ITE HENNESS PASS ROUTE. During my journey last Aprilto Virginia City, . over the Placerville route, it was my good fortune ; to make the acquaintanee of the late and lament. ed Henry Meredith, of Nevada, who was positive in his epinion that the route via the Henness iPass would ultimately ‘be found far superior to , any other; and it was with exceeding regret that TI found notrail had been broken through the snow, and that I was unable for this reason, to return via the route named, to examine and report upon its practicabilitv. My interest in'the subject was revived again last week, while visit'ing the Marysville Fair, upon learning thata company of enterprising gentlemen, chiefly citizens of that place, were engaged in constructing a good wagon road over the Henness Pass route, with a view of putting its claims fairly in competition with those of its rivals. Determined to Sen snertine passage of teams going in site directions, and their most difficult points involve an ascent of only sixteen inches to the rod in coming east, , and seventeen going west.

A meeting of the citizens of Columbia Nevada county, friendly to the election of John Bell, of Tennessee, to the Presidency, and Edward Everett, of Massachusetts, to the Vice Presideticy of the United States, was held at Putnam’s Saloon, on Saturday evening, Sept. ldth, for the ese ‘of organising a Bel Everett Club. . _ The object of the meeting was stated by Mr. , Putnam, who moved to proceed with the organi, of the Club.

He had another horse in his possession when he came to San Anbg which he sold to John Huberty for 40. “FREE Love.”—We have received two differ. ent letters from Columbia, Tuclumne county, in relation to the subjoined item, which appeared . in this paper on the 24th of March last. As we . have but one paper of the aboxe:date, and that . on our file, we copy the article for the benefit of . those who seem to be so anxious to possess it: “FREE LOVE AND ITS REWARDs—The wife of an honest blacksmith, who follows his trade at Valiejo, allowed herself to be lured from virtue by aman named Young, who was boarding with j her in her hhusband’s house at San Francisco.— . She left her home in August last, taking the only . child of herrelf and husband, and finally came . to North San Juan, where she lived with Young, . and was known as his wife, until he flogged her, a Short time since, when she had him arrested . on a charge of assault and battery. This charge . was, however, withdrawn. The parties agreed to a divisicn of property, separated, and left . town. We learn that the unhappy woman has} since been restored to her husband, through the intercession of a friend. He had not known of . her previous whereabouts.” One of our correspondents in relation to this affair, wishes us to furnish him with an affidavit, ! setting forth “the facts of the story,” and he . ‘will pay all bills.” He has here all the facts of . which we are possessed. If he wishes to colleet + testimony to use before a court of justice, the . proper person to address is a lawyer, with at least $20 enclosed as a retaining fee. We suggest the name of Jos. Kutz, Esq., of this place, as a suitable person to attend to the matter. -2@e—_——— } Tue Treasury “RAKED.”—At one time, last . winter, there was over four hundred thousand . dollars in the General Fund of the State Treas. ury. Qn Saturday last, as we learn from the . Sacramento Post, it was reduced down to $3,484 44—an amount less, by $6,500, than would meet . . . . the accruing monthly salaries of the State officers! . Now, voters! an eleetion is coming off, and . here’s a chance for reform. Support no man for . the Legislature who does not piedge himself to assist in reducing the salaries, postage accounts, contingents, porter allowances and offiee rents of the State officers. . Several of these latter . worthies are drawing more, annually, out of the State Treasury, for the purposes above named, by from two thousand to twenty-four hundred , doilars, than does the Governor of the State. To satisfy yourselves on this head, take a look at , the last General Apprbpriation Bill. The abuse is monstrous, and has, as may plainly be seen, . dress of the purest white, adown which her luxu. already reduced the State to an actual condition of bankruptcy ! : gee = THE ADVANTAGE.—Mr. Simonton says a team can haul, over the Truckee Turnpike, on the . Henness Pass route, about 11,000 pounds, or 3,000 pounds more freight, than a team of the same number of animals, could haul over the Placerville route. Now, if freight commanded seven cents a pound, the advantage to the teamster on the Henness Pass route, would be, $210 for each wagon—a sum more than sufficient to ! ceived and prosecuted by a private company, unaided by the counties through which it passes, and expecting support from no other quarter. Its work has been done well, and a reward for all the risks taken, is certain to come hereafter. It now cnly remains for the citizens of Marysville to be up and doing. That city is destined, when her railroad is completed from Vallejo, to become the great central mart of the valley trade, of which this extensive northern, north-eastern and eastern mountain country will form the radius.— Trade has already commenced with the Washoe region via.of the Henness Pass.— Marysville must use greater efforts for its extension and centinuance. Her citizens should make some active and united effort to put the facts before the people of Washoe; and not only secure a sale for the supplies wit which that country is farnished, but ; also the carrying trade of her silver ores, now taken via of Placerville, at much greater cost and dificulty than would attend its transportation over the Truckee Turnpike, via of the Henness Pass. We commend the perusal of Mr. Simonton’s letter to our readers. It setties definitely and forever, we think, tue controversy about thesuperiority of routes. There is but one good route, and he has told us—avith the why and the wherefore—which reute that is. We shail be much disappointed if an ; impulse is not at once given to travel and trade over it; but must repeat—that to Marysville, who is to derive so great an advantage from this trade, belongs the duty of acting at once and vigorously to secure the desired end. «ee --—__-—-THE FANCIFUL AND REAL.—A Panama correspondent of some paper, gives the following hyfalutin description of an Indian girl which he saw. We shall style it THE FanciFuL.—She was attired in a loose riant hair fell, plaitedin broad plaits, beingofan almost ineredible length. Her complexion was a soft tinted olive, a good rich color, but yet so delicate withal that the slightest emotion was sufficient to send the crimson to her cheeks. Each rounded arm was enclosed in a curiously shaped and costly bracelet, andin her ears were strangely fashioned pendants, somewhat in the form of acrescent. Her forehead was exquisitely chiseled, and her features almost Grecian in contour. And how shall I ever describe those glorious, dreamy eyes! their fathomless depths of liquid blue, or those long drooping lashes, which ever and anon eame down like silk curtains. Tuer REAL—We have before our mind’s-eye, defray the entire expenses of the trip.

SAN JUAN, IT6 HYDRAULICS AND HOMES, The town of North San Juan is, by far, the most alive of any passed on the road from Marysville. I need not say it is the center of some of : the most extensive mining operations in the State. Probably nowhere else is the hydraulic process of gold mining more perfectly or more profitably conducted; and there is room in its vicinity still for the employment of a large amount of capital. + * west It is claimed for San Juan, that here were invented many of the most valuable improvements in modes of hydraulic mining, and in the necessary machinery and appliances—so that now, one man can do the work which formerly required the united efforts of half a dozen; and distriets that formerly were considered seareely worth working at ail, are made to yield exceedingly Tich returns for the labor expended upon them. But San Juan is noticeawie not merely for its mining enterprise. Its families and homes, nestled in many a neat though unpretending cottage, surrounded by flourishing orchards and gardens, with cultivated roses and honeysuckles clambering over door and window, and healthy, rosy, merry children, makimg the air vocal with their give it am air of comfort and permanence in strong contrast with the squalid, temporary and make-shift character of too many of the mining cainps. DESCRIPTION OF THE HENNESS PASS ROAD. * * * Leaving the town (San Juan) our road descended immediately by a handsome grade to the middle fork of the Yuba, which we crossed by bridge at a distance of about two miles.— Thence, by another easy grade, we surmounted the first hill, traveled along its ridge, aad reached Pium Valley, distant 12 miles from San Juan. Here is one of the best stopping places upon the route. Still ascending, we soon reached the top of the ridge dividing the waters of the Middle and North Yuba, keeping along it for a distance of more than 20 miles, when we descended somewhat again, to Milton’s, 35 miles from San Juan. The reader must not suppose that the descents referred to, are equivalent to the ascents made on the journey Eastward. It is one of the marked advantages of this route, that when the traveler has toiled up a hill, he finds he is not compelled to lose ail his labor by immediately going . just as far down again. Of course, in passing ! over so rugged a country, it is impossible to have ‘a perfectly level road. “There must be more or ess depression at different points. But it is justly claimed for the Henness Pass route, that it 1it involves far less alternations of ascent and descent than any other. From Miiton’s to Jackson’s Ranch, the distance is3} miles. Here is the junction between the San Juan road anda recently graded road from Nevada, etc. * * * <A few miles east of Jackson’s, and jsfst before coming in sight of Truckee Lake—a beautiful sheet of water—the road crosses the summit of the Sierras by a grade so easy, that the traveler is quite unaware of the fact that he has passed the barrier, until he finds the water-courses reversed and running towards the east. From the summit until we approach within five or six miles of Virginia City, the Henness Pass road traverses a series of level ‘table lands and vallies, divided by comparatively low ridges, easily crossed and scarcely requiring grading at sll, wfth the exception of what is known as-Dog Valley Hill. This is at present, perhaps the most troublesome point on the route; but by the time this letter can appear in print, a hundred men will be at work grading that portion of the route also, and making its present difficulties as easy to surmount as were those which have already nearly vanished under the skillful engineering of the superintendent of this enterprise. COMPARISON OF THIS WITH THE PLACERVILLE ROUTE, Having crossed the mountains several times by the Placerville route, I am able to draw a comparison which will render the respective advantages of the two quite clear to those who have traveled either. The road from Placerville, finely graded though it is, has greater heights to overcome, and is compelled to seek the lower levels much more often than does the Henness Pass road. The former traverses few valleys or table lands, until it reaches Carson Valley; and when the traveler has pushed his way up the steep side of one mountain spur, it is only to descend again on the other side, and repeat the operation over and over again, half a dozen times. The approach to the summit, as every body knows, is very arduous, and the graded road by which the descent thence to Lake Valley is made, is long, steep, and difficult. The second summit—that between Lake Valley and Carson Cation—which was formerly one of the terrors of the route, fortunately is avoided now by the Daggett trail; but I do not hesitate to say, that the heavily loaded team must necessarily expend more force in dragging over the steep acclivities which separate Strawberry and Lake valleys, than is necessary to overcome all the grades between the first crossing of the Yuba and the Steamboat Valley, on the Henness Pass route. These are facts which will sooner or later be admitted, and availed by all who are engaged in transporting merchandise or precious metals over the mountains. ADVANTAGES CLAIMED FOR THE NEW ROAD. The Henness Pass road-makers will not quite finish their work during the present season; but another month will have removed every obstacle that would prove a serious barrier to rod spa a of teams hauling, say, 11,000 poundseach, T projectors of the Truckee Turnpike, as it is called, claim that an ordinary freighting team can haul at least 3,000 pounds more per trip via the Henness Pass than via Strawberry Valley ; and I should judge their estimates not at all exagger ated. Certainly they have given us the best mountain road I ever saw in any country. It is abundantly supplied with bridges, avoids . teint sentence eaeaitipa ie cihlanahisbinipecieaiiciniabialitieisnbis j low, swampy junds, nak ace the mudgrades are all wide enough for the holes.

ITE HENNESS PASS ROUTE. During my journey last Aprilto Virginia City, . over the Placerville route, it was my good fortune ; to make the acquaintanee of the late and lament. ed Henry Meredith, of Nevada, who was positive in his epinion that the route via the Henness iPass would ultimately ‘be found far superior to , any other; and it was with exceeding regret that TI found notrail had been broken through the snow, and that I was unable for this reason, to return via the route named, to examine and report upon its practicabilitv. My interest in'the subject was revived again last week, while visit'ing the Marysville Fair, upon learning thata company of enterprising gentlemen, chiefly citizens of that place, were engaged in constructing a good wagon road over the Henness Pass route, with a view of putting its claims fairly in competition with those of its rivals. Determined to Sen snertine passage of teams going in site directions, and their most difficult points involve an ascent of only sixteen inches to the rod in coming east, , and seventeen going west.

A meeting of the citizens of Columbia Nevada county, friendly to the election of John Bell, of Tennessee, to the Presidency, and Edward Everett, of Massachusetts, to the Vice Presideticy of the United States, was held at Putnam’s Saloon, on Saturday evening, Sept. ldth, for the ese ‘of organising a Bel Everett Club. . _ The object of the meeting was stated by Mr. , Putnam, who moved to proceed with the organi, of the Club.

He had another horse in his possession when he came to San Anbg which he sold to John Huberty for 40. “FREE Love.”—We have received two differ. ent letters from Columbia, Tuclumne county, in relation to the subjoined item, which appeared . in this paper on the 24th of March last. As we . have but one paper of the aboxe:date, and that . on our file, we copy the article for the benefit of . those who seem to be so anxious to possess it: “FREE LOVE AND ITS REWARDs—The wife of an honest blacksmith, who follows his trade at Valiejo, allowed herself to be lured from virtue by aman named Young, who was boarding with j her in her hhusband’s house at San Francisco.— . She left her home in August last, taking the only . child of herrelf and husband, and finally came . to North San Juan, where she lived with Young, . and was known as his wife, until he flogged her, a Short time since, when she had him arrested . on a charge of assault and battery. This charge . was, however, withdrawn. The parties agreed to a divisicn of property, separated, and left . town. We learn that the unhappy woman has} since been restored to her husband, through the intercession of a friend. He had not known of . her previous whereabouts.” One of our correspondents in relation to this affair, wishes us to furnish him with an affidavit, ! setting forth “the facts of the story,” and he . ‘will pay all bills.” He has here all the facts of . which we are possessed. If he wishes to colleet + testimony to use before a court of justice, the . proper person to address is a lawyer, with at least $20 enclosed as a retaining fee. We suggest the name of Jos. Kutz, Esq., of this place, as a suitable person to attend to the matter. -2@e—_——— } Tue Treasury “RAKED.”—At one time, last . winter, there was over four hundred thousand . dollars in the General Fund of the State Treas. ury. Qn Saturday last, as we learn from the . Sacramento Post, it was reduced down to $3,484 44—an amount less, by $6,500, than would meet . . . . the accruing monthly salaries of the State officers! . Now, voters! an eleetion is coming off, and . here’s a chance for reform. Support no man for . the Legislature who does not piedge himself to assist in reducing the salaries, postage accounts, contingents, porter allowances and offiee rents of the State officers. . Several of these latter . worthies are drawing more, annually, out of the State Treasury, for the purposes above named, by from two thousand to twenty-four hundred , doilars, than does the Governor of the State. To satisfy yourselves on this head, take a look at , the last General Apprbpriation Bill. The abuse is monstrous, and has, as may plainly be seen, . dress of the purest white, adown which her luxu. already reduced the State to an actual condition of bankruptcy ! : gee = THE ADVANTAGE.—Mr. Simonton says a team can haul, over the Truckee Turnpike, on the . Henness Pass route, about 11,000 pounds, or 3,000 pounds more freight, than a team of the same number of animals, could haul over the Placerville route. Now, if freight commanded seven cents a pound, the advantage to the teamster on the Henness Pass route, would be, $210 for each wagon—a sum more than sufficient to ! ceived and prosecuted by a private company, unaided by the counties through which it passes, and expecting support from no other quarter. Its work has been done well, and a reward for all the risks taken, is certain to come hereafter. It now cnly remains for the citizens of Marysville to be up and doing. That city is destined, when her railroad is completed from Vallejo, to become the great central mart of the valley trade, of which this extensive northern, north-eastern and eastern mountain country will form the radius.— Trade has already commenced with the Washoe region via.of the Henness Pass.— Marysville must use greater efforts for its extension and centinuance. Her citizens should make some active and united effort to put the facts before the people of Washoe; and not only secure a sale for the supplies wit which that country is farnished, but ; also the carrying trade of her silver ores, now taken via of Placerville, at much greater cost and dificulty than would attend its transportation over the Truckee Turnpike, via of the Henness Pass. We commend the perusal of Mr. Simonton’s letter to our readers. It setties definitely and forever, we think, tue controversy about thesuperiority of routes. There is but one good route, and he has told us—avith the why and the wherefore—which reute that is. We shail be much disappointed if an ; impulse is not at once given to travel and trade over it; but must repeat—that to Marysville, who is to derive so great an advantage from this trade, belongs the duty of acting at once and vigorously to secure the desired end. «ee --—__-—-THE FANCIFUL AND REAL.—A Panama correspondent of some paper, gives the following hyfalutin description of an Indian girl which he saw. We shall style it THE FanciFuL.—She was attired in a loose riant hair fell, plaitedin broad plaits, beingofan almost ineredible length. Her complexion was a soft tinted olive, a good rich color, but yet so delicate withal that the slightest emotion was sufficient to send the crimson to her cheeks. Each rounded arm was enclosed in a curiously shaped and costly bracelet, andin her ears were strangely fashioned pendants, somewhat in the form of acrescent. Her forehead was exquisitely chiseled, and her features almost Grecian in contour. And how shall I ever describe those glorious, dreamy eyes! their fathomless depths of liquid blue, or those long drooping lashes, which ever and anon eame down like silk curtains. Tuer REAL—We have before our mind’s-eye, defray the entire expenses of the trip.

SAN JUAN, IT6 HYDRAULICS AND HOMES, The town of North San Juan is, by far, the most alive of any passed on the road from Marysville. I need not say it is the center of some of : the most extensive mining operations in the State. Probably nowhere else is the hydraulic process of gold mining more perfectly or more profitably conducted; and there is room in its vicinity still for the employment of a large amount of capital. + * west It is claimed for San Juan, that here were invented many of the most valuable improvements in modes of hydraulic mining, and in the necessary machinery and appliances—so that now, one man can do the work which formerly required the united efforts of half a dozen; and distriets that formerly were considered seareely worth working at ail, are made to yield exceedingly Tich returns for the labor expended upon them. But San Juan is noticeawie not merely for its mining enterprise. Its families and homes, nestled in many a neat though unpretending cottage, surrounded by flourishing orchards and gardens, with cultivated roses and honeysuckles clambering over door and window, and healthy, rosy, merry children, makimg the air vocal with their give it am air of comfort and permanence in strong contrast with the squalid, temporary and make-shift character of too many of the mining cainps. DESCRIPTION OF THE HENNESS PASS ROAD. * * * Leaving the town (San Juan) our road descended immediately by a handsome grade to the middle fork of the Yuba, which we crossed by bridge at a distance of about two miles.— Thence, by another easy grade, we surmounted the first hill, traveled along its ridge, aad reached Pium Valley, distant 12 miles from San Juan. Here is one of the best stopping places upon the route. Still ascending, we soon reached the top of the ridge dividing the waters of the Middle and North Yuba, keeping along it for a distance of more than 20 miles, when we descended somewhat again, to Milton’s, 35 miles from San Juan. The reader must not suppose that the descents referred to, are equivalent to the ascents made on the journey Eastward. It is one of the marked advantages of this route, that when the traveler has toiled up a hill, he finds he is not compelled to lose ail his labor by immediately going . just as far down again. Of course, in passing ! over so rugged a country, it is impossible to have ‘a perfectly level road. “There must be more or ess depression at different points. But it is justly claimed for the Henness Pass route, that it 1it involves far less alternations of ascent and descent than any other. From Miiton’s to Jackson’s Ranch, the distance is3} miles. Here is the junction between the San Juan road anda recently graded road from Nevada, etc. * * * <A few miles east of Jackson’s, and jsfst before coming in sight of Truckee Lake—a beautiful sheet of water—the road crosses the summit of the Sierras by a grade so easy, that the traveler is quite unaware of the fact that he has passed the barrier, until he finds the water-courses reversed and running towards the east. From the summit until we approach within five or six miles of Virginia City, the Henness Pass road traverses a series of level ‘table lands and vallies, divided by comparatively low ridges, easily crossed and scarcely requiring grading at sll, wfth the exception of what is known as-Dog Valley Hill. This is at present, perhaps the most troublesome point on the route; but by the time this letter can appear in print, a hundred men will be at work grading that portion of the route also, and making its present

difficulties as easy to surmount as were those which have already nearly vanished under the skillful engineering of the superintendent of this enterprise. COMPARISON OF THIS WITH THE PLACERVILLE ROUTE, Having crossed the mountains several times by the Placerville route, I am able to draw a comparison which will render the respective advantages of the two quite clear to those who have traveled either. The road from Placerville, finely graded though it is, has greater heights to overcome, and is compelled to seek the lower levels much more often than does the Henness Pass road. The former traverses few valleys or table lands, until it reaches Carson Valley; and when the traveler has pushed his way up the steep side of one mountain spur, it is only to descend again on the other side, and repeat the operation over and over again, half a dozen times. The approach to the summit, as every body knows, is very arduous, and the graded road by which the descent thence to Lake Valley is made, is long, steep, and difficult. The second summit—that between Lake Valley and Carson Cation—which was formerly one of the terrors of the route, fortunately is avoided now by the Daggett trail; but I do not hesitate to say, that the heavily loaded team must necessarily expend more force in dragging over the steep acclivities which separate Strawberry and Lake valleys, than is necessary to overcome all the grades between the first crossing of the Yuba and the Steamboat Valley, on the Henness Pass route. These are facts which will sooner or later be admitted, and availed by all who are engaged in transporting merchandise or precious metals over the mountains. ADVANTAGES CLAIMED FOR THE NEW ROAD. The Henness Pass road-makers will not quite finish their work during the present season; but another month will have removed every obstacle that would prove a serious barrier to rod spa a of teams hauling, say, 11,000 poundseach, T projectors of the Truckee Turnpike, as it is called, claim that an ordinary freighting team can haul at least 3,000 pounds more per trip via the Henness Pass than via Strawberry Valley ; and I should judge their estimates not at all exagger ated. Certainly they have given us the best mountain road I ever saw in any country. It is abundantly supplied with bridges, avoids . teint sentence eaeaitipa ie cihlanahisbinipecieaiiciniabialitieisnbis j low, swampy junds, nak ace the mudgrades are all wide enough for the holes. Its gladsomeness—all these combine to mark the . place as a most pleasant one to look upon, to . jing be published in the Constitution, of San Francisco, and the Hydraulic Press, of North San Juan. ‘The resolutions were put to vote, and passed unanimously. The Club was then addressed by Mr. W. Bausman, of North San Juan. Forty names having been signed 'to the Constitution, on motion, the Club adjoumed, with three rousing cheers for Bell and Everett. M.
