speaking of the land restored TO market

R. R. farther south, he says:
Zone million and five hundred thou.
sand acres are now open for the settler

ing q restoration to market, for actual
settlers, of their lands.
That promise has been redeemed. The
records of the Land Office, at Washing

fully and Effectively ip As mattsr."
How bad so0rfriends in Saline couns
ty'' will feel when they find out that the
lands restored do not touch that county,
and how "faithfully and effecirehy"
'that promise has been redeemed" The
land restored lies West of the 100th
meridian, Saline county is East of that
meridian ; the restored tract lies South
of the south lice of town five, which line
makes The southern boundary of Saline
county! The lands granted to railroads
are usually Of those nearest to the road
bed the Kansas Pacific Railroad held
these lands while their survey located that
road On the Republican Fork in Nebras-
ka /; the company-nOt Morton-having
changed their route to the Smoky Hill
Fork, in Kansas, our lands had to be re-
linquished and other lands near the new
route chosen!

nec,iOns east and west. The Missouri
River Railroad is now completed to the
city Of Leavehworth. and the Atchison
Champion in speaking Of its prospective
extension to that cisy. says:
1--WE sincerely trust that this important
Railroad connection may be secured next
year. and If it Is, we hope to chronicle
in 1863, It's further extension through
DOniphan county, via Troy and White
Cloud, to Nebraska City,"
THIS road would certainly pass near to

The Nebraska City Press Of The 1st,
in noticing the return from Washington
city, of D. J. Mccain, says ii learn.
from him
"That the Directors Of the Council
Bluffs and State Line Railroad and the
Platte county railroad, held a meeting in
New York on The 18th of November
The iron for the former road has been
purchased and the road will be compleI-
ed to Nebraska City and the State Line
