years been before the public, thro'
1.-The untiring vigilance Of WHITNEY,
the protector of the scheme. OF
its feasibility we hay g never had
any doubt; and the more we consid-
crit in all its bearings-the more
we are convinced that IFS compile

1t would make the United States
1.-THE carriers of the worId--would
convert the wilderness between the
Mississippi and the r ocky Noun
itains, into a populous country, and
would furnish within our own linn
its a meeting ground for the com
IN cree Of Western Europe and
Eastern Asia. The only question
which really requires discussion, or
/ in the resolution of which there
ca n be any doubt, is as TO the pre-
else route that could most conven-
lei tly and profitably be adopted
The following remarks by the
| Washington correspondent of the
/ Journal?f Commerce, who doubtless
rites under the Inspiration Of
Whitney himself, will assist our
rel ders in resolving the question:
| BY starting on some point on
Lake Michigan, thence going to
Prairie du Chen, thence due West
to a bridging place on the river, and
thence to the South Pass, we have
a practicable route, and from the
lands around the Lake suitable tim
Der for the road and means for its
: construction may be obtained.-
From tie Lake westw ard, the route
for 900 miles lies through lands fer
/ tile in corn and wheat, as rich q,
| any on the earth requiring no prep
arr alton for "a crop, and nothing bu
/, the plov nd the sickle.

, furnish means for building Loo

| ia nee is 2,O3O miles. From til,
81 South Pass it is about 700 OF S0t
; miles TO Puget7s Sound. From
Lake Michigan to the South Pass
: the Gle walton is so gradual is t
I be- hardly perceptible to a height 0

} which form the Columbia rive
} may be followed to the Pacific dcea
: i these being the only waters run
ling west from the Rocky Noun
tains TO the Columbia river or Low

1 construction, the first 500 miles 0
t Hthis route viii furnish them 70
+ 900 miles of the road, after which
c there are good lands furnis hinj
: iinber and agricultural products
: Between the South Pass and tn

Destruction of the John Adams.

DtStiuCtiUH vi tHt JUnil AudlllS'
DEAR SIR:-By request | proceed to
give you the particulars of the de-
struction Of the ill-fated steamer,
John Adams-by far the most terri
bic accident that has ever occurred
upon the Western waters.
She left New Orleans for Cincin-
natl on Wednesday, the 22d January,
loaded down to the guard with sugar
and molasses, and over two hundred
-pass9ngers- about one hundred Of
whom were upon deck.
About three o'clock on Monday
morning she struck a snag some few
miles above Greenville, Mississippi,
and literally tore her bow to atoms.
She sank to the cabin floor in less
than one minute, and almost at the
instant she came in collision the water
was up to the waist Of the Engineer
SO rapid did she fill. Not more
than five persons escaped, Of the hun
bred and sixteen men, women and
children upon the lower deck, these
were two engineers and three firelhen.
All the rest slept their last sleep,
and went down to the deep depths Of
the mighty river, to awake in eterni-
ty.
What pen could paint the horrors
Of such a scenel Nota voice, not a
single sound came from that fatal
deck. But as It were in the twink

brother, wife, husband, all, ALL,

possible, t he most heart-rending scene
Of all.
The upper cabin lifted from the hui
almost Immediately, and as soon as
persons could escape from their State
rooms they were ushercd into waite
some four feet deep upon the floor
Screams Of women and children were
heard in all parts of the Ladies cabin
men rushed upon the guards, ant
climbed up the supporters upon tn
i hurricane roof, aud by cutting thro

deck. Mothers cllnging 10 thei

DIE WITH THEM rather than be SAVE
WITHOUT THEM. Many scenes Of no
bic daring wereSenacted, but / canno
give them in this hasty notice.
About the time the saved reache,

The present administration Of the
general government estimates the re-
ceipts for the present fiscal year at
100000 and the expenses at
about $50,000,000. If the govern
maht cannot get along in time of
profound peace On S45,000,000 a
year, it is time another administra-
ton was taking the helms; Of affairs
We see it stated that the estimate
for the army now in time of peace is
equal to $500 per soldier in service,
against less than $500 during the
Mexican war How the government
manages to spend more than S45,-
000,000 a yearnow is a mar vel to
US, when no democratic administra-
