The Grass Valley Union, speaking of
our article headed “Willa Railroad
Pay,” says: “Our neighbor of the Ne
~vada TRANSCRIPT proves conclusively,
in ite yesterday’s issue, that a railroad
would pay, if i¢ were ran into this
county as far ae Nevada City, through
Grass Valley. We: have wever had a
doubt on that pr
guageof a distinguish raiiread man
of England, we believe that no country
‘is too poor to have a»railroad; we bebeliéve further, that there is no country but will grow richer by having railroads through it. Why then do not our
people move. in such matters? We
have a community, taking the two
towns of Nevada City and Grass Valley,
which is wealthy enough to build sixwant enterprise ? We think they have
that, since the immense works in canals for mining purposes have been
constructed in this county ander the
most disadvantageous circumstances.
These canals cross great canyons, are
put through recky ridges and are hung
on the faces of precipices. They cost
immense sums of money, and have
proved ‘to be profitable. A railroad
which presents much fewer difficulties
in the way of engineering, and whic
is bound to be profitable, with honest
management, can. find no. bailders
among us. Have the gia in: enter

After speaking of the investments by
sts abroad, and showing the
t of savings banks, in drawing
iway the earnings of men of small
means,the Union truthfully says: “We
must have, therefore, more of a stay-athome,money, and less of the hurry of
sending off our coin, if we wish to
build up oar county. There is no more
difficulty about the permanent value
ot home securities for money loaning
purposes than there is about the permanency of San Francisco securities.
San Franciaco is to be « large: city, and
‘we hope it’ will reach the full measure
. Of ite ambition at a very early day ; but
before it can bea very large place, it
must have a great and well developed
country around it. That great development must seach even the foot hills,
before the city will feel the full effect
of the stimulus of country development.
‘We consider it entirely safe, then, to
purposes, Indeed, unless this is done,
those who have already made for themselves non-portable property here, will
see their wealth steadily decline,

to “The Mayer of Nevada City, San

A 8HorT time ago, a gentleman whose
monetary interests in the Stock Exshould receive consequent on the war,
+waited an important telegram in Wall
street, which was to him the success or
therwise of a very hazardous speculation he had made. The state of his
uervous excitement was .su excessive
during the time he waited, that when

safety of his venture, the reaction was
se great that he went raving mad.

walked up to him, put his hands on his.
shoulder and said, “I want you.” A
-eonsiderable portion of the money has
been recovered, and there is no doubt
now but that all the robbers have been
arrested. ; yA
THE ARREST oy GILCHRIST.—It ap
pears that Gilclirist, who was arrested
in Sardine valley on the charge of robbing the ‘train, was twice arrested—
once by Nels Hammond, formerly ‘a
stage agent at San Juan, who was accompanied by an: officer. Gilchrist
thanaged to aliay their suspicions, and
shortly after James Burke, of Truckee,
came up. A correspondent of the
Union gives the following details of
citizens, returning with .others from a
hunting excursion in, Sierra, valley, .
called for dinner at Parson’s. While
dining, the circumstancés of the robbery, suspicions and arrest, were related. Burke felt interested, and resolved to investigate. He conversed.
with Gilchrist,and detected agitation,
but could get no clue, While this was
going on,.Mrs. Parsons, with the perception and restless curiosity of woman, having noted Gilchrist’s every
movement, resolyed to investigate on
her°owm account. Haviag seen Gilchrist visit an out house, and return
quickly, as the agent and officer approached, she rightly conjectured that
he might have left evidence--of guilt.
So, providing herself with a candle,
alter brief searchiag discovered gold
coin in the vault, recently hidden,
which she hastened to’ report. Burke,
no lenger in doubt, quickly and unob,
servedly got his Spencer’s rifle, and at
a favorable moment brought. it .to
bear on Gilchrist’s breast, demanding
surrender, which was accorded with
the utmost nonchalance, the prisoner
demanding by what authority. Burke,
equally cool, patted his Spencer while
yet in position, and replied “it was
that ;” however,when Gilchrist was informed that coin had been found, bis
agitation was plainly apparent.
