Cairo and Fulton Railroad in
 Missouri.

In our last we took occasion to comment with some severity upon the conduct of the Mem phls Eagle and Enquirer and the. Little Rock Gazette for heralding to the world the mistate meent that the Cairo and Fulton railroad in Mis- sourl had failed in it's efforts to get the lands from the State.
 In recent issue of the Eagle we notice cor rection of the error and truthful statement that the lands in Missouri had been granted to the Cairo and Fulton company in that State.
 The course of the Gazette is less frank De- termined not to do justice to the Cairo and Full ton railroad, it retorts upon us by quoting an editorial of ours in regard to the passage of a law by the Missouri! Legislature, giving State credit to the Cairo and Fulton railroad, and charging us with an attempt to deceive. If the editor will read that article he will find no state ment in 1t of the passage of any such law Our editorial is merely notice of its passage through one branch of the Legislature, and an allusion to that fact to show that the public sentiment of Missouri was not hostile to the Cairo road as represented by the Gazette
 The bill giving State credit, though it will never become a law, has not vet failed. It is still pending. All these facts we knew, and yet did not consider our statement incorrect- It was made here only with the view to correct the false impression the Gazette has long at tempted to create, that Missouri would never permit the construction of the Cairo road through her limits
 As to the passage of the bill granting the land to the Cairo and Fulton railroad in Mis- sour, the Gazette is silent Any thing favora- ble to that road never finds its way into the Gazettes columns. Having from the com mencement denounced it an improbable scheme something "Nhe naan's trying to hold hinsseLf out ct arms length"-its daily prayers and labors are for the verfcaton of it's prophecy. The bitterest hour of the editors life will be the hour when he first learns the commencement of the work of building the Cairo and F alton rail road. His patriotism and State pride are en- i tirely swallowed up in his selfshness.

Know NctIlingisLl.

AS LhlS IS aG present tuc ail-aOSOfOln9! QucS- ton of the day, we give this week, and refer the defenders of the order to, extracts from the speech of Henry <. Wise and the ritual of tile order We think careful pcrusal of these papers will open the eyes of all right thinking men. Read IEise's $ 5oech--it is . master handling of the subject.
 Asto the anti-slayery sentiments of the Know Nothing order, the proof accumulates upon us The election of Seward-of Wilson-of Dur kee-all laboIitionistst the election of an abolition Governor of Massachusetts-all go to confirm us in the belief of the northern Know Noth- iugs being abolitonists
 The following resolutions adopted by coun- ell of Know Nothings in Maine, indicate pretty plainly their feeling upon the subject:
 '5. Resozoel, That we pledge ourselves to use our utmost eXertions to free our national territories from the curse of slavery, and that we will never consent under any cir ulnstances, to the admission of another slave State to this Union.
 '6. Re8olce7, That any attempt to commit our order in the free States to the advancement of the interests of slavcry-to ignore it as a po- 1 litch questioh-tO stamp 1t side ;ssue--or to cnjolr silence upon Us n respect to its evils and encroachments-1escrves and receives, our sternest disapprobation and dissent.
 And this is the orler that we are told will save the South by suppressins the anti-slayery agitation at the North
 We aoU nerer consent, unIer any circumestan- ces, to Me admission cf ano1er sIave State 0 Mi8 Union" IS one of its mottoes; and with this motto, the South can well understand why the Know Nothnss, if they get the power will prevent the annexation or acquisition of the Island of Cuba. This ant-slavcry sentiment explains their opposition to the acquisition of Cuba.
 And if the Know Nothings are not aboltion- ists in disguise, where lid they come from?-- Have new people, correct in their feelings to- wards the South, sprung up at the North? We know that the demcrat;c party at the North, the only national party therc are opposed to the Know Nothngs. Of whom then is the order composed It is composed chiefly of the whig party, and we all know that the whig party is thoroughly aJoltionizet Look at the votes of Northern whgs in Congress forthe last ten years Have they not been recorded en naasse, ataCGys, against the South?
 The Know Nothngs are composed of whigs, free-soilers, fusionists, women's rights men and few renegade democrats. They are all oppos- ed to slavery, opposed to the repeal ofthe Mis- souri compromise-to the fugitive slave law, can Southern men unite and fraternize with such an order, composed of such medley, and protesting sentiments at war with Southern rights and interests. We ask, how can they assist the Know Nothings in their efforts to elect the next President and then glory over the tri- umph of the oath bound party?

Report of the Secretary of War upon the Pacific Railroad Explo. ratj6ns.

IdCbCLS.
 TNs report is full of matter of the deepest 1 interest to the country. tis careful review Yof all the facts as drawn from the reports of the distinguished engineers sent to examine the various routes, and settles the question of the location of the railroad to the Pacific ocean, The following summary of the facts in regard to each route, we clip from the New York Herald:
 FIRsT-The extreme northern route, (Major 1 Stevens), between, the 47th and 49th parallels of latitude, starring from St. Paul, in Minneso- ta territory and striking the Pacific at Puget's Sound, or the mouth of the Columbia, in Oregon This will require road, allowing for ascent and descent of ? POT miles. Estimated cost, $780, S71,00O The impedments in this route are the mountains to be tunnelled, the numero us rivers to be bridged the scarcity of timber, the coldness of the climate, and its proximity to the British possessions
 SEcoND-Route of the forty-first parallel, Mormon route,) commencing on the navigable waters of the Missouri or on the Platte river, and striking thence ovel the Plains to the South Pass, thence to the Great Salt Lake, thence across the Great Basin to the Sierra Navada chain, thence over that chain, and down to the Sacramento river and down the same to Benicia just above San Francisco on the same harbor. Estimated distance from Council Bluffs to Be- nicia, 2,O31 miles; estimated cost, $116 O95,OO0. Distractions same as in the first route, including wider deserts and deeper and rougher mountain gorges
 THIRD-Route of the thirty-eight parallel, more iamiliarly known as Benton's great Gen. blo from its mountain Instructions. Estimated length from Westport to San Francisco, 2,O0O miles. The Typographical Engineers gave up all estimates of the cost of road by this route, in absolute despair. Thus much for old Bull lion and his buffalo trails, when reduced to sci entific engineering
 FoURTH-Route of the thirty y-ffth parallel Senator Rusk's route)-beginning at Fort Smith, in Arkansas, thence westward to Albu- querque on the Upper Rio Grande, thence across the Rocky Mountains and the Colorado of the West and great desert basin and its mountains, and the lower end of the Sierra Nevada chain to San Pedro, at the southern extremity of Cali fornia, on the Pacific This route is about as bad as Benton's, although the engineers think that 3,l37 equated miles anl S169, 21O, 265 might, perhaps, do the work.
 FIFTH-Route near the thirty second paral- Tel, or the extreme southern route, via Texas, New Mexico, Fl Paso and the Gla to the Pa cifc Estimated distance from Fulton in Ar kansas, to San Pedro on the Pacific l,618 miles -equatcd length, allowing for asccnts and de- scents, 2,233 miles, Estimated cost, S68, ,87O- COO.

Creek AqencY. January IS. 1855

DEAR SIR-For several days have been en- toying the hospitality of Col Garrett, the gen. temanly agent for the Creeks The Colonel is very popular with these people, and why should he not be?-there is not in this whole country a cleVerer gentleman or better public officer. kind and hosptable to fault-I speak from the book, as have been enjoying his hospita- lty.
 The Creek payment has been going on for several days, which has brought together large number of people out of the State. All aoes on smoothly, the merchants looking we'll pleas ed, creditors anxiously waiting to receive their dues; and so far as I can learn or my observa- tion goes, they will be satisfied. There is one feature in this payment that deserves the high est praise--there has been no q,sayrezAaq or drfnhtng and very little gaming The hge, n- stead of scratching the boys has been badly scratched himself-so that there is little cause for long faces.
 The payment will be over at this point on tomorrow. It commences at Tucabac1a on Monday, where two-thirds of the money yet due the upper Creeks will be paid out. The money now being paid the Creeks is for lost property, and will do a great deal of good to these people. They do not spend their money as they draw their respective amounts they leave for home, and it will be a long time be- fere this money leaves the nation.
 The creeks are very good farmers, and some ot them excellent livers Indeed there is great deal more civilization in this nation than many persons would suppose. speak well of this people, because they have acted nobly in paying up their just debts. M.
