NEVAD‘ JOURNAL FRIDAY MORNING, Dec. 30, 1855 Tua: New Year.—The year of our! we have a’tight’to-express oar prefLord one thousand eight hundred and fifty-nine is passing away forever.— -The last sands im its dial are almost gun. As we wateh tlie last grains passing irredeemably away, and sve the vacuity left, we can not but be eminded of the fulness of our hopes atwelvemonth ago andthe emptyness of them now: On the morning of the year whose evening is‘ about to close, show bright were our visions and how illusory have they proved to most of us! Few, indeed, are our realiza~ tions to the prizes hope places within our grasp. Thusisitever. Yet with how much dissatisfaction soever we may retrospect the past, the bright erown we would win still glistens and teeedes in the future and bids us not despair; Wechase the phantom over the boundaries of years and’ décades and leave it for the pursuit of millions yet to be. Insatiable asare our desires and trifling as may appear all that we accomplish as we glance backward upon ft; vain and mocking as the world may seem to be, we find but few who are quite willing to exchange it for another, from which fact it is fair to oonclude it is not so bad a world afier all. Weare not sure, even the most sanguine, that to shuffle off this mortal coil would be gain, and therefore, endeavor to woo sweet contentment to make eur Jot more tolerable, and console ourselves with the reflection “if net all our hopes are realized, we are growing wiser if not better as life wearsaway. That The soul’s dark cottage battered and decayed bets in new light through chinks which time has made. It is well to beginthe new year with good -resolutions, even if the weakness of tlie flesh will-cause us to fall far short of the object aimed at. An arrow aimed at the-sun will go higher and farther ‘han when discharged at “the horizon. Let us begin the new year, then, with ro less firm resolves than before. By trying, something may bedone valuable to ourselves auito mankind. Bright hopes and firm purposes are necessary to the achievement of ordinary purposes as well as great deeds. Let the future then be unclouded, and our hearts stout ; let eur objects be worthy, and » go ahead.” Deatu oF Wasuinctrox Irvine.— The favorite writer of America is dead. Washington Irving expired at his residence at Irvington,. on the Hudson, Noy. 28th, in the 77th year .of his age. As a writer, no American has gone ‘down to the grave with a wider fame ‘His quaint, mellow style is universally appreciated wherever the Eng ish language is readThere is a glow of genial, good humored.fancy throughout his writings which warins up the affections for every object around. ‘He forces us to iook on the bright side of human life. He surveyed the world with the eyes at once of a poet and philosopher, and painted it in sunshine. A better heart never beat in the bosom of man. Washington Irving will forever remain a brilliant star in the firmament of letters. The writings of “ Diedrich Knickerbocker,” Sketch Book, Bracebridge Hall, Columbus and his Discoveries, Conquest of Granada, Mahomet and his Successors, and Life of Washington, will live till the last syllable of recorded time. Irving once held the important position of Minister to Spain, but had an aversion for ofice or, indeed, for any occupation requiring continuous attention. He wrote and acted from the impulse of the moment. Carirornia Tosacco. —A Mr. Classen of Los Angelos, says the Southern Vineyard, ‘has succeeded in producing an excellent article cf cigars from tobacco of his own raising. By an examination of tobacce lands in Cuba, he has made a sclection of “kinds which wil] suit the soil of Los Angeles. ‘Fhe Vineyard is sanguine that the home cigars made from California tobaeeo will soon drive all others from the market, as the soil and-elimate of the lower part of the State are supposed to be inferior in no respect to Cuba for the production of the best varieties of tobacco. Wine Provvct or 1859.—The Los Angeles Vineyard gives the quantity of wine manufactured in that County the present yearat 292,000 gallons: 417,600 pounds of grapes were shipped to San Franciseo. ‘The value of the whole, exclusive of brandy, pum~ ize, etc., is estimated at $187,710.— There are thousands of vines in the county not yet in bearing, and the For Senaror:+As-one of the citzens of the State of California desirous of seeing hér preperly represented in the Senate 6f the: Uuited States, erence fer Senatorto fill'the vacancy occasioned by the untimely decease of Broderick,;, Not-being a Democrat dods nét-debar us from the right to express our preferences when men are elevated to office, although’ the party in power may atrogate to itself the right to disregard our choice, and in fact to do just-as it pleases in ali affairs pertaining to government. Our advocacy of ‘this or that man’s fitness for“# positiém will avajl noth~ ing, we are_sure, with a Legislature so far gone in. Lecomptapism as the one about to assemble ~ Revertheless confession is said to be good for the soul, and considering the. prospect of damnation’ ahead—from lvcofoco,rule in this State+weare disposed-td obtain all,the+ consolatign pagsjble-by’ unbosoming burself on the Senatorial question. Were we to>be shot or drowned :and.compelled.tofake a choice, we would toss a copper te decide. ‘Votehoose between Danver and Weller would, place us, ip,equally as awkward ‘a Gilemmas » “Denver for Senator? Ht islaughable. Welter for Senator? ‘It would be ridiculous did not shame, that: he bas been ele~ vated to the same position before, silence derision. Yet these are two prominent candidates, Huge thigh and hollow head—-muscle or vacuity— which shall we have? LEblis torbid that we should hate either. Washington comes next. ‘A man of unbounded stomach; epeaking metaphor: . ically. A case of greatness not yet discovered except; by himself and brother, Washington writes a good newspaper leader. ‘Fhere lies his forte and all the fame he has ever acquired except in lis own fervent, . imagination. ~ He‘is'a clever gentleman, and so is Denver. Both have pretty good judgment, bunt if their course on the Kansas question is the criterion by which to judge them, as couscienceless as Vitellus. Give them both their due. But tell us, ye sapieut Lecomptonites, why cither sheuld be sent to the United States Senate. Is it on account of. superior educa~ tion, profound knowledge, extraordinary eloquence } Nobody pretends it. The secret of theirpepularity is, they have hung ke a tin«kettle, to the tail of their party from tneir youth up and now are wanting offices as badly as they bave.wavted independeuce all their lives. — There certainly ought to be a bet= ter choice for Senator than either of these names present. ‘There ts a better one. Joseph G. Baldwin is the man. He is a gentleman of legal and literary reputation, not a chronic office hunter, above: party trickery, his record is clean, and ag far as his political life goes, it is reputable in any and every’ sens# "save and. except the act of going into the Democratic party. If we must have an Administration Senator to fill the seat of Broderick, we hupe there will be patriotism and State.pride enough found in the next Legislature to elect Baldwin. : The latest papers from the At]antic side tell us that Minister McLane has made a treaty with the Liberal party in Mexico, by which Lower California, Sonora, &c, have been ceded to the United States, besides the righ t to maich troops across Mexican: territory has‘been conceded. Hon. I'red P. Stanton, Secretary of the Territory of Kansas during Walker's Administration has abjured all connection with the Democratic party and annouuces: his determination hereafter to act with the Republicans. The editor of the Marysville Ezpress lias been presentéd with a pear grown in Japan. He says it was quite palatable, having a peculiar flavor. partaking somewhat of an Irish potato! Boiled, roasted, or raw} ‘5 The Mountain Messengér says the people of North Sierra are bound to have a new caunty if a “cold deck” is not wrung incon them. . “Candor compélsthe Shasta Herald to admit that the recent elections in the northern-States-have not been favorable to the Democratic party.” It is stated that tho, Masonic Fraternity of the United Stazes contemplate raising $100,000 to build a temple at the seat of goyeynment. Francisco Ramirez, editor of. El Clamor Publico, a. paper published at Los Angeles, hasbeen invited to become State printer of-Senora in Mexico. ro It is said the President's message -erop this year, owing to well known. is not near as “long as usual. .

He is recovering, Some of the people of Placerville and the Sacramento Union are talking of a railroad from. Folsom to Placerville. A meeting was held last week in the latter place to take steps te proeure the road, the proceedings of which meeting we have seen reported ia the local and Sacramento papers. The road, in advance of the observations of civil engineers, is de~ clared practicable, and the purse of ElDorado deemed amply full to build the road. Werdo not doubt that all these opinions and declarations are trne. “Where there is a will there is a wayIf El Dorado county goes to work in earnest a railroad will be seen ending at Placerville ina few months from titis-date. But if ElDorado ean do this, we shall maintain that Nevada is quite as able to. build a railway from near. Aubyrn to this city.” Unlees there was an ‘error in the.report of the assessed valuation of property in El Dorado,‘ the means of this county exceeds that of Ek Do~ ‘yado largely. -The distance is, not longer from Auburn to Nevads than from Folsom to Placerville, and the grade and ground more fayorable.— So far, then, as:advantagesof wealth and route are concerned we have. the: per centagein our favor. Add to these the superiority of our transmontane communication with Western Utah, and the inducements on the part of the citizens of Nevada county for energetic action are vastly greater. We have a pass lower by several hundred'feet, more accessable from either side, and smoother by far. If there can be a motive to impel the people of El Dorado to build a railroad to Placerville we shall maintain there is a stronger motive to in duce us to construct a railroad to Nevada. We ask every one. of our readers if this be net so. Last oF OLp Brown.—Ald “Ossayattamie ” Brown expiated his sentence en the gallows at Charleston, Va., onthe 2d: inst. His conduct during his last hours was characteristic of the man, and expected. Firmly and more calmly than perhaps any of the vast crowd in attendance, he walked to his last account. He died as most enthusiasts die, brayely. © We cannot help thinking that much as John Brown deserved death in the ‘eyes of the law of Virginia, it would have been a stroke of policy for that State, had the old man been permit~ ted to end his few-remaining days in prison instead of an ignominious death {on the seaffold. His death eau dono good in any sense. It will rajoice the handful of fanatics, for the opportunity it.affords. for capital, and be a source of regret to the conservative men of the North, because of the oil it pours upon flames in their midst they have long labored to subdue. Col. Fremont.—The Under Sheriff of Mariposa county recently put Col. Fremoat in possession of all the Claims in Bear Valley which have hitherto been held and occupied by the Merced Mining Company. Col. Fremont kindly and voluntarily agreed to nay the company $7000 for _. improvements, which was magnanimous, certainly, as. he was not obliged to pay a farthing. Irrigation—The Alameda Gazette says that an-enterprize is inthe way of completion on the Estudillo ranch in that county, having for its» object tke irrigation of the ranch during the dry season. The San Leandro creek is to be dammed and.a tunnel cut through a hill six hundred feet in length through which the water will . be conducted. Tue Far Woman.—The San Andreas Independent says of the fat woman on exhibition at San Francisco: Her arms are massive as the crank of an ocean steamer, sticking out from a body huge and squat as a Dutch hay-stack, supported by two immense pegs, resembling a couple of Western Reserve churns. Pure imagination, that last remark. Watkine on Atn.—The Hydraulic Press announces an unsuccessful.experiment made by Mr. Joseph Kufs, of walking on air, a few days gince at North San Juan. He walked offta bank and fell by the force of gravitation a distance of one hundred feet. Kut received no,dangerous. cuts. A severe shock of an earthquake was felt in the Sandwich Islands on he 20th of November. The Honalulu Advertiser says shocks on that Island are of rare occurr3nce. More .than one hundred and forty hives of bees were sold in San Francisco last Saturday at an average price of $40 per hive. Fusep.—The Amador Sentinel has been sold.to tlie Ledger: O. D. Avo aline retires from the business forever. Hackett the’ comedian arrived in San Francisco on the Joha L, Stephens. He has not yet entered inte an tngagement. : ‘them. fast approaching whea the contract for keeping the indigent sick for the coming’ year is toxbe let. ‘Bometime during the month of January proposals are to be received by the Board of Supervisors. As much depends, ia a humanitarian and pecuniary view, apon the individuals to whom is consigned the earevof the sick, and in a great degree the indigent sick fund, we have no doubt the Board of Supervisors will use their usual marked discretion in seeing that the interests of the Courity' as well as the sick, are properly rded. During the patt year the Coun ty has been fortunate in obtaining a physician andat a reasonable price. She has also been for‘tanate in having a physician whose aim has been to keep the number of inmates of the hospital to the lowest possible point. In some cases he has subscribed liberally to assist friends in sending old chronic cases, which promised to be lasting charges on the County. out of the State, and has in other instances procured-light work outside -for.some,individuals who\had not the capaeity or inclination to take care of themselves after the physician’s skill had been expended on In'this mariner has the number of patients in the County hospital been kept down to a moderate number and the hospital. fund been preserved. Dr. Haunt is deserving of credit for attending to thejinterests of the County in the way he has done during the year past, It has been done, howeyer, with little or no sacrifice to him. self, as we learn that he will realize not many dollars above expenses for keeping the County sick. .We trust the County will be able to let another contract for 1860 equally as advantageous to herself and to the destitute thrown upon her charge. Tue Shasta Courier predicts that a Yankee preacher, whotrit names, will abscond with somebody’s wife in less than a year. and charges the world to remember the predictién, ‘The preacher has been expressing sympathy with Old Brown. The prediction of the Courier is based on the natural tendencies of psalm singers to imitate the psalmist in his dealings with Uriah. We go still farther and prophesy that the said minister, after giving. us a practical demonstration of popular sovereignty will become a prominent Administration man soon after. We hazard nothing in the prediction since,the principal North Star men are known to be leaders in that same party, While our hand is in we will try a tilt with the Courier in the art pro-. phetic. We prophesy that one-eighth of all the nigger babies Worn South in theyear 1860 will be of the color of a new saddle or a “ chaw of tobacker,” and we will do southern preachers the justice to say they will not be entirely responsible for the astonish: ing phenomena. ‘ Rait Roap.—Mr, Alliot, Civil Engineer from Auburn, isin town with the view of making a preliminary survey for a railroad from Auburn to this place. He reports the route located from Folsom to Auburn an easy, practicable ore, and that the company formed to construct the same are willing to continue’ it to this place if the route is feasible. If our citizens will take the matter in hand we ean easily convince the fidst skeptica! that the route isa good oie. We are assured that the preliminary survey can be made in about two wecks, and at a small expense. No Fusion.—The New York Herald says that the Republican and Anti-Lecompton members of the House of Representatives will not fuse on the officers. It is reported that the Democrats have made overtures to the South Americans. Wetter Man-—(with a ferociously mock chivalric air. ᐀夀漀甀 say Weller’s morning dram is of more importance to him than the position of U. S. Senator. I demand proof of your assertion, sit-r-r!.

Richard Randolph’s will, which dedicated all his property, amounting to $75,000 te purchasing the freedom of the living Randolph slaves in Virginia, has been sustained. It was his own brother who labored to break the instrument upon the ground that the testator was.crazy. Gov. SewarD was presented in Alexandria with three ‘spperb Arabian horses, which will be shipped to this country. Twoof them will be presented tothe New York State Agricultural Society. Mr. Carlyle is reported to be still busy on his Life of Frederic the Great. Volumes 3 and 4 will be published about May next. The continuation of Lord Macaulay's History,cannot be looked for with any certainty at present, though it is said he has.two additional yolumes ready for the press. — “States, it would of course lead to ported in ease of a probable long wrangle about the Speakership, that the President will follow the example of his predecessor -and send in his \Message to the Senate. It is also rumored that the. President will make the Harper's Ferry affair a. topic of his message. “Ihe latter report is probably true, at least it is given currency in the N. Y. Herald, which is supposed to speak by the card in reference to the doings of James Buchanan. In various ways the Administration party is fanning the slavery question to the full extent of its:wind. A gentleman from Virginia has anticipated old Buchanan a little by introducing into Congrese resolutions of inquiry into the causes &c. of the Harper's Ferry affair, : The whole’ of this. ado over that misguided. attempt of Old Brown is certainly out of place, and will return ike ‘a boomérang to the feet of the ‘operator. ‘I'he least said about it by the South, the, better it will be for that section. The attempt'that is being made to.make the body of the Northern people responsible for the thad acts of Old Brown must surely end in evil tothe South. It is enough to furnish two thirds of the revenue for the support of the government, to pay largely for carrying the mail through the Slave States, te surrender the larger share of the national offices to the weaker section, without being taunted after much forbearanee ‘with being thieves, robbers and cutthroats—enemies at last: Horace Greeley on Wednesday evening, the 13th inst., spoke before the American Geographical and Sta~ tistical Society, New York, on the Pacific Railroad. He was introduced in an elegant speech by the Rev. J. P. Thompson, President of the Society. Mr. Greeley said that he was not the advocate of any particular route. He wanted the road to reach the Pacific, and if it were in connection with the network of railway in the NewYork. The Northern route had the advantage of less heavy grades, and the Southern route of no snow, both very considerable, The great trouble was the lack of timber; there wes not ou any route enough for the ties, He was in favor of the Pacific Railroad generally. It was a present necessity; we could not afford to wait until the Millenium for everything.— One hundred thousand people had crossed this year iv one way and an~ other, and on an average these persons could have afforded to pay $100 more to have gone by railroad,— Here was $10,€00,000 lost this year by the lack of it. Had the Ynited States. mails. always been carried overland, the Government might have had them carried cheaper, and he thought the Pacific Railroad would have been by this time nearly completed. The Pacific slope ‘had now 750,000 inhabitants, exported $50,000,000 ofour gold per year, and imported nearly $50,000,000 of our and European manufactures.— Thers would be much greater travel than now, if the Pacific Railroad were built. He thought the Road might do a business of $20,000,000 the first year. The permanance of the gold deposits of Galifornia was an element in the value of the Road. We had only washed out a little of the gold, and had scarcely touched the gold-bearing quartz. The best process for extracting gold from quartz nowin use in California, extracted only one-third of it. The Rocky Mountains were full of gold: and if there was a railroad thither, so that provisions might be afforded at less than four times their value, a large number of men might be profitanly employed there in mining.— There was in Carson Valley ore which was wagoned over the Sierra Nevada, and 200 miles down to navigable water, whence it was taken to Sen Franeisco to be smelted, A railread from Carson Valley to San Francisco would pay of -itself, and must soon be built, Pacific Railroad or no Pacific Railroad. The United States Governmentsas now paying $5,000,000 a year, which could be saved if there were a railroad across the conntry. He was convinced that a Pacific Railroad would pay in one — after it was completed, and the enefits which it would confer upon the country were incalculable, especially in securing a large emigration of women to California. Mr. Greeley traced. en Mr. Schroeter’s large map the route which he traveled,and several of the improvements recently applied toit. -The alkaline waters there might be the providentially appointed means of making the ties of the road endure 100 years. The mountain difficulties are not so great as he had supposed: he thought not greater than those presented by the Alleghanies to the Pennsylvania Central Railroad. If the Government should efter to pay to that company which should agree for the least money to build and-stock the railroad . within ten years,such sum as might be necessary, not exceeding $50,000,000 the road.eonld be built, and the Government would save $50,060,000 by it in ten years after.it was opened.— He thought that more than anything else the Pacific Railroad would tend to make New York the center of the world. We had the labor unemployed and the capital idle. He asked that no effort shonld be left untried, no energy untaxed, until the road was accomplished.

NEVAD‘ JOURNAL FRIDAY MORNING, Dec. 30, 1855 Tua: New Year.—The year of our! we have a’tight’to-express oar prefLord one thousand eight hundred and fifty-nine is passing away forever.— -The last sands im its dial are almost gun. As we wateh tlie last grains passing irredeemably away, and sve the vacuity left, we can not but be eminded of the fulness of our hopes atwelvemonth ago andthe emptyness of them now: On the morning of the year whose evening is‘ about to close, show bright were our visions and how illusory have they proved to most of us! Few, indeed, are our realiza~ tions to the prizes hope places within our grasp. Thusisitever. Yet with how much dissatisfaction soever we may retrospect the past, the bright erown we would win still glistens and teeedes in the future and bids us not despair; Wechase the phantom over the boundaries of years and’ décades and leave it for the pursuit of millions yet to be. Insatiable asare our desires and trifling as may appear all that we accomplish as we glance backward upon ft; vain and mocking as the world may seem to be, we find but few who are quite willing to exchange it for another, from which fact it is fair to oonclude it is not so bad a world afier all. Weare not sure, even the most sanguine, that to shuffle off this mortal coil would be gain, and therefore, endeavor to woo sweet contentment to make eur Jot more tolerable, and console ourselves with the reflection “if net all our hopes are realized, we are growing wiser if not better as life wearsaway. That The soul’s dark cottage battered and decayed bets in new light through chinks which time has made. It is well to beginthe new year with good -resolutions, even if the weakness of tlie flesh will-cause us to fall far short of the object aimed at. An arrow aimed at the-sun will go higher and farther ‘han when discharged at “the horizon. Let us begin the new year, then, with ro less firm resolves than before. By trying, something may bedone valuable to ourselves auito mankind. Bright hopes and firm purposes are necessary to the achievement of ordinary purposes as well as great deeds. Let the future then be unclouded, and our hearts stout ; let eur objects be worthy, and » go ahead.” Deatu oF Wasuinctrox Irvine.— The favorite writer of America is dead. Washington Irving expired at his residence at Irvington,. on the Hudson, Noy. 28th, in the 77th year .of his age. As a writer, no American has gone ‘down to the grave with a wider fame ‘His quaint, mellow style is universally appreciated wherever the Eng ish language is readThere is a glow of genial, good humored.fancy throughout his writings which warins up the affections for every object around. ‘He forces us to iook on the bright side of human life. He surveyed the world with the eyes at once of a poet and philosopher, and painted it in sunshine. A better heart never beat in the bosom of man. Washington Irving will forever remain a brilliant star in the firmament of letters. The writings of “ Diedrich Knickerbocker,” Sketch Book, Bracebridge Hall, Columbus and his Discoveries, Conquest of Granada, Mahomet and his Successors, and Life of Washington, will live till the last syllable of recorded time. Irving once held the important position of Minister to Spain, but had an aversion for ofice or, indeed, for any occupation requiring continuous attention. He wrote and acted from the impulse of the moment. Carirornia Tosacco. —A Mr. Classen of Los Angelos, says the Southern Vineyard, ‘has succeeded in producing an excellent article cf cigars from tobacco of his own raising. By an examination of tobacce lands in Cuba, he has made a sclection of “kinds which wil] suit the soil of Los Angeles. ‘Fhe Vineyard is sanguine that the home cigars made from California tobaeeo will soon drive all others from the market, as the soil and-elimate of the lower part of the State are supposed to be inferior in no respect to Cuba for the production of the best varieties of tobacco. Wine Provvct or 1859.—The Los Angeles Vineyard gives the quantity of wine manufactured in that County the present yearat 292,000 gallons: 417,600 pounds of grapes were shipped to San Franciseo. ‘The value of the whole, exclusive of brandy, pum~ ize, etc., is estimated at $187,710.— There are thousands of vines in the county not yet in bearing, and the For Senaror:+As-one of the citzens of the State of California desirous of seeing hér preperly represented in the Senate 6f the: Uuited States, erence fer Senatorto fill'the vacancy occasioned by the untimely decease of Broderick,;, Not-being a Democrat dods nét-debar us from the right to express our preferences when men are elevated to office, although’ the party in power may atrogate to itself the right to disregard our choice, and in fact to do just-as it pleases in ali affairs pertaining to government. Our advocacy of ‘this or that man’s fitness for“# positiém will avajl noth~ ing, we are_sure, with a Legislature so far gone in.

Yet these are two prominent candidates, Huge thigh and hollow head—-muscle or vacuity— which shall we have? LEblis torbid that we should hate either. Washington comes next. ‘A man of unbounded stomach; epeaking metaphor: . ically. A case of greatness not yet discovered except; by himself and brother, Washington writes a good newspaper leader. ‘Fhere lies his forte and all the fame he has ever acquired except in lis own fervent, . imagination. ~ He‘is'a clever gentleman, and so is Denver. Both have pretty good judgment, bunt if their course on the Kansas question is the criterion by which to judge them, as couscienceless as Vitellus. Give them both their due. But tell us, ye sapieut Lecomptonites, why cither sheuld be sent to the United States Senate. Is it on account of. superior educa~ tion, profound knowledge, extraordinary eloquence } Nobody pretends it. The secret of theirpepularity is, they have hung ke a tin«kettle, to the tail of their party from tneir youth up and now are wanting offices as badly as they bave.wavted independeuce all their lives. — There certainly ought to be a bet= ter choice for Senator than either of these names present. ‘There ts a better one. Joseph G. Baldwin is the man. He is a gentleman of legal and literary reputation, not a chronic office hunter, above: party trickery, his record is clean, and ag far as his political life goes, it is reputable in any and every’ sens# "save and. except the act of going into the Democratic party. If we must have an Administration Senator to fill the seat of Broderick, we hupe there will be patriotism and State.pride enough found in the next Legislature to elect Baldwin. : The latest papers from the At]antic side tell us that Minister McLane has made a treaty with the Liberal party in Mexico, by which Lower California, Sonora, &c, have been ceded to the United States, besides the righ t to maich troops across Mexican: territory has‘been conceded. Hon. I'red P. Stanton, Secretary of the Territory of Kansas during Walker's Administration has abjured all connection with the Democratic party and annouuces: his determination hereafter to act with the Republicans. The editor of the Marysville Ezpress lias been presentéd with a pear grown in Japan. He says it was quite palatable, having a peculiar flavor. partaking somewhat of an Irish potato!

He is recovering, Some of the people of Placerville and the Sacramento Union are talking of a railroad from. Folsom to Placerville. A meeting was held last week in the latter place to take steps te proeure the road, the proceedings of which meeting we have seen reported ia the local and Sacramento papers. The road, in advance of the observations of civil engineers, is de~ clared practicable, and the purse of ElDorado deemed amply full to build the road. Werdo not doubt that all these opinions and declarations are trne. “Where there is a will there is a wayIf El Dorado county goes to work in earnest a railroad will be seen ending at Placerville ina few months from titis-date. But if ElDorado ean do this, we shall maintain that Nevada is quite as able to. build a railway from near. Aubyrn to this city.” Unlees there was an ‘error in the.report of the assessed valuation of property in El Dorado,‘ the means of this county exceeds that of Ek Do~ ‘yado largely. -The distance is, not longer from Auburn to Nevads than from Folsom to Placerville, and the grade and ground more fayorable.— So far, then, as:advantagesof wealth and route are concerned we have. the: per centagein our favor. Add to these the superiority of our transmontane communication with Western Utah, and the inducements on the part of the citizens of Nevada county for energetic action are vastly greater. We have a pass lower by several hundred'feet, more accessable from either side, and smoother by far. If there can be a motive to impel the people of El Dorado to build a railroad to Placerville we shall maintain there is a stronger motive to in duce us to construct a railroad to Nevada. We ask every one. of our readers if this be net so. Last oF OLp Brown.—Ald “Ossayattamie ” Brown expiated his sentence en the gallows at Charleston, Va., onthe 2d: inst. His conduct during his last hours was characteristic of the man, and expected. Firmly and more calmly than perhaps any of the vast crowd in attendance, he walked to his last account. He died as most enthusiasts die, brayely. © We cannot help thinking that much as John Brown deserved death in the ‘eyes of the law of Virginia, it would have been a stroke of policy for that State, had the old man been permit~ ted to end his few-remaining days in prison instead of an ignominious death {on the seaffold. His death eau dono good in any sense. It will rajoice the handful of fanatics, for the opportunity it.affords. for capital, and be a source of regret to the conservative men of the North, because of the oil it pours upon flames in their midst they have long labored to subdue. Col. Fremont.—The Under Sheriff of Mariposa county recently put Col. Fremoat in possession of all the Claims in Bear Valley which have hitherto been held and occupied by the Merced Mining Company. Col. Fremont kindly and voluntarily agreed to nay the company $7000 for _. improvements, which was magnanimous, certainly, as. he was not obliged to pay a farthing. Irrigation—The Alameda Gazette says that an-enterprize is inthe way of completion on the Estudillo ranch in that county, having for its» object tke irrigation of the ranch during the dry season. The San Leandro creek is to be dammed and.a tunnel cut through a hill six hundred feet in length through which the water will . be conducted. Tue Far Woman.—The San Andreas Independent says of the fat woman on exhibition at San Francisco: Her arms are massive as the crank of an ocean steamer, sticking out from a body huge and squat as a Dutch hay-stack, supported by two immense pegs, resembling a couple of Western Reserve churns. Pure imagination, that last remark. Watkine on Atn.—The Hydraulic Press announces an unsuccessful.experiment made by Mr. Joseph Kufs, of walking on air, a few days gince at North San Juan. He walked offta bank and fell by the force of gravitation a distance of one hundred feet. Kut received no,dangerous. cuts. A severe shock of an earthquake was felt in the Sandwich Islands on he 20th of November. The Honalulu Advertiser says shocks on that Island are of rare occurr3nce. More .than one hundred and forty hives of bees were sold in San Francisco last Saturday at an average price of $40 per hive. Fusep.—The Amador Sentinel has been sold.to tlie Ledger: O. D. Avo aline retires from the business forever. Hackett the’ comedian arrived in San Francisco on the Joha L, Stephens. He has not yet entered inte an tngagement. : ‘them. fast approaching whea the contract for keeping the indigent sick for the coming’ year is toxbe let. ‘Bometime during the month of January proposals are to be received by the Board of Supervisors. As much depends, ia a humanitarian and pecuniary view, apon the individuals to whom is consigned the earevof the sick, and in a great degree the indigent sick fund, we have no doubt the Board of Supervisors will use their usual marked discretion in seeing that the interests of the Courity' as well as the sick, are properly rded. During the patt year the Coun ty has been fortunate in obtaining a physician andat a reasonable price. She has also been for‘tanate in having a physician whose aim has been to keep the number of inmates of the hospital to the lowest possible point. In some cases he has subscribed liberally to assist friends in sending old chronic cases, which promised to be lasting charges on the County. out of the State, and has in other instances procured-light work outside -for.some,individuals who\had not the capaeity or inclination to take care of themselves after the physician’s skill had been expended on In'this mariner has the number of patients in the County hospital been kept down to a moderate number and the hospital. fund been preserved. Dr. Haunt is deserving of credit for attending to thejinterests of the County in the way he has done during the year past, It has been done, howeyer, with little or no sacrifice to him. self, as we learn that he will realize not many dollars above expenses for keeping the County sick. .We trust the County will be able to let another contract for 1860 equally as advantageous to herself and to the destitute thrown upon her charge. Tue Shasta Courier predicts that a Yankee preacher, whotrit names, will abscond with somebody’s wife in less than a year. and charges the world to remember the predictién, ‘The preacher has been expressing sympathy with Old Brown. The prediction of the Courier is based on the natural tendencies of psalm singers to imitate the psalmist in his dealings with Uriah. We go still farther and prophesy that the said minister, after giving. us a practical demonstration of popular sovereignty will become a prominent Administration man soon after. We hazard nothing in the prediction since,the principal North Star men are known to be leaders in that same party, While our hand is in we will try a tilt with the Courier in the art pro-. phetic. We prophesy that one-eighth of all the nigger babies Worn South in theyear 1860 will be of the color of a new saddle or a “ chaw of tobacker,” and we will do southern preachers the justice to say they will not be entirely responsible for the astonish: ing phenomena. ‘ Rait Roap.—Mr, Alliot, Civil Engineer from Auburn, isin town with the view of making a preliminary survey for a railroad from Auburn to this place. He reports the route located from Folsom to Auburn an easy, practicable ore, and that the company formed to construct the same are willing to continue’ it to this place if the route is feasible. If our citizens will take the matter in hand we ean easily convince the fidst skeptica! that the route isa good oie. We are assured that the preliminary survey can be made in about two wecks, and at a small expense. No Fusion.—The New York Herald says that the Republican and Anti-Lecompton members of the House of Representatives will not fuse on the officers. It is reported that the Democrats have made overtures to the South Americans. Wetter Man-—(with a ferociously mock chivalric air. ᐀夀漀甀 say Weller’s morning dram is of more importance to him than the position of U. S. Senator. I demand proof of your assertion, sit-r-r!.

Richard Randolph’s will, which dedicated all his property, amounting to $75,000 te purchasing the freedom of the living Randolph slaves in Virginia, has been sustained. It was his own brother who labored to break the instrument upon the ground that the testator was.crazy. Gov. SewarD was presented in Alexandria with three ‘spperb Arabian horses, which will be shipped to

this country. Twoof them will be presented tothe New York State Agricultural Society. Mr. Carlyle is reported to be still busy on his Life of Frederic the Great. Volumes 3 and 4 will be published about May next. The continuation of Lord Macaulay's History,cannot be looked for with any certainty at present, though it is said he has.two additional yolumes ready for the press. — “States, it would of course lead to ported in ease of a probable long wrangle about the Speakership, that the President will follow the example of his predecessor -and send in his \Message to the Senate. It is also rumored that the. President will make the Harper's Ferry affair a. topic of his message. “Ihe latter report is probably true, at least it is given currency in the N. Y. Herald, which is supposed to speak by the card in reference to the doings of James Buchanan. In various ways the Administration party is fanning the slavery question to the full extent of its:wind. A gentleman from Virginia has anticipated old Buchanan a little by introducing into Congrese resolutions of inquiry into the causes &c. of the Harper's Ferry affair, : The whole’ of this. ado over that misguided. attempt of Old Brown is certainly out of place, and will return ike ‘a boomérang to the feet of the ‘operator. ‘I'he least said about it by the South, the, better it will be for that section. The attempt'that is being made to.make the body of the Northern people responsible for the thad acts of Old Brown must surely end in evil tothe South. It is enough to furnish two thirds of the revenue for the support of the government, to pay largely for carrying the mail through the Slave States, te surrender the larger share of the national offices to the weaker section, without being taunted after much forbearanee ‘with being thieves, robbers and cutthroats—enemies at last: Horace Greeley on Wednesday evening, the 13th inst., spoke before the American Geographical and Sta~ tistical Society, New York, on the Pacific Railroad. He was introduced in an elegant speech by the Rev. J. P. Thompson, President of the Society. Mr. Greeley said that he was not the advocate of any particular route. He wanted the road to reach the Pacific, and if it were in connection with the network of railway in the NewYork. The Northern route had the advantage of less heavy grades, and the Southern route of no snow, both very considerable, The great trouble was the lack of timber; there wes not ou any route enough for the ties, He was in favor of the Pacific Railroad generally. It was a present necessity; we could not afford to wait until the Millenium for everything.— One hundred thousand people had crossed this year iv one way and an~ other, and on an average these persons could have afforded to pay $100 more to have gone by railroad,— Here was $10,€00,000 lost this year by the lack of it. Had the Ynited States. mails. always been carried overland, the Government might have had them carried cheaper, and he thought the Pacific Railroad would have been by this time nearly completed. The Pacific slope ‘had now 750,000 inhabitants, exported $50,000,000 ofour gold per year, and imported nearly $50,000,000 of our and European manufactures.— Thers would be much greater travel than now, if the Pacific Railroad were built. He thought the Road might do a business of $20,000,000 the first year. The permanance of the gold deposits of Galifornia was an element in the value of the Road. We had only washed out a little of the gold, and had scarcely touched the gold-bearing quartz. The best process for extracting gold from quartz nowin use in California, extracted only one-third of it. The Rocky Mountains were full of gold: and if there was a railroad thither, so that provisions might be afforded at less than four times their value, a large number of men might be profitanly employed there in mining.— There was in Carson Valley ore which was wagoned over the Sierra Nevada, and 200 miles down to navigable water, whence it was taken to Sen Franeisco to be smelted, A railread from Carson Valley to San Francisco would pay of -itself, and must soon be built, Pacific Railroad or no Pacific Railroad. The United States Governmentsas now paying $5,000,000 a year, which could be saved if there were a railroad across the conntry. He was convinced that a Pacific Railroad would pay in one — after it was completed, and the enefits which it would confer upon the country were incalculable, especially in securing a large emigration of women to California. Mr. Greeley traced. en Mr. Schroeter’s large map the route which he traveled,and several of the improvements recently applied toit. -The alkaline waters there might be the providentially appointed means of making the ties of the road endure 100 years. The mountain difficulties are not so great as he had supposed: he thought not greater than those presented by the Alleghanies to the Pennsylvania Central Railroad. If the Government should efter to pay to that company which should agree for the least money to build and-stock the railroad . within ten years,such sum as might be necessary, not exceeding $50,000,000 the road.eonld be built, and the Government would save $50,060,000 by it in ten years after.it was opened.— He thought that more than anything else the Pacific Railroad would tend to make New York the center of the world. We had the labor unemployed and the capital idle. He asked that no effort shonld be left untried, no energy untaxed, until the road was accomplished.
