Thw lower route Is the one in which St. Louis has the moot Interest, as it is an extension of the Pacific Railroad ot Mlbsouri. The directors of each of thew roads are striviuar rigorously to reach the mountains with their tracks before the other. The Republican's correspondent says: ROUTE OP TH UNION PACIFIC RAILROAD. The Union Pacific Railroad, commencing at Omaha, ollows the valley of the Plaite river for five hundred and hity miles, or to the buse of the Rocky Mountains. Omaha, upon the .Missouri river, U nine hundred and mxty-eliriit (barometer) feet above the level of tlio sea. Ore mouth of the Platte i fifteen miles belo Omaha, and to reach the Platte valley the road makes a detour nine miles southwest, ami then follows the natural valley formed by this river. Pnrtftklnir of the nature of a prairie, the valley, g it extended westward, has been lor many years considered an aria plain. It covers an area of about five thousand square mites, and varies in width from three to twenty miles. North of the valley the country is a rolliuir prairie, eradually decreasing in fertility as it extends northwesterly to the British provinces, where the intense ritor and leneth of the win ter and the sandy toil have almost entirely de stroyed all vecetable lile. The railroad follows the north bank ef the riatt lor three huiidred miles, and then cro-ises the North Fork, and keeps up tl north side of the South Folk to its headwaters at the loot of the Rocky Mountains. There are but tive bridge' of any size until the Rocky Mountain are reached. The first U over the Elkhorn, one hundred miles east ol Omaha, and is a truss bridge of the most approved pattern, built upon utonc piers that will luet lor half-a-dozen cen turies. Similar bridges have been built over Swell creek, the Loup Pork, the Wood river, and the North Fork. No streams of any size How into the Platte from the south side, the natural tendency of all streams ot this valley bein? to run southward. .No attempt has ever beeu made to navigate tuo Platte, or to improve U lor navigation. It is a rapid stream, spread over a Very large surface of ground, very shallow, and yet so full of quick Bands as to render it untordable. Its banks are continually changing from side to side, owing to the washing of the sand, a in the Missouri. Unlike the latter, however, it never has freshet?, and never inundates its banks. Us rise and fall is limited to six inches. The water is never clear, but of a muddy, Sftiidy character, caused by the wat-hing of its bunks. For practical illustration it may be said that the Platte, rising in the west, runs west to its jjiouth, in the Missouri river. Its tributaries rise in the north or northwest, and, running southeast, empty into the Platte. Its southern tributaries, Skull and Salt creeks, have clear water aiid rocky bottoms. It will be seen that !, nature has laid out the whole Platte valley into little valleys bisected with rivers and creeks at various intervals, and lined the river banks with the richest bottoms or valleys, covered with an alluvial soil, and varying in width from one to six miles. Timber of various kinds is found upon all the small streams. The cottonwood, however, prevails to the areatest extent. There is no doubt, were it not for the annual burning of the prairies and the erass upon the bottoms or valleys, tne v. hole Platte valley would be covered with timber, as it is where the fire could not reach thut we now tin l the oak, lonuat, cedar, and cottonwood; and it has been fully demonstrated in the various Western States that whpre the tire has been kept off a particular tract for three years, a strong growth of timber starts out, and in ten or twelve it is large enough for po?t, rails, or general building purposes. POPULATION OF NEBRASKA. Over two-third? of the population of Nebraska lie south of the Platte valley, ani the lanrct portion along the M!.?!-ouri river. Out of fifty members of the Territorial Legislature, over thirty are elected south of the Platte. The line of travel opened by the emigrants starting out from Omaha to cross the Plums to the gold mines of Colorado, the Mormon harems of Utah, and to the Puciflc coast, have Induced many farmers or ranchemen to settle along the wairon trail ot the overland route. These found a ready market for their corn ami cattle in the emigrants, and later in the mining regions of Colorado, which rai.-ted nothing to feed themselves. The Indians and the wolves have lor many years reigned supreme on the route, and it was neeessary for emigrants to travel in laree bodies tor self-protection, aud for ranchemen to fortify themelves and build stockades for their cattle. These disadvan tages but few were williner to meet, and conse quently we now tind settlers so rare upon these millions of fertile acre?. LAND, GRANTS. The land grants of the PaciBc Itoad are the finest ever triveu to a iniirnu.1: tine-luili' tlin land for twenty miles uixm both sides, with the right to locate at any DOint the amount thev do not get on the last end, where the title is not now in tne uovernmeut. This will make them the owners of the entire valley alter ihev set out bevoud the surveyed and located lands, which probably do not extend over one hundred miles, tor all lauds on the then surveyed line are withdrawn lrom the market until they get what thev desire. So far, they have no lands taken up except at "whatever stations they needed lor inimeuiate use, ana m locating tbte at random thev are Bafe, lor they will get the title whenever they leire it, and the cities, towns, villages, aud farms are theirs to locate-, to sell, and to build up. Durant can literally say, as he rides out with his Iron horse into the wilderness an,i startles the Iudiun lrom his lairy4-! am monarch of all I survey; my rights there are none to UBpuie." TIMBER 1'OR RAILWAY CONSTRUCTION. When Dr. Durant announced, one year ac;o, mm ne wanted one million ot crof s-ties tor im mediate use, and three millions in two vears. everybody laughed at the idea. "They must be naa," ne repncn. 1 win nave tuem." Kvcrv source was applied to. Soon one party agreed to furnish a larire lot, aud another a lot. but they were bringing in cottonwood, a species of timber like uutu a pumpkin or a cucumber, which looked well enouo.li, but had a reputation j'or not being reliable over night; but the re sources of man ure as eiuiles bis desired are boundless. "Bring on vour cottonwood,'' said Durant, aud up the M;i'ouri. ami down the Mis fouri, out of a thousand ravines aud gulches rang the sound of the iuvadt r's axe, and soou came a perfect torrent-of tie ties ot o-ik, of teuar, ana ot cottonwood. TUB "Bl'RXKriZINO PROi'LVH." To make the latter available, au iron boiler a Hundred leet loug and five tea in diauietur was Drought Into requisition. It was tilled with ties and the aperture belug closed, a steam engine exuaustea tne air, wnicu emptied the pores o I be wood, when a solution of ziuo was injected which, permeatins the fibre, hardens the wood and in drvinar gives it well u!gh a metallic an Tiearance and weigbt, wiiieu guarantees its dura - wuuy lor booih tweive years. - SIGHT HUNDRED AXD FIFTY THOUSAND TIE AND TELLURAPH POLE : already have been laid by the company; 150,000 jnore must go dowu ere the work ceases for the winter2r,uo to the mile, and extra tor sidings. .rr fuel cottonwood was bought from eiirht to Ln 11 lars ft'r V at Omaha; and pan was Douent ana delivered on the line Jivne road for a distance of one hundred and !f V I c "die, at prices varying from live to ten dollars per cord, nevond thai poiut no "WWtlVJ could bo had until a point wan reached lltant, two hundred nd wn'y-five miles, where, wood If again found on the rieite and south of it, and bailed to ti trai-tr for $H per cord for aborted kinds, and cio-fs-t'es lor froi.i Id to tl'tO.

TUB WATER QUESTION. Water is easily reached all along the road by digging from fight to twenty feet. The com pany have constructed water stations at con venient di.lances, nnd with s'ation houses of a size and character not excelled by any of our Eastern roads. The, water is pumped up at pre sent by hand, but Ihe company will soon in troduce windmills for that purpose, the per petual winds that eo how ling over the Plains furnishing all the necesary power. RArLWAY BHorg AND STRUCTURES. The company have built shops at Omaha for the construction nnd repairs of their cais and entrincs, that bid lair to rival, in efficiency and buil.l, those ofanyof our Eastern roads. They are all of brick, nnd are nil so laid out as to enable the company to extend them indefinitely. The company are now running twenty-one locomo tives, and the next summer will increa.-e it to one hundred. They hnvc now only three hun dred cars, but in less than a year will have use for two thousand. By Marcn next they will be able to turn out lrom their own shops at innntia one car a day, and probably soon double and even treble that number. THE DIVISIONS. The road will be divided iuto working divi sions ot about one hundred and tifty miles each, and although the same enrs will run tiom the Atlantic to the Pacific without any change ol their freight, the eneines will only run one divi sion. From Omaha to the mountains there is to be no grade over thirty feet to the mile, and the trains made up there for the West go through just the same. On their return tho all down grade will enable tnem to hrina back any quantity of coal or stone for ballasting the road. The first working division terminates at Grand Island, one hundred and sixty-live miles from Omaha. Here the company have nearly com pleted a brick round-house for their engines, and shop for repair.. The next relav or end of divBiou will be near Cottonwood, where similar brick buildines will be erected. The bricks are made at Omaha, although there is plenty ot the finest brick-clay all along the road, upon the bluffs or terraces at the edge of the prairie bottoms. THE TRACK. The loam and sand make au excellent b.mk for the trftck, nnd the surface, forming a kind of miHte. does not easily turn into tliist ,'', soon covers over withgra sr. i-g jD B"gr0at terrible piasrue to an travellers, it is the in tention ot the Company to ballast the entire length of the road with finely broken stone, similar to the Pennsylvania Central Railroad. On their reaching the Rocky Mountains they will send return loads of stone on all their con struction trains. AN AIR LINE. Xo road ever yet built runs on so straight a line as this. East of Columbus there is an air line of eighty miles, without the slightest deflec tion; wbilo in the last two hundred ana ntty miles of track there is probablv not twenty curves in the entire distance, not nn embank ment over twelve leet high, and not a cut over that depth, with only a bridse tn a halt day's ride. This road has every advantage that will enable it to make the iastest tunejicf any rail road in the world. mon SPEED. Ou its re' nm Ihc late excursion train was composed ot nine cars, and, to show the guests what couiit oe uone, it ran at trie rate ot a nine a minute, or sixty miles per hour, lor some inie. Five Hundred aim uity nines ironi umaiia to the mountains can bo run in lourteeu liouis with perfect safety, and allow tor passengers to stop ai d net meals aud the engines to supply themselves with wood and water. From New York to Chicago, by way ot Pittsburg, is oil miles time U0 hours;" from Chicago to Omaha, by way ol Northwestern, is 4',)7 more, uud time 2'1 hours; matins iy: nines in in uour.s, or three das lrom New iork to Denver City. One week to go from Sv'all street, spend a day in a Colorado gold mine, and return to the Brokers' Board. PROSECUTION OF THE WORK. But turning back to the end of the track reaching away out over the Plains, we lind grading parties at wotk ior a oisiance or a nun fired miles beyond the end of the rail; seventy- five miles are reauy lor tne lies, except some small gaps that will be filled up in ample time. There is a bridge to be built over the north fork ot the Platte, but that is already partly aoue, and will cause no delay. The trac k has been laid tnis summer at tne average rate ot one nine anu six-tentus per nay lor every working day in the mouth, and making no allowance lor rainy days or want of material. Three hundred miles of rails, chairs, etc., have been taken up the Missouri river this summer and landed at umana. more is on tne way, out the ireezing up of the springs that supply the Missouri river at its head will leave so little water in the channel as to stop navigation in ten days more. Before the work is stopped this month they expect to have three hundred and twenty-five miles in running order. By January 1 the Chicago and Northwestern will nave com pleted their road to Council Bluffs, when all the future material of the Union Pacific will pass throuch Chicago on the way to Omaha. The' item of freights up the narrow and tortu ous channel of the Missouri has beeu au euor nious one. To get cnuine6 and cars up from St. Joseoh (from w hich point uenrly till the freight was taken), a boat had to be constructed ou pur pose, aud so built as to draw ouly three leet of water, it cost to transport engines from the shops in the East, w here they were built, from S170it to $2200 each, and cars from $250 to $luoo each. It is evident that all rail communication next summer will reduce the Item ot freights trom thirty to torty per cent. While no road has ever b"en so cheaply graded, none has ever been built under so many disadvantages and expenses, and the whole world mar well look on with wonder at the almost magic build of two hundred and eighty six miles, now in running order. The wonder is increased as you look upon the mup, and see it built atar oil' from uny other railroad, aud only the Missouri river to iuruish a channel lor supplies. THE SURVEY:?. l or the last six months the railroad company has had lour corps ot euL'ineers feeling around for a pass throtmh the Rocky Mountains. No route has vet been adopted. Colonel 8. Seymour, consulting cneineer ot the company, and Gene ral Dodge, chief engineer, have spent several weeks iii the mountains, personally inspecting the various passe-. They nave just returned, and will soon be able to recommend a route. It is most likely that they will cross a huudred miles north of Denver City, where they can get nimifr m itiioi.t tunnellin?. Five separate routes have been surveyed: ueriuoud a l'ass, we?tot Denver; Polder Pass, twenty miles north of Denver: Cactie-a-Poudre Pass, titty-five miles nerth of Denver; Crow Cre' k. Pn.-s, seventv-tive miles north ot Denver; aud Lodue Pole Creek pass, one huudred miles uoith ot Denver. The last thiee tome out at the west side upon Laramie Plains, and the two first upon the Middle Park. Lodge Pole Creek would be the shortest, but has a tunnel of a mile and a half in length, ('row Creek U the longest, but has no tunnel. , L . . . . ' Berthoud's Pass has a tunnel of about three and hair miles in length, and Bolder Pass one from lour and a halfto live miles long. The ereat object now is to get the load built, tind Cow Creek rouie having no tunnel, will r"-otiiW w adopted, iinr: n brr.c:h ran. C&wn 1o r.ci'YtrCit.y. TUTS 6 'AO I! PntTTEf.

GOVERNMENT COMMlS'ilONtFS. The Pad tic Railway is especially favored among American railwav enterprises, because of the existence of natural obstacles and built of undertaking that would rest fatally on anv embarking ot private capital in the work. It could not be built without Government aid. The Government has appointed its commis sioners to supervise nnd examiue every mile of track bctore it Is accepted; and this was faith fully done by the commissioners present ou the late occasion. Their functions are not au or namental sinecure, as the history of their con nection with the road abundantly shows; rail road men all agree that it is well built. A bit of history pertaining to the eastern division of the Union Pacific and Kansas route well i.ltis tratcs this. It was in est scrupulously examiucd some months ago, and to tho loss of contractors, but out ot the controversy as to points of dif ference of opinion grew 'the most important summoning in testimony ever gathered lrom railroad expert". THE BUSINESS AS PECT. It ifi very difficult to estimate the business ol the Pacific road. Colorado, Utah, and Montana have a population ot probably a quarter of a million, in UG4 it was estimated, upon very carelully prepared data, that forty millions of pounds ol Ireights were carried over the Plains in wagons ln 1805 it increased to two hundred mill ons of pounds, nnd employed DODO waerons, 60,000 cattle, 16,000 horses and mules, and 10,000 men as drivers, guards, etc., making the cost for freights alone last year nearly enough to pay .f .')O,00O per mile for the construction ol the road. Thousands of passengers were carried at $100 per bead from the Missouri river to Colorado, and $:t5() to Salt Lake City. Now the Overland Stage Company charge $125 from Omaha to Denver, $250 to Silt Lake City, and about $100 through to California. It the Pacific Railroad charge one half the present rates they will double and quadruple the lreight and passenger busi ness, and make the road profitable the first year this independent or the busioesj from the Atlantic to the Pacific, that will only commence when the road shall have been completed from ocean to ocean and the tide of th? world's com merce ebbs and flows through Chicago, COAL.
