81 a dispatch from Omaha says that the
Union Pacific Railroad now reaches six hun
dred miles west OF. that place, and is in run
ming order to u point fifty miles beyond the
highest ridge of the Rocky Mountains. The
rapid construction of this railroad is one of
the most marvellous feats in the chronicles
of engineering. Nothing ike it in " rail:
roading" was ever before accomplished.
Sixty miles of track have been completed
since the Spring opened, and at this rate
nearly four hundred miles will have been
laid down before, the end of the year, and
the great turnpike between the Atlantic and
Pacific opened for travel next year, instead
of in 1870, as promised, The enterprise
and ability off a railroad management which
has thus done more, than the stint scientific
theory. set for it, cannot be, questioned, and
it is not surprising to learn that, even with
an uncompleted track, the Union Pacific
Railroad is paying handsomely. The great
interests which are eagerly waiting for RAIL
road, connection between New York and
San francisco may well be, satisfied with
what these performances promise,-N u

We have long been Of the opinion that
Gen. Grant was a great man--too great to
be. suspected of any want of justice or hon
esly. But it seems we have been mistaken
and that the American people have placed a
false estimate on his character The Sentinel
says: s We have ceased to expect Gen.
Grant to act upon principles of high honor
and sound justice" Doubtless after this
blast from the rebel organ of North-C Carolina,
Gen. Grant will retire promptly from the
Presidential contest. =r d. yia. 2.

Sufficient evidence can be obtained for the
conviction of some of the r. X. X. in one of
the Counties where they have been guilty of
their greatest outrages. In the County re-
ferred to, they electioneered for the Rebel
Conservative ticket by placing coffins before
the doors of loyal white men, whom they
had oppressed during the rebellion for their
loyalty, and whom they now attempt to keep
from the ballot box with threats of death.

on topics of interest, and left on the minds
of his visitors u deeper impression than ever
of the. greatness of his intellect, the sim

his motives. Telegrams came pouring in on
