The atrocious panish- ment of hie minister will excite the execrations of every American against the despot; but the calami- ty whieh has fallen npon the wife and children of the exile, wil! be felt in the eocial erreles at Wash- ton with the deepest regret. Sull, the case is, per haps, not entirely hopeless.

His shrewdness end tact as a politician and a courtier, did the rest. The motive of the Emperor, in now seading him ts Siberia, Goes not appear. lt is reported that Mr. Rodiseo had aceumulatedjin Russia property to the amount of two milhons of dollars; that he was gradually withdrawing it to the United States, and» one ata time, calling over bis family relations; that these proceedings led the Czar to suspect that his minister was quietly preparing to forswear his allegiance as soon as his relatives and his property were safely transferred to this country; that, with a view to counteract these designs, the Emperor borrowed of Bodiseo, ostensibly for the great rail- road to Moscow, some four or five huwdred thou- sand cellars, but that the minister was stul remov- ing his funds to, and investing them in, the United States. It is supposed that the avails of the confis- cation of the Jate mivister’s property ia Russia, and the effectof an example to others of his servants abroad, were the motives of Nicholas 1 the pun- ishment of Bodisco. But “why did Mr. Bodiseo go to Russia?” he did he not profit from the example of Sir Walter I uh, who, failing in bis South Amen- can expedition, returnedto England tobe b-headed? With all the suspicious circumstances connected with the spy, the obedience of the Minister to his Emperor's commands exhibits either the strangest interuatien, or the fullest confidence in the honesty of his master’s mvitation. This act of Nicholas is but another chapter to the accumulating accounts against him, and for which, sooner or later, he is destined to be called to a rigid settlement. learned to associate Nicholas and Siberia as sy- nonymous with eruelty and death. His decinna- sion of the Polish people, on the suppression of the revoiution of 1682, instilled a sentiment of horror into the public miod of Europe and America. The sympathy with which the Polish exiles were re- ceived im the United States, doubtless contributed | to strengthen his distrust and prejudice against Americon institutions, while the testimony of the refugees confirmed the American people in their | hatred of the tyrant. His subsequent wars of usar- pation in Circassia, attended with the usual cruel- ties of Russian barbarism, his late invasion of Hungary, with his hordes of savage Cossacks, have to far contributed to increase the hatred and apprehensions of enlightened Europe; as to pro- veke, in his demand for the Hungarian fugitives, the unmustekeable remonstrance of England and France. Yet, with the cruelty of a Tartar, and the reck- less anibition of a tyrant, the Russian Emperor has commanded something of universal respect, from the apperent openness, boldness and magnitude of a'l his enterprises and all his acts. His manifesto te his subjects on the outbresk of the Jute French revolution ; his later proclainations, including his wpelogy for the invasion of Hun- gary, though detested on account of the doctrines which they sustained, caused the Czar to be re~ spected, and even admired, tor the fearless um, periel frankness with whieh they were avow- ed. His spirit of resolute, defiance of the opin- ions of mankind has at least won for him that re- spect which an indomitable courage and a reso- lute will never failto command. To be sure, he has been playing the adroit game of Russian diplo- macy with Louis Napoleon, and has made his ser- vices to Austria adininister to his hate of the republican fugitives in Switzerland ; but, although these ects, and euch as these, have made him obnoxious to suspicions of the stealthy cunning of the tiger, itis the recall of Bodisco and his ex- pulsion to Siberia which fills the measure of pub- lic abherrence and detestation, and reduces the magnificent Nicholas to the standard of the re- vengeful and wily savage. What would be the fate of Bem and Dembinski (whoare Poles) should they be surrendered into his hands, if Siberia is the penalty for a minister whose only known erimes were his marriage with: an Amcricen lady, investmenta in American property, and a too faithful devotion to the commands of his | master? The feeling of cold and chilling horror which this last act of Russian barbarity will excite in this country, will be the deeper from the appa- | rently utter hopelessness of the case. The power of the Emperor is absolute over his subjects. He command duty to obey. Obedient and devoted a subject, | Mr. Bedisco hastened to receive his orders to Si- bena. Our government has no control over the case.

From twelve to fifteen hundred miler, in the selection of any route north of Mex- 1¢0, must be traversed over plains, mountains, and deserts, without timber, without population, with- out materials or supplies, and thought to be without anything te contribute to the support of the road, short of the Pacifie. This has been justly consi- dered the most formidable drawback to any enter- prise of sucht magnitude that has ever presented iteelf in the history of the world—this timberless, mountainous, and desert region of from twelve to fifteen or seventeen hundred miles. Buta recent discovery near the foot hills of the Tocky Mountains, of a prime article of commerce and cash, opens a mine of capital on the way. It appears that there isno longer any doubt of the existence of inexhaustible supplies of eannel coal the sonrces of the Nebraska or Platte river, which 1s the route of the overland-emigrants to California, via the South Pass, the Salt Lake, aad the Great Basin, The destitation of umber in the great plains, were there no substitute for fuel, would render them incapable of settlement, even to cattle raisers; for there the snows are deep and the winters cold, The coal supplies the tuel—it also supplies an article of trade with the Mississippi river, and will thus coa:ribute to colonize the plains, and to the sale of the public lands along the route to settlers, who will soon produce all the ne- | cessary provisions for the workmen. It 1s known, also, that iron is fouad from the | frontiers of Missouri to the Rocky Mountains; and with the coal on hend, the means are onthe | ground for the manufacture of the rails required. | Of the wonderful capacities of the Mormon valley of the Salt Lake, the reports from that quarter | would be incredible if they were not all consistent. Ina few years more, at this rate, they will be able to raise bread and cattle for the subsistence of 100,000 souls. Their valley is the half-way station | onthe great central route; and thus ell tears on the score of provisions for the workmen are ob- viated. With the road finished to the Salt Lake, another important commercial article comes into market— the article of salt. It exists in the heavy brine of the great lake to an inexhaustible capacity of sup- ply; 1t exists m a crystaline formation at the bot- tom, and forms an incrustation of salt for a hun- dred miles along its shores. Rock salt exists in the surrounding mountains, and copper and gold. Jut with the completion of a railroad, the New Jervenlem will become a great place of resort to the fashionable world, on account of its wonder- ful natural cursosities, the singular sulubrity of its climate—the valley being 4,000 feet above the sea— and particularly on account of the number and va- riety of its medicinal springs. Such are some of the intermediate advantages in favor of the construction of the Pacific railroad via the Platte, the South Pass, and the Salt Lake | Valley. The completion of the work to the Secra- mento will give the road the exchanges between Europe, Americaand Asia. What are a hundred millions to the consummation of such a work? Tue Nexr Srraxerstir —Various papers are | speculating vpon the chances of Mr. Winthrop, Mr. Cobb, 6f Georgia, Mr. Linn Boyd, of Ken- tueky, Mr. McLane, of Maryland, nd others, to the | Speakership. All such estimates are premature. The free soilers hold the balance of power. The election is in ther hands; and until itis known who | they will vete for, or upon what terms they will | compromise or compound, it is perfectly idle to speculate upon the probabilities of their supporting any candidate. They may, perhaps, sellout to the highest bidder, or they may obetinately hold off. | But if itis understood that California is oa the spot for admission into the Union, with a constitu- tion silent on the subject of slavery, and that the President, in his message, recommends her admis- sion on such terms—(and what else can he do)t— | but especially if coupled with this, the President | shall recommend the cession of New Mexico, east | of the Rio Grande, to Texas, then the free soilers | will unite against Winthrop to a dead certainty, | andtoaman.

We shall, during the next week, receive, without doubt, thirty days later intelligence from California The steamer from Sen Francisco, ot the Ist of Uctober, was due at Panama on the 20th, and the steamer leaving Chagres any time after that date will doubtless bring the apxiourly jooked for news Tbe next edvices will be important and exceedingly interesting. Thousands are waiting later intelligence, before making arrange- ments for departure to the gold country, It is not known how much gold dust the next steamer will bring; but expectations run bigh, and if she doos not bring a big pile, there will be much dirappointment. The next rteamer for Kurope will probably carry outa month's Jater news from the gold diggings. The ennexed statement exhibits the quotations for wt for Caltforaiay roan, Ortoder 2.
