Letters from Neosho, Newton county of the 10TH adj
wise of the departure of Mr. r. f. Green and his line
OF mail coaches the previous day for albuquerque In
good condition An event of this kind created quite
sensation at Neosho and there illumination sup
per- speeches from the citizens and good time gcnely
Mr.. Green expected to arrive at Albuquerque on the
10th of next month Mr.. John Britton of Noosho ac-
companed the mail party guide. AS already stated
mail but it is in contemplation to have general bow
out the arrival of the coaches from Albuquerque 1t
is Mr.. Green's intention to follow possible
the 35th parallel of latitude after nerccptng Lieut.
Beale who is in the field surveying the route for
this line This information will be exceedingly gratfy-
ing those who have all along contened that the best
most direct and practicable route for the railroad
Meeting the Mississippi and the Pacific is the line
of the 35th parallel wagon road and the mail coach
must precede this location but have doubt that
Lieut. Bealc's route via Albuquerque will prove the
rnents Of and cold weather The Butterheld Com
pany have done wonders in transporting the mail from
San Francisco to ST. Louis in twenty oHr days. and we
give them oil credit for it, They have done it in def
OF obstacles of serious character, and they tell
that they reduce the time to twenty days. We
believe it but If they do this the Preston road
what might not expect from them if their route was
changed in the direction of Albuquerque the distance
thereby shortened three four hundred miles, all the
sandy deserts of their present road avoided and wood
water and fair roads, and plenty of land for settlements

have been put into operation by liberal admins-

tFrom the Baltimore Patriot.l

We are informed upon the best authority, and wc take
great pleasure in making it public that George Peabody
esd has most generously added 100000 to the Pea
body Institute fund tor the erection of the noble cdce
now going up in this city This, with the previous en-
dowment on the part of Mr.. F., makes more than HALF
MILLION DOLLARS
We also learn, from the authority, that this dis
tinguished and liberal minded gentleman has not only
passed through unscathed the tremendous financial crisis
he is at this time in possession OF larger fortune than
at any previous period of his e and that this addition
al sum Of 100000 will not at all interfere with his
ability and willingness to go to ''do good while he
lives and thus to great extent be his own executor

that time the strength OF the Romans gone having
been destroyed by their vices and tho desposms to which
they had been subjected In fact they had long ceased
to be military people to bear arms and had been

they should have fallen prey to them is no more won
