The accident occurred while the Senater was journeying from Cranston to his summer at Narragansett, about four weeks ago. Hehad ridden about twenty-seven i aad miles on bis way, when his horse rider's foot under was severe and the pain intense, the Senator did not realize the extent of the accident until, having risen from the ground, he looked down and saw, to use his own words, the sole ot bis boot staring him inthe face, He then took hold of bis foot, beat it down to its natural position, lifted himself on to the horse, then standing by | his side, and rode three mies to bis Rome, ar- Tiving at mine o'clock in the evening.

"5 We have now traveled 517 miles over the Union Pacific Railroad and reached the base of the Rocky Mountains. But first, what is the«Union Pacific Railroad!” tor amid the number of names corresponding to this the reader may not quite see his way clear. Which is the «U.P. Ri? Names are contracted to the lowest terms in the West, and the Union Pacific Ratlroad is termed the «U.P. Road” every where here, just 4s the Chicago. Burlington and Quincy Kail- Toad is contracted to the “C. B, and Q. Read.” So the Union Pacific Railway, Eastern Div:- sion. is the . P.R. E. D.,”" bat is more gea- erally styled the “Kansas Road.” There are some halt dozen railroads having the word “Pacific” in some way connected with their titles: and to make it a little clearer which is the real «U. P. R.” on which we are traveling, and which is to connect the Atlantic Coast with the Pacific by July next at the outsid few words of explanation may not be amis In the summer of 1861 the project of a grand trans-continental railroad first took definite shape, though it bad been discussed and warm- ly advocated years before. As early as 1647 Asa Whitney (who now 1 believe bas a dairy farm on 7th-street road, near Wash. ington,) was a very zealous advocate of the project in bebalt of some New York cap- italists who were willing to risk something (Government doing the same) in vebalf of the enterprise. Years betore Thomas Hart Benton had pointed it out as the true path wo the In- dies, but even he was hardly sanguine eneugh to dream that the iron horse could be run over the higher ranges of the Rocky Mountains, but supposed that there would necessarily be a gap or break in the line, over which it would be necessary to make wagon connection. In 1861 the growing importance of our Pacific possessions, and the necessity for making them more accessible, cave new impulse to the rail- Toad project. Congress was now beset by three different interests in behalf of the pro- ject of a railroad to the Pacific. There was a party from the Pacific coast asking aid to build the road from that side of the continent. Chi- cago, and the interests through to the seaboard parallel with that city, wanted a road to the Pacific that should be im a line with her rail- Toad system. St. Louis, and the interests back ofher, demanded a road that should be a con- tinuation of ker railroad system. St. Lonis had already initiated her line ot Pacific railroad by constracting an air-line road, the “ Missouri Pacitic Railway.” to Kansas City. Chicago had indicated Avr line in the direction of Coua- cul Bluffe, In 1862, Congress compromised the wrangling interests of St. Louis and Chicago, or rather gave them both the go-by, by ignoring any particalar Eastern terminus, and by the location of the initial point of a mew trunk road upon the one-hundredth meridian at some eqai-distant point to be designated by the President. A subsidy was granted so an equal amount to the road trom the Pacific side, and to both the Eastern liner, the last two being required to complete a hundred miles, each, within two years after they had respectively filed their as- Sent to the terms of the act, while the road from the Pacific slope was to be built at the rate of twenty-five miles a year up the sides of the Sierra Nevada, The Istter road took the name of the “Central Pacific Railroad; the Kansas (St. Louis) road that of the «Uaion Pacific Railwoy, Eastern Division,” and the Nevraska (Chicago) line, the “Union Pacific Railroad.” In 1°64 all these companies pro- cured yet more favorable legislation trom Oon- gress in the way of grants and subsidies, and the Kansas Company obtained the privilege ot making their own road the grand trunk route, connecting with the Central Pacific, in case they should reach the 100th meridian in ad- vance of the Nebraska line. Now commenced the race for the 100th meridian, The Kausas Company, in consequence of its legal entan- glements, through the well-remembered Fre- mout-Hallet quarrel, was soon distanced by its more energetic competitor, the Northern rT which bad made its eastern termi- nus 2t Omaha. Abandoning the attemp! to compete with the Northern line for the 10)th meridian, and the possession of the Grand Trank connection with the Central Pacific, the Kansas compary procured from Congress, in 1966, the privirege of an extension of their line to Denver, with the right to connect at that point with the Union Pacific. But the Kansas company now propose uot merely a connection ‘with the Northern road at Denver, but have a grand project of an independent road to the Pacific by the way of New Mexico, Arizona, and Southern California, to San Francisco. The company have not yet succeeded in geting Government aid for this Southern line to the Pacific, though 4 bill to that effect passed one house of Congress at the last session. Thie Union Pacific railroad,on which weare now traveling, is, therefore, in connection with the Central Pacific road, now being built east- ‘ward irom Sacramento, the only throngh line Bow in progress of construction to connect the Atlantic and Pacific States. Omaba te Cheyenne. We left Omahe at 4:20 p.m. of the 15th, ar- tiving at Cheyenne at 4:15 p. m. yesterday. ‘The first twenty miles from Omaha was over a rolling prairie, and through the rich Pappilon (Butterfly) Valley. Then we strack the broad shallow Platteand followed up its wide valley, passing through extensive flelds of corn, the appearance of the crop and the color of the soil bearing testimony to the admirable quality of the soil. We took supper at Fremont, 46 miles west of Omaha, a growing place of 2,(00 inbabi- tants. The meal consisted of such substantials as cold pork, beeswax, river mullet, red jacks, mince pie, aprte pie, pamkin pie, hot Drscuit, &c , an astonishing quantity of which the hungry crowd managed to dispose of in the “Twenty minutes for refreshments.” Price $1. Thence, through a fertile coantry of rich black loam, to North Platte, 298 miles west of Omaha and situated in the angle at the junction of the North and South Platte Rivers, Hore ‘we breakfasted, North Platte has a population of about 1,50, with a hotel, stores, round- houses tor engines and machine shops, and seems likely to haye a permanent growth. The Great American Desert. For 250 miles from Umaha the soil has been fertile, but we now enter upon the «Great American Desert” The title, however, seems to be a misnomer, for the plain is everywhere covered with grass, which. where the soil is poorest, is said to be sufficient for the support of cattle. This year, in consequence of pn- usnal rains, tbe vegetation is probably more ample than ordinary, but we can see no reason ‘why the name desert should be applied to :ne conmtry. The people here, by the way, haye a theory that railroad tracks and telegraph wires “draw rain” They account for the unusual rain-fallof this year on this ground, ‘and are sanguine that the arid character of the * country will be changéd through th qo straction.of the Pacitic Railroadgnd Telegraph Line. It is probable that tree-planting and Srriggtion will serve to reclaim av imatens» ex. tent of this land, that seems ‘to.need mothing dat war face moistuseto mike it permaueatiy valuadie, oe i l6 Dog City. Before reaching Cheyenne We passed direct- ly througi the populous city of the Prairie Dogs, occupying an area, itis said, about twen- ty-flve milessquare. Thesuabterranean houses of these dogs, of which there are thousands, are indicated on the surface by smail mounds ofsand about the sizeof the hills thrown up By the red ant, In the cemtre of these mounds is the opening ty which the dog enters his Apartment. When we first entered upon the Settlement none of ‘he animals made their appearance, the weather being cool, but later im the day 88 the sun shone out they came out by hundreds, seating themselyes after a comical fashion upon their haunches upon their mounds, and showing no fear, whatever, of the passing train except ‘when a shot was fired at them by the passen- gers, when those in the immediate vicinity would make a summersault and disappear down their holes, They ate called “Prairie Dogs,” but this is a misnomer, as they have none of the peculiar characteristics of a dog. ‘Une naturalist says of bim :—* He is of the ro- dentia tamily, has the head, jaws and teeth, nails and body of a squirrel; sits up on bis haunches as the squirrel does, and handles and nibbles his food im the same manner, His bark is not a bark, but mere like the chirrup of bird er the “cheep,” «cheep,” of a ground squirrel. In shape, form and action he more nearly resembles the chipmunk or ground squirrel, and is twice or thrice its size. His color is alight, dirty, reddish brown. All the feet are fivestoed, and are provided with long, black naile, the thumb being armed with a strong comic najl, three-quarters of an inch in length.” They are from 12 to 15 inchesin length. They are harmless even in their wild state, and ‘when tamed areas domestic and playful as a kitten. They burrow in the ground, never venturing far from their habitations, They subsist upon grass and roots, and evidently live withont water, other than an occasional Tain may furnish; for they are always found im the most sterile and barren sections, and in some instances, whole towns of them may be seen forty miles from any water. Cheyenne. it was rather a damper to the theory that it never rains on the Plains that we found Cheyenne (pronounced Shy-Ann) all under water. Streets and foot-walks were alike submerged, and our ride from the railread station to the “Rollins House” was through Water twelve inches deep. This fall of rain was said however to have been an excep- tional one; the heaviest known for years. Cheyenners call tbis place the “ Magic City”; ontsiders style it “Dog City.” It ‘was Inid out in July, 1867, and sprang up to @ population of ten thousand during the flush mes, when it was the headquarters of the Toughs, prostitutes, aud gamblers, who have composed a large portion of the floating popu- lation of each of these railroad settlements, that have in turn been the “End of :he Line,” as the road progressed. Cheyenne has now, probably @ population of 3,000, population that will be likely to stick, as the place hus some advan- tages of position to save it from the ephemeral fate of most of the railroad towns. Here is to be the junction of the Kansas Pacific Railroad with the Union Pacific Railroad proper. This calls for the erection here of extensive machine hops and engine houses, the work on which Bas already been commenced, Cheyenne has a brisk trade with Colorado and Montana, a Jarge portion of which she will probably be able to retain even when the Kansas Pacific railway has beem completedto Deaver. That Cheyenne will be able to fill out her extensiy boundaries is doubtful. The streets run up in numbers bigh as Twenty-first street, at least; how mach higher I did not learr.. The buildingsare a curious medley offrames, tent-structures, stone, adobes, and one or two of brick; very few of more than one story. Our hotel, the Rollins House, is the leading one in Cheyenne. Itisa rambling wooden building of the tumbled-together-in-a-hurry style of of most of these border edifices. The office,bar, barber-shop, and reading-room, are in one @partment. In the centre of this room isan immense, upright stove, fenced in by astrong iron railing. What this railing is for we can not make out, unless to pzevent dismal Chey- enners from committing suicide by setting fire to their coat-tails! All the stoves out here are supplied with these suicide preventers. The ‘wails of our hotel we think must be of canvass, Certainly they are very thin. We were kept awake some lime by a misunderstanding some rooms off between two or three young men about the drawing of 8 watch in a raffle, and there was some talk about shooting, which led us to make some hasty estimates as to thenum- ‘ber of rooms (iu our direction,) and more es_ pecially the number of newspaper excursion, ists—thick and thin—a stray pistol ball might penetrate, “ona string.” And inthe morning ‘we were awakened by some person brushing his baw in the next room. So we concluded that the partitions must be thin. Despite the primitive nature of the hotel ar- Tangements, the table of the Kollins House is anexcellent one. it presents such luxuries as buffalo meat, yentson, antelope steaks, of appe- lizing juicenese; and tenderer beef and better cooked than we have tasted at the most preten- ious hotels on our travels. The host of the Rollins House is most obliging and attentive to his guests, and I am glad to learn 1s prosper- ing to that extent that he is about to greatly en- large and improve his establishment. Cheyenne bas been rather famou for the number of lynch-law executions of gamblers ‘and cut-throats, within its borders, by its ac. tive Vigilance Committee, Not long ago two nighwaymen were found one morning hanging by the neck to the telegraph posts. Our barber at the Rollins House tells us that no one has been banged here for.some days, but adds— perhaps lest we should get the idea that busi- ness is dull here—that three men were found dead in the street night before last, and ‘one of them was not quite cold.” Cheyenne is, how- ever, improving in character and population, and it has the elements for a respectable, enter- prising community. It bas three places of worship, occupied respectively by the Catho- lics, and the Protestant Episcopal, and Metho- dist Episcopal denominations. Also, three daily papers, the Star and the Leader, Republi. can, and the Argus, Democratic, Mr. O.T. B. Williams, the editor of the Star, is talked of as the future Governor of Wyoming Ter- Titory, and the appointment would Spparently gave satisfaction here. Cheyenne, from its size and position, will naturally be selected as the capital of the new Territory. ‘We sallied out last night, between the shaw- ers, to see the “city.” The most prominent objects were the gambling establishments and the dance-houses. These establishments ar« open to the street so that the looker-on who wishes to inspect the elephant can do soat a safe distance, without & personal imtrodaction, ‘Whether because of the rain or that the bulk of the patrons of these institutions have moved on to the “end of the line,” business seemed to besiack. Atthe dance halls, the bosses were loudly urging the spectators at the door to “make up a set” Sud “treat their partners at:he bar.” The girls at these Ratlroad dance-houses, ‘we were told, have come from almost every city in the country; attracted here by that love of excitement and adventare pecniiar to the class. One of them, a consumptive looking girl, nad ‘with her babe of eight or ten monihs, which shemursed between dances; and whea ogen- Pied on the floor entrusted it to tha.care of the rough frantiersmen who handlea i: with « tenderness and appreci@tion that showad a touch of bums. nattire under their uicguth eri "Ar 8 “Durdy-gprdy. Bouse” where we shelter during the rain, the admission twenty-five coats covering @ drink a: the bar Siew of Sea i regard for our stomachs, we waived the drinks and passed to the Museum, which consisted of some dioramie pictures; the + Eugtish Giant. ess, Miss Charlotte; and four or five monkeys. The monkeys were rather unhappy on account of leakage in the roof above them, and the giantess was obliged to vacate her throne and come down amongst the spectators on the same Account. The proprietor said his roof had been sagged by the heavy snows last winter, and since then be hadn't been able to get it “shed.” Business was dull now, bat Inst ‘Winter the museum was crowded «as full as it could stick.” He complained of the spec tive prices charged for Jots in the railroad cities, and alleged that the sale of lots at Chey- enne bad realized for the railroad company, oF those sub-selling, the sum of $175,000. Fort Russel! 1s located four miles from Chey- enne, and is @ post of considerable importance. Fifty thonsand dollars has been appropriated by Congress for building an arsenal there.
