To‘TruckEE AND Bacx.—We recently had occasion to visit the town of Trackee, and other points in the Eastern portion of the county. The Telegraph Co's and Colby’s stages leave this city every morning at 6 o'clock, the former connecting with , the trains: ‘ at Colfax. and the latter at Dutch Flat Station. The distance by stage on each foute is about the same. Colby’s stage passes through Red Dog, You Bet, Little York and Dutch Fiat. The ride _over the Sierras by rail has been eften described, and we will not attempt it. Much of the grandeur has been shat out from view by the snow sheds built by the Company. The train arrives at the town of Truckee about half past 2 o'clock in the afternoon. Truckee is a place of considerable bustle and importance, but latterly, on account of a lack of demand for lumber, and the postponement of pay day for workmen, times are somewhat dull, still Truckee shows as much life, ‘and } probably does as much business.as any town of its size or age in the State. Not long since there were 21 saw mills in operation in that vicinity, and many of them were the most complete and exs ted on the banks of the river of that! name, the outlet of Tahoe and without exception the most beautiful stream in the State, Its waters are as clear as crystal and as cold as the snow from which it is to some extent fed. Within its banks is contained sufficient power to move the wheels of scores of manufactories, and the great advantages givenby the railroad will eventually bring this power into use. Already saw mills are scattered along its banks, and the stream has been used not only logs from the woods tothe mills. Now that the demand for lumber has somewhat abated, owners of mills are ‘turn— ing their attention to utilizing the machinery. Hoadley & Co., at Truckee, have one of the finest saw mills in the State, and they have connected with it x asash and door factory, from which they are enabled to manufacture articles at such advantage that they, can successfully compete with others in the markets of San Francisco and Virginia . City. Passing alotig the railroad one might infer that timber of the character required for these articles was scarce, but-a. few miles back, are immense tracts of excellent timber, from which logs may be easily transported to the mill. “Not only sash and doors, but other articles of wood ware may be manufactured to advantage. In the town proper the Railroad Company has around house, where from sixteen to eighteen’ locomotives are kept, more than half of them always under steam and ready for service. The main or Front street runs along the railroad track and has large and well built .Storehouses, and is the business portion of the town. At the railroad depot, Campbell has a large, well furnished hotel and knows how tokeep it. From ' this hotel stages start daily on the arrival of the cars for Lake Tahoe, Don~ ner Lake, and three days in the week for Sardine Valley and Sierraville. The roads to each of these places are very good and the fares low. A resident of Nevada sees so many old acquaintances at Truckee that he soon feels at home among them. Probably twenty ar thirty, who at some timewithin ten years resided in this city, may be met on the street any tine in the day. Of some of the attractions in this part of the county we shall have more'té say. Newton Boorn, A.C. Menson and Cornelius Cole, who are now in the Eastern States, have been invited to meet the Pioneers at Chitajro—and San Fran¢iseo Correspondeiice. San Fxranetsco, Sept. 6, 1869. “ta, Pranscript :—Since last I wrote evcats of the greatest interest to us and: t the people of the United States have occurred.: Thepeople, as with one ALONE IN Her Gtory.~So far as we have positive information, gays the Stocktcn Independent, the, Taolumne . District is the only one im the State . that has elected a Republican Senator at the late election. . The Batte Dis-. ‘ment would not confer upon the Chi: soe : nese-the right to become citizens. All the argument that might have’ been brought to bear would not have convinced them to -the contrary. the Republican party, who have visited this State within the last few mo contributed no little -to our « Then our people were afraid to discuss the question—they handled it tenderly ; ‘they rolled it about in their mouthd as ene would a.hot potato, not wishing to spit it out or to swallow it, but rather to roll it around from one side to the other, until it cooled, and they could then swallow it without the least danger of hurting themselves. Instead of this they should have met the charges of the Democracy fairly and squarely. There is no doubt in my mind that had not the cry of Chinese suffrage, etc., been continually ringing in the ears of the people that we should have elected the whole of the Independent ticket in this city, including the legislative portion, as a majority of the nominees of the Democracy were notoridusly unfit for the position they aspired to. . But we had too much to carry, and we congratulate ourselves that we have elected a Mayor, a County Clerk, a Fire Commissioner, and four out of six Supers visors. We consider tbat pretty good, as it insures an honest and economical administration of the city government for two years, and has broken up and demoralized theclique that -has ;ruled and robbed us for two years and more. . Express CoMPANIEs, A change will soon take place in the the standing of express companies: on this coast. It was at first said that the Pacific Union and the new Pacific Ex~ press Companies would consolidate,and this was generally believed by the employes of the former company. But it now turns. out that this was premature. Ihe new company will run on their own hook. It numbers among its incorporators the wealthiest men on this coast, and I am informed that the Central Pacific Railroad has taken $1,000,000 worth of the stock. It is also said that the U. P. Railroad Co. have taken $2,000,000 worth of stock, and that no other express companies will be allowed to ran on these roads. Wells, Fargo & Co.,it is ramored, have already received notification to vacate the cars, and the Pacific Union Express are in daily expectation of a similar notification. I give you these reports as they come tomy ears, and vouch for either their truth nor falsity. One thing i do know, that sever = ge E Pacific Union Company have been dis— Charged already, and that those ememployed: in the office here are looking out for other situations. It is certain now that we are on the eve of great changes in the express business on this coast. CHANGE oF TIME. Tam informed by a gentleman in authority here that achange in the time of the arrival and departure of. the mails; and—consequently-ot the steam= boats and cars, will be inaugurated in a short period-of time. I believe it has not yet been definitely determined upon when this change. will take place, nor what shall be the hours of arrival and départure ced upon the time table; but Lam assured that it -will be but a4 short time betore the public are placed in possession of all the necessary inforniation. — THE WESTERN MoNnTHLY.—This is the title of an ably conducted, live magazine, published by Reed Brown & Co., 18 Tribune building, Chicago. -The subscription price is $3 per annum, In typography and appearance it resems bles the Atlantic Monthly, and is highly creditable to the pablishers. The nums ber before us contains a fine engraving of Vice President Colfax, with a very readable biographical sketch ; an excel« lent essay entitled, “A Practical Solution of the Eight Hour Question:” a story, “A Night and Day in the Sierras,” being ‘a vivid sketch of the old times, when the Pioneer Line. ran through storm and snow ; “The Man under'the Bed,” a Salt Lake story, and in addition the following : “Wyoming Territory,” “Shakspeare as player and poet,” “These Hobby Riders,” “Time's Defense,” “Chinese ethics,” * “Harriet Beecher Stowe,” “The Land of Dreams,” ‘&e., &e. travel with them to New York, 4 j at course, too, of those representatives of . . probability perish. . been heard from,and thé examples of San Joaquin, Sacramento, Plager, Neyada, and other hitherto staunch Republican cognties, leave grounds'to fear the Republicans of Plumas and’ may also have ‘benevolently . It isa novel and interesting fact that more . elected a Demucratic Senator. by Republicans than’ by Democrats this SERIOUS AUCIDENT.— Yesterday afterneon, says the Grass Valley “Union, in the vicinity of Union Hill mine, as Birkleman’s brewery wagon was passing along a narrow part of the road it _met a loaded team, and in attempting ‘to pass, the brewery wagon was turned over the bank, and the driver Felix Schrakamp and George Whetmore, who was on the seat with him, were thrown off. Whetmore was seriously injured, his left leg being broken in three places below the knee, and so badly shattered that the bones projected through the flesh. Schrakamp fortunately escaped doubtless considered himself favored, as it was only a few weeks ago that he was thrown from his wagon and had an arm broken, and has only resumed work within the last few days. The upset frightened the span of -horses ‘attached ‘fo the wagon, and tliey tan away with the front wheels, breaking them somewhat before they could be ,brought to a stand still. THE DRownNIne aT Tanor.—In onr last issue we noticed the fact of four men being mis_ sing, and who were supposed to have been drowned. Since that time, says the Truckee Tribune, we have learned the following particulars : The four men, Isaac Steen, William Riddle, James Henley and Charles Anderso n, came to Truckee to vote and-returned-to Tahoe City in the afternoon stage. They were all more or less under the influence of liquor, and they staid around towa drinking until nine o’clock at night. At this time they left the saloon with the intention of going to the Hot Springs, some sixteen miles from that place. The wind was blowing very hard atthe time, and the Lake was very rough. . The trip would have been considered a very dangerous one in daylight witha sober crew,. with the Lake as it then was, and in view of these facts, parties at Tahoe City. tried-to distheir determination, and started ont in their pont. ~had-charge of the boat, and when sober understood sailing it very well, The men nor boat have never been seen nor heard of since leaving Tahoe City. The boat had about two hundred pounds of baHast in her and it is very probable that if she upset or filled with water she went di. rectly down. Riddle was a married man and resided at the Lake. James Henley has been sailing the boat onthe bake for some time, and we believe lived at Sexton’s mill. We can learn nothing relative to the other two persons. Some parties at Tahoe City insist that there were five men that went out in-the boat, but we can get no reliable information of the fact. The men were engaged at the Hot Springs fixing them up, A Fine Resipence.—A correspondent of the Bee (‘om Merry) writes as follows: ‘A fine farm, resembling “thé old-fashioned domains of New Jersey and Virginia -settlers, lies about eighteen miles above Colusa. This property belongs to Mr. John Boggs, a pioneer of '49, who has built up one of the most ‘elegant homes in the State. His dwel~ ling cost $40,000 and is elegantly furnished. His. stables contain several] trotters that trot inside of 2:50, whil some of Norfolk and Lodi may be seen capering in the paddocks, Langford, also his property.” TERRIBLE FIRE.—On the 6th a fire occurred in the Arondale coal mines near Scranton, Pa., communicated with extensive buildings at the mouth of the ‘shaft, and shutting ia 200 men, all of whom it is believed -have perished, Several hundred men went to work to open a Way from an adjoining mine, but as it would require at least two days to accomplish the work,they can hardly be reached in time.
