library, apparatus, &C., as large as the 0st si;l-
cious bedrooms anywhere to be found ia the

The PAcIFIc RAILROAD SCHEME Col Ben
ton in letter to the st. Louis Democrat, calls
attention to the fact that he got clause inserted
in the general post road bill for direct route
between st. Louis and San Francisco, by the
mouth of the Huerfano and the Little Salt Lake
to Stockton, on the San Joaquin river in the val

San Francisco, and also of the Sacramento riv
ers
lie also states that auxiliary to this he secured
another prov sion granting pre- emptive right in
stations to the extent of $40 acres, at the rate of
one for every twenty miles. This is, he says, a
most important provision under many aspects
First, it enables this important mail route
to 60 into operation and to be maintained and

stations across the continent which will quickly
become line of settlements Thirdly, it legal
ly recognizes the central route to the Pacific ;
and in my opinion, virtually establishes it for the
railway"

upon the old Missouri Compromise Line though
it is by no means certain tlat majority will be
be in favor Of repeal. If they should be, it will
avail nothing, as the Senate viii non-coucur."
