We have already mentioned the arrival IN
this city of the contractors for stocking and
Running the stage route across the Isthmus of
Tehuantepeo. They start this morning for
Minstitlan, accompanying large detachment
of laborers, sent by the company 10 complete
the road. There is no doubt that it will be
ready to receive the stock, which is in prepa-
ration, and will be out there during the month
of January. We look forward, therefore, with
certainty to the opening Of the road for travel
by the lst of February.
This grand enterprise will thus be put into
position which ensures its future success.
The first and only critical stage of its pro-
gress will have been passed through triumph
antly.
All the conditions of the grant will have
been pnnctuslly fulfilled, and the most fastidi-
Gus requisition of the Mexican Government
complied with to the letter. This removes
every shadow of apprehension from that
source, if any could exist, after the many mani
festati0ns of the cordial good will of the Mex.
can people and authorities, towards the enter
prise.
The road enjoys the benefit of treaty slip.
ulation for its protection, contained in the
Gadsden treaty, and is thus placed under the
guarantee of two Governments.
With title perfect, protection secured, and
the preliminary road completed and stocked,
there is an absolute faith that il will so demon
strate its own superiority over all other means
of communication as to give it preference eve
rywhere, with business men, travellers, capi-
taists and governments.
It's advantages are great and manifest.
1t brings San Francisco and our Pacific pos.
sessions two thousand miles nearer to the Uni
ted States, at New Orleans, than it is by the
Panama route to New Iork-a saving of nearly
ten days travel.
It's eastern terminus is within the Gulf Of
Mexico, near to, and of easy access from the
Gulf ports, the navy and the defences of the
United States, and therefore emphatically the
American route above all Others, which are ac-
cessble only by an intricate and perilous nayi-
CATION through the Caribbean Sea.
OF the effect of this quick and consequently
cheap communication upon the prosperity Of
the Southwest particularly, it is impossible to
speak without using terms which seem exag
gerated. To Us here it is of immense value; to
the whole system of our railroads and the CEN
trial and northern roads connecting with them,
it will be the continuing link which extends
them to the Pacific Ocean. 1t will concentrate
the commerce OF the West and Southwest in
their natural channels, from which Northern
capital has been Wrestling them into the direo-
ton Of the Eastern ports, aud it will build up
here commercial city worthy Of the prodigious
amount of trade that must centre here, to be
distributed through the vast regions of the West
and to distant continents.
To all the commercial and political interests,
the progress and the detences Of the whole
country, it will prove great blessing; aud to
this region in particular. a source of great and
immediate increase.-N D. PicayzHe.
