Cor. DExrox's PAcIFIc RML%oip.-I'he
Santa Fe Gazette speaks very untavorab!y Of
COL Bcnton's route to the Pacific and from the
following extract from that paper, we should
think the friends of his projrc; woad do well
to abandon it. The statement oF LcronN was
of very little force in the first place. He has
been in the mountains for Il humber Of years.
and cannot even write his own name !; and we
should think his ideas of the science Of civil
engineering We're worth very little. There is
hardly man that has drove sheep or cattle
from Independence, SO, to California, who
has not some new route to the Pacific, and Its
practicability for q railroad over that rocky and
mountainous country:
We have been at some trouble to inform our.
selves of the practicability ofthe route known
Vas BGhton's route, for Il raiiroad,and the result
of the information we have received convinccs
us that the road never can be located through
the passes indicated by Col. Benton and his
frienls and if it was located any where III
that elevated region of country, it would BE-
distracted by Snow during al the winter
months.
Among the gentlemen from whom we OBJ.
tanned this information was Capt CcrIn ST.
Vrain. He stated to US and others during last
spring. that the idea OF locating railroad
through the country mentioned in Leroux's let,
ter to COL Benton, was ridiculous aud absurd.
That he knew the country well, and that there
were no passes through the mountains that
could be regarded as practicable; and that in
his opinion the SHOWS OF winter would form al
insurmountab!e barrier. during most OF the
winter months.

cpte not very dissimlar 10 others, excep,
the cylinders are now single acting bat
these the Inventor intends 10 supersede
by oae doub'e-ac,ing cylinder in lieu OF
