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—

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

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.

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

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.

speech at a banquet at Philadelphia,on

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.
