‘THe Ruaps+A perenne writing
to the Marysville Express, gives an account
of bis trip from Virginia by way of the Hens
ness Pass to Nevada. In going tothe Territory he took the Placerville route and returp.
ed by way of the Henness Paes. He says,
=————qfter crossing “the Big "Frackee at Stout's .
Bridge, welbore up a little nerth of west,
theo turnisg up the river, followed-its-wind=
ings for six miles. until we Teached=O' Neil's
Station, situated on the “bank;on one of the .
prettiest roads a stage ever rattled over.—
At O'Neill's -the-nver-hends off tothe southwest, and soon forms into a canon of }reat
depth. I-was told that the anticipated great
Pacifie Railroad was to pass down through
this gorge, opening out on the great plains
—ofHambolit-—Just-below-this,-at-theBig-+Meadows, will be the great distributing
point of all business, when the railroad is
completed. for Virginia e'ty, Caraon city,
Wasbve city, etc. At O’Neil’s we diverge
from the Truckee river, and look wpor. it for
“the last time, and continue west, andin a
short time begin to ascend quite a hill. called Dog Valley Hill. We ascend it for a
mile or mre, and soon come to Dog Valley, .
a splendid valley, spread out on our right. 4°
From Stampede Valley, says the eurres_pondent, we continued west, through sever.
al valleys, all mostly level, until we reached
the Little Truckee river, a beautiful stream,
winding ita wny out from the Sierras to the
Exsoon loatned that it was the
‘north branch of the Big Truckee river. We
followed up and slong its windings some dis”
tance to-ite head—Little Truckee Lake—asheet of water abaut ‘two miles wide, and
.water I ever saw, and is situated on the
Henneéss Pass. At this place I learned Dr.
Webber lived. I must say I begrudge him
ine beautiful home, We pass-on, and-in-a
fow-minules we were on-the summit. Here
the driver informed us was the aummit of
the Hennesa Pass. We were all surprised,
as we expected to see sone abrupt moun~ tain to ascend or cross, similar to that we
found on the Placerville road. Dut to. my
surprise I found a beautiful Igvel country,
almost as pretty ns the Sacramento Valley.
‘I could see high penks a long distance off to
our right and. left. Here, 1 must remark,
the road from Virginia city to this point sure
passes any mountain road I ever traveled
over, for a distance of fifty-eight miles. For
the first time we soon left the Truckee wa» ters, and began a decline grade on down the
Yuba -waters, We traveled on through a
beautiful cluster of Pines to Rosco's station. Thehée on and ina few mintues wo
arrived at Jackson's Ranch, a point where

following dowir the Middle Yuba; vin Forest +
city. Atthis point,we soon tovk the Henneas road which divurges to the southwest,
and leading. direct to Eureka and Nevada
city. This junction is six and a half miles
this side of the summit. We now leave the
Middle Yuba river, and bear southwest
about seven miles, crossing a low divide on
to Canon Creek, a northern tributary of the
South Yuba river, and soon arrived at Bowman’sranch. At thia place we fornd every~
thing nice and comfortable, a4 we had found
at the hotels all along, and ovur-wants readily
cared for,, From Virginia city to this point
~ Tfound'a road thatfar-exeels the Placerville
road. Bowwmaii’s ranch is situated on a deep
_indented stream, about 82 miles nbove Neva.
da city, and 71 or 72 milea from Virginia
city. At this point we began to ascend tho
hodvivet hill we had found. On the road between here nnd Eureka we -traveled buta
short. distance before passing Basaras toll
house, and then began the aeceut of the hill
towards Eureka.
Soon we arrived on the top of the ridge:
and began to drop off down te Eureka, and.
in a few minutes were in that~place. Here
we began to find @ change in the road. We
soon reached the Magenta flume, a structure
150 feet high, and the finest work of the
kind I ever saw. At thie point we ran
aguinet a big hill end a bad piece vf rond,
. but abort .Weadofi ascended it; ad in a
few minutes were at--Snow Tent Mill, a
splendid place end fine house. We proceed.
ed, and in a short time reached what is called
the Backbone, which is very properly nam.
ed. The ridge narrows down like a cornered
_ file, and resembles a crater formation, The
eit ploge at whith we errived was Leke

City.. At this place we struck the Sonth,
Yuba, a deep indected stream infront We
soon deseended.on a beautiful road, “but
rather steep, to the ridge, where we found a
narrow gorge. We passed on, and were soon
on top of the hill, south of-the Yuba river.—
This isa bad hill, and-doubdtless will be leit
out when the new rosd-is completed. We:
pro¢eeded, and in a short time were in Nevada City, and tomy surprise found it look:
“ing fine, although it sdffered greatly by the
fate fire. I-must say that for energy and
enterprise it reminded me of Virginia Ger:
