At S a ' ^ Wc,ator8 bc ’ gan to arrive; at a quarter to9 a. in., the whisilc of the Central Pacific road is heard, amt the first train arrives, bringing a large number of passen¬ gers. Then two addiiional trains ar¬ rive on the Union Pacific road from the east. At a quarter to 11 a. m. the Chinese workmen commenced leveling the bed of the road, with pick and shovel, preparatory to placing the ties. At a quarter past 11 tlie Govern¬ or’s train (conductor Stanford) arrived. The engine was gaily decorated with small flag* and ribbon*—red, while and blue. The last tie i* pul iu place; eight feet long, eight inches wide, and »ix inches thick. It was made California laurel, finely polished and ornamented with a silver escutcheon, hearing the following inscription:— “ Thc last tie laid on the Pac.tic Rail¬ road, May 10, LS09 ” Thou follow (he name* of the dnectors and officers the Central Pacific Company, ami tlie presenter of the tie. Tho exact point of contact of the road wa* 1.0858-10 miles westot Omu ha, Neb., and 690 miles east of Sacra mento. The engine, Jupiter, of the Central Pacific Railroad, and the t'Jl gine 119 of tlie Union Pacific Rail road, moved up to within 56 feel each oilier. The manager of the com pany placed a magnetic hall 111 a con spicuous position, where all present could witness tlie performance, and and connected the same with the main telegraphic line, notify ing thu various offices of tlie country tliat lie was ready. New Orleans, New York, Bo» ton, and Chicago instantly answered ready. In .Sail Francisco the wires were connected with the lire alarm iu the town, where the heavy bell might spread the new* immediately over the city as quick as the event was com¬ pleted. Prayer was offered hy Rev. Dr. Todd, of Massachusetts. Brief remarks were then made hy Gentral Dodge and Governor 8tunloul. Three cheers were given for the government of theUui ted States, for the railroad for the President, lor tlie star snrangicd ban ner, for the laborers, and lor those respectively who lurnishcd ihe means. Four si>ikes were then furnished_two gold and two silver_hy Montana, Idaho, California and Nevada. They were each about seven inches long, and a little larger than the iron spike, Dr. llortense, of .Sacramento, in-pre sc-nting to Governor Stanford a spike of pure gold, delivered a short and appropriate speech. Thc Hon. T. A. Tritle, of Nevada, presented l)r. Du rant with a spike of silver, saying:— “To thc iron of the east, and the gold of thc west, Nevada adds Iter link of silver to span the continent and weld the oceans.” Governor Salford, of Arizona, pre scutiuganother spike, said: “Ribbed in Iron, clad in silver and crowned in gold, Anz ma presents her ottering to the enterprise that has handed the continent and welded the oceans.” Dr. Durant stood on the north side of the tic, and Governor Stanford 011 tho south side. At a given signal, these gentlemen struck the spikes, and at the same instant thc electric spark was sent through the wires, east and west. The two locomotives moved up until they touched each other, and a bottle of wine was poured, as a li¬ bation, on the last rail. A number ot ladies graced the cere¬ monies with their presence, and at 1 p. m., under an' almost cloudless sky, and in the presence of about 1,100 peo¬ ple, the greatest Vail road on earth was completed. A curious incident, connected with the la) ing of the rail, lias been hut little noticed. Two lengths of rails, 56 led, had been omitted. The Union Pacific people brought up their pair of rails, and the work of placing them was done hy Europeans. The Central Pacific people then laid their pair of rails—the work being done bv Mongo¬ lians. Thc former, iu both cases, being native American*. Here,near the cen¬ ter of tlie great American continent, were representatives of Asia, Europe and America—America controlling. The ludia-is were greatly astonish¬ ed at the locomotives and telegraphs. 1 When the first locomotive was *ccn passing over tlie plain*, an Indian k'Uide in the employ of thc United j Slates, exclaimed, with in< xprcsstble j surprise, “Good medicine, good incdi , ine! Look ! look at the lu-Ie-toot!” A* lie passed under the telegraph wire*, through which the wind as it swept made tlie whiir and singing ....... of .-q.rai. ie l.i.n ” ihi* ^..i.le 1 ‘ ’ . ‘‘‘aid , the . sound, , ai d . directlydedai-ed . , , . j‘hat they were talking “it edict ne.*’— Thi* was supposed to be the creative* of the Great Spirit, and everything of supcrnXtnral nature wa* “Medicine.” The Indians have rarely ever mo¬ lested tiic telegraph wire* which span thc continent. Shortly alter thc wire* were erected, the attaches of tiic tele¬ graph company invited a number ot Indian chief# to meet them at u given point, and |f party cast a they had 4 « hundred mdos apart, each invited to dictate a message rot%« oilier, which was sent over ttio wlffciK Then turning backward, liicynwic rapidly toward raoh other, anft n*et and compared astonished, notes, Tlicy'vrep greatly ami expressed themselves convinced that the**Great •Spirit*’ had talked to thcul with the wires. They decided from 1 that- tlm« it svoultl be well to avoid handling the wires. Soon after, a voting Sioux Indian' was determined to show that he tatg no faith In the “Great Spirit's eoiinre lion with tho wires. So he set to work with his hatchet to cut down one of the telegraph poles A severe tlimr der storiu was going on nl a distance: a charge of electricity being taken up bv tho wires, was passed to the i*de which the Indian was cutting, and resulted in his instant death. Aricr that occurrence the tribe nev cr molested the telegraph again. I bis main line of the Union Pacific Railroad ^ runs 105 miles north of Den ver, with a connecting branch from Lhcycne, Wyoming, to Denver, con nceting with the Kansas City Division ot tho Union Pacific. Leaving Denver one pleasant day in June la-t at 1:25 p. in., on what is known as the Denver Pacific Road, which is the connecting branch above mentioned, for a trip to Los Angelos and southern California, we were al¬ most duo north, pasting through a tine grazing and agricultural section of country. At a distance of 50 miles we stopped at the thriving little town of Greeley, winch was founded by and named for the late Horace Greeley.— It is a neat, thrifty little place of 5000 people, and a prohibition town from the foundation—there living a clause inserted in every deed of conveyance forfeiting the land and all improve¬ ments made thereon in ease of its be¬ ing used ,for or in any way connected with the liquor traffic. There arc no provisos or conditions of any kind, and as a consequence the drug stores cannot keep or sell it for any purpose without forfeiting their land, and it is iu reality a dry town, in every sense of the word. It is situa'cd on the Poudre (pro¬ nounced powder) river, iu a very fine, rich and fertile agricultural valley, which extends for 20 miles north of it. alter which the plains rise higher and the lauds arc not so good—being used mostly for grazing purposes. We reached Cheycnc (pronounced Shyan) on time, and gut an early sup¬ per, and a very good one, for we are now on tho main lincot the Union Pacific, and the Pacific company own and run their own eating houses along the entire line. P The train on the main line, however, was a couple ot hours late, and we had to wait for it. The time soon passed, aim our train rolled .n the depot, and stops lor supper; not long, for thc train is late, and is made up as follows: A double header, that is to say, two heavy locomotives in the lead; then comes two baggage cir*, one mail car, two emigrant cars, three second-class cars, three first-class conches, and four Pullman sleeper*— seventeen coaches in all. and every one crowded to its utmost capacity— and to tins train our sleeper is attach¬ ed, making the eighteenth coach. Well, the passenger* are through their supper*, and we hear the tamil iar cry of “All aboard !” and we are soon under way. By this time it is dark, and as there is noiiiing more to he seen before morning, 1 am soon in my berth for the night. Continued next week. T. From Moulli 4 'iai-olinu. From our traveling correspondent. Eixikkiki.I) S. C., Oct. 28. Editor Journ al : I have felt mot-c¬ at home tor the last week than I have since I left Georgia. My travels have been through a heavily timbered pine section—almost as level and fertile as our o.vn, and quite as well improved. Tliree-tourth* of the entire section over which I traveled last week is being cultivated, j and I feel safe in saving that two thirds of the cultivated atea is grow¬ \ ing in cotton. The people live hard, work haid, go in debt and die poor.— Of course l mean tlie laboring or cot¬ ton-raising class. We have lost more money through this section on broken merchants than any other part I hate struck yet, and almost every failure eau bo traced back a* the result of selling goods on lime. Nearly all the land* arc mortgaged, and at every cross-roads can he seen notices of pub¬ lic sales. No stock, grain or hay i* raised. Liquor is sold everywhere under heavy license, and taxes for thi* year, in most of tlie counties, i* $15 on thc $100. There arc two saloons In this town, and fourteen criminals in jail. Three for murders and most of the other* for misdemeanors commit¬ ted while under thc influence of whis¬ key. The street* here Saturday night were crowded with negroes, drunk and drinking, but owing to the vigi¬ lant watch of a faithful and fearless marshal, moderate good order pre¬ vailed. Sometimes all hands get in¬ toxicated, and then they have a gen¬ eral fight. A few years ago one of these town rows got up, and more than a hundred shots were fired. Four men perished ill the combat, and more than a dozen receive ! mortal wound*. Strange to say, but in the corporate limits of this town there arc seven churches—five white and two colored. The Baptist chuicli here is now with¬ out a pastor. Several week* ago their told them if they did . preacher not quit going to hallo and drinking beer Mild whiskey, he would give them up. So ne few submitted, but the majority went on visiting the bar and ball¬ room; *0, true to Id* promise, their pastor preached hi* farewell sermon three weeks ago and turned them over to their leader. The Methodist had a holine** meet ing here la*t month, which continued three weeks, and many professed sanc¬ tification. Their religion, though perfect, does not prompt some of them to vole prohibition ticket*, a* wa* shown in a recent election, and some few cneonrge the traffic with their vote* and means. The recently retired Baptist minis¬ ter here declares lie will not preach 1 . * I**- 1 * -“i* 10 " keep them from drinking whiskey, socking the soi-iety of profane, wick »l tnett and attending ball*.
