There are now before the Senate,
lying on the table or referred to the
Pacific Railroad or Public Land Com
mittees, one hundred9andt ten bills and
resolutions, asking aid for the new
Pacific routes or connecting lines in
Territories and Pacific States. Nine
Of the bills were offered at the first ses-
sion Of the present Congress, fifty-two
at the second, and four at the present
one. Twenty of them are now pend
ing before the committees, and nearly
as many more have been reported back
favOrably, amended and unamended.
In the House there are one hundred
and twelve pending. Eighteen of
them are before the Committee on Pa

the Land COmmitte. It is impOssibIet to
accurately estimate the aggregate of
acres of land and the amount of bonds
asked in aid of these projects. An
approximate statement, carefully pre-

Dear Madam:-I have been shown in

loss so overwhelming. But l cannot re-
frain from rendering to you the consola-
ton that may be found i'll the thanks Of
the Republic they died 10 save.-I pray
that our Heavenly Father may assuage the

you only the cherished memory Of the
loved and lost. and the solemn pride that
must be yours to have land so costly sac
rice OH the altar of freedom.
Yours,

O., New York State, when the famous
song first appeared. am sorry to say our
church had the reputation OF being cop

lon of very few, who by contrast seemed
the staunchest kind of Union men. One of
these, Col. J. L. L., who never could
get enough of the new song, came across
me one Saturday afternoon, and slappins
me on the shoulder said: 'fll give you
five hundred dollars if you'll sing the Bat

great an offer to be declined, AS l knew he
was not only abundantly able, but just the

was no use; the thing WAS done, and
couldn't be undone, and the Union cause
received new and VIC orous impulse-and

Mr.. I. P. Stevenson, of Philadelphia,
sends US circular containing q call for a
State Convention Of citizens Of Iowa, to be
held at Oskaloosa on the 9Th day of Octo-
Der, to consider the proposed Religious
Amendment to the National Constitution,
whereby that instrument shall be made to
contain an explicit acknowledgment Of al
mighty God and the Christian religion, and
to form State National Reform Associa-
ton, the object Of which shall be to secure
the passing of said amendment. The call
is signed by over sixty ministers of all de-
nominations. The promoters Of the move
ment disclaim any desire to effect union
between church and state, or to seek any
thing which will give to any denomination
of Christians the slightest political advan-
tage over another. They wish merely to
place in the National Constitution that re-
cognition of the Deity and Of the Christian
religion due from every nation to the God
of N .tions.

POLITICAL ITEMS.

publican at the late election. The vote
was, Merrill 345, Gilaspy none. The bal
ance of the State ticket was the same.
At latest accounts from the Capital, the
Republican majority in Iowa had reached
$4,000, and returns yet to come in would
carry it up 10 at least 80. 900. The Legis-
lature will stand as follows: Senate, II
Republicans and s Democrats; House 50
Republicans aud Is Democrats.
The Legislature Of Virginia have elected
as United States Senators from that State,
John +. Lewis and John w. Johnston.
The first was member Of the Secession
Convention, but voted against and refused
to sign the ordinance of secession. He
was Union man man throughout the war
Johnston is a nephew OF the rebel Genera
Joseph E. Johnston, and was q rebel SYM
pathizer. His disabilities were removed ty
Congress some time since. He is elected
for the short term.
The Tennessee Legislature are balloting
for United States Senator, but as yet with
out result. The contest is between Andy

probability that the former will be vetoed.
