Who have gone over the route As sort of
preliminary surveying party, report that
there is but very little snow to be found,
even during the severest weather. This con-
nection will give the Central Pacific two out
lets TO the Missouri river. and will enable
il to dictate terms to the Union Pacific, which
has heretofore held the leading cards in It's
hand, and played them for the advantage OF
Chicago. The Kansas Pacific road Is virtu-
ally St. Louis enterprise, and there can be
but little doubt that il will be pushed forward
with great energy, because 81. Louis is ex-
remedy anxious TO get portion at least, OF
the California trade.
Then again, il this rumor should prove
true, the probabilities are that the Union
Pacific will push its line westward, and eros
sing the Sierra Nevada mountains somewhere
in the neighborhcod OF Beckwith's pass,
finally Join hand with the California Pacific.
/ As matter of course, the more railroads
that are bull; the better will the public fare,
and i, is pretty certain that none will be
/ found To cry '.hoid. enough

GEy. BUTLER receives no encouragement
for his views, as expressed IN his recent
speech, from any Republican paper which it
has thus Ear reached us. The Albany Ercn1'g
Journal thinks that, notwithstanding his &C
knowledged ability, the General ''has not sue
ceeded in impressing the country with con-
viction Of his wisdom As councillor, or his
prudence as 4 politician" IL continues:
ut may he his fault, ii certainly is his mis-
fortune that his suggestions are invariably
regarded with degree of suspicion. When
he appeared rs the advocate of paper cur
rency without any solid basis-of fancy
paper balloon, without any ballast or any
fastening, left to careen with every capri
cious and shifting wind of popular PASSION
when he thus out-heroded the Hcrod of the
Democratic party, he did one thing which
explains the secret of this general feeling.
In his Boston address, he has done another.
The speech is acute and able. 1t indicates
the watchful politician and the original char
acter But in his keen search for hidden cur
rents and Interior points, the most obvious
and decisive forces completely elude his grasp.
1t is natural that a politician,
knowing the necessity of party grounds, and
unable to grasp the force of these, should
seek for new questions. Gen. Butler looks
to the remote and foreign Alabama contro-
yersv to find what he fails to discover in all
the important and vital issues under his very
eye. But his position here is quite as &c
centric as upon domestic questions"

Grx. Buffers idea that a foreign war
would r.unite the South and the North Is
moi Endorsed by the Southern press. The
Charleston Ne,rs thinks the Southern people
have had enough of fighting for the present,
and il char.,rierizes the idea that our South
ern brethren are eager to do battle against a
foreign foe from sentimental love for the
old flag as a wild one, founded upon a thor,
ough misconcep,ion Of their temper and
spirit. The Richmond Wing also says the
Southern people have no desire for any war,
and the Petersburg Iader Is positively Ger
tain that nothing can be further from the
wish or intention Of that section than TO fight
under any flag, however starry, or in any
cause whatsoever.

The LOUISIANA SUGAR HARvEsT.-
Despite the interruption produced by the re-
cent political excitements our coast planters
have made considerable progress in gathering
their saccharine harvest. The season never
was more favorable in South Louisiana for
the maturing Of the cane and the cutting,
hauling and grinding the same. The only
drawback has been the lack Of water to sup
ply the mills Many planters have had TO
run their pipes to the river and sink pumps;
others have hired tugboats to pump water
into their ponds. Despite these obstacles
grinding is going on very briskly, and the
Weld of sugar and molasses promises to ex-
coed that of last year by at least %, Zoo or
D, 600 hog-heads. With good and reliable
labor to cultivate the plant early IN the season
the product would have been much larger
The increase this year is due entirely to the
season, which has been an extraordinarily
propi.ious one labor has been very diff
cult to obtain, even at the high rates Of SO
and $40, and even $50 month. Inequality
of the sugar and Molasses Is excellent. Sew
eral large planters are securing gang, Of
Chinese laborers, and are preparing for large
crops next yar.-Ner Orleans Imes, Nor. %.

AHoTmEK RAILROAD MOVE.

4 gentleman intimately connected with
the management Of some Of the railroads
that lead out Of Chicago arrived in San
Francisco ON Sunday evening, and yesterday,
while in conversation with an attache Of the
Bulletin, remarked that it was stated and
generally believed that the Central Pacific
railroad company had purchased the Cen
tral Utah railroad which connects Ogden
and Salt Lake City, and would Immediately
commence extending the road southwark
through Salt Lake Valley. II Is known that
the Central Pacific company have been tor
several months negotiating for the purchase
of this road, with the intention Of pushing it
-outhward to SEWER River Valley, or the
Cherokee trail pass through the Rocky
mountains, and thence eastward for the pur-
pose OF connecting with the Kansas Pacific
railroad, which has already been completed
to Denver City, Colorado territory. There
will have to he built, to make the connec ion
between these two road, only about three
hundred and fifty miles u track; and those

The Report of Maj. Gen. Pope will at
tract general attention, and will receive the
approval of those who..are best informed in
regard to the Indian character and the ma
ture of the country in which raids are made.
Gen. Pope's suggestions are made in very
quiet way, and with no air of authority, but
they are 80 sound and so well sustained by
the facts and by common sense, that they
ought to be needed in Washington.
