Topeka L Santa I’e railroad. They notice this vast undertaking only in short items, inci dently referring to the actual commencement of the work lt;»:t the road ns a blulT game, on the part of the broad gunge, to bant tin* narrow guagc out of the trade of New M x-ten. They do not want to believe that the Atchison read really menu* business in this southern extension: they cu't tmt persuade tlieutselv that it is so, mid they will not til their readers about it. even if they think so. Why are these usually enterprising papers so loth to give information in their columns, in regard to thin enterprise?Tho reason is, no doubt, that they correctly anti.ip-ite that with u broad guage road and direct eastern commotions, the trade cf Now Mixieo will not all go tlnongh Denver. Tbnt is the trouble.They fondly expected to keep the world in ignorance of the real re-amir ecu of N'uw .Mexico, to convoy the i lea that it was a country poor and worthier, that a railroad coul 1 not afford to build into it; and by that means forever ktep it tributary to Denver, ova a single line of railroad.But theao dreams are now Hang dissipated; work h at been common* ted oh the Atchison ro.i l south, and soaner »r later it wi! extend southwest, tlirough Now Moii.'o open-itig up thu most populous, most for-tile and richest ugriiultuial and ininenl districts. By it, Denver will be brought in direct competition with Kansas City, St. Louis and Chicago fur •» Mexico trade, and tbcrtfmo the h pea against hops that the ronl will not real y be hu.lt. It may be rough on Denver, but tboti it i* good fur New M co. Ujr northern epi;ternj,u.arie» will not take the pmper course, however.
