ANOTHER PAcTic ROUTE SuRvgy.-It is sta
ted in the Missouri Democrat, at st. Louis,
that Col. Fremont has made preparations to
start in November for a winters excursion to
test the practicability of n passage through
the mountains on the central route in the sea-
son of SHOWS. The enterprise is entirely his
own, unconnectcd with any Government aid,
and is another illustration Of that high charac-
ter for perseverance and energy for which he
is distinguished. The Government survey of
the same route is entrusted to Capt. Gunnisen,
who is very competent and trustworthy. The
concurrent labors of these two expeditions
will go far to settle the much contested point,
whether tho central route is practicable, con-
trary to the concurrent opinion of most of
those who are best acquainted with il.
