| The necessity Of quick and easy com
/ munication with CALIFoREIA and OREGON
| is now very generally felt and admitted.
/ Various routes across the continent have
I been for long time talked of, aud their adj
yantases and disadvantages discussed and
there NAV exist some difference of opinion
as 10 which is under all considerations, the
hest. But it must be admitted, the propo-
sal now before Congress recommends Itself
by its destinctness and precision, by the full
understanding which the parties seem to
have of the business before them, and,
above all. by the promise of an early accom-
plishnlent. all other schemes are, so tar as
we are informed, vague, uncertain, and dis
tani For this the way has been paved ny
our Treaty with the Republic Of New tired
ada, securing the right OF way over inc
lslhinus, and guarantymg MS neutrality. fri
yate capital invested there Will be safe, II
our Government can protect It. Inc 18TH
mus Iehuantepec, it is suggested, offers no
such security. We have no right OF way
over it, and have given no security and be-
sides we observe by late accounts from
Mexico that the right granted some years
ago by Santa ANNA, for constructing a road
acrossit, has fallen into the hands OF Messrs.
Manning, Mcintosh & Co., an English
house.
IL may he considered fortunate that the
privilege for the lsthmus of Panama has fal-
len into the hands Of Americans. Whatre-
mains TO be seen is, whether the gentlemen
concerned will meet with such encourage
tnent from Congress as will enable them to
carry out their plans with the promptltude
which is necessary to success.-Nat. Intel.

TO THE PUBLIC.

The lands embraced in the above proclamation
located principly and adjacent to the Aissis
sippi and st. CroM rivers. Those designated as
mineral extremely valuable, because in addition
10 the copper and other found in them, they
well watered, and have ready access to market, ell
Their to the South by the Mississippi river, to the
East, by the way of the lakes, and the several
lines OF communication that connect Herewith.
Valuable timber and all other necessary re-
quistes for building and smelling, are found in
great abundance, and Of the finest quality. The
climate is healthy and pleasant--the cold being
rarely more intense than in the northern part Of
New York and many Of the lands are exceed
ingly fertile, producing all the grains and vegeta-
bles that can be raised in Massachusetts or nor
thern New York.
Maps showing the localities OF the mines, and
other valuable information relating thereto, deri-
we'd from the geological survey .'Sc., which can
not be embraced in this brief notice, will be prepar
ed and deposited In the andofiice at ST. Croix for
inspection as early as practicable before the COM
mencement Of the public sales.
