*T!IE PACIFIC RAILROAD/* 4 Jt is very probable that at an enrly day of the nest Congress, the question of a railroad from some point on the Mississippi to the Pacific Ocean, will be brought forward in real good earnest. Public and priyaip interests—the progress of enterprise*- in every and all shapes, demand a railroad connection between the East and the West that is, a direct communication between the Mississippi and the shores of the Pacific. The attention of Congress has bc-en called to this subject for sometime past. During the present season the question has been much mooted over the country. The old objection of unconstitutionality is fast yielding to the progress of the times, and the necessity and expediency of the case. The old Whig doctrines, at least, so far as they may bear on this question of a railroad to 'V* Pacific, are conceded as quite sound.

So much so, that we believe the present administration is committed fairly in favor of

the great enterprise. The Secretaries the Treasury and War, have publicly declared for the road and the President has nod ded assent. The Washington Union, the Government paper acquiesces. So all con atitutional difficulties may be considered now so far removed as to oppose but slight, if any obstacle in the way. Con gross will bo doubt be called upofi to make a road, or to grant the right with complete powers to privato companies, with the aid of government lands sufficient to secure the full consummation of the great work.— It I* said that government owns upwards of a thousand millions of acres of public domain West of the Mississippi. This great amount of land can only bo made available through the means of public improvements —mainly through one or more extended systems of railroads. It would be the policy of government to grant such a portion of its unoccupied, ar.d at present, useless lands, for the purpose of'building railroad, os 'may be proper to bring the balance into a profitable market. This, Congress are be ginning to see—and the rest of mankind besides. But where shall the points be]

Where shall be the starling from the Mississippi river? It is said the proposed line from and through Texas will be the shortest and will have the support of General Rusk. The Missouri route from St. Louis will havo Col. Benton for Its great champion. This line would measuro some seventeen hundred miles. There will still bo a more Northern lino proposed, and also one between tho St. Louis and Texas points, having the head waters of the Arkansas «b a probable starting place. Again it may be thought advisable to authorize two or more lines simultaneously. At al! events, we look to this great measure aar ono likely to come prominently and promptly before Congress. The whole country is becoming greatly Interested. Besides the inter-, nal benefits to accrue, there arc others of weighty consideration. Such as tho extensive opening to foreign commerce,«nd the facilities afforded in the transportation of troops and amunitions of war in the case of hostility with some foreign powers. As in case of war, of course, the Pacific coast would have to be guarded and protected ad effectually as any other portion of the country. So far as regards locality, we havo but little doubt that St. Louis will be made the starting place for this great Hue of railroad. At least for ono of the routes, should there be more than One finally settled upon. But as nothing can be considered certain as to tho location of this railroad, where so many interests are concerned, and so many projects proposed, it might bo well for our section of the eoun'ry to take immediate meas-

urea with the view of securing, if possible,.

the St. Louis and Missouri route* Terre Haute is particularly interested in this subject, for our town will most certainly be on tho great Atlantic and Pacific line, should the St. Louis route be finally adopted. Un*

REWARD.—By Handbills circulated round the country we learn that JOHN MEWHINNEY recently charged with the murder of his Father, and admitted to bail, has disappeared, and the sum of $200, offered for his apprehension and delivery to the Sheriff of Vigo. ~~~~~~~

OCT The St, Louis Republican says, assuming that Jackson is defeated, the delegation from Missouri in the next Congress will stand:

In the Senate-—one Whig and one Democrat, Geyer and Atchison. In the House-—four Whigs, Miller, Caruthers, Oiover and Lindly—two Democrat*, Phelps and Lamb, and one Benton man, Benton himself.

Tho StrHftburg- clock*

Tho priest and military have retired, nnd I nm now sitting in chuiir facing the gigantic clock—from tho bottom to the top not less than one hundred Feet, and mnny strangers nre wnning to seo the working of this clock when it Strikes iho hour of noon. Every eyo is upon the clock, it now wants five minutes to twelve.-'The clock has struck, and the feop!e are gono, except few whom the sextonvor head man, with wand and a svvorcl, is fcondueiing around the building. The clock is struck In this way: The dial Is some twenty feet from the floor, on each side of which is a cherub or a little boy with mnllet, and over the dial there is a small bell. Tho cherub on tho left strikes tho firsl quarter, and tho one on the right the sccond quarter. Some fifty feet over the dinl, in a lurge niche, Is a huge .re of Time, a bell in his left, a scythe in his right hand. In front stuftds a figure of young man with a mallet, who srikes the third quarter on the belhin tho hand of Time, and thert glides with a slow step round— behind Time out comes an old man, raises his mallet, and places himself in front of him. As the hour of twelve comes, the old man raises his mnllet and deliberately strikes twelve times on the btll, that echoes through the building,

0T»d

heard round tho region of the

church. Then the old man glides slow, ly behind Father Time, and the young man comes round again. Soon as the old man has struck twelve and disap peared, another set of machinery is jiut in motion, some twenty feet higher still

walks out from behind, comes out in from, facing the cross, and walks round to his place. As he does so, another comes out in front, turns, bows and passes in so twelve apostles, figures as large as life, walk around, bow, and pass on. As the last appears, an enormous cock, perehed on the pinnacle d* the deck, slowly flaps his wings three times, so loud as to be heard outside the church to some distance, and so naturally as to be mistaken for a real cr^ck. Then ail is as sUent as death. N» wonder this clock is the admiration of Europe. It was made in 1500, and fans performed these mechanical wonders ever since, except about fifty years, when it was oof of repair

Gravitation, with all her immensity, wrought nosuch lovely work as token she mouthed a tear}' and raethinks as the crystal drop rolled tremblingly from its little cell, it wondered much that one so rare and delicate, 'should find a resting place in a world so Trail, so sinful. Pure as the fount whence issued the sparkling gem, it sought a companionship rather with the bright atid holy seraphs, than with the erring creatures^ ^^"*1 of this lower world.

'Tvvas that thou niight'st become one of the guardian angels to poor benighted man. To bid ni*n look to a World on high where tears are forever dry where He, the great and the good, is the joy and the light of his ransomed and loved. Then cease thy grievings, precious little tear, ar.d know that thy-Father .was wise and good in sending thee to-this Abandoned and sinful world. For amid all tears there may be joy, and high and holy the motive which bids thee start from thy hidden nook. The glistening pearl is not more precious than the holy tear of Charity.

Gentle friend, hast thou not sdme little memento of affection, long and carefully preserved, as a silent monitor, reminding thee of the loved companion of thy youth ful hours, now passed from earth away!— And when thou lingerest with fond emotion o'er this faithful remembrance, bracing now the many links in the golden chain of the past, doth not memory claim a tear# "When Memory lifts the veil of by-gone years, And spreads her long-loved pictures to my v,iew gaze on her enchantment—and the tears Which dim my si&ht, prove my emotions true,"

And hast thou not some twining curl-^-sweet relic of thy fair young friend, who left thy side e'er thou had'st learned her worth and dost not now some pearly teardrop glisten in those silken wreaths) Ah, yes! a tear is gently falling now its couch, that treasured lock of hair. ,/^*^'] "Oh, sunny trees!

But no! Such seems not to be the fate of the crystal gem for the shades of eve capt .their long shadows around, .and yet the muiden skepeth. Now tho lustrous orbs^ which strid the blue arch above, are peeping forth, looking down into this little Elysium here below. They seem to smile and bid their* sister stars to, look also.

Behold yon hir-ofF morning star, and a flood of light Is breaking o'er it, while the cherub minstrel descends and winging his way to the maiden's side, we perceive that he bears a vase of the clearest, hue, and quickly gathering up these sparkling drops and striking anew his golden harp, slowly wends his Way homeward. But we fain would knotv the design and the end of thrs holy mission, and the Angel again is at our side, and we hear him whisper. Each shining tear,shall g'isten more brightly in the unfading garland we are weaving for the maiden's brow, and if yon would know the name, of this costly wreath, take it in this:— "Bright are the golden drops in the rainbow of Hope sparkling the diamonds of mirth in the eye of Youth, but purer and more previous art the holy pearls in the coronet qf Faith."

A Locomotive Village.—The Illinois Journal says that a new plan of accommodating laborers on railroad improvements is practised on the Chicago and Mississippi Railroad. The enure work* ing force on this road is one hundred persons, who Ifve in care fitted up for the purpose of boarding the men, and are pushed along as the rail* are laid— thus securing the advantage of having the men always near their work. This locomotive boarding house or village comprises fiften large covered cars, with all the necessary conveniences for cooking, eating, and sleeping. They carry the etaws along—they graze alongside, and are pot in their stalls when the tocomotive village changes ground.

'That's fair,' shouted tho crowd and off went Ned, with a committee of eight, over across, and up into, the steeple.— The crowd was watching the open space by the bell, and in about three minutes after the party entered the church, Ned's cocoanut was seen bobbing up and t|own in the belfry like adandyjnek. It was evdent to all that he jumped up there! 'Sold, by thunder!' said the two-to one gentleman, and sloped. •Taken in and done for!', exclaimed sporting gentleman, number two. iGive it up!' yelled four-m/one, and cut stick. •Fairly won!'sung out every body, in chorus: and as Nod made hisappearAnce in the street, the crowd gave him thtee cheers, and dispersed.

The stake-holders handed over the money to Ned, and we adjourned with the old merchant to his store, where we made a fair division of the windings all round, after which the old fox told as that he had an idea in his head, onee of trying that very game. '|.

The Washington tJtiion iiccoses'^he Whigs of "Changing threir programme of measures.'. The truth is, there ifn't a solitary measure denounced by the Locofoeos as a Whig measure which has not, within our distinct recollection, been supported by the Democracy. The old United States Bank is no exception.— The bank, assailed by Gen. Jackson, was supported by the entire Democracy. We-well remember when our eloquent fellow-citizen,Charlas M.Thrnsrton Esq. was beaten by Mr. Jsttiee Guthrie fotr the Legislature, the principal objection urged against him being that he had, in a private convention, made a remark disparaging to the United States Bank! This was considered an unpardonable sin, and Shadrach Penn's Advertiser, the organ at that time of all the Locofocoism to these parts, expatiated most vehemently upon the enormous guiltiness of the man who could say a word, even in a careless private talk, against an itfstitutien so necessary as Nick Biddle*s hank to the prosperity of the country.—Lou.

These were given, but they were even more difficult to underhand than the original expositions. At last the German, losing all patience, lifted up his hands and exclaimed, with solemn emphasis: "Mine Got! forgive Chri^tophSr Columbus for ever discovering America!"
