THE SAN DIE30 AND YUMA ROAD

There is perhaps, no project hich, wi,hin a period cf time So brief aud at an expenditure of capital so traing, may bring so many advantages within the reach ol the people of Ar'z.na as the construction of a good wagon road beIween he points above named. This sl heme IS no: ofa onsosided character, but one the consummation of which would extend equal privileges to every inhabited nortiaa of the Territory. There ,s no other route by which merchandise, or supplies of any q description,
 may be so speedily or so oheaply brought into this Territory from San Francesca or the east as 6y steame- to San Diego, and thence, by a direct practicable route to Fort Yuma, and such route the contemplated wagon road pro
 mises to furnish. The Union says tha, $5 l5O have been subscribed to the stock of the com plny which has taken in hands the buil5irg of this road, snd asks: "What must people g, a distance think of a pla-e where total ,pb..

extract from private letter, written by a
gentleman in London to friend in New

coming great trouble, as there has long been

Screw steamers are driving them out. This
fact explains as much as the war the deca-

presently make things worse for sailing
