THE UNION PACIFIC RAILROAD. . f Jr:.. A- ' 336 Miles Open for TraTCl to Jalesbarg. .

" The telegraph lias anncmuueii the . completion of the road to Juiesburg, 37o miles from Omaha, and the mar terials are "nearly all on the ground to lay the track to - the , base of the Rocky Mountains 141 miles further by September next. This is certainly very rapid work, but intelligent correspondents Bay it is well done, and " that the road is well equipped : that its depots and stations are of brick and stone, and its locomotives and cars of the best. The U. S. Commissioners are also compelled to testify that it is in all respect9 a first-class road before the Government will accept it. The business of this road is already surprising. The thousands of teams that once spent a summer in toiiing over the prairies , have transferred their loads to the rail-track, and by autumn the locomotive will be at the base of the Rocky Mountains. The Editor of Harper's Weekly remarks that "when the Union Pacific is completed, all other lines of railway will become, to ascertain extent, its feeders. Along its entire route over the great Plains lateral branches will vbe eoD8tructed,whieb will pour into their way-side contributions to an extent -, that cannot to-day be opproximately estimated. " Already, with less than one-third of its length complete, it is earning , several umes us- operating expenses, as officially , stated. Such success is without precedent. When it reaches the already populous gold regions of Montana,, Idaho, and Nevada, the freight to and from those points alone is likely to be almost fabulous. And population follows the road as it extends. A town or village marks each stage of its progress. Who can calculate the quantity of way freight that the road is destined to carry for thee rising communities? Who, indeed, . can estimate the passenger traffic alone? When hundreds of thousands. , of persons, with their faces toward the West, have tramped over the Plains at the risk of their scalp-, how many peradventurc will ride, when they can make the journey with safely in a few days? But a "short time will elapse before the demands of trade will call for a second track, to be used exclusively as affreight road, over which an endless line of slowly moving vans shall continuously pass. leaving the other track for the use of inipa tient passengers only." Our readers will perceive bv refer ence to the Company's advertisement, mat it oners the rirst Mortgage Bonds, paying six per cent, interest -in gold to subscribers, at ninety cents on the dollar. These bonds are a first lien upon the road, and are limited in. -amount to -$16,600 to the mile. The Company state their net earnings for the month of May, while only 2G0 miles of road were in operation, at $21,782 a sum which, after deducting operating expenses, is several times the interest on the bonds they are by law permitted to issue upon it. If the earnings are so large upon the way business, what may we not reasonably expect when the connection is made in 1870 with the Pacific Coast? We can see no reason why the First Mortgage B?nds of such a road r.re not jl safe security, and they are15 per cent, cheaper than Government bonds at the market, rate. Correspondence of the Chicago Journal.j The Meeting of Congress. WASHiNGToy,- June 28. We are now on the threshold of July, and it is a fixed fact that there will be a session of Congress. Every day new members arrive, and almost hourly telegrams are received from others, signifying their intention to be on hand on the third ultimo. The concurring testimony of all who come here is, that the public necessity demands the convening of the National Legislature.: The opinion of Mr. Stanberry as to the legal effect of the Reconstruction Act, and the modus operandi of executing it, which practically nullifies it; the telegram ofSteedman to the President, for the removal of Sheridan; the declaration of "Little Phil," in his letter to Gen. Grant, that this opinion has opened " avwxadamized roadfor perjury to travel on" all point to the necessity for immediate action on the part of Congress, all plead for a supplemental act which shall so express the " meaning of Congress that no lawyer, , however - subtle- and ingenious .his fcpnisiries, can , explain away or abridge in the least the-power created or conferred by the act. .O Jt . TiiE TWo'THliis VOTE. S . The question .now. which agitates the Washington world is. whether the ixadieal party; In Congress will; have a two-thirds vote in order to override the Executive "veto. For no one pre- ' feumes he will give his assent to any legislation which shall-loo kr fa a denial of his theory of therebel State Governments, either de ftcio or dejure. . Several Senators and Representatives are still abroad; besides, nearly the whole delegation from the Pacific coast are at home, and do wc rd has been received from them saying the' will be here. In all, there a. e some forty absent from the country r beyond reach of speedy communication. The Democracy will be here io full strength, as well asthe conservative element of the llepublic-an party. Senator Poolittle is the only opposition men away, and it is said he will return by the 15th of July. As yet, there are not enough heard from to insure the, passage of an umeudatory act over the veto. Pos-

sbV however, they may be here

TheJnecesBitv for a full attendance is apparent, and it will not be well tor these reDresentatives" who." preferring their own pleasure to the interests of the land, .fail to lend their aid in the accomplishment of such measuresas alooe can secure a "peaceful' solution 01 ine vexing question i rewusnut tion. i .... Braye Girls for an Hear ot Need. The Newburg (N. Y.) Journal gives the following statement about the condudt of two young ladies at the disastrous boiler, .explosion recently on the Newburg Branch of the Erie Railroad: "Two daughters of' "Mr. Merritt one of the injured men hearing the explosion, ran from the Lhouse to the 'scene of. the accident finding the three men- McBurney Merritt, and bears, ouried in the rub bish and entirely senseless from the 'concussion and injuries;! deceived by the explosion, lhey extricated Mer ritt and McBurney. and carried them into the house; returning to Sears' assistance, . found an iron balance wheel, weighing 800 pounds, lying directly across him, partially supported by rubbish yet holding him securely as a vice. The two girls raised the wheel, drew him out, and carried him into the house also, providing for the injured men's comfort with all the means at their command. When they bad done this, one remained to take care of them, and the other mounted a torse and rode post baste for a phy sician." ' , . . -; .. Curious Place for a Bird's Nest, The Salem Gazette relates that a blue bird built a nest in one of the venti lator boxes of a car on the South Reading Branch Railroad, which travel regularly fifty miles every day, but ' is laid' up every night at South Reading, lhe bird m due time de posited her eggs, sitting upon them regularly at night, but not, of course, when thfi-cars were in motion. Last Thursday . three young birds were hatehed,4mt; unfortunately, a picnic on the following day required the use ot the car, which -did. not make its customary stay at South Reading on that. night, and two of them died in consequence of a lack or attention from .the-niother." The third, however is' living and doing well, although the employes on the road have occasion, to turn the ventilator with a slam many times daily. The old bird has been seen, perched on, the branch of a neighboring tree in South Reading, with a worm or insect in her mouth, awaiting the arrival of the train with her lonely child on board. The little fledgeling is now called "a bird of passage, and is thought to be. the most interesting and welcome "dead-head " that now rides over the road by the season. Boston Journal. Ihe Muster-Rolls of the Confederate Army. We give an abstract of the returns of all the armies of the Confederacy for nearly every month, from the beginning of 18G2 down to the beginning of 1SG4 the entire active period of the war, saving a few weeks at the close. The greatest number actually borne at any one time on their musterrolls was 550.000, and this was only when by "robbing the cradle and the grave " every male from seventeen to fifty was enrolled in the army. Half a million is the utmost nominally enrolled at any other period. The greatest number present for duty at any one time, and that for only a brief period, was 300,000; to which should probably be added a few thousand rangers, partisans and bushwhackers. There , were, not three periods of a month when they had 250,000. The Army of Northern Virginia, under Lee, was the great strength of the Confederacy. At only three periods did it for a month number 100,000 men present for duty. Ar. Y. Tribune. E Surra tt is described thus: " His eyes are not given to telling tales they are not so much cool as wary and self-possessed; looking into them you may see the passion with' which he burst into that '"I wish the Yankee army and its leaders were in bell but there was a quivejuVeven in" the- lids when the negro man Jackson pointed him out as the man'who took tea with Mrs. Surratt only an hour and a quarter before Booth, did his work; If I wanted to do a wicked deed I should almost envy, him his eyes. He grows sharp and pinched 6f feature. If the trial continues . three rorfour weeks, -as it Unquestionably will, the man who rises to hear the verdict of the jury will be a pitiful creature.--i . -; t- r . -1 1PHILIP DECKER, Compound Lubricating Oils' for all kinds of Machinery.
