may throw them back Tor many years, II not
for all time.
Having considered this general system
for the results to be obtained, il may be
well TO look at these roads as State roads,
and bringing the system down TO something
at present practicable, test their worth for
local improvement and development of the
State, and as stock-paying roads as they
progress within the State.
These roads are the North Missouri Road
the Pacific Road-the Southwest Mis-
souri, road, and the Iron Mountain road. 1t
is understood that the Pacific Railroad Com
pany are making surveys for the three last
named routes, with view Of making relia-
BILE comparative estimates, these surveys are
not yet complete. but have progressed suf-
ficiently TO satisfactorily determine the prac-
ticabiity, at reasonable cost, of all the routes.
The writer then proceeds 10 designate
the counties through which these roads
would probably pass, estimates their proba-
bic cost and earnings-shows how the money
can be raised by county, individual, and
State stocks, together with the credit of the
roads, and concludes as follows:-
The four roads mentioned are the trunk
lines of the State, and Of the Vest. Each
one may bear the closest examination, and
stand on its own merits, and yet from the
peculiarities circumstances and the ieal-
ousies of legislation, all may have TO act and
pass together. The credit from the State
can only be applied within the next five
years, and is not at once thrown into the
market to the extent granted. The credit
is dollar for dollar with private capital, and
applied only TO main trunk roads, that man
running can see are all good in themselves.
The foreign capitalist, looking as he does
closely, will quickly see that each of these
roads adds 10 The 1redRh Of The SAFE ten-fold
phat she lends; and seeing at the same time
that this credit is only applied to the main
lines, and does not extend Itself, for the
time being, tothe numerous branches that;
for local benefit, will extend from each line
some good and some bad-will feel safe
in his investment. The very combination
of these interests at this time can prevent
for their own defence, Gail being interested
in the safety Of the State credit the ex-
tension of that credit to the local branches
of the State; and herein is one element of SAFE
ty in acting together in the Siate Legislature.
A general railroad law may safely and
wisely be enacted, granting to any set Of
men who will take the proper steps, and
advance the money, a charter TO build
any railroad. This will prevent any monop-
oily. But the credit of the State should only,
for the time being, attach to the leading
lines of whatever system is adopted. So
far it may go safely, but farther log-rolling
legislation might endanger that credit.
In this article, nothing has been said as
to the worth of these roads or their effect
on the value Of lands on their routes and
the consequent enrichment of the State
An interesting article might be written on
this subject, and one that would force on the
mind of every thinking man the importance
ofstarting as quickly as possible.

Land Warrants.

By recent returns from the Pension or
fce, at Washington, we see that about six
teen million dollars have been issued at par
value, under recent acts of Congress. Six
million dollars have been located and re-
turned, and about two million, we sup
pose, are located and in transitu. This
leaves eight million oil the market, and if
the demand continues, eight months more
will exhaust the amount now issued. In
the East, we observe .the price ranges
from 1850 to 1852 for 100, 1915 to $40 for
80, and $37 so to $38 for 40 acres.
Messrs. w. F. Birch s. Son, of this
city, are selling all sizes at 81 per acre.
Their business, in this line, is rapidly in
creasing, being already over ii 900 per
week. When the rail road restriction is
taken off, and all the public lands fully on
the market, it will probably increase 10 over
$4,000. So much for business never en-
gagged in here before; and in less than one
year likely to be larger than any done in
the place.

DOLLAR NE WSPA P E R!

The TIMES, for the year 1853, will! be
published at ONE DOLLAR, in ADVANCE.
At the close of the present year, we intend
to close up our subscription accounts, and
no PAPER will be sent without Advance pay
plent. We make this announcement notr, 20
that all may understand. We shall issue a
prospectus in a few days, and place it in the
hands Of our agents, postmasters and friends,
in order that all who want the TINES next
year, may begin with the first number.
We ought, and can, with proper exertions
on our own part and that of our friends,
start with ONE THOUSAND subscribers, and
by the close OF the year have TWO THOU
SAND.
We therefore call upon all who want u
cheap paper, to come forward and aid us in
the work.
We shall endeavor to make the Times 4
NEWSPAPER, faithful chronicler of the cur
rent events of the day; paper which can
be read with interest and profit, by all, and
we expect its circulation to be confined 10
no party or sect. We contemplate nc
change or abatement of political views or
news; but as there will be but little politl-
cal excitement, politics will of course &C.
cupy but little space, and we shall thus have
more room for miscellaneous and news items.
We have been repeatedly urged TO this
course, and we expect the aid of those
who have urged this matter upon us.
