The phenomena of growth in America, Bow the most cheering study of the cconowmist, were one time rudely marked by the building of new coun between what now appear ooly as p ‘The frontier of civilization scemed in those primitive daye, ere Fulton had conquered the waters with their own clement, just as we may have yet to subdue the navigable air, a very remote halting © to lumber- T towns ing teams nnd Conestoga wagous, ‘That early boun- | dary defines a very ordinary business journey in these | Drisk timos; and our intelloctual travel over the same | routs would be inconceivably brief to the people who got late news of Fulton's invention, though it is now such a_matter of every-day vitality to the many- minded multitade who receive news by lightuing from London without a wink of surprise. The muscle of man and beast once counted for much; but man's mind, with steam and electricity, have wronght | wonders. The tracks of national growth were once marked out by the hoof; later by the railroad, steam- boat and the telegraph; recently, by a vast addition of all these, the latter inveution, acting as no other ean, as the mereurial, inspiring spirit, of all new | marvelsof enterprise, Thanksto the telograph, weare building o swift passage between two seaboards, | thousands of miles distant, which otberwise might re- | main comparative strangers for generations. The continental undertaking of a great railroad to the Pa- cific, urged and inspirited not more by Watt's steam than Morse's electricity, will make the remote seaport of San Francisco kuown to New-York as brother is known to brother. Here progress, it seems, might reasonably pause if only torecuperate. But the journey of civilization is never done; the world never rests, New-York and San Francisco do not completo the story of national growth; it has threads in spinning by which the sea must know new cities, new communities, new peo- ples—such a magnifying of his discovery as Christopher Columbus - never dreamed. Perbaps Norfolk and Chicago will know each other better than San Fran- cisco will know New-York, Doubtless, Virginia will bo brought amicably and irresistibly in the plot, and the problem of complete and porfect union between North, East, South and West solved more by railroad reconstruction than by any other. Make a world's bighway between San Francisco and New-York, and all these things may be added unto us and the world. We yesterday received our mails from the ex- treme continent of Australasia, for the third time, by an American route, Heretofore, Australian news has reached us by way of India, Suez and London, after about 66 days, or more than two months. By the Panama route these mails may arrive in New-York in 3% days, or three weeks sooner than they could come by way of London. Though the telegraph on the Suez route has ehortened the news journey to London, and the Atlautic cable has brought the great continents nearer, we hold that the advantage derived from the American route i3 signally important in respect to pews. But the gain, in & business sense, has a far wider significance, ‘We know that New-York can communicate with Australia tweuty days sooner than can London, and that England can reach to ber dis- tant possestion at least & weck earlier by way of Papsma than by way of Suez. It takes about 60 days voyage to London by the route of Sues and India, ‘while it little more by the Panama route than wfi’i‘. ere is & mammoth prize of time-saving which the commerce of America ought to know how to use bountifully.

But deliverance was to come in an entirely unexpected way; and the long-deferred patriotic hope - of Ttaly at length found its fulfillment wben the prile nod power of Austria were effectually humbled on the | fields of Koniggratz and Sadowa by the ry | prowess of Prussia and the deati-deaiing nccile gun. And at last Venatia s free, and Venice, that once **sat in state,” after all her humiliation her sufforings, welcomes the gallant and fortunate King of Italy as the sovereign of her choice, tendecing nim her alle. giance with a unauimity and enthusiasm without patallel in the annals of any nation. Of the festive rejoicings which attended this glorious event, of the imposing ceremonials and the gorgeous pageant- ry which marked the new birtheday of the Queen of the Adriatic, our correspondence has given full details, which bave mo doubt been perused by our readors with feelings of the liveliost interost and most heartfelt gratification. There is bat one slight drawback to the pleasure with which we read of the rejoicings of the Veunetians. It is found in tho fact that,in the final struggle with Austria, Ttaly suffered some serious reverses in fight. But, although the fortunes of war were against her when she met the Austrians in battle, the bravery of hersons leaves the national character untarnished; aud, although her military prestigs has suffered some- what, she has proved herself a foe worthy of the steel of the finest soldiery of any country in Europe. It could be wished that she had by ber unaided arm struck down the usurper's powor and achieved her own deliverance, But it was ordered otherwise;- and 50 long a8 her freedom was not won without beroio effort on hor part, nor by means inconsistent with the national honor, every lover of liborty will rejoice in the deliverance she has obtained, and heartily wish her a career of unbrokon prosperity. There is one featurs of peouliar aud striking signifi- cance in this whole business to which the future historian of modern Italy oau hardly fail to give prominence in narrating the national struggle for indepeudence. It fs that the movement has been essontially demooratic in its charactor. Itis true that Kipes. pod princes, aud nobles haye borus army jo the succceded in se Napoleon's n. | the people t 1866, cause, and shared with the common soldiers the perils of the battle-field. and and found its clief strength in the enthusiastie support of the masses.

The question of the right of colored citizens to vote is now before the Courts of New-York, and will soon | arise in argument before thosa of New-Jersey. The case in this city comes up under the Registry Law, and the applicant or plaintiff is so white that the deli cate taint which in the microscopic eyes of Shylock’s justice marks him out for political excommunication, is 50 vague as to be stingnishable, DBut he has it notwithstandi “ wavy bair,” somewhat erisp, we presume, is proof of it, for capillaries have for ¢ & year heen considered by the best Southern and Northern authorities as good evidence of blood in lling or kidnapping. A hair’s breadth is the measure of the offense; otherwise, he is as white s most voters, and quite as intelligent and respecta- | ble as a good many; for he has the manhood, the sonse, and the means to forward his cause, and con- test his right. A Board of Registers of the Eighteenth Ward, with a delicate sense of blood, discovered, after some pains, that this gentleman was a negro, and thereupon, as in conscience bound, inflicted upon him a deprivation of political rights. The suit pending is utterly irrespective of the prop- erty qualification in the colored franchise of this State, the plaintiff claiming that he has the same right to vote as any other man as white or black as himself. His counsel, Mr. Gilbert, now appeals from the decision of the Registrars, and insists that, before again suffering punishment, bis client shall be tried and convicted by a jury, who shall once for all de- termine, if possible, what infinitessimal viciousness runs in bis blood, aud what filaments of erime cling about him in every wavy hair of his head. Whether the judge will agree with him, or decide the matter “on inspection,” as he claims to do, is of course ouly in the breast of that officer; but we do not wonder that the proposition excited smiling. The only wonder is that a provision of the State Constita- tion, inflicting a penalty without defining or poiuting out the means of determining the offense, should not long ago have suuk into desuctude amid inextinguish- able laughter.

At a conferenee of the Second Anditor and Second Controller of the Treasury, it wns decided that colored troops should not be required to prove that they were free April 19, 1561, as has previously beea required.
