the Missouri Pacific at the mouth of Kansas

We hear that its completion to this point Will
save the Government One Million OF Dollars

when the whole is completed.
New blood has lately been Infused into TINS

traffic therefrom; 100000 was put in by
them "a a first installment. We hope soon TO
hear that the obstacles which have hitherto
preyented the payment to this enterprise OF the
subsidy stipulated by act Of Congress have boon
happily removed, and that the work Is hence
forth to be pushed forward with ample means
and resolute energy. Let US once get our
Currency back to rock-bottom. and we shall

The Epening Post, in the course OF q generally
excellent article on Emigration TO the South,
says:
Fortunately for the Bouihern States. as Mr. DeBow
remarks. aud as We have frequently shown the period

We assure The Post that this statement is
essentially mistaken and unjust.
True. there is less fertile land unoccupied in
the West to day than there was sixty years ago;
vet there are still immense bodies of it-hund-
reds Of millions Of acres, as inviting as any
wherein the sun over shone. The Federal
Government has still many millions Of acres
that it comedies to settlers on the payment OF
ten cents per acre $40 per quarter section) to
pay the cost ofsurvey and sale only. Then the
States have largo areas granted by Con
rress In aid Of Agricultural and Mechan.
zeal Colleges, which can DO bought
in fee simple for 81 per acre. Then there have
been millions of acres more granted in aid Of
Railroads and other internal improvements,
which are held higher; but which are really
cheaper than those lower priced. Even those
Of the Illinois Central being immensely en-.
HANGED in value By the construction Of that
noble work, are really cheaper than Ohio lands
would have been fifty years ago if absolutely
given away. And then there are thousands on
thousands ofindivdual holders who, pressed By
debt and taxation, would gladly UNLOAD" on
almost any terms. All these are many miles
this side of the sterile desertor "Plains;" while
there is some very good land along the eastern
base of the Rocky Mountains beyond "the
Plains" r.
Nor is 1t true that the new lands now for sale
are $50 distant from market" The Genosee
Valley in our State was in good part paid for
with Wheat grown thereon at an average of not
more than fifty cents per bushel. That Valley was
practically fartherfromN ew-Eng land-muchfar.

Minnesota or Kansas now is. and reached with
far greater difficulty. The farmers Of Mime.

the Far West finds great markets for its produce
rapidly expanding in the mines of Colorado,
Montana and Idaho. Give us the Pacific Rail
road to Denver, and they will.send up ten dol
lars worth where they now do one, and receive
their pay in gold. We heartily approve all Of
forts to fill the South with new industrial life
but the West is still inviting, and protein
happy homes 10 many millions more of honest
workers. The West never presented greater at
fractions to immigrants than she does to-day

The Pope has again pronounced all allocution
which is making some stir in Europe. This
time be warns the faithful against the Free
Masons, reminding them that several of his
predecessors have prescribed and reproyed that
sect, the entrance into which they declared
should entail communicates, which the Pope
alone could remove. The Pope denounees the
Free Masons as the instigators Of revolutions,
and calls on the secular governments to sup.
