RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.

A correspondent of the Ledger writes that the
Central Pacific Railroad will not take greenbacks
for fare, and, moreover, charges 10 cents a mile in
gold. For this the passengers probably get "more
exercise to the mile" than on any other road in the

country.
The Union Pacific Railroad has been so far com-
pleted that passengers by travelling continuously
can pas 3 over the line from Philadelphi to San
Francisco in eleven days. The time from Philadel-
phia to Omaha 'was recently three days, but the
railroad is now opened to Bryan, 860 miles from
Omaha. This shortens the time between Omaha
and San Francisco to eight days. From Omaha to
Bryan the time is forty hours; from Bryan to Salt
Lake City, thirty-two hours, by stage; from Salt
Lake City to Wadsworth, four days ; from Wads-
worth to San Francisco, by the Central Pacific
Railroad, one day. The fare from Omaha to
Bryan is $64 15e., and to Salt Lake $110; to Sa-
cramento $230.

Gen. Sheridan has in a recent order highly com-

Forsyth, with 47 scouts, defended themselves for eight
days against 600 Indians ; the affair at Big Sandy Creek,
Colorado, where Captain George Graham and Co. I, Tenth
U.S. Cavalry, defended themselves against 100 Indians;
the rapid preparation, pursuit and attack made by Brevet
Brigadier General Wm: H. Penrose, with a detachment Of
Co. L, Seventh U.S. Cavalry, upon a party of Indian
cattle thieves ; the defence made September 2, 1868, at
Little Coon Creek, Kansas, by six soldiers against 50
Indians ; the attack, August 2, on an Apache Indian

The Springfield Republican says :—" The net
nominations already made for the Massachusetts State
Senate, and those likely to be added, justify the expecte"
Mon so often disappointed, that our next Legislature will
be better than the last. In Suffolk the Republicaua have
nominated Mayor Lincoln, Horace H. Coolidge. George
H. Munroe, and Ellis W. Morton ; in Middlesex, lit:;
Estes Howe • in Franklin, Whiting Griswold ; and
in Norfolk ;hey are likely to nominate Frank Bird.
Among the senators of last year will be Pitman and
Tweed of Bristol, Brastow and Needham of Middlesex,
and Weston of Plymouth. Of these new mon, Mr. Bird,
Dr. Howe, and Mr. Griswold among the elders, and Cool-
idge, Morton, and Munroe among the younger set will be
heart from. The Senate has often been avoided by active
men desirous of making themselves felt in legislation+
but it is not to be so this year. The House must 10,

imply."
