The route .is better than was expected tu be found, and the cost of bdilding 1 Yailrond over it is less. than the engineer had reason to hope. It is short, di*'gect, eheap, and abounds in all the materials necessvry to build the read. We have. positive knowledge about the route, while there js only hearsay aud conjecture about,the others. Had the other routes been scientifically examined, as the Truckee reute has, and been demonstrated to be better and cheaper for railroad purposes, it would be reasenable to quit the advocacy of the Judah survey ' gnd-adopt the best and most feasable route, Bat no such choice is presented us. So far as we know, and the same. individuals whu surveyed the ‘Truckee route have examined. several others with a view of finding the best, the route by Dutéh Flat is superior to any in natural advantages. Now, as no ether will be thoroughly” surveyed this winter, and cannot be fil next summer, as the evidence is all in favor of the Truckee route being the best of any, and as the intervening time is valuable fér grading the road, why cannot the work go on without further conten. tion and-jeatousies ? The question of terminus need not affect the road at all at present. That point will ultimately be the. terminus that nature de~gighed should be. If the Central Pacific Railroad is commenced sorrewhere ‘in the neighborhood of Auburn and _ pushed ‘oriwatd ‘towards the summit the Washoe trade will be sécured all the sooner.~.

We look upon. ‘first, ag the poorest sort of policy in. every sense of the word; because it makes enemies of all the railroads in the State, and looks like a selfish effurt to use the donations of the Government exelusively and ont of season, for the benefit of ene particular place. Build the railroad between Auburn and Nevada Territory first, we say, and leave the remainder to be built where the stockholdera shall determine. By tbis course we shall disarm the opposition of railroad men ina great degree, because rivalry _ isremote, and hush the voice of contention in other places, for the same reason.

Se itwas, we dare say, at Fredericksburg. It.was well knuwn that our forces were marching on.tnat city, days before they camped before it, and probably most of the women and children had left:— At any rate the city is a small one compared with Louisville and but little time was required for noncombatants to retire. Sumner ought to give the city no more time than was requisite for the defenceless portion of the population to get away, before he rained shells upon the city. The delay may cost us a thousand I'ves by allowing the rebels time to get their guns in position.
