XOKTIIEHX PACIFIC IMILROAD. T!l.t!,7,t rl,'l,l1' N.inlnvrM-IU Arra nDIKIrlin'M-A Irrarrlptlon ol the Country. "Carlcton," tho well-known correspondent of the Boston Journal, writes rw follows to thnt pnper: Red Rivek of the North, July, 1809. To tlic Kditor of the Huston Journal: I want to hold a familiar talk this morning with the great multitude of people in the h.ist about this country of the Northwest. WI1EKK WE A HE. Spread out before you, my friends, the map of North America not of the United States alone, but a map which will show vou the British pos sessions of the Northwest. "Let it be a school atlas, If you have nothing better. Lav a ruler upon it, and draw a line northwest from Chicago, running through St. Paul or through Minnesota. At tho western boundary, on the lunik of the Ked River of the North, you will find our camp. I look out from my tent and see the water gliding past, to pour its ever-increasing Hood into the frozen ocean of the North through Hud son's Bay. Here the river is perhaps one hundred and fifty feet wide and six to ten feet deep, winding through the level prairies. Kank grass grows upon its banks; wild fowl build their nests along its reedy chores; bobolinks are pouring lorth their rollicking songs; the spurrow sends up his cheerful chirp; the swallows are twittering mer rily; insects are humming in the air: the sun shines throuirh a mellow haze, while all around, as far as the eye can sec, there is such richness of verdure, such wealth of greenness and display of flowers that the language descriptive of the Klysian fields and the choicest and best of poesy Is too forceless and feeble to convey an idea of the richness and beauty of this l.tir region of tho world. EXTENT OF THE POM UN. Follow in imagination the line which you have drawn from Chicago. Here you are five hundred miles distant from that city. Follow ou the track which some ol our party are to take and you will find just such verdure, such soil, such climate, such flowers in bloom, even though you travel one thousand miles from this point to the northwest. Fifteen hundred miles from Chicago, in tho far Northwest, you will hear the bobolink pouring out his love song: you w ill Hud the soil as fertile there, the climate as mild, summer and winter, as on the prairies around Lake Michigan. The fields of wheat on these plains of the Northwest are as luxuriant further advanced to-day than in New England. Fifteen days hence the reapers will be cutting the wheat, "and the harvest will go ou here just as it does in New England. CLIMATOLOGY. One of the most wonderful features of this region is its climate. Here we are in latitude 40 several degrees further north than Boston, but the summers are longer than in Massaehu- imd the winters, though colder, are less ,ere than in that State. Tho air is dry, the s calm, and the hundreds of men that I meet. have come hither lrom .Maine and New pshirc, selecting this as their future home, li.it. this climate is far preferable to that of England. Yesterday I saw a Scotchman, who lives five hundred miles north of this point in a straight line, ou the shore of Lake Winnipeg. The winter there, ho says, is not so severe as at Chi cago. Scientific men have speculated on this phenomenon, but we have seen no satisfactory explanation. Doubtless it is due to a combina tion of causes the inlluenec of the great lakes on the one side and the Kockv Mountains on the other to the Missouri and Mississippi and lied rivers, to the currents of air sweeping up the Missouri valley from tho dry plains of Nebraska. Be the cause what it may, the fact remains that here reaching from Chicago northwest over a territory embracing Wisconsin, Minnesota, Da cotah, Northern Montana, and a vast region in the British possessions lie the wheat lauds of North America. COMPARISON WITH OTHER LANDS. No other country has such a domain. The plains of Bavaria aud Hungary, upon which Central Europe relies for its grain, united, would not exceed in area a single county in Minnesota. The line lands of Prussia have a thin soil, while the wheat fields of France have been cultivated for centuries, and arc only kept in heart by constant application of fertilizers, but here the soil is in its virgin state, yielding such returns as are not obtained in any other land, unless it be in the San Joaquin and Santa Clara valleys of California. The most fertile acre of the Oangcs valley in India will not yield a greater return than these of the Northwest. The Nile and the Yangtze their fertility renewed by each annual flood may vie with the uplands of Minnesota, but there are sections along this Bed river of the North along the Cheyenne and Mouse rivers of Dacotah, which arc not surpassed by the richest in the heart of China or on the delta of the Nile. OUR INHERITANCE. I know that many of those who will read this letter are accustomed to look into the future, and to take enlarged views of what our country is to be in the coming years; but I am coufident that there is no man even him of the must comprehensive mind that has taken a just measure of the future greatness of this nation. Many of those who, perchance, may read these lines have visited Illinois and seen the wheat and corn fields and cultivated lauds of that State reaching ou and on in boundless expanse have heard the music of the reapers gathering the ripened grain have beheld the harvest fields in all their glory. Think now of those fields extended as far as it is from Boston to Omaha, over a tract as wide as from Montreal to Philadelphia, and you have the area of the wheat field lying northwest of Chicago. It Is a region presenting features different from the couutry along the highway opeued to Ban Francisco by the Union Pacific road. The plains of Nebraska and Kansas magnificent in extent are traversed by no great water courses. The streams are few and when the summer heats prevail they dwindle to rivulets aud be come wholly dry; but hero there are ever-flowing streams and lakes of pure fresh water, fed by never-failing springs, llide where you will over this vast territory, aud you arc always in sight of a river, a creek, or a lake of purest water, where the waves break on pebbly beaches, aud where thousands of water-fowl rear their young beneath the oaks aud maples that fringe the rip pling streams. Beautiful as are tho prairies of Illinois and Iowa, nature has been even more generous iu l.nr n.inmment of the Northwest. X lie larger lakes are bordered by parks and groves, pre c.,tir imi(iKe:ins of indescribable beauty, Many a pioneer on this Northwestern verge of rdvilintiou maV look out from the door t his log cabin on scenery as enchanting as any in Old England. True, there is no background of mountains, no rocky crag, or deep and tortuous defiles, but there are uuuuiauoiiN, buuuj diujk, rteil wood-crowned summits, looking down upon lakes and ponds, dotted with oCi toinnriK or clear waters dancing in the Bunlight, or reflecting from the glassy surface tinnut.V of tllU lilUUHCapO.

"Would that you could look down upon White Bear lake, and see it as I saw it day before yes terday from our camping-ground on a hill over looking its northern shore. It stretches south ward a distance of twelve miles, indented here and there by a wooded Droraontorv with sandy beaches sweeping in magnificent curves; with a wide path of woodland on the eastern shore overspreading the elope; with a green, fringe of THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPfl PHILADELPHIA, SATURDAY, stately oaks and elms and limitless fields, whoso verdure changes in varying hues with every passing cloud wanting only a background of highlands to make it as lovely as Windermere the most enchanting of all tho lakes of Old England. You see at your feet the little village of Glenwood, which in coming years will be tho resort of tourists, artists, and seekers after pleasure. If you are fond of fishing go out upon this sheet of water, with the same strong-armed Nor wegian who pulled the boat for me vesterdav morning. There are pickerel in these" ponds of Minnesota such as we are not accustomed to catch in New England. A four-pounder Is a large fish to pull from the waters ol Winnipesau kee, but I hauled up a fifteen-pounder yester day, and tho people here say that thev catch them weighing twenty-live pounds ! I dare say that the very thought of catching such fresh water sharks will quicken the pulse of inanv a boy, and perhaps some of tho old folks would like to drop a line in these waters. But to return to the subject from which wo have strayed and It Is not the first time we have played truant by going a fishing. We have said that this Inheritance of the American people reaches 4(M) miles northwest of Chicago it is that far to tne Rocky Mountains in British America, and that carries us only to the isother- iiiiu jjh ,fi uuiuua ini.-.iu summer icini:ra- turc. You may go on TidO miles further to the north branch of the Saskatchawan before reach- i nig the northwestern boundary of the wheat livid. THE MOUNTAINS. All of this territory lies north and east of the Missouri, and this side of the Rocky Mountains. We have spoken of it as a wheat field, aud have said nothing of its other resources; but here arc the supplies of timber from which the people of more southern sections are to receive their future building materials. Looking out from my tent towards the northeast I can see, on the horizon, the dim blue outline of the timbered region around tho streams forming the head waters of the Mississippi. If we travel west wo shall find exhaustlcss supplies of coal. Between the Red river of the North and tho Rocky Mountain lie the great coal fields of this gra nary of the continent. On the streams that find their way into Lake Superior and on the Missis sippi arc sites for manufactories, where, in coming years, the hum of machinery, the clatter of the shuttle and buzzing of mill-wheels will break the stillness of the primeval solitude. (Jo on to the dividing ridge of the continent to Montana with its gold, itssilver. its iron and coal, fertile valleys and timbered hills; take a look at what lies "beyond in Oregon, Washing ton, and Vancouver at the water power of tlie Columbia and its tributaries the forests of pine, so dense that the brightest sunlight of mid-day docs not dispel its darkness and gloom to the waterfalls, the pasture lands to the arable lands and to the mines of Idaho, the coal of Puget Sound, the harbors, unequalled in the world, fronting China and .lapan: and over the shortest line between the Orient and Occident; with a climate as mild as that of Virginia; to a half dozen mountain passes where the altitude does not exceed live thousand feet: to a region where less snow tall than hist winter tell upon the hills of Berkshire: to a region which is yet to be the New England of the Pacific Coast;" take iu the boundaries of this inheritance not ail as yet beneath our country's Hag. but ere long to be; think of the immediate future, if you would ob tain an idea of the material weath of the North west, wailing only the appearance of the hus bandman, lie will soon be here. THE SA11I1ATII. Our company is resting to-day on the banks of this peaceful river. The farmer who lives up the stream and tends the ferry where we crossed yesterday has oneneighborwithin Vi miles, but a twelvemonth hence these acres will be dotted by farm houses. To-day we have listened to a ser mon from Dr. Lord, who preached beneath a canvas roof. We were called together by the blowing of a tin trumpet, but a year hence the sweet and solemn tones of church bells will echo over these verdant meadows. The locomotive that great civilizcr of this century will be here before the flowers bloom another spring. It will bring towns, villages, churches, school-houses, printing presses, and millions of free people in its train. I sit as iu a dream. I can hear, in imagination, the voices of the advancing multitude of light-hearted maidens and sober matrons, of bright-eyed boys and strong-armed men. The wild roses are bloominghere to-day; the sod as yet is unturned, and the lilies of the field hold up their cups to catch the lulling dew; but anotuer year will bring the beginning ol the change. Civuiza- ion, which has crossed tho Mississippi, will soon How down this stream, pouring its waters into the distant ocean of the North' it will sweep ou to the valley of the upper Missouri. Think m it. young men of the hast, you who arc measuring off tape for young ladies, shut up in as tore through tne long and wearisome liours, barelv earning your living. Throw down the yardstick and come out here, if you would be men. Let tne lrcsn orceze lan your orow, lauc lold of the plow, bend down for a few years to hard work with determination to wiu and suc cess will attend your effort. Is this letter too cntnuoiastic' ill tnosc who read )t say "he has lost his head and gone daft out there on the prairies?" Not quite. I am an observer here, as I have been in other lands. I have ridden many times over the irreat States of the Northwest; have seen the riches of Santa Clara and Napa west of the Sierra Nevadas; have looked out over the meadows of Yang-te-ze aud the Nile, aud can say with honest convic tion, that lor one who has had a home In New England, I have 6een nowhere so iuviting a field as that of Milinesota none with greater unde veloped wealth, none with such prospect of quick development.

Pendleton on Negro NnfTrnse. A correspondent of tho New York Sua has ecn "interviewing" Pendleton, the Lion of the West, as the enthusiastic unwashed term him. lere is a portion ot tho conversation; Reporter I perceive that the Cincinnati Coia- nu rcial regards your election as Governor as an event tending to arouse old jealousies ami ani mosities, aud to revive the antagonisms of the past. Mr. Pendleton (smiling). That is one of Mr. Ilalstead's articles, written very shrewdly, but for a purpose winch lies underneath the surface. Mr. Halstead is a very able conductor of a very ible newspaper, lias strong convictions, aud is n the main right on political theories, lint his lusiness is journalism. He makes his papers as the razor-strap man did his razors to sell. In all our personal relations there has always existed the greatest cordiality and good feeling. But he has some friends whom lie likes better than nie, and if he can serve them hj' represent ing me as au old fogy or a reactionist, or an ultra State sovereignty man and a disunionist, ho would think ho was doing right iu follow ing that course. He knows that I am not a reactionist, opposed to all reasonable pro- rets, lie knows that l in lbb.rj urged to the best of my ability the adoption of the rule of negro testimony in Virginia and all the other Southern States. He kuows that I have never advised the Southern people upon the course they ought to adopt on the question ot recon struction. 1 have thought that they were quite as able as either Mr. Halstead or myself to de cide what, under all the circumstances, it was best for them to do. They must bear tho con sequences, and I thought they were the proper persons to assume the responsibility. I have re- joiccu in inu success oi iuu cousei vain u niuu ui irglnia and Tennessee. 1 do not think that Mr. Halstead can say as much or as sincerely. I have been opposed to negro suffrage in this State, and have given my reasons to the people upon the stump lor that opposition. Mr. Halstead wastheuu" oi) in accord with me. I nave been opposed, other than upon general princi ples, to the adoption of negro suff rage by any State iu this Union. I have always believed that it was constitutional and right that a st.ate should possess this power and should exercise it if it saw fit. I have always been opposed to coercing any State to adopt it. With respect to the treatment ol the negro race in ourow u ciaie, I strongly favor the most liberal possible policy onsistcut with the due separation of the race. and it is to the Democratic party ot Ohio that the negroes owe their right ot testimony and their excellent common school system. He Declare Hint Grant Iih no I'ollcy About Anytime. Reporter What of General Grant's recon struction policy and administration in general t Mr. Pendleton I never understood that Gene ral Graut had a policy about reeonstruetion; or In lact any policy concerning uujiuiuk. reconstruction policy of Congress, which con sists in compelling the States to amend their State Constitutions and the Federal Constitution according to extreme radical ideas as the price at which they are to bo relieved from military government, or what is even worso, tho govern ment of scalawags and carpet-baggers instituted and maintained by tho Federal power. Is, 1 think, essentially wrong and unconstitutional. Ou the subject of General Grants appointments 1 fear I cannot express myself as fully as I would desire; and my desire for so doing is that when I cannot speak of the Chiet Magistrate of my country in respectful terms, rather than do otherwise I prefer to be silent. I will say this much, however, that for any President to ap point men to office whoselonly qualifications con sist in being relatives or iu hav ng given His Excellency money und houses, is infamous. A man holding so exalted a position ought to bo above conduct so detestable and shameful. Reporter Then General Graut has not come tin r vrmir flvrifttfttlon8?

The Denier In Prnnnvlvnnln, nnl Their I'olltl- ml InlliieiK'c, Washington coTrc)wntltne Sew 'ork Itrrali. John Covodo, Chairman of the Republican State Central Committee of Pennsylvania, ar rived here yesterday, and left again this evening. The object of his visit was to consult with Com missioner Delano about tho operations of the In ternal Revenue law in Pennsylvania. The whisky interest, especially in the western part of the State, is very influential, and Mr. Covodo, as a shrewd party manager, is anxious to have it on his side in the campaign which Is about to open. The whisky men complain that certain features of the present Whisky Tax bills which were Intended to punish dishonest distillers, arc equally oppressive upon houest distillers and injurious to their business. Of course this is charged upon Congress directly and Indirectly upon the Republican party. If there is not some temporary let up, with a promise of substantial amendment next winter, the whisky men iu Pennsylvania and elsew here propose to make common cause against the Republican party, which they conceive to be the source of heir trouble. Mr. Covode's mission there was to see if Commissioner Delano could not make some modification in the administration of tho law whereby the hardships complained of by the whisky men might beat least ameliorated. The Commissioner, it is understood, could not give Mr. Covodo much encouragement. The law, he says, is so framed that ho Is left little or " no discretion iu its ad ministration, and he must execute it as he finds it on the statute book. Mr. Covodo is quito hopeful of the ability of tho Republicans to elect Geary Governor of Pennsylvania, though he says "the job will be a big oiie, owing to a vari ety of unfavorable circumstances. The Penn syivanians do not propose to ask for a Cabinet appointment at this time. Even if one were to be made, the leaders of the party are assured that Benjamin II. Rrewnter, who has been spoken of in that connection, would not bo se lected by Grant. The President, who is ex tremely anxious that Pennsylvania should go Republican this full, will do all he can to aid in the election of Geary, and all Federal office holders who wish to retain their places are ex pected to do the same.
