Pacific Railroad line. under a recent act OF
Congress making an appropriation to ex-
plore the different routes TO the Pacific
The party for this purpose will rendezvous,
as soon as it can be organized, at some point
in Iowa or MINES ota, and will probably be
on its way to the Pacific about the lst of
May. The Columbia river is the natural
northern line on the Pacific side, and the
river, from Its mouth to the fOrty-sixth de-
gree Of latitude, is the southern boundary
of Washington Territory.
II would be difficult to select a more skill
full engineer, or man of more indomitable
energy and perseverance, than Governor
Stevens, to take charge Of so important an
exploration.
The Railroad journal says: We take
great pleasure in stating that Major |. J.
Stevens, of the United States Army, has
been appointed Governor Of the new terri
tory of Washington.
Major Stevens, though young, has had a
wide experience, the result of active and
constant employment in responsible posi-
tions; all of which he filled in most credi-
table manner. IL IS empl.atica!ly the man
for his new post, and his appointment is the
first encouraging step towards the realiza-
tion of the great project Of a railroad to the
Pacific. We know him 10 be welded 10 TO
particular route or plan, and believe he will
endeavor 10 ascertain and adapt such as are
suggested by the natural cOnfguration ofthc
country and the wants of commerce.
Such qualities we want in a person hold
ing conspicuous and responsible position
in our western country. We repeat, that
the accomplishment Of the great project Of a
railroad TO the Pacific, has, in our opinion
been hastened by years by the above ap.
pointment. The public may now begin tc
look for light from this most interesting por
tion of our country, and upon the subject o
a railroad across the continent, which i

Survey Of the Routes to the Pacific.

|
The Government is moving with as much
alacrity as the nature of the case will per-
nit, in ordering the survey OF the routes to
the Pacific. 1t will be seen by some ex-
tracts which we make from our Northern
exchanges that Gov. STEpHENs, recently
appointed to that post in the new territory
Of Washington, has been commissioned to
make an examination of the Northern
route, and he has already commenced max
ing the preliminary arrangements for the
trip.
Another expedition is to be fitted ont, un-
der the charge of Lieutenant BnALr, Super
intendent Of Indian affairs in California, who
has been for some months past in Washing
ton, and it may be presumed he has the con-
| tidence of the Administration IN this mat
ter. Lient. BEALE has been engaged in
similar expeditions, having accompanied
Col. Fremont in his explorations, and been
otherwise familiar with the country and the
routes over which this road must pass
His course is indicated in a correspondence
between Col. Benton and Lieut. BEALE, who
sign joint letter in that behalf, and Col.
DAVIS, from which we make the following
extracts
l. Mr.. Beale to be permitted to enter
upon the duty Immediately, to be overtaken
by Mr.. Fremont, if he returns for the pur-
pose. Mr. Beale choosing TO return to Cali
fornia overland, and to execute at the same
time a part of his duties, if approved by the
President, in selecting Indian reservations
in New Mexico and Utah. The route. or
rather section of the route, they propose to
examine, is from the mouth of the Huerfano
river, on the Upper Arkansas, to Las We
gas de Santa Clara, about twelve degrees of
longitude (l034 to ll54)-both ends of
that route having been explored by Fremont,
and most of it travelled over by Mr.. Beale,
and reported by Mr.. Fremont to be not on
" practicable but easy, and presenting sin.
sular facilities for making and preserving
: the road.
2. That, as the government wishes tc
send troops to California, detachment o
} them, saying thirty men with sergeant ant
t a corporal, be placed under his command
r thus saving the expense of hiring men, ant
conducting the detachment to its destina
y tion.
= 3. If not deemed advisable to give thi
d detachment, then Mr.. Beale would ask for
II military escort to attend him on the sam
- line in examining for reservations in Ney
e Mexico and Utah for the Indians.
r 4. If neither of these is deemed advisabl
e then they ask for fraction of the appropria
g ton, say the one-tenth part, to delray tn
If expenses of the proposed exploration b
v them.
,e Mr.. Beale being in the service of tn
e United States as Superintendent OF India
II Affairs in California, will receive no CON
J. pensation for his personal services.
.e We take it for granted, that the survey {
VI a more Southern route will be ordered. an

Railroad TO the Pacific.

.4pp0inimem Of Major /. J. NerenS as Cor
eraor oftte nelC TERRITORY OF Hashiagioa
The Boston Post says: Among the ap-
pointments of Massachusetts men to office
by President Pierce, which have been CON
irmed by the Senate, is that OF Isaac J. Ste
vens, as Governor of the new Territory Of
Washington. Governor Stevens is Il native
Of Andover, and graduate OF 1889 at West
Point, with the highest honors OF his class.
For few years previous to the Mexican
war he was an officer OF the Engineer corps
Of the army, in charge Of the public lortii.
cations at Portsmouth, N. H., and at Port.
land, and the narrowS OF the Penobscot
Maine. Fort Knox, at the latter place, wa:
planned, and its construction has thus fal
been directed by him.
Upon the determination of our Govern,
ment to conquer peace with Mexico, by at
lacking Mexico by the line pursued by Gen
Scott, Governor Stevens, then lcutenan
Of the engineer corps, was assigned to duty
as one Of the staff of Gen. Scott, and during
that Generals memorable campaign, render
ed such services as to have honorable men
tion in nearly all, if not all, of that officer,
dispatches, and as to receive two brevet
from the goverement.
For the last four years Governor Steven
has been the assistant of Professor Bacheu up
on the coast survey. The magnitude of tha
work, of which few are aware, requires ad
ministrative ability of a high order, and, a
assistant in charge of that office, Governo
Stevens has become favOrably known to b
the leading man in Washington.
Since his appointment the President ha
determined to put him in charge of the par

Benton on Bowlin.

The Washington correspondent of the
New York Tribune thus speaks of Benton,
Bowlin, and the Administration;
There is a considerable muss concerning
the disappointment OF James B. Bowlin, OF
Mo-, IN not getting the Commisslonership
OF Indian Affairs. He was bitterly op-
posed by Benton, which, presume, pre-
vented his appointment. Benton cannot
abide him; Bowlin having been his oppo-
nent for Congress. He informed the Ad-
ministration formally, that Bowhn's ap.
pointment was the certain price of H5s
fierce opposition on the floor Of the, House
Of Representative.
