THE PACIFIC RAILROAD.

Tho House committee on the Pacific Rail-
road, Of which Col. CuRrIs is Chairman,
have ngseed to report to the House the bill
drawn BY Col. c., so that the great enter
prise, 80 long talked Of. seems to be grad
nally approaching . practical commence.
ment. The provisions of the plan tesb
submitted to the House, are thus succinc,ly
summed up by contemporary: To build
but one road, commencing at two points
on the borders of the Western States; one
line proceeding from The western line OF a
Free, and another from the western line Of
n Slave State. e.. starting with two con-
vergin2 lines, one from Iowa and the other
from Missouri, and uniting within two hun.
drcd miles, thence proceeding by the nearest
and best route to the Bay Of San Francisco,
or to the navigable waters of the Sucra-
mento river. Lands equal to three sections
on each side are to be appropriated in alter.
nativc sections, and bonds are to be ad.
vanced as the work proceeds from each end
and growing larger as the work becomes
more expensive towards th" middle portion
OF the line. The bill is well guarded, and
provision is made to secure the reimburse
ment Of the bonds in Transportation SER
vices, at fair rates. The bond i sues are
limited to sixty millions, and the land is
the smallest amount ever appropriated TO
MD railroads in new States nnI Territories.
The entire length Of line thus required will
not exceed two thousand miles of railroad,
and If sixty millions will secure sufficient
means to build he road, it is considered rs
securing great amount of work for
small sum.

SPIRIT OF THE EXTREME OPPOSITION
Farson Bruwnlow, of the West Tennessee
Wing, who is in the habit of speaking free
y on any and all subjects in reference to
the attitude of the South Americans and
Democrats in Congress says:
We of course will not advise Southern
Opposition members what to do, be-
Ilevlng them competent to preserve their own
Self.respect and to discharge sworn duty
to their country and their constituents. But
were we member of the Southern Opposi.
tlon in Congress, before we would occupy
the paltry aud contemplate attitude Of
creeping after party that had spurned us
byits deliberate acts we would see the Capital
OF the nation, and all the territory north and
south Of it, sunk to eternal perdition. Nay,
we would see all the political organiza,
tons in America as far III hell as piOion
could fly in thousand years, or forge
hammer would fall in twice that length Of
time Sooner than thus degrade ourselves,
under pretense Of battling for the homes
and rights of our children, We would sec
them all starve to death, and then seat our.
selves upon their cc6ins WitA Southern
