a) a ft will, ina hoalthy Feet Better of Hon. Thomas Butler King to Cer- tain New York Capitalists, in Behalf of the Texas and Gadsden Country Route— Advantages of the Route—Commercial and tical View. - walt Oe coe Tous, Oot: Mh ABB. GxvriExeN—Having had the pleasure of communicat- jwg to you verbally my views on the subject of a railroad to the Pacific ocean, I now beg leave to submit them in a more connected and tangible form, The people of the United States, on both sides of the continent, have be- eome ¢o thoroughly convinced of the importance of this great work, as national necessity, I shall not take into eensideration that branch of the subject, further than te may be developed ix the course of my observations. That point being conceded, the next that presents fteelf iw the proper route for the road, its practicability, and the results which will probably flow from its construc- tion. The legislation of Congress, exhibiting a most remarka- ble want of practical statesmanship, has indicated and proposed to provide for the construction of three lines. Wow, nothing can be more certain than that if the broad expanse of country extending to the Pacific were a per- feet plain, it would be unwise to attempt, at such vast expense, the construction of three roads at the same time, when it is clear that one will be quite sufficient for afl intercommunication between the Atlantic and Pacific States for many years to come, Therefore, any attempt te force upon the money market three such gigantic and competing enterprises at the same time would, beyond doubt, cause the utter failure of all. It has, therefore, been a matter of surprise among all thinking, practical men, that Congress has not sought out, as the sole ob- ject of its legislation, that line for this great enterprise which, under existing circumstances, combines in Ms favor not only the greatest pecuniary reward to thore who may undertake it, but also the most im- portant and pressing national considerations. It is not quite certain that the surveys and examinations which ‘ave been made prove more than one route to be practi- cable, That is the extreme southern line, run: alo and near the parallel of north latitude 32 deg., throu, the State of Texas and the terri:ory acquired 0 ‘ander the Gadsden treaty, to the junction of the Gila and Golorado, and thence through California to the Pacific. It is claimed, however, that the extreme northern route is practicable, extending from Chicago through the ‘States ‘of iilinois and Jowa, thence acount the ‘Great E Bend of the Miseouri and crossing the depression in the Rocky Mountains at or near the point of the Hudson’s Bay Ccmpany’s portage, to the waters of the Coiumbia river; =, ied fa (pel basin and sad Cascade Moun- ‘tains to Puget’s Sound, or descending of the Columbia for many hundred miles through the Territo ef Oregonto the mouth or that river. This route, it practicable, afier leaving the settled portions of Towa, passes through a country without inhabitants a distance ‘some two thousand miles to Puget’s Sound, and strikes the Pacitic near # thousand miles, by the course of navi- gation, north of San Francisca, our great commercial emporium on that ocean. If nature had imposed no mountain ranges to obstruct the work upon this route, ie extreme northern latitnde and the drifting snows in winter on the extensive prairies through which it passes, weuld present obstacles quite insurmountable. In addi- tion to these objections, its it length, added to the ce from New York to its eastern terminus, would render it almost, and probably quite, useless as a chan- mel of commerce. To communicate from San Francisco te Puget’s Sound—its western terminus—would require at least half agmuch time and expense as would be re- quired on the southern line from San Francisco to New York. It would, therefore, seem to be unwise, while the Roe fy aa of fo and Pacific 8 appears: le] , ina degree, on a railw eennection between them, to Satay the execution of the work in vain attempts to bring forward this extreme northern route as 4 rival of its southern competitor. ‘The fortieth parallel of north latitude, the position of ‘this city, is believed to be near the centre of population of the free States; so that 32 degrees, or the southera route, is not as great a deviation from that supposed eentre as the northern line in latitude 483g ‘Therefore, if our efforts were solely directed with a view to ascertain the best route to the Pacific for the Northern States, the linc of 82 degrees would unquestionably be selected without reference to the South. As the examinations of the government engineers con- @emn a)l the intermeciate routes, I shall pass them with. eut comment, and proceed to consider that on the parallel of 32 3, through Texas and the country recently Sequired under the Gadsden treaty, to the junction of the Gila and Colorado, and thence through California to ‘the Pacific. The charter of the Texas Western Bailroad Company permits the work to commence at a point on ‘the eastern boundary of that State, which will afford the greatest facilities lor connecting it with the railways which are extending in that direction from St. Louis, esroand Memphis, through Arkansas, by way of Little Rock and Fulton, from Vicksburg, Louisiana, to Shreve- and from New Orleans, by the Opolusas Railroad, thus jing the system ot railways throughout the Union, orth and south, by converging lipes, to that point on ibe eastern border of Texas and connecting them with the line under consideration to the Pacific, These rail- woads are all in a staio of progress, and the means pro- ~wided e their ultimate completion, ‘which cannot be de- ‘ayed beyond a very few years, aud connecting as th do with the railways in the southern, middie and nortix. ern States, their completion will open a railway comm :- mieation trom this and all other Atlantic cities, m ice ‘then half the distance across the continent. From the eastern boundary of Texas to the Pacific, on the route murveyed by Col. A. 1. Gray, the Engineer of the Texas Western Kailroad Company, the distance is 1,621 miles, which will be very much diminished by the eof the road, making It not far from twice the of the Ilinoia Central Railroad. ‘This is supposing the road to strike the Pacific atthe nearest point. If it be extended to San Francisco, the distance will be in- ereased some five hundred mileg, The climate on this line is nuld and salubrious, be} fkee from snow and jee in winter, amd the diseases Pir} ~ ‘udes by miasm in summer, Uniting, as southemn ins. wm, With the railroads leading north and east, at transit oyet it at all seasons of the year will be safe and pleasant, ‘The lands reserved in Texas to bheourage the constrne- tion of this work through that State, are not surpassed fm fertility by any other portion of the Union. In fact, they produce in greater quantity and perfection than they are produced elsewhere, all the crops cultivated 4m the Northern and Southern States. [tis beyond donbt the best grazing country on the centinent. ‘Wheat is produced in greafer quantity to the sore, and a much heavier and more _ fiinty grain, than is grown in the Nocthwestern States. All the ether serial grains in equal proportion. The product of ‘cotton per acre is larger and of better quality than in any ether portion of the southern country, Haible rovis of at hiods are produced in the fr eatest. perfection. Sugar and molasses may be produced with facility. Texas grants to the company making this road, in com- nce With the terms of the charter, sixteen sections of lands, or ten thousand two hundred and forty acres, for every mile of road constructed. If, after the work shall be completed, these lands prove to be wov'h five dollars an acre, they will produce a fund of $61,40 per mile, or a reliable basis for a credit to that amout It’ is proper to remark that the emigration ® this eountry will be composed of classes of pecsons inal! re- spects Jitterent from those spread over the governinent Tands in the northwest. The Territories of the 1 'ted States in which the public lands Iie, do not produce vot- ‘ton—the great staple of the South; nor does the govern- ment own any valuhble bodies of cotton lands. These lands of Texas present the only great unimproved field for ‘the culture of cotton now remaining to be occupied on the continent. Therefore, when this road shali be completed, the emigration to Texas, from all the slaveholding States, must bo very large and of persons who would not, under any circumstances, emigrate to the northwest, There- fore, the grants of land inade by Congress to encourage the construction of railroads and for military services ean have no influence on the price of the lands which ‘Texas offers in aid of the construction of this work. ‘As we proceed west of the Rio Grande into the country moqnired under the Gadsden treaty, we come into a dis- trict which is considered to be almost as rich in gold us California, possessing also very rich silver and copper mines. The valleys and plains are very similar to those of California, and will probably he as productive. Yt ix known that previous to the revolution in Mexico, which expelled the Spanish authority, this couatry sustained a Jarge population, with numerous flocks of shoep, and herds of cattle and horses, It ts, therefore, not a desert ‘waste, as bas beed represented. Thesurveys which have Been made through Texas, and from the Rio Grande to the Pacific, show that althongh there are some spots without timber, it can be procured, without any very in transportation, in sufficient quanti re the completion of the work without greatly aug mented cost. These surveys also show that wator iv found, or can be wired at small expense, in su‘ticiont quantity on the whole route. ‘This line through Texas, which may, at comparatively amall ex; , be connected with one or more of the ports in that State on the Gulf coast, presents great commer- eial advantages which cannot be claimed by the northern route. The voyage to the coast of Texas, while it is early ar direct as the course of any of the lines of rail- ‘way converging towards the proposed route on 32 dog., aocomplishes more than one half the distancr to the Pa- cific, and leaves not more than sixteen hundered miles to ‘Be overcome by railway, so that while the passengers, mails, and packages by express would be accommodated with the facilities of rallrond conveyance from all parts of the Union, the cargoes of package mate up in this city, of foreign importations and domestic manufac- {ned for the Pacific and intermediate tnarkets, undoubtedly be rent by sea to the Southern and u Gulf and thence by railway. ‘The cost of ireight from New York to San Francisco, by way of the Tsthmns of Panama, is now about one hundred and twenty five dollars aton. If the railroad was completed froin the coast Texas, the expense would not exceed one half Set cra, oF about sity dollars per ton.

This contrast in th of freights is « strong illustration of the great im- portance of saving time in commercial transactions, and of the laws of trade, which compel al merchants @Woageged in the same line of pnsinews to do that which, ‘aa a general rule, any one may accomplish wi taioty, celerity and profit.

It is also believed that an average of at least twenty-five thousand persons © an- pom bere eer ng cee eee for the Roy years above stated, an one hundred and fifty thousand who fave travelled both ways. The ex. pense of the journey to the Pacific, including the price ot passage, time and incidental costs and c! , has been estimated as high as three hundred follars for each person. It will, therefore, not be considered extravagant if wetake two thirds of that sum—or two hundred dol- lare—as the uversge. This wil! give for the one hundred and fifty thousand who have made the Passage to and from the millions of dollars. If we adopt the same with respect to the three hundred thousand who have rema! we have the same result—sixty millions of dol- Jare—making an aggregate of one’ hu and twenty millions for the six years. or twenty millions per annum, as the probable cost of this movement. have no data upon which to found a calculation of the berber for freight, and insurance of merchan- dise and gold dust, but the sum must be very |: Ifwe extend ouc view across the Pacific, we that. this railway, connected with steamers on that ocean, will reduce the time of pascage from New York to Shanghue in China, to about twenty-five to bir ps ays: and to Sidney, in Australia, to from thirty to thirty-four days. Intelligence across the continent by telegraph and thence to Shanghae in steamers, would be conveyed in eighteen to twenty-one days, and to Sidney in about twenty-two to twenty-eight days. The variation of time on the Pacific is given for the purpose of indicating what is supposed to be the fort speed of steamers at present—say two hundred and fifty miles a.day, and what it is believed it bere: hereafter—three hundred miles a day, ‘The distance between San Diego, in California, and Sid- ney, is fifteen hundred miles less that it is from ‘the latter place to Panema; and at beg ei a speed of steamers on the Pacitic—two hundred and ite miles a day—passengers, from Siduey would arrivo at San Diego in six days less time than they would at Panarna, and that belng quite sufficient for the passage by rauwcy to New York, and gbid.:dust would arrive here by way of San Diego in aboututhe same time that they Bite Phe i aperoe from Gere It elders suse sup- Ppored that all passengers and intelligence,.and probabl no small amount of light packaga coqlertcas, Europe bg peo would a. convsaes..

The reasons why the gold mines of that portion of Mexico have not .been worked, are be- cause, since the overthrow of the Spanish rule, the govern- ment of Mexico has mot protected the inhabi- tants, nor has it allowed them to carry arms to protect themscives against incursions of the Indians; consequent- ly all the northern and mining portions of the country have become almost depopulated, the people having been driven into the central and southern portions of the State to the rich valleys of the rivers, where, alone, they could in safety obtain subsistence. The completion of this work will throw open this rich district of country to American enterprise, and bring our people and commer- cial cities into direct communication with the three great gold fields of the world—eonora, California and Australia. ‘The emigration to the Pacific const, notwithstanding the expense of time, money and exposure of health, on the various lines over which it bas pnased. may be Sa PEE as a suflieient evidence of what it would be if a cheap, easy and rapid line cf communication were established, and new fields opened to American labor A gold field presents no at- tractions for the laborer, except the treasure which he collects; hence it is, that as soon as he has obtained an amount which meets his moderate views of competence he returns to the home he has left. Consequently it wil be found that the tide of travel upon this national line of communication will (flow with nearly equal force in both directions, The prepanderence will, doubtless, be towards the Pacific; but this will be composed chiefly of agricul- turists, and persons engaged in trade—not of miners. It we suppose these increased inducements will carry over the road two hundred thousand persons per annum, each way—a little more than double the amount of emi- gretion to California, since 1849—at an averags price ot eighty dcllars each, or five cents a mile on sixteen hun- dred miles of road, we have a gross receipt of sixteen millions of dollars. If we add to this five millions for government transportation of matls, munitions of war, troops, &e., and five millions for package goods to, and gold from the Pacific, way freights, and way passengers, we have gress a receim of twenty-six millions, on an esti- mated expenditure of about forty-five to fifiy millions, for the construction of the road from the eastern line of Texus to the nearest port on the Pacific; and probably not exceeding fifty-five millions to San Francisco. The fertile lands in Texas, through which the road will pass, will cause the items of way passengers and freights very ‘soon to become large, and undoubtedly exceed the estimate. ‘The basis of a credit to raise the necessary means for the construation of this work may be stated—first, a grant from Texas of ten thousand two hundred and torty acres of land for every mile of roud constructed within her limits, or for the supposed distance on the route in- Gicated in the law, from the eastern line of the State. opposite the town of Shreveport, in Louistuna, to El Passo—geven hundved dnd sthree wiles of roadee 17,020 acres, at five dollars an Add, woul $35,089,600. An estimated engagement on the part of the’ United States to pay for a term of ut least fifteen years, five millions per annum, for the transportation of mails, troops and munitions of war, together with an appropriation of land through that portion of New Mexico acquired under the Gadsden ftreaty, of a* twenty sections to the mile, tor a distance of 578 or 7,508,400 acres. Also a proposed grant from Congress to the Stace of California, of thirty sections, or nineteen thousand two lumdred ‘serves of Itnd per mile, for the distance the road way be constructed in that State. It is true that Congress as not ye! made these grants; vat ar they wore, i believe, embraced in the bill which came very Lear becoming » law at the last session, they will, no doubt, be made at the next session of Congress, The grant, ifmade to California, may be #0 losated as to be quite a8 valuable per acre ay the lands in Texas. lt is of the utmost importance that the le- gislation of Congress shail ve so fraimed as to authorize a contract to pay at least five millions per annum during @ period of not less than fifteen years, for the transportation of the mails, troops, munitions of war, Mc. &e., which, coupled with the grants of land above mentioned, would, I should suppose, forma suiftictemt basis of eredit to enable the cowpany to hold theic lands until the completion of the entire work should render them valuable. Itcannot pe supposed that Congress, in view of the great national objects to be attained, can refuse or neglect to do this. This road, if made at all, must be made by a private company. It en’ be made by the government—first, because Texas owns one half of the line; and, second, be- cause works of this nature managed by government cost about four times as much as fa the hands of a company; and thia increased expenciture would, as has been proved in other cases, render the annual appropriations by Con- gress so uncertain and fluctuating that the country would, after ruinous delays, be likely to become disgust ed, and canse a sale, ora total abandonment of the en- Whatever Congress does to aid this work must shed in one single act, making grants, whieh, contracts, cannot be repealed. The condition of the Vacific States, situated as they are, near six thousand miles, by the present route of travel, from the seat of the federo! government and our com: mercial marts on the Atlantic, the time, risk and expense of passing from one to the e ‘time required for oficial communications, caus urious delays in the execution of the laws, have already produced ‘so many evils, it is saia the people of those States are sei iy ey of providing a government readily be imagined that if ‘ken to form a more direct, rapid, and easy communication with them, these causes will only augment their discontent and render the threatened © easy and certain.

It is probably not havarding too uch to say that the injury thus sustained ia one year, would be greater than the entire coat of a railroad from the Mississippi to the Paci- fie; and that most of it would be inflicted upon the city of New York. ‘Therefore, in whatever light We regard this work, it presses iteel! upon our consideration as indispensable to tho safety and prosperity of the Union, If apecdily com- pleted, it recurs to ue all the advantages we now pos- seas, And opens new aod vast fleldaof enterprise.

Griswold, ylor, Bras: The Dominican Treaty—The Truc Authors ofr Defeat. TO THE BDITOR OF THE HRRALD. When the New York press permits ifs columns to be used to calumniate a brave people, which, like the Do. minican Republic, is straggling for existence against the intrigues of Furopean diplomacy, as wsllas the barbarian negrots of Hayti, I fee) that it eannotrefuse my solicita- tion to allow the same medium for ths refutation of those erroneous statements, It is not my province to reply to the extraordinary statement of the correspondent of one of the city papers, that the American Secretary of State was the chief betrayer of the honor of his sountry, by acting with the disunion press in defeating the United States negotiations at St. Do- mingo. Ifthis monstrous insinuation could te true, and an American Secretary of State had treacherously colleagued with the agents of France and England to sacrifice the interests of the Union, as well as of the Dominican Re- public, for the service of Hayti, we would expect the or- gans of those Powers to praise the act they profited by, as we see they do, but we do not understand how an American Secretary of State deserves the thanks of the country for having defeated them.” ¢ English and French agents circulated the same calumny in St. Domingo, during the negotiation for a treaty respecting the co-operation of the American pre- mier with the allies, Re etd oh the recognition of the Deminican Republic of his friend, by canourrence with the Furopesn Powers respecting Hayti, The jour- nals of the Union will defend Secretary Marcy from this horrible charge ot double-faced treachery to his Presi- dent and his country. Sufficient for my poor abilities is the duty of correcting the slanders heaped upon the Do- minican people by the European journals, and repro- duced by the correspondent in question. Tafirm, upon my honor as a gentleman, and over my own famnily name, which is sustained in linenge, conduct and character, that what I now state is the sacred truth, which ought to be dear and interesting to every free horn and honor- able American. The brave and hospitable Dominican people are endeared to me by the double ties of blood and affectionate associations, and what I assert is based upon positive and personal knowledge. So far from there not being ‘in all 260 individuals of unmixed European blood in the eastern ead of the island,” they connt by thousands in the Dominican re- public. It is not ‘a free negro nationality”? like the Baytien empire, but a free constitutional reputiic, with white government, as much as any other Spanish- American repuolic.” It forbids no distinction of class or color before the law, but the Haytiens—who have all the favor and aympathy ‘of the anti-American journals—will not admit the whites to hold property or enjoy citizenship. It is not true that the Dominican government con- sidered itself wronged in the question of color and caste; it was too intelligen- not to be satisfied with such a treaty as satisfied France und England tor their subjects; and those journals who pretend to believe there was some difference made in the treaty, either for or against the Dominicans, of any class, must be remarkably igno- rant of the nature of the treaty, or remarkabl fous to present it under false colors. The hostile interference of the agents of the allies, and the display of a naval force to oppore and end Gen. Cazneau’s negotiations— which were generally acceptable to the Dominican:—is mentioned with approbation, and Mr. Marcy’s approba- tion of this insult to the United States is also claimed with scandalous audacity. Does the correspondent in question pretend to confirm the daring assertion made Uy the European agents at Fanto Domingo, that the American premier had dis- claimed the Monroe doctrine, and had personally assured the French Minister that Gen. Cazneau should be recalled and dismissed for proclaiming it in his official protest against this European interference ? If this could possibly ‘be true, it is time all the republics of Spanish America were informed of the fact, and American citizens should no longer complain that they are treated with leas res- pect in foreign dominions than the subjects of third and fourth rate European Powers. But it is not truo; it isa slander like the rest, Neither is it true (and that too I know from my position and personal acquaintance with the members of the Dominican Cabinet and Congress) that the changes made in the treaty after siguature ori- ginated with the Dominican government, ‘hey were notoriously arranged by Mr. Raybaud, the French Consul General, who, with a fleet at ‘his command, had the pewer to obtain a torced and illegal semi-action upon it. I also know that he demanded the sup- pression of my paper, Ki Orden, ip the same arbi- trary manner for my Americanisin, and in the same manner he caused the suppression of El Porvenir and the ruin of its editors for the same reason; and {am con- yinced the Dominican executive consented with reluc- tance to lend the laws and constitution of the republic to foreign diciption, Fipady, it is of public and notorious truth to every flominfcan, thatthe French and British Consuls favored the Baez conspiracy, that the appearance of the allied squadron of co-operation was expected about the close of Lent, Md that it came and found the Baez plan de- tected, and his brothers prisoners. Gen. Cazneau only states’ what every Dominican knows to be true, (rnd what every Haytien, and every partizan of the allies wished ha ‘eeded,) the attempt to seize the heads of the government and destroy the constitutional republic. ‘There are too many Dominicans present in this coun- try to permit such atrocions attacks on their country to Poss uncontradicted, while s free and generous press 3 open to them, Whenever a journal worthy of emits « filse assertion against the island republic, will always be fonnd ready for her de fence, A. ANGULO GURIDI. ‘October 26, 18: FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. MONEY MARKET. Monvay, Oct. 20—6 P. M. ‘The market at the first board this morning was decid- edly blue. Nearly everything on the list fell off—good. bad and tadifferent. These are squally times. It is the most utter nonsense for any one, we care not how wise or experienced he may be, to make any reliable presic- tions for the future. We may have very had news from Eu- rope, and we may have very good news. We may have «pe- ciefor the next sixty days going out or coming in, or both; we may see money extremely tight or extremely easy within the same time; we may see stocks thirty days or ten days hence ten per cent up, or ten per cent down, It is all a mere matter of guess work—as likely to be one way asthe other. When the financiers of London, Paris and Vienna are unable to predict how money affairs a §§ going te shape, our sagacious weather cocks on this side of the water had as well keep their mouths shut. It is the part of wisdom, in such times, for every man to take in sail; to hedge, reduce, and hold on til the storm is over. The man who goes largely short of stocks at prevent prices, may ina single day find himself irr § coverably capsized; and the rule holds equally good w bulls, No more stocks should be bought than the par y ean carry under any circumstances. We may see a low depth still, Parties who invest now in first mort- gage bonds and sound dividend paying stoc § to the extent that they can carry without didiculty will reap a rich profit, Unless a sale becomes necessary, the” party holding such securities is not one whit poorer than when prices areup. Holders of good bonds a'g dividend paying stocks can look upon the priees at the stock bourd—even of the very securities they hold—with as much indifference as the holders of bonds and mort- gnges. What difference does it make with them? Their coupons yield precisely the «ame; their dividends on thetr stocks come round with the samo regulari(.§ No doubt there are many old fogies who look upon the holders of dividend paying stocks and first mortgage bonds under present prices with extreme comrmisseration. They do not reflect that if their own bonds and mert- gages were thrown upon the market to-day, they thems selves would be the particular party to be pitied. The great point is for every one to take only an amount that he can carry, and to be sure it is intrinsically all right. He is then precisely as well off as the holders of bonds and mortgages, avd may equally with that class of capi- talists laugh at the fluctuations of the times, The dest investment that we know of at present prices in the way of bonds, is the Michigan South- ern and Northern Indiana Railroal first mortgage. If thore is amore perfect security than that we should be glad to see it, They are reven per cent bonds, aod yet they sold to-day at the board at 8234. If there could be the least possible question of the security of either, there bonds are even safer than New York Central six per cents. The latter aren mere certificate, depend- ing upon revenue, while the former are a first mortgage on the property of the company, with a large amount of stock, selling at nearly par, behind it, The misfortune of the Michigan Southern and North ern Indiana bonds is this: The road has been bollt in rections, and a small line ot bonds tseued on each see- | tion. Buck line t to be known abroad, and coveequcntiy the entire security in enofined wo this country. This defect is being remedied. A! the bonds are being consohdated into one first lien, covering every- thing, and with sinking fund attached. A few have already been issued; but the inability of the officers of the company to prepare the new bonds as fast as wanted hhas caused them to suspend the further issue unti) all of the bonds are ready. When this conversion is complete, there will be but one Michigan Southern and Northern Indiana Railroad bond, which will be @ first mortgage on six hundred miles of one of the best roads in the country, with a sink- ing fund established ample to pay the principal at ma. turity. It will become one of the leading known recog- nized established securities of this country, and will be readily sought for in Europe at par and upwards. ‘The variations at the morning board, as compared with the corresponding board of Saturday, were as follows:— Erie stock declined %, Ha » is gocmeN as t Canton %, Reading 1 retarding Findeon Bie 1 nton Ue | t iene batt, Cara ta fal repro cago ant two cent, Panaina 1, Louisville’ State Sixes 2, Miscour?

So far as its remarks apply to the former, asa great and usefal work, we fully concur. We never doubted or denied it, It\says, however, that The New York Heracp is the Hessian of th» stock market, Its warfare, whether oi attack or defence, is always for sale. The highest bidder among the strate- gists of Wall street, obtains its services. Supposing this to be correct, it reveals a curious fact. Itseoms that the Henato has been paid to speak the truth, Some Wall street ‘‘strategi-t,”” taking it into his head that ft would be a grand strike to operate on the intrinsic merits of stock,fhas placed himself in that posi- tion, and bid higher than any one else for the Heraun’s services, He has undoubtedly demanded that the Hr- | nai should institute a rigid sifting and discriminating process; that it should separate the good stocks from the bad; that the stocks that were too high the Herat should show, by facts and figures, wherein and why they were so, and vicr versa, He has undoubtedly instructed us, (as this has evidently been entered upon for a Ing teck,) to be extremely carefal not to say an 1 thing that was not perfectly correct, and tl § we could} if need be, prove; knowing (shrewd opera- tor, as he must be,) that one misstatement, one false c: 5 culation, would destroy the effect, as soon as discovere of a dozen good and true ones, in fact, we think we r § collect now that our strategist employer said to us, t the time he secured us, that he would rather giv thousand dollars than have us make a statement, by blunder or otherwise, that was not perfectly and abe § lutely true. It would be more than that amount damage to him, Undoubtedly this fellow will operate largeh (he must have made a heap of money already.) We should not be surprixed if he pwent the entire list through —going short.of everything he considered too high and long of everything that was too low, relying upon us to show the whys and wherefores. A good fellow this is truly, We confess there is an independent sort of air about him that we like; {t iain our vein; it is so much easier too to work on the right side of things; no lying, no qualms of consciences, no groping round in the dark to manuiacture ingenious stories, We have often pitied our poor bull cotompories, who feel that they must puff everything, good and bad, indiscriminately. An uphill business it has been to them, sometimes, we are certain. What a pity that some one would not buy up the editor of the Bening Jowrnal in the same way { that in regard to public men, the great questions of the day, politics in general, &e., he might take this tack ; that instead of trying to bend everybody and everything to his own self- iab purposes, cutting down and cutting up publis men without regard to “ right, duty or patriotism,” he would go in on the merits, the absolute, intrinsic merits, regard- lexs of his own little hates aud pride of power. What a revolution it would make! What a revolution in the man! We shouli not be surprised if such a change should take place, to meet him in heaven yet, What « revolution it would produce in politica—in the morals of the State! Indeed, it would be the most blessed event we can imagine. But, alas! we fear it is too late, He ia too old, Too long has he pursued the opposite courte.

If the directors of the @rie Railroad have water lots under Bergen Hill, probably our indignant correspondent has a few ‘‘on the south side of Jersey City.” The location of the terminus must benetit somebody, and, all other things being equal, we see no reason why the directorsshould not pocket the same ag well as @ stockholder:— TO THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD.

This frightened me, and many others, It is whis- pered that one or two of the directors are largely en- gaged in apeculation in water lote near this terminus, which influenced them to select this route or terminus, ference toone on the south side of Jersy City, which, iftaken, would avoid tunneling Bergen Hill, the purchasing of high priced loss in the centre of Jersy City, and would avoid the road” all the streets which connect Jersey City with Hoboken, which will always subject the road to , if not at some future time Tipit of ay and. depot ground, docks, ke, coud have way and de] ; +5 CON ve been secured for two hundred thousand doliare, as T-am credibly informed, If directors of railroads can and do use the company’s money to the tune of millions to raise the price of water lots, is it a wonder that there are nics in puch securities?
