4, POLIC MU UM,
CAMP AT "BIG MEADOWS," ON SOUTH BITTER
CREEK, NEAR LA CLEM!. STAGE STATION, DA -,
suns. TERRITORY, May 4, 1868.—We are camped
in the mouth of a very wild and beautiful canon,'
having finished one section of the road, and are
waiting for further orders. Rest comes very ac
ceptable to us after having located sixty-eight
miles of line, besidea ten more of side line, for the
contractors to select from, , in several tough
places.
We commenced work on the 25th of Marchand
did not miss a single day, except at noon on
one day, when a snow storm came up and we had
to wait for the squall to blow over, until the 23d
of April,when we intersected with the line of the
next party ahead of us. No other party has done
so much work as ours and in consequence we feel
quite proud and worthy of running the pi relnl
nary line through Oregon.
The ground we have been over, as a general
thing, was quite even, but in some places we had
to pass through wild broken canons,cross abrupt
ridges, and wade through soft and deep alkali
bottoms, causing considerable trouble to find a
line of the proper grade. On this road, in this
matter, we are confined to certain limits, as a
grade over 75 feet to the mile, or a cutting or fill
of 25 to 30 feet for forty stations, would cause
dismay among the contractors. But our line
has none of those formidable features, owing to
the skill of Colonel Hudnutt, our Chief Engi
neer, as the highest grade is nowhere 50 feet to
the mile, and the cuttings and fillings are com
paratively light. About 42 miles from, where we
began we crossed the range of mountains that
divide , the waters that flow to the Atlantic and
Pacific oceans. Our level notes showed the
highest points to be 7,101.9 feet above tide level.
The summit grade of the road is where the line
runs over the Black Rills, an eastern spur of
the Rocky Mountains, equal to 8,235 feet above
tide.
The nature of this country is such that very
little skill will be required in constructing the
road, for tunneling, extensive bridges, dm., are
avoided, even at the expense of lengtheninghe
road. Whatever bridges are to be made will t he
after the "Howe-truss' plan, or simple treating.
This region for many miles, exhibits splendid
views of cretaceous rock. I have noted large
numbers of iron and coal beds near the line,
which, I think, belong to the miocene tertiary
period; also, interesting clay formations. There
are very fine examples of stratification exposed
to view on the brow of the range of bluffs that
forms the canon that we are camped in, and in
several places brown coal can be seen cropping
out.
The journey we made to Rock Creek in the
Enow storm has been surpassed many times since
by those of greater dillienity on account of bad
weather and of greater length. We think
nothing of tramping from eighteen to twenty
miles at a time, carrying arms as a safeguard
against the noble Red Men, who, strange to say,
have a great weakness for our back-hair, but as
we white men are very sensitive on this point, we
shall not gratify this desire to add to their tor
sorial collection. There are three parties camped
here together, with their escort of soldiers, called
by us "dough boys," waiting for further orders.
Col. Hudnutt has received instructions that his
party is to go west of Green River. it is our
earnest hope that we are to go through Oregon.
I see Harris every day, and it does me good to
have the society of a fellow-polytechnic. 1 can
not say that I am happily situated in the matter
agreeableof associates, but I try to overlook all
that i s unpleasant, with the hope that better
times and more polished society await me.
I am glad to hear that so - many of the class
have found employment. There is plenty to do
for natal. I hope the class of '6B may be as suc
cessful as my class has been. I think college
bled men are steadily gaining ground, but it
makes me feel sorry to see ignorant men taking
the places of those who have worked for them.
With many wishes for the success of '6B and the
College in general, believe me to be
Respectfully , yours, W. T. S.
P. S.—Later, May b.—To-day we have received
orders to proceed to Fort Bridger,Utah Territoty,
from there to telegraph instructions to Mr.
Blickensdufer,Division Engtueer of the Salt Lake
Section. We feel glad to g,o westward. A long
journey of 155 miles is before us. The only thing
we fear is a bad road, owing to the effect of 'this
day's snow storm. s.
CITY ,

PIER' JERSEY MATTERS.
IPor.rricAr..—The political campaign In South
Jersey appears to be commenced in a spirit of
warm earnestness and determination. The Re
publican party have become thoroughly aroused
to action, and conscious of the vital interests at
stake, have set out early and rigorously to battle
for their principles. With such names as Gen.
U. S. Grant, for President, Hon. Schuyler Colfax,
for Vice President, Cornelius Ward, for Go
vernor, and Hon. William Moore, of Atlantic
county, for Congress, it is believed that New
Jersey will be snatched from copper
head rule, as the six lower counties have the ele
ments to carry the State.` , All it needs is a full
and earnest canvass, and the day will be ours.
The good and powerful names presented to the
people by the ChicagolConvention form a tower of
strength, but an equally powerful name should
be presented for gubernatorial honors. Such a
man is Hon. Cornelius Ward, of Newark. In
censed at the failure of the Senate to convict
Andrew Johnson on the eleventh article of im
peachment, the Republicans of New Jersey are
determined to maintain their own integrity in
violate, and contribute at the ballot-box in No
vember their influence in saving the nation from
the disgrace of anotiMr traitor occupying the
Presidential chair. Meetings in every town, vil
lage, city and school house in South Jersey are to
he held, and eminent speakers employed to ad
dress the people,so that no one can fail to become
thoroughly conversant with the important issues
of the day.
EXCURSIONS.—The most extensive arrange
ments have been made by the West Jersey Rail
road Company to accommodate the numerous
excursions to Cape Island during the present
season. The new hotel will be completed by the
first of June. Over one hundred excursions, it
is said, will go down to Atlantic City this sum
mer. The conveniences there are far superior to
those of last year. Many additional accommo
dations have been made, and several new houses
erected.
FERRY FACILITIES.—The Gloucester City Ferry
Company have nearly completed a new and ele
gant steamboat, which will, in a few days, be
placed upon the river to run between that city
and Philadelphia. Since Gloucester has been in.
corporated as a city, a spirit Of enterprise has
been evoked which will advance improvements
there very rapidly and add much to the pros
perity of the city.
THE COUNTRY.—The country at the present
time appears beautiful, and every variety of
crops thus far promises an abundant yield. Al
though the earth has been completely saturated
with rains, grain, grass, peas and other vege
tables look healthful and thrifty, and indicate a
successful growth.
IN HIGH GLEx.—The Union Republican Party
of Camden, and throughout the First Congres
sional District. are jubilant, over the nominations
of General Grant and Hon. Schuyler Colfax, for
President and Vice President. Ratification
meetings are to be held in various places, and the
ball will be rolled forward to complete success.
