CANAL ACROSS THE IsrHMUs CUsH-
Na's Mission. The treaty made by Gen.
Cushing with the Government of Colombia,
comedies to the United States the exclusive
right to construct an inter-oceanic canal
across the Isthmus of Darien, at any point
which may be selected by the United States.
The Colombian, Government cedes six miles
of land on, each side Of the canal-one-half
for its own benefit and the other for that
Of the party undertaking the construction of
the work. 5 The Colombian Government is
to receive ten per cent of the net income
for the first ten years, and after the canal is
paid for, twenty-five per cent. of the net
profits The treaty is to be ratified by the
United States within ten months, and the
surveys are to be made within two years
after the ratification. The canal is to be
begun within ave years, and finished within
fifteen years, after the ratification; otherwise
the charter fails. The charter runs for 100
years. The canal is to be under the control
OF the United States, and Congress can fix
the rate of tolls. The navigation is to be
open to all nations in time of peace, but
closed to belligerents who may seek to avail
themselves of its advantages. It is estimated
the canal will cost $100. .0OO.0 900. A compa-
ny was not long ago organized in f!!ow Io:aa,
under charter of that State, with Peter
Cooper as President. It is said, on distin-
guished authority, that this company has
the capital and is ready to commence the
work. Congress, however, is at liberty to
give the preference to this or to my other
private company, or the United States can
itself undertake the construction of the
canal.

SACRAMENTO, Cal, Sept. %, '69.
LeavingUintah, we follow around the
northern end of Great Salt Lake, first
passing through Ogden, which was
the proposed place Of junction Of the
Union and Central Pacific Railroads
by the last Congressional billupon the
subject. AS we passed over the Road
the officers Of the two companies were
in conference on the question Of the
junction, but had. as yet, failed to
agree upon the locality. After pass
ing Ogden, the train stopped at
Corinne, where was gratifed to meet
the JOURNAL old friend and CORE
spondent, Capt. Beadle. He looks
like he was enjoying Western life to
the fullest extent; and [ was pleased
to hear him so highly commended by
the citizens Of the Territory, the Nor
mons excepted. His caustic edito
rails are perfect terror to them, but
he Is very popular and highly appre-
eiated by the Gsntiles.
AT Promontory the junction is for the
present made with the Central Pacific,
and here complete change of cars is
made, including transfer of baggage
and mails. Owing to the unsettled
condition of the junction location no
permanent improvements have been
made by either Company atthis point,
and the accommodations are very mad
equate to the demands Of the travelling
public. One Of the noticeable features
here was that as soon as the train
arrives a number of gamblers bring
their cards and tables out immedi-
ately In front Of the cars, and in the
open day set to work to gull the
simple and unBary. The unanimous
judgment of all passengers is that it
is a disgrace to the Railroad Compa-
MES, or whichever of them has the
control of the grounds, and ought to
be stopped at once. Ii is the only
appearance of open and unblushing
gambling seen on the whole route,
and it should be terminated instanter.
as it can be.
We take our last view of Salt Lake
as the shades of night come on, and
during the night we came up out of
the Utah Basin over the mountain
ranges bordering the west and north
sides of Salt Lake, and when morning
dawned we were on the headwaters of
Humboldt River, down the valley of
which we were to travel the live-long
day and into the night, and weari-
some, monotonous days travel it was
too. We breakfasted at Elko, the
most thriving business place on the
line of the Pacific road east of Sacra-
mentO liz is the railroad station for
the celebrated White Pine mining
region. and is full of hustle. energy
and signs of mining life. Here We
saw, for the first time in large 0nanti-
ties, the magnificent fruits of CaIifor.

were approaching the Golden State
from Promontory west, we fold uD our
greenbacks and stick them away or
sell them to the brokers, for hence
forth we are in the land of gold and

..The Disappointed Neuro.n

MIR. EDITOR: On the 4th of June, the
anticipation of Governor Scott's visit to
Greenville, for the purpose of inaugural
ing the recently erected college, gave rise
among the colored sex to the expectation
of one of the grandest and sublimest
jubilees and feasts of the present day.
Even as far rs fifty miles around the
whole race was over-ioyed ut the idea of
such treat. However, on tho appoint
ed evening, the colored band, followed
by numberlcss crowds, approached the
depot, arrayed in all the grandeur of n
king. After impatiently waiting for
some moments, the train arrived-un-
fortunately. not having had the honor OF
bearing the Governors person. At this
news, the whole crowd was struck
speechless with disappointment. In a
few moments, ms the crowd dispersed,
among the many agonizing cries of the
multitude, was heard the oath and
damns of an aged uncle, who was shout.
ing aloud his much lamcnted loss. de.
claring that he was poor, hard working
negro, and that he had but one turkey in
the whole world, and to think that he
had pluclled her from the nest of four,
teen eggs, on which she had SO faithfully
sat for three long weeks, and prepared
her for the sole purpose of the Governor
himself; and he had so sorely disap.
pointed him. In this death-like horror,
he could only be calmed by the soothing
voice Of his dear wife, who, amid these
shouts, had Glanced to fall in his arms
telling him that, as Sunday was only one
day of, they would invite their good ole
pastor, and partake of the feast which
the Governor himself might have sc
easily enjoyed. S.

CLAIMS ON MEXICO 1t is stated that
American claims against Mexico, to the
amount of $50. 100000, will be presented
before the commission appointed to nd
just such claims. No doubt this amount
will be vastly reduced, yet q good many
millions are certain to be allowed, enough
unouestionnbly to be considered by the
Federal Government as authorizing q
demand on Mexico for the transfer of
any portion of her territory that may be
demanded. How many slices of Mexico
will the Government take? And from
what portions of her body will it carve
them? asks the Louisville Courier-Jou,'-
nal. Will it cut off a few rump-steaks,
OR be satisfied only with "the pound of
flesh nearest the hearth" General Rosen-
Acranz, our Minister to Mexico, proposed
l late communication to the Govern
bent Mt Washington that we should ne
gotiate with Mexico for couple of her
States, paying her few millions in gold,
which she greatly needed. The worthy
old General didn't seem to know how
easily we could take whatever of Mexico
we might want without the trouble sof
raising the gold. The General is on old
fogy.
