Pacific Railroad.

Since The acquisition of California this
project has no, been considered in the
leas, visionary, but the more il is talked
Of the more the necessity is felt of such
work being built. Several plans have
been proposed. the first, Of which was
WHrTNEY's. He proposes that strip
Of land SIXTY miles in width, should be
granted, on each side Of the road; and
iha, he would build the road in ten years.
This plan o, first me, with some favor,
bu, 10 gradually beginning to be looked
upon as impracticable, and as giving too
great monopoly to an individual. The
second is Mr.. GwfNN's plan which is
nov before Congress, and is as follows:
The means proposed to consiruc, this
railway and branches is gran. from
Congress of public land to the States OF
Louisiana. Missouri, Arkansas. Iowa,
California, and an appropriation for the
construction of the road through The
Territories, Of an aggregate quantity OF
1872, 400 square miles. or 97,536, 900
acres. and as Texas has no public lands,

ury 10 10 be paid her to construct the
road through tina: S,ate.

- death VI EAsGOt. kUCASs
u We regret TO announce the death Of
Elk. Governor ROBERT LUCAS, which e..
vent took place at his residence near To-
wa City, on the morning of the 9Th We
ness. but are informed that his death was
sudden and unexpected. E
Gov. Lucas was the frs: Territorial
Governor of Iowa, and the last survivor
Of the three who al various times occu-
pied that position. Previous to coming
10 Iowa, he had been for many years dis
tinguished in the politics of Ohio, and
had been twice elected 10 the Office of
Governor of that State. During the var
of 1912, he served with distinction on
the northern frontier, and was among
those who were surrendered to the Brit.
ish forces by the treachery or cowardice
OF Gen. Hull.
He was man of extraordinary native
power of MUD, and a long experince in
public policy. Blu. few were better ac-
quainsed with the political history of the
coun,ry--none comprehended more clear
ly the genius Of our -epeublican inssitu-
lion. In word, he was. in the sense of
The term, statesman honest and faith.
full, independent. and wi,hou, guile
Whatever may be the judgment Of some
respecting his course in latter life. those
who knew him best vii. be the. las, 10
ascribe to him any motives unworthy of
the strict integrity which characterized
all bis acts. Touching and even pass
ing the extreme period allotted 10 human
| life, il is but charitable to inter ,hai he
looked with more or less concern upon
the ''progress" which marks the present
epoch, and the sudden coming forwarI of
new men to manage the helm of State.
Ii, under such circumstances. his prefer
ences wore found TO incline him awards
man of his own times. and one WITH
whom he had bled upon a common battle
field, we are sure the generous, the just,
and the ehivalric, will bury their momen.
tary resentmen,s with him who has now
passed forever from among us. We
knew him well. for we have known him
all our life. and in closing this humble
tribute to his memory, we will say tina,
we have never known ,ruer friend, q
purer patriot, more honest man. or q
more devout christian, tnan was RoBERr

The News from Cnlifornin.

The News from Californian.
We give large share of the space OF
the inside Of to,day's paper to the de-
plorable news from California. We do
so for two reasons; the first is. ,hs, many
of our readers have friends who are
doubtless affected more or less by these
calamities, and who went to the golden re.
gion expecting TO acquire sudden and un-
limitable fortunes, aud the second is tina,
il may have salutary influence with
those who are about 10, or have alread,
sacrificed their property in this country
TO 70 low in the footsteps Of the unlucky
ones that have proceeded them in the
rush for that far off region Of untold
misery, crime, and-but small quan,i-
~ Of gold. in proportion TO the means
expended in obtaining it. We are well
aware tina, as circulating medium. gold
has increased since its discovery in Cal.
ifornia. but while we admit this fact we
cannot believe tina, in real wealth the
country is any better off. So far as this
county IS concerned we know that il is
not; ard We ,ske il ,ha, Wapellois about
an average of the U. s. More men
have been broken up than have made
fortunes by going to California, aud If
The means accumulated 10 take the emf
grafton from this county were placed in
comparison to the amoun, brought. back,
j. would leave debit ia favor of the
former. Then. looking at the matter in
this light, ough, we no. to discourage en-
igration! Had not our citizens better be
conten,ed with doing well. and no, en-
deasor to better their condiuon by such
an uncertain mode as that Of emigra,ing
to country where there is every thing
to loose and one chance in thousand OF
gaining. Look well before making up
your minds TO face SO much uncertain
sy and suffering for prospec,-sligh.
though j, is--ot doing better Than you
are at present.
But while we write, we feel, and know
that TO attempt 10 check the current of
emigration is like saving to the Ocean,
"peace be STILL" and will have as little
effect. There are always enough tina,
believe like the embryo gamesler--,ha,
they will certainly De the lucky one.
and that all these facts in regard to the
difficulties TO be encountered, are mere
bug. bearers that may deter weaker minds
than theirs; and thus 60 headlong TO ruin,
and alas find when too late that they are
TO be cIassed among the un!ucky. For
our par, we nigh, be induced to leave
whore we are, but not TO 60 to Cal,for.
lila or Oregon, unless we were insured
beyond all doubt OF making sum that
would render us indt penden. in some
civilized country where we would not be
subjec. to the swindie of monopolisis in
articles of subsistence; if no, TO stand a
fair chance Of starvation. Our doctrine
is tina, he that has bread and health is
the only man that holds true wealth.
