Y The TEMPERANCE CAUsE.-There are prog
nostics of great Temperance reform in
this State at an early day. A gentleman
who has Travelled much throughout the
State and conversed with many of its citi-
zens, assures US that most of the people
are ready ond eager to vote on the question
of a prohibitory Liquor Law. But three,
newspapers-the Dubuque Express, Burling-
ton Gazette, and.Kcokuk Di,paieh, openly op-
pose this measure, while the majority of
the remainder advocate it, a few appearing
to be afraid tos say anything on the subject
either pro or con. Large conventions have
been held in several countries, and resolu-
tions passed to support only such candi-
dates for Office who are pledged to sustain
prohibitory law. These facts indicate a
speedy consumation of the reform. Nav it
be even SO!
In this connection, We are pleased. as
further evidence of the increasing prosperi-
of this measure, to advert to the action
of the late Wing State Convention at Iowa
City, in endorsing the proposed reform
We donot claim it as political measure,
or distinctive principle between the Wing
and Demo cratic parties, but being great
moral and political reform which mill un
doubleday receive strong opposition, we re
joice that the Wings have taken fearless
and determined stand, hoping nad believing
that the Dem ocratic party will do likewise.
1t should never be made party question.
but is both a moral and political enc, and Is
such requires the consideration of the peo-
pie at the polls rs much as any one which
they have ever voted. t'A" So

Time was, when We went to the circus,
and gazed with delighted wonder on the ia
ctaty with which the performers turned
somersets in the air. 1t must have been
very disagreeable for them to dress fantas-
tieally and cut such antics before the public,
but practice had made it easy, it was popu.
lar, and it paid. We have sometimes
thought it possible that man with decid-
ed genius for performing somersets, might
accomplish one at the very first effort, and
without any previous practice.
Apoiitieai somerset is not usually east
ly accomplished: it generally requires weeks
and even months to 20 through the opera
ton. Our surprise has therefore been con-
siderably excited by the dexterity and
quickness with which our friend T. nj. Will
liams, of the Enquirer, has lately perform
ed this species of gymnastic exercise. f
1t seems that on the 2lst inst, while in
the Rock Island Advertiser Office, he was
personally and politically and strongly OPP
posed to the Nebraska Bill. On the 22d,
in tho Republican Office, he announced him
sell publicly opposed to it, hut sspersonally"
in favor OF 1T. Here is a remarkable somer-
set performed in single night, and appar-
emily without previous preparation!

Toadysm to Douglas is dsreputable enough but

the last degree and we are glad that the Enquirer
under the editorial control OF friend WILLIAMS will

From Salt Lake.

Lieutenant Beckwith, of the overland
surveying party. arrived at San Francisco
on the Sd inst, from Salt Lake via the
Humb ,ldt and Fort R eading, having left
the former place on the 9th of May. and
the latter on the 25th ult
Lieut.. Beckwith with his assistant sur
veyors and attaches to the corps. consisting
in all of sixty souls. arrived at the Great
Salt Lake City in November, 1853. In
April Of the present year the Lieutenant
with his party went eastwards again, as
far as Green river, on surveying tour.
On the 9th of May, the company left
Salt Lake, and struck off due westward
some forty miles to the southwark OF the
regular travelled California trail. About
seventy.hve miles this side of the valley,
the party came upon solid granite boulder
or hill some fifteen or eighteen hundred
feet in heighth, in which was found clear
cool spring Of water. After leaving this
poiGt they journeyed on directly to the
Humboldt, which they reached in about
two weeks, being delayed day or so in
removing distractions from the road. All
along the Humboldt there is the most fea-
sible route imaginable for railroad, and
according to Lieut.. Beckwith's statement,
surveys would be almost superfuous. All
the way from Salt Lake to California the
party found an abundance of grass and
water for their cattle and stock, which ar.
rived at Fort Reading in good OF der. The
Lieutenant informs US that with his present
knowledge of the country, he could lay out
road from California to the Grrat Salt
Lake Valley at least one hundred and fifty
miles nearer than any heretofore travelled
with an abundance of wood, water and
grass, along the entire route, and he would
ensure the traveller freedom from all an.
noyances from insects, except, perhaps
while crossing Mary's River. :

hve different passes were examined in this
range with direct reference to their FEAST
hillty ier the line of the Pacific Railroad.
All OF these lie to the northwar'l of Mobiles
Pass, except the latter, which il included
IN the number of those examined. After
careiui surveys, all Of the above routes are
pronounced to be impractcable, with the
exception of Noble's Pass, and the one fr,,
nortn OF 1t. Of the superiority of these
two, Lieut.. Beckwith is as vet unprepa,e ed
to express any opinion, but he unhesita.
tlngly declares that none Of the passes ex-
cePt MOBILES and that adjoining. are or can
De adapted to the passage of railroad. IN

Inc greatest difficulties of the contem.
plated route for railroad are to be en-.
countered in the "foot hills" of the Sierra
Nevada, that but for these there would
scarcely be any seri .us impediments to
the construction Of the road.
