KANSAS VALLEY AND PACIFIC RAILROAD


We publish to-day the act for the con.
struction of the Pacific Railroad, with its
various branches, as it finally passed both
Houses of Congress.
1t will be seen that the Kansas Branch
Of the Road, the only one likely to be com
commenced soon, is to be built by the
Leavenworth, Pawnee g. Western Railroad
Company, aud in accordance with its char
ter. Under its charter, the company must
build their road to Fort Riley (or Old
Pawnee, on the east side of the Reserva.
tion), and thence west the route is left to
the selection Of the company. By the bill
"hich We publish to-day, it will be seen
that the Kansas road must unite with the
Union Pacific road on the Tooth meridian
of longitude, and between the south verge
of the valley ofthe Republican and the north
ve.ge Of the valley of the Platte. This is a
more abrupt DETECTION of the road northwest
of this place than would have been preferred,
had it been left to the decision of Kansas
men, yet it nevertheless gives the company
the choice of two practicable and valuable
routes-that by way of the Republican
valley, and that by way Of the Solomon; ;
either Of which will open up to settlement
millions of acres of valuable and fertile
land. We have no hesitation in saying
that we should prefer to sec the Solomon
route adopted, not only on account of the
facilities which it would afford the Santa
Fe trade, but also on account of the Salt
Springs, and the beds of ccal and gypsum,
which the adoption would speedily develop
on the Solomon, Saline, the Smoky Hill,
and their various tributaries elements Of
wealth upon which Western Kansas must
rely in a large measure for future growth
aud prosperity, and which arc net found,
to the same extent, on the Republican, orl
at all on the Platte. But We do not pro-
pose, at this time, to discuss routes, but
simply to congratulate the people of the
entire State, and especially the people of
Central and Western portions of it on their
good fortune in securing the location Of this
most important thoroughfare along the val
lies of their own rivers. 1t places them At
once upon the great highway of nations,
over which must pass in . few years the
most valuable and important commerce of
the world. 1t insures the rapid settlement
'f the lands of the State, and holds out the
assurance that in very few years Kansas
will be traversed by a net work of roads,
in this one, and afording facilities
or trade and travel to all portions of the
State, aud in all directions. 1t il dificals

solid mass to within short distance of our

ranks was fearful, killing and vouudinp

their position. This battle took place about
one and half miles above Savage Station
Whilst this battle was in progress other
important events we're transpiring. The
railroad bridge across the Chickahominy
was burned, and . train of twelve cars,
under full head of steam, run overheard.
All the commissary and Quartermaster's
store unable to be moved were committed
to the flames, together with . large
amount Of ordnance stores. The large
houses at the station and adjoining
grounds, which we're filed with our sick

surgeons, with all the necessaries at hand
for their comfort. They numbered 700

''Ah there is where the sting Of evil will

yoii must tread the path alone. have for
given you, for I have your love. What he
will do, cannot tell"
The thought came again and again, to
check and mar Vivia's happiness. Wrong Is
double edged j: it hurts the doer as well IS the
sufferer. Allan was coming home on iurlough;
his first visit would be to Viva, and she
must go through the trial alone.
Lou, Guy, and Philip pitied indeed, but
they could not help. 1t was at this juncture
that | received the second pathetic out pour
ing. Some one had advised Vlvia to write
the truth to Allan, but she refused indignant
ly.
II think that, Mr.. Martial (she wrote to
me,) is the very most &C wardly and unfemi-
nine thing that woman can do. He has
right to hear it from my lips, and will
not spare myself the pain"
Allan came Vlvia met him at the door,
'fotoned back his caresses, Lut away his
roffered hand.
81 an not worthy Of it," she said swat
and hear me-"
And for the second time she went over the
miserable story.
Allan interrupted her by fierce exclama
ton, ground out between his teeth:
"If you were not woman-oh 4! that it
were only man that had done me such a
wrong that | might kill him p
Kill me, if you like" answer Viva, who
was wrought up to that pitch that she really
felt that she deserved, and would rather have
preferred such fate.
Allan turned on her with cold, sarcastic
smile.
"Kill you You are not worth it. will
despise You and all your sex that is the
are pretty play things, and can protest and
| promise fairly but honor and truth the,
know nothing about ; and the man who ex
pects it from them deserves what | hav,
received at your hands. Good morning, Miss
| Baracole."
Bitter are the fruits Of evil. VIVA is happy
IN having been loved by one man among ;
thousand man who not only could bu,
dared forgive. Yet Allan's words ring In hel
ears the thought Of him, with faith ant
love destroyed, haunts her. 1t was easj
enough to do the wrong; who shall undo it
Utter carclessness and weakness wrought the
harm i; whole lifetime of repentance may
never cfface it.

AFRAID OF THEIR RECORD,

The action of the majority in Congress, in
tabling the resolutions offered by Mr. Cox and
others, offered the first day of the session,
which we noticed last week, asking an nves-
t'gation of the arbitrary arrests made by the
present administration, shows that these COW
ardly AbOltionists are afraid to allow the
facts in these cases to be made public. They.
therefore, smother inquiry, and permit the
President and his Cabinet TO monopolize all
tie information as TO the question. But the
time is cnmicg when the dauining record will
be sprea1 before the world, and when the au-
thors of these outrages will become a kissing
and scorn throughout Chrstendon. if not
among even barbarians of the earth, 1t Is
not wonderful that the AbolItionlst desire TO
keep the record Of their acts from the light of
day as long as ther have the pow to de so
their cowardly nature prompts this course, for
with all their folly, they are wise enough to
know that a full disclosure of thelfacts might
endanger their personal safety among their
outraged and indignant fellow citizens.-Er
North Branch democrat. [volume] (Tunkhannock, Pa.) 1854-1867, 1862-12-17

mystery with which it has made arrests and
"ordered imprisonment"
But for the epidemic insanity of the time
under which the Post suffers severely, this
simple statement would be its own refutation
1t begs the question, or avoids it, of the righ,
or wrong of these imprsonments, and con
demns only an incident and accident of them
their privacy. Outraged law, the violated
rights of citizens, the disregard OF personal
llberties-all these are nothing to the Posi-.
But that they were done in pri rivate-that is
the error
Has the Post to learn that despotism al
ways walls itself? Light and publicity are
the guarantees of liberty and law. Secresy
and mystery the very indices of arbitrary
power.-WorlG.
