State, and forward the same to them at his ear

 Hest convenience

 Everything connected wi,h the construction

 of this road is being conducted with the most

 lauda5le foresight. These resolutions have

 been submitted just at the time when pub"

 lie sentiment rendered some such action, on the part ofthe companies. IT ost desirable. Many oi the most influential journals east have stood

 aloof and looked on as if undecided whether 10 ] advocate or oppose. but the manifest harmony

 which is every day becomingSnOre and more apparent, and the evidently great commercia advantages which the early construction and operation eff this road are destined promote, have given germ to an almost unanimous

 voice in favor of 8 railroad over the 32d par allsl. Indeed the project has the advocacy of most of the influential journals east; those only being opposed, that advocate the 35th parallel, and for some reason or other believe that the progress of the 32d parallel road is destined to seriously interfere with the inter ests of the other Whether they think aright we shall soon know, ss no unnecessary delay will bs permitted to retard operations on this Gue-and funds sufficient to secure the build ing of great part of the road have already been subscribed.

 The N r. Herald speaks of it in the fol- lowing terms;

 From the Mississippi river this is a much shorter route to the Pacific Ocean than that of the Union Pacific road and as t Hanks the Rocky Mountains and the Sierra Nevada chain it may be built all the way over the Plains It is also below the region of interrupting snows, and the work of building it and of running it when completed may be continued without the stoppage of day from wintry storms. With anything like the enterprise which built the Union Pacific this Southern road ought to be finished within two years, for there will be comparatively little to do in building it beyond marking out the line, and laying the ties and rails. When finished 1t will be the main line for through travel but there will be work enough, not only for the two continental roads, which will then be in operation, but for one or two more. In the building up of half dozen new States the Union Pacific will soon be an immensely profitable line, and 80 with the Southern Pacific in tapping the undeveloped resources ofWegtern Texas and of New Mexico and Arizona, and of the Northern States of the Mexican republic, and the vine and olive lands nf S-uthern Californin- ihA most productive in the world.

 h this connection it will be seen that Gen. eral Rosecrans is in better business than he woGld be in running as the democratic candi- date for Governor of Ohio. General Fremont 1 we believe, is now in Europe raising money 1 for the main line from Memphis westward. 1 He only asks the right of way and certain l Territorial lands along the line from Congress; for with these and the liberal grants offered by Tezass he calculates apon building the road without the further assistance of government bond. We think, too, that on this basis the l road ought to be pushed through without difi- culty, considering the advantages of the route. the lightness of the work and the profits sure to follow.
