3 spar Nagnee sra eens aily Transcript, THURSDAY MORNING. DEC. 8th. _ — THE Paciric. HAiLROAB.— Phe im por tance of a Pacific rallroad to.the welfare of California, as a means of commercial advans, tage, and especially as a. means of defense, we had supposed to be unquestioned. While the whole State is interested in the construction of this great work, San Francisco is so peculiarly to be benefitted by it, that we read with amazement the tirades of ‘a lending journal, the Alta, published in that city, against the enterprise alteady,.auccessfully inaugureted,—and being-pushed with. vigor . from either-extremity. That sinister influences dre at work, designed to prevent the fulfillment of the hopes of the State, and arrest the work, isas apparent as it is diagrace~ ful.: We can find no higher motive for the continual attempt ty. cripple the great. en= terprise in any article which has come. ah“der-our. notice than a dissntisfaction with _ workers are in the’ in inthe past. . the route selected ; although we fail to see what vital interest San-Eranciscocin have in fighting any route gut’of the State which engineers, «frum. scientific considerations, deem most feasible. We are compelled to the ‘conélusion that the ita and its con ttfest of petty toll roads, ‘whose profits wilt’ be ‘destroyed by any railroad acfoss the iGantains; and that they are disposed to prevent capitalists from subscribing to. the road, and the rendering of State and city aid to the work, that their clients may still onerously tax the business of thia State and Nevada, as they have done ¥ It is possible that a better route .over the mountains might have been found, but we have no evidence of it, “That this route is practicable we "know by the testimony of honorable, scientific engineers. : That. it ia the route selected and the one on i which the road must be built if at all; the Toute on which part of the road ia construct. ed; the routercontemplated in all the effect. ive actiont legisiative or otherwise, so. far had, is notcapable of dispute. Break down this enterprise abd who con promise any other? Whacan. say the Pacific railroad will ever be built if the counsel of its; ene mies, uttered through the Alta, is followed ? And who shall take the responsibility of defeating the ardent wish of the people of this State that the Pacific railroad, by whatevér route, shall be constructed ? The motives that induced the people of this State for long_years to crave the aid of the Government for‘this great work, and which at last influenced Congress to, give a liberal part of the means for its construcs tion, are as potent tu-day as they ever were. What were those motives? We find a full presentation of them in a speech inade by ‘As A. Sergent, ia January, 1862, in the House of Representitives, accompanying a bill which he then offered, substantially the same ag the one afterwards passed, and which das the first word uttered in favor ot the railroad atthe Congress which passed the bill. After directing the attention-ol the House to. the pledges that had theretofore been made for its construction by all par-". ties, the special recommendations “ot the Presidente to Congress, and insisting thata pledge made by a party to induce confidence in its purposes became a responsibility when that party succeeds to power, and that the Republican party had incorporated such apledge into ite platform, he proceeded to show the growth of the Pacific empire and its value to the Union. The results ot a war’with a foreign maritime power -he sketched as follows: “The position of the people of California, and of the whole Pacific coast, in the event of a war with any maritime power, ia an uvenviable one. We are not situated asare our sister States of the Atiantic slope, The Enatera States possess within thewselves elements of power and selfsreliance which will enable them to sustain themselves in time of either peace ot war. Their line of seacoast, thebr lakes and maritime cities; are protected by defensive fortifications, which ean secure them trom = invasion, . Their fields of mineral wealth, of iron and cool, are already developed, aud they will find their weual markets through the channels of communication which have already been made, and whicha foreign war cannot close, manulacturiug establishments are sufficiently extensive and varied to enable them to mintfacture w thin themselves every article which their necessities may require. The great garden and storehouse ot the West, which has hitherto supphea food not only for _ the consumption of the Atlantic States, but ‘ communication will be ) via Ca for the needy millions of foreign countries, will be open still, and willbe drawa upon only for the suppert of the people of thuse States. The network of railroads ‘and canals, whose ramifications pervade and exteod to every part of the country, will still continue in operation, and nffurd their euss tomary facilities for the transportation of pubhe and private stores of goods, still be available for the purposes of Government, in rapidly concentrating its troopd uxt any _res uired point. : “But how is it with ue? Members of the same. Cunfederation, we are more distant from our mother land than is India from the Liritish Isles. In case of a foreign war, we possess neither the power nor means to suce eesefully defend ourselves frem the assaults of our foes. The Isthmus route, now available aud open,'will then be closed. Our only water : ora; a jeurney of over fifteen thousand miles, re-quiring four to five months. to” mafie the Their . passage in clipper ships, and this assailable by the enemy's vessels its whole length.— Even supposing a vessel-fortunate enough to escape the attentions of the enemy's cruiserson the Atlantic, she must then run the gauntlet of the Pacific; and on arriving at San Francisco, how will she pass the enemy's blockading fleet? -No, sir} thesfirstresult of a foreign war willbe the entire ‘destruction of our commerce. We are. confined like the fox inhis hole, tinable toadyance or retreat.’ After showing that from the peculiar con« figuration of our State ifan enemy obtained a foothold-upon our soil the operations of the husbandman would be destroyed, that usefulness or luxury would leap suddenly _upwards to starvation rates, so that-Califors via would realize the miserfes of Atitwerp, the insufficiency, ofthe fortifications in San Francisco -harbor to protect that city, and of the best fortifications if the garvis.n were cut off from supplies’ of ammunition and food, he thus présented ‘the inducements to foreign conquest : “We have there in the center of the Pas cific const a port and harbor hardly equaled by that of anyother country on the. globe; 4 noble bay, stretching away, aa I have said, forty miles to the southward, and twenty to the. nurthward, campletely landslocked, in which the navies of the world wight ride in safety. This hatbor, aceessibleé only by ‘a narrow entrance, atid forming the key. whieh. unlocks or locks the inland navigation toa rich valley four hundred miles in length.and fifty in width—the key which: holds posaession of. the richest mining territory of gold and silver in the known world. whose annual yield of the precious metals is not far short of $100,000, 000—a territory which employs half @million of people in its development; a-magnificent city of nearly one hundred thousand ‘inhabitants lying at its entrance, with ite wharves and docks, its customhouse and mint, its costly public’ buildings and private dwellings ; commanding this entrance a system of fortifications en which millions of dollars have’ been expended, and which, when fully completed, under . the supervision of a great Power whith. was determined to make them such, could be made as impreguable as. the rock of Gibralter. . “Atthe head of this neble bay our enemy would find totempt him a capacious pavy~ yard; replete with every modern convenience and appliance necessary for his purposes ; a dry-dock within which to repair bis ships ; an arsenal; batiacks for hia soldiera+-in4 short, everything necessary to enable him to’ maintain his position, aN built and ready fits ted to his baud. Holding these, he holds California ; he holds the Pacific coast; he holds the gold and silver of the mountains ; he holds the commercial center of the Pas cific—the great mart of trade, the growing, glorious empire of the West, the pride ot the Union, and its earnest, faithful adherent. Are these advantages which a grasping, powerfulenemy. would scorn to pdsses hinself of? Ta not. this @ prize worthy ambition? Will you expose your jewels to every thief, and then stupidly wonder that they are stolen ay , 7 . * * * * * * * * “Our enemy in possession of this harbor, of these fortifications. of the navysyard, of the dry-dock, and arsenal, and in command of the inland navigation, what could the people of Cahfornia ‘do without cannon oF amuunition, and without the . means of procuring them? How could they protect themselves? Sir, they would have a choice of evils—starvation, surrender to foreign } domination, or an exodus across the Sierras, I am bo alarinist, nor do I desire to add one jot or tittle to the embarrassments under which our beloved country-is now laboring. But I bebeve I speak the words of aober truth when I ‘say that had the late Treot . tion; had the views and copvictions ot inany vf my friends and aésociates on this floor been sustained by a warlike answer to. the demauds ef Great Britian, or « retusal to de= liver-up the per#ons of the confederate ars bassadors, that to-day, even as we sit here, this first blow would have been struck, and the barbor of San Francisco senled.”He suid he did not ask a standing army for California, aside from small trained. garris sons in the forts, if its hardy sous could be furnished with the meaus of war, ‘But these net to be ebtained, they would) be ariven back and starved out til they surrendered He insisted that it was the duty of wise stutesmuaship to legislate for the future as Well us the present—that foreign war was not unlikely, and should be guarded against, and showed that transportation overland by any Ineans heretofore,used, would be impracticuble to the extent needed to furnish the amount of supplies necessary for the defence of the Pac.fic coast. He turther showed that the expense of accumulating on the Pacific sueh amount of supplies as would suffice during the continuance of a foreign war, With fortifications, depots and stores houses wecessarily on the largest scale, and the placing of supplies there fur five years, would cost nearly as much ag the railroad which would snake such accumulation uns hecessary. On. the ground therefore ot military necessity—to protect against the designs‘of, England aud France our now des fenceless possessiine, he urged the buelding vf the railrogds.Giving-due Weight to cots mercial considefations, there ean be no doubt that: Congress was ¢ fly moved by the defenceless condition ef is const. Are we to expose vurselves to the dangers of toreign war in’ the future—threw away the bounty of Congress or defeat its object by our diseurds and petty prejudices, ot are we to loster the great Work and bid it Godspeed? ~‘The_ people will utter po unCertain voice in this matter if they can make \ themselves beard. mie as prices of every article of fuod, clothing, . . imbrogho not admitted of a peaceful solu~ . * OPENING SociaL.—A social party will b given by Mr. J.C.

Holding these, he holds California ; he holds the Pacific coast; he holds the gold and silver of the mountains ; he holds the commercial center of the Pas cific—the great mart of trade, the growing, glorious empire of the West, the pride ot the Union, and its earnest, faithful adherent.
