About two thirds Of the members OF Con

night. A large number OF visitors and TER
sons known TO be interested IN various pending

The gay season has already been inaugu
rated, but will grow more brilliant, doubtless.

Of costly and gaudy colorcd costumes appearing
at the hotels anu upon the streets on Saturday,
but the season i, not expected to attain its
full feather until after the holidays, when the
regular private and Official receptions and par
ties commence.
On Saturday slight lire occurred at Che
Marine barracks, which created good deal
of excitement, but did but little damage. A
stable was destroyed by fire on Fourteenth
street, between s aud Il streets. Friday night
a wheelwrieht and blacksmith shop, near
Rock Greek Church, ID. C., was destroyed by
fire.
Rev. Dr. Collyer, of Chicago, preached
sermon yesterday, in the Unitarian Church, in
which he commented upon the Mcfarland
Richardson tragedy, and criticised in severity
the conduct of Vice President Colfax, in his
recent Sympathetic" movements.

The Railroad and the Malls.

The telegraph reports that so tons Of mail from
the cast arrived at Wasaich. near Salt Lake, on
the 9TH of March. having been delayed for nearly
four weeks on the passage over the Rocky Noun
taius by snow storms. These back mails were
expected to arrive in san Francisco between the
18th and Goth of March. and a portion viii come
forward by the bark ID. c. Murray. which prob
ably left that port on the 22d.
On the first of March the Postmaster General
in Washington ordered that the mails should be
sent by steamer, owing to the snow blockade on the
Rocky Mountains. The new Postmaster General
revoked that order on the Sth Of March, 50 that
not many letters were probably sent by the old
Pmama route.
The railroad Is completed from Omaha (pro-
nounced O-ma-haw.) To- Ogden City, near salt
Lake. \ zap OF about 100 miles west from Salt
lake was Still incomplete at the latest date, over
which stages conveyed passengers and the mails.
The entire road VIII probably be in running order
some time during this month. unless storms delay
its completion.
The growth Of the now towns along this nation
al highway i said TO be most extraordinary. For
instance the population ofOmaha, On the Missouri
river, i already over ten thousand, and that Of
Cheyenne. a place OF hardly fifteen months exist
once. at the eastern base of the Rocky Mountains.
Is now over seven thousand. Ogden City, at the
head Of Salt Lake. which is the nearest point 70
silt Lake city, l. also destined To sec a rapid
growth and Elko, a place midway between Sal5
Lake and Virginia City, which must become the
depot for the Idaho and Montana trade north, and
the Colorado trade south, will in a few years be-
come a large city. The=e cities of tie plain viii
soon be centres Of a large trade, and attract
an immense population. They will become to
their localities what Chicago and St. Louis are to
Illinois and Mis.uuri.
