The Pathway of the Future. . c BT QKETIS JOHNSON CLARK. There's ? pathway In tho future That sur feet must firmly tiead? Will the sky be bright with sunshine, .. ,., Or will clouds hang overhead ? Onee I asked this simple question, Bnt the Future'.} lips were dumb, VJ Keening as its own the secret ? f Or the years that are to come. Then I aeked the sunbeams, playing Hide and seek upon the tloor? "Merry sunbeams, will you promieo To stay with me evermore V But the sunbeams out tho window Slyly crept without a word; Long I listened, but heard nothing Save the leaves the light wind stirred. Then the moon and stars I questioned? Would thty make tho ftiture bright ? But they gave me b&ck to answer, Only twinkled down their light. Then I bowed my head in sorrow, Wl... tk. r ., . accomplished, tho former being seventeen 1 and tho latter nineteen years of age. j An old gentleman remarked the other day that in 1776, wo went to war on ac- < count of tho Stamp Act, and got the nig- > ger; while in 1861, we went to war about i the nigger and got. the Stamp Act < Pacific Railroads. Amoug the greet enterprises of the ego which eppeer to hare boon lost sight of among the more ezoiting topics that have occupied publio attention, are the various railroads i hat have been projeeted and are now reaching their irou fingers across the western prairies to the Paoifio coast. Contending with obstacles that would have frightened men of any other ago, the engineers ol those roads are pushing bravely forward at the rule of about three q larters of a mile per day. So earnest are the contractors of one of these railroads?the Union Pacific?which travels west from Omaha, that they contemplate providiug artificial lights to expedite the werk by night as well as da}*, so as to complete if possible two miles every twenty lour hours. Two passenger cars and one hundred and uinclec. box and p at form oars, are by this time running ono hundred m.les west of the above named town. When completed it is believed that this Uuiou Pucifiio Railroad will become a feeder, as well as a receiver ot trade and business of no ordinary magnitude, ana it is no stretch of tticiuiagiuatiou to suppose that the tonnage of this great national highway will, at no distant day, consist largely of the precious ores from the mineral districts of our western States and territories sent to the eastern States, where cheap fuel, cheap labor, and improved machinery will be used for their smcltiug and refining. The development of this rich mineral domaiu must enure to the welfare of the nation, borne dowu as it is by a tremendous debt, but if the same amount of capital and liberal spirit were bostowed upon the development of the agricultural resources of the South, the amount of wealth that would be poured into tlic cotfcrs of the country would be three fold as gieat as that likely to resuit from these national pet undertakings known as Union and I'acitio railroads.? Carolinian. Mr. H. Rivera Pollard and Mr. Saml. James, brother in law of Mr. E. A. l'ollnrd, have had some difficulty in Richmond. From the accounts published, both of these gentlemen tussled together before they were scpurated. when according to Mr. James* version he was followed down stairs by the wash bowl, a pair of long?, &e. Mr. Pollard publishes a card in his Examiner of the 27 th, in which he says : "1 now post him as a liar, poltroon and coward. Sam Jnmes is further informed that the above card will be posted by nte in all the holds of the city, and other public places, between the hours ofO and 10 o'clock this morning." M. Melsens, a French chemist, has found lhaL tobaccos from various countries contain licotino in very different proportions. In to tacco from 6ouio parts of France there is 7.06 >or cent, of uicotinc, whilst Havana tobacco ioutains only 2 per cent. IIo proposes to unokcrs a way of preserving them from the iffects of tho alkaloid, by putting into thctubo >f tho pipo or segar holder, a little ball of coton, impregnated with citrio and tannio acids. \s the smoke passes through tho cotton, it rill rl.nn.il I I,a ni-tin- <1 i- I .. .1 1 ?v|/waiv ViAV. uivuimu IUC1UIU 1U 111U auapo if (annate and citrate.

An Enpflne, with three cars, was thrown off the track, in consequence of some injury to the trestle work, ibout one milo and a half this sido of Alston. The trains ran up ycsterdity as usual, perhaps vith only two or three hours delay. The dainige to the road was repaired yesterday. All s right again. ? Columbia Daily Patriot. Salt Cuimnkys.?In building a chimuey, lut a quantity of salt into the mortar with shich the intercourses of brick nro to he laid. The effect will be that there will never bo any iccuuiulation of soot in that chimney. Tho philosophy is thus stated : "The salt in the portion of mortar which is exposed, absorbs noisture from the atmosphere every damp day. Tho soot thus becoming damp, falls down to he fire-place. This appears to bo an English discovery. It is used with success in Canada. Genehai. Hampton.?A correspondent of the Memphis Argus, writing from Egg's Point, Mississippi, says : ?'Ten or twelve miles below ticrc, at Lnke Washington, lives Lieutenant General Wade Hampton, the second greatest | ;avalry chieftain of the Into Confederacy.

He represents mat- i .era as quiet in Texas, though lie does not re gard the people us loyal now as they were one pear ago. The cotton crop, lie states, would , iiavo heen very large in t .0 State, had it not been lor tho recent heavy floods, which have destroyed at least one half of it. lie further idds that the lrco labor system is working well. Renewed efforts are in progress for tho re- ^ lease of Jefferson Davis from his prison house it Fortress Monroo lix Governor Pratt and some of his counsel had an interview with tno President, to day. Tliey represented that a release on hail, or on parole, or a change of air, was absolutely indispensable to the health of the prisoner- Horace Greeley has written another strong letter urging the President to release Mr. Davis. The Unito.l States Senate was engage.1 on ho 21st, in consideration of the Consolidated Tax Bill, and made very good progress on the neasurc. The House concluded tho consideration of the new Army Bill, which was then | passed. Yeas 72; nays 41. It provides for a naximum of f>0,U00. It is said that bail to the amount of two uiil- j liou dollars ran be procured in Baltimore for Mr. Davis, in five hours.
