Marysville and points 40 miles up. continues at the rate of one cent per) pound, it may be doubted whether . or not any such diversion will take place, One thing is certaia, if any . sucu change of traffictakes place, it) mast be preeeded by reded by a radical change: : ia-the ‘roads, which are .at present! 1; entirely unfit for thepurposes_of . such commerce. According tothe . Union, the people of Grass Valley . ate agitating such a new line of ¢-m-! munication as will secure them the . Ridge trade; but the faet is, if Nevada-City 1s alive to its own interest, it f of the surface. fias literally the “inside track” is tae matter, in a line some. itution shorter to’ Pike City, and 15 miles to. Downieville. The route, too, is not only perfeetly feasible and _inexpensive, but is-such-as-to—afford-an—excellent road over but a moderate . grade. From Nevada City to Purdon's Mining at You Bet.

Both of these. gentlemén reeeutly made speeches in Congress, ~ their differenee in tone is woraclasion of his speech, said: **Bat to yon, gentlemen, who seek . still ¥o-¢ontinne strife, and whe, not sausfietk with the sufferings already rendured, the blood already shed. the waste already commiited, insistthat we shall be treated as criminals and The Walbiipa ondalne Scar" Uppressed as victims, only ‘because ground, which varies in depth, bat will average 150. feet. -In this claim . the Superintendent is Bat Pelt mee The Red Dog, which is located at . : the village of Red Dog, about 144 miles from You Bet, coftains 140} actes.

They voted for universal amnesty— Jeff Davis included. -They_thought ——*“igovereign’’ States had a Fight to, _ withdraw from the Federal Union iu 1860, and that the Getieral Government hed no right to coerce a “‘sov_ereign’’ State. Amd that those_went.marehing. under Grant and Sherman at the command of the Government, were-—invaders, —-andwere making the South suffer—as S Jeff Davis calls it in bad recent let‘ter—"‘causeless wrotg.* “Those whe believed in the “‘sovereignty"*-of the States in 1829, thought that whenever laws should be passed distasteful to -w State; that State had the-zight,in+€ity aud Duwnieville. spite of Congress, in spite of its. laws, ia spite of everything, to deelare such legislation unlland void _—-withia ber own territorial litpits. ‘Not “only was this prineiple put forth in theory, but the theory was -go0n after pat into practice in South . Carolina. But the theory and its ‘advocates were soon. knocked into one stamp of his foot, and it is probable that present or future advocates of the same-theory.-will find. themselves brought up with a short snub whenever they attempt to carry it into practice. Yes, there is a great difference between those who believe States are ‘sovereign’ and those who believe the nation should be ‘‘sovereignu.”* will ever get on the same side of that guif, but it is certain the States’ side will always be ina great minority, and’ can never enforce their views as ‘Jong as the nation reniains one and “undivided. Getting Even. The Legislature; the present session is largely. Democratic. Any measure the Democrats desire to see pases, they can just bustle through ' both houses se quick that it will make an outsider’s head swim. The Legislature, or a majority of the aiientbers composing it, voted for the Rev. O. P. Fitagerald for Sfate Superintendent. The fight for that office was a persistent one, and all his supporters were very much chagrined when they found out that he was defeated, They es to dislike Professor Oarr during the cam--paign, and they could not ovecome that hatred when he received an election. It seems to be a failing that party haste want to.rule-or ruin. If things go as it Wants them . to, all is well, but if not, it will raise the devil! Elect its man and it will stay inthe Union, defeat him und it will secede. Because Fitzgerald was defeated, the party being in powerin the Legislature’ propose to rob his sucoessfal opponent of all. the honors aud usefulness of the office to which he was elected by a mu‘jorify of the people of the State. It is doubtful if all}: bridge the present route issuch as can be readily widened and improved, Crossing the ¥aba at. this . point an easy grade out of the caiion is found by following an Indian trailabout a half mile west of the present road way. Striking White's who i ranch over Montezoma Hill, an-ex-. eellevt route-is fonnd northward to Shady creek,.at @ point near the Brophy homestead; thenee along the north bank of Shady creek as far as . the Rathburn ranch, and thence over ‘the old stage route, through Carey's ranch, to the old Emory crossing of the Middle Yuba; thenee to. Pike Vity, and up the ridge to Forrest It will be seen that the rouie passes over no mining ground, and can not, therefore, be Washed away; and further, . the right of way will be freely granted by the land owners. Whe people of Yuba and Sierra counties are willing to-co-operate inthis matter, even ao far as the erection of the necessary Emory Crossing bridge; and there can be no doubt but the project would benefitnot only Nevada section, One thing is certain, if a close connection is to be maintained between the ridge region and Nevada’s county seat, no moré feasible route than that I have described can be found, Yours &c.

Amd that those_went.marehing. under Grant and Sherman at the command of the Government, were-—invaders, —-andwere making the South suffer—as S Jeff Davis calls it in bad recent let‘ter—"‘causeless wrotg.* “Those whe believed in the “‘sovereignty"*-of the States in 1829, thought that whenever laws should be passed distasteful to -w State; that State had the-zight,in+€ity aud Duwnieville. spite of Congress, in spite of its. laws, ia spite of everything, to deelare such legislation unlland void _—-withia ber own territorial litpits. ‘Not “only was this prineiple put forth in theory, but the theory was -go0n after pat into practice in South . Carolina. But the theory and its ‘advocates were soon. knocked into one stamp of his foot, and it is probable that present or future advocates of the same-theory.-will find. themselves brought up with a short snub whenever they attempt to carry it into practice. Yes, there is a great difference between those who believe States are ‘sovereign’ and those who believe the nation should be ‘‘sovereignu.”* will ever get on the same side of that guif, but it is certain the States’ side will always be ina great minority, and’ can never enforce their views as ‘Jong as the nation reniains one and “undivided. Getting Even. The Legislature; the present session is largely. Democratic. Any measure the Democrats desire to see pases, they can just bustle through ' both houses se quick that it will make an outsider’s head swim. The Legislature, or a majority of the aiientbers composing it, voted for the Rev. O. P. Fitagerald for Sfate Superintendent. The fight for that office was a persistent one, and all his supporters were very much chagrined when they found out that he was defeated, They es to dislike Professor Oarr during the cam--paign, and they could not ovecome that hatred when he received an election. It seems to be a failing that party haste want to.rule-or ruin. If things go as it Wants them . to, all is well, but if not, it will raise the devil! Elect its man and it will stay inthe Union, defeat him und it will secede. Because Fitzgerald was defeated, the party being in powerin the Legislature’ propose to rob his sucoessfal opponent of all. the honors aud usefulness of the office to which he was elected by a mu‘jorify of the people of the State. It is doubtful if all}: bridge the present route issuch as can be readily widened and improved, Crossing the ¥aba at. this . point an easy grade out of the caiion is found by following an Indian trailabout a half mile west of the present road way. Striking White's who i ranch over Montezoma Hill, an-ex-. eellevt route-is fonnd northward to Shady creek,.at @ point near the Brophy homestead; thenee along the north bank of Shady creek as far as . the Rathburn ranch, and thence over ‘the old stage route, through Carey's ranch, to the old Emory crossing of the Middle Yuba; thenee to. Pike Vity, and up the ridge to Forrest It will be seen that the rouie passes over no mining ground, and can not, therefore, be Washed away; and further, . the right of way will be freely granted by the land owners. Whe people of Yuba and Sierra counties are willing to-co-operate inthis matter, even ao far as the erection of the necessary Emory Crossing bridge; and there can be no doubt but the project would benefitnot only Nevada section, One thing is certain, if a close connection is to be maintained between the ridge region and Nevada’s county seat, no moré feasible route than that I have described can be found, Yours &c.
