Tin pacific iailboad mix The Senate rvauuied the consideration of tho Pacific ilioail hill. Mr. bhil.KK presented hi* views on thu goneral sub L't of railroad Conruiuuicatioo with the Pacific, arid o various proposition* which were now pending before 0 Senate, There ucoinud to lie but little diversity of >iniou aa to the main object io view. All, or nearly all, eui anxious for the construction of a railroad to the icific i but dilVcretiCcs arise us to the proper mentis of coiuplisbing the deairod cod, the extent und character the aid which Congress may rightfully extend to such work, and as to its proper location. Fur himself, ho lould not be tenacious on minor points. lie wished to cure u cliunnol of communication between our Altan States and our Pacific possessions, not no much witlr view to develop the wcuith and commerce of tiro couny, as to afford tho means to imiinbiiti our riglits und ob ct our citizens in tliose remote regions. The whereHints of the rmuI was a mere secondary consideration, e cared not whether it was u few degrees fortius north further south, so that the cud was accomplished of aking a great uationat highwuy, open to all, and sutttuut to answer the pur|KMc? of tiie govcrnnient, and for >e commerce and trade that would pass over it. He be>ved that only one roud was necessary, and that the instruction of that one would require till the aid that ingress would be willing to extend ; und while he was ixious that that one should he a fair agent of the gov umeul und of the army uud navy, lie was stiil willing colic 'do to those who might undertake the work a >ry liberal discretion us to its locution. No one would attend that it should he forced where nature did not tend it to lie. It should lie ou the best location ; and 1 was willing to leave the decision of that question to i determined by the results of scientific investigation, id by those business considerations winch might properinfluence such a question. Those who were to conruct, own, and manage the roud would he the most teres ted as to its proper locution ; and, as was approiately said by Mr. Itentou, "they will look before they up, and if-they do not they will not leap long." Mr. B remarked that he preferred a central route, uud tould lie gratified if upon full examination a route souichat central should prove to ipj the heat route ; hut he as for a road, no mutter how far south or iiow far north, iti.i.i flic li..>t?u ..f u., ??i..,.i,?a 1...1 1:1*1.. lportuuce to the question of the several tcriniui of this aid ; the main stem through the mountain region ii c great desideratum. An for the connexions on the stern side, it wan not very material whether St. lamia points north or south of that city should he selected ; o real terminus would be where the main stem emerges >m the mountain range. He could see no reason for iloiuty or contiict among the friends of this measure on to question of the eastern terminus. When the conny east of the mountains should lie filled tip by civili.tion, it would lie checkered all over with railroads leudg in every direction, in reference, however, to the ountain divisions of the road the utmost care would lie scessary in the selection of a route that should not bo ible to obstruction from snows. Mr. '">. proceeded to advert to the progress of railroads this country, ami their influence upon its growth, lirty years ago railroads, were unltiiowii iu this country ; >w about thiity thousand miles are in operation. The mefits which they confer, in aiding the diffusion of iu 1 rmntion and general intelligence, are almost incalculue. Such an undertaking us a railroad to the Pacific, issing over hundreds of miles of uninhabited country, is o vast to be accomplished by private enterprise, and icrefore requires government aid. Ordinarily settlaents proceed according to the settled laws of Nature, id railroads are not needed until agriculture has made insiderablc progress ; but there are special reasons why ie road should iicre precede the pioneer. It is essential to ie defence and protection of our Pacific possessions, as nil as affording the means of gaining the greatest comcrciul prize which has been staked iu modern tintus, and the most effectual agency iu developing the material ealtb of that vast region through which it will pass. He ferret! to the defenceless condition of California in case of war with a strong nuvul power. The first sixty days [>uld in all probability see her cut off from any Intercourse ith the Atlantic Stutes, and would find us without the cane of suudiug an army to Iter rescue through our vn limits. Thus she might he left to struggle and to It alone At. llie present time it would require four or e months to gmul an army overland ; and, if the euierncy should aviso iu the inclement wanna of the year, lief could not be extended at all. The estimated cost the railroad is a mere bagatelle compared with the na null and other considerations involved. Befoie Mr. B concluded hi* remarks a message was mounced from the House of Representatives, and be elded the floor. # (MM. gt'ITMAS.

Mr. Clean son explained the composition of water, its various and ini- j port ant uses, and the necessary part which it sustains to ;lie earth, the air, and the existence of mankind. Withput water (said be) there would be no life, no air. no u igiit nothing. Place humidity and heat in the earth c 11 as to prevent its escape, deepen the soil, arid poverty ind wretchedness would at least be removed far into the uture. lu oisler to sliow its benelicial effects upon the ' * in man system, he referred to the establishment of water :ures and stated that, in this eniintrv wtinn hi> mm li?>! >eon taken Hiek and his life despaired of by the physicians, . le had curled him to one of these establishments, where, I ifter conforming to the prescribed rules, ho was cured in * hree weeks. ' the time he airiv? d at the health-givng institution, ho w.is iiuahlo to walk, but at the orid of hree weeks he went with a fishing party, walking tive niies to the scene of the sport, and live miles back: Sev:ral of the experiments were very Bucoeesful ; others-were allures.
