This is the sort of country, for 355 miles In
extent, which Mr.. Davis calls the "great
plain" spread out by nature SO invitingly for
Western emigration.
The part of the route between St. Louis and
Little Rock alternates between hills and broad
swamp. No stage has ever passed over it, nor
has any mail route ever been attempted on it,
nor IL it possible to drive a four horse vehicle
between these points in less time than it will
take to travel from st. Louis half way to San
Francisco.
So much for the Southern border route"
The direct route from st. Louis, on the other
hand, is, in the first place, shorter, as we have
already shown, by at least four days travel.
1t passes through the Cherokee settlements,
O succession Of villages where supplies can al
ways be obtained.
1t is the favorite emigrsnt route-the best
possible evidence that it is the easiest aud
safest to traverse.
1t is for the most of the way well watered
and productive, there being but one dry plain,
and that only forty miles in length, the whole
d;stance. The climate is as mild as that OF
Washington, while snow has never been known
to fall there more than eight inches deep.
st. Louis the starting point, is the terminus
of the great network Of railways which distrib.
ute the domestic commerce of the Northern and
Middle States. These railroads and their con-
pecfiops, it is ascertained, transact ct least
thre, fourths of the whole railroad business Of
the country. OF the $4,000 miles OF railroad
Generated in the United States, not more-we
;ncIiue to think considerably less-than 5000
lie sou b of Virgins. :,

dian, and thus opens to settlement me f'cHes

1ork many years ago, he passed store in one
OF the principal streets, in which an auctioneer
was soliciting bids for an engraving of General
jackson. Both the seller and the crowd were
no political friends of the subject of the picture,
and were ridiculing it in every possible manner.
how much am L offered for the Hero Of New
Orleans Z" cried the man at the stand. "Only
halt a cent? Why, he's worth cent, surely,
after robbing the bank. Make it cent, won't
you, gentlemen Now, then, how much am
offered ?" "One hundred dollars I" said
voice, very emphatically, as Colonel Harvey en-
tered the door " one hundred dollars, sir" he
repeated, making his way through the crowd,
halt head taller than any other man in the
room. The auctioneer, naturally astonished,
inquired II the man was in earnest, and started
again on his witticisms. "Sir, am in earnest,
and | claim my bid" interrupted the Colonel
land II no one bids more, / claim the picture"
No one bidding more, he handed the auctioneer
the money and his address. "And now, sir"
he remarked, Selling him by the collar and drag
ging him to the floor, L" claim the privilege of
applying the bastinado to your body for your
damnable impertinence." And having caned
him to his satisfaction, no one in the crowd
venturng to interfere he strobe out of the store,
and continued his walk down the street. Ana
lyze the quality of character necessary for
man to be the actor in such a scene, and l
think you will discover the traits which military
men consider to fit General Harvey eminently
as the leader of this Utah expedition.

unsettled portion Of the United States. This
region lies between Kansas and Texas, and
vest of Arkansas, and is about 400 miles long
and 225 miles broad it would make two
States, each with more arabic land than Geor-
gia. The country lying to the west of it, stu
ated on the head waters of the Canadian and
OF the Pecos, (part being in Texas and part in
New Mexico,) about 200 miles square, would
make State of about the size of Pennsylvania,
and OF about the climate and value of North
Carolina. The first two States would be as
productive, of nilder climate, and more healthy,
than the State of Illinois. In this, all authori-
ties. we believe, concur.
Regardless of the manifold advantages of this
route, and In the face of the apparently insur-
mountable objection to the border route, the
President has assented to the selection of the
latter; he has determined to run the road
through country which can never be settled,
and which can never repay its cost to the Gov
eminent by advances in the value of adjacent
lands and he has determined to compel the
trade and travel of California to start from a
point several hundred miles south of, the line
which would best accommodate three-fourths
OF the people of the United States, and even
the remaining fourth better than by either
route the Northern three fourths are accommo-
Dated for it is fact that the people of Charles
ton and Savannah, through Nashville; of Pen.
sacols and Mobile, through Cairo and of New
Orleans, through Memphis, and thence directly
north along the Iron Mountain railroad, can
each and all reach St. Louis by travelling few
er miles, and over better grades, than can the
people of Boston, or New York, or Philadel-
phia, or Baltimore, or even of Norfolk.
The object of Congress in projecting this
carriage road was to prepare the country be
tween the Mississippi and California for rail
| road, to learn the resources and situation of
the intervening territory, to attract emigrants
along the route, who should ultimately assist in
building, operating, and as travellers, in pay
ing the expenses of such work. All those
ends are completely frustrated by the sectional
course pursued by the President and his ad-
visers
For merely personal and selfish ends, we are
bound to suppose, as he has wholly disregarded
| the public interests, Mr.. Buchanan has select
ed route upon which nobody lives. and has
rejected a route which the people of Memphis
and the South generally, in common with the
rest of the country, have been in the habit of
travelling for twenty five years; route which
is almost continuously settled, and upon which
United States mails have long been regularly
carried without serious interruption.
The President has not carried out the intent
of Congress, and we shall be greatly surprised
if he does not hear from that body upon the
subject before the close of another session.

In personal appearance, General Harvey is
Impressive. He is considerably over six feet
tall and is iarge-boned and muscular. His
HAIR was red, but is now thickly mixed with
whi.e. lie wears 1t short, and begins to be
PAID on the crown of his head. His NOUS
tacles and beard are nearly white, and are also

and dull, for he uses spectacles. In Younger
years, he must have been a model of nbvs;cal
vvigor and strength but he now looks older
than he really is, for his age, believe does not
exceed ftty-hve. While in St. Louis. I heard
