The Buffalo Emporium Of Saturday
says:-"We have delayed the publica-
ton Of this paper little, to announce
the arrival of the Nations Guest in our
village. He comes from Pittsburgh
via Meadville, Erie, Fredonia, to Dun
kirk-where the steam boat Superior,
capt. Sherman, awaits his arrival, to
bring him to this village He has not
arrived, but is hourly expected" The
Utica Sentinel of Tuesday, also states,
upon the authority ola letter from Buff
f;.lo, that the General will leave that
place on Sunday morning for the Falls,
take the boat on Monday at Lockport,
and after spending part of Tuesday at
Rochester, endeavor to reach Rome by
the canal on Thursday morning.
Splendid preparations are making
for his reception at the several villa
ges through which he will pass, and as
his travelling must necessarily be at
tended with expedition, he will proba-
bly, reach this city some time during
| tomorrow.
A civil and military deputation from
Utica will meet the General at Rome,
to escort him into that village, where
he will be received by the committee
Of arrangements, and pass the troops
in review. His arrival and departure
will be greeted by the discharge of "a
cannon, and the ringing Of the bells Of
the village.
At Schenectady, suitable arrange
ments have been made by the corpora
ton and military for his reception,
which will probably be as cordial there
as it has been every where throughout
the Union.
In this city the necessary arran ge-
ments have been made, under the di-
rection Of the Common Council, the
Military Companies, and the Com
mander in Chief.
Mobile May % Gen. Bernard and
Mr.. Shrivcr, Of the Board of Engineers
for Internal Improvements, and their
assistants Capt. Ponssin, Lieut's Dutton
and rrimble, arrived in this city on
Tuesday.
They are engaged in the examina-
tion of the various routes proposed for
the establishment Of great National
Road between Washington City and
| N. Orleans. They have taken view
thus Far, of what is termed the Metro
politan Route, and departed on We'd
nesday, in the schr. Maria, for New
Orleans; from whence, we understand,
they propose TO examine the remain
ing fraction of the route through Mis-
sissippi, as they return.
1t was the intention of the Engineers
TO have crossed the river above Mobile,
at Fort Stoddart, and to have pro-
ceeded on 10 New Orleans by land, but
in consequence Of the unusual high
stage of the waters, they were compel
led TO cross here.
The Missouri Advocate mentions in
terms Of eXultation the act OF the last
session of Congress, for the continual
ton of the road now making from
Washington City to the capital of Mis-
souri,, extending nine hundred miles.
This, taken in connection with the one
authorized to be made to Santa Fee,
nine hundred, and thence to the city OF
Mexico, fifteen hundred, will make
three thousand three hundred miles,
the whole length Of the road, "connect-
ing," says the editor, "the Capitals OF
the two greatest republics in the world,
and the immediate Capitals of the
states of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, and
Missouri, in the United States; and
Santa Fee, chihuahua, Durango, FAC
atecas, and San Louis Potosi, in the
republic Of Mexico, and realizing the
prediction of Humboldt that the day
would come when coaches would run
from Philadelphia to the ancient seat
of the empire of Montezuma."
The world is destined to see strange
things in the revolution Of few gene
rations. We talk now of rail roads
and steam carriages-.where we talk
another generation will act. Rail roads
as well as canals, will find a Clinton to
project, devise, and accomplish.
