Wagon Road to the Pacifc-A Good
al.

A bill has passed to its third reading
in the House Of Representatives, appro-
priating $500, 900 for the construction
Of wagon road from Fort koarnev, in
Nebraska, via the South Pass Of the
Rocky Mountains, to the eastern bound
airy line Of California, near Honey Lake
the said road to connect with and for
an extension of the road already author
lied from Fort Ridgely to the aforesaid
South Pass. The sum of $500, 900 is
also appropriated for the construction of
wagon road from I'll paso to Fort Yuma,
at the mouth Of ella river, and $50, 900
for the construction of wagon road
from Fort Independence, New Mexico, t.
the Colorado river These are practical
and useful appropriations. They contri.
butte directly to available lines of CON
mnnication between the Mississippi val
ley and the Pacific ocean. Let these road,
include the digging of wells of water al
convenient stations in the deserts to b,
crossed, and military stations here ant
there, at points affording margin o
soil capable of cultivation, and then, will
plentiful supply of canels, We shall
scarcely feel the necessity of Pacif'
Railroad for fifty years to come. At al
events, as it may require that length o
time to build the Railroad, even by tn
shortest rout, it is proper that Congress
should at once give us the several gov
eminent wagon roads proposed in tn
aforesaid bill.--Ner Tort Haarld.

Walkers Deserters-Hls Condition Oes
perate

From Mr.. McDoungh, a passenger from
California, our reporter has gained some
additional facts OF interest. On the ar
rival of the Golden Gate of Panama, they
found there one hundred and sixty men,
who had succeeded in escaping from
Walkers army. The proclamation OF
President Mora of Costa Rica, inviting
persons connected with Walkers band
who desired to escape from himandprom-
ising them protection and safe passage
to any part Of the United States, had
been extensively circulated in all parts OF
Nicaragua, and even among Walker 5
men--this last being aceo nplshed through
the native women who came to them with
fruits Acting upon this offer, they
left in small numbers, and sometimes
singly, as they could escape, and walked
across the mountains to Costa Rica,
where they were treated with the utmost
kindness, furnished with food, and all
their wants attended to.
After they had partially recovered their
healths, they were forwarded by the
steamer Panama from Puta Arneas, on
the Pacific side. TO Panama. Thence
they were taken by railroad to Aspin
wall, where one hundred and twenty took
passage to New Orleans, and about TWEEN
ty-fye came by Illinois to this city
These persons state at the time oftheil
leaving Walkers cause was HOPELESS anc
the condition Of his men was terrible.
They were destitute of food and clothing
being bare-footed and halt-naked, half
starved, sick and emaciated; aud whel
they left Walker had Gully theree hun
dred effective men.
His treatment Of his men was a scan
dal to civilization and humanity. Fo
sixteen days they lived on mule meat =
His officers are made up of gambler
and Enthusiastically the offscour
ines of San Francisco, New Orleans an
New York. In very many Instance
however, the case is different with tn
men, where they 90 out intending i
good faith to settle as farmers, but ar
pressed into service Immediately on land
inc.
They stated also that the Costa RIGA
authorities had offered reward of $50
. 600 for the capture of Walker alive, q
+ $40, 900 for his head.
The Costa Rica papers inform us th,
5000 more troops were tob added
the allied forces, 1000 to be supple
from each nation. Gen. Canas was ,
, march with some 500 men from Leo
against Rivas, and 1000 men we're
march on San Juan del Sur, so that II
intention il to surround Walkers forc'
with nreely 5000 men The uamercifi
odds would then be twelve to one.
