Sincb !ar JclJ, a stead; stream has turned ID from the over populated towns, and districts, tj the free blessed virgin soil of tbe West. Thousands upon thousands bsve gone West and staled out homes for themselves there, thus preparing tbe way for their owo future comfort, happiness and inde pendence, aud at the same tiu lifting as it were a portion of the load off tbe loo thickly settled districts from whence they moved. The thinning out of tire surplus population, and their making of borne for themselves, will in five or fix yesrs set the country again com pletely on its feet. A few years ago the land resound e.l with the louil denunciations of the Democracy North and Sonth against the Republican part j for Toting land grants to railroads.

There are also much excellent land for cultivation and grazing, some that is wooded and an incalculable amount that is valuable for gold, silver, copper and other products. The climate is un surpassed. Settlement has increased rapidly without any conveniences for travel. The port sought is good, j and the only one that is good between San Francisco and Acapulco ; and if provided with railway facilities would aid our commerce with the Isthmus and west coast of South Ameriea. The road is desired by the southern States for the same reasons which led to the construction of the Union Pa cific, and by the new States and Ter ritories as a necessity for their de velopiiient. The demand made of the govern ment in the bill is that it shall guar uii tee the payment of interest on five per cent, gold interest-bearing bonds, issued up to the rate of $35,000 per mile, but not exceeding $.50,000,000 letween Sin Diego and Fort Worth.

There is no subsidy asked. The proDosal is a guarantee of the i payment of interest upon a limited sum, n return tor unquestionable securitios. This guarantee will en able the bonds to be sold and the road to be built at once The earn ings of the completed jortion of the road last year amounted to $-3000 per iuile ; and when constructed through the rich mineral, metal, pastoral and igijcultural country named, with northern and sonthern branches and Pacific commerce at San Diego, there hu e no doubt tliat these earnings v. ill bo Kteadilv increased and go on iiu;reasing with the increasing popu lation and wealth of the vast terri 1orv op?ned. n,.

It is opposed, too, by the Central Pa ciric interest, created almost without return by government contributions, and by some northern men who dis like assisting southern recovery and well-being. One or two facts are evident and incontestable. The road as designed is noed and will be of vast benefit. It traverses an inaccessible country of great dimensions and wealth the Cibola of the Montezuman dynasty which yieldod vast wealth from its remote sources to Spanish' cupidity. The whole country will benefit from tills wealth. It will also carry popu lation into new regions and build SUtea into opulence and power.

Terrible Tragedy- A shocking tragedy is related by dispatch from Chicago, under date of the 5th, thus : A special Iroiu Sparta, Wis., says : Xews has just been received from Wilton of a horrible affair which occurred there on Thursday night. Mrs. William Van Vor bees, a young woman with three children, had, after living unhappily with her hus band in their home in the outskirts of the Tillage, been deserted and left desolate tnd despondent. She frequently spoke of sui cide to the neighbors, and was prevented from purchasing poison by them.

The Lair, sca.'p, and portions of the arms were burned oil Irom each, and the blazing rafters from above were tailing upon them. The body of the eldest boy, aged ten years, was found behind the bedroom door burned to a crisp. Blood was found spattered upon the bedclothes aud the garments of the mother.
