THE PACIFIC RAILROAD.

We notice the developments concerning this
great measure as part of the history of the
times too important to be omitted. The Wash
ington Union has appeared with an elaborate
and able article in favor of the construc.
lion of the Road to the Pacific by government.
The article is looked upon as an authorised
exposition OF the views of the Uston as the Or
gan of the Administration. This conclusion
is one not at all questioned-as the article of
the Union is merely in conformity with the de-.
esrations Of the Secretary OF War in his
speech at Philadelphia, in presence OF the Pre-.
sident, with the public appreciation of the Sc
cretary of State, and no doubt with the con.
teHigeneer of Saturday notices the article of
the Union, with expressions of warm appro.
baton; and regards it as similar in opinion and
argument to its own editorials, and to the
speeches of MIR. CLAY, in former days, on the
powers of the General Government TO con.
sruct works of public improvement.
From signs thus far, it is evident that parties
will be very much split up with regard to this
great question. The Wing press will be d.
vided uponit. The N. Y. Erpress has already
come out strongly against the improvement,
not on the ground Of unconstilutionality, but
of expediency. At home, the Enquirer and
the Petersburg Democrat are out against the
project, on the ground that it is unconstitution
al. We learn that several Democratic jour
male in the interior will warmly espouse The
| scheme.t The Petersburg Jntelligencer, Wing,
sustains it, while the Wing, in this city, con-
siders that sit is scarcely possible to imagine a
project which would tend to more corruption
| and a greater increase of the patronage of the
government"
The entire West will 60 for the road, and in
the matter of power in the confederacy, the
| West is fast becoming the Aaron's rod that
will swallow up all other rods. The Western
States are not only united upon the question
of the Pacific Railroad, but they are equally
united upon the public lands, e. the appro-
priation of the entire public domain, as soon as
they get the power, to their own benefit.
| The next session of Congress will be ex-
ceedingly interesting with regard to the Paci
fc Railroad, and it is not impro bable that the
public lands will occupy more than their ordi,
nary share of attention, as much time as has
been devoted to them at former sessions.

THE GAS WORKS.

We believe that if the Council undertake to
move the gas works they will not get off with
less than $4,000 or Sl75,O0O. Now we take
it that either sum is too much money to throw
away when we have SO many other subjects
which call for expenditure to protect and fos
ter the commerce of this city. We want to
clear out James riyer-we want to build rail-
road TO Wilcox's wharf-we want TO condemn
and buy all the dock bank on the river, to wi"
den it and build wharves and warehouses upon
it for the dock is not going to answer the
wants of our tTade-we want free bridge to
Mauchester-we want railroad to Ethan
we want an E1change-we want improve,
ments every where, and every day is adding 10
our wants. In the name of common sense,
gentlemen, if yeu do not approve of all these
measures of improvement, can't you find
enough by selecting from among them to alb
sorb the surplus and idle cash of the city,
without undertaking to pull down our very ex
cellent gas works and build them over again
Have we no better occupation than that of lit
tie children when they amuse themselves by
building and destroying and rebuilding sand
houses +! Tour amusement were no more ex.
pensive II would be as innocent as theirs but
| since II is SO costly and is paid for by people
that are so heavily taxed, it cannot be looked
upon in any light but that of a very inconsid
crate and cruel sport.
| There is one consideration which is wor,bv
OF attention affecting the gas works in their
present position: 1t is easy to construct
pipe across James river along the bridge
through which Manchester can be supplied
with gas. No location in the city is go favora-
bic for this object the present site of the gas
works. The pipe can proceed almost directly
from them across the river, and every facility
Of communication with the works and with
Manchester, that could be desired, is afforded
The distribution would be easy, and then we
could supply Manchester upon terms that
would entirely supersede the building OF W orks
by that town. 1t does seem to US that this
alone is an important consideration.
If the question of the different localities
near the mouth of Shockoe creek and Rock.
etts-were new one, it would be then one in
which the weight of argument, in our opinion,
would be decidedly in favor of Shockoe creek.
But we are at loss to understand how, after
the works are located at that place and built
there, the propriety of their removal was ever
thought of al all.
We cannot but hope that the Council will
pause in their Course and consider the matter
and the expense well before they 60 any far
Their. We trust that pride of opinion may not
exert greater influence than the reasonable
and plain considerations against the PROPOSE.
