THE issue CoMING.-We are informed by private
letter from Louisville that the representatives of the
Southern Pacific Railroad will be in Tyler within few
weeks for the purpose Of taking into consideration
the subject of the location of the line of the road
with view to its extension the Sabine. The
time has arrived when the people of Smith county
must decide whether they will take position in the
front rank of counties in point of population wealth
and intelligence, whether they will permit neigh
boring counties to seize upon that powerful instru
mentality railroads, and outstrp her in all these par.
ticulars. We want to see the masses begin to move
in this matter If the railroad company will give US
favorable terms, which think they WILL there is no
reason why Smith county shall not furnish the greater
portion of the money to extend the Southern Pacific
Railroad to Tyler within the next eighteen months.

COMMERCE OF THE Pacific A tolerably well
authenticated rumor comes to Us from San Fran
cisco, to the effect that grand consolidation is
about to be formed between the Pacific Railroad
and its Eastern connections on the one hand,
and the China and Australian steamship lines
on the other-to the end Of controlling and de-
velOping the commerce Of the Pacific Ocean.
For this purpose a new company is to be
formed, embracing the stockholders Of both the
railroad and steamship lines, and placed under
the official management Of several well. known
English and American capitalists, who are con-
cerned in railroad ami navigation enterprises on
that side Of the continent. The existing steam
ship lines will be continued under this new com
binaton. with increased facilities, more frequent
trips and additional termini on the other side Of
the Pacific. The overland lines will cooperate,
and freigh, can then be billed through. at pro-
badly reduced charges, from any shipping point
upon the Atlantic seaboard, to the Sandwich
Islands. or to any port in Eastern Asia and
Australia, or vice vera Boston Bulletin.
