Mr.. EDITOR Il observe from the Con.
gressional proceedings that is in eontem.
plation to change the Pacific Mail Route
from Missouri through Iowa. Several
routes are being discussed, and among
others that through Dubuque. Sioux City,
Fort Laramie and the South Pass. By
changing it to this route more than five
hundred miles Of land travel will be saved
This proposition is demonstrable by a
glance at map of the United States. As
| understand the mail comes to Chicago,
thence to Leavenworth, &c. The latter
point is at least three hundred miles South
OF the direct route for Chicago-via Dubu.
que, Sioux City, to Laramie. As a matter
OF course, if the mail goes that far South
out Of its natural route it must come back
again---making six hundred miles or near
ly so of extra travel 10 reach its passage
through the mountains-the South Pass
Is there any reason why this state of things
should exist any longer? 1t is to be re-
GREETED that our represen tative in Congress
has not given us early notice of the agita-
ton of this subject, so that full and fair
representation of the merits and advanta.
ges of this route might be fairly and fully
laid before Congress. AS it is several
hasty letters and memorials have been
sent to him, as also to Mr.. Colcax, Chair
man of the Committee on Post Offices
and Post Routes. 1t is exceedingly deeir-
able that the citizens of this place, and
also along the whole route, should take
early and efficient measures to present
this subject in its true light to Congress.
The distance from Chicago to Sioux City
is about five bundled miles, thence to Fort
Laramie three hundred and fifty miles
making in all eight hundred and fifty miles.
Government contractors compute the dis
tance from Furt Leavenworth to Fort Lar.
ania at eiaht hunisad- d-n,las--Haneat thu
mail will be as near the latter point at
Chicago as at Leavenworth or nearly so =,
while by this route three hundred miles
will be by railroad.
/ will revert to this subject again. In
the meantime hope our people will wake
up to the Importance Of this measure 1t
is almost a moral certainty that where this
Pacific Mail Route is established there
will be constructed the grand trunk of the
Pacific Railroad. ION.

line Of stages to and from Marysville and Ne
vadA He reduces tho fare to three dollars, one
half the old price on the California Stages. As
usual, the old company has put the fare down
to one dollar to run McCue of.
, One great draw back to this section of the
State is the high stage fare every body has been
compelled to pay to get to and from it. We
venture to say NO county in the State has
paid 90 much to the California Stage Company
rs Nevada. The fare to Sacramento has almost
always been MS high as ten dollars. Occasion
ally it has been reduced to eight, but when no
fears Of al opposition were entertained the old
company always charged as much as they dared
TO, and their tencrity is great. While in other
parts Of the State the public can travel for
from two to four cents q mile, we have been
compelled to pay fifteen and sometimes more.
Individuals we'll posted in stage affairs tell us
money can be made in carrying passengers
from this city to Sacramento at FIVE dollars a
head. and to Marysvillo fer three dollars. Mr.
AcCue is trying the experiment and it is worth
the attention Of ever citizen of the county tC
soc that he is pstronized as his enterprizc de
serSos. He proposes to save the people ont
half their money, which in these times is worti
saving. We should cay that no person wh'
