Bnt (he Montgomery (Ala. ) Mail, on the other hand, suggosts, "Lot our motto, in anticipation of the next Presidential canvass, be, 'Patience, Prudence and Pendleton.1 " The question is, therefore, which is tho hotter mot? to, "the two H's" or "tho throe P's." -It appears that the Missouri Legslature "was in too big a hurry about the ratification ol the suffrage amendment. Some one telegraph "'Mikair/hA "."^, ....-gaayai thy --t: _ and the l?gislature does not reassemble until next year.

He was a Creole Frenchman, but was born in tho United States. He lived b; rule, and was very abstemious, drinking nothing but water. He wed to say that he bad a secret of longevity whiob he bought of a gipsey woman when he was a sail? or, and he thought he should live to be a hun? dred.

Money, it is said, pours in by millions, and whatever the music may be, there is certain to be a mighty noise, and dowds of enthusiastic spectators, and a me? morable celebration altogether. The exercises . are to be held in an iron amphitheatre, to bo erected f jr the purpose. The festival proper Will last about a week, but the building will stand for at least a month, and be used during that time for monster concerts, oratorios, and -similar decorous jollifications. The middle of ' June is the time fixed for the opening. .-The later mails from Hayli bring the for . mal document prepared by the leaders of the insurrection there, placing the "rebel" Pio visional Government and Hayti itself under .., the protection of the United States. This pa? per, soon after its adopton by the "rebel" Gov? ernment, fell into the bands of Salnave. It bas just reached this country. It is a little singular that the insurrectionists were, until they offered this protectorate to thc United States, bitterly opposed to tho annexation of the island to this country, and denounced both Salnave and Baez for favoring annexation. The Independence d'Hayti, tbe "rebel" organ, declared that "tho Haytieo is prepared to bury himse'if under the ruins of hts couutry rather than lose his nationality!" A great thing is such a uationabty to bo buried for ! But even now lue .Haytien proposes to give it away. A great country is Hay:i ! -Fernando Po, where the prisoners of state in Cuba are to be conveyed, is an islaud, forty four miles long and twenty miles broad, situat? ed on the weat coast of Africa, in tho Bight of Bhfra, ab rat twenty miles from tho nearest point of tho main land. Fernando Po is in latitude about three degrees thirty minutes north, is traversed by a mounlain ridge, which atClaronco Peak rises to tho. height of 10,650 feet, or over two miles; ia fertile, well watered and thickly wooded. It contains, in a state of nature, largo flocks of Ke,ats and sheep, and swarms of monkeys of great siz\ The climate, excessively hot at all times, be? comes intolerable during the rainy season, when a pestilential wind blows from the conti? nent of Africa. The native population consists of twelve thousand negroos, inhabiting fifteen villages. The English Government, between 1827 and 1834, made an attempt to form a .coloy, but failed. In 1844, Spain again took possession and established a penal settle? ment. -A Washington telegram of Tuesday even? ing, to the Baltimore Sun, says: "The fact that President Grant gave way a little to the pres? sure to-day, ard sent in a few nominations of .gome importance, is regarded by many ss sig nificant of tho carly adoption by the Pres'J mt ot'a moro moderate policy in relation to the office questnn. It has somehow become a ni at: er of common report that tho President aucl Senato are engaged in a serious quarrel, aud the fact has been impressed upon the President's mind by senators calling on him. It was said to-day, upon good authority, that all such reports were exaggerations of the facts. There is no ill-feeling displayed in the present controversy over the proposed repeal of the Civil Tenure bill, except v?hat is exhibi? ted among the senators, and there is good 1 reason to believe that a suspension of the law I in question until the expiration of General > Grant's (erm will meet his approval. Tbs , President has decided, it is said, to send in nominations for vacancies that the welfare ot th. government service require should be 1 filled." _' CHARLESTON. FRIDAY MORNING, MARCH 26, 1869. A Hoad to the Pacific. The New York Tribune devotes a leading artiole to a description of the route trav? ersed by the Memphis, El Paso and Pacific ' Railroad, and of the resources and charac? ter of the country through which it will pass. This is the road in favor of which L resolutions have been adopted by the i Legislature of the State. We do not know what may be the personal ' interests of the members of Congress from " South Carolina, and whether the Northern or the Southern route, or either, will have their support; but we are sure that no , measure can be found whose adoption by Congress will be more advantageous to tho I whole South and to this State than the rsil 1 road of which we speak. Apart from the 1 intrinsic merits of the project, which alone should secure its success, it must be re L membered that the South has a right to de? mand some consideration at the hands of r Congress. This consideration wo may claim, not as a matter of love or favor, but ' because Southern cotton is the main prop ' of the whole financial system of the United States; because the cotton bale alone stands between the United States and something i very like bankruptcy. We may not be in : a position to obtain at this moment all that we require, and content ourselves now with 1 urging Congress to pass the bill for the ? construction of the Memphis, El Paso and 1 Pacific Railroad-which strikes tho Pacific , coast at about the same latitude as Charles ; ton or r'avatmah <m the Atlantic. Tho Tribune says : [ "A Pacifie railway that asks no money from . Congress, that oucountora no great mountains i in its route, and is liable to no interruptions from snows, is a thing so different from our previous experiences in that lino as to de I serve thc most respectful consideration. That . any practical Pacific railway deserves what? ever encouragement we can afford is gonarally believed. That tho success of thi3 one would bo of srocial value in opening up vast tracts of fertile land, not less than in knitting together remote regions of the republic, seems to us plain. And when it comes before Congress, asking little beyond the continuation of its old ' privileges and tho right of way, the advantages to be gained so far outweigh what is asked in rnti- -~ *~ aBflSMatatj laaai--a?casafaX **.? "The proposed road is no new thing. It was ? incorporated by tho State of T?xss prior to 1861, and endowed with eight and one-third i million acres of land. A hundred and filly i miles of it were under contract before the wai; 1 sixty-five miles were ready for the rails; for fifty miles the iron had been purchased; a mil? lion and a half in all had been expended, wben the war stopped everything at the South but raising food and fighting. Now it is proposed to Bave that million and a half, resume opera rations as soon as Congress will assure the right of way, and press forward the road. Its comparatively short route hes along the south? ern border of the ceJein half of our territo I ry-stretching from the northeast corner of Texas, through the whole breadth of that em? pire in itself, resting midway between its op? posite termini at El Paso, near the northwest i ern corner of Texas, on the Rio Grande de' Norte, and thence finding its easy passage through Southern Arizona and California to the bay of San Diego. It thus strikes the Pacific coast at about the same latitude as Charleston or Savannah on the Atlantic, and connects it with the Red River and tho Missis? sippi by a route that opens the richest of our cotton growing regions, and that never leaves a climate where flowers can bo found growing in every month in the yoar. "A little over one-half of the entire length of the road bes within the State of Texas. At Jefferson, the head of navigation on the Red River, it connects through Shreveport and Vicksburg, and through Little Rock and Mem? phis, with our wholo railroad system. Froni Jefferson to El Paso, on the westside of Texas, the length of its route is eight hundred miles; from El Paso through Arizona to the Pacific is only six hundred and fifty more. Tho first half of this route is through a country of surprising fertility. Those rich plains of Northern Texas are capable of putting 50,000,000 bushels of wheat into market a month ahead of tho supply from any other State ia tho Union, or of producing four timos tho amount of cotton hitherto furnished by the wholo cotton grow? ing region of the United States. Immense beds of coal, iron and copper are found along this part of tho lino, and lead and silver of great riobnoss are coming to light in the west? ern counties. El Paso, which is to ba the mid? way station on the line, is the objoctive point for tho Mexican railroads already chartered, and is destined to bo an important interior city. From El Paso, through a strip of New Mexico and Arizona to Fort Yuma, at thc mouth of the Gila, the road keeps for the whole distance within thc ordinary working grade of oighty feet, and within only a hundred feet when it passes the summit elovatioas, for a short dis? tance, between Fort Yuma and San Diego. Of this part of tho Hue tho Commissioner of Hie General Land Oflicc, in his report for 1S03, says that "throughout this whole extent of "country the remains of former cultivation "and evidences of civilization are to bo found, "ruins of ancient cities.* and cathedrals existing "LU many places, while traces of former irriga "ting canals ocour in every direction, extend? ing even into the donsost part of tho forest." The valleys produce wheat, corn, cotton and grapes, and along tho southern lino aro now highly cultivated fields of grain and sugar cane, with apples, peaches, apricots, pomegranates, figs, grapes, lemons and oranges, in tho same garden. Westward from El Paso to the 112th meridian, thc soil of the levels and tho bills is everywhere good, andovcrywhero covered with a luxuriant growth of nutritious grass. Wherever thero is water the whole region has unsurpassed advantages for stock-raising in character and quantity of the grasses, the mild winters, and the freedom from flies and mua quitoes. The abandoned town3 and remains of largo grazing establishments, some of which ore said to have bad a hundred thousand h ead of cattle and horses, show what the capacities of the country are to support prosperous set tlemcLts, if they can be protected from the Indians, and this has been abundantly illus? trated sinco the American occupatio" by tho rapid prosperity of those parts of tho territory which have enjoyed protection. "From the Rio del Nort? westward to the Lower Gila, the traveller may so run his course as to pass entirely over plains-thc prairies of this region-differing slightly in elevation, and generally SOOff to 4000 feet above the level of the sea. Water-generally to bo had only in the streams and the springs at thc base of the mountains-can be obtained here by sinking wells at no great depth. In bis last message to the Legislature of Arizona, Governor Mc? Cormick strongly sets out the fertility of these plains, and recommends that provision bo made for procuring water by siuking wells, which he says will make this country blossom like the rose. West of the 112th meridian tho road line crosses what is called the Colorado desert, by way of the Gila River, and thence from Fort Yoma to San Diego its conree is through Southern California, which partakes here of the general character of that rich and beauti? ful State. The noble harbor of San Diego, which forms the Pecific terminas of this road, is second on the Pacific eoast only to that of San Francisco. "Of the ultimate value of a railroad to tho Pacific, on this route, we have no doubt. Be? fore tho war Congress had granted to the Memphis and El Paso Company valuable fran? chises. Now it asks little beyond right of way. Its managers embrace gentlemen of national reputation and undoubted capacity and respon? sibility; they are confident of success, and the fact that they ask so little, while others have been asking so much, must weigh heavily in their favor."
