Tie progress Of the extension of the Pacific Railroad
ia also to be regarded Of tue greatest feas OF the
Kind on record The country from Holden to Indepen-
deuce is comparatively depopnlated. and joined to the
National difficulties several others of an extraordi
nary character. The section where the work is now in
progress has been infested by greras ever since the
battle Of BoonyIe and it is only since the surrenders
at Lexington that ordinary degree Of quiet has been
restored. Before Prices invasion the Company had
raised one million dollars on first mortgage bonds. ana
were actively extending the road. Price destroyed
bridges and other property and cut of the revenue oil
the road 30 long that the aggregate damage amounted
to two and haf millions. Now the Company have
gone to worx again. and although protected by two
thousand soldiers, they have lost large amounts OF
property already by raids Of guerrllas. The work Is
steadily progressing and there Is excellent prospect
that the Whole road Will lie finished during the present
year.

The impression prevails very extensively that II the
Constitution is rejected by the people that the pro-
Slavery fanatics may attempt TO get aside the ordinance
OF emancipation. They could easily find judicial tools
TO countenance such outrage. Tho adoption OF the
Constitution win forever settle these questions and
is very significant that every Rebel sympatbizer in
the State Is arrayed against the measure. Our two
Radical Senator's all the Radical Congressrnen the
Radical State Central Committee. and the Radical
County Committee have all endorsed the new Constitu
ton and Gov. Fletcher has not actively opposed the
MEASURE although he will vote against it. The adop
ton Of the Constitution Will be literally deathblow to
treason In this State.
