California And Missouri Stage Route.—It is a matter of extreme gratification, to learn that the people of Missouri are as much alive to the importance of a stage route, between their State and ours, as we are in California. On the 23d of December, a meeting was held at St. Louis, in the office of the North Missouri Railroad, to consider the practicability of establishing a line of stage coaches from the frontier line of Missouri to Sacramento. The meeting, after a free and full consultation upon the subject, and hearing and weighing the opinions of intelligent gentlemen, well acquainted with the various routes across the plains, unanimously adopted resolutions in favor of the proposed measures, and that application be made at once to the State Legislature for a charter, and that a committee be appointed to draft a charter, and also a committee to correspond with parties in California who are reported to have already taken steps towards a similar coach line from the western end. The meeting then adjourned, to meet on the call of the President, when the charter will be presented and considered.—Marysville Herald.
