The London News and the Pacific Railroad.We publish to-day an article from the London

News, more for the purpose of showing the viewsthey lake of this great American cnterprize, andits effects upon institutions peculiar to the South¬ern States and the general stability of the Union,than from any concordance it has with our own.views of the subject. That the completion of thePacific Railroad, will create a revolution in thecommerce of the world, and give the United Statesthe advantage in the competion for the trade of the

East, appears plain to us by a causual glance a*the question; and should the road be thrown openfor the transportation of the manufactures of For¬

eign countries, we still have the advantage ofnearness of market, and the still greater advantage»-the power to levy contributions upon the com¬

merce of other nations, whose enterprise or neces¬

sity may induce them to embrace the benefits ofler-ed by this great American thoroughfaie.We agree with the News, in favoring the Nor¬

thern route.Northern, in contradistinction to

that suggested by the Memphis Convention.butwc arrive at this opinion from a different course

of reasoning than that of the News, and the sound¬ness of which we will not now discuss; but itappearsevidentto us, that the route commencingat the Missouri river, and bearing towards the

genial climate of New Mexico, is the most naturalone, presenting fewer .obstacles from countryand winter snows than any other, and possessingthe great consideration of a salubrious climate,and a country so strewn with flowers, and the

grander beauties ofnature, as always to present tothe eye pleasing and agreeable imageries. But letthisroad be built in whatever latitude it may, theeffecton the commerce & industry of the countrycan be but beneficial, and instead of weakening,will tend to strengthen the bond of our Union.in fact, bind it as with a "hoop." As to the ef¬fect the building of this road will have on slavery,we believeitwill bejust noneat all; that the inter¬est! ofthe Southern Statesjin this respect will be no

more effected by it, than is the same interest in

Virginia disturbed by the opening of the Balti¬more and Ohio Railroad, or will be disturbed bythe opening of the Central Ohio, or Marietta andCincinnati roads. The effect, if any, will be in¬

direct, and beneficial to this branch of the indus¬

try of the country; by the increased commerce

causing an increased demand for Southern sta¬

ples, thereby creating an advance in their price,and a consequent enhancement of slave labor.In 110 other way, do .we believe it can effect thisinterest of the South.

jjThe1 Philadelphia & Baltimore Railroad Com¬pany have closed a contract with the SouthwnrkRailroad Company, leasing their line of railroadfor 15 yearsat six ptr cent, on the cost of the roadafter itshall be put in complete order by the relay-ins of the track, &c. The Southwark railroad ex¬

tends from the Baltimore Company's Liepot on

Broad street, Philadelphia, to the river Delaware,at the foot of Prime street. By, therefore, the es¬

tablishment of a steam ferry and the extension ofthe New York Railroad to a point on the New Jer¬sey idiore opposite Prime street, an almost unbro¬ken line of railroad from New York to Baltimore,allording superior facilities for the transmission ofthiough passengers and freight, without the delayand expense attending a transit, as at present,through ihe streets of Philadelphia. The con¬

struction of the bridge over the Susquehanna willbe another feature in these improvements, whichwhen rendered complete, will shorten the time re¬

quired for a trip between Baltimore andNew Yorkseveral hours..Halt. Avirr.

The President and Col. Benton..The Wash¬

ington correspondent of the Baltimore Patriotsays.

It is shrewdly whispered here among the know¬

ing political circles that a blow up is to be had inthe course of a few days, between the Presidentand Col. Thomas Hart Benton, ostensibly on thesubj ct of the appointment of a Postmaster for St..Louis, but really to bring about another and a

in j.st important schism in the Democratic party,which is greatly to ensure to the benefit of "OldBullion," who, rumor says, designs to run for thePresidency at the next heat, on his own hook, no-

lens volens, and in spite of all conventions or kingcaucus nominations.

Vessel Ashore..The new clipper schooner,C. P. Williams, built at Michigan City, forThos.Dyer of Chicago; went ashore on the Southwestshcre of the South Msnitou, in a fog, on Tuesdayr.iglit, the "wind blowing fresh from the South.She struck ill 9 feet water, the bottom clay androck, and had a cargo of 17,000 bushels of wheat.Vessel insured in New York Companies for 812,-000, cargo at GO cents per bushel ill the BuffaloMutual and Chicago Mutual. The propeller Illi¬nois left Chicago to go to the relief of the schoon¬er Friday evening.

Turnino the Tables..The Rochesltr DailyAdvertiser, the leading Hunker press of WesternNew York, reads the Washington Union out ofthe regular Democratic party because of the lat-ter's affinities to abolitionism! and for abettingand apologizing for freesoilism and freesoil lead¬ers. This is pretty good. The Union recentlyread the New York Post out of the party forsomething of the same kind. It is evident thatanother "platform* is needed..Phil. Ledger.

A Printing Office for Women..The NewYoik Post notices the following sign of modernprogress:

"Mrs. Phebe Patterson proposes to open an of¬fice for the instruction of women in the variousbranches of type-setting, printing, &c. Mis Pat¬terson is herself an intelligent practical printer.She designs to take girls as apprentices to the art,who will be promptly paid lor their work, just inproportion to their capacity, diligence and pro¬gress. She will have n pleasant and comforableroom,occupied exclusively by women, at21C Ful¬ton street."

Stof That!.Will our country cotemporaries,in speaking of the Comet, pleas? stop calling it au"illustrous slranger?" Our New York Alderman,it ought to have been known, are always on thescent for such things, and if they once git it intotheir heads that the Comet i3 coming to "see theinstitution," nothing can save the municipal ex¬

chequer from another "appropriation." We trust,therefore, that the comet will be called a Comet,mid nothing else. We havealready had enough of"distinguished strangers.".N. Y. Express.

Texas Improving..The Texas correspondentof the New York Times estimates that upwards of200,000 emigrants have settled in Texas withinthe past year. Railroad and common school ed¬ucation are the two prominent topics ofcouversn-tion.

From the London News, July 27.

The Pacific Railroad and the Integrity andStability of tho Union.

Our active American relations are in a stale ofgreat eagerness about a new enterprise, in theexecution of,which all the civilized world willwish them well. They are not now sounding thetrumpet and marshalling their forces for war

against dwellers on their own continent, hut prom¬ising the shriek of Ihe steam whistle, and promi¬sing to open a highwayof peace, in tl.e form of n

railroad, which shall unite the commerce of theEusttrn and Western worlds; which shall run

from the Atlantic to the Pacific. It was remarked,with some curiosity, that while the Conventionheld at Memphis a few weeks since could agreeon none of the immediate objects of their confer¬ence, they came to a decision on one point, be¬fore supposed collateral, tosupportwith the wholestrength of the South the project of a railway tothe Pacific. And the North and Westshow them

pelvys now no less eager and ready. W ith theusual rapidity of their national purpose, they are

bending their wills to people the deserts wherethe buffalo are browsing in innocent security, andtu bridge the rivers which have hardly yet heardthe mingling of human voices with their own roar.

Laud surveying, with its seven league boots, isbestriding the prairies, and making 110 moreofthepassage of the Kocky Mountains, than if theirprecipices were a flight of garden steps, leading to"fresh fields and pastures new." The foot-printsof the geometrical giant mark the spots where sta¬tions are presently lo arse, and simial posts tolist their warning fingers, and platforms to belaiddown, whence the doctrine and exhortation willday and night be practically given forth, to "goahead." The Indian and the bulTalo will hidethemselves afar off, and be equally at a loss toknow what it all means. The prairie dog willburrow deeper, and the herds of wild horses willscamper more wildly with the wind, when thesteam horse snorts and pants and shrieks afterihem from behind. The .Mormons will appoint a

day of fast and humiliaiion; because they are not

permitted to find the ends of the earth, more thanthe Jews the end of their wandering. The whaleswill slink away from the Pacific shore, and 011

the opposite coast the Asiatics will come down logaze and hearken, from the Kussian in his furs tothe Malav iu his cotton scarf.

Will it be done? Can it be done? Why nol?ask the Americans. The only wonder to them is,that it was not done long ago. The Englishmanwho once saw Pitt and Fox, and the lust numberof the Edinburgh Review, says that be remembersthe discovery of that American interior, and thenoise that was made by the travels of Lewis andClarke, who described such a region of wildernessa? it is preposterous to suppose can begin to sup¬port habitation and traffic for a century to come.

The American is saying, meantime, that his nationis growing as lazy as any of the Old World peo¬ples; that Lewis and Clarke had told us all aboutthe interior of the contiuent so long ago as beforehis grandfather died. The whole thing shouldhave been at work before this time, and he cannotimagine what the world is waiting for. The workwill 110 doubt be begun. When and how it willbe finished is a matter of more doubt, though it is

probably only a question of time. The last Con¬gress made an approprialicn for the purpose ol a

triple survey of a western route; and now everyCongress, great and small, from the halls of theLegislatures to the village tea-table, is vociferous¬ly discussing the project. That tie thing is to bedone is quite settled, and everybody insists thatthe success is 110 less decided. The mere settle¬ment of the country along the route, will pay forthe road and "plant;" and the goods and passen¬ger traffic will be all pofit. All that is disposed ol,with all the antecedents anu consequences of in¬creased production in the Southern Slates, increas¬ed manufactures iu the North; more hogs killed bymillions in Ohio; more grain grown 111 the Westthan Tamboir could ever boast; visitors fromKamptschatka, and Shanghai and llalavia, to theVirginia Springs; the transit of the Aragos, andllerschells and Karadays through the Stales, to thescientific meetings which will be held at Pekin,when the Chinese gets their own again; toil takenfrom the world, in passing this new bridge overthe gulf of barbarism.these results are all clearand certain. It is quite another matter that en¬

grosses all the serious argument ol the case. Inall serious questions.a 11,ore serious one than isolten offered lo a mail's tree choice.When we slate what the question is, namely,

which of the three proposed loutes shall be pre¬ferred, the doubt is not about the difficulty of lulland dale, rock and swamp, lior even about thedepth of the snows, and the intensity of the heats.Serious as such matters are to the engineer, themerchant and the emigrant, there are graver con-Mdeiatious for the statesman to weigh. In a wordthere is a deep and spreadiug fteling among theAmericans, that the completion of Heir I acilicrailway will bring to the test the stability of theirUnion, and the apprehension is seen by those whobest know their country and their politics, not tobe unreasonable, if the northernmost route is

chosen, it will be sustained by the whole farce ofEuropean immigration, which certainly wou d notbe the case with the southern routt, which wouldnot suit eilher the physical or the moral constitu¬tion of the Germans, Dutch, Swedes, and Uritish,who are continually passing to the west of theStates. The delegates who met at Memphis werecharged with the advocacy of a Southern routewhich would intersect Texas and Mexico, andcome out at the Gulf of California. i he mostprominent hope Irom the latter scheme is, that theSouth will at last fluurish like the North, and havewhat the planters call "fair play" for their "pecu¬liar institution." The preponderance of tne South111 Congress has not availed to give her prosperity,and she now demands anolher chance in the firstpossession of the grandest railway in the world..it is interesting lo all the world to know how farshe is right. The world's opinion is in general, we

believe, that railroads and their activity, and slave¬ry with its anomalies, caunotco-exist. Thatisouropinion. We should apprehend that there mightbe some extension south-westwards of the institu¬tion of slavery, in the American form, from the ac¬tivity which would be created along the line andat the end of it, but we have very little doubt thaislavery would cease in the existing AmericanSlates, which are seizingon this new method ofma¬king 11 answer, and its introduction further downIhe line would hardly, perhaps, be an aggravationof the present condition of those who would thenbe slaves; add to which there would be a certain¬ty of a speedy emancipation from the same causeswhich would have wrought higher up. Weshouldheartily wish success to Ihe South in her strugglefor the road, ii we did not believe that the same re¬

sults to her would follow in the case of the roadbeing anywhere, while the danger of the extensionof the area of slavery is less in the case of .1 north¬ern route. Either way.any way in which a rail¬road is concerned, with all its influx of intell'genceand sympathies.transmutation of slavery into a

higher orderof productive service is secure, astheSouth will find iu her own case.willfind we trust,with a satisfaction she little anticipates. Mean¬time, the contest abcut the route is likely to be a

very serious one; and, when that is settled, theworking of the project will be attended w.lh ex¬treme anxiety, till it is seen whether the interestsand the views and the temper of the North and theSouth can I e so reconciled, as that lime and tactshall consolidate and uotexplode the Union, whichcan hardly be more dear to American citizens thanit is interesting to all true citizens of the great em¬pire of civilization.

Singular Cise ok Damage bv Lightning..TheNewark Advertiser contains a very circumstantialaccount of tile damage dune to a house in thatcity by lightning during a recent thunder-storm..The house hail attached to it a lightning :od, andthe article in the Advertiser is written to show thatthe roil in this case was wholly useless, becausethe lightning came out of the earth and struckupwards through the house to the clouds; and thewriter seriously asks what is to be done to protectour habitations Item lightning coining up out of theearth? In this instance the underside of the joistsiu the cellar are damaged, and splinters, &c.,throughout the house up to the roof, are cast insuch directions.sometimes thrown partly up thestairways.as clearly to indicate an upward courseby the lightuing, which finally escaped at the caves.Hereisacase for the scientific to settle. Wu sug¬gest to our Newark friend that perhaps to cause ofthis damage was nut lightning at all, but that itlimy have been the "spontaneous explosion" ofsome "villainous saltpetre" not yet' 'dug from thebowels of the earth."

A Regular Iuudlk..While at the North A-inericau mine a few days ago, the following inci¬dent occurred: A little boy, only eight years old,playing with a younger brother, fell down No. 2shaft, a perpendicular distance of 63 feet, andstruck upon the head andsback of a Cornish manwho was at work at the liottom of the shaft, andbounded off into a kibble of water/ without injury.The boy gathered himself up, uet as he was, andran up the ladders, the miner ill full chase be¬hind, threatening to whip him.for, said he,"anybody might see that the little divil done it apurpose."Medical..The American Pharmaceutical Asso¬

ciation held its annual session at Boston, on

PROSPECTUS OF THEWASHINGTON SENTINEL.

J PROPOSE to publish in the city of Washington, inSeptember, a political paper, undor the name of the

"h?doing"£o"u"is proper1 »bou'd nuke known the pnnci-pies it xvill maintain and thepolic, itw Uad-fOcate

It will support cordially and earnestly the principles orthe Democratic KertMican parly of the United State,. Itdoes not propose to bo the organ or any department of theGovernment, except in so far as an independent mainte¬nance of the doctrines of that party may represent its opin¬ions andexpress its views.

It will "o1 l»c ambitious to commend itself to the peopleby a blind flattery ot their rulers. It will seek public sup¬port by the bold avowal of the sentiments which are com¬

mon to the genuine Deinociacy of tlio Union, and by thocondemnation of all such as may conflict with them, fromwhatever quarter they may come. It will seek to he Candit will cudeavor to deserve the title) the crgan of the Dem¬ocratic party or the United states.The Sentinel will maintain, as a fundamental truth of

that great partj, that the States formed the U nion betweenthem by the ratification of the Constitution as a compact;by which also they created the Federal Government, anddelegated to it, as their common agent, the powors ex

piessly specified in it, with an explieit reservation of allothers to the States, or to their separate governments.-.The exercise ol any powers beyond those thus delegated is

tnerelorc an usurpation of the reserved authority ol theStat#s by the agent of their own creation.The Sentinel will uphold and defend tho Union upon the

basis ot the rights or the States.under the Constitution.and thus b/ sedulously guarding the latter it will the more

effectually strengthen and perpetuate the former.With regard to the ecercise or the power* or the teuo-

ral Government, the Seiitinel will take as the principles orits action that Congress shall exercise 110 power which hasnot been delegated by the Constitution, accord ng to a

strict and lair interpretation oritslang- age and spirit? ana

that it shall not seek to attain indirectly an object througlithe exercise or constitutional poicert for the attain-

meut or which it has no delegation of power. Jii otucr

words, all powers exercised must be clearly grantcii, anuall granted powers must be used for no purpose exceptsuch as is ciearly intended by tne Constituion.

In rcspect to the internal administration of the Govern-m-nt the Sentinel will sustain the settled policy or the De»inocratic party. It will labor to inculcate this ordinaldoctrine of Democratic internal policy.that this Govern-mcnt will best promote the freedom and prosperity or tne

people or the States by being less ambitious to exerciscpower and more anxious to preserve liberty; and by leav*iiwr to the individual States the management or all their doinestic coiiDerns.while it contents itsell with guardiug thetoulcderacy rromexlernal violence, and directing the Toreign policy or the country to the promotion or the commoninterests, and defence or the common rights and honor orthe States composing it.The Sent.nel will advocate such a progressive loreign

policy as will suit itself to the exigencies and correspoudwith the expanding interests o the country 'I hat po.icyshould be energetic and decided; but should temper firm¬ness with liberality, and make its highest ends consistwith the strictest principles ofjustice. The real interestsof the country upon each occasion demanding attentionwillbe its guide in the course the Se itinel will puasue-The national policy of the world in this age is essential¬

ly aggressive In the growing sense ot weakness ol someof the nitions or the Old World, and the ambitious iest-tessness or others, a coirmon motive to colonial extensionhas developed itseir.Our settled determination to repel all interference r.om

abroad with our own domestic concerns will prompt us toavoid it in the affairs or other countries, unlets by theirforeign or colonial policy our peace should be threatened,our security endangered, or our interests invaded. frorwhen the selfish interests or other nations prompt a for¬eign or colonial policy which infringes upon our rights andplaces in tho pathway or ourcoinmeice a dangerous nndunfriendly rival, such a policy must be resisted by remon¬strance, and if need be by war.

,Our foreign policy should indeed be defensive; but to bepi operly defensive It must sometimes be apparently aggtes-.sire. Our Administration should be vigilant, watchful,and cnergetic. Tho world is full or important movements,commercial and political,deeply conct ruing American tradeand American power. It is time wo hadau American tor-eign policy. We must have it. JJ'e cannot avoid it iT wewould. He have larger interests and a greater stake in theworld and its destiny than every other people. We occu¬

py the best portion or a continent, with 110 neighbors but a

colony and a worn out anarchical despotism. We are theonly people whoso own land, without colonial dependen¬cies, is weshed by the two great oceans of the wor'.d. Ouragricultural production are more varied and more essen*tiarto civilized lile and to human progicss.our mineraland manufacturing resources more vast.our facilities andcapacity for internal and loreign commerce more extendedthan those or any other people living under one govern¬ment. A continent to a great extent unexplored.^ and ex-haustless in its yet hidden wealth is at oui feet. Europeantrade seeks the great East through avenues which ai e atour doors, or must bo made through our own limits. Eu¬rope, Asia, ATrica. and the isles ol the sea, lying all aroundus, look to us as the rising power, through the agency orwhose example, and ever widening and extending, thoughpcaceiul influences, the blesiings or liberty, civilization,and religion, are destined to triumph over the barhaiismand superstition or the millions or the world. Aid shallsuch a people icfiise to lay hold upon their destinv and actupon the high mission to which it is called? A mission sofull of hope", though so laden with responsibility, which, Hproptrly directed, must make our confederacy the harbin¬ger of peaco to the world as well as the pcaceiul arbitratoror its destiny.The Sentinel will, tnereiore, advocate a lold and earnest

foreign policy, such as the condition or the country de¬mands. but it will advocate it under the fi'ig of Iff country.nowhere else. Its ioieign policy must be consistent withtne spotless honor and unimpeachable good faith of thecountry To be respectable at home and abroad, and to begreat in the eyes of the world, it must ask for noihing butwhat is right and submit to nothing that is wrong, ltmustbe liberal and magnanimous io the rights of others, amifirm and immovable in insisting on its own. It must, 111fine, be true to its own interests, rights and honor.it can¬not then be false to thosaof other nations.Such, then, is tho chart by which we shall be guided. In¬

dependent and free, we shall endeavor to be honest andtruthful The true friends of Democratic principles weshall cordially support and defend. Its enemies in thefieldcr in ambush we shall oppose, and on all proper occasionsdenounce.To our future brethren of the pless we extend the hand

of rriendly greeting. The Sentinel is the rival of 11 . pressof its own party.the personal cuciny of hone of the other.The presenL Democratic Administration has our best

wishes forits success in tue establishment of the great prin¬ciples upon which it came into power; and in its honest la-oors to attain such un end it will find the Sentine 1 a friendand coadjutor.Nkrms: For the daily paper §10 a year, in advance. For

1 consider your Tincture the greatest discovt ry of theace; and poor suffering humanity ought to erect a monu¬ment to in .

In making mention olmy case to a friend, he referred me to Joseph K.
