A ?ooTHKBH RAILROAD TO THE PAOIFIO.
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. His venorsble father, near eighty
five years of age, and his estimable
mother, oepecially, have the s i noa re con?
dolence of every one, in this sore nflLc

GREAT DESTRUCTION OF lara AND PUO
PEBTY.- A correspondent ol the Havan
nah Republican, ander date of Jackson
Tille, Marah ll, 1872, writes:
On the night of Saturday lost, the
9th instant, one of the most severe
storms that ever ooourred in the vanity
of Jackson ville was experienced, do far
as ut present reported,' in its severest
aspect, it took the form of a whirlwind',
commeooiug near MoQirt's Greek, about
six in?es South-west of Jacksonville,
thenoe passing Northward to tho settle?
ments near the railroad, where it seemed
to centre its destructive forces. 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?

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.
HEAVY SUIT AGAINST THE RICHMOND

United States iu chancery, to foreclose a

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

A Frenchman, writing to the Oaulion,

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
