The road which was travelled is said to be quite
good, considering that there are comparatively
very few settlers on the route lit being on an
average from twenty-five to forty miles west Of
the Mississippi. There was no difficulty, how.
ever, in finding houses to stop at over night
aud by the time the winter sets in, there will
be stations within a few miles of each other the
entire distance and then it is intended to have
six stages on the road and make triweekly
trips. We hail this as another evidence of the
importance which the "west side"is beginning
to assume, when it excites the attention of such
old fogies as John Frink, and predict that long
before the railroad is completed, it will become
the main travelled route in the winter season.

COMING To THEIR SENSES. james T. Brady,
leading Democrat of New-York, and Chair
man of an important committee, in a letter to
X. W. Peckham, member of Congress, in oppo-
sition to the Nebraska bill, says:
al regard the consummation of this Nebraska
plot as another of the contrivances so numerous
in the machinery of President-uaking. Nav il
happen as in former instances. that the engine
designated to injure others may destroy only its
inventor. Heaven grant that you and l may
live to see the Presidential chair filled by some
gentleman, entirely qualified by intellectual
and moral characteristics to adorn the station,
and that the descending graduation of the in
cumbents, which has for some years injured our
national reputation. may not be continued, by
adding to the succession of the incompetent
and unworthy one whose only reliance for sue
cess will be founded on his INSCRIPTIONS use oil
