More than is required to effect the incorporation of the railroad company has
been secured, but it is desired to obtain
a full representation of dil the business’
interests of Grass Valley and Nevada,
and for that! object the preliminary
meeting has been appointed for Wedmesday next, as will be seen by notice
elsewhere. Until that time, all who
ubscribe will bé-emtitled to participation in the selectiom of temporary offi«ers. Citizens of Grass Valley can se«cure stock on application to A. Delano,
and citizens of Nevada may apply to
John Pattison.
' No enterprise has been started in
this county in which citizens so heartily
co-operate as in this railroad project.
No urging has been required, but a
simple statement of the object of the
organization. Many others are ‘willing
, and apxious to be identified with a
movement which all feel confident
will result in such great benefit to the
county. \
The following is the list with the
amounts subscribed by citizens of Nevada City and Grass Valley :

Thé committee had only a short time
to spend in Grass Valley, and many of
the citizens whe would havesubscribed
were not called on; an opportunity
will, however, be given them at Mr.
Deland’s ‘bank.
From what has been already done
since Saturday morning, our people
may judge of the probability that the
work will-be accomplished, The most
sanguine expectations of those who led
offin the matter have thus far been
more than realized, Let the people of . .
both towgs unite in support of the
project, and the railroad will soon be
& reality.
The meeting te be held on Wednesday evening will effect a temporary orgavigdtion, and then the Treasurer
will call upom stockholders for ten per
cent of the amount, subspribed,) After
this amount is paid in, the. Treasurer is
required by law to certify to the fact,
. and then the permanent organization
of the Company will be immediately
effected and it*will be ready tor work.
This undoubtedly will result in building up every description of business in
the comuiunity, and will be of incalcu_ lable value to the county, and we rejoice that so much has already been
done. Let the work be carried forward
with energy; end Nevada county will
soen have a railroad.

till the douceur has been paid, and the
victim is landed in Castle Garden. As
soon as the authorities here are’ done
with him, he wanders out into the
streets of the great city to be quickly
pounced upon by thesharpers who have
awaited his coming, If he escapes being entirely fleeced he is peculiarly for
tunate. From New York, with diffi
culty he makes his way, hindered by
the annoyance of the ignorance of our
language and customs, to his intended
destination. -Now the Indianapolis
Convention is called to remedy this
difficulty. It is proposed that its dele~.
gates shall devise some plan by which
the United States government extend
its protection to the emigrant from the
time the vessel he is on enters our wa"
ters until he reaches ‘his’ new homeNew York has nothing to do, or should
have nothing to do with emigrants
to the West, and any fees which are extracted from them are so many items of
well defined robbery. Instead of using
Castle Garden, infamous on account of
its iniquities, the government should
provide a place on One of its islands in
New York harbor. From thence com.
missioners could quietly {forward the
new citizen to his destination without
exposing him for‘an ‘instant to the intrigues of the New York rogues. We
have no doubt that the convention will
be largely attended, and that its action
will be observed with Very great interest.
