The California nml Oregon Hal I road. When this project was first proposed, we thought it vlilonary nml Imprncllcnblcnnd At least t wen I j years In advance of the times. Wc, therefore, were not inclined to nrgently solicit our citizens to nld it, until nmureil llmt the route proposed wns, prac ticable, and that capital could be found to build the road. Fully Impressed with the merits of tho enterprise, if found pr.ictlcu. Ilc, and aware of tho Inconceivably irreat liencfits that would accrue to our people from the creation of n great railway through the length of our State, wc Imvo watched with special IntercH tho progress nf the preliminary surrey now being made. Tho fear that grcit labor and expense would lie incurred In croosliiir, or tunneling tho HWilyou .Mountains, has been removed by tho report of tho Surveying pirty, that ihuc mountains can bo crossed with the very moderate grade o( eighty-three feet to the mllo and with that fear bos disappeared tho Utt lingering doubt that the route h rnlirely practicable for the building of 11 railroad from Murysvllle, Gal., to Portland, Oregon, wltii good and easy grade?, ami I . .- .. . This bctng tha case, it becomes our du ty, as it is our pleasure, to urge our people M a united nnd speedy effort in behalf of this L'rand and beniflcent undertaking In I without the necessity for a single tuQuel.jiiiwec, which they crave lor tin wncni, ui .. t .l : i ! ho encountered about tho who e (Joiiieileni- no oilier enterprise can the property-hold- j JKjjJ,,,, WM forwI ,oCl tack rs of ir Valley invest, wilh so good n,,,0ti distance, lie was not accustomed prospect fur future recompense.

JMrfin. multifarious roads In the Atlantic Stales. ,,. 0MK8TKA AcT.Aa there seems I hey have an undefined Idea that railroads t0 bo quite it misunderstanding as to tho cost such enormous sums of money, nnd re- bearing of the Homestead Act upon tho tiiilre such n vast deal of labor, than nny rights of pre emptors under the former acts .urn they might contribute would be but!'- ff&it.fiS urop in me ocean wwarus me vim amount necessary lo completo the buildiug . i of a railroad. Thousands of pioneers in Illinois and other Western Stales, not ma liy years ago, entertained the same Idea, And those States are now a network of railroads. Whenever the surveyor's report proved a route practicable, nod tha resour ces of the country gavo promise of their being eventually profitable, abundant capi tnl ban always been fouod to build the road. This enterprise will not prove an exception, lor tho road will traverse a region as rich in natural resources as traversed by nny other road in tho United States. .Millions of money, that now Ho (in the rusty vaults of capitalists, can bo bad to build tho road whenever demonstrated by tho engineer's report that It is entirely practicable. Many incontrovertable arguments Lave been used, favoring the bulldiog of this Toa4 by journals In California and Oregon, ea (be Hoe of tho road, nil of which Imvo done ancli to awaken a commendable in terest in their localities in favor of the pro ject; twit, hut out as we are from " all the tvtrM aod the rest of mankind," by high eomMndiag mountains, certainly no com inanity ua hope for such great and over reselling benefits to accrue to them from the building of the California and Oregon Kail road , as can the people of own our beau tlfal Rogue River Volley. It behooves us, then, to improve the golden opportunity bow offered for aiding the project, by con tributed to the preliminary furrey.

The rebels are again reported to lie evacuating Illehmoml. with the Intention of removing their capital and seat of war to Oeorgla. It Is possible that (hey deem It politic to thus concentrate their forces, nnd will give up Virginia; that they may retain tho heart of their bastard Confederacy for n death-struggle. How Much of a Kclicl Victory. The rebels claim the battle of Uhlcho manga ns a victory, but modestly "suppress rxulintlon " at tho thouaht of what re mains to be done to make it fruitful of any results. Their modesty Is not untime ly. They claim that, hating assailed How crans, they drove his lines back ten miles from Chattanooga. On the other hand, wc have been definitely ossiircd Hint Row crans' headquarters uru but four miles back or the battle-field of Saturday and Sunday. Suppose, when Leo was on thu rampage In Pennsylvania, Meade's assault on him had resulted in driving blm back four miles, or cren ten. from (ictiyihurg, and that (hero Leo bad held his position rare from nwault, nnsious for .Meade to show himself again and walling only reinforcements that were hourly e.ttiecled. Would that liuw been admitted by the rebels ns n defeat? Would the Union press bnvc claimed a vic tory for .Meade? The Richmond If Vug tnkrs tenable cround on the iturstion. It affirms that uuless Roi-cruii' army is cap tured or dispersed, iustcad of ii ictory.lt is simply a lost opportunity. Wc clnlm tint .Meade gained n victory at tlctlys bun: because the issue of the battles Ihero made It uecessary for Lee to retreat from free soil with great low und give up utterly his plan of Invasion. The Issue of the bat tle of last Saturday nnd Sunday does not compel Koseerans to rctlro even to Chat tanooga.

A pre emptor who has filed a declaratory patent cannot convert his prc-cmnllon Into a home stead claim. A proviso in the sixth sec tion of tho homestead law of May, 18C2, is tpeciUo on this point, in declaring llmt all persons have a right to inako the ex change II they have filed their declaratory patents prior to tha passage of the act of .May 20, 1862. Where tho partita have filed since the passage oi tho law, they have no right to make the exchange, und consequently when any person abandons his pre-emption, tho land is freely open lo the first homestead settler that may apply for It.

Alia. OBTHKopnr. The London corrcspon dent of the San Francisco Goldtn Era, nn accomplished Amerlcanln lady, relates the following astonishing cures oi ueiormcu persons : It is generally known how much enn be tlonc to avert lameness II niKen in iiiiancy. The wonderful Orllicnpirdic Iloiipllnl in Oxford strtet, hindou, supported solely by Mibscriptlnu, has tlono unpirnllclcd good. The urrntcU drawback to science Is Ignor- anre, nnd much of tlili prevails, among the lower clnses. Many parents In this rnnK or life, when n crippled child Is born lo them, shut their eves lo Its dcfurmlly, or look upon it as an unalterable dtcrre of Providence. Too orten liicy comrort mem selves with the thought llmt the Infant will outgrow It ; this Is usually a delusive hope, for when Iho dlseno Is nllowcd to go with out treatment It becomes confirmed. At best, It requires time, patience und eklll lo cure di fortuities. In one room ol the Or thcnpxdle Hospital are exhibited phutcr casts of nil the cases treated in the estab lishment. It Is difficult to reallsu that such hideous mnl formations can lie removed, but n enst taken before tho treatment, nnd that taken when the cure is complete, gives mi mislakeable evidences of how much science has done for thu lame ns well ns Iho blind. I noticed casts of n family nf flvo girls, two itom before tho cure of cripples by mechanical means was brought so nearly in perfection ns now. Thu two elder sis tern rcnnlned hideous dtfurmttirs nil their lives; the three younger were rent to the Ortheoprcdie Hospital and in the course of it few years came out straight backs, urms and legs. Not the least curlons part or Ihe history ol this rmnily Is that they were born with precisely the samo malformations, though ihe parents were well made people. Thu gutde to the hospital relates the case of n boy whose limbs were so hopelessly twisted when brought there, that the malnrlty of the doctors said nothing could be done un less Ihe bones were first broken, which they were afraid Iho patient could not endure nnd live. Rut Dr. Richard Tamplin, tit- most celebrated nf nil physicians In tills line, unt ertooit me cure on ins own iinniu- cd responsibility, nnd In begin he broke tho bones in order til ret them ngaln. Il needed only such skill and courage ns hU, with lime, lo send the boy away from the Hospital no longer n cripple, but n straight nnd well-formed youth. At the moment ol my visit tn the (Wlheopa.dic there was n little boy there who had been born with double club feet, uddetl to which the legs were turned in from Ihe knee, tnllor-fashlon, and the ntmi were turned nut from Iho el bow. Tlio apparatus which she wore was very complicated, and ubout twice every week a surgical operation wos performed on the feeti tn which tho heroine had be come so accustomed she never shed n tear or uttered n moan during It. It was not n very long whllo before feet, legs and arms were nil straightened. Many, many such cases might be cited. KniTiNti a Pai-kii.
