The Athens post. [volume] (Athens, Tenn.) 1848-1917, 1858-02-19

A New ROUTE TO THE Pacific We con
graduate the country, says the States, on the
prospect of an early relief from the oppres-
sive monopoly of the Panama Company,
which, in the absence of all competition, sets
no bounds to its exorbitant charges on the
passengers to California.
The Tehuantepec Company proposes to
carry the mails to San Francisco in one-third
less time and for third less compensation.
1t engagesto make the trip in fourteen days
at the start; but, when the road across the
Isthmus is reduced to smooth and regular
working order, it win be accomplished in
twelve days. The opening of the Tehuante.
pee route absolutely marks new era In the
commercial relations and military indepen-
dence OF the United States; and, without TAX.
ing into the estimate the essential advantage
of multiplying our roads across the American
lsthmus, its value, as the shortest and most
easily defended line of communication with
our Pacific States, is beyond all computation.
Next to n railroad through our own terri
tory, this is the most important, because it is
literally the most American route to the
Pacific.
