The road was kept open during the past winter, and there ft ' . were no detentions of any great duration. But the sudden advent ot spring, after the unusually long season of falling weather, brought down from tho mountains a volume of melted snow which swept everything before it. Bridges, rail?, ties and gravel were carried away like straws, chips and dried leaves, and no barrier that man could set up was of any avail. The sudden rush of water is now subsiding, the company have an immense force at work, with plenty of timber, tools, and all things necessary to repair the track, and everything that human ingenuity and energy can bring to bear is employed to open the road to general travel.

There is an immense supply of snow garnered up in the bills and heights, and, as the sun gains power, it will come down in swelling torrents, for which all exposed points should be prepared as promptly as possible.

This will to some extent be accomplished if the standard guage Portland, Dalles and Salt Lake railroad is entered upon by foreign capitalists, and will be still more furthered if a branch road is built from its crossiug of Snake river, or in that vicinity, to Montana. The Utah Northern company now have the opportunity to make their road an imprtant and profitable one or curl it up in northern Utah, a mere local affair, and they are not 'unmindful of the situation. There will be competition for building the Montana road, and if we act wisely and harmoniously we will have railroad communication in reasonable time and for limited aid." The Utah Northern forms the speediest; cheapest and most feasible roate of connection between Montana and the great world. A line running southward to meet the Utah Northern as it pushes northward, will give the Montanians in immediate junction at Ogden with the Union Pacific, connecting them with the East, with the Central Pacific, opening to to them a routo the West, and with the Utah Central and Utah Southern and the branch lines leading therefrom, to the heart of the Territory of Utah. A narrow guage road to meet tne Utah Northern can be built quicker aud cheaper than a broad guage, aud Montaua, by taking this route, can have those railroad facilities, without which it cannot make much progress, in an exceedingly short epace of time.

From the latest telegrams from Europe, it appears that the threatened disturbance of the peace of the Continent has abated, and prospects are favorable for an amicable settle ment of the difficulties between Prussia and Belgium, in which England was partially involved. Prussia has been engaged in a civil struggle with an ecclesiastical enemy. And, so far as German jurisdiction extends, the government has been successful. Bismarck has pitted his strength against the influence of the Jesuits, and has come of victorious. But Belgium has been made a couutry of refuge and a plotfor Ultramontane ting ground schemes against Germany. And therefore remonstrances have been issued to the authorities of that little kingdom, in which England has been requested by Prussia to unite. It is expected that Belgium will do its best, consistent with constitutional restrictions to comply with the desire of its powerful and angry neighbor.
