WOODeTOCK, VIRGINIA.
Thursday Morning, December, 2, 1875.

We have received copy of a letter
by Hon. JNo. w. JOHNSON, U. S.
Senator from this State in preference to
the Southern Pacific Railroad bill. AS
this bill will be matter of consideras
tion for the present Congress and as it
has received the. approval of a number
of the legislatures of the Southern
States, it is important that its main'
features should be generally known.
Senator johnson in his letter shows
that it is expected to be carried by the
support of southern Congressman, that
it is really a Northern road for the
benefit of the Northern States, that it is
underline control of Col Tom. S.: OFT
of the Penna. road, and that the only
Southern feature about it is its name.
The route of this proposed road swill be
from Philadelphia to St.s Louis over
SCOTS roads, from St. Louis to Fort
Worth ever road under the control
of Col. Scott. and from Fort Wort b
West 10 San Diego. The guage to
be uniform throughout and to conform
to the guage of the Northern roads.
The Southern roads are all of five feet,
guage while the Northern roads ale
fu,r feet, eight and one half inches. A
Southern road, il is true could connect
but it would require break Of bulk,
thus throwing almost the entire trad c
over Northern roads We are in favor
of Southern Pacific railroad, but not
of one which instead of bringing trade
to our Southern ports would divert ii
to New York and Philadelphia. The
following is the conclusion Of Senator
.Iehnston's letter:
81 repeat what | sai,' in the Begin
ming, that L am an earnest friend OF a
genuine southern Pacific road; and now,
Tat the south is regainining her right
of being represented by her own true
sons, do not permit myself to doubt
that plan will be found Of securing
fairly the completion of the great
enterprise IN mode beneficial to them
and just to the whole country. Under
present laws, the Texas and Pacific
Railroad has large grant of land from
the United States; and, have been
told, from the State of Texas also
What further aid, and in what form,
the United States government should
grant il, is not necessary to indicate III
this letter, even if had made up my
mind on that point.
In all this matter have only at heart
s the interest of the south and Of my owl,
! State. which has hopored me so much
aud which / delight to serve. believe
that the success OF the bill proposed,
or any similar measure, would be in
furious to tho south and to Virginia,
aud Hereford oppose it.
