Col, PAYSE's REroRT.-We publish on
our first page to-day, the report Of Col b.
II Payne, the agent of the New Orleans
and Great Western Railroad Company, on
the subject Of the proposed route from St.
Louis to New Orleans. 1t is a well written
document, and will repay an attentive peru.
sal.
While on this subject, We might as well
state that we are pleased to perceive that
our esteemed contemporary Of the "Ouachi.
Ia Herald, - discovered during his recent yis.
it to Little Rock, that the route proposed
by Col. Payne to the Convention, and spo-
ken of in bis report, is the same route which
we noticed in the Telegraph Of the 23d ult,
and is no, as he stignatizad it, the offspring
of the brain of some enemy of the Gaines
Landing route In his last paper, our con.
temporary appears to be delighted with the
prospect Of connecting Camden, with st.
Louis and New Orleans, by this route
which when we noticed it, he ridicule1 as d
nonsensical proposition.

Our Country.

In 1902 the corner stone of the present
Capitol at Washington was laid. At ilat
time, Gen. Washington, in whose honor The
new seat of government WAS named' olhola'
ted. Fihy.eight years afterwards, namely.
on the 4,h day of July, 1851, the corner
Stone Of an extension Of the building was
laid. and tie Secretary Of State made an ad.
dress. in the course OF which he presented a
sketch Of the comparative condition OF our
country at the two periods. The compri.
son shows the rapid strides our country Is
making. AMI, judging from the results which
the LAT half century has accomplished, the
year 1900 will present an aggregate Of pop
ulation. manufactures, and resources abso-
lutoly astounding.
Then we had fifteen States, noS we have
thirty-one. .
Then our white population was three mil.
lions. now il is twenty.tbree.
Then Boston had ls,OOOpcople, now has
l37 900.
Philadelphia had ~ 900, now it has iOo,-
000
New York had 33 900, now it has jl5,.
900
Then our imports were 81 100000, now
they are Sljl 600 900.
The area of our territory was then 500.
900 square miles it is now 3,3OO,OOO.
Then We had no railroads, now we have
! $500 miles of railroads.
Then we had 200 post-Oilices now We have
81 900.
Our revenue from postage then was $780,
600. now it is S5,0O0000,
These are only few facts to show the
rapid growth of the country and what we
and our children have to do to secure the con.
tinuancc of this prosperity, is to love, fear,
and obey the God of our fathers; to avoid
intemperance, pride, contention, aud grocdi.

true patriotism, and just sense of our obi.
