dams on the Double Mountain fork OF

twelve of the enemy and captured

The plan of Colonel Scott, for secu-
ring government aid for his Southern
Trans-Continental line of railroad, has
at last been made public. We find it
at length in the st. Louis Republican.
A memorial which is to be presented

both cases the construction has been
