MAIL ROUTE.
O.. rforday next, the first great public
benefit from the Union Pacific Railroad will
be realized the first evidence ofIts incalcu-
liable importance to the whole country prac.
tically placed before the people. On that \
day the route of the Great California Over
land Mail between New York and San Ffan- |
cisco will be changed 60 as to 50 by way Of \
Chicago instead Of st. Louis, attaining at |
once 4 saving Of about fo0r days in Its tran |
sit from New Toria across the North Fork Of !
The Platte River. 10 effect this the routes
selected for It's carriage will be ria Allentown
and Pittsburgh II this city from here, by
way Of the Cedar Rapids and Clinton
line Of the northwestern Railroad, to
Noodbine, thence by stage to Council Bluffs.
| crossing the Missouri River there to Omaha,
| and taking the Union Pacific Railroad to its

railroad communication in this line is the

1 transit of the California mail, this
new arrangement will be productive of
great direct advantage to our city,
in t';e establishment Of direct through
trnin from here clear across the State Of

time, the train which left Chicago In the

tlan Cedar Rapids. lying over there for the
evening train to oyertakc it and 60 on to the
end of the line. This has thrown the morn
ing papers and mails twelve hours late, to
the great Inconvenience of people at both
ends Of the line. By the change about to be
iuauguratcd however, through morning
tInin will be necessitated, to accommodate
the California mail. It will leave here ut
