INCREASE oF PoruLATion.—It is exbe completed between the East and the Pacific Coast next Spring, and it is likely that a lively opposition will spring up! between the railroad and the steam— ets.’ Freights and fares will be kept at papel scan the travel, both Ways, will bevextensive. The Denefits will result to'this State by the immigration of Western men who will come to purchase land, and engage in and grazing. While this will continae to yield large gel for years to come, there is no dou bus that our richest mines of wealth are in the favorable climate, fertile soil and commercial advantages; and every man who makesa “apear of or a tree to grow” where nohe gigw before, is a real benefactor to the State. Therefore the farmers of the West who will come among tig t the coitipletion of the railroad and bring be, heartily welcomed by pa people. ‘The thousands of actes of land, unoccupied, which will produce abundant pr sev te the. labor of the husbandmian, should be made to do ite part toward sustaining and increasing thé wealth of the State. onetenth of the land available for agricultural purposes in this State is under eultivation, and yet our products ‘are of great importance. Our want is such farmers as have made the Great West what it is; men who are willing to enter upon new ground and are able to wait until it yields its harvests, We ate éonfident that many such will come during the next-two years, and make thetiiselves lioriés on this coast. In anSee re oot Union in the Yield of. how hegventan f grain and fruits. Tas Wurre PINE ‘TRADE.—Many persons think that large fortunes will be made in White Pine and adjoining distriété, in the Spring, and California traders will no go in swarms with stocks of goods, to the new district. It would be well for those who desga going to White Pine, to remember that with the completion of the railroad) communication will be opened with the markets of the east, and commodities will be farnished thence cheaper than they can from California, and as the road will be opened next season the time to sell goods af very large profits will be short. The merchants of Austin and other towns of Nevada have already started business at White Pine, and will be able to control the trade for the Winter, Many more will no doubt ge in early in the Spring, and the man who starts from California with a stock of goods for that market will take more chances than pradent business men care to take. Tho cost of transportation will be very high, and ‘it is ques-: tionable whether, under most favorable circumstances, the clear profit would be larger than in California. Ee THe Carrron.—A gentleman who’ has recently visited ento informs us that the work on.the new Capitol is being rapidly pushed forward, and that by the of the Legislature hg » and Assembly chambers will for use, The building conample room for all the business of the State, including apartments for State officers, committee rooms, Supreme Court rooms, etc. When completed the building will compare favorPahoa mrnqhare in the nion, Ktnvauaih Fuaupa~-Vea Wyck, who has been engaged in the investigation of revenue frauds, says the same frauds!exist in kind as existed a year ago, but that they have decreased in consequence of a decrease of the whisky tax.

Eastern Bengal will undoubtedly suffer another famine, perhaps as terrible as that which rendered the mere mention of Orissa a synonym for the most frightfal Ce ta James H. Creamaae, who was shot while robbing a restetrant in San Francisco, is said to have once resided in this. county.. After being shot he gave his name as Calhoun: He also resided in Auburn and in San Francisco then a good-hearted, well-to-do man. He had family difficulties, and he and his wife separated. He sank to the grade of a petit thief and was killed in an act of robbery. His wife lives ina house of ‘ill-fame in San Francisco. A TEXAN, writing to the St. Louis Republican, urging the construction of @ Tailroad from St. Louis to Texas, says that between the Nueces and Rio Grande rivers there are 1,000,000 head of horned cattle, and 10,000 head of horses and mules. The trade of San Antonio with Mexico amounts. to $8, 000,000 annually. It would take a railroad fifty years to carry all the cattle in Western Texas to St. Louis. The cattle in that country are being killed for their hides alone. He says such arailroad would not only make St. Louis the stock market of America,but would develop the finest copper, coal and silver mines in the world. i Tue NExT ADMINISTRATION.—In a speech at a banquet at Philadelphia,on Saturday night last, Speaker Colfax said, relative to the. incoming administration that the most searching retrenchment, honesty,efficiency and high character in all connected with the public service, and rigid guardianship of the Treasury against unwise and extravagant schemes should prevail. A financial policy which shall maintain oar credit untarnished, appreciate our currency, and place us on a firm rock, should be adopted. A STAGE line is to be started from Visalia to White Pine, distance of 450 miles. The stages will yass through Valley, Sprig Panamint, Sen Antonio and Pahranagat districts. A.2. Thoms, formerly owner of the o ition stage line between this city and Grass Valley in olden times, is proprietor of this line of stages. A NEw Insurance company in England has been started to compensate such of ite members as may be turned out of house or workshop in consequence of voting on the wrong side. THE Chillicothe, Ohio, Gazette, says that two citizens: ‘of that place have,one twenty-three, ‘and the other twentyfive living children—each man having now his third wife. _ Te Hon. Fernando Wood says that .Afelected for just another term to Con‘gress, he will, at the.expiration thereof, forever retire from the arena of politics. THE Denver News states that Wells, from Denver to Cheyenne at from six to eight dollars. ~o naa Nevapa, th h her local papers, will soon acquire the title of che Deeeke enest City in California.”"—Grase Valley Not while Grass Valley continues to flourish.
