We have no fears of the road he'mjt permanently injured by this block ado. U is just hiich thing.- tliat show the American character charac-ter to advantage, for the irreprnible viui,whieli i.s a leading uharautcriilic ot the American people, luvea to encounter and surmount, rather than quail bo-fore bo-fore or retire from, dilUeuliie.s. The prospects thin morning of the trains noun getting through are much brighter. KUcwhero we publish tele-grama tele-grama from various sources on tho condition con-dition of tho road and tho whereabouts of tho trains. Tho one from Messrs. Dullcll & Cowles will bo read with special interest, a.s it comes from men who have broken tho blockade fr themselves. Tho three telegrams to lion. C. W. lirooks, with the Japan-cue Japan-cue Kiiiba.sy, coming from General Superintendent Sickles of the U, 1. K. H., and James (Jampbell, E-q.,thc agent of the C. I. K. H. at Ogden.can also bo accepted as entirely reliable. Mr, lirooks has kept up a regular telegraphic tele-graphic correspondence on the hiihjeut, anxious fur the Kmbassy to get through the first opportunity; and ho has kept fully ndvi.-cd of tho condition of the road. Tho parts blockaded have been betweeu Archer and llaruey, this .side of Cheyenne; from Cooper's Lake to l'erey, still further westward; from 1 Kawhns to Washakie, and in places between Bitter creek and Kclio. Yesterday Yes-terday morning the Kricson snow plow was started out from this city, to be tried on the road, and it was reported lust night that it had cleared a hundred miles of track; but we could not obtain ob-tain reliable information confirming tho statement, although anxious thai the news might prove cornet. There is u hotel car coining fur the Kmbassy supplied with u mouth's provisions, und tho following l'ull-inan l'ull-inan palace cars arc alo en route westward: The Finite Valley, Woodstock, Wood-stock, .Northwest, .Laramie, ian Fraii-eirco, Fraii-eirco, Columbia, Michigan, Summit, Central Cily, Sacramento, America, Winona, Miuncsota and Humboldt, with tho dining car Algoma. On (he first of these that arrive tho Embassy will depart, and will be pushed through with all expedition. No doubt there are many who arc desirous of proceeding eastward, and who would wth to go on the same train as the Embassy, but it must be obvious ou a little reflection, that tliis will be imposMble. There ate over a hundred persons connected with tho Kmbus.-y, more than often go on one of tho overland trains; and the arrangements specially made for them, including the hotel car, cannot can-not legitimately bo extended to ordinary ordi-nary travel. But with the road once open, there will be opportunity for all to go eastward without the prospect of a detention such as that which is now caring a close. Tho following dispatch, was received re-ceived last nisht by Western Union lino, after tho above was written, and counrms the report concerning the success suc-cess of the Erie-son plow : Ogden, 9, p.m. It is paid tho Eric-son Eric-son snow plow, which left Ogden about 11 a.m. to-day, works splendidly, and to-night had only eleven miles snow cutting to make, to get to the snowbound, snow-bound, traius (coming west) near Crcs-lon. |
