The UNION PACIFIC RAILRoAD.-This
great work proceeds with n regularity
which shows admirable organization in
the engineer department and remarkable
success in keeping up the progress Of
the labor. Seven hundred miles Of the
road are now laid, and neither heat nor
cold seems to stop the progress of the
track layers. 1t is expected thnt by the
beginning Of next year two hundred
miles more Of road will be laid down.
Two hundred more, which will un-
doubtedly be finished about the begin
ming Of June, 1869, will take the rails
through to the point where the Central
Pacific Railroad is expected to meet the
Union. If the Central is as expeditions
as the Union, tho rails will meet before
the 18th of July, and then there will in
deed be occasion for a great national
celebration. At all events, unless some
accident not now expected intervenes to
create delay, the whole road will be in
running order before the beginning Of
1870. II is q most important means OF
wealth to the country. It will open the
whole continent as q highway Of travel
for the world. But even without this
expectation, the advantages Of the road
to our country would be sufficient to
make it pay. The great mineral region
trsversed by this road will furnish it
with business in the transportation Of
treasure and supplies. The thousands
who will settle along the line Of the
road will add to its business, so that rs
q mere national road it would be pro-
ductiye.
