of the United States for Railroad track
from the Mississippi to the eastern bounda-
ry of California, to any company who may
contract to build it. It grants the contract
ors, in aid of the construction of the work,
alternate sections of public lands for twenty
miles on each side of the track, and also re-
serves to them the transportation of the u.
5. mail at the maximum rate of compensa.
tion of $500 mile. The contractors are
to deposit security with the Government to
the amount of $2,00O,OOO for the execu.
tlon of the work. The Government is to
advertise for offers to build the road, and ac-
cept the most satisfactory proposal. The
Government is to have the right of trans.
porting troops and munitions of war over
the road at reasonable rate. to be fixed by
Government. The contractors are to have
the use of the road for 40 years. and then
give it up to the United States; but, in the
meantime, the Government may, al any

The Indians at ReIknaD,

Mr. a. r. Corley has just returned from
Fort Belknap. bringing full statement Of
The Indian raid upon that post which has e.

There is moral to be CLEANED from this

Indians far above the frontier settlements.

embarking from Dublin. Southampton, and
we have reason to belive from Tonlon and

piece Of mica taken from the breast Of a

sigred to commemorate some deed Of an IA

the lives Of VIM. Welch and his family
