Who STARTED THE RAILROAD TO THE PACIFIC
FIRST This question seems to be as difficult OF
settlement as the enquiry who first nominated
General Taylor? heretofore. In this region, Mr..
George Wilkes, who published brochure on the
subject, claimed to be the original mover; but
claimant has made his appearance in Washington,
of the name OF Mr.. Dow, who, il seems, proposed
such project to the late John Jacob Astor. We
believe that such project, however, occurred to
many minds long before the period in question:
soon as railroads were practically demonstrated
TO be feasible for long distances. The origin of
the movement, however, is of little Importance
the great queaton lie, how is II be accomplished,
and when can it be begun? We understand thar
in Texas project has been started to construct
railroad, going up the Rio Grande, crossing the
Rocky Mountains, in some undiscovered gap, to
California, right IN the midst OF the gold region.
This plan will probably be before Congress, and
will perhaps take It's chances with the other plans
Our own belIef is, that the most practicable pan
would be to form from st. LOUIS, or some
other point on the Mississippi, through the great
South Pass, and that Congress should take up the
subject, as great national one, as soon as pos
sible.

MUSICAL MATrERs.-NusIcal affairs IN this city
are growing TO be quite interesting; every ARRIVAL
brings some new genius 10 our shores. During
he last few weeks we lave had nearly hundred
musicians, Of all ranks, arrived from Europe Con-
cers and musical soir,es are springing up in all
directions Among others, we see that Mr. Herr
intends to give another splendid concert to-nigh,
at the Tabernacle, AMI Madame Bishop another
on Saturday evening. Mr. Herbs distinguished
artists he has been this country long time,
and has acquired Ugh reputation, both as man
and as musician. The one proposed to be given
70. night is probably his last concert; for we under
stand he purposes to retire from the field OF CON-
petition soon, and create an establishment in this
city for the manufacture and sale Of musical IN.
struments Of such rank and quality as have hitherto
not been known in this country. We suppose thai
this being his farewell concert, will be crowded

meu,s in the other hemisphere are taking such

No CHOLERA YET.-Notwlthstandng the cons-
dent pre- dlctIoDs Of the panic makers and lutte.
rested spectators of Staten Island, we are happy
TO say there is no cholera in New Yo k as yet,
and the probability is shall escape it altogether.
The one solitary case in Greenwich street, abou
which much noise was made, Is now thought
20 have been nothing but simple case Of dysen-
iery, badly managed by the three or four doctors,
with their three or four assistants who had il IN
hand. The only real report upon the matter which
has been laid before the public, and which con
,alns PLAIN good sense and sound views is that
which proceeded from Captain Lines, of the ship
New York: and really would be disposed O
take the plain practical opinions of that worthy
man, Vi on medical matters, before the conflicting
quanelsome, fighting debates or decisions of tae
Medical College, or other medical men. The
weather IL New York, tor the lat few weeks. ha'
been very unhealthy; yet in spite Of the confident
predictions Of the panic makers aud their abetors'
our cry enjoys comparative health, even in op7osl-
ten 10 and IN the teeth OF the filthlness Of the
streets, the neglect OF the Corporation the false
hoods OF the panic makers, and all other delete
rICus Influences combined. The only fever or
epidemic VIII oh il now here, IS that which ls com
monty called the California or gold fever Gro yds
OF EN- grants to those golden regions, are busily
and actively preparing, without fer OF cholera or
other disease, 10 cross the Ishmus, expecting each
one Of them TO become RethschIld in short
time.
