Pe LECTURING On .CALIFORNIA.—Goternor Bross, vf Iliavis, who recently visited the Pacific coust. in company with Schuyler Colfax, 1s to deliver the address before the aluwai of Williams’ College thie month. He bas delivered upwards of « hundred lecteres on California and the Pacific. conste: since hie returu East, and has done more thaw eny other man te call the attention uf Eastetn people tu the’ resources of the Tas Copyry sear.—A question invaly: ing the permanency of the Calaveras county seat, which baS Tong been contested, was ordered to issue, as prayed.fur,.

Ten thousand laborers are now employed between Alta and the summit, and the-C paty is anxious to hire three thousand more. Twenty miles more of track will . shortly laid, and it is the determinati the managing men of the Company, that the iron borse shal overlook the valleys of the State of Nevada by the of January. —“Whautever opinions may be entertained relative to the policy of the Government in granting so large a tespitary in the mining section of the State, tv a company, it cannet be denied that there is compensation and cousolation in tee fact that the company is engaged in a great national work, and doing it well. The objects of interest aleng the line of the road are few to the eyes of mountain men accustomed to such scenery.

You look down almost perpendicularly thousands of feet.~ The north fork of the American is far be. low looking like a yellow thread. The road from Illinois Town is seen winding down to the Fiver, and.on up the banke 6n the other side to Iowa Hill.: It is a fearful. view. “Should a train of cars ever run off in passing around “Cape Horn,” death to every living thing on board and complete destruction must inevitably result. There are quite a number of heavy outs and a great deal of filling between Colfax aod Alta; but tiding along in. the cars is 8 poor way of estimating. the magnitude -of such works. A slide in one 4f theee cuts cost:-the removal of more than a hundred thousand eubice yards of eurth. 2 The-grade wf the: suad above Colfax’ is nearly up to the maximum point allowed by law. One bundred and ‘sixteen feet is the bighestallowed. ‘The grade reaches one hundred and fourteen in several places. “A hundred and fuurteon is the grade along that ‘fearful spot, “Cape)Horu." pe The Railroad Coipany has didivulty in shipping its. iron, , Almost every vessel leaving New York bas a quantity un boatd but it dues aut orrive ag rapidly as could be wished.
