From the ottumwa Courier,
Col. Curtis and the Pacific Rail.


The following extract is from privats
letter written to gentleman in this city, by
Mr. Wilson, formerly u. 5. Land Commits
sioner under Fillmore, and late Land Com
missioner of the Illinois Central Railroad.-
For the last two sessions of Congress be has
been ~ Washington on railroad business,
aud is perfectly familiar with the course of
Col. Curtis. Coming from such source, il
is indeed q compliment.
CHICAGO, Oct. l6, 1860.
DEAR Sra: The great Pacific Road, to
which you refer, presume, will be consid-
cred and probably disposed OF by Congress
this winter. This road, and the Pacific Rail-
road OF Texas, as YOU are aware, have en-
gagged much Of the attention OF all the lead
ing men OF all parties in our country; and
no subject 10 regarded with more anxious
consideration, ana none is more worthy Of
il. If they should be constructed the effect,
in my opinion, will be TO make the valley OF
the Mississippi and the Gulf of Mexico the
great central points OF the trade of the whole
world, and to build op on the Mississippi and
the Gulf great commercial marts that will
monopoliz, and control the greater portion,
IL not the whole of that trade. In fact. bv
these means, and the adoption OF Just and
iudicious tariff, the steady flow of specie from
our country, which has enriched the msr :
chant princes OF Europe, will at once be
oh COX ed, and not only retained here, but the
tide of precious IN etals, which has 80 long
flowed from US, will be turned, and this ele.
ment OF prosperity, by which other nations
have been so long favored, will be enjoyed
by us. Bat it 10 useless for me TO enlarge
on this subject, as, presume, you have been
thoroughly posted on il by your very able
representative, Col. Curtis, who is chairman
OF that committee. By the way, your citi-
Gems we're most fortunate, and evineed their
good judgment, in selecting Col. Curtis al
their representative. / have seldom net with
gentleman who s, speedily and thoroughly
secures the friendship and rssnect Of all vho
| come in contact with him. His courtesy and
urbanity, combined with real dignity, com
mand the esteem and respect of all I; and the
vast fund OF information he has collected on
/ the subject COMMITTEES to his charge, which
he knows perfectly we'll how 10 use to the
best advantage, added to his purity OF char.
aoter and extraordinary abilities, give him
an influence and control rarely acquired BY
1 new members. | not at all posted In
your local politics bat certainly hope, for
tie benefit of the nation at large-of the
growing West-ani especially OF your own
State--that bis constituents will long DON.
tinue him in his pi esent position, which be
has so eminently eraeed, and the duties OF
which he has discharged with 80 much dig
nity and ability. Sincerely yours,
