rime.—The Silage Coach—tlie Steam bon t—the
Railroad.
It is universally coueedeil by ourselves, anil
by all the nations of the earth who know us,
that we are a ‘-lust people.” This epithet is
not only applicable to America." but
to ‘-Old America"—in short, it is aeharacteris
tie of tho nation at large. Sometimes the ju
venile element is wont to get ahead rather too
fast, but tlie conservatism of middle age—the
practical business thought and sinew of the
i laud—steps in and checks up the rampant
youth, and at the same time drags lip along
side of it tlie grey-haired, stand still "old fogy.”
ISo it comes out right iti the end ; and iu com
parison with all other people, and all other na
j tions, we are a fast people—a people whe are j
, bound to make tlie -‘quickest time on record.” i
, We were thinking of this great fact the oth
er day. after conversing with the agent of the
mail coach line, now on the road between SI.
I’aul and Dubuque. The time from Dubuque !
here is, or will be in a week or so, four days.—
The time from Dubuque to New York or Bos
ton, if the‘•connections*’ be properly met, is
two d..ys. Thus one can, now, at this season,
while our great river highway is closed by the
frosts of winter, attend divine service on one 1
Sabbath day in St. Paul, and the next Sabbath
be seated iu one of the churches of tiie Empire
City. St. Paul and Minnesota are not out of
the world it would seem, even amid the ice and
snows of winter.
But let us look farther. When navigation
again opens, aline of substantial, swift packet '
steamers will carry us, in ordinary stages of
water, from St. Paul to Dunleith in twenty
four hours. Thus, three days of the four which 1
we arc now required to lose upon the road will
be saved, and we will consequently find our
selves in New York or Boston in that much
less time after we leave home. On Monday
morning we start, and on Thursday of the same
week we take our dinners at tlie Revere, the
Astororthc Irving. Suppose we have only
siitticient business to occupy us in the city dur
ing the day-time ot Thursday and Friday, and
leftve on return by the ‘Lightning Express’’ on i
Friday evening. By this arrangement, early
ou Sunday morning we are ir. Chicago, where :
we must tarry, perhaps till the next morning : ■
aud on Monday evening just one week after
we were one hundred and fifty miles down the 1
river on the journey East,we are only the same
distance below that point on our return home
—haring meantime spent thirty-six hours in
one of the great Atlantic cities, anil twenty
four in Chicago. Tiiis is no highly-drawn or ex
onerated sketch of necessary traveling time :
it is not only a possibility but a probability that
•vill fiappon nevt summer, should unv one of
our citizens have the opportunity and inclina- ;
tion to try the experiment. We hope to sec it
practically illustrated by historical fact.
We will now take a look to the South. Four
hundred and lifty-five miles from Dunleith, by
the Ills. C. R. IL, brings us to Cairo, at the
junction of the Mississippi and Ohio rivers.—
From Cairo t.> New Orleans, steamers of not
the greatest speed, are in the habit of niakin g
three day ti ips. This is iluwn stream time we ;
are now speaking of, although tiiis time lias j
been made from point to point, up stream,
against the strong current of the Lower Mis
i
sisstppi. We will now calculate ordinary "Ex
press time" on the Central Road from Dunleith
to Cairo—which is thirty miles per hour —and
it gives us fifteen hours and ten minutes from j
'point to point. But not to comedown to min- 1
ntes, we will set the time at sixteen lion rs. We 1
then have the run from St. I'aul to New j
Orleans in this wise :
St. Paul to Dunleith.by Steamboat,. 21 hours j
! Dunleith to Cairo, by Railroad, 10 *•
i Cairo to New Orleans, by Steamboat 72 “ I
Time from St. Paul to New Orleans, 112 “
Or four days aud sixteen hours, only, from
the head of navigation on the Mississippi to
the great commercial metropolis of the South !
We will make all due allowances for way de
tention and say five days, or even five and a
half days.and tlicu w c arc as near New Orleans
as is the city of Cincinnati by the shortest run
ning time of the class of steamers plying thence
to New- Orleans. Here is another ‘‘sure thing”
which will be opened to our trade and conven
ience next season. By the time the ice is out
of Lake Pepin, the rails will be on the track
between Dunleitli and Cairo ; tlie packet boats
will be here and at Cairo to meet us, and we
can journey hence to the “Crescent City” in
five days, or less.
Drawing the veil from a very few years of
the future—in all probability less than three—
wc will not rely upon the Lower Mississippi
steamer, which requires all of three days to
carry us from Cairo to close proximity w ith the
Gulf of Mexico. The Mobile and Ohio Rail
road is rapidly progressing, aud will certainly (
be complet' d within that time. This line ex
tends from Mobile to Cairo, and w ill be inter
sected somewhere in the States through w hich
it passes by a road from New Orleans, already
in rapid course of construction. We have no
means before us of arriving at the exact length
of this road, but it caunot be over 650 miles.
Time over this line, according to calculations
above, say 24 or even 30 hours. From Mobile
to Havana is but two days’ sail for the ordina
ry class of sea steamers. We will repeat the
figures already given, with a view of showing
what we can do in traveling bouth from St.
Paul, after the Mobile and Ohio Railroad (now
all under contract aud a grant of lauds to back
[ it,) is completed :
From St. Paul to Dunleith 24 hours.
“ Dunleith to Cairo 10
“ Cairo to Mobile 30 “
“ Mobile to Havana 48 “
1 18 “
1 )r, two hours less than fire ituys from tills
Northern Metropolis to the sunny tropics, and
into the harbor of the gay capital of the Queen
! of the Antilles 1
I Thus it is indisputably shown, that we of St.
Paul are destined, next year, be in connec
tion with New York and Boston by three days'
travel, and in the course of a short period
thereafter, with Havana in five days.
Now let us conclude, by jumping over the
I. j “ ifs” and *‘ ands” which appear to stand out
-in the minds of some, with regard to cutting oft'
p this twenty-four hours of occasional steamboat
I time between St. Paul aud Dunleith, and see
I what we can do by reducing it to hours
j permanent railroad time, tlie year round—win
s! ter, spring, summer and fall. We will find, 1 y
I I this shortening of distance, the following rc
- j suits:

Tiie Weatilkp..—Our Southern fellow-citizens
who are passing their first winter in Minnesota,
i cannot certainly complain of yesterday. We
doubt mueli whether their old neighbors of New |
Orleans, Natchez, St. Louis, Ac., hail a day so j
mild and spring-like. In the afternoon it was
bl ight sunshine, and comfortable without fires j
to any one sitting at home.
Il.l.S.Crntpai. K ut.no.u).—The statement we j
copy to-day from the Chicago Tribune has not .
been compiled without a full knowledge of all
| the facts before the editor, and may therefore
be relied upon. Il shows a degree of progress
; towards the completion of the great work we
! had scarcely thought possible. To Duntiith
i by the 1 bth of April is now the positive prom
j isc, and we are quite sure it will be fulfilled,
owing to the fact that the work is in such a
state of forwardness that it will require scarce- ,
ly an exertion to accomplish the cud.
_ZH- Late dates from Texas say that the Go
vernor of that State lias determined to issue
proposals tor another contract for constructing
Pacific Railroad.
i
Tuk Abci.ic Disaster. —The Bar of the city
of New York has taken steps, to institute a le
gal investigation of the circumstances attend
ing the loss oi the Arctic. Tlie New York Times
says, it has reason to believe, that the- owners
of the line will oppose the proceeding. It
■ says, that Mr. Collins himself lias dismissed the
1 gallant Dorian from service, and denied bitn j
the usual certificate of good conduct and char- j
I actcr. because he stated facts about the wreck j
which the owners ol the line did not wish to j
have made public. Dorian.it will be re-mem- ;
t bered, w as the only one of the officers w ho dis- t
charged faithfully hi# duty at the time of the •
disaster. Such conduct deserves better usage,.
! and the course of the managers of the line will :
| meet with a most lie: -»y condemnation from !
1 the public.
! Kansas Election.—An election for Delegate j
I in Congress, says the Galena Advertiser, from

1 We shall soon hear the'result. Much excite
ment existed at the last accounts, arising from j
the slavery question, lion. Robert P. FYennc- ;
1 kin was the Anti-Slavery candidate, and Gen. j
J. IV. Whitfield the Slavery candidate. The i
supposition is common, that Whitfield will sue
creil by menu# of assistance from Missouri. II j
the election is carried by such a sort of "Pla- i
quemine fraud,” it will in the end be a dear
victory to tbe slavery party.

27 miles lurther down, or to Wabash Point. At
tlie 173*1 mile south of Chicago, and 44 miles
below l rbana, tbe Terre Haute and A.ton Rail
road crosses the Chicago Branch, and a party
of track-layers will be put on in season to fur
nish the Terre Haute and Alton Road with iron
lo enable them to lay cast, to meet their track
approaching from l’aris.
We consider this connection with the south
east to be one of great value to the Central
Road and to oar city, as it carries the road into
one of the best farming portions of the State,
and affords the most direct route from Chicago
to Terre Haute, (it being 17 miles nearer than
any other route) Indianapolis, Louisville, and
Cincinnati, and gives us the directest inter
course with the Pennsylvania and Ohio Central,
the Pennsylvania Central, and the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroads, and opens Chicago to tbe
business centres of Ohio, Indiana and Ken
tucky. 1 his point can easily lie illustrated by
reference to any recent map of the country.
The time of making this connection, which
w ill probably tie the Ist of March next, will de
pend on the progress of the construction ol the
Terre Haute anil Alton R. R.
The Illinois Central Railroad Company pro
pose to complete the balance of tbe Chicngo
Branch during the summer of 1855, and have
nearly a year and a half of surplus time on this
portion of the line.

Washington, Not. 27.
Mr. Piatt, Secretary of Legation at Paris, ar
rived in town to-day, bringing despatches
which, unless rumor is entirely at fault, will
prove a text for much talk in Washington and
out. Their contents, at least, are understood
to lie interesting anil highly important. Our
Secretary of State is not well pleased with the
behaviour ot Ministers to Spain and France.
Both Mr. Soule and Mr. Ma<-ou he holds to have
recklessly committed our government in that
awkward affair —the interference with the move
ments of Mr. Soule by France.
There is reason to suspect, indeed, that our
Secretary w ill not be at liberty to digest at bis
leisure, and quietly, bis own impressions on
the subject. For Sir. Mason is very likely to
lie dismissed from the French Court, while Mr.
Soule is almost certain to be dismissed from
Madrid. Both have anticipated dissatisfaction
on the part of our Government, and have writ
ten home with that reference. Their exclusion
cannot be resented, as we have repeatedly re
cognized the right of a Government to decline
intercourse with a Minister who is offensive to
it. Mr. I’iatt’s despatches probably have refer
ence to this matter.
I. .vst Kansas Emigration Party. —The fifth
and last party of emigrants from tbia city to
Kansas left yesterday afternoon, under tbs
charge of Mr. Chnrles 11. Branscomb. of Ilol
yke, agent of the Emigrant Aid Company.—
I ’('hey left in good spirits, ihe party number
i eil thirty when it reached Springtied, where
three more joined it. A much larger number
would have gone had not the Aid Company
discouraged further emigration at this late pe
riod of the season. No other party will be sent
out until spriDg. —Boston Tel., 22 <1.
pfr- The annual sweepings of the streets of
Paris sell for $70,000 after they are collected
at the depot, for manure.
