ViNrra, Oberokee Nation, Juxio 9, 1873, Two more Paclflo rallroada aro boing bullt for Chicago,—tho Atlantio & Pacifio, which is to cross the Continont ot about tho Thirly-fifth Parallol, and tho Texas & Paciflo, which plercos Toxss, and is pushing out towards Ban Dicgo. _ THE ATLANTIO & PACIFIO is now running from Pacifio, 87 miles wost of 8t. Louls, through tho Btate of Missourl, emerg- ing noar tho southwest cornor of that State into the Torritory of tho Indlan Natlons, and tormi- nating for tho prosent on tho pralrie, 5 mile or 80 wost of tho Indian rallroad-town, Vinits. The Dircotors have had much difloulty with -the Bt. Louis peoplo, and bave rosched tho conclusion to givo that placo tho_ go-by, and to strotoh forth to OII0AGO FOR A TERMINUS, Thelr presont torminus, Paclfic,—otherswiso' Franklin,—is tho outlet of tho Aiton Valloy. Thoy have only to iron that valley for 85 milos %o connect with tho Ohieago, Alton & Bt. Louis Taliroad nt Alton, and thus leave.8t. Louls out inthecold. Tho road hne plorced tho exoellont iron-ore lauds of Misgouri, and flods amplo om- ployment in carrying-the mineral. o Bt. Louis, It will soon be bringing it to Chicago instead. IR TEXAS & PACIFIO BATLIOAD hns startod onits westorn journoy, from Moar- shall, near tho oastern boundary of Texas, vin EI Paso, Mexico, to §an Diogo, Oal., by building various scraps of road, and scquiring others, sufficlent to give it connections alroady in operation over & considérablo tract of country. By purchasing the Southorn Pacifio, it las obtained that Company's track from Shrévoport, La., to Marshall, Toxas, and from & point in Kaufman County, west to Dallas, whore a junction is offocted with the Houston & Toxns Central, that conneots at Sherman, in the north, with the Missour], Kaness & Toxas, and tho Alantic & Pacific systoms, . FOR ONICAGO, and, in tho south, with tho Galveston, Honston & Hendorson, for Galveston,tho outlet of Texas, and tho Soutbwost on tho Gulf of Moxico. Trom Dallas, tho track is laid wost 88 faras Tort Worth, termiuating on the open prairie, like that of tho Atlantic & Paciflo, with its enda pointing to tho setting sun., Tho Transcont{- acntal charlor for o rosd bordoring the south lino of the Indinn Torritory, from Texakana, on tho oast lino of T'oxas, and trendingsouthwest to TFort Worth aforessid, and all its possosaions, lve boen acquired by tho Toxas & Pacific. From Fort Worth, the acquired and projected route wost of theSouthern Paciflo, tho track pro- ceeds in a southwesterly divection, as tho orow flies, to tho wostern tior of countios of Toxna; thonce almost duc wost, through Boxor Torri~ tory, sud Pecos, unsottled country, till it strikes tho south lino of Now Mexico, skirting that line, “theneo duo wost. through' Arizons, and 8o on to San Dicgo. Tho Texas & Pacifio will build un- der this and all ils chartora; theroforo, the Transcontinental route from Toxakaus, on the east line of Texas, will bo mado part of tho Pa- cificsystorn, by oxtonding it, from its southwest bend "ot Paris, directly wost to Shorman, and thonco almost south, with a little slant west, to Forb Worlh aforcsaid. From Shorman the Pa~ cific routo will start,—instand of ovor the South- orn Pacificlino from Fort Worth, alrondy traced,— obsorving n wostorly diroction along the south line of Indian Perritory, dipping always to tho southwost, a8 far as tho “Staked Plain,” and thence taking a suddon turn to tho south, ns far a4 tlhio southeast corner of New Moxico, where it will atriko the sbove described Southorn Paciflo route, which is from that point adopted. Various ronsons are given for the change of route through Texas; the best seems to be, that the ‘Company may utilize two or more franchises, carrying laud-grants, and monopolize the coun= try tributary to its TPacific lino, It can also fol- low both routes, if it so elects. i THOMAS BCOTT t is tho President of tho Toxas & Pacific. Ho controls the greater part of tho other lines, pro- Jjoctad aud othorwisg, in tho Btato of Toxas ; and will malko tho Pacific line continuous from South Carolina to Lower California, and a foedor to s property in the Northesst.

The nino miles of rails botweon thoso two.points havo sinco been laid, and a continuous lino is now in oxistence FROM CIICAGO TO GALVESTON, oqr thousand two hundred and twonty-eight miles. The ovent was colebrated by an invitation to Congress {o take o trip over tho road, starting from Bf. Louls on the 10th of las month, and lesving Now Orleans for distrib- uting points North, on Saturdny, the last day of the month. Your agocinl has already telegraphed articulars of tho trip, Noarly 90 Sonators and topresentatives, 22 journahists, and between 70 and 80 frionds of the Senators, Represontatives, and journalists, including their wives, sons, an daughters, mado the excursion, . THE COST OF COMMIBSARIAT for such & party was no tritle ; could not have beon loss than 87,000, and quito likoly was ag much as £10,000. For dnys the common drink was ohampagno. Gontlomen who rarely taste champagno st liomo, and do not care for it, drank many Lalf pints P“ day durin; this trip, for tho simplo renson thn| it was botter than the water, and ‘more hondy. It was handod around by the por- tors from morning till night. Porters also made regular trips through thocars with cigars, brandy, and whisky, The feeding en route was reokloss- 11 oxtravagant, More was wasted than eaton, t stopping-places the railroad companios footed tho bills ; und ruilroad cating-places do not sup~ ply food ad lib, for such a Enrty a§ this for the mere fun of the thing.

Yet it did it, and it has rorohed the smaoth, bosutiful prairlo, For 450 miles from Vinita, the projeoted track lids over the most dolightful " land, beautiful rolling pralrie, that it is possiblo for the mind of man to conceive, with a goil similar to that of Northorn Illinoia, which 18 spoken of as tho flnest in the world, and no engineering difioultios.
