The Southern Route.

The TexASo papers received by the last arrivals
bring US letter OH, the subject Of the adaptation
for The construction Of "A railroad Of the country
on and near The parallel Of the Sd degree Of nOr
latitude, through the State Of Texas. and The Va.
lue of the laHCs within the rcscrvat made by
the late railroad act OF Texas. II was addressed
to Senator Rusk by Lieut.. F. J. Wood, formerly
of the Typographical Engn<vr", and NO" '-rtr
I'd dragons. The Il.~s I~w prescrbes that The
ronte Shall between the parallels Of 800 80
and 320. Lieut.. Wood writes from pereonp
knowledge OF the territory from the Trinity river
to the most westernly sources OF the Colorado
river, having entered it at several points and
ruversed 1t in various directions.
OF HE topography Of the country lie gives a
very favorable account. 1t is extremely well
watercd, has numerous fine Streams, with well
wooded bottoms, and, is an undulaing country,
OF ALTERNATING praire and woodland with abuu.
dance Of timber; naked plains >and no mour.
tpins. There are long ranges of low hills, but
none 10 interrupt travel or interfere with agricuI.
tura pursuits. There is no serious obstruction
to the easy construction of railroad.
Lieut.. Wood speaks Of the discovery and work
ing of coal in the vicinity Of Fort BeIknap, and
pronounces tie whole region TO be of a carLonI'
er Gus, or coal bearing nature.
OF lis fertility he gives very glowing account:
From an Acquaintance Of five years with the ter
riiory he pronounces it fine country for the
growth OF cotton and all the cereal grains, and
the prairie regions admirably adapted 10 pastu.
rial grazing purposes. 1t re lures but industry
moderate expenditure of capital, and access TO
market, to make the country TEEN with an "ttiu'
en-: population, and thus contribute immensely 10
the profits Of a railroad running through il. The
road, too, could be used at all seasons OF tho
year, without any fear Of impeachment from snow
This letter, written by gentleman Of uncom
mon intelligence and long familiar with The coun'
try of which he is speaking, is a valuable tcsl'
mony to the advantage Of this Southern route
and sufficient contradiction OF the disparagng
accounts which have sometimes been suggested,
rather than asserted against it, by The advocaie'
Of rival routrs.-N 0. Picayunc.

The Veto Message.

The President has sent in his Message to Con-
gross vetoing the Lunaiic Land Bill. Speaking
of The Message, Tie Washington Correspondent to
the South Caronan, says: The message is
we'll and eioqucn.ly written, exhibiting sudous
regard for those who have been considered the
rxpounderS of the Constitution IN lis pristine en-
ergv and power. This manly opposition 10 a
measure that is regarded us violation of the de-
mocratic creed, has elevated Gen. Pierce in the
estimation Of his true friends and those Of the
country-that the opportunity, when presented for
his action, will be guided by the impartial admin
islration of thu high powers of his position, with
fearless and devoted attachm emt 10 the consiiIu-
ton, on which is based the great and noble prn-
cpies, that are incorporated in is exercise"

Tiac Kentucky Trial.

The verdict in this case seems TO have produ-
ced great excitement in the West. Every paper
in Louisville it is stated, except the Journal, con-
dcmns In the severes terms the verdict OF the jury
in The case of Matt. F. Ward, as burning dis
grace TO the State of Kentucky. Throughout the
West this seems TO be the prevailing sentiment,
and the press is eagerly disavowing all approx
al, express or implied, oil the acquittaI of Ward.
The excitement at Louisville rose to such pitch,
that on Saturday evening, as Geographic dispatches
inform us, meeting held at which resolu-
tons were passed calling on Hon. John J. Critten
den, one Of the volunteer counsel of Ward, TO re-
sign his seat 10 the United Stses Senate; reques.
ting W,lfc, another Of the counsel to resign his
place in The State Senate; and inviting the Ward
family to leave the State. When this meeting was
over mob proceeded to the house Of the murder
ers father. Robert J. Ward, where the effigies Of
Matt. F. Ward and his brother were burned so
close to the front door to set fire to the wood
work.
The people are cxasperated beyond all question,
but we doubt if any good results can flow from
such ebuions of feeling, however natural, as
those mentioned. The verdict Of the jury ought
to be regarded with some lenry, considering the
influences and agencies brough: to bear IN behalf
Of the accused. The crime itself, and the whole
trial and its concomitaEls, show a very sad condi-
ton Of society in that section.-C ufoliniun.
