OvsRLAxD Man IT, CAL,poaNlA.--Ths
New York Courier learns that leading
railroad men have bscoms alarmed lest the
National Administration. instead Of locating
the Overland MAJ souts along line t.sgin,
ming at some point on the Mississippi River,
convenient ssd accessible to the bulk Of
the population OF the United States, shall
allow itself TO be persuaded to terminate 1t
A. some town upon or near the Southern
border To guard these barge interests
against any surprise, s.in,her l-.rns thA.
the leading officers and stockholders Of the
New England, Now York, New Jerse,
psnnsy lvania, nelewa e Maryland Virginia
railroads will send forward petitions to tn,
Preside ut of the Unssd States, requesting
the rou,s OF the Overland Mad sh~ll no, Ls
fixed further South than ST Louis, bat along
a line at once central and accsssiLle to III
the great interests OF the uat,on.
1t will be seen from the foregoing, that an
effort is on foot BY the leading railroad com
panirs of the United States TO break dawn
the Pacific Road through Texas This is a
signfcan, matter which ought to awaken
public sentiment in this State. It lswe u un-
derslood, wc heev,. Z, At II they cannot sue.
coed in breaking dowh or injuring this road In
any other manner they viii willingly compro-
mise on a more Southern route.
We understand ths,, in view Of this an,icI
patton, there is company forming at Mem
phis with the expectation Of getting a charter
and gr,nt. Of land ever the Albuquerque
route, which passes entirely through l. ;
territory. A an evideLce Of tho jealousy witt
which they regard this route, and the senseless
war they are waging agalnsti,, we append tn I
following communication which we find II
