TEXAS-THE PACIFIC RAIL ROAD.

o} members of The Legislature and proMinen
citizens from all parts Of the Stale
ueh' tusS look the opportunity 10 give his opinions at
large on The subject Of tho Pacific Rail Road and develop
freely his opinions upon tho prac,caby and mode of build
ing il through Texas which he enllrpes uoon as the moat
eligible line of route.
The Of his argument 10 show that the line near the
southern portion Of The United States terminating In San
Diego in every military point Of view the best for nation
al decnce 1t would moreover create the necessity and the
coast roac thus creating line Of deiences better large
armies and fleets bringing the available forces Of the United
States within ten days OF any exposed point along the In
mense frontier.
AS the Inc within Texas, 6r Rusk advises that as few
specific points possible should be named until the general
scheme Sufficiently organized The general idea he sup
ports s that should be begun further north than Fulton
Red River End that should be carried nearly pos
sibh siong the line of tho thirty second degree of North
latitude which he r"chcs from personal knowledge of
eight hundred miles OF the route, that there is plenty OF
wood and The land is generally well ,mbereJ and
Gen. Rusk Gays the most fertile he saw in his life.
Gen. Rusk thus sketches his plan for The building Of tho
road Texas has accumulated capital nothing invest
but she has amount Of unappropriacd lands Of I
mensc value of which he would find the of
abhng connections with uch other States have
and funds There 800 miles within Texas Of the line Of
The favored route. Mr. Rusk suggests that the
State should grant twenty sections Of land 10 the mile 10
company contracting for the building of the road with
huriy connect with other routes, not designating any
particular starting point the East bn spuatiDg that Il
should not begin North Of particular point, but might
commence anywhere South OF il in the State That policy
will give those WIN willing 10 invest capital chance 10
cxanue md satisfy themselves OF The best sturng poin!
and routes it will bring those a, The end CT that route, Tho
cure The ad, d,antages Of the connection.
He that the company should be required 10 de-
post 100000 In The Treasury Of The State 10 be forfeited
in n certain length of road Is not flashed within
year. and forfeiture Of The charter and the road finished
and The Stale might require releng another company, II
a certain length OF the road should be finished yearly
until the whole was completed. These terms, he thinks,
would be bona ae contractors who have the
und intend in good faith to build The road and NOT
make speculation BY the sule of privileges.
The amount of public Texas is O2 TAT 600 acres
and the appropriation he recommends would require
1920 OCO acres He considers that me gain In the ncreas
ed value of the reserved lands would repay Immediately
many times the value Of the land granted He thinks
the aid Of Congress be depended upon-we suppose by
grants Of lands in aid OF those portions OF the roads which
lie beyond the State CT Texas The United States have nc
land In Texas.
Gen Rusk presses this subject upon The action OF the
Legislature of Texas, which is now 10 session. Postpone
it ur year" and he fears The opportunity may be lost By
the superior exeons Of the friends Of other O.
