Benefits OF Agricultural Fairs.

The principle of fassOciation- the D. ac-
tice of bringing men together bent on
the same general subject, pursuing the
same general end, uniting their intellec-
tual and physical efforts to that purpose,
is a great improvement in the present
age. And it has become essential to the
best interests of the farmers of the COM
monwealth, that these annul fairs should
be established, and that they should be
universally attended. From the meet
ing Of men together who have the same
general object, who wish for improve
ment in the same general pursuits in
life-that they may converse with one
another that they may compare with
each other their experience, aud that
they may keeps a constant communica-
tion-it is in this point of view-in this

The Pacific Railroad.

In 1862 Congress passed the first act for the
act, which was considered both war and peace
measure, certain persons were incorporated by
the name of the Union Pacific Railroad Company,
with power to build and maintain road from a
point on the hundredth meridian of west longi-
tude, between the south margin of the valley of
the Platte, to the eastern boundary of Nevada
Territory. The company was granted the right
of way through the public land and every alter
nate section within the limits of ten miles on
each side of the road. The Secretary of the
Treasury was authorized to issue to the company
Sic, 900, per mile in six per cent. bonds, except
for the most mountainous and difficult parts,
where the bonds issued should be S4s,0 per
mile, and for the intermediate sections between
the Rocky and Sierra Nevada mountains S32, 900
the whole amount issued not to exceed $780,
900, 900. 1t was required that the road should
be completed before July lst, 1874, and should
be forfeited to the United States if not completed
before July lst 1876. And that it should con-
meet with the road oe the Central Pacific Rail-
road company, of California, which was to run
from point near San Francisco to the eastern
boundary of Nevada. The Union Pacific COM
paDy were also required to construct at the rate
of one hundred miles in the first two years, and
one hundred miles per year thereafter, road
from some point on the western boundary of
Iowa to be fixed by the President The initial
point for the eastern end of the road was selected
by President Lincoln opposite Omaha, in the fall
oe 1863. The laying of the iron was commenced
in 1865, but not till 1866 did the work begin in
earnest, and by the close of October, of that
year, the hundredth meridian had been reached.
The Union Pacific contending against formidable
obstacles at last reached the point of junction
with the Central after an adverse struggle of
three years. In the meanwhile the Central Pa
cific or California company had been gradually
working its way to the East through granite
rocks and over alkali deserts. By the act of
1862 the same terms and conditions were granted
to this road as to the Uuion Pacific so far as tie
land grant, right of way and subsidy was con-
cerned, but in consideration of the nature of the
country gone through they receive a double or
treble subsidy for nearly the entire distance.
The physical difficulties the Calfornians had to
contend with in passing through their own State
and Nevada were great but they have all been
surmounted

late on visit to Lopez's camp. at latest ac-
counts from Asuncioa, the Brazilian naval force
had returned from an expedition up the Para
quay river, beyond the limits of the State Of Par
aguay, without succeeding in its object, which
was the destruction OF Lopez fortiications on
that stream. United States Minister Webb has
had violent quarrel with the government of
Brazil about an alleged disrespectful note from

and he will remain till his successor arrives.
