s@- The Pacific Railroad Company of
Missouri las advertised for proposals for the
gradir and masonry on nearly or quite all
OF the route from the present terminus, near
Tipion, to Kansas City. From this, it would
seem that the directors are satisfied that the
means will be in some way provided to con-
struct the balance of the road.

eAs The contest in Maryland between
Col Hughes, Democrat, and Mr.. Hayner,
Opposition, is peculiarly bitter. At recent
discussion, in Prince Georges county, the
former gave the latter the lie, and received,
in return, blow. Hughes it is said, has
challenged his opponent. Wehope, however,
it may result rs most of the Virginia chal-
lenges.

that the Governor, Hon. ]. E. MCDONALD,
and D. w. VOORHEES,, have left for Charles
town to attend his trial. The Sentinel is
extremely fearful that some one will mis-
construe the Governors motives, and ac-
cordingly enters into labored defense OF
his course. No one, we apprehend, will
censure the Governor, and the Sentinel, by
its uncalled-for defense, only manifests what
its course would have been had Cook proved
to be relation of leading Republican,
instead of Gov. Willard
