THE PAcIFIc RA1LRoAD--Six hundred and sixty
miles of the Union Pabc railroad are completed
and trains regularly pass from Omaha to the Rocky
Mountains, leaving but comparatively small part of
the road to be built. By the end ofhe year the Salt
Lake territory will be reached and the Mormons have
great commercial advantages of the enterprise though
we doubt if Brigham Young understands its effects
upon polygamy. The Mormons established their pow
in the DESERT and their progress to the perfect
isolation of their community. We hold it not the
least of the benefits Of the Union Pacific road that it
will bring civilisation in direct contact with Mormon
barbarsm and thus hasten the downfall of that nfa-
nous system. 1t is now almost certain that the road
to the Pacific will be finished in 1869. Seventeen
million dollars of the first mortgage six per cent gold
bonds have already been taken and the sales are con-
stantly increasing.
