Railroads West OF the Missouri.

THE progress of railroad enterprises west of the
Missouri is very gratifying, and is an indication
of the importance which that section of the
country is so rapidly assuming.
The Union Pacific Railroad Company, Eastern
Division, have their road completed now to the
neIehborhood of Tort Riley, Kansas, there being
unbroken railroad communication to that point
from the Eastern seaboard, with the exception
of the ferriage over the Mississippi river al ST.
Louis. Owing to the progress of this road, the
eastern terminus of the great Santa Fe mail
route has been transferred from the Missouri
river at Kansas City to the western terminus of
the Union Pacific Railroad, Eastern Division
This will shorten the time between the States
and New Mexico by one day. 1t is also anticl-
pated that after this season the Santa Fe trans
will no longer come to the Missouri river, but
viii receive their goods from the terminus of
the railroad, until in its progress it reaches that
point in its route nearest to New Mexico
A road has just been completed from Kansas
City to Leavenworth along the west bank of the
Missouri river, and connecting at the former
place with the Missouri Pacific Railroad The
Missouri Pacific has leased this road, and is
now running through trains from St. Louis to
Leayenworth.
The Union Pacific Railroad, running west
from omaha, has just completed an additional
section OF Its road, making one hundred and
twenty-five miles now completed and In opera.

On the California side the Pacific Railroad is
being pushed vigorously, and is now in opera.
tion considerably west of Sacramento. Tins
from both sides the great enterprise of SPANNING
the continent progresses apace. Mean while the
mineral developments of the great mountain
ranges of the interior are revealing new riches
and calling thither new legions of hardy pioneers

business that will be thrown upon it.

ABoMINABLE CRUELTY.-An official inquiry is
gong on as to the treatment OF the sick in the
SranC Union lnhrmary in London and some
terrible facts are revealed. The wards are too
small for the sick, and twenty-five of them are
attended by one paid nurse and a number of
paupers, many OF whom cannot read, who steal
Inc peer and wine allowed, sell the children's
milk, and leave patients with bed sores unmoyei
Tor weeks. One woman stole gin from a dying
man under pretense of turning him to attend to
ms sores, and the guardians threatened to
reuuce lhe DOCTORS salary because he COM
planned OF overcrowding.
A SPBNDTHRIFT DUKE.--The Duke of Hamil.
ton, according to the English papers. is a reck-
less person. He lately bought COW Tor which
ne paid $l2, 500, ana at the last Derby he 'laid'
GlS0,0O0 (S900,000 to 10000 against t'Hermip,-
but this latter was subsequently cancelled.
Still later he struck man in night braWl and
was therefore "Wanted' by the police but went
OH 10 Paris to see the race for the ''grand prix,"
ana so escaped arrest. This history is recon-
mended to The sensation poyelsts by the
''tlaneur' OF the London 1 .lr as furnishing
material for startling story.
To MAKE AN EGG STAND ON ENp,-A curious
discussion on this subject started NV an EngIisb
vicar, is going through the Manchester papers
One writer says, Columbus need not have broken
his egg, Tor that article can be made to stand
thus:-"Take an egg ana shake il IN the hand

The GREAT EXPOSITION. - Despite the threatened
continuation of the Germanic war, the great
Paris Exposition is to come off in June, 1867 at
the appointed time. We are glad to see that
Congress has at last passed an appropriation for
the proper display of American contributions.
If The people OF our land will but enter into
display with spirit, we will have grand oppor-
tunity OF Ourvallng the nations OF Europe.
We hope that there will not only be a competi-
ton among the various nations assembled, but
that we will have competition among the States
of the Union, so that the display of America will
be unprecedented. Either let us surpass our oppo,
nents, or let us decline to take any part in the
affair. But if we, as a nation, appropriate
money ana take nominally active part, and
then are but leebly represented, it will be dis
graceful to our native genius and national pride

DEATH OF BARNwELL RHETr.-Un1er the head
of assassination, we are told that R. BARNwELL
RHETT, Of South Carolina, was shot q few days
since by a negro who had sworn an eternal
vengeance against the family. RHETr was a
coadjutator of PRESTON BROOKS, and warm
friend of that hero. He served in Congress for
several terms previous to the war, and was
noted as the most virulent of all the Palmetto
State ire-eaters. His name was SMITH, but in
order to inherit large estate he took his
uncle's name, and received his property. He
was man of no mean ability, but since the
commencement of the war he has engaged but
little in the politics of the day. What might
have been his course Is unknown, but Judging
from his speeches in the ante-war day., he would
rather have retarded than assisted legislation.

AID FOR THE PORTLAND SUFFERERs.-The
terrible calamity which has overtaken the citi-
zeIs of Portland, Maine, in the almost total
destruction of their beautiful city by fire, calls
loudly upon the sympathies of the benevolent
in all parts of the country. We are glad to see
that prompt assistance is being rendered to the
sufferers from various cities, and we trust that
our own citizens will not be behindhand in so
good and necessary work.

M1LrraRY.-D. E. Gordon, Mastering officer,
has been engaged in the performance of the du-
ties assigned By the Commanding officer of the
Filth Brigade, during the past week. The Shas-
"a Company was mustered into the National
Goard on the 18th. The muster roll of the new
organization numbers GO men of the right mate
rial for an excellent. Company when officers are
chosen and the organization in perfect working
order. The citizens of Shasta have manifested
Incoming interest in the matter. The roll con-
tains the names Of many prominent citizens and

the ..yeteran "a Hopping as Captain and careful
" selected subordinate officers, together with

Lieut.. Sam B. Grover clever gentleman and
wde-awake officer, commanded the Company in
the absence of Capt. Hopping. The Truman
Head Rifles comprised so men, all well skilled
in the use of arms, and ready to take fighting
" chance - at the first opportunity. 1t is but
justice to the French Gulch boys to say that the
arms, clothing and State property had been kept
in most neat and creditable condition, and ev-
cry thing was turned over in frst-rate order
There is strong feeling in favor of an indepen-
dent military organization there, which we hope
will prevail.
The Douglas City Company, y,-Capt. Kelton,-
was mustered out on the 22d. There were some
mad boys present on the occasion, and we don t
blame them. Trinity has been shabbily treated

State property in the hands of the Company was
delivered up in good condition, and accompanied

The Halleck Rifles will be mustered out this
Saturday evening, at O'Clock. Members will
have their guns and uniform on hand at that

he agreed to pay the Society in June, but that

the Society that they did wait until it was known

sad lack of interest the part of the people Of
both Districts in connection with the most i'm

the absence of nominations by the people of the

A. G.. Price, the present incumbent in the Sd
District, have accordingly been nominated, both
gentlemen accepting 1t is hoped that the Union
voters of both Districts will now bestir them
selves in behalf of their respective candidates
Mr.. Fitch is one of the most upright, responsible
men living in the upper District, and if elected,
(as We have every reason to hope and believe he
wilD will make good officer. It's the first timea
Supervisor has ever been taken from that section
of the county, and we trust that voters in the
other precincts of the District will give him
cordisl support. Major Price, the candidate in
the l6wer District, has filled the place for the
past three years, and has therefore become
tirely familiar with the duties of the position. -
We trust 20 see Union men in that District rally

to believe will, in the performance of his du-
ties, study the best interests of bis constituents
and the county at large.
In connection with the approaching election,
we desire 20 call the attention Of Boards of Reg
istration and voters to that portion of the Reg

reasons satisfactory to the Board of Registration,
