A Brondettle Fired Into the Badlent Cler-
(From the Buffalo Courier.]
Long Branch has its General Grant—
Albany its Convention—Saratoga its
Judge Chase—while Clifton Springs
has its George Francis Train. His
swinging round the circle with John
son to Chicago, and Ben
.Wade's party
through the Western States, seems to
have sent him in to the water-cure for
repairs. The moment he arrived he was
waited upon by a committee of clergy
men from all parts of the Union on be
half of the ladies to address the several
hundred guests at the Springs, but Mr.
Train said that lie was on the Blue list.
Organizing Credit Ilfobilier'B—Crodit
Foncier's—building Pacific Railways—
establishing cities, and putting up a
hotel in sixty days on his Principality
at Omaha, and making speeches all
along the line, we should think would
use up most any constitution. But Mr.
Train seems to be fire-proof.
After repeated promises to speak,
which had not been fulfilled, he came
to time on Wednesday night to a
crowded hull, and made one of the most
extraordinary speeches we have ever
recorded.
Wishing to caution the nation against
demagogues, he said for once ho would
personify the demagogue, in order to
put loyal men on their guard. We do
not pretend to give an elaborate report
of the hpeech or the interruptions, but
we have caught sufficient to make it
pointed and of interest. Mr. Chapman,
ocKt. Louis, was called to the chair.
Mr. Train, who was received with
applause, commenced by reading the
following resolution:
Re.volved, As our National debt was con
tracted by lunation, by inflation it should
be paid.
Mr. Chapman, of St. Louis—What do you
mean by that proposition?
Mr. Train—We mean "tap with green
backs and down with specie payment."
[Laughter and applause.] All those in
favor or greenbacks say aye. [Loud cries
of aye.] If the people prefer greenbacks
without interest, why force them to take
bonds and notes with interest? [That's so.]
The statistics show that out of thirty-six
millions of people only half a million pay
an income tax on a thousand dollars. I fence
it is fair to suppose that that number will
cover the bondholders.
The question arises, is there sufficient vir
tue loaf generosity in the other thirty-Live
and a half millions to vote to tax themselves
to pay these live hundred thousand bond
holders? [Cries of " Yes !"] The dema
gogue will make much of this point.
[Laughter.] And you roust meet him
squarely or he will have the argument.
The New York Herald closed oue of its
leaders on the National banks by saying,
since I I orace Greeley by bailing Davis ad
mits that there, is no such crime as treason,
our National debt is a National swindle.
[A voice, " The Herald is no guide to pub
lic opinion."] You are mistaken. Bennett
always I,ioks ahead. His hot shot into tho
National banks are riddling those pet Presi
dential.making institutions. He is first to
see a change in the public mind, and thirty
years experience has made him a prophet
as well as a fortune. • [Applause.] Many
years ago ho told me that a panic was a
good thing for a city or a nation. Chicago
was built out of inflation. The panic came:
bankruptcy followed, but the substantial
stores, the magnificent residences, the splen
did city and two hundred thousand people
remained there. [Louds applause.]
Give us greenbacks, we say, and build
cities, plant corn, open coal mines, control
railways, launch ships, grow cotton, estab
lish factories, open gold and silver mines,
erect rolling mills, start the sugar-cane, the
sorghum and the tobacco once more. Turn
Niagara Falls into a Manchester. [Loud
applause.] Vote ten millions bonus it' we
finish the Pacific Railroad before 1870.
[Cheers.] Vote subsidies for steamboat
lines to Europe; dig a canal from Lake
Michigan to the Mississippi, [applause,]
and remove the Capitol of America from
that corrupt and God-forsaken sink of in
iquity, Washington, to Columbus, Nebras
ka. ninety•six miles west of Omaha, the
geographical center of our four million
square mile nation. [Loud cheers.] Carry
my resolution, and there is sunshine in the
sky. [Applause.] Vote McCulloch's Eng
lish plan of paying Englishmen ono dollar
for what they paid forty centsor, and INdis
aster wrecks our financial s - p. Green
backs will start us ahead agai 1 at forty
miles au hour. Specie payment will pro
duce a regular smash up.
Frederic the Great built up Prussia on
paper, and England's power was based on
greenback currency. [That is true.] Pitt
saved England by greenbacks. McCulloch
would ruin America by specie payments.
Rev. Mr. Payne, Brooklyn—Do you ad
vocate repudiation 7
Mr. Train—Repudiation ! God forbid ! If
any tuna talks repudiation, "shoot him on
the spot." 'Laughter and applause.[ Let
me repeat the resolution.
"As the National debt was contracted by
inflation, by inflation it should be paid."
[Applause.]
.flow strange that you should mix up
greenbacks with repudiation. [Laughter.]
You might as well call ri Copperhead a
- Democrat. [Laughter.]
Blucher and Wellington represented dif
tinet nations, yet they closely resemble each
other in wax figures. [Laughter.] Take
care that the demagogue does not seduce
you by his slippery elm tongue. Ile will
argue that it is cheap to save the Union and
preserve our nationality even at the price
of $2,70R0n0,n00 :tecording to McCulloch,
but 812,000:ima,000 according to the derna
goguct [Oh ll
Rev. 'Mr. Fat Liter, Bridgeport, Connecti

This,
the demagogue will argue, is one
way 01' repudiating. This is only for the
principal. To pay it oil in thirty years, as
McCulloch proposes, we must raise—from
the poor more than the rich—slo,ooo,ooo,ooo
more in luxes. [A voice—Why the poor?]
Because the poor are the ninny. Labor
always bens the burden. Bondholders
legislated to have no taxes on their bonds.
Hence the rich man can send his children
to school where the poor man pays the
school- warm. [Dissent and laughter.
Ben Wade was right at Lawrence. .He
said the poor man must be better paid for
his labor. Seymour,
of the New York
Times, reported fairly; but it was Ray
monil who gave the start on the agrarian
interpretation. [A. voice—Did you hear the
speech?] Yes, sir, I introduced Mr. Wade
to his Kansas audience, and indorse all he
said. Wade Ts no agrarian. Ile is a bold,
plucky humanitarian, not afraid of man or
Democrat. [Laughter.] He believes us I
do, that the laboring man should divide his
day into eight hours labor, eight hours for
recreation and improvement, and eight
hours sleep, if he requires so much. [Ap
plause.] Wade is more of a statesman than
a politician. [Applause.]
Mr. Paine asked if I proposed repudia
tion. By no means; but the demagogue
will toll you that repudiation has been the
policy of the Government from the first.
I" Oh," and dissent.] You don't agree to
that. Let me prove it. The Government
commenced the war by making contracts
in gold. Then they repudiated gold and
gave legal tenders. Then they repudiated
legal tenders and gave certificates of in
debtedness. Theu they repudiated certifi
cates of indebtedness and gave contractors
seven-thirties. All your ingenuity is re
quired here to meet the demagogue.
[Laughter.] For he will assure you that
oven now the indorsement on your green
back agreeing to exchange for a live twenty
is repudiated. [How so?] Take a hundred
dollars in greenbacks to McCulloch and see
if you can get a hundred dollar five-twenty
bond, He, .will repudiate at once. You
must pay the seventy or eighty dollars pre
mium for it; for repudiation is the order of
the day. [Some hisses and " What else
have they repudiated?"
Mr. Train—What else? Why Congress
has repudiated the Constitution [laughter],
repudiated the Executive. and repudiated
the idea first started, that the States were
in the Union. Then they repudiated the
Supreme Court, repudiated the Conatitu-

tional amendment, and now they intend
repudiating the Military Reconstruction
Bill, [Oh:and dissent] and in voting the
Bounty Bill commenced repudiating the
National debt. You see repudiation is
fashionable. [Laughter.] Hence nothing
can save us but greenbacks. [Applause.]
For insolvency is the-strongest point in the
American character. [Laughter.]
Prof. Evans, Hamilton College, Buffalo—
What do you estimate the wastage of the
war, and do you not think that tends
toward repudiation?
Mr. Train—Most certainly. In my Pilot
Knob speech I put down the figures in loss
of life, labor, shipping and property, esti
mating $lO,OOO each for white men and $l,-
1,000 for black at about $30,000,000,000, the
accumulated industry and labor of a cen
tury. As so much has already been thrown
into the boiling caldron of revolution, the
demagogue will argue that our National
debt had better go in with the rest. Once
the North held the club of Hercules. The
South rebelled. The West joined the North
to save the Union. Right and numbers
conquered. Now the West holds the club
of Herculesi but not many bonds. A West
ern demagogue might say: Once upon a
time the South built up an oligarchy based
on black slavery. The Almighty decreed
that it should not be.. Four hundred thou
sand slaveholders owned four millions of
blacks. Presto, Providence and Jefferson
Davis liberated them. [Laughter.] I did
not mention Mr. Lincoln, for the demigod
of the newspapers never existed. [Oh i]
He tried to cave the Union by saving slav
ery. His emancipation proclamation was
an accident. .[ No.] Having taken care of
the South, says the Western demagogue,
look to the North. Four hundred thousand
bondholders have thirty millions of whites
in bondage. Will not Providence break
their chains as well as the blacks'? Sup
pose the demagogue was addressing 50,000
,laborers in Union Square, in poetic strains
like this:
Work! Work! Work!
With !Ark and shovel !LA.
Tory Now England's contractors,
Your own and the bondholder's lax!
There are millions of negroes to feed,
And the cost Is hitched on with the bondhold
er's claim,
And the Hum of New England's greed !
—[Hisses.]
You ought not to hiss. You know I am
only giving you thespeech of a demagogue.
The country will be full of them by and by,
and if I show you beforehand the plausi
bility of their argument, all loyal people
like this audience of distinguished cler4-
men can be prepared and fortify themseldks
against such disloyal practice. [Laughter
and applause.] The demagogue will arouse
the people into fury by such appeals :
Tug! toll ! sweat!
harder each day_ than before.
It will go to keep niggers and bondholders up,
And the wolf away from your door!
_ Work! Work! Work!
From dawn to the dark of day,
For your hopes are crushed with a weight of
debt,
'1 hat toil of your life won't pay !
—[Dissent. ]
I agree with you who hiss, such doctrines
should be put down by the strong arm of
military power. [Applause.] When a mail
talks repudiation shoot. t hini on the spot, for
Greeley has done a Christian act in liber
ating Davis. [Laughter.]
The demagogue always catches tip some
popular idea. Ho will appeal to his audi
ence in Union Square, on the question of
substitutes, whore the rich man showed his
loyalty by paying a thousand dollars to
have another man shot. Again ho will re
son to . rhyme :
. .
You g..ve your son to the war!
The rich man loaned his gold !
And the rich moan's son Is happy to-day
And yours is under the mould!
—[Sensation.]
You did not think, poor man—
You eau scarce believe when you're told,
That the sum which the rich man loaned to
the war.
Wis the price for which you were sold !
—(Sensation and dissent.]
In this way your real demagogue will set
the poor man to thinking, and, as it is a
free country, he will he allowed to vote as
his pocket and his reason dictates. He will
think of his wife, his children and his
future, and then the orator of the people
will pile on the agony:
Your son was as good as hls !
And as dear, perhaps, to you!
But yours died for his,and your daughter, now,
For his must wash and sew!
--ifiensation.!
Nay, do not pause to think,
Nor sigh for your children or wife,
For your moments are mortgaged to hopeless
The rest'of your weary life!
[Sensation and some dissent. I
The orator, having aroused their passions
will say: " All of you in favor of paying off
the debt by greenbacks, say aye." Of course
it is carried by acclamation. What can
400,000 bondholders do against a Congress
who own no bonds? Against 000,000 negro
votes, 1,000,000 Southern white votes, and
3,000,000 of Northern and Western men who
hold no bonds, but hanker after greenbacks
in order to make their property more valu
able?
The speculator advertises his gains—sel
dom his losses, and assets are usually rot
ten eggs. The rich, knowing this, have
passed for their order a Bankrupt Bill.
That saves them. 'rho poor who live from
hand to mouth have but one remedy, that
is a Bankrupt Law for the people. [A voice
—what is that ?] Universal greenbacks,
said Mr. Train. [Laughter.]
Rev. Br. Kendal, of St. Louis—What did
the National debt do for England ?
Mr. Train—Reduced her people to serfs
[Applause] ; one man in sixteen a pauper,
one child in twelve a bastard, sixty thous
and drunkards die there every year, and
only one child in eighteen goes to school.
So you see that what is a National curse
abroad is a National blessing at home.
[Laughter.]
England was one hundred and sixty
seven years in rolling up her $1,000,000,000
of debt; America accomplishes the same
result in four years. When they accused
America in London debating halls of roll
ing up an itnmense National debt, I replied
yes. But what right has England to mo
nopolize all tho National debt of the world?
[Laughter.] We will have a National debt,
I told them, one of these days, that will
make you ashamed of yourselves. [Loud
laughter.]
No National debt was ever paid, why
should ours be? It costs us five times as
much to day for a peace armament as for
merly it did for war. Our National disease
is politician ou the State, blood-sucker in
the Treasury, and office on the brain.
[Laughter.] A National debt is a National
tax. It never was, it never will be paid.
[Hisses.] You seem to forget that I am
making at your request, the speech of a
demagogue—or in other language, putting
up a man of straw for the loyal men to
knock down. [Laughter.] You forget that
I am again repudiation, us Lowell would
say, I ani for greenbacks—twenty five hun -
dred millions of greenbacks—one currency
instead of sixteen, and one date of maturity
instead of nineteen different dates, vide
McCulloch, and ono kind of interest that is
no interest at all—instead of a dozen differ
ent rates as at present. [Applause.] Mc-
Culloch's whole policy is in the interest of
Europe, of England, of the bondholders.
He has tried to break Wall street a dozen
times, and nearly broke himself. Three
months more and the crash would have
wiped out the debt.
Like ballast in the ship you must keep
the National debt steady to avoid shipwreck.
A pilot can run a thousand passengers into
eternity. So McCulloch, by specie pay
ment, can steer our financial craft into
the breakers. McCulloch believes in the
.i2,71h1,000,000
,00,0,10 GOO
EMI=
lancet, the speculem, and blue-pill kind of
finance. He bleeds to restore strength. He
purges to add stability. Ho vaccinates to
head oil disease. [Laughter.]
What a wretched state we must be in to
have the whole question of our financial
future depend upon two things—the state of
McCulloch's stomach, [applause,] and a
good crop. [Applause.] Once onr people
had solfrolintice. Now the conversation Is
on the Secretary of the Treasury. He is
selling gold. Up goes, the price. He is
contracting. Down go stocks. He is ne
gotiating a loan abroad. Ho wants one
hundred millions at home. He is bearing
the market. No, he Is a bull today in Wall
street. One man says Jay Cooke Is his
partner, that Lapier does his foreign busi
ness, that Meyer, his brother-in-law man
ages Ms gold. Another, he Is checking out
deposits or is locking up greenbacks. This
is Walnut street gossip. Never before did
man wield such power-1,600 National
banks and when they fail Mr. Spinner says
he will cash the bills. [Laughter.]
We could watch old Biddle and one Na-
tionul bunk; but 1,600 is too much for us.
]Laughter.] I gave statistics in my gold
roorcispeech, showing that it' was fair to
presume that most of our National banks
were rotten, [oh l] and were only organized
for Presidential purposes. Why, as the
Herald says, should we be taxed twenty mil
lions a year for this purpose? [Applause.]
Down, then, with the National banks, and
give us greenbacks. Every body will vote
or greenbacks. Every man who owns a
farm—a house—a ship—wants higher pri
ces. Two-thirds of all our property is
mortgaged. Let us lift it off with green
backs. Buy properly, and mortgage it up
to your throat.' Then buy more, and repeat
again, and the greenback mania will re
move the mortgar and make you. rich
again. [Applause.
Remember thatindustry commerce, ag
riculture, manufactures, create property,
and these can only come with greenbacks.
Remember that no ships on the stocks pro
duce no shipbuilders. No factories going
up require no laborers. What we in the
pit ask for is high wages, plenty of work
and greenbacks. [Applause.]
We want one currency without interest.
Now who can tell what is our debt, how
calculated, how many kinds of notes and
times of payment ? Like the Gobelin
Tapestry of Paria—like the Mosaic Work of
Rome—the mixing of legends, or the veins
in the human body, our debtis so confused,
so entangled, so obscure, that, unlike these
analogies, it has only been created to be de
stroyed. [Applause and dissent.]
There can be no financial security or
commercial intercourse without proper
reconstruction, and that day is not close at
hand.
•• • .
England is owned by thirty thousand
families. The National debt did it. Now,
as we must be taxed $10,000,000,000 to pay
off our National debt, who not throw it all
into the pool and show our loyalty by
paying it all off at once? As Mellis, of the
World, says, our policy is to make the rich
richer, and the poor poorer. Our bond
holders will be princes. The money-lenders
will be divided into nabobs and nobobs.
[Laughter.]
As the debt was made so let it be paid—
an eye for an eye., a tooth for a tooth.
England, Europe paid $200,000,000 for $600,-
000,000 of bonds. What a shave. The
Alabama destroyed about that amount of
American shipping. Why not balance the
books and pay them off in greenbacks
without interest? [Applause.] Every
body will vote, except a few bondholders,
for placing greenbacks in the place of the
$340,000,000 National bank bonds.. $20,000,-
000 saved is $20,000,000 gained. [Applause.]
Insolvency is general. When 1 saw the
gold brokers buying and selling $70,000,000
a day, I asked what it was for z, What do
they do with it? I found only two outlets
—one to pay intere,t on 5 20s, the other for
export, both amounts only $60,000 a day or
$400,000 a week: I then came to the con
clusion that somebody was behind this ac
tion—that the foreign exchange bankers,
the importers and the English manufac
turers, were all combined to hold up war
prices in time of peace. Hence they sold
gcld short in order to hedge against high
priced imports. [Applause.]
If gold goes up, they save loss by rise in
goods. It gold goes down, they make on
gold what they would lose on goods. But
this holding three balls in the air. is fatigu
ing. Did you ever see the Ravels roll that
big ball up an inclined plane? He stopped
to take breath, and the wheel went over
him, crushing him as flat as a pancake.
[Laughter.[ So with insolvent merchants
holding up goods, or insolvent banks hold
ing up bogus stocks. They had hard work
rolling that big wheel up hill, until -McCul
loch came to their assistance, and bucked
down from his specie-paying policy of con
traction. [Applause.] Public credit can
only be based on industrial prosperity. A
war, a pestilence, a famine, always places
taxpayers and bondholders face to face.
Universal suffrage is our great hobby. An
American Astor lies but a vote. Au Amer
ican sweep is equally rich. Hence some
day the pit may vote out the dress-circle.
Should the Democrats get into power with
their pestilential doctrine of free trade, and
McCulloch favors that policy, overboard go
all our industrial enterprises. [Applause.]
The New England Radical manufactu
rers, m order to destroy our Western en
terprises, are now joining the Democrats to
break down the tariff. But give us green
backs without interest and we beat them
all. [Applausd.]
McCulloch will never forget that leader
in the Times calling him the American
Necker of Finance. How ean beget another?
Simply by paving the ;i',i00,000,009 bonds
abroad at par—by specie payments. Now
we have to export 00,000,000 a year in hard
gold to pay the interest thereof.
We were one hundred years in accumu
lating what Commodore Stebbins calls the
pabulum of capital.
Say in railways q 1,000,000,000
Factories, canals, foundries, tele
graphs and other industrial works 1,000,000,000
City, county, State, and other secu
rities 1,000,000,000
Then came a new customer—the war, and
this $3,000,000,000 was absorbed as with a
sponge by the Government. $3,000,000 a day
our Treasury checked for, so that in five
years we wiped out the labors of a century.
McCulloch's whole policy was his Fort
Wayne speech. Specie payments next July,
1808. He would make England and Ger
many, and break America. That has been
our financial policy. That would make our
National debt a blessing to Europe, and an
everlasting curse to America. [Hisses.]
Why will you persist in forgetting that I
am acting the part of a demagogue at your
request, so that you can always be on your
guard? [Laughter and applause.]
In conclusion, Mr. Train stated that the
great political questions of the future were
women voting, labor better paid and green
backs. [Applause.] That none of the can
didates for the Presidency now before the
people can be elected unless indorsed by
that most powerful of all secret associations,
" The Council of the Eagles." [Applause.]
Mr. Train was loudly applauded, and
would have been much more severely hissed
had he not continually assured the audience
that he was acting the part of the dema
gogue for this night only, But when it is
remembered that the audience was com
posed of representative men from all parts
of the country, mostly Radicals and Radi
cal clergymen, the occasion and the speech
are significant.
The Massacre at Plum Creek---A Thr/ 1
llns Narrative.
A correspondent of the Missouri Demo
crat, writing from Omaha on the Sth inst.,
says that the remains of Engineer Brookes
Bowers and Fireman George Henshaw,
have just arrived. On the same train was
a man named Wm. Thompson, a native of
England, who turned out to be one of the
telegraph repairers reported killed. He
attracted a great deal of attention from the
very extraordinary fact that the covering
for the head which natnro had so kindly
endowed him with was absent. People
flocked 'from all parts to view 'the gory,
ghastly baldness, which had come upon
him so suddenly, withodt any premonitory
symptoms. The poor fellow suffered hor
ribly, if we mightjudge by his facial con
tortions. He seemed weak from loss of
blood. Ho had received a gaping wound
in the neck, and a bullet in the muscle of
his right arm. He was taken to the Ham
ilton House, and a physician was sent for,
who attended to his wounds. In a ,pail of
water was his scalp, about nine inches in
length and four in width, somewhat re
sembling a drowned rat, as it floated, curled
up, on the water. His statement, which
we have been at some pains to get accurate
ly, is as follows ;
About ii o'clock, Tuesday night, myself
and five others left Plum Creek station, and
started up the track on a hand car to hunt
up where the break in the telegraph was.
When we came to where the break proved
to be, we saw a lot of ties piled on the track,
but at the same moment Indians jumped
up from the grass all around, and fired on
us. Wo fired two or three shots in return,
and then, as the Indians pressed on us, we
ran away. An Indian on a pony singled
me out, and galloped up to me. Alter
coming to within ten feet of me ho fired, the
bullet entering my right arm; seeing me
still run, ho " clubbed his rifle," and
knocked me down. Ho then took out his
knife, stabbed me in the neck, and then
making a twirl round his fingers with my
hair, he commenced sawing and hacking
away at my scalp. Though the pain was
awful, and I felt dizzy and sick, I knew
enough to keep quiet. After what seemed
to be half an hour, he gave the
last finishing cut to the scalp on my left
temple, and as it still hung a little, he gave
it a jerk. I just thought then that I could
have screamed my life out. I can't describe
it to you. itjust felt as if the whole head
was - taken right off. The Indian then
mounted and galloped away, but as he went
he dropped my scalp within a few feet of
toe, which I managed to, get and hide. The
Indians were thick in the vicinity or I then
might have made my escape. While lying
down I could hoar the Indians moving
around whispering to each other, and then
shortly after placing obstructions on the
track. After lying down about an hour
end a half, I heard the low rumbling of the
train as it came tearing along, and I. might
have been able to flag it off had I dared."
Drs. Pecks and Moore of this city will
endeavor to reset the scalp on bighead, and
they are confident they can do it well. As
he is a strong man, it is expected that he
will recover health and strength.
From Charles Ratcliffe, a supernumerary
brakeman who was in the caboose of the
freight train when the attack took place, we
had the following
When tile train ran off the track, he was
asleep on the bench in the caboose, and was
suddenly thrown to the floor by the concus-
Blom. At the same time he heard the yells
of the Indians, and then a volley was fired
upon the peolile in the caboose. In the cars
with him were William Kinney, conductor;
Fred. Lewis, brakeman, and a man who
had been a fireman. The locomotive was
thrown off the track by ties placed on it,
and ran off about ten feet, when it fell into
a hollow about four feet ; the tender and the
five first oars .were piled on top of ono an
other, ae they had been running at the rate
of 25 miles an hour. Looking out of the
window of our car,' they could see the In
dians in strong force on the south side of the
track, shouting and yelling at something at

fireman. Theyclosed the door,but in a few
moments came out, and the conductor told
the brakeman to go and flag off the train,
which was coming about three miles be
hind. The brakeman replied, "I dare not
—the Indians are all around here." To
which the conductor replied, " D—n the
Indians; go and flag oft that train, or by
G—d she'll be into us." Still the man hesi
tated, and the conductor rushed down the
track himself, and the brakeman, Lewis,
and the fireman went after him. Ratcliffe
hid himself on the track under the car. He
had laid there for five minutes when he saw
an Indian cautiously approaching, drawn
thither by the light that hung in the caboose.
Ratcliffe got down from his hiding-place
and struck for the sand bluffs with the
speed of a startled deer. He beard some
one rustling after him, the dry stalks of
prairie grass crackling beneath his feet.
Fear added wings, and he almost flew,
but still he could hear the footsteps of
the pursuer. Ho was still a mile off
from the train, so he started direct
ly toward it, and never did Persian
gaze upon the sun with a. more loving look
than Ratcliffe, the pursued, looked upon
the welcome face of the reflector. It was to
him an omen of safety, the pledge of guid
ance, the face of a deliverer. Onward he
flew; faster came the pursuer. Quicker
throbbed the heart of the white man, as
looking back he saw two forms bounding
after him, and high impetus was given to
his limbs. Nearer came the engine; he
could see the engineer; heard the whistle
of " down brakes ;" saw the forms of three
men hurrying up to the locomotive; a few
more bounds and he can hear their voices.
Ho now shouts out with all his power—a
welcome shout is returned. One, two, three,
and he is saved—saved from perils name
less and fearful, and front a death of agony.
He was nearly wild with excitement, and
as the engine slowly started away, and
then increased its speed till the telegraph
poles were flying past and the distance be
tween the wreck and them was increasing,
he laughed and cried by turns, shouted,
danced, and committed all sorts of extrava
gances.
The Union Pacific Railways
[From the Pittsburg Ciazetle.l
ENEBAL SUBJECT OF ROUTES DIS-
It is now known to the public that the
Union Pacific Railway Company, East
ern division, had resolved to carry the
main line of their road to the Pacific,
not directly across the Rocky Moun
tains, through Utah and Nevada, and
over the Alpine heights of the Sierra
Nevada range, but by a more south
western route through the southeastern
part of Colorado, east of the Rock
Mountains, thence through New Mex
ico and Arizona to the southeastern bor
der of California, and thence through
the great valley of Southern California
to San Francisco.
This important change of route will
be attended by many and great advan
tages, the chief of which, probably, is,
that the tremendous snow drifts of the , :
route directly through the mountains
will be avoided. Another is, that the
more Southern route is level compared
with the other. On the line of the Cen
tral Pacific Railroad, running from Sac
ramento to Salt Lake, the Sierra Nevada
Mountain summit is seven thousand
feet above the level of the sea, which is
one thousand feet greater elevation
than any other railroad summit in the
world; and the Rocky Mountains can
not •be surmounted by any pass between
the Rio Grande and the heads of the
Missouri at much if any less altitude.
On the other hand, on the line through
New Mexico, Arizona, and Southern
California there are no formidable
mountain barriers; and where the ele
vation is considerable, as in the pass of
the Sierra del Mimbres, west of the Rio
Grande, there is no snow. The Sierra
Nevada on that route has sunk down
almost to a plain, and up through the
magnificent valley of Southern Califor
nia, celebrated for its extraordinary
productiveness, there is no difficultly,
neither is there any difficulty between
the Sierra del Mimbres range and the
Colorado river, which space embrace the
entire breadth, from east to west, of the
Territory of Arizona.
The country through which this
more southern route runs is all valuaffie
—very much is rich in soil, and still
more, especially in Arizona, is rich in
minerals of almost every kind. It is a
region of vast and varied productions,
but one which never can be properly
developed until a great line of railway
shall connect it with the States on and
east of the Mississippi, and with the
cities of the Pacific coast; but when so
connected and made easily and quickly
accessible, will give an impulse to our
national prosperity beyond anything
known in our past experience.
I have no inclination to depreciate
the bold enterprise of our California
brethren in pushing a railroad from
Sacramento across the Sierra Nevada
range into the rich mining State of
Nevada. Their energy demonstrates
that, although in the choice of routes
they may find it necessary to traverse
the dreary and serpentine valley of the
Humboldt to reach the region of Salt
Lake, the great work will still go on,
conferring immense material benefits,
and generously rewarding them for
their outlay. Nor am I at all inclined
to underrate the other great work of
making a road from Omaha, up the val
ley of the Utah; for this too will be a
road the value of which it would be dif
ficult to estimate; for over it Southern
Dakota, Idaho and Utah, at least, Fan
be reached. But as to the value of the
country over which each will pass there
is no comparison. Alexander K. Mc-
Clure, Esq., editor of the ChambeEs
burg Repository, who went up the U.
P. Railroad of the Platte in May last,
thus characterizes the valley of that
river
53,000,000,000
"There are but few settlers on the
line of the road; and after we enter
what is called the Platte Plains, about
Fort Kearney, there seems to be little
that can ever invite the husbandman.
The valley or vast plain is bounded ou
every side by vast bluffs, ranging from
twenty to thirty miles apart, and the
bluffs seem to be terribly sterile and re
pulsive. The Platte river rolls
along the south of the railroad, lug
ging the southern bluffs at times, and
again striking out near the centre of the
valley ; but it tires the eye to look at it
and its surroundings. It is a murky,
shallow, treacherous stream, with shift
ing sand for its bed, and naked banks
skirting it most of the way. I have
looked for miles along its banks without
seeing so much as a shrub, much less a
tree; but at times, where it nears the
bluffs, it puts out along its banks a
stunted, miserable growth of cotton
wood. * * * The valley is a miser
able waste, and I fear ever must be.
* * * I have not found a single
stream in it but the Platte River—the
whole plain thus far, north of the river,
not furnishing a single tributary. * *
There is not a habitation on the route
for nearly two hundred miles, but such
as are necessary to accommodate the
railroad and travel."
An intelligent gentleman of close and
accurate powers of observation, who, in
the summer of 1859, travelled leisurely
across the continent to California, fur
nished the author with an extended and
minutely graphic description of the
country over which he travelled, to wit ;
the valley of the Platte, the mountains
north of Denver, the basin of Utah
north of Salt Lake, the valley of the
Humboldt, and thence to the Sierra
Nevada—very nearly the route of the
Union Pacific Railway from Sacramen
to to Salt Lake. Upon reaching the
eastern base of the Sierra Nevadarange,
under the head of " General Remarks
upon the Region Travelled," he said :
'The country passed over from Ft Lara
mie to this place is good for nothing, un
less / except Bear river Valley ; and that
issaitl to he too eold for agriculturalpur
poses. Certainly it is good for nothing
else. With the exception of that about
Bear river the land is generally poor
and rocky. The low bottoms on the
head of the Humboldt are rich; but
there we had ice before the middle of
August; and from that down it is too
dry, even if it would otherwise do.
Then there is no timber, except a little
on the main range of the Rocky Moun
tains, till we come to Bear river,: and
none from, that, except a few scrubby
cedars, untill we come to the Sierra
Nevada Mountains. The Indians live
on it, but how no one knows. And
then nine-tenths of this extensive region
MEM
are mountains. Ido not believe that it
will ever be anything but what it now
It is manifest that a road through
such a region must be mainly depend
ent upon its through business for its
revenue. Yet the enterpriso is a good
one;
for by no other could the Black
Hill country, Southern Dakota, the
Great Salt Lake Valley, and the head
of Lewis river, which runs through the
best part of Idaho, be reached. But
whether it is destined ever to be a safe
and reliable route to California remains
to be seen. How its managers are to
cope with the tremendous difficulties,
topograpical and climatic, towards
which they are driving with unprece
dented speed, and with a boldness
which, in the eyes of ordinary men,
borders on recklessness, is a question
not yet solved.
Since the managers of the Union Pa
cific Railway of Kansas, with a forecast
eminently wise and prudent, have re
solved to seek the shores of the Pacific
by a more southern line, strictly speak
ing, there is no longer any rivalry or
competition between these two great
national enterprises. Each will devel
ope the region through which it passes,
be its natural value what it may; and
both may reach the bay of San Fran
cisco, one approaching it from the
northeast, through Northern Califor
nia, the other from the southeast,
through Southern California. The one
will render TJtah and Nevada accessi
ble, and probably be the means of root
ing out the social abominations existing
iu the former Territory ; the other will
bring the beautiful plains and valleys,
and the innumerable mines of gold,
silver, and copper of the more southern
range of States and Territories within
easy reach of the great body of the
American people. And whatever may
be the amount and value of the through
trade of the latter, whether more or less,
its way business cannot fail to be enor
mous. Although but little more than
half way through Kansas, it is already
profitable, as I have heretofore shown,
both to the Government and the com
pany ; and I now intend to show that
there is not likely to be a section of a
hundred miles on the entire route but
will contribute handsomely in some
shape to its revenue and support. I now
come to speak more particularly of
THE ROUTE BEYOND KANSAS
Pond Creek, the point to which a
number of the gentlemen of our party
extended their excursion, is two hun
dred miles west of Fort Harker, up the
yalley of the Smoky Hill, and four hun
dred and twenty-five miles west of the
Missouri river at Kansas City. It is one
hundred and eighty-seven miles south
east of Denver, and four hundred and
two miles northeast of Santa Fe. It is
to this point that the Government sub
tidy of bonds to this road, granted by
.tict of Congress, extends. It is within
some six or eight miles of the eastern
line of Colorado, and a little nearer to
the southern line of Kansas than the
place of beginning.
Of the country through which the
road passes in the State of Kansas, I
'have already spoken so fully that I need
-not advert to it here. At Pond Creek
the southwestern line leaves the line to
Denver—now being located (and which
is by no means abandoned)—and passes
over a rolling buffalo-grass prairie
"divide" to Fort Lyon on the Arkansas,
a distance of about sixty-five miles. An
extensive district of very good agricul
tural land lies around Fort Lyon. Leav
ing Fort Lyon, the line follows the val.-
ley of Purgatory river, in a southwest
direction, over 120 miles—still through
a buffalo-grass region—to the eastern
base of the Baton Mountain, which is
covered with a heavy growth of valu
able timber, and abounding in coal of
superior quality, some of the veins be-
iug from eleven to thirteen feet in
thickness.* Skirting the eastern base
of this mountain for over one hundred
miles—the mountain being on the
right and the vast and fertile plains of
Northwestern Texas on the left—pass
ing Fort Union, the great distributing
depot for Government supplies for all
the Southwest, the line turns more to
the west, and reaches the Rio Grande
at the town of Albuquerque, seventy
five miles southwest of Santa Fe.
Near the head of Purgatory river the
line enters the Territory of New Mexico,
after having run about two hundred
miles diagonally across the southeast
corner of Colorado—the most fertile por
tion of that Territory, in which there
are extensive deposits of coal and forests
of pine timber. New Mexico has an
area of 121,201 square miles, nearly two-
thirds of which lie east of the Rio
Grande, which bisects the Territory the
entire distance from north to south.
The northwestern quarter of New Mex
ico is among the most rugged and moun
tainous regions on the continent, but
rich in minerals. The entire eastern
portion is compartively level, being the
most western portion of the great fertile
plains which slope towards the Missis
sippi and the Gulf, and are drained by
the more southern tributaries of the
Arkansas, the Red river, and some of
the larger streams of Western Texas.
The southern half, from Albuquerque
to the southern boundary, is a country
of diversified aspect, made up of hills
and valleys. The valleys are exceed
ingly fertile, and peculiarly adapted to
the culture of the vine. William Hall,
in his valuable work, "Guide to the
Great West," remarks :
"The valleys and slopes in the eastern
section consist generally of very produc
tive land, the soil in this part being
adapted to the culture of sugar."
Again he says: " Cotton of good quality
is grown in the southern part of the
Territory ; and the wine of the region,
from Socorro, or even to Albuquerque,
to the Texas line at Franklin, or the
Mexican line at El Paso, is. celebrated
for its fine quality. Peaches are excel
lent and abundant in the southern part
of the Territory."
There is probably no portion of North
America so well adapted to the rearing
of sheep as New Mexico. Already mil-
lions are found there, and were there a
communication by rail their numbers
could be indefinitely increased. While
out beyond Fort Riley I saw many
Mexican wagons, with large bodies,
loaded with wool—not in sacks, but in
bulk. These wagons were unloaded
into warehouses at the railroad stations
just as hay is thrown loose into a barn
and tramped down. I examined some
of this wool, and found it to be of very
good quality. As. it requires at least
two months for one of these wagon
trains—each wagon drawn by four yoke
of oxen and attended by two men—to
make the trip from Santa Fe to Junc
tion City, the expense of carrying this
wool cannot be less than one hundred
and fifty dollars per ton. With heavier
return loads, andmOre ascending grade,
it takes three months for these Santa
Fe trains to make their return trips.
Bat, after all, the great value of New
Mexico is in its mineral treasures, gold,
silver and copper. Discoveries of rich
mines of gold have recently been re
ported, but the information' is yet too
vague to warrant more than a general
mention of the fact. Bituminous coal
exists in great abundance on the east
ern slopes; and near the Old Placer
gold mine, twenty-seven miles south
east of Santa Fe, and but a few miles
from the contemplated line of this road,
anthracite coal has been found. Of this
Mr. Hall says :
"The coal bed at the Placer Diggings
is very accessible and easily worked,
measuring from four feet eight inches
to four feet ten inches in thickness, and
is generally very free from earthy or
other impurities. It seems to be a true
anthracite, not semi-bituminous, but as
destitute of bitumen as the Pennsylva
nia variety."
Crossing the Rio Grande at Albu
querque, the road pursues a western
course over the Sierra Madre (or, as
some maps have it, the Sierra de los
.Since my return home I received a letter
from a gentleman in St. Louis, stating that
Mr. Sanderson, proprietor of the Santa Fe
stages, had brought to that city some speci
mens of excellent bituminous coal which he
took from veins of from eleven to thirteen feet
in thickness, which crop out of the Slope of the
Baton Mountain, seventy miles southwest of
Pond creek, on the natural route of the Union
Pacific Railway of the Eanßaa. It is hardly
possible to estimate the value of such a coal'
mine in such a locality.
Mimbres) and enters Arizona about
midway between the northern and
southern boundaries of the Territory.
But of that important Territory—con
taining, probably, more mines of gold,
silver and copper than any Wier por
tion of our national domain of equal
extent—l. propose to speak in my next
letter. J. C.
Propagation of louse Files.
A. correspondent of the New England
Farmer, gives the following on house
flies :
Flies are propagated in the summer
in the most compost heap principally—
mostly in horse manure. They delight
in the fresh droppings of the horse,
penetrating quickly into the loose tet
ture and depositing a great number of
eggs which hatch in a few hours, vary
ing according to warmth of weather and
degree of heat of compost. In from four
to seven days the maggot comes to
maturity, creeps to the side of the heat,
and takes the chrysalis form. It then
appears like a small egg, and is of a
dark brick color. In about two days
more the perfect fly appears, working
its wings a little to get the " hang of his
new existence, and then flies directly
into your house, dear inquirer, and
alights on your nice food. After wiping
his feet and luxuriating on your good
things for a time, he' goes back tothie
barn to increase and multiply. Having
learned so much from observation, we
put our knowledge to practical use by
letting the horse remain in the stable
in the summer about six days, present
ing great attractions to the flies that
escape me, and those of my neighbors.
They will soon produce countless thous
ands of maggots. We then heat about
six pails of scalding water, and while
one rakes over the heap another dashes
on the water, which literally straightens
them out. Pitching the scalded mass
into the pig pen we permit the process
to be repeated. It is not a particularly
Pleasant operation, but tar better than
to fight them after they are in the house.
The women will be glad to heat the
water if the men will apply it, and both
will be pleased with the success of the
plan, if well followed up.
Some Difference
The Legislature of 1847, under the
administration of Gov. Shunk, Demo
crat, cost only $57,819.19.
The Legislature of 1867, under Gov
ernor Geary, Radical, cost $265,061.16.
The amount of ,work done by the
Democratic Legislature was fully equal
to that done by that of last winter,
saving and excepting in the matter of
stealing. That is what makes the dif
ference.

CENTRAL PACIFIC RAILROAD,
THE WESTERN HALF OF THE
Great National Trunk Line Across the
Continent;
Being constructed with the AID AND SUPER
VISION OF THE UNITED STATESGOVERN
MENT, is destined to be one of the HOST IM
PORTANT AND VALUABLE RAILROADS IN THE
WORLD, RS it is the sole link of communica
tion between the Pacific Coast and the Great
Interior Basin, and the
Principal Portion of the Main Stem Line
E!=lME=o=!
The prssent western terminus Is at Sacra
mento, on the navigable waters of the Pacific;
but it will ultimately extend from San Fran
cisco across the richest and most populous
parts of California, Nevada and Utah, contig
notni to all the Great Mining Red,lons of the
Far West. The Company are authorized to
continue their fins eastward until itslaall meet
and connect with the roads now building east
of the Rocky Mountain ranges.
Assuming that they will build and control
half the entire distance between San Fran
cisco and the Missouri River, as now seems
probable, the United States will have invested
in the completion of 865 miles $2,f4,592,000,
or at the average rate 0ft835,000 per mile—not
including an absolute grant of 10;000,000
Acres of the Public Lauds. By becoming a
joint investor in the magnificent enterprise,
and by waiving its first lien in favor of the
First Mortgage Bondholders, THE GENERAL
GOVERNMENT, IN EFFECT, INVITES THE CO
OPERATION OF PRIVATE CAPITALISTS, and has
carefully ,carded their interests against all
ordinary con thi,,encies.
The Central Pacific Railroad enjoys all the
the privileges, grants, and subsidies conferred
by the Acts ..f Congress upon the other parts
of the through line, and has, In addition,
several special, .xclustve advantages
applicable only to the Western Half.
1. The Company has received from the State
and chief cities of California, assistance in
money, credit, and valuable property, worth
over $3,000,000 in gold, In addition to the full
benefit of the Government subsidy.
11. The hardest and costliest part of its construc
tion has been successfully overcome withi u the
first 150 miles. In a few weeks the track
will be completed entirely across the Sierra
Nevadas, atter which progress to Salt Lake
will be easy and rapid.
111. TLe local business alone of this road es
tablishes its complete II “orial success, In
depently of the vast xli, •oen traffic which
must pass over It. The gloss earnings for
the months of June and July, upon the 131
miles then open for business, were upward
of $297,000 in Hold; of which four -fifths were
net earnings.
IV. It can have no competition, but will carry
beside its own lucrative local traffic, the
whole volume of thorough business which is
k•ltrad among its Eastern connections and
their !mulches.
V. The rood ales in territory yielding
tile precious mei al., and its revenue., are col
lected in coin. lie rates fur transportation
are very advantageous, being more than
three times those of roads lying east of it,;
and tile ratio of operating expenses is less than
'25 per cent, of the gross earnings.
VI. In consequence of the aid it receives from
the General Government, from the State of
California, and from municipal corp..ra-
Lions, the annual interest obligations
which the Company are called upon to as
sume are very light. The net earnings
upon an average of about 75 miles, in 1003,
were nearly three times the amount of annual
interest liabilities to be assumed in building it,
and were $2:35,1.VJ more than the annual inter
est on the entire amount of First Mortgage
Bonds which the Company can issue upon the
first 150 miles.

The agreement of this Company to pay
principal and interest of their Bonds in coin,
being made under the Specie Contract Law of
California, authorizing and enforcing contracts
to pay gold, is legally binding, unlike similar
agreements made by companies In States
where no sach legislative sanction exists.
In these important particulars the Securities
of the Central Pacific Company offer an anima/
degree of safety, stability and profit combined.
