From. the New Yo_rlc’TFzb’u7le:
\\'H1'1‘NiaY's‘.itA'-initoim To THE
_, PACIFIC.
,, Ville‘ ha‘ve‘,b'efdre us the very able and
i‘nté'resti"t'i’g ‘eport of Senator Breese upon
th‘i'8 friagnificent project. The project. ful-
y and clearly set forth, and discussed un-
der twelve different heads, showing the
power of Congress over the entire subject;
its practicability, adequacy of the proposed
means, and the expediency of their appli-
cation thereto; its cflects upon all the
Public Lands in every part of the Country;
its effects upon the Mineral resources of
the.Country; its effect in extending the
Internal Trade of the Country; its, effect
in extending our Commerce with China,
with Japnn,and with all Asia, as well as
the Islands in the Pacific and the West
Coast of North and South America ; its
consequences in fostering the VVhale and
other Fisheries in the Pacific ; its use as
a great Highway of Nations; and the con-
sequence that would result from its con-
struction, in a Moral, Political and Military
point of view, to_the American Union.
‘As this will be a leading and most im-
portant subject before the People until
Congress at its next session shall have ac-
ted upon it, it may not be uninteresting to
our re.aders'to have a short sketch of its
history thus far, which we will give in ad-
vance ofa farther notice of the Report:
Mr. Whitney, the projector of this stu-
pendous \\'0l'l(_, returned to this city from
China about two years since. He was in
China nearly two years, and there collec-
ted the statistics and information of the
Commerce of that vastEmpire, of all Asia
and of the Islands of the Indian Ocean;
and there matured in his own mind this
magnificent project, which if carried out,
is to change the great current of Trade
and affect the condition of nearly all Man-
kind. On the 28th of January, 18-15, his
Memorial, praying the grant of Lands for
the construction of this work, was pi-esen
ted to the branches of Congress; in the
Senate by Hon. D. S. Dickinson. and in
the House by Hon. Zadock Pratt, both of
this State. It was referred to the respec-
tive Committees on Roads and Canals. The
Senate Committee had not time to act up-
on it. The House Committee (Hon. R.
D. Owen, Chairman) made a report in its
favor. The Memorial and Report were
printed and published to the world. Some
laughed, some were astounded, and some
called it a humbug. Mr. \Vliitney heeded
them not, but persevered, with an energy
determined on success. \Vith a very
small party, and without a guide, he pass-
ed over more than 800 miles of the pro-
posed route, the‘greater part of which lay
through an entire wilderness, without hab-
itation of man and only known to the sav-'
ages.
On the character of this 800 miles he
predicated the success of the whole work,
these furnishing the means for nearly 1600
miles of the Road. His hopes were more
than realized; the lands were better than,
! Deal/z from swa.’lourz'ng (I Co’72 r-igltf _i,-erirs-_
had been expected, and he was satisfied
that the work could he done with the
means proposed.
At the commencement of the last ses-
sion, Mr. Vllhitney again presented it Me-,
morial to the Senate, in which body it was?
referred to the Committee on Public Lands,
composed of the highly distinguisliel gen-
tlemen : Senators _ Breese, , (Chairman)
Morehead, \/Voodbridge, Ashley and Chal-
mers. The Memorial was printed with a
map shoigting the route, and published to
the wor .
The Committee investigated the subject
in all its bearings; they had it before them
(‘luring the entire long session, and finally
- rought in an ‘unanimous Report strongly
in its favor, with a bill for the grant of the
lands prayed for, which bill was read and
passed to a second reading and the Report
ordered to be printed for the use of the
Senate-. Thus, then, this mighty work is
by the Committee made to appear not only
feasible and practicable but of absolute
necessity and vital importance to us as a
Nation and to all mankind, as it is shown
by the map accompanying the Report that
the opening of this Road will force the
completion of all the d-ifferent routes nowl
commenced from the Atlantic to it, and‘
when all shall have been completed, the
grand centre of our great country will be
not far West of the Missouri River and at
thirty miles per hour by Railroad, the
whole country from Ocean to Ocean can
be brought together at this centre in three
days, and the ex-trem-es of the entire Globe
to the same cent-r«e .iii twenty-five days,
thus making the centre -of our continent
the centre and thoroughfare-of the world.
The important results to ans as a nation and
to-the world are be-yond l-ll-C power of im-!
mag-iaation to predict. The Report sayszl
“The Conitni-tree have -re ison to believe that,
from The exciting intxzircstlwhicli would not fail
to surround £1115 iindclitttliillg wliep once begun,
the pressure for acquisition and investments in
sale of these lands to accommodate settlers
only, and we understand it to be Mr.
Whitney’s plan that the settlers may buy
in such lots as their ineans- will permit,
and for one half cash and the other half in
labor on the Road. Thus every man (al-
most,) on the Globe may have a home, a
farm, and if he will work a comfortable
living, and in fact the land does not cost
him anything, for the money \\'l1H=ll he
gives with his labor, is not taken from
him, but expended upon the Road Wlllcll
four corners of the earth, in exchange for
necessaries and luxuries which he cannot
produce, and \\l|l.'.‘ll he could not get Will]-
out the Road. it allows him to conimii-
iiicate with all the earth, himself in the
center, surrounded with jlenty, comfort
and happiness, which can be produced only
by this road; forlwere the lands given
him without price, there could never be a
concentration of means and persons to
construct such a work. Tlierefoie we
cannot believe any one will oppose that
which is to benefit all, and we feel that it
must succeed; and all that is now wanting
public feeling in its favor.
COLl.1Sl0.\'.-—An extra ‘train of cars de-
spatched on \Vednesd:iy last, from this
city, came in collision with the regular
train, from New Milford, at a curve this
side of Newtown. The inacliinery of the
locomotives, and _the frame of some ‘.2 or
3 old care, were considerably broken up,
but no person was seriously hurt. The
train from New Milford was heavily load-
ed, and going quite slow at the time.——
Otherwise the damage would have been
more serious.—Bri'dgeport Farmer.
\Ve have heard a report, ivhich seems
to have some foundation, that a man named
Durgee, a blacksmith and :1 Philadelphia
blacklcg, name not known, bud a quarrel
one day last week, at Botsford’s depot, in
which the bluckleg was l‘0ll_l."llly lmntlletl.
He swore revenge, followed Durgee in the
same train to New Milford, and there stab-
bed him with a dirk or bowie knife, so
badly that he was not expected to recover.
About 1000 wagons will be required in
all to convey to Santa Fe the provisions,

than a l000 teauisters :ln_‘.l attendants.
This will form a new era on the Santa Fe

Rev. Dr. Woods of Aiidover is said to
have resigned his Professorship in the
the fertile part of these lands and in the vicinity
of so extensive a work, would place their valui;
at least tit the minimum price ofthc Public lauds. .
The Committee, tlioreforo, incline to believe’;
that the nicaus proposed are abundantly suf-'1
flcient for the end in view, and have no doubt of-.
the expediency of applying such means to this-l
great end. It must be recollected that. tliesol
lands, tlirougliout the entire distance, are so im-
inodiately connected with the opening of the;
Road, that their niaiiagenient and disposition’
should, in the opinion of the Comiiiittce, form a
separate and distinct system, dependent; upon
the progressive‘ coiistriictiou of the Road; and it
sppears to the‘ Coiumittc'c that no plan could
possibly’ be devised that would be more advanta-
l
one than to’ onc'oui"ago" the settlement of those ,
ands our tli)Ie'1-i-no‘ of the Road. By this means
the two objects would act reciprocally updn
each other--the‘ Réoadl giving value to the Lands,
and theproceeis of the Lands contributing to
the construction of the Road. The Coininittee
cannot doubt that the American People would
consider that ll most important system which
would effect _so_ extensive a work for the benefit
of all the great interests of the Country without.
faxing any of those interests for the cofistruction
of it, and their approbation would not be with-

Rev. Dr. Anderson proposed that the
Board should spend it slioit time in, devo-
tional exercises, previous to the important
business. He said our entire dependence
sion:-'.ry efforts, reridered it peculiarly ap-
propriate to seek the blessing of I-leaven,
and that the great success of their Mis-
sions during the past year, afforded the
highest encouragement to seek such bless-
ings. _
Rev. Dr. Allen, of Mass. described the
first meeting of this Board, twenty five
years ago, when there were but twelve
persons present, eight of whom were no
longer living. Now the Board consisted
of €200 corporate members and about 500
honorary. He spoke ofilie very deep in-
terest felt in their meeting fifteen years
ago in this city by the late Dr. Proudlit, of
having met him alone in the town hall a
little before the time of meeting, when the
Dr. with deep emotion proposed to retire
to an arljoiiiiiig room for prayer.
At the close of these devotional exer-
cises, the Treasurer, Henry Hill, Esq. pre-
sented his Report, from which it appeared,
that the receipts of, the past year, were
