themselves for active trade in the Fall and
the feeling of dependency which prevailed in
some quarters few weeks since, has nearly dis
appeared. The country is in a sound. healthy
aud wholesome condition, and we have every
reason to be grateful. We shall not only have
enough of all the leading grains for home con

has been admirably calculated to strengthen the
hopes of the farmer, and 10 fill his granaries with

New PpeiGc Rniirend scheme.

We see II stated that severai politicians and
members Of Congress ,inoudlng Orr OF South Ia
rolina, Robinson. Covnde, md Bradshaw al Penn
sylvania. Barbour Of Wisconsin and Others have
projected a new scheme of Pacific Railroad
starting from Omaha in Nebraska. and reaching
the Pacific via Platte Valley and the South Pass
| The company has been organizedby the election
of President. Secretary, and Treasurer-and
the capital has been fixed at sixty millions Of
dollars
Now, whoever supposes tina, this is n bona fdc
organization for building railroad 10 the Pacific
commits egregious error. Nothing Of the
sort, we undertake to say, is contemplated In
the first place, the route is too far North, aud to-
tally unfit for suc oh purpose: as these men cen.
oerned in ii very we'll know In the next place.
sixty millions of dollars would not build the road
one tenth of the way and, in the last place, the
aggregate wealth Of the whole company, we do
not hesitate to declate. instead of amounting to
sixty millions of dollars, does not amount 10 one
million. To talk of building railroad TO the
Pacific, under these ciroums Instances, is simply
absurdity.
What is the object of this movement them 1t
Is To obtain from the general government large
grant of the public lands -nothing else. At the
next session of Congress, The secret Of this thing
will be developed. This company will apply for
grant Of alternate sections of the public lands,
and will get ;hem-perhups six or eight millions
of acres. To keep up the illusion they will build
a short railroad in Nebraska-Lut the design is
10 get possession Of the public lands, sell them
out to~peculators aud settlers, aid pocket tho
money They design making the mistaken aud
unwiso libcrality Of the General Government the
means of their own personal enrichment. That's
all.
We are not surprised that Northern should
be engaged in n scheme of this sort-but did
not expect to see Col. Orr Of South Carolina in
such company. Let the people of the South
watch the land grants Of the next Congress, if
they would penetrate some Of the unrevealed Sc
crets of legislation.
