From the W Washington Repuoli,, Feb al
Mr.. Samuel +. Sanford, bearer Of dispatches
from our commissioner To run the bsunfary line
between the United States and Mex ico, arrived IA
this city Sunday last. He iuforr,s Us that,
leaving FL Paso, on the 3lst OF December, he over
took government train on the nigh; OF the st 81
January. This tram was smaller than it is us ial
TO send on that route, consisting OF forty slxmuo
wagons. Having conveyed their lOids OF prOvl-.
sions 10 the military post at I'll Paso, they were
returning TO San Antonio. They were under ths
charge OF John Osman, a wagou-master, we'll
known for his efficiency in the rsponsible and dam
gerous service on the praries. The drivers, with
a few persons whose route lay in the same direc-
ton, numbered about fifty men in all Mr. Siu-
ford continued with the train for distance of
about one hundred miles, beioq then about one
hundred and fifty miles from El Paso, and in the
midtt Of the prairie, at Mavericks creek He
here selected two men, and with them left the train,
and proceeded to San Antonio, one huadred and
fifty miles, and thence, about the same distance.
to Lavaca and lndianoa, on the coast, wneace
he took passage for New Orleans, in the steamer
Louisisns, and proceeded 10 Washington by the
way OF the Southern hail route. HIS whole jour
ney occupied fory-eight days
He ihforms US that the journey Of Mr.. Bartlett,
our Commissioner, 10 his destined location at FL
Paso, on the Rio Grande, was precipitaied, on ac-
count al his fears that The Commission on the
part OF Mexico would have so long preceded him
as TO become weary If his delay; hut that arriv-
ing there on the 18Th OF November, he had to
await that Commissioner some ten or twelve days.
The Commissioners on both sides AZ once enter
ed upon the important preli nnary Of determining
the initial pom, OF their survey which was finally,
just before the departure OF Mr. Sanford, fixed at
the parallel OF 81 deg % min. north latitude, on
the Rio Grande, point TO be ascerained by the
astronomers, bur conjectured to bs about twenty
miles northward from Ell Paso. The line will run
thence three degrees west, and thence north 10
the Rio CHA, and thence westerly along the
course OF that river. Other lines were commended
for by General Condo, the Commissioner on the
part OF Mexico, but after the most minute aud
laborioBs invesug atoms and discussions this line
was determined upon. IL will no doubt Be sius-
factory TO our government and people; for by
reference 10 Fremont's map OF Oregon and Upper
California, published by order Of the Setate in
1885, II will be seen that line lees favorable TO Nc
Is there traced and when the character Of the
country comprehended shall be known, the advau-
tages OF the present line will be better understood.
The health Of Mr.. Bartlet's company has been
very good since their arrival at III Paso; and both
there and on the way hther little dissatisfaction
or dissenson has been experienced as ~ probably
ever realized by company on like duty and STINT
lsrly circumstanced We ere particular 10 state
this, because repous OF a contrary character have
been In circulation amongst us Leaving here in
the summer, and travelling southwark far as the

the inexperienced that the rigors Of winter would
