DENVER PaAcrFic R. R.—During our stop yesterday at Cheyenne, we had the pleasure of seeing the regular morning train from Denver City arrive, to connect with trains on the trans-continental line. The Denver road, one hundred and ten miles long, was opened through its entire extent, only a week since. The arrival, while recalling regrets that our party could not accept an invitation by the Mayor of Denver to visit that city, so rapidly increasing in importance, suggests for the future, excursions made easier to the magnificent parks and sub- lime mountain scenery of Colorado—al- ready named, and justly, we are told— the Switzerland of America. —_—————— — Just east of Laramie station, we passed Fort Saunders, where great ac- tivity seemed to exist, and the post, which had the stars and stripes waving gaily over it, appeared to be well garri- soned.
