About Railroads.

We learn from the Denver Tribune that the work of grading the Rio Grande road from Pueblo south is going on.
 The AtcLison, Topeka and Santa Fe Rail way is to he extended from it's terminus, at the west line of Kansas, to Granda, in Col orado.
 Concerning the Atlantic and Pacific we have the following from New York, under date of June 2j

 So often have we been assured that this company was about to inaugurate a new and better policy, We cannot now believe that the members of the company mean anything better than the selling of shares at advanced rates. It IS the "doggonest" railroad com pany in America or the world, and nothing would please us better than to have the pleasure of trading the riot act' to them Had St. Louis half the vim and enterprise of Chicago, this road would now be built, or nearly SO. St. Louis is terrible old fogy place, and we almost wish that Chicago or any other lively place would cut her out of ons-haH her present trade.
 Here is the A. & P. Company, owning the best railroad route on the continent, yet their highest aim is to speculate in stocks. Congress ought to take away their charter and burst the entire concern up. Such men have no business to hold in check the deyel- opment of 30 great and rich a country as that crossed by their route.
 California papers state that the Southern Pacific Railroad Company, have commenced delivering freight and landing passengers al their new terminus.
 It is now, we believe, an admitted fact that MT. c. ?. Huntington has disposed o his interest in the Central Pacific road, fol the purpose, it is alleged, of arming himsel with more time and money to put through the Southern Pacific, which, according to des patches published in our extra, Monday last is to be driven to Los Angeles as fast as pos sble.
 With all the light before us, we sec m speedy nope for railroad connection for ou Territory save that which gleams from th Southern Pacific of Messrs. Stanford, Hunt ington 6 Co. The building of the road a,  far as Los Angeles would not be of mucl benefit to the people of our Territory, but it extension to some point on the Colorado river tand we don't much care what point), woulC be of incalcuable service to the whole Terri tory and it's people, in that it would bring U people to look at and invest in mineral, farm ing, grazing and other resources; would d away with the fear of crossing the Californi desert; would bring us cheap goods i short order and enable us to reach San Fran cisco in iron, three tO five days.
 As Mr. Huntington is now looking A Southern California, we beg bim to take run into Arizona and contemplate our ric mines, the owners of which are praying for railroad to bring them cheap tocls, machinery supplies, etc, and to carry their rebellion ores to some point here they could be pro fitably worked.
 As for the Texas Pacific, We fear it will many, many years before we will be able [ shake hands with one of its engine driver
