NEVADA JOURNAL A Ciry UNMINDFUL or Her Trve INTERESTS.~We have long observed ERIDAY MORNING, Jan. 6, 1860. . the alacrity with which a portion of a NevapDa AND HER Rait Roap-—We are about to present some facts to the people of Nevada County to which we wotldinvite close attention. These facts go to determine where the interests of our County lie in connec-~ tion with a railroad. No one doubts that .voner or later a communication with the seaboard by railway isinevitable. A railroad, by virtae of our resources and wants must sometime become a necessity.— We are among the majority in believing that necessity now to exist.— Whatever diversity of opinion may prevail on this point, all will agree it is wise to look around us, be forewarned and forearmed to protect our interests in time. Accordingly the citizens of Nevada City have raised a handsome sum of money to survey a railroad route to Auburn in Placer County, and a competent engineer with a corps of assistants adequate to the task will enter upon the work immediately. We propose to present the reasons for a connection with Sacramento via Auburn. By an examination of the report of T. D. Judah, Chief Engiueer of the California Central Railroad, we find that Auburn is 1156 above Sacramento, Folsom 175 above Sacramento, and therefore Auburn is 975 feet higher than Folsom. The point taken at Auburn by Judah was the Placer Herald office which is in the lowest part of the town, while the survey of Hon. Sherman Day establishes the terminus at Auburn of the Auburn and Folsom road at full sixty feet higher, which will make the as-~ cent gained from Felsom to Auburn on the proposed road between the two places, 1,035 feet. The elevation of Lincoln above Sacramento, if anything, we cannot ascertain exactly, but sufficiently so Going for all practical yurposes. from Folsom towards Lincoln we find, by Judah’s report, that the Half Way Hfouse is 25 feet Jower than Folsom requiring a descending grade towards Lincoln. The latter place stands out on the plain on Auburn ravine, and to the eye would seem to be but little . higher than Sacramento. But we have data somewhat to the point of determining the relative altitudes of Auburn and Lineoln. According to the report of Judah before us, there is a fall of 740 feet from Auburn to Gold Hill which is seven miles from Lincoln. Allowing but 20 feet fall to the mile‘for the remaining seven miles and we have $80 feet, the altitude of the Placer Herald office above Lincoln, Add 60 feet for the elevation of the Auburn depot, on the railroad to Folsom, above the Herald office, and we have the approximate altitude of Auburn at 940 feet above Lincoln, which is absolutely less than the actual difference. These facts are significant, and demonstrate that the interests of Nevada County lie in a connection with Auburn by railroad, for we have a route a few miles shorter than to Lincoln and we may safely say with 940 feet less ascent to overcome. Indeeda railroad from Nevada to Lincola may be pronounced impracticable. The hills are too abrupt in the vicinity of Lincoln to run a railroad in this direction. The~spur railroad proposed from Gold Hill to tLe California Central, we find on investigation can be of but little gractical benefit to this County. Indeed if we design to have a good railroad connection with the Sacramento Valley the extension railroad will rather be a curse thana blessing if completed. We cannot connect with it without overcoming about 2,000 feet ascent, whereas on the Auburn route we have but about half. that number of feet to overcome. Nevada is, in round numbers, 2,200 feet above the sea level, or say 2,100 above Sacramento. She is then 1,050 higher tban Auburn. Now an elevation of 1,035-feet has been easily overcomein 19 miles, the distance between Folsom and’ Auburn. It is evident then, the route being practicable, that an elevation of 1,050 feet can be easily met’ in 28 mileg, the distance between Neyada’and Auburn. Tf, then, we desire a railroad to this city with aneasy grade, and at far less expense for running the cars, we should by. all means interest ourselves in the Auburn route:. The road will be built to Auburn. Capitalists have already given that assurance. The advantages of that route are, in brief: the distance is Jess, the grade far easier, andthe value of the road when once constructed, more, requiring less expense and being more effective in the transportation of upward freight: Governor Weller liasrestored to citizenship Geo. N. Morris;. sent to the Penitentiary in 1855 from this county for an intent: tomurder a Chinaman. Gerrit Smith is fast recovering from his insautty. the press of Sacramento City responds to the call for public works which prom‘se to inure to her benefit, in however comparatively trifling a degree, and the apathy, or outright opposition shown from the same quarter to other projects not less feasable but of vastly more importance. Thus a good word is repeatedly spoken for the wagon road via Placerville, for the California Central ralroad, etc., but with regard to a better transmontane highway and a railrond to Nevada which would pour dollars into the lap of Sacramento where the Central road would dole out cents, silence or sullen hostility is the response. We believe these professed organs of the people of Sacramento do not represent real sentiments, and we appeal direct to the trne citizens of Sacramento to pass judgment upon the facts we are about to present. First, Jet them take into serious consideration the fact that the trade of the northern portion of Nevada County, eastern part of Yuba and all of Sierra goes to Marysville, Next that the projected railroad from Marysville to Benicia is likely to be constructed not long hence. That read built, and how much loss of travel and trade is sustained by Sacramento which might be secured by proper attention to her interests? Let Sacramentans Jock upon a map of the State and consult a table of distances.— They will soon discover that a railroad to Nevada via Auburn must inevita. bly pour the whole tide of commerce of Nevada, Sierra and a portion of Yuba into or throngh Sacramento, — Camptonville in Yuba is but 20 miles from Nevada, while it is 36 miles of wurse road to Marysville. Forest City is 28 miles from Nevada and 58 to Marysvile. <A railroad to Nevada would therefore be 30 miles nearer Forest City than one to Marysville and must turn the stream of travel in tbis direction. While Marysville is endeavoring to coatrol the trade of this section of the State,rich in wealth, and to carry itaway from Sacramento, the citizens of the latter place may becomingly and effectually tap and secure the whole of it. Instead of spending millions on an ox-bow route to deplete Marysville, which, in the event of the construction of a direct road to Marysville from Benicia will be of no comparative, value and only known in the history of faney stack dealers, Sacramento may be wise in using her superfluous wealth, if she haveany,in another direction. Itis the trade ot Sierra and Nevada Counties which makes Marysville proud, which causes her scorn to be a dependency of Sacramento by means ofa rainbow railroad, and which gives her the power to open for herself an avenue direct to the seaboard. Shorn of this trade and she is comparatively impotent and mas% be content to pass her trade by the way of Sacramento for years to come. It is folly to te the people of Marysville, as the press of Sacramento does. that she is laboring against her true interests in attempting to build a railroad to Benicia. It is far otherwise, It is a master stroke of policy. “Marysville aspires to be the more than a rival ot Sacramento. She knows that a railroad to Benicia must cortrol for her one half the trade of Nevada and all the trade of the counties north of Nevada if nothing be done to divert it. She is satisfied that Sacramento shall keep her eyes on the Placerville road and the ox-bow rail track to Marysville, Nothing of that sort will hurt Marysville. She intends to keep the trade she has ard to tap the stream of eastern immigration and trade by a more easy mountain pass than a half million dollars will ever make the Placerville road to be. We ask the true citizens of Sacramento to take the facts into consideration, to examine the matters pertaining. to their welfare, to remember that a railroad to Nevada would reach the only accessable good lumber region in the State, and then judge according to evidence. Little to Do.—Vhe Legislature in session has realiy bet little before it to do, and every ineans at command to do that little wel. A half milllion of dollars in the treasury is at its disposal. the Senatorial question at once; next apply the superfluous casli' in the treasury to lessening the’ State: debt; then, give the people a better attachment law, a few other enactments, pass the necessary appropriation bills, and adjourn. ‘There is nothing ‘o consume the time'uf a long ression. The public is not clamoiing for any measure requiring time to elaborate. A short session is expected, and‘ the people will not be satisfied anless their representatives return’ to’ them within a reasonable period:. Dr. Leib, leader of the Buchanan forces in Illinois against: Douglas has turned Repubtican. First, have an end: to] Tue Roav over THRE MOUNTAINS. In answer to some statements published in the Nevada JourNat iu depreeation of the Placerville route, the Mountain Domocrat remarks} You have been deceived—imposed upon, Disinterested persons who have traveled over both routes assure us that the Placerville rou‘e is far the best, and they prove it by referring to the preference given to it by those who have passed over the rival routes and who are not favorable to the Placerville route. Gentlemen from Nevada, Marysville, Mokelumne Hill, Stockton and other places, who went to Carson Valley by other routes. returned to California, reluct~ lantly, by the Placerville route because the others were impassible.— Is it reasonable to suppose that teamsters and packers, who travel over the road frequently would select the worst ronte?—~and is not the Placerville route the only one now in use? Mere assertion amounts to nothing, unsupported by proof. Both routes have been tested and the preference has been given to the Placervilie route even by “its enemies; and why? Because it is the worst, the Journal would have us believe? A road that is always open and constantly used must be superior to one that is rarely used and frequently closed. We clip the above from the Sacramento Union, a paper that never publishes a scrap of our articles in proof of the superiority of the Hen~ ness over the Placerville route, but never neglects an opportunity to vopy the merest trash in reply. The Union knows the above re marks of the Mountain Democrat amount to nothing. ‘Taken nection with the artiele in the JournAL which they pretend to answer and in conthe Mountain Democrat will be found to resort to pettifugging as we shall prove. Our article stated the reasons why travelers to Washoe returned via the that Placerville route, viz: large droves of stock, in consequence of the deep snowsin Carson Valley had been forced over the Placerville road and had made it passable, and that thousands of dollars expended on that road had been the means of establishing houses by the way side nearer to each other than they were ou the Nevada route. ‘The journey is thus easier for animals from one house to the other on the former than We did not as sert that the Nevada route at this moment when closed was better to travel onthan the Piacerville route when open by an accidental cireumstance. We said, and we still cay, that nature has done more for our route than that by Placerville. The Mouutain Democrat triumph~ antly states as proof of the superiority of the Placerville route that every body from all parts of the State passes over it in preference! They use a crotched stick in some countries to plow with; the niggers use a clumsy grub hoe to work among tobacco. But does this prove that sort of plow, aud that sort of hoe are ou the latter route. superior to the elegant moldboard and the light and shapable hoe?— When our carriage is broken we are sometimes compelled to use a lumber wagon to take the family to church. But is the lumber wagon the’ best?— We have followed the track of a log going tothe mi!l through the deep snow in our school boy days, and have traveled twice as far in that track to reach a point, as the dis< tance was by the road, which was snowed up. Wasthe log track the best? Certainly, says the Mountain Democrat, and “of course” chimes in the Sacramento Union. Mere assertion amourts to nothing, says the Placerville paper. We assent, and repeat the corollary—the above from the Mountain Democrat’ amounts to nothing. A Slight. —The present Legislature has not yet been complimented on the personal beauty or intelligent looks of its members by the Sacramento papers, or we have overlooked the item. Perhaps they are like singed cats— better than they look—which has-not been said of any of their predecessors after a session closed. The correspovdent of the S. F. Bulletin writings from Sacramento, says, “fears are entertaired that Senator Chase will craw-fish, and: sacrifice a noble position to concessions to thediscipline of party.” We have every reason to believe that these fears if they actually exist, are not well founded, and'that,injustice is done Senator Chase, On 17th December, Augustus Stevens, late of Emben, Maine,-was instantly killed by the caving of a bank twelve feet high, in his mining claims on Gold Hill, near Columbia. The deceased was 27 years old. It is reported that A. R. Meloney, Controller, intends hanging on to the office to the exclusion: of Brooks for one year longer. Recently there was stored im the barking house of John Parrot & Co:, in San Francisco, $40,000 worth of silver in bars, without proof The Legislature—The eleventh Legislature of the State of Califor~ nia began its session, in accordance with the Constitution on Monday last. The Senate met; administered the oath of office to new members and adjourned tilf the next day when the following officers were elected: J. R. Beard, of Sacramento, Secretary. D.J. Williamson, of San Francisco, Assistant Secretary. Wm. Hl. Bell, of S. F., Sergeantat-Arms. Jno. McGlenchy, of Tuolumne, Assistant Sergeant-at-Armis. Cyril Hawkins, of Sacramento, Enrolling Clerk. Wm. Letzher, Engrossing Clerk. President pro tem, J. N. Quinn. The Assembly organized on Monday by the election of Phil Moore, of Nevada, Speaker, almost unanimously, when an adjournment was carried to the following day. On Tuesday the House organized fully by the election as follows: Clerk—J. M. Anderson; Assistant Clerk—R. R_ Weston; Sergeant-at-Arms—. W. Tozer; Assistant Sergeant-at-arms—Wm. Newton; _ Enrolling Clerk—E. M. Casey. In effecting an organization the Legislature has done well. The officers selected are in the main efficient gentlemen, fit for the positions to which they have been promoted. Jo. Beard will make a capital Secretary of the Senate, and Phil Moore a better Speaker of the House than has been seen there for some sessions, We join with the Sacramento Union in hoping the Senatorial question will be summarily disposed of. The following is an extract from the London Examiner, portion of an an article in relation to the newly explored country in Africa: “The common fowl and oxen, the latter used only for their flesh and small milk, Lut not for labor, are the only animals which have been do~ mesticated. ‘he horse is unknown, and so is the hardy ass, except to a few Arabian settlers. Man then,has here no helpin histoil, without which any respectable progress towards civilization is #mpossible. A hardy, coarse cotton is grown, and the art of weaving a fatric of corresponding quality is understood. So is the art of making malleable iron, the highest stretch of negro civilization in this part of Africa. Letters are unknown to negroes of the eastern coast. The staple exports consist of the bodies of the inhabitants in bondage, and of the tusks of the slaughtered ele~ phants. The imports correspond in value. I would suggest that President Buchannan send out some prominent politician, some recently defeated exmember of Congress to procure a few quarts of that milk for distribution by the patent office—or to make Treasury pap. Ox milk would probably be passed duty free at the San Francisco Custom House. O'BLENNIS. Flouse Unorganized.—The Wouse of Representatives: still remains unorganized. The Republicans want six votes to elect their Speaker.— Messrs. Haskin,of N. York, and Hickman, of Pa., have already announced their determiration to support a Republican in preference to an Ad« ministration Democrat; the Republicans have, therefore, but four votes to gain to offect an election. The Shasta Herald, speaking of the Senatorial movements by the people of Placer county, ‘ allews” that desperate diseases require desperate remedies. The Herald is a Denver organ. In the course of a recent debate in Congress, Pryor, of Virginia (Dem) and Nelson, of Tennessee (S. O.). had a tiltyin. which accounts agree the former, who took the latter to account for not being a true Southerner, was completely worsted. Neilson, who uttered strong Union sentiments. was repeatedly and _ vociferously cheered. He denottnced sectionaiists and stood by the Union and the Constitution. A member asked if he put the Union above the Constitution. He said he put them ‘together, for one cannot exist without the other. Again, he said as far as ‘Tennessee was concerned he could say that no man there of any note sympathizes with the disunion sentiments In reply to a question by Pryor, he said that as much as he would deprecate the election of a Black Republicartt President, would: be no eause for dissolution, for ‘hey ought to wait and see whether they would do anythimg injurious to the rights of the South. Nelson we have’ro doubt, expreses the true sentiment of conservative Southern men. The jewel box of an Egyptian Queen, which was found in one of the King’s tomhs in Egypt, has been taken to Paris, and‘has excited considerable attention. ‘The workmanship is spoken cf as‘miost elaborate, and exquisite in design and execution,and ‘it is-said'¢anvot be surpassed by the artists-of the present day.

Insanity.—During the past year, ninety persons have been sent to the Insane Asylum. The Bulletin says: Well-marked physical disease seemed to be the immediate cause, in some twenty percent. of cases. Eight per cent. took the form of religious mania, but whether the religious excitement was the cause or the consequence of the eraziness, does not appears Eleven per cent, had their origin in domésti¢ trouble, ix most of which cases the family of the lunatit was not in California More than twenty per cent. were known to be intemperate. Eleven per cent. had « hereditary tendency toinsanity. Self-abuse was the undoubted cause in six per cent. of the cases, and probably closer investigation would show that this was far below the true number. Professor Lowe,x—Vhs next mail will probably bring us some news in relation to the projected trip of Prof. Lowe across the Atlantic in his mammoth-balloon., By the last we re‘ceived statements that the monster was nearly inflated, and that one more day would probably complete the work.

There is a ood deal of excitement to-day relative to the Senatorial contest. The Governor yesterdaf, in a message informed the Legislature of the death of Broderick and of the vacancy occasioned thereby; whereupon considerable talk was had, and @ strong desire manifested by the friends of Wellet to bring the matter to a vote immediately. If a vote could be had now I think Weller would be successful. The Governor has not yet sént in his message but will probably do se to-morrow. The Senate yesterday adopted a joint resolution requesting our Representatives in Congress to favora Territorial organization for the Western portion of Utah. The Standard of this morning fublishes a call for the Democratic members of the Legislature to meet in caucus to night at the Assembly chamber for the purpose of nominating a U.S. Senator. It is now raining. Rev. Martin Kellogg has been appointed to a professorship in the California College. other place it will be seen that the reverend gentleman will discoure up= on Education at the Congregational Church on Sunday next. Found Another.—Contrary to expectation the Seuate of California found another man besides Stonehill willing to take the office of Sergeants at-Arins and bestowed it upon him— another instance of the ingratitude of Republies. Tre Jupps.—The Judd brothers . long confined in the Crescent City jail, accused of murdering the peddlar Rosenheim, have beer tried and acquitted.

NEVADA JOURNAL A Ciry UNMINDFUL or Her Trve INTERESTS.~We have long observed ERIDAY MORNING, Jan. 6, 1860. . the alacrity with which a portion of a NevapDa AND HER Rait Roap-—We are about to present some facts to the people of Nevada County to which we wotldinvite close attention. These facts go to determine where the interests of our County lie in connec-~ tion with a railroad. No one doubts that .voner or later a communication with the seaboard by railway isinevitable. A railroad, by virtae of our resources and wants must sometime become a necessity.— We are among the majority in believing that necessity now to exist.— Whatever diversity of opinion may prevail on this point, all will agree it is wise to look around us, be forewarned and forearmed to protect our interests in time. Accordingly the citizens of Nevada City have raised a handsome sum of money to survey a railroad route to Auburn in Placer County, and a competent engineer with a corps of assistants adequate to the task will enter upon the work immediately. We propose to present the reasons for a connection with Sacramento via Auburn. By an examination of the report of T. D. Judah, Chief Engiueer of the California Central Railroad, we find that Auburn is 1156 above Sacramento, Folsom 175 above Sacramento, and therefore Auburn is 975 feet higher than Folsom. The point taken at Auburn by Judah was the Placer Herald office which is in the lowest part of the town, while the survey of Hon. Sherman Day establishes the terminus at Auburn of the Auburn and Folsom road at full sixty feet higher, which will make the as-~ cent gained from Felsom to Auburn on the proposed road between the two places, 1,035 feet. The elevation of Lincoln above Sacramento, if anything, we cannot ascertain exactly, but sufficiently so Going for all practical yurposes. from Folsom towards Lincoln we find, by Judah’s report, that the Half Way Hfouse is 25 feet Jower than Folsom requiring a descending grade towards Lincoln. The latter place stands out on the plain on Auburn ravine, and to the eye would seem to be but little . higher than Sacramento. But we have data somewhat to the point of determining the relative altitudes of Auburn and Lineoln. According to the report of Judah before us, there is a fall of 740 feet from Auburn to Gold Hill which is seven miles from Lincoln. Allowing but 20 feet fall to the mile‘for the remaining seven miles and we have $80 feet, the altitude of the Placer Herald office above Lincoln, Add 60 feet for the elevation of the Auburn depot, on the railroad to Folsom, above the Herald office, and we have the approximate altitude of Auburn at 940 feet above Lincoln, which is absolutely less than the actual difference. These facts are significant, and demonstrate that the interests of Nevada County lie in a connection with Auburn by railroad, for we have a route a few miles shorter than to Lincoln and we may safely say with 940 feet less ascent to overcome. Indeeda railroad from Nevada to Lincola may be pronounced impracticable. The hills are too abrupt in the vicinity of Lincoln to run a railroad in this direction. The~spur railroad proposed from Gold Hill to tLe California Central, we find on investigation can be of but little gractical benefit to this County. Indeed if we design to have a good railroad connection with the Sacramento Valley the extension railroad will rather be a curse thana blessing if completed. We cannot connect with it without overcoming about 2,000 feet ascent, whereas on the Auburn route we have but about half. that number of feet to overcome. Nevada is, in round numbers, 2,200 feet above the sea level, or say 2,100 above Sacramento. She is then 1,050 higher tban Auburn. Now an elevation of 1,035-feet has been easily overcomein 19 miles, the distance between Folsom and’ Auburn. It is evident then, the route being practicable, that an elevation of 1,050 feet can be easily met’ in 28 mileg, the distance between Neyada’and Auburn. Tf, then, we desire a railroad to this city with aneasy grade, and at far less expense for running the cars, we should by. all means interest ourselves in the Auburn route:. The road will be built to Auburn. Capitalists have already given that assurance. The advantages of that route are, in brief: the distance is Jess, the grade far easier, andthe value of the road when once constructed, more, requiring less expense and being more effective in the transportation of upward freight: Governor Weller liasrestored to citizenship Geo. N. Morris;. sent to the Penitentiary in 1855 from this county for an intent: tomurder a Chinaman. Gerrit Smith is fast recovering from his insautty. the press of Sacramento City responds to the call for public works which prom‘se to inure to her benefit, in however comparatively trifling a degree, and the apathy, or outright opposition shown from the same quarter to other projects not less feasable but of vastly more importance. Thus a good word is repeatedly spoken for the wagon road via Placerville, for the California Central ralroad, etc., but with regard to a better transmontane highway and a railrond to Nevada which would pour dollars into the lap of Sacramento where the Central road would dole out cents, silence or sullen hostility is the response. We believe these professed organs of the people of Sacramento do not represent real sentiments, and we appeal direct to the trne citizens of Sacramento to pass judgment upon the facts we are about to present. First, Jet them take into serious consideration the fact that the trade of the northern portion of Nevada County, eastern part of Yuba and all of Sierra goes to Marysville, Next that the projected railroad from Marysville to Benicia is likely to be constructed not long hence. That read built, and how much loss of travel and trade is sustained by Sacramento which might be secured by proper attention to her interests? Let Sacramentans Jock upon a map of the State and consult a table of distances.— They will soon discover that a railroad to Nevada via Auburn must inevita. bly pour the whole tide of commerce of Nevada, Sierra and a portion of Yuba into or throngh Sacramento, — Camptonville in Yuba is but 20 miles from Nevada, while it is 36 miles of wurse road to Marysville. Forest City is 28 miles from Nevada and 58 to Marysvile. <A railroad to Nevada would therefore be 30 miles nearer Forest City than one to Marysville and must turn the stream of travel in tbis direction. While Marysville is endeavoring to coatrol the trade of this section of the State,rich in wealth, and to carry itaway from Sacramento, the citizens of the latter place may becomingly and effectually tap and secure the whole of it. Instead of spending millions on an ox-bow route to deplete Marysville, which, in the event of the construction of a direct road to Marysville from Benicia will be of no comparative, value and only known in the history of faney stack dealers, Sacramento may be wise in using her superfluous wealth, if she haveany,in another direction. Itis the trade ot Sierra and Nevada Counties which makes Marysville proud, which causes her scorn to be a dependency of Sacramento by means ofa rainbow railroad, and which gives her the power to open for herself an avenue direct to the seaboard. Shorn of this trade and she is comparatively impotent and mas% be content to pass her trade by the way of Sacramento for years to come. It is folly to te the people of Marysville, as the press of Sacramento does. that she is laboring against her true interests in attempting to build a railroad to Benicia. It is far otherwise, It is a master stroke of policy. “Marysville aspires to be the more than a rival ot Sacramento. She knows that a railroad to Benicia must cortrol for her one half the trade of Nevada and all the trade of the counties north of Nevada if nothing be done to divert it. She is satisfied that Sacramento shall keep her eyes on the Placerville road and the ox-bow rail track to Marysville, Nothing of that sort will hurt Marysville. She intends to keep the trade she has ard to tap the stream of eastern immigration and trade by a more easy mountain pass than a half million dollars will ever make the Placerville road to be. We ask the true citizens of Sacramento to take the facts into consideration, to examine the matters pertaining. to their welfare, to remember that a railroad to Nevada would reach the only accessable good lumber region in the State, and then judge according to evidence. Little to Do.—Vhe Legislature in session has realiy bet little before it to do, and every ineans at command to do that little wel. A half milllion of dollars in the treasury is at its disposal. the Senatorial question at once; next apply the superfluous casli' in the treasury to lessening the’ State: debt; then, give the people a better attachment law, a few other enactments, pass the necessary appropriation bills, and adjourn. ‘There is nothing ‘o consume the time'uf a long ression. The public is not clamoiing for any measure requiring time to elaborate. A short session is expected, and‘ the people will not be satisfied anless their representatives return’ to’ them within a reasonable period:. Dr. Leib, leader of the Buchanan forces in Illinois against: Douglas has turned Repubtican. First, have an end: to] Tue Roav over THRE MOUNTAINS. In answer to some statements published in the Nevada JourNat iu depreeation of the Placerville route, the Mountain Domocrat remarks} You have been deceived—imposed upon, Disinterested persons who have traveled over both routes assure us that the Placerville rou‘e is far the best, and they prove it by referring to the preference given to it by those who have passed over the rival routes and who are not favorable to the Placerville route. Gentlemen from Nevada, Marysville, Mokelumne Hill, Stockton and other places, who went to Carson Valley by other routes. returned to California, reluct~ lantly, by the Placerville route because the others were impassible.— Is it reasonable to suppose that teamsters and packers, who travel over the road frequently would select the worst ronte?—~and is not the Placerville route the only one now in use? Mere assertion amounts to nothing, unsupported by proof. Both routes have been tested and the preference has been given to the Placervilie route even by “its enemies; and why? Because it is the worst, the Journal would have us believe? A road that is always open and constantly used must be superior to one that is rarely used and frequently closed. We clip the above from the Sacramento Union, a paper that never publishes a scrap of our articles in proof of the superiority of the Hen~ ness over the Placerville route, but never neglects an opportunity to vopy the merest trash in reply. The Union knows the above re marks of the Mountain Democrat amount to nothing. ‘Taken nection with the artiele in the JournAL which they pretend to answer and in conthe Mountain Democrat will be found to resort to pettifugging as we shall prove. Our article stated the reasons why travelers to Washoe returned via the that Placerville route, viz: large droves of stock, in consequence of the deep snowsin Carson Valley had been forced over the Placerville road and had made it passable, and that thousands of dollars expended on that road had been the means of establishing houses by the way side nearer to each other than they were ou the Nevada route. ‘The journey is thus easier for animals from one house to the other on the former than We did not as sert that the Nevada route at this moment when closed was better to travel onthan the Piacerville route when open by an accidental cireumstance. We said, and we still cay, that nature has done more for our route than that by Placerville. The Mouutain Democrat triumph~ antly states as proof of the superiority of the Placerville route that every body from all parts of the State passes over it in preference! They use a crotched stick in some countries to plow with; the niggers use a clumsy grub hoe to work among tobacco. But does this prove that sort of plow, aud that sort of hoe are ou the latter route. superior to the elegant moldboard and the light and shapable hoe?— When our carriage is broken we are sometimes compelled to use a lumber wagon to take the family to church. But is the lumber wagon the’ best?— We have followed the track of a log going tothe mi!l through the deep snow in our school boy days, and have traveled twice as far in that track to reach a point, as the dis< tance was by the road, which was snowed up. Wasthe log track the best? Certainly, says the Mountain Democrat, and “of course” chimes in the Sacramento Union. Mere assertion amourts to nothing, says the Placerville paper. We assent, and repeat the corollary—the above from the Mountain Democrat’ amounts to nothing. A Slight. —The present Legislature has not yet been complimented on the personal beauty or intelligent looks of its members by the Sacramento papers, or we have overlooked the item. Perhaps they are like singed cats— better than they look—which has-not been said of any of their predecessors after a session closed. The correspovdent of the S. F. Bulletin writings from Sacramento, says, “fears are entertaired that Senator Chase will craw-fish, and: sacrifice a noble position to concessions to thediscipline of party.” We have every reason to believe that these fears if they actually exist, are not well founded, and'that,injustice is done Senator Chase, On 17th December, Augustus Stevens, late of Emben, Maine,-was instantly killed by the caving of a bank twelve feet high, in his mining claims on Gold Hill, near Columbia. The deceased was 27 years old. It is reported that A. R. Meloney, Controller, intends hanging on to the office to the exclusion: of Brooks for one year longer. Recently there was stored im the barking house of John Parrot & Co:, in San Francisco, $40,000 worth of silver in bars, without proof The Legislature—The eleventh Legislature of the State of Califor~ nia began its session, in accordance with the Constitution on Monday last. The Senate met; administered the oath of office to new members and adjourned tilf the next day when the following officers were elected: J. R. Beard, of Sacramento, Secretary. D.J. Williamson, of San Francisco, Assistant Secretary. Wm. Hl. Bell, of S. F., Sergeantat-Arms. Jno. McGlenchy, of Tuolumne, Assistant Sergeant-at-Armis. Cyril Hawkins, of Sacramento, Enrolling Clerk. Wm. Letzher, Engrossing Clerk. President pro tem, J. N. Quinn. The Assembly organized on Monday by the election of Phil Moore, of Nevada, Speaker, almost unanimously, when an adjournment was carried to the following day. On Tuesday the House organized fully by the election as follows: Clerk—J. M. Anderson; Assistant Clerk—R. R_ Weston; Sergeant-at-Arms—. W. Tozer; Assistant Sergeant-at-arms—Wm. Newton; _ Enrolling Clerk—E. M. Casey. In effecting an organization the Legislature has done well. The officers selected are in the main efficient gentlemen, fit for the positions to which they have been promoted. Jo. Beard will make a capital Secretary of the Senate, and Phil Moore a better Speaker of the House than has been seen there for some sessions, We join with the Sacramento Union in hoping the Senatorial question will be summarily disposed of. The following is an extract from the London Examiner, portion of an an article in relation to the newly explored country in Africa: “The common fowl and oxen, the latter used only for their flesh and small milk, Lut not for labor, are the only animals which have been do~ mesticated. ‘he horse is unknown, and so is the hardy ass, except to a few Arabian settlers. Man then,has here no helpin histoil, without which any respectable progress towards civilization is #mpossible. A hardy, coarse cotton is grown, and the art of weaving a fatric of corresponding quality is understood. So is the art of making malleable iron, the highest stretch of negro civilization in this part of Africa. Letters are unknown to negroes of the eastern coast. The staple exports consist of the bodies of the inhabitants in bondage, and of the tusks of the slaughtered ele~ phants. The imports correspond in value. I would suggest that President Buchannan send out some prominent politician, some recently defeated exmember of Congress to procure a few quarts of that milk for distribution by the patent office—or to make Treasury pap. Ox milk would probably be passed duty free at the San Francisco Custom House. O'BLENNIS. Flouse Unorganized.—The Wouse of Representatives: still remains unorganized. The Republicans want six votes to elect their Speaker.— Messrs. Haskin,of N. York, and Hickman, of Pa., have already announced their determiration to support a Republican in preference to an Ad« ministration Democrat; the Republicans have, therefore, but four votes to gain to offect an election. The Shasta Herald, speaking of the Senatorial movements by the people of Placer county, ‘ allews” that desperate diseases require desperate remedies. The Herald is a Denver organ. In the course of a recent debate in Congress, Pryor, of Virginia (Dem) and Nelson, of Tennessee (S. O.). had a tiltyin. which accounts agree

the former, who took the latter to account for not being a true Southerner, was completely worsted. Neilson, who uttered strong Union sentiments. was repeatedly and _ vociferously cheered. He denottnced sectionaiists and stood by the Union and the Constitution.. A member asked if he put the Union above the Constitution. He said he put them ‘together, for one cannot exist without the other. Again, he said as far as ‘Tennessee was concerned he could say that no man there of any note sympathizes with the disunion sentiments In reply to a question by Pryor, he said that as much as he would deprecate the election of a Black Republicartt President, would: be no eause for dissolution, for ‘hey ought to wait and see whether they would do anythimg injurious to the rights of the South. Nelson we have’ro doubt, expreses the true sentiment of conservative Southern men. The jewel box of an Egyptian Queen, which was found in one of the King’s tomhs in Egypt, has been taken to Paris, and‘has excited considerable attention. ‘The workmanship is spoken cf as‘miost elaborate, and exquisite in design and execution,and ‘it is-said'¢anvot be surpassed by the artists-of the present day.

Insanity.—During the past year, ninety persons have been sent to the Insane Asylum. The Bulletin says: Well-marked physical disease seemed to be the immediate cause, in some twenty percent. of cases. Eight per cent. took the form of religious mania, but whether the religious excitement was the cause or the consequence of the eraziness, does not appears Eleven per cent, had their origin in domésti¢ trouble, ix most of which cases the family of the lunatit was not in California More than twenty per cent. were known to be intemperate. Eleven per cent. had « hereditary tendency toinsanity. Self-abuse was the undoubted cause in six per cent. of the cases, and probably closer investigation would show that this was far below the true number.
