The Panama Star publishes intelligence from VAL
paraso to the 3lst of August from which we extract
the following
The Chile Congress has closed its session on the
3lst August One of their last and most important
acts was that of bill authorizing the Executive to
purchase the Valparaiso and Santiago Railway shares
The bill reads as follows:
The President of the Republic is authorized
during the space of six months to buy up the shares
of the Valparaiso railway, in so far as the share
holders should be willing to sell. Iu thus purchasing
the shares, the State becomes invested with the
rights and prerOgatives of the shareholders, whose
shares it purchases, in accordance with this law
This first article being sanctioned the Others are
merely formally and the project approved will
be Immediately ratified by the Senate
The railway, branch OF Gopiapo, from Pabellion to
ChanarcilIo is nearly finished, twelve miles of the
line which is to unite the most important mining
ceners being ready. Speaking of this railway. the
correspondent of one of our papers says;
On the 29th of July Mr.. Taggert, engineer on the
Gupiapo Railway, made an experimental trip on the
new road, which quite satisfactory and very in
teresting.
The highest point 10 the railway, Copiapo Branch,
at about two miles from the present terminus has
elevation of 4479 feet above the level of the sea- and
before the celebration of the next anniversary of the
Independence of Chile, the steam engine will have
crossed that hight and the locomotives shriil whs-
tie will awaken the echoes amidst the Ataeama noun
tains at an elevation of ,400 to 500 feet higher
than in any other part of the world.

From the Marshall Harrison county, Texas) Flag,
OF the lst inst, extract the following interesting
item Of intelligence respecting the progress of the
Southern Pacific Railroad. 1t will be seen that the
new company has certainly done something, and we
have no information that anybody or bodies have
been deluded or swindled in the doing of it,
We omitted to note in our last issue the completion
of the additional five miles of the Southern Pacific
Railroad. This work has been done by the new com.
pany, who were the purchasers at the saiOn the Ist
Of June last. The track is now within two miles of
Marshall, and there is iron enough on hand for half
mile more Notice Of the completion Of twenty-five
miles has been forwarded to the Executive Of the
State, who will doubtless send an engineer to exam
inc and receive the section, when the company will
be entitled to 25G000 acres OF land. These lands
have already been located and upon the reception Of
the section OF twenty-five miles patents will be
issued from the General Land Office. We take the
liberty Of suggesting to our merchants the import
anCe and profit of being prepared to purchase cot
ton and supply goods to more Western counties. If
this preparation were made, most Of the cotton
which passes through Marshall would be taken to
navigation, for tGfe by railroad, and the back
country supplied with goods by the city Of Marshall
The Flag is full of articles discussing the merits
and dement's of the two sides of this railroad i'm
broglio. Dr. Fowlkes, President of the old company
is in Marshall, endeavoring to effect compromise of
the existing difficulties. Whether he will succeed or
not, we are unable to say as the controversy has
been protracted and occasionally very bitter. We
should like to see the differences honorably and ami
ca5ly arranged-the bona fde stockholders secured
in their rghtsand the great work progress with all
due and proper speed. In this the country at large,
and the Southwestern States in particular, have a
deep and absorbing interest but it is futile to expect
good results as long two antagonistic organiza-
tons are struggling, the to retain and the other
to obtain possession of the same object. And if
something is not done probably the charter will be
declared forfeited, and thus the whole affair fall to
the ground,

The CaddO Gazette, Of the 9th inst, has the fol.

The last few days give unmistakable evidence of a
most agreeable change. Cool bracing winds prevail.
rendering thick clothing necessary and fires in the
morning decidedly comfortable. Fock5 of brant

The river is falling slowly at this point. We can
not predict with any degree OF certainty when it will
rise again. The bottom OF the channel is exposed in
many places, and sand bars, which were before un-
known, are now visible. The steamboat captains re.
port great changes in the channel since the low
of 1855.
