Progress OF the Pacific RaiiWay.

Dispatches from san Francisco give
encouraging accounts OF the progress and
prospects OF the western end of the Great
Pacific Railroad. 1t will be remember
ed that Congress granted TO tie two
principal companies-the mon Pacific
and the Central Paciiic-thc right 10
build their respective lines from opposite
ends until they meet and connect. The
former having nearly crossed the level
plains Of Nebraska, is rapidly approach
inc the outlying hills OF the Rocky Mount
ain range while the latter, it appears,
is making equally gratifying headway
During this month it * expected the last
and greatest of the tunnels on the west
ern link will be opened. and The crossing
of the dreaded Sierra Nevada Mount
aims be regularly made by the locomotive
into the Great Salt Lake Basin. This
achievement of hewing and blasting a
pathway through primeval granite bar
riers, although all included within $50
miles, is equivalent to more than 600
miles of ordinary railroad, in cost and
resistance overcome. Upwards of S20,-
100000 have been expended in the en-
terprise. which includes, however, the
equipment and materials for l50 miles
additional. Eastward of the graded por
ton the line has been surveyed and To-
Gated for 600 miles, developing an easy
and favorable route, and it is believed
that fully half of the distance between
the Pacific Coast and the Missouri Riv-
er will be built by the Central Pacific
Company, as they are favored by having
the hardest work done, and by the pres
ence of large numbers of cheap and serv-
iceable Chinese laborers. 1t is assuring
to be informed, also, that the business
of the road is very large, the earnings
for July being SIP, 200 in gold while
the operating expenses were less than
$4,000.
The Company receives large subsidy
from the Government, and in order TO
push on the work with even greater en-
ergy, are offering their First Mortgage
Bonds for sale, through Fisk & Hatch,
their Financial Agents in New York,
and our leading Bankers, at rates very
tempting to capitalists. The merits and
of the Central Pacific Rail-
road Bonds are fully set forth in our ad-
vertising columns

Oar State Election.

In less than two weeks-Tuesiav.
September the 3d-will occur our state
election. In Vermont. for many wears.
there has hardly been political contest
Onr people are 50 thoroughly imbucd
with patriotism, that during the war,
the opposition to the republican party
was feeble indeed The leaders nominal
~ maintained their party organization,
yet with very little strength with the
people.
Since active military operations for
SURPRISING the rebellion ceased, the
leaders of the opposition have taken
courage, through the detection of presi-
dent Johnson. and oppose the measures
inaugurated by congress to bring about a
peaceful reorganization of the rebellious
states upon loyal basis, and their early
reunion with the northern states John
son leads the still rcbcllious leaders of the
south, and encourages them to resist q
peaceful restoration upon the plan laid
down by congress. The democratic
party of this state, il they have any po-
litical principles at all, are in harmony
with those Of the president. The republi-
cans sustain congress. Whatever of OPP
position exists is simply antagonistic to
the measures of congress for finishing the
rebellion. There are but two parties in
the country. The republicans, those who
fought the rebellion, now united with
loyal men of the south, are on the one
side. The opposition, with Johnson,
and many OF the rebel leaders, constitute
the other party.
Encouraged by the detection of John
son the opposition party in Vermont are
preparing 20 do their best at our Sep
TENDER election. They will resort to
side issues, and almost any thing in order
TO give their party new signs of life.
The republicans of the state will discover
this on Tuesday, the third day of Sep
tembcr. They only need be at the poll.

We propose to the republicans that We

the Indians, after killing Lieut.. Jenness

succeeded in stampeding the cattle from

position behind 5reastwork formed of
wagons, boxes, OK yokes, &C., and the

Thurlow Weed says in the New York
Commercial Advertiser:
.We are not likely TO forget or I'M
dervalue the service rendered by Mr..
Stanton TO our Government in 1860.
He discovered in Buchanan's Cabinet a
conspiracy TO seize the archives, prevent
the inauguration of Mr.. Lincoln, and
usurp the Government. Thus far, Jake
Thompson, Cobb. Slidell, Mason, Ben
jamin, &c, &c, proceeded, with the CO.
operation of Toucey, when Mr.. Stanton,
with Governor Seward, wisely counter
mined to arrest the calamity. Judge
Holt was loyal. General Dix was
brought into the Cabinet. The intend
ed coup d'etat was barely prevented.
We saw, on that occasion. while Mr..
Lincoln WAS being SWORN, Generals Scott
and Wool standing by their guns, plant
ed in the vicinity of the Capitol, with
less than 4 thousand REGULAR troops for
It's defense. Floyd, the Secession Secre-

Mr.. Theophilus Drew of Danvile, in
his speech before the democratic conven-
ton at Lyndon last week, told his polit-
ical friends that he could not sanction the
position of the party against the prohibi-
tory liquor law, and in favor of "a good
license law" Mr.. Drew doubtless thinks
that if the free use of liquor works badly
its sale ought TO be restricted to necessary
purposes; but if well, everybody should
be allowed to traffic in it as in calico or
any goods otherwise, that ia license
law allowing few only to sell it, would
become simply a monopoly, granting
special privileges to the few to the detri-
ment of the many. If Mr.. d. entertains
these views it is clear he understands the
true democratic theory-no monopoly or
privileged class among men.
