A Raltway THROUGH THE PYRENEES.—The London Times, speaking of the successful com- pk tion of t Spanish railway across the Py- Tenees, says:—On the 2ist of August, 1862, the first railway n, drawn by locomotive en- fines, crossed the chain of the Cantabrian Py- renecs, over the northern division of the Tu- cela and Bilboa Railroad, from the seaport of Kilboa to the town of Miranda, gn the Ebro. The distance from the Bilboa to Miranda is about 66 English miles, of which more than 40 miles are in ascending from the coast to the sum. mil, which is 2,163 feet above the sea, being the lowest passin the whole ze of the Pyrenees, ‘The northern slopes are almost invariably steep. Here the difficulties to be overcome are concen- trated, In the present case they have been sur- mounted by winding along the shoulders of the mountains, with heavy works of excavation, tunneling and embankments, until the railway resembles a turnpike road more than such @ line as is usually considered should be made to enable a locomotive engine to travel over it with speed and safety, and dragging heavy loads. The average rate of ascent from the sea is 54 feet per mile; the maximum is 76 feet. The predominant curvature has a radius of; 300 yards only, and the curves are constantly reversing. There are two points on the line at the entrance of the Concha, or Basin of Ordi- ma (the ancient capital of the province of Bis- cay), distant only 600 yards apart measured horizontally across the neck or gorge of the ba- sin, which are distant fully eight and 4 half miles {rom each other in traveling along the line, and which differ 456 feet in level. AN INAPPROPRIATE TRACT.—The follow! anecdote is related at the hospital at Nashville: | A soldier whose legs had been carried away above the knees by a cannon ball, and who had been longa patient in the hospital, one day, while sitting up in bed, asked the nurse: «When will those tract distributors be around again?” “To-day,” said she, “When they come I would like something to read,” he added. A colpor- teur citine in the afternoon and made a hasty distribution of tracts, giving one to each bed without stopping to read. the titles or to see the fitness of the selection. The poor fellow who had lost his legs received a little four page message, and began to read with great eager- ne The nurse, noticing his interest, stole up behind him to see the subject of the tract,when, to hcr astenishment, she read the followin; title: “The Evil Effects of Modern Dancing.” Kepressing her laughter, she said to the man: “ That tract is hardly suited to your condi- tion.” * Well, madam,” he replied, “to tell you the truth, 1 think my dancing day’s are about over.’ Dr.atTu Cavern BY EXTRACTING A Toots.

I feel certain, however, that up to end of the line which was at my litter, and to that of my aides- de-camp, not a single musket was fired. As there was no firing on our side, it was ‘easy for the troops to approach and mingle with ours; and, when I wus told that they wished to dis- arm us, I replied that the men might disarm themselves. The intentions of my companions were, however, so little hostile, that I only by This disarmed in the crowd some officers and regular soldiers. “It was notsoon our right. The Picciotti, attacked by the regular troops, replied by a fire upon the whole line, and, although the trumpet sounded to cease firing, there was at that spot a smurt fusilade, which lasted not more than a quarer of an hour. “My wounds led to some confusion in our line. Our soldiers, not seeing me, began to retreat into the wood, so that little by little the crowd round me broke up, and the most faithful alone remained. At this moment I learned that my siaff and Celonel Pailavicino, who com- mznded the regular troops, were negotiating upon the following considerations: First, that I should be free with my staff to withdraw where I pleased; (I replied, ‘On board an Eng- lish vessel;') second, that, having arrived at shore, the restof my eompanions should et at liberty. Colonel Pallivicine conducted himself as a yaloreus and intelligent chief in all his military movements, and he has not beea wanting in respect or courtesy towards me and my people. He showed his grief in having to tory orders and had to obey them. Y arrangements had been purely defensive, and I had hoped to avoid a conflict, seeing the very strong position that I occupied, and en- tnining the hope that the regular troops had ceived orders less sanguinary. If I had not been wounded at the outset, and if my people bad not received the order under all cireun- stances to avoid any collision whatever with | the regular troops, the contest between men of the same race would have been terrible. However, far better as it is. Whatever | may be the result of my wounds, what- ever fate the Government prepares for me, I haye the consciousness of haying done my | duty; and the sacrifice of my life isa very littie thing if it has contributed tosave that of agreat | number of my fellow countrymen. «In the hazardous enterprise in which I and | my companions had thrown ourselves, with heads bent, I hoped nothing good from the Government of Rattazzi. But why should I not have hoped for less rigor on the part of the King, haying altered in nothing the old pro- gramme, and having decided not to alter it at any price! What afflicts me most is this fatal distrust, which contributes not a_ittle to the incompleteness of national unity. However it may be, I once again present to Italy a serene | front, assured of haying done my duty.

Among the deep distresses of the rebel of Londen, none has taken a more lamentable form than the fear that we of the loyal States were running too fastinto debt.
