THE winter weather has not stopped the
work upon the Union Pacific Railroad, whose
advance during the winter months will be con-
slant, although. of course, less rapid than In
the better working days of summer and fall.
SO much will be done, however. that the spring
of 1870 will see the closing of the Intervening
distance between the Union Pacific and the
Central or California division. Meanwhile the
company gives ample security to the Govern
ment that the road will be thoroughly built and
equipped In accordance with law. The Presi-
dent has ordered the continued issue OF Gov.
eminent bonds upon the road as finished, the
recent special examining commission having
boIne decided testimony to the good character
Of the work. The first mortgage bonds of the
Union Pacific Railroad are for sale by De
Haven & Brol her. Philadelphia. at par and

some Interesting Information Relating
Thereto.

The following facts concerning the Michigan
University, from the Governors message, are OF
general INTEREST,"
The University Of Michigan conmeuced its
operations in l84l, ana although among the
youngest OF the great collegiate institutions of
America, has already attained to the drst rauk,
both at nome and abroad. IL Is State institu-
ton; its board of regents, under whose care and
control il is placed, are elected directly by the
people; it rs part OF the general educational
system of the state. Its catalogue presents a
list of thirty-hVe professors. Its present mum Der
OF students is 1889; in the department of science,
litera' ure, and The arts, 400; IN the department
OF medicine and surgery, $50; and in the depart
ment OF law, $50. For the last i've years it has
averaged more than thousand students. The
income of the university for Its last financial
year was $62, ,722'S2, derived from the folio wing
sources = Interest from the university fund,
$37, ,OS6'22; from students fees, $25, ,686. Al
though this is State institution. and has long
and Justly been the pride OF the people, 10 part
OF its endowment has been derived from the
State. Its tuLd is the proceeds from sales of
lands donated by the General Government, and

sold While the corps OF professors, BOTH in
number and ability, Will compare faVora0ly, an
the number of students is larger than 10 the
Oldest and most popular colleges of the land,
its endowment fund is very much smaller. The
annual receipts of the University from all
sources have been barely sufficient to meet the
current expenses managed, as they have been,
in the most careful ana economical manner. 1t
is doubtful at least, whe her the University can
continue to maintain its present high position
among the best institutions of learning IN the
lapj, without some additional provision tor
the Improvement OF the buildings, the steady
increase of it's brary, and tor an increase in
the number and salary of its professors,

Severe storm - Disasters to Sailing
Vessels.
FORTRESS MONROE, Jan. 1.-THE most severe
storm that has visited the coast for some months
set in yesterday afternoon from the northeast
and still continues with unabated violence.
The steamer Ellen s. Terry, Captain William
A. Chaplin, from Newbern, N. c., tor New York
came INTO the Roads at 10 o'clock this morning,
for harbor. She reports that in coming in the
Capes she saw two barques on the beach, about
two miles south of Cape Henry Light. One Of
them had all sails set, and looked as if she had
Just gone ashore. The other had her sails
cewed up, and was full of water, while the sea
was breaking over her deck. The ca otain could
not ascertain the names of the vessels nor any
particulars concerning them, and the sea was
running SO high that he could afford them no
assistance, Assistance from Norfolk will be
sent them as soon as the storm abates.
A light brig, which was bound for Norfolk,
ran aground in the Roads, on the flats, above
the Rip.raps, at noon to day. She is not in

The recent disturbance near KcmpvIl!e, Va,
between the negroes and the local authorities
which resulted in the loss of several lives, has
been eAectually quieted by the arrival of Com,

scene. They will probably remain there tor

and then return to Norfolk for time.

OF 9th United States Artillery has been ordered
TO report at Washington, aud will leave by

The Governor of Caudnamarca and his asso-

couragiug.
The Legislature of Santander has disapproyed
OF the contract for railroad across the Isthmus.
The Government continues its preparations for
war. The new President, Correoso, was inau-
gurated on the fret. The crops of Southern
Chill are not likely to turn out favorable. New
and extensive gold mines are reported at Santa
Rosa, causing great excitement. There is less
talk OF revelation in Peru.

rivers has been declared free to all flags. The

ANOTHER INDIAN WAR.-Our In
dian policy, as it is called, is showing
effects in Alaska already, The Rus
SLAMS as long as they owned and accu-
pied that country were at peace with
the aborigines the moment the more
difficulty and bloodshed occur. Both
our army and navy are involved in
the matter, and according to the late
dispatches, after some firing and kill
ing, a chief was captured. So we have
a new field for Indian wars, expensive
to the government and lucrative to the
white Indian ring. A dispatch says
good deal of bad feeling exists between
these Indians and the military. Their
villages are remote from the sea, and
men-of-war cannot get near enough to
she'll them. This latter fact can hard
ly be regretted, as it is most probable
that the bad feeling originates with
the antipathies of the military. 1t is
an abominable thought that we have
only extended our dominion to the
North Fole as means of butchering
the miserable people who have built
their huts around it for the last thous-
and years. Let Secretary Borie and
Secretary Rawlins look into the mat
ter.-BQH. Sun.

WHEN radical editors assert that the
''question of negro suffrage is being
submitted to the people Of the loyal
States in the shape of the Fifteenth
Amendment" they assert that which
is most palpably false. If they were
not the most hardened political sinners
that ever numbered the earth, the very
thought would cause them to blush
with shame. The question is not sub
rnitted to the people, but to legisla-
lures elected by the people, who were
distinctly told at the time that this
question lcas not an issue. To assume,
now that in demanding the ratifica-
tion of the Fifteenth Amendment by
the legislatures is submission of the
question of negro suffrage to the people
requires an effrontary that band of
free booters might well envy. 1t is a
fraud and cheat unparalleled.
