The article is loo long for insertion in our columns. li>; importance, however, leads us lo fiitni-.Ii a coudenscd statement of its furls ami conclusion*, as of'particular interest (o ns here, who have ctmccrned ourselves so mueli in favor of the S<>ulhern Pacific Hail road. The consid<}inlions whieh li.vvo decided in favor ol (lie j'nnil ro:i<l mr. ! <'<iwilly decisive iu favor of a railroad i lirough llic same piincip-il points and along the same parallels of latitude. The subject is introduced bv a general \ lew of the geography, meteorology and physical character of iho interior portions of the country westward of the limits of the present population with the conclusion thai the extension of population, and the "inarch of em pi re" must bo southwcslwar.l I loin t ho Mississippi river. This direction is aflirmed to be inevitable and demonstrable from the relations between tho "moisture-laden winds of the (Julf of Mexico" and the cold and killing blasts from the north, which meet, as tho north and the south winds prevail on a fluctii.itijig line, and sometimes bring, as for Ujo bwl two months, hard and cold weather in Northern Texas, and sometimes allow luxuriant grasses 011 the plains of the Arkansas jpUl tho Kansas rivers. The conditions of climate are decisive jigainsi any oi the northern routes. "That by the Soulh l'ass and tin: Salt Lake is dismissed as not to bo considered at jlfl.? Tli? floors of winter may lit1 .estimated from tin: fact tliat there lias bcu'n frost-ami i- e there on the Olst of .Inly. Il is, therefore, clearly impracticable fur the mails... Two other routes further Routh were left for consideration. They arc rcspoetiyjcly called the Albuquerque and I he 101 I'as'> routes, those being the names of the several points at which the Fpper llio (IrandtMs passed. El I'aso is near the 22d parallel, and Albuquerque near the, y.jth parallel of nortl. latitude. li' i converge at Little Mock, in Arkansas, pursuing one line I hence to Memphis. The upper route proceeds directly west from Little Luck to l'ort Smith, on the western boumhuy of Arkansas, and thence through the Indian Territory and New Mexico, and across the Rio Grande at Albuquerque, and through William's Fork, to Los Angdos. The other deflects southwardly to Fulton, in Southwestern Arkanas, whence it takes a route across Texas to lit l'aso, and tlience through New Mexico and the Valley of the Gila to Sail Diego. Our readers know how short a connection opens Fulton to Marshall, in Texa>, the initial point of the Southern Pacific road, and thus opens the wholo line to l he Mississippi at New OiU-ans. Between these two routes the Postmaster General was called upon to decide, after excluding i lie nothern routes generally, and the South Pass and Salt Lake lines as impracticable. The first point was that of comparative length. In this the difference is too slight to he considered. ]">> the upper route, the distance from San Francisco to Memphis is estimated at 2,202 miles ; by tho lower _ route, at 2,222. i The subject of climate is the next topic. That of the Albuquerque route is affected 1 y the gicater height of the mountainous plateau in which it runs, which is nearly 3,000 feet higher than that of the El Paso line./ The result is that in the former there is often extremely sevcrt weather in winter. The thermometer often falls many Agrees below zero, and men on detached yduty are often badly frozen there. The / snow in the mountain psisses has laid two / f..~l \f 1- ? ! - j iwfc y 111 ihiucu> xiic temperature ai ' El Paso >3 compa atively mild ; the snow j never lies 011 tlio plains, and the thermometer never falls to zero. t In addition to this superiority of climate, / i'V.*.-" the I'll Paso route was asserted to have the preference from the greater range of well / - ? watered and eullivatahle country through which it passes. Of this, testimony is quo . to I from the reports of exploring oflicers? .' . * more particularly that of Captain John Pope, who, speaking of the immense region of desert which stretches down the interior of tliis continent, remarks that between the 32? and 33? of north latitude its continuity is broken, and that a broad belt of well watered and well timbered country projects into the " parched and treeless waste o' the , * plains," and approaches to within three hun? died miles of the Rio Grande, at El Paso. * The same fact is corametiled upon by Capt, Marcy. Of the country beyond the Rio Grande, lliA coma f?iunrtil\!o ' 4?*!

On some of the stations ono or two aitesian^ifells may bo required in the diy season. It is the ordinary track selected for the principal herds which are driven across the contiuent, as the only well water ?-ed. route.

It lasts lunger ami is more intense wliilo it endures. The dog that is going mad, feels 'ii well for a long lime prior to I he full development of the disease. He is very ill, l>ut he does not know what ails him. lie feels nasty; dissatisfied with everything; vexed without a reason ; very snappish.? Keeling thus, ho longs to avoid all annoyance by being alone. This makes him seem strange to those who are most accustomed to him. Tito sensation induces him lo seek solitude. But there is another reason which d cides his choice of a resting place. The light indicts upon him the most intense agony. The sun is to him an instrument of torture, which he therefore studies to avoid, for his brain aches and feels as if it were a trembling jelly. This induces the poor brute to lind out the holes and corners where he is least likely to be noticed, and into which the light is unable to enter. If his reheat is discovered and ilif> voice bids Iiim lo come forth, the affectionate creature's countenance brightens, liis tail beats the ground, and lie loaves bis biding place, anxious to o' cy the loved authority ; but before he has gone half the distance, a kind of sensation comes over bini, which produces an instantaneous change in his whole nppcarancc. lie seems to sav to himself, " Why can't you lot nie alone? do away. I >?? go away. You trouble, you pain me." And thereon lie suddenly turns and darts back into his dark corner. If let alone, there he will remain; perhaps frothing a little at the mouth, and drinking a great deal of water, but not issuing from his biding placc lo seek after food. His appetites are altered ; hair, straw, dirt, tilth, excrement, rags, tin shaving, stones, the most noisome and unnatural substances are then the delicacies for which the poor dog, changed by disease, longs for and swallows, in liope to ease a burning stomach. lie is now altogether changed. Stiil lie does not desire to bile mankind ; Jiy rather endeavors to avoid society ; he takes long journeys of thirty or forty miles in extent, and lengthened l?y all kinds of accidents, to vent his restless desire for motion. When on these journeys he docs not walk. This would be too formal and .measured a pace for an animal whoso whole frame quive swith excitement. He does liot run. That would be too great an exertion for a animal whose body i& the abode of a deadly sickness, lie proceeds in a slouching manner, in a kiud of a trot ; a movejnont ueither a run or walk, and his aspect is dejected. His eyes do not glare, and stare, but they are dull and ictracjcd. His I " appearance is very characteristic, and, if once&en, can never afterwards be mistaken, f.. m . .. an una aittiu uu win iravci mo most dusty roads, his tongue hanging dry from his open mouth, from which, however, there drops no foam. His course is not straight. How could it bo, sinco it is doubtful whether at this period he sees ft all ? His desire is to journey unnoticed. If no one notices him, lie gladly passes by them. He is very 'ill. Ho cannot stay lo bite. If, nevertheless, Ylnything opposes his progress, he will, as if by impulse, snap?as a man in a similar stale might strike, and tell the person to get out of his way,. He may take his road across a Geld in which there is a Hook of- sheep. Could these creatures only make room for hiin, and stand motionless, the ^log. would pass on and leave them be hind uititijuicd. But they- begin to run, and'at. the. sound, the dog pricks up. Ilia entire nspcct changes. Rngo takes possession of him. "What made that noise ! lie pursues it with all the energy of madness, lie Hies nt one, then at another. ILo does not iftangle, nor is his bite, simply considered, (terrible. lie cannot pause to tear the creature he lias caught. He snaps and then rushes onward, till fairly exhausted and unable longer to follow, he sinks down, and the skfap- pas* forward to be no more molested. Ho may hate bitten twenty or thirty in his mad onslaught; and would have worried, more had his strength lasted, for the ftiror^ madness then had possession of him/' He may bo slain while on these oxcur sions; but if lio escapcs he returns home and seeks tho darkness and quiet of his former abode, llis thirst increases; but with it comes tho swelling of tho throat.? He will plunge his head into water, so ravenous is bis"desire; but not a drop of the liquid can he swallow, though its surface is covered- with bubbles fn ooosequenco of the effort he makes to gulp the smallest quantity. The throat is enlarged to that' extent which will.peimit nothing to pks&~v lie is the victim of the most horrible inflammation of the.8tomachr and tlut most intense inflammation the bowels.' llis state of suffering is moat pitiable.?

FEMALE DHESH."" Tho extravagance of female dress h outrageous. If your lino ladies did but know liow their fully Appears in tlic eyes of senuiblo men lliey would surely pause in their career. Wo will venture a word or two in explanation of what wo mean. One cause of extravagance is, obviously, the dread of being supposed to wear dresses that are not of the newest mode. Certainly the dresses of this season could not possibly have been furnished l>y tlioso of any preceding fasbion of our time. Whenco the dread of being supposed to wear tho same dress two ^cars together? Wo fear that Sovereigns 011 real thrones, as well as those of fashions, arc chiefly answerable for this. German, Polish, and Russian gentlemen arc not at all obliged to tho Dowager limpress of llussia, who exclaims, when a dress appears a second time in Court, " Ah my dear Countess, how well I know that brocade! What skill you have in preserving satins!" ller view of things has spread through too many Courts, by way of Vicuna. One true lady, an Arch-duchess, very nearly related lo two thrones, w.is so much struck by this mischief, that she appeared on one occasion, by way of reprimand, in a dress which sho had for fourteen years. That was long ago. Till somo sensible woman of suflicieut rank gives sueli rebuke lo the silly spendthrifts in her train, tho mimicry of tlio follies of loyally and fashion will go on, with such couscfpieiicbs as wo have seen. Meantime, if our fair readers could but imagine us an Arch-duchess, whispering a friendly hint behind a fan, we could tell them something which they ought to hear. There is a smile going round jut rope at the simplicity of the line ladies of England, France, and America, in their worship of Paris fashions. Bo cause :i beautiful young Empress found it convenient, giving an heir to llie throne, to revive the fashion of full pctticoats?com lug as near llie hoop-disguise as possible? what must old do wages and young maidens do but copy the dress without tho excusc ! The public of all countries are less blind ; and they arc watching for a less or more disguising dress ill all countries where there is an aristocracy, according to the prospect of a series of heirs to the French throne, or of there being oidy one. We need say 110 more. Dowagers and high-born and highly-dressed maidens cannot recall the past, nor prevent the world smiling at it. They had better take oil' their flounces and draw iu their skirts, resolve to bo more indepenliAvt concAn " 1 - -11 11 ...... UV...1VM, Him iiuuvu mi, pity an debts at onec for that which is gone.

Suddenly a rushing noise wa heard, when, bursting through a vacate* tent, came two wild and furious horses frightened by the glare of the lights an< the sounds of the shouts of praise an< cries for mercy that wailed out upon tli otherwise stillness of thoniglil; they utter ly disregarded all efforts to arrest their pro gross, but back and forth, over the seal and among the crowd they galloped luri ously onward, spreading dismay and tcrro all around; cries for help and shrieks o frightened women weut up from all part of the enclosure except tho altar where tli intensity of the seeker and the laborer a their united cries for mercy ascended to gather to heaven, had forbidden disturbanc from the confusion without.
