INNS to-day, it will be seen that Presi-
dent LINCOLN has positively and definite
ly settled the important question Of the
location of the Eastern terminus OF the
Pacific Railroad. In order to make the
matter doubly sure, the President issues
another order fixing the point more def
initely... His order of November '6S, pro.
rided that the road should start FROM
some point on the Western border of
Iowa, inthe town&kip opposite Omaha but
in his order just issued, and dated on
the 7th of the present month, he states
that the road shall start from a point on
the western boundary of Iowa directly
opposite and east of the City of Omaha,
