We shall be disappointed if the Paoifio Skates and .the States this side of the Rooky Mountains shall not unite soon in en ch a demand for a Southern rail? road from the Mississippi River to Cali? fornia es will make itself heard. The experience of this winter must have con? vinced the peoplo of both these grand divisions of the country that the present road is not snob a one os wo need. It has been blooked up by snow for weeks at a time. Important letters, orders for money, orders for goods, passeugers from the Eastern continent, Govern? ment officials, and We know not who and what else, have been snowed in among tho barren hilts and valleys thut make up tho immense territory lyiDg between Omaha and the Western boundary of California. The loss to the business men of the Northern States, particu? larly thoBo of New York, Chicago aud St. Louis, muat have been immenso. We have felt some pride in the Panino Railroad as a magnificent evidence of the enterprising spirit of our peoplo. It is unquestionably a grand work. Rut we have not been insensible to the fuot that it was built upon the luast-favorod line of the three or four which had beon surveyed, or wore known to Congress, when its construct iou was ordered. From all nooouuts, the route from Miutiosota to Puget's Sound is less liable to ob? struction by snow. Congress seems to have chosen a route that cannot bo ri? valed for disndvautuges. Lot this be us it may, there is no doubt that the route through Texas is one upon which the first road should have boen constructed. Itu trains will not bo stopped u Bingle day in the year by suowi Its grudcu will bo HO good that tho cost of its con? struction will bo muon less than was that of thu road already finished. It will also pass overa more fertile country. There is a Hcborau now on foot for building a railroad direct from New York, by tho shortest possible route, to Western Texas. There it will intersect the road to tho Pacifie that ia destined soon to be constructed, aud which will be patronized by all travelers in tho winter season. Tho Chesapeake and Ohio Rood will bo on exactly thu right lino also to catch homo of tho trade, und travel from tho new truns-coutinental road. Tho next Congress will be iu tho bauds of the South uud the West, aud will provide for tho building of this new road. It is a disgrace to Congress thut it should have allowed its prejudices against thc Southern peoplo to iuliueuou it to pass by thu bout route und build a road over tho worst. Rut nature is stronger thau Congress. She lins hud her revengo this winter. The rigors of a Siberian climate have dumuged the re? putation of tho present road lo such un extent as that it would take m tiny snow less winters to restore public confidence in it. When wu ruad of u traiu delayed tweuty-eight days, or even for ten days, by drifting suow, wo understand that that region must be a land of desolation in the wiuter season. Tho Texas route will be free from all objections growing out of a severo climate. Tho sooner u ! new road is built the bettor for thc coun? try.- Hie South, New York. ARRESTS.-Ou Thursday night last,fat tho burning of the stable of Mr. Jen? nings, two men, Frederick Allen, white, and Charles Gm, oulored, were arrested on suspicion of being engaged as princi? pals or accessories in our rscent fires, und have been committed to jail. No official examination hus yet been made, but there uro ample reasons for the be? lief that on? or both are guilty, and such is the established assn ranee of the officers having them in custody. When they were firat taken iu charge by Sheriff Southern, so strong aro tho circum? stances indicating their complicity, that tho crowd could scarcely bo restrained from lynching them. Our people have boen alarmed ai the frequency of fires that .havo occurred of late, which has given a deep fooling of uneasiness to tho eutiro city. Tho re? flection that pervades one's mind, upou retiring at night, that before daylight comes ho may be aroused only to esoupo with his lifo from the dangers of fire, or that the next morning's sun may shine on the ruins of tho roof that afforded his family shelter from thu wiud and rains, or that his store, shop or office may as suddenly disappear, is anything but one tending to composure and quiet. Such is a fair description of the disquiet and restlessness under which we are now living, as no one knows whore the incen? diary's torch will next be applied lo send up lurid flames.

DISTRESSING OCCURRENCE.-On Satur? day last, 9th instant, an occurrence transpired in our city which carried thrilling bereavement to the heans of two aged paronts, besides a largo circle of acquaintances. Mr. Duncan Brooks, soo of Capt. J. W. Brooks, having pro? cured a vial of laudanum, drank of it in sufficient quantity to produce death, which took place about 12 o'olock the same night. It is the confirmed opinion of those knowing him best and most in? timately, that at the time the deed was committed, he was laboring under u se? vere attack of aberration, produced by long continued and excessive uso of ardent spirits. As soon as the fatul act became known, Dr. S. S. Marshall was summoned, who made every effort to save his life, bnt with no avail. Tho deceased was about twenty-four years old.

In this vicinity, the houses of the following persous were utterly demolished: Solo? mon Thoreau, Edwin Tyner. Jumes Johnsou, the kitchen of Constant Ste? vens; also, tho house* of Jerome Barton, colored, and April Pons, colored. The daughter-in-law of the last was killed, aud his sou wounded. The wifo of a oolored mau, named Wiggins, was killed; she was found entirely divested of her clothing by the fury of the wind. Seve? ral othors in the neighborhood are re? ported killed. Macy other houses iu the same vioinity were blown down, and many other persons are wounded, and, doubtless, some aro killed, who, iu the short time that has elapsed, cannot bo reported from so thinly settled a region, darts were lifted bodily and thrown long distances, aud in immy instances shi? vered to pieces. In ono instance, thu tiro-bauds wore turu off, and one tiro was found wrapped rouud tho trunk of a trco like tho coil of u rope. Immense pine trees were turu up by thu roots aud j curried iu every direction. Of fencing j destroyed, tho quantity in the same neighborhood is an immense item. Tho whirl circled North-east toward the St. John's River, where it struck the dwelling of one of tho foremen of the St. John'? lumber mill, Mr. Godfrey. It WUK a uew und pretty dwelling, erected alter tho modern style, but of light tim? b?is. Thc family were unhoused iu o few moments, aud Mr. G., his wife and wife's bister so much injured as to re? quire immediate medical attendance from Jacksonville. Fortunately, no ono was killed there, bu! tho demolition of tho house is entire. A colored mau was also killed nour the sumo place. These are the priucipul casualties reported up to this time.

A YOUNO LADY, DISQUISED AS A UAH, JOINS TUB KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS.-The Scranton Times bas an account of a great excitement among the Knights of Pythias of that place. A nioe looking person, yoong and genteel, came to Scranton a few months ago, giving the name of Franois Williams. He became acquainted at the boarding houso with several members of thu Knights of Pythias Lodge, aud Moally expressed hin desire to joiu. He was proposed, weut through the usual rou? tine, woe elected, received the Page's degree, made a favorable impression, advanced to the second degree, end waa duly prepared for the third or Knight's degree, but in a certain part of the work an accident disclosed to al! thc officers and members present that they had been initiating and giving the degrees of the order to a woman! The members were startled and nonplussed, and for a long while silence reigned. No one know what to do. It was finally agreed that she should be kept ander supervision until the Worthy Grand Ohanceilor be heard from. A Frenchman, writing to the Oaulion, gives an account of his uensations while hanging himself, whioh may be of bene? fit to persons of a suicidal turn of mind, and who would like to know "what the thing is like." As if preparing to hung up his coat, ho drove u nail into the wall, and therefrom suspended him? self by a loop cord, which he fastened about his neck, and then slowly kicked away his chair. From the crown of his head to the soles of his feet ho felt a "general mixing up of tba fluids of the body." This was succeeded by a flash? ing, dancing light before his eyes, and then concentrated at a single focus, and thence rippled into space in concentric circles. His head seemed compressed in au iron ring; needles without number seemed to dart from the cuds of his lingers and toes; then there was a terri? ble snapping at tho nape of his neck, and u serpent seemed to wriggle down his spine.
