CONNECTION Of THE ATLANTIC AND Pacific
The Denver Ga-ette of january goth has got an
idea which, when developed into practical expert
ment promises, in its estimation, lively competi-
ton with the main line of the Pacific Railroad
1t ventilates its proposition follows:
The grand idea which occupied the attention of
the early explorers of the western continent was
continuous water line from the Atlantic to the Pa
cic, or South Sea. The Spanish adventurers, the
Jesuit explorers and the savants of the whole world
were conferred in this idea Marquette, Joliet Le-
Sale, even Lewis and Clark held that there was a
continuous water line, or system of navlgable wa
tiers, connecting the two oceans. Subsequent in
vestigation has proved that the water shed. from
which debouches the waters TO the east and west
of the Rocky Mountains cannot he snrmounted by
water crafts and has exploded the idea OF the
tinental Adventures. Though may acknowl-
edge this. vet the same idea may be carried out by
judicious amalgamation Of railroad and water
communication.
The opening of the Colorado river from its
mouth to its most northern or highest navigabe
point upon its tributaries. the Green and the Grand
will utersect the line of the Pacific Railroad be-
tween the forteth and forty-frst degree of north
latitude, thus opening vast area .of magnificent
country with an outlet to the Pacific ocean.
The beautiful valleys OF the Green, Grand, Uin-
tab, Iompah or Ear. and the Blue rivers of Color
ado will by this means find market for their rich
agricultural productions besides the enormous and
lncaculaOie mining resources OF the western por-
ton of Colorado. which recent discoveries have
proved is the richest gold, silver, copper and lead
regions of Colorado.
Already the Swansea mining companies are at
work by their agents on that portion of the Color
ado river already demonstrated as navigable, and
are shipping their copper around Cape Horn
to their smelling works. By this means, if it can
be demonstrated tina; the waters of the Green and
Grand are navigable, Denver will be within 200
miles of its wharves, and with branch of the Pa
citic Railroad running to her threshold; from the
east another railroad projected west and a few
months have elapsed will he under contract from
Denver up Clear creek to Central City. The most
an almost dead moral certainty must transpire viz:
A railroad over the mountains by the Bowlder or
Berthoud passes through the Park, to the point Of
intersection of these navgable waters.
Thus VIII be accomplished the grand idea of the
nineteenth century--the connection of the Atlantic
with the Pacific ocean-without the always danger
Gus action OF doubling the Cape.

AIRLINE RAILROAD TO THE PAcIFIc.-Elisha NJ.
Pease, Ex-Governor Of Texas, as Chairman; S. NJ.
Swevson, of Texas, Treasurer; l. c. Woods. of
New York. as Secretary, "and their associates, =
have organized themselves into IAN Association
for promoting the building of the Gulf and Pacific
Airline Railroad" They propose to apply to
Congress, at its present session, for charter to
build railroad from some point on the Matagorda
Bay State of Texas, running thence to the tow of
Ell Paso, in the same State, nearly on an air line
as the survey may prove practicable. Thence up
the valley of the Rio Grande for distance of fifty
miles or Whereabouts, to some point at near the
town of La Mesilla, New Mexico; thence to San
Diego, State of California, ria Fort Yuma as nearly
on an air line as practicable. Such line of rail
road as is argued, would form part of great sys-
tenn connecting all the projected railroads of Texas
which have for their objective points st. Louis,
Memphis Vicksburg. New Orleans, Galveston, Cor
pus Christi Bay, and the Republic of Mexico, thus
joining the best routes for commerce. passengers,
mails and treasure, a large portion of the I'm
ion. The airline distance from Matagorda Bay to

also rich in mines of silver and copper. Along this
route there were prior to the war, fifteen military
stations, which are supplied by present means of
transportation at great expense to the Government.
A railroad would, it is estimated, save the Govern
ment in the reduction of military posts aud the
cost of transportation, more than the interest, at
per cent. per annum on $50 600 ,000 besides putting
a stop to the enormous losses from the Indian
depredations and opening mp fine country to en-
igration, thereby increasing the national wealth
and adding to its revenues 1t is proposed to ask
from Congress the same amount of aid per mile as
already granted by that body to the Union Pacific
Railroad. Ex-Governor Hamilton and Judge Geo.
W. Paschal of Texas, attorneys of the Association,
are spending the winter in Washington, urging the
bill above outlined upon the attention of Congress
men. The proposed route is one pointed out by
nature as destined to furnish an important channel
