The Wagon Road to the Pacific.

The wagon roads TO California, the pion-
GERS of the Pacific railroads, will be built
under the supervision of commissioners, at
salary Of $4,000 per annum. The south
ern road proceeds from Memphis, Tenn,
through southern Arkansas 10 Ell Paso,
Texas, thence through the Gadsden pur-
chase to the mouth of the Gila, thence to
San Diego on the coast. The work upon
this route will be placed under the superin-
tendence of Major Ben. McCulloch, renown-
ed in the border wars.
Tie northern route, from Fort Kcarney
in Nebraska, will be confined to the direc.
toin of Major Mobiles, who discoveded the
pass through the Rocky Mountains, which
bears his name. 1t runs through the South
Pass, thence to Honey Lake, nearly at the
base of Sierra Nevada, and will cross the
mountains near the source of the American
fork of the Sacramento. A branch Of thi,
northern road will be constructed from For
Rigely, in Minnesota, to the South Pass, thu
surveys for which have already been com
menced by Major Mobiles. The appropria
tons for the three roads amount to $3.50,
600, which, Of course, will be insufficient
for their completion, The cost Of each prin
cipal road will no doubt exceed a million of
dollars, to place it in tolerable travelling or
der, and large snm will be required fo
annual repairs. -sI

with the statements frem most parts Of the
continent:
The Paris corn market, as we'll as those
throughout France, continues to decline,
and sales are difficult. The tendency in
the Paris flour market during the last week
has been downwards. The accounts from
the agricultural districts as TO the growing
crops are most favorable. The alternate
heat and rain have developed vegetation in
most fortunate manner, and promise an a.
bundant harvest. 1t is expected, likewise,
that this will be an exceptional year for
fruit, and that the crop will be the most a.
bundant seen for the last ten years.
The Jonesvllle (Mich.) Independent says
the wheat fields never looked better than
now. The same paper, on the authority Of
Mr.. ]. T. Blots, an old horticulturist, pro-
nounces the fruit trees uninjured, peaches
included.
Wheat in this county looks remarkably
fine-perhaps as well as 1t ever looked at
this season of the year. But little blowing
has been done, thus far, for spring crops

A good deal Of complaints reaches us
through our exchanges regarding the injury
done to the Wheat crop by the cold weather
March and April; but 1t must be considered
that it is too soon under existing circum.
stances, TO come TO definite conclusions il
this matter. A subscriber in Licking coun.
ty, in this State, in letter TO us two weeks
ago. incidentally stated that the winter
Wheat had with little exception persisted
and that farmers were,in many cases, pow
ing up the wheat fields, with the intention
of putting in their spring grains.
A letter from the same party, dated las
Saturday, and just now before us, states
that his conclusions were premature, anC
that he now believes the crop will be a gooc
one, even i'll cases where it was thought
about the first OF the month, there would bt
none. The blades wihered and persisted
but the roots, as the sequel has proved, re-
manned intact

We observe by the st. Louis papers that
Col. STEWART has returned from Boston,
and is about taking the stump. Col. Stewart
is, or has been, connected with the Hanni-

owned by one THAYER and others, of Bos-

up.with THAYER s. Co., before coming be-

Massachusetts, abolitionists, the people of

vote for STEWART, who is literally owned
in Boston? Will abolitionsm Of Boston, and

Fine Sock.

There is considerable attention being
paid TO stock by QUE farmers, and there is
nothing that will pay better. Good horses
are getting very scarce, and sell at exorbi.
tant prices. A number one saddle or har
ness animal sells readily at from one hun
bred and seventy five TO two and three hun
bred dollars-while blooded brood animals
20 up into the thousands.
There was an impromptu show Of some
fine stock at Fayette, last Monday, on the
fair grounds. Capt. WILLIAMS, of Ran
dolph, had his recently imported "Morgan
Trotter" in the ring, and the way he hand
led himself made some who were looking
forward to silver cups in the fall, rather
thoughtful. He is perfect specimen of a
horse, but voted by outsiders too small

always in small packages. lambda" own

Just as fine, and walked as stately as if he
had seen "Morgan's" before, and feared
not to meet them again-which he will dc
in the fall. "Black Eclipse" owned by Mr.
WIrHERs, although almost old enough tC
vote, according to the Register, was as
sleek, high. melted, and active, as when he
entered upon his brilliant career. "Iror
. Duke" owned by Mr.. SwINNEy, made
his "first appearance, and depOrted him

lish blood that courses through his veins
"Lambda" and Eclipse" are old acquain
tances and favorites, and the "show" wal
really between the "Duke" and "Morgsn,

some to the other-but all agreeing that the!

Gradual Emancipation in Kansss.
Correspondence of the New York journal o
Commerce.

Correspondence of the New York journal of
Commerce,
WAsHINGroN, April 22.-There is some
talk here of a compromise to be made, with
the prior assent OF the administration, of the
Kansas question, by providing, in the State
Constitution, for q limitation TO the existence
of slavery in in the State, and its future ex-
clusion. Private rights existing will, by
this mode, be respected. The owners of
the few slaves in the Territory will thus be
enabled to remove them, in conformity with
the example of the Northern States, which,
when they abolished slavery, did it by fix
ing future day for the enforcement of the
act, and thus enable the Northern proprie-
tors of slaves to sell them to Southern plant
ers-which they did, as was fully shown in
the Missouri discussions in Congress, in
1920.

The Grain Market.

The Cincinnati Gazette thinks the eX-
ctement in the grain market not justified.
1t remarks:
The only State from which unfavorable
reports have bee confirmed, is Illinois, and
there the fall wheat is, where it is seriously
damaged, being replaced by spring. From
this State, Indiana and Kentucky, we hear
fattering accounts. Generally the fields
look well, and throughout, the breadth OF
land planted is much larger than in last
year. AT this time, we are pleased to be
able to report favorable prospect, for q
larger crop of wheat than has ever been
produced in the West. Other crops will
doubtless be equally large.
We clip the following from the New AL
bany Ia.,) Ledger, Of the 29th ult;
'We do not remember year in which
we have not seen paragraphs going the
round of the papers headed "Wheat Crop
Failed" and although these little motto Is
are SO industriously circulated, still tn,
wheat crop more frequently turns out gooC
than bad. This year we see many such no
iices ahoat, but we are assured by pracli
cal farmers that the wheat crop never wa
better, and should partial failure occur
more wheat would be raised than for an,
previous year, for five acres have been sow
this year to one in any previous in tn
wheat growing districts. We may conf
IDENTIFY look forward this year for chea,
bread, and not only cheap, but cheaper thai
has been known for years"
