She at once went toher state-room, and as her name did not appear on the passenger list furnished by the agents of the line, (it being withheld, it is supposed, at the request of the lady,) the fact of her actual departure for Europe has only become known several days after the sailing of the ship.

The sovereign by whom they were originally accredited to the United States baying been expelled from her throne, they now represent nothing, and it has been so decided by Mr. Seward. This decision is an derstood to take effect from the date om which official notification of the facts was received from the American Minister at Madrid. No official communication will be had with the iate Legation nor with Spain until represents- tives from that country shall appear accred- ited by a power competent to issue diplomatic warrants.

OMAHA, cil Bluffs te Omaha—Is Om: Chi wi ing? —** Train-Town’ — The Railre:¢ Wer! izing the Missouri—The Future of @ma! [Bastoriat Correspordence of the Star.) ‘@uaga, NEBRASKA, Sept. 15, 1868. Omaha is literally “a city set upon a bill,” And the ex-State House on the crest of the bluff towers over the city in 4 way to make it a con- spicuows objec: for miles. Omaha mm spreid Over the river front of this hill in a way to in- dividualize almost every buiiding im the piace, and it therefore makes & very goodly stow from the Iowa shore, rather to the diszust of the Council Blutfers in their eclipse ef sunflowers. A Perilous Trip. It looks & very easy thing to get over toOma- ha, but appearances are deceitful, and all who have crossed here will tetity that the trip from the Bluffs to this place involves more hard- ship, risk of life, ios? of temper, and, 1 was going to say, loss of time, than the whole trip from the Atlantic coast to the Bluffs, The journey is made to (or om) & vehicle, a cros> between a Concord coach anda Bladensburg omnibus. The horses are headed towards the Nebraska State-House, looming up on the op- posite shore, and everything looks lovely fora Prosperous voyage through the suu-flowers. Then the coich makes a lureb to the mght in ae of the imde-cribable rats ot the Missouri Bottom. Then it staggers to the left, pitehes forward, bounces, teters, vibrates, oscillates. and describes in five minutes all the limes laid dowa in geometry; acting altogether lke a vehicalar Toodles on 4 big drunk. The road winds and cork- serews through the sunflowersas if it, too, was tipsy. Our land-mark, the Siate House, is Sometimes deid-ahead, sometimes to the right, sometimes to the left, and not unfrequently makes its unexpected appearance at the rear of the vehicle. Anyone who has meandered through the Scotch meadows on the tittle steamer plying between Edinburg and Stir- ling, and calls to mind the perplexing positions assumed tothe right, left, rear and front, by that prominent lend-mark, Surling Castle, can Appreciate the discouraging nature of our ap- proach to the ex-State House of Nebraska.

The Bridge Question, The proposed bridge over the Missouri here Will, of course, remedy all this, but the diffi. culty seems to be to find a point opposite Oma- ha where asafe foundation can be got on the Jowa side in the treacherous quicksand bot- tom. The immense amount of transportation Tequired at this crossing, and the tediousness of the present mode of transit will, however, necessitate the construction of a bridge; and ail the railroad interests centering here are now sharpening their wits to solve the problem of bridging the 1:ver satisfactorily. {tis proba- bie the bridge will be constructed oppesits the extensive workshops of the Union Pacigjc Rail- road Company at Omaha. Is Omaha Wilting ? Like Councils Bluffs, Omaha has, or has bad, great aspirations. Not long ago it seemed rea!- ly to expect to outstrip Chicago and rival New York. Ht put in its claim as the site for the Capitol of the nation on the ground that it was the geographical and business centre of the country. The impvlsive George Francis Train lit upon it as the focal point of the land, and setup his great Eldorado Credit Foncier city on the Nebraska bluffs here. While it had the extensive business of fittimg out overland emi+ grant trains it undoubtedly thrived in a way to encourage complacent hopes for the future, but as the Pecific Railroad has been exiended ‘west this supply business has gone to the new settlements on the line, each in tara baying an ephemeral prosperity. Thus North Platte, Cheyenne, Laramje, and Benton, have in suc- cession done a rushing business, and now Green River has its brief hour of presperity to be supplanted by the next station west. Omaha, however. violently resents any inti- mation that she is destined to lapse into ipsig- Nificance. She still expects to be a great rail- Tead entrepot, when the bridge across the Missouri shall make ner the connecting point of half a dozen railroads. It 1s doubtful, hows ever, if Omaha will reap as much benefit from this bridge and railroad connection as she an- ticipates. Business will shoot past to Chicago and St. Louis. The instance of Urestline shows that a place may derive very little benefit from being lecated on important railroad connec- tions. The difficulty now with Omaha is that she has ne back country filled up with set. ters to make trade for her. Business appeats to be ata stand-still. We see few buildings in oferection. From its position, how- ever, Omaha cannot fail to be a place ot con- siderable: ee. As the country fills up InpianN CURrostrizs aND MEMORIALS.— Hon. ©. E.
