This line includes within distance of half
degree the cities of Richmond Washington,
Louisville, Salt Lake and San Francisco. To
complete the trans continental route it only
requires to finish the lines that are now con-
trolled or owned by the capitalists alluded to,
and take up or combine with the North Mis-

Denver; construct an extension from Denver
to Salt Lake in order to establish new

combine peculiar and attractive advantages
The traffic from the Pacific to the Atlantic
can be transported without break of bulk
from ocean to ocean; the route will be in
more temperate latitude than any existing
road, and the grade over the Allegheny
mountains much lower. These and other
features are expected to render the new route
the shortest, cheapest and best, and consti-

GROWTH OF METHNDISM.

The following extract from the address of
the Methodist Bishops to the Conference now
in session in Brooklyn, exhibits in most
impressive manner the growth of the Meth
odst BODY
"The spiritual condition of the Church, so
far as we can judge, is as prosperous as at
ANY former period. The visible fruits of an
earnest faith among the membership have
never been moreabundant than at the present
time and in our opinion the ministers, to
say the least, are as earnest, laborious and in
telIigent as ever before. We find cause for
thanksgiving in the steady and rapid increase
of members in our communion. In 1867
there we're 1, 146, 081 members, in 1871 there
were ,421 1923; showing an increase Of 275, :
243, being gain Of So 535 over the addi-
tons Of the four years preceding. The cor
porate wealth of the Church is being largely
augmented by the Christian zeal and liberal
ity of our members, acting under the wise
guidance and earnest labofs Of their pastors.
Four years ago we reported IL ,121 churches,
an increase Of / SOL for the four years pre-
ceding, valued at $35, 1856 ,439. We then
had $3.50 parsonages, valued at So ,36l 1856;
showing an aggregate value Of churches and
parsonages in 1867 Of 81 ,246 1874. We now
report IL, 440 churches, an increase Of 2,al9,
valued at s56.911, 900, an increase Ct s3l, !
o26, 46f; exhibiting an average increase dur
ing the quadrenum just passed of s. ,256 .6l5.
We now have 1900 parsonases, an increase
of 73e, valued at $7,786s6o4, an increase
of So, 425 500; showing an addition to the
number of our churches and parsonages from
November, 1867, to November, 1871, of 3,
058, and an increase in value during the
same period of $23,45l, $40 Eight years
ago we reported the aggregate value Of church
es and parsopages at s26, S93,o76; showing
an increase in value from November, 1868,
up to November, 1871, of 7,8l5, 62S =
Such facts furnish crushing logic in favor OF
a free church which the advocates OF the un-
ion of Church and State, either in Europe or
America, are not able to sansay or refute.'
