l take it, will, or ought to be the great CEN
tral route for q railroad to the Pacific Ocean
81 am not ignorant Of the fact that the
city Of Memphis, though standing ON or
near the S5th parallel of north latitude, has,
up to this time, manifested Il strange AMI
unaccountablc Indifference to the great adj
vantages Of this work.
=" The report of Whipple, and the explo-
rations Of Bealle and others, establish tho
superiority of this route over all others. It
is nearer, the character Of the country bet
ter, and is more abundaatly supplied with
wood and water than the extreme southern
route, which is understood to be the favorite
route OF portion of the people of Mem
phis. II
1t has always been a mystery to me
why the public press and leading men Of
your city should studiously ignore the rou...
on the Both parallel Of latitude and jealous
ly advocate the purely sectional route on the
32d parallel
sells will for the future control the leading
minds and public pSss of your city.
g But, sir, suppose the great national
railroad to the Pacific is not built upon or
near the 35th parallel of latitude, still the
city Of Memphis is deeply interested in the
extension of railroad to the western bor-
der Of Arkansas. This road will pass UP the
valley of the Arkansas river, through a le-
gion of great fertility and resources, and
destined at an early day 20 be continuous
cotton field to the Indian line and then
Immediately west Of us we have the fcrtil.
and productive country occupied by the
Cherokee, Choctaw and Creek Indians.
which country, when fully developed as it
must be at no distant day, will possass
wealth and resources second to no country
Of similar extent west Of the Mississippi.
90 a railroad, then, penetrating this re-
gion would pour millions Of wealth into
the lap of Memphis, and ought to enlist all
the energy and zeal of her people and
press.
"John King, Esq, of Fort Smith, Will
visit your city in few days. He is au-
thorised to confer with you on the subject

Railroad Consolidation---Be route
FOR the Great Pacific Railroad,

The proposition to consolidate the Mem
phis and Little Rock and Little Rock and
Fort Smith Railroads, seems 10 meet with
very general favor, and has at the same
time attracted attention to the advantages
possessed by that route as location for the
great southern railroad to the Pacific ocean,
the Mississippi terminus of which should
undoubtedly be formed at Memphis. We
have the pleasure in this connection, to lay
before our readers this morning letter from
Mr. Turner, the sagacious President of the
Little Rock and Fort Smith branch of the
Cairo and Fulton railroad, which letter was
addressed to John Robertson, Esq, Prcsi-
dent of the Memphis and Little Rock Rail-
road company. The letter is as follows:
"OrFIcE OF THE l.. r. & L. $. II. r. Co.,

road company, and the Little Rock and
Fort Smith railroad company, on such
terms as majority of the board Of direct
of each of said companies may agree upon.
This company, Ithlnk, wou'd be pleased to

Now thrust the thimble in its case,
And store the spools away,
And lay the muslin roll in place
My task is done o-day;
For, like the workman S evening bell.
A sound hath met my ears
The gate click by the street doth tell,
Papa has come. my dears.
Bear of the toy-b box from the floor,
For yonder chair make room,
And up and out unbar the door,
And breathe his welcome home;
For It's the twilight hour of Joy,
When homes best pleasure rally.
And will clasp my darling boy,
While papa romps with Allie.
There, take the hat and gloves, and bring
The slippers, warm and soft,
While bounds the babe, with laugh and spring
In those loved arms aloft
And let each nook some comfort yield.
Each heart with love be warm,
For him VIII Ose firm, strong hand shall shield
The household gods from harm
Our love shall light the gathering gloom,
For DER all eathly hope,
We cherish first the joys of home,
glad, rejoicing group;
And though the twilight hour Of joy,
We turn from joy, to daily
With thy young dreams of life. my boy,

WAsHINGToN, Nov. .

w WAsHINGToN, Nov. ~.
Nothing can be positively ascertaincl as
yet concerning the precise object of send
ing large bodies of troops to the Rio
Grande, further than the protection OF that
frontier from the attack of the forces Of
Cortinas, to utterly destroy which is tho
purpose of the Administration.
AS it was but recently supposed III oilic
ial quarters that the two companies from
Fort Clark and one from Baton Rouge
would be enough to check the movements
of that brigand, the augmentation Of the
troops just ordered has naturally excited
suspicious of other contemplated meas
ures.
Various speculations are indulgal ia.
but the most plausible theory. founded on
certain revelations deemed to be reliable, is
that Spain, France and England mcditato
prompt action for the satisfaction of claims
in which their subjects are interested, and
which may involve the national existence
Of Mexico, or the substitution of a Mon
archy under the protection of those powers.
In view of these circumstances and pro-
liabilities, the United States may feel con
strained to occupy the Northern part OF
Mexico to secure satisfaction for the claims
# our own citizens against that country, ss
for the security Of Americans on the f,on
tier.
From all that can be asccrtained, Il is
fair to presume that some of the vessels Of
the Home Squadron will soon proceed to
Vera Cruz and other ports of Mexico. In
deed this seems to be certain, so interesting
are the reported purposes of France, Spain
and England now regarded in official quar-
ters.
