FROM WAsHINGToN.-IntereSt Account
from Wagon Road ETpeditiOnS.--The Interi-
or Department has just received additional ad-
vices from Superintendent Magraw's section of
the Wagon Road Expedition, dated at the Inde-
pendence Rock, on the 18th OF September.
Engineer Lander, who was in advance of the
party, succeeded in finding an excellent route
from the summit of the South Pass to Beer and
Soda Springs, on the Bear River. and had been
quite successful west Of these springs.
Upon the discovery of good road between
the points first mentioned depended the success
OF this portion of the parties who are engaged
IN the construction of this thoroughare from
Ft Kearney to the California State line at
Honey Lake. The opening of this new route
will save many miles of travel to both Culifor-
MA and Oregon emigrants. 1t is thought the
expedition will get through to California by the
18th of December
The accounts OF Superintendent Kinks sec
ton OF the expedition are also favorable. 1t is
probable the work will be completed before the
time last mentioned.
