kate," exclaimed Annette, after wo hadypeol half the long summer afternoon chasing butterflies,.and arranging a vegetable baby-house, with hollyhocks for our ladies' parasols, and teapots manufactured out of veritable poppy pods.

In the Hearts of the American People

Wc take the following eloquent passage from the speech of B. Ctratz Brown.editor of the St. Louis Democrat, delivered on the 8th of January; Andrew Jackson-lies buried to day in the grandest sepulchre over vouchsafed to republican President or republican Gene* nil. His tomb is in tbe heart of tho mnl* titude. Tbo masses of his countrymen were the chief monruora at hia funeral, and although a generation has passed away since then.' wo still find that the freshet, flowers that are cast upon his grave, the deepest feelings which tbs echo of bis name awakens, come from tho mass* fa of the people themselves. It is within tho holy precincts of that shrine pi popuJar com me or oration, where neither art, nor wealth,'nor talent, nor genius itself can enter, unless it possess the master key of wide and throbbing sympathy with tho people, and where, admission has been refused to the cold remains of so many, even of the bravo ami virtuous .who have acted well their part in life, that be lies in. state, wrapped in tho double glory of civil and military renown, whilst thousands of voices catch the burden of bis fame and pass tho lofty reqnicm. from age to age. Willim that splendid mausoleum I know of nono other that have received each stately ami majestic rites, unless *t bo those two great men whose names have become parcel of the litburgyof free*. Join in all lands—the one the father of bis country, who wrought dot for ns the first great deliverance from English tyranny, George Washington; the other the fearless and impassioned leader of hia party, the champion of the second war, in pacifying domestic ceditibn—Henry Clay. Many distinguished men have risen to high places in tbo and have been well remembered in tho circles they filled. A long scroll of names, eminent in council and in .war, historians, statesmen, orators, has been enrolled in our progress, but;they stand afar off and enter not that presence, ami may not claim such tribute. Tho three great leaders—representatives respectively of prudence of patriotism and of popular will, rest apart and arc canonized by the whole nation. No sectional repute is theirs—no distraught country signals them aa the false beacon lights that lured It to ruin—no dismembered union, or violated territory, or crushed people can date back to the days they illustrated ns the origin of common calamity. Pure ami proud, and peerless, penetrated with the very gonitis of republicanism, treasuring high ambitions as tbo essence of their swaying impulse,"they failed not each in hia allotted sphere to bend all strength, energy and force to the expansion of that principle ofeqnalliberty which undersrehes the entire fabric of onr government, and (ho iuat recorded act of the life drama of Washington and of Jackson,'and of Clay, wa« a testimony to . their faith thauhumah freedom was a Bobstance ami not a shadow. It was an emancipation of those bn fortunate* who had served them so faithfully and well. But let us curtain in that vast and silent sepulchre,- and not intrude the present, so burdened with portents of ill omen to disturb .calm repose, Dust to dost, earth to earth, haa been spoken of them, and their spirits have;been reclaimed to the infinite from whence they came.

Tho.route near the 41at and -I2d parallel, starts at Council Btnfls, passing through Great Salt Lake Valley to Bona* cia. The distance is 2134 miles. The estimated cost is 8116,095,000. , The Southern route commences at the mouth of Kansas River on the Missouri, and terminates at -San Francisco. The distance is 2030 miles, and the estimated co*t #93,120,000. .''This is cvidently the favorite route of tile War Department. The prejudices in favor of this route seem to have been so strong, as to have given it a character altogether better thanit deserves. All itsgood features seem (6 bo magnified, and its bad ones smoothedj over. For instance/ Vthe arid region' over which the route lies for 1000 mites," is offset by the assertion that "the preparation 1 for the fond bed,'with limited exceptions, throughout the whole distance, has already been made ly nature, u and that "Mis item amounts to from one-half (o three, fourths of the whole cost of a.Jtailroad”

But it is to be hoped that this road, as well as the others, may bo provided for by tber grant of public lands along its line, and by sncli other contingent aid as may be pledgedio the middle and-north-ern routes. This contingent; aid might bo in giving loud on one side of the road instead of alternate’sections, tho companies who construct it to have their choice, the other side to be retained and sold'by the government. If 42 miles in breadth should be given on one side, it would amount, in'round numbers, to 20,880 acres per mile, and.at one dollar and a quarter per acre to $33,600, The usual reservations for' school purposes would reduce it to about 630,000. In connection with this grant of land a price might be fixed for the transportation of the mails, troops and government stores forever; and for privato passengers and freights a limit might bo fixed within which charges should be confined. No estimate of the business is made on any route except the Southern, Imt we may take that for cither the Middle or Northern. Tho highest cost estimate for the Northern is 6150,000,000. This Is probably 830,000,000 too high. , Bnt we will suppose it to bo correct. To make six per cent, dividends on this enm will require $9,000,000. ,Lcl us see what is the prospect of paying it.—The number of passengers between the' Alantic seaports and San Francisco is now sot down at 50,000 annually. It is supposed the road will double the number, which is. not unreasonable. This would give 100,000 over tho railroad, besides the way travel.. 100,000 at 8150 - each', would yield an annual income of 815,000,000. To this add for tha teas and silks ol China, the trade between Ilia Atlantic and Pacific and the trade and- travel between the Atlantic and Japan, and tho other Pacific Islands, and for all other sources, including the mail service, $10,000,060 more, and we have the round sura of 82q,> 000,001)—a stim amply sufficient, without’ the aid from government lands, fo tnako’tho stock the-best Rail Road investment in the w'Orld.
