All persons interested in the future of our State
must rejoice TO the successive starting of these
overland enterprises. Nothing can so quickly open
the land routes as the regular running of mail and
passenger stages. The bounty paid by the Govern

The day of It's initiation is destined to form an epoch
for California. The work will go on, and VIII be
mighty for good. The summit Of the Sierra Nevaia
and the shore Of the Pacific WILL in few weeks throb

Soon Salt Lake City VIII be united TO Us oy tc same
bond annihilatng time aud distance. And then we

as We hope, New-lork and London have been ma e
one by inc submarine wire, which VIII not only tie
them together, but as vein through which the
Efe-bloCd Of each shah pour into the heart OF the
other. Then We, too hall share N The blessings o'
the great enterprise Not long can we remain be-
yond the reach Of the central wires. We shall be
ioined not to New-York only, but to London to the
Temotest East. Welcome the day.
