Up TO TTME--Mr. Whitfield, the new del
egate from Kanxas, has intoduced bill into
House of Representatives,, at Washington,
providing for grant Of land for the construc-
tion ofa Railroad in Kanzas territory. Ifh he
is perfectly certain it will be slave State,
the bill will pass. If not, not. About three
millions Of acres have been granted to Mis-
souri, for Railroads, but Iowa cannot get an
acre.
eTRecruiting for the British army is 60.
Ing on faster than usual in England and Ire
land, but too sic va for the exigencies Of the
war. A private letter from Dublin says that
the British Government are making preper-
ations 20 ballot for soldiers in that city and
throughout the provincial towns.
SENATORIAL CoURrBsY.--We hear on the
arrival of Senator Atchison in Washington,
he was waited on, by Senator authorized
so to do, with an assurance that if he was so
disposed to resume his position as the pre-
siding oficer of that body, Mr.. Vice Presi-
dent Bright would forthwith resign the chair.
We lea IN that his answer was an nstan,
disclaimer Of any idea ofinterfering with
that gentleman's position. So it may now
be regarded fixed fact that, for the remain
der oe the presidential term of FIanIlin
Pierce, Jesse D. Bright is to be Vice Pres
ident OF tho United States.-Star.

Telegraph to the Pacific.

Among the important subjects now before

toned the bill reported yesterday by Mr..
FARLEY, from the Committee on Territories.
1t is the Senate bill authorizing the con-
struction of subtcrranean line of tee graph
from the Missouri or Mississippi river to the
Pacific ocean. The utility Of such a work,
ifthe price Of transm ssion should not be too
high, if self-evident, but the question wheth-
er it would be secure from Indian depreda-
ton or the malice Of bad wEite men is a
matter to be well considered The difficulty

of the least, but human ingenuity at present

Letters from Granada to November Goth
give a lanentable account OF the sanguinary
progress Of the civil war in that distracted
country. The legal President, CHAMoRRo,
was gaining headway sgainst lis opponents,
and appearances all favored the prospect Of
his ultimate success. His army was being
joined daily by fresl. volunteers, many of the
large landed prepretors have come forward
to put an end to the protracted struggle
The rebel chief CAsTELLoH was said to be q
prisoner in his own h, use at Leon, not da-
ring to venture forth, though his army num-
bcied fifteen hundred men. Chamorro's or.

The Way to Build up d State.

Gov. GRIMES, of Iowa, in his inaugural
address, thus describes the wants of the thri-
ving,State over which he presides.
"She wants educated farmers and mechan.
ics, engineers, architects, metallurgists, and
geologists. She needs men engaged in the
practical duties of life, who have conquered
their professions, and who are able to imPart
their knowledge TO others. She wants far
mers who shall be familiar with the princi-
pies OF chemistry as applied to agriculture;
architects and mechanics who will adorn her
with edifces wsrthy Of SO fair land; and en-
sinters and geologists who will develop her
resources, and thus augment the wealth and
happiness of her citizens This want can
only be supplied by the establishment OF d
school of applied sciences. ! have no hest
tation, therefore, in recommending that .
University fund be appropriated to establish
a practical scientific or polytechnic school. ;
