NKEW YORK HERALD. | “w ~ Vork. Monday, September 28, nan, IMPORTANT FROM THE SOUTH. VIGOROUS PROSECUTION OF THE WAR AGAINST MBIICO. We learn that General Gaines has _r, ders from Washingto: power the moment this railroad is finished? It vanishes, as if by the wand of an enchanter. We take her place, and she at once becomes tributery tous. Where is the mistress of the seas, with hee extensive commercial marine, when this road is completed—a city er cities built on the Pacific,and | a free and frequent intercourse opened with Chi- na, the East, the coast of Mexicoand South Ame- rica—the islands in the Pacific, Manilla, Austra- lia, Java, and the Indian Seas, and all India? he plan by which Mr. Whitney proposed to construct this road is by disposing of the lands, for ived or- for the immed trans- portation of all the troops now stationed in this | money and labor, in such amounts as shall suit division to the seat of war, on the Rio Grande.— | the ability of the settler, so that every man in our The orders are positive and peremptory, and a | country, however small his means, and allthe over Corporal’s Guard only is to, be left at each of | population ofall the old world, can have a home, the forts and fortifications. ‘with industry, of plenty, comfort, virtue and What does this indicate ? happiness, placed directly in the centre ofall the It is the opinion, thet the recent despatches re- | world, and on its grand highway. It appears to ceived at Washington from Mexico, are ef such a character as the government to onqner a peace” without any more absurd ceremony with the Mexicans. We think that we have shown forbearance enough, and we must now surround our foolish enemy, and draw the military lines closer and closer around the city of Mexico, tll the government of that infatuated country sues, like a whipped braggart, for peace. We hope that the authorities at Washington will now see that the time for trifling is past. While these new and important movements are | making at the north, whatis General Taylor do ing in the south? According to the news received yesterday, and published in fall on the outside of this day’s Herald, oux forces were advancing rapidly to Monterey ; and as it was reported that General Ampudia had reached that point with from five to ten thousand troops, there may yet be another bat- tle between Old Rough and Ready and the Mexi- his is now the general expectation, and the next advices from that section will, therefore, be anxiously lookéd for. Our troops were in excellent condition, Tuus it appears that we are ia the midst of us thatthis project must suceeed ; that it must | draw to itallthe enterprise of the world, itis so | grand, and the results to be produced so stupen- dous, so sure that the mind on investigation can- not resist it, and we believe that when it is com- menced arush will be made for the land ; that settlement and population will precede it, and if once begun must go on, and cannot be stopped. | We also believe that Mr Whitney’s plan is the only plan,and the only means by which it can be dene. Itis a project so vast, that it must work itself and make its own means; the government cannot do it by money, neither by setting apart the lands, because it would be subject to constant changes in legislation, and made a most powerful political engine, subject to constant interruptiors and embarrassments, and would never be com- pleted. Therefore, this plain simple plan of let- ting the road build itselt seems to be the only one, and we cannot imagine who should oppose it. We consider it important to prepare the pullic mind, soas to urge it upon the immediate action ofthe coming session of Congress. We fear after that time, the lands will be so far taken up as to perhaps defeat the great object. to constrain Cartrornia Expepition.—We thought that we had finished with this expedition, for the present at least, but common justice demands the contra- pipicg times again ee Steamer Weotern. ron “ab b Sat! a ek are d ay, ane dichon of certain rumors, in circulation yester- may, thereiore, be hourly expected to arrive.— day, prejudicial tothe character of those in com- She is tuil of passengers, goods, and news. main Our Geographical Position—The tiallroad | Th? vesselsdid not sail hurriedly, nor on ac- tv the Pacific Ocean, count of any dread of ne exeats, Stillwell acts, or » we firsi gave this sabject our attention, | & habeas corpus ; the order was given on the even- exumiued it in ali its deails,and the | ing before to all concemed, to be ready at 9 more we have examinedit, the more we are con- vineed of its great importance and benefit to the United States in a commercial and politveal point of view, and as the means of accelerating the progtess of civilization over the habitable world. We have always been desirous of directing the public mind to it, and for that purpose have from time to time devoted a portion of our columns to its elucidation and explanation. In order to point out the innumerable ad- vantages that would to the United | States from the completion of a work like this, in the plainest manner possible, so “that he who runs can read,” we have gone to the expense of | having a map engraved, which shows the geogra- phic position of the United States on the Globe, and also the distances from Europe to Asia and the East, by steam, via sea and railroad across ourcontinent. This map our readers will find on the first page of this day’s Herald. We recom- mend them to preserve it as a valuable reference, as it points out for the first time, our true geogra- | phica! posit on it will be seen that we are geographically situa. | ted in the very centre of the world. j On the one side we have Europe, with a popu- | lation of nearly two huodred and fifty millions of human beings, and a superficies of four millions seventy-five thousand four hundred and twenty- , five square miles; and Africa with a supposed area of twelve millions of equare miles, anda population supposed to amount to sixty millions— | making a population on ons te of us of three hundred and ten millions of people. We then | cross over to the continents of North and South America—the former of which contains an area of nine millions and seventy-eight thousand squase miles, and a population of 33,748,000, and the latter an area of 6,676,000 square miles, and @ population of 15,497,840 peopie ; both contain- ing a greater quantity of cultivatable land than the rest of the world besides. The most direct route from Europe to our centinent, is from latitude 50 north to 41. On the other side of us we have, at a distance of some five thousand miles from our westernmost boundary, the whole of Asia and Australia, com- prising an area of 18,243,000 square miles, and a population of over seven hundred millions of hu- man beings. The population of Europe, on the one side is above the 40th parallel of north lati- | tude, and on the other side two-thirds of the popu- tion of Asia lie yprth of the 20th parallel ef north latitude.

Ma. Foanest.—!n giving an opinion of the professio: a) ability of this gentleman, we desire to avoid instituting & comparison between him and foreign actors, We wish to speak of him solely with regard to his own merits, and, so far as this article is concerned, to forget that we seen Macready in “ Lear,” Butler or Kean in “Hamlet,” the elder Vandenhoff in “ Richelieu,” or Anderson in “ Othello” or “ Macbeth.’’ We will admit, for the nonce, that there is no standard of dramatic ¢: cellence, and that different actors may be great in carry- | ing out their different conceptions of the same character. that Edmund Kean, Mrs. Siddons, and others, ent readings of the same passages at different rofessional existenc in life. to which they had tamp of their professioval fume and therefore, we have no difficulty in imag men, of equal genius, may give different readings same dramatic author Consequently, the fact of Mr. Forrest differing from Macready, er Kean, or Vanden- hoff, or Anderson, does not alox volve his professional inferiority to those actors. In exressing our opinion of his merits, we shall be guided by this consideration—Mr. Forrest possesses immense physigue Hin muscular de- | velopments wonld fit him for an athlete, snd he has lungs | of great power. It may be easily conceived thatin such } Spartacus and Damon, hia physical conformation itrength of lungs, give to his acting great power d effect. In the latter character (Damon) we have never him excelled, seldom equalled. In Spartacus, he has no superior, Ip this line of characters, we m y that Mr. Forrest is very successful. But, with his physical advantages, he has many disadvantages, which mar bis acting of most Shaksperian characters, and many other characters requirin . besides the absence of the disadvan tages to which we allude, arefinement and subtlety of fe which we do not think Mr. Forrest possessed of His voice is very powerful, but he manages it most in- judiciously, often descending to the lower notes unsea- sovably, as if, through mere caprice, and to exhibit the compass and volume of his stones, when, in fact, any other than a conversational tone is out of place. For in- stance, in “ King Lear,” he renders the words— “ Anexcellent thing in woman,” onthe very lowest key—rumbling and ventriloquial— such as itis physically impossible a could produce, an old man’s voice being alway piping His tones do not g each other with those musical cadences which are so absolutely necessary in declaiming the fiver passages He must either speak loud or be inaudible to half the house Besides, he of- ten dwells on the consonant instead of the vowel sounds, which renders his intonat‘on jarring and discordant, It would seem utterly impossible for Mr Forrest to schoo! atures into anything like expressiveness ; ani how is it possible for one to uct tragedy well with. out versatility of features? Leaving the voice out of account how can the passions be expressed ex cept by the gia dthe play of the features? We think that this immobility of the te cial muscles is one of the great anteges Mr. Forres to contend with Hie gestures are full of manliness, vigor and a sort of beld energy which is not without its ectect ; but they are almost totally devoid of grace. Tuking these thingsinte account, it will be seen that if Mr Forrest possesses paysical advantages of no ordinary character, he has likewise phy sical disadvanta- ges to almost connterbalance them. It we tuke into con Sideration that during # great portion of his career he played to not very dscriminetiog audiences at the minor theatres, the which audiences wonii be satisfied with nothing but rant, and weie incopable of appreciating fine acting, the pit by its noise genereily having control ove: the rest of the house, we will not be so much surprised that Forrest's taste is pot teultiess, as that itis 80 pure as itis. The evil consequences of hus early trai 0 Still apparent ia many portions of bis acung, but ic with yle is becoming more and more subd be well that this necessary pruning of the of his declamation be done with judgment, is concep: tion of Lear is good, aud we weuld like to see him car ry it out consistently und evenly. His conception OF Othello is. also good, ulthoughit is not altogether carried ont, But we never could arrive at apy defi nite conclusion as to his conception of Hamlet.— It seems to us that in striving to be original. he produces a character that Shuk»peare would never recognize his own conception His Richelieu has | some points of excellence, but the whole tone of the part rendered by him is t ¢ bru,gue for the aristocritic old Cardinal. We have heard some critics object to his re- presenting Richelieu as au infirm old man ; but this is in couformity with the text In Macbeth he introduces some original readings—some of which we are pleased with, and others we luok upon asall iudged. His reading of "Hang out our banners, &c,” we scarcely know whether to praise or to condemn. He renders it thus : © Hang out our banners.” (@ pause) “ou tue cuter walls, the cry is still, ‘ they come.” ‘We confess that we are half a convert to this reading, | which certainly seems specious, (o say least. On the whole, we believe, as we huve had occasion to remark | betore, that Mr. Forrest's inteilect is too ponderous and unwieldy for the finer shades of character MH moreover, that pliancy of vuice, that mobility of feature, and that versaiility of expression, without which no man aks jan actor.

Parx Tueatre.—The present season has evinced a very deserving degree of liberality om the part of the ma- nagers, in engaging the highest dramatic talent in our country. Dan Marble, the Keans, Mra. Hunt, Collingand Forrest have each appeared on the Park boards, and this ‘evening Mrs_ Mowatt and Mr. Davenport will suathin the characters ef Juliet and Romeo in Shak: lebra- ted tragedy.

He chooses for his debut the character of Teddy O'Rourke in the “ Irish Tutor,” and we confidently pre- dict his success. Bowany Tusatag—Maes. Suaw.—This lady, decidedly the best actress of the American stage, after an absence of twelve months appears, at this theatre this evening in the play of “Love” Asa tragic actress she standsalone, ui ch ‘and unapproachable. There isan exqui- site variety, a warmth of feeling and pathos in everything she does, which sppeals at once to the hearts of the au- he twines herself as it were into our sympathies, ur judgment at defiance, in admiration of her lence. ‘Ihe York need no other than the announce- ment of such a name, and her engagement will prove a succession of triumphs. Mr. Jackson will reap a rich re- ward for the enterprise he has shown in securing talent of so high an order. Therein lies the secret of great | success. Garenwich THeatee.—A series of entertainments are offered in this evening’s bill at this theatre, which we think must fill it to overflowing. The taste of the spe sta- tor who desires the incidents of a melo-drama, or the bread burlesque of Ethiopian caricature, may all be gratified. The grand historical pley “Alexander the Great, or the of Babylon,” will be produced+ with lendor, and the extra; za of ‘tom and Jerry, the performances of the great sp! or Lif in London” will conclade ening ; but between the two pieces, John Diamond, so known as the * king of the darkies,” will appear in same of those celebrated ‘nigger scenes” with which he is wont to convulse his audiences. Miss Emma Ince, the vocalist, will also sing some ot her favorite songs during the course o'fthe evenig. Truly, this is astrong bil and must secure a house somewhat adequate to remune- | rate the manager for his untiring exertions. Bowray Ciancus.—The expected appearance of the two rival champions, Dale and McFarland, has created | a good deal of betting. and conside: xcitement in certain circles, relative to their powers of vaulting. To- | night they contend for the palm of victory, and the sport willbe very interesting. The admirable manner in which the seats of this Amphitheatre are arranged, ren- der the arena visible to all in the house, and apart from the contest above spoken of. the attractions are of a high character. Tho performers are most thoroughly drilled in their respective parts, while the stud of horses is one of the best in the Union Mr. Brewer, the gym- nastic performer, makes his appearance this evening, and from what we have heard o: his exploits, he will | probably become a great favorite with (he public Mrs. jullen, too, the femaie equestrian, is u lady whose grace and beauty call out loud applause ‘rom every successive audience.
