SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS. The Union continues to define its Position on “‘the Territorial sovereignty question,’ say- ing this morning: “‘The Territories are authorized by Congress to conduct local, temporary governments. Their powers are strictly defined. The constitution rovides expressly for their admission into the Ennion upon an equal footing with the original States. Experience bas shown that in this latter Tespect there is no difficulty to be apprehended, at the proper time, in clothing the peoplethereof with sovere’ wers. Until they are pepeee for admission—during their territorial 1 fe—they are not sovereign, and may not exercise any other functions than such as are authorized by Con- gress, in conformity to the Federal Constitution, as defined by the Dred scott decision.” . The Union, further, foresees the gigantic trade which will grow up with our Western coast in consequence of the opening of China and Japan to the commercial enterprise of the world.

Campbell, Eeq., the General Saperin- tendent of Paeific Wagon Roads, Department of the Interior, is in receipt of private advices, bearing date at Los Angelos, Cal., Oct. 24th, from which we learn that this important enter- prise is now completed. Hence, we have a good road connecting the States of the Union on the Atlantic side with our Pacific coast, and emigrants are enabled to travel it with the sure guide of accurate surveys and tables of distances, so that they may not fail to find ex- cellent camping grounds, where they can ob- tain water, wood and grass each successive day of their progress through the wilds of the in- terior. Already the Overland Mail is conveyed by Messrs. Butterfield & Co., over a large pro- portion of this road, and settlements will, no doubt, speedily begin to extend along it from the frontiers of civilization, at both termini, and thus rapidly diminish the distance through awild country. The letter received by Mr. C. states that the Superintendent of this road reached San Diego on the 14th of October, and expected to be in San Francisco in time to take the steamer of the 4th instant, on his return to this city. An advance party of this expedition, under the direction of J. C. Wharton, Esq., principal assistant surveyor, arrived in this city several weeks ago, and are now engaged in the prepa- ration of notes, &c., with a view to getting in readiness the report of the Engineer, N H. Hutton, Esq. The following lengthy abstract from that portion of the report showing the practical results of their Inbors, we have been k ndly permitted to lay before our readers in advance. It is of great interest to the people of this country generally, and will, no doubt, be eagerly perused : *- On the arrival of the expedition at Frank iF opposite Fl Paso, the initial point, ou the 22d of October. 1857, three parties were immediately organized and the construction of the road com- menced. Since that period. it was continued without intermission or snepension, except the necessary intermission of distributing the parties along the route, until the Ist of August, Is53 The advanced state of the work then authorized a reduction of laborers employed, and rendered unnecessary a large preportion of the outti!— mules, wagons, oxen, tools, &¢.. which were seld at public auction, in La Mesilla, on the Ist of August. With the reduced force, the Su- perintendent and Chief again gone over the road, from L, silla to Ft. Yuma, to make some additional improvements as well as to secure and reader more certain an abundunt supply of permanent weter. Of this, a Teport more in detail will be given en tbe arrival of these oificers in Washington city, early in De- cember. LOCATION OF TER ROAD Beginning at Franklin (opposite El Paso) the road proceeds up the valley on the east side of the Rio Grande, touching the river at convenient points for water, crosses it near La Mesilla, and coutinues up the valley on the wist side to Pica- cho, 51.5 miles from Franktin, thence turning wesiwardly ascends the Misa and passes over a gently andulating prairie to Cook's spring, 1014 miles, thence thiough the favoreble pass in the M imbres mountains, crossing the Rio Mimbres directly to Ojo de la Vaca, 1315 miles, y assing the southern edge of the Burro range Me oe 6 miles through the tains to Ojo Excavedo M7 Peloncillo pass 187 6 miles crossing the Rio de Sauz 201.7 directly to Park’s railroad Pass, be- tween the Chiricabui acd Pinelena moun 231 miles to Croton water springs 244 7 miles, thence through Nugent’s pass in the San Calistro range to the Rie Sen Pedro 2715 miles, down the vailey on the eas: side of the river to the junction of the Rio Aravaypa 323.1 miles, and 115 miles from the Rio Gila) Then crossing the Rio San Pedro, the ioad continues to a very favorable Pass into the Santa Caterina range directly toand striking the Rio Gila 375.2 miles, 21 miles east of the Bimos villages, then-e by the Marteopa wells down the veliey on the south side of the Rio Gila to Fort Yuma, the western terminal point of the road 5-05 miles fiom Franklin, making tke new road about {0 miles leas in length than the old-traveled road. by tue wey of Puerto del Dada or Apache pass, Tuc son, &e CONSTRUCTION OF THE ROAD The excavation, owing to the geuerally smooth or gently undulating surface of ‘the prairies and vallies, and very favorable mountain passes of the country traversed by the road, wes not very heavy or expensive, but confined chiefly to sid + entting in making the road around the rocky bills and bluffs in the vicinity of Franklin, at the P.cecks, (opposite Dona Ana.) in ascendinz the Mesa from the valley of the Rio Grande, and along the val- lies of the San Pedro and Gila rivers, turning the points of Mesas and rocky blutts, or keeping the road-way above the wet and marshy bot: also, wherever it was required to mike easier the crossings of Arrayos and streams, or more gentle end gradual the ascents and descents ofthe moun- tain passes, the road bed was cleared of boulders and loose or detached rocks, as well ax of brush, throughout its entire length, requiring much time and labor, especially in the vallies of the San Pedro and Gila rivers. All the springs and permanent watering places were improved and made easy of access, and the supply of water rendered ample to meet the de- mands of the stage and emigrant trains at ail seasons. W here permanent water was not found at suitable points, reservoirs were constructed either by dam‘n, the Arrayos or sinking large tanks to collect and retain a supply of rain water. The accompanying tabular statement of the Inoxt convenient watering places, with the required facilities for camp purposes, shows bow abundantly the country along the road supplies the great desideratum of travellers across the plalus—wood, water, and grass. Toe soil generally a mixture of coaise suad, clay and gravel, is very favorable to the formation of a good and durable road bed, which a little use will render bard, compact and smooth. The yrades and curvatures of the road are com- paratively ligkt, and oifer no obstruction to the rapid transportation of vebicles of any descrip- tion. . The crossing at the Rio Grande Is effected with much trouble and difficulty by fording ata low stage of the water, owing to the quicksands in the channel, and at hivh water the rapidity of the current makes ferrying tedious and danger- ous. A bridge is greatly needed by the people of the valley, by the large trains of emigrants en route to the Pacitic coost, and also by the Over- land Mail Company. The rivers San Pedro and Mimbres are small streams, and are readil forded at all seasons. The Colorado js crossed by ferry. * STATIONS ON gue ROAD ™ Miles From r° a Franklin® .. labors Cottonwood ® .

Sussaixe.—The good people in this region are to-day realizing the blessing of sunshine, of which they have been deprived for the Greater part of the last month, during which damp, murky, chilly, and otherwise intensely disagreeable weather has prevailed fora hun- dred miles in all directions around Washing- ton city. While the effect of this state of the ‘atmosphere has been very disagreeable upon the nerves of the denizens of the cities, upon the interests of the farmers it has been disas- trous indeed; insomuch as it has prevented the late sown wheat from coming up, and held in cheek the progress of that sown earlier, which started off to grow finely in the month ot October. Besides, the soil has thus been kept too wet to admit of tall plowing, or the fall preparation of gardens. We never knew the delightful season of ‘Indian summer”’ so ardently longed for as on this occasion. The sunshine of to-day bids fair to put an end to the estate of things we describe above, and is therefore most gratefully welcomed. The In- dian summer may yet be hoped for in some degree, even though December comes upon us to-morrow. Arrivep.—The Hon. John Forsyth, U. 8. Minister to Mexico, duly arrived here this morning, and has apartments at the Kirkwood House, where his many warm friends in our midst will find him, in fine health and spirits. Apropos.—The Hon.
