nee eareen--— o. The Morning. ‘Office — 36 Comiheteial street, —— , ’ THURSDAY, APRIL 18th. 1861. , PUBLIC LANDS AND RAILROADS A‘preamble and resolution were reveritly introduced in the Calitornia -Aesembky and referred te the Committee on Internal Improvements, which, it is to ‘be hoped, will receive the sanction of both branches of the Legislature, nemine contradieente. The preamble sets forth that the ‘cohstruction of railroads, within the state, and especially as means of communication bétween ‘the state and the country east of the Sierra Nevada, will greatly aid the -commeréial and industrialinterests of California, and the sequent resolution mstracts ‘eur Senators and requests our ‘Represent atives fi Congress to urge ap_ ou Congress the cession of all the odd sections of public#nds in this state, to the state ‘sof Californis, to be solely applied in aid of ‘constructing railroads. The resolution lays particular stress upon the importance to the ‘state of lines of railroad connecting the wa‘ters of the Sacramento Valley and the Bay of Sati Francisco with the astetn slope of the Sisrra Nevada. The Senators are also ingtructed aed the Representatives requested to utge'a'‘direct grant of thirty sections ~of land, for each mile of road, to the company ‘which shall fitst build, complete, and run cars ‘thereon, at a rate of speed of twenty miles ‘an ‘hour, on a railroad from the navigable wa‘ters of the Sacramento Valley, via Honey ILake Valley; to the Valley of the Great Basin, cast vf the Sierra Nevada Range, The proriety of this “via Honey Lake Valley” is not Very apparent, and good policy would suggest that the premium of thirty sections should notbe fettered by any prescription of _._routen._There are several passes in the Si-wof@tt& Nevada, more direct and practicable for tailronds, than Honey Lake Valley, and this feature of the resolution should be expunged ‘or modified. This is a movement in the right direction ‘and of infinitely more importance to the true interests of California than million of Union-saving resulutions, over which the present Legislature wasted so much valuable time. aad exhibited so much uncalled for ill temper. It involves measures of.improvement and progress in the state which “come home to the hosoms-and business” of all patriotic Californians ; and the prospect is, judging by the gonérosity shown to our state at the last sess‘ion of Congress,'that California will obtain ‘all that the resolution asks. CHANGING THE EASTERN BouNDARY.— ‘The act of Congress, constituting the territory of Nevada, made free witha large slip of country included in the constitutional boundaries of Cabhfornia. The people of Nevada territory—(we are heartily sorry they adopted the name of Nevada, it preplexes us)—have sent an envoy in the person of Mr. W. F. Anderson, Esq., to Sacramento, to negotiate for the surrender to ‘them ot all the country east ofthe Sierra Nevada. On Monday, last, the question of _eding this strip of Californian territory to Nevada was presented to the legislature. A communicatign from Mr. Anderson was communicated to the legislature, by Gov. Downey, accompanied by a special message, in which he rightfully takes the ground that no cession of the territory of the State can be made unless by an amendment of the Constitution. This view ofthe subject, it is to be presumed, will be taken by the legislature; and, as there can not be any serious objection to ceding to Nevada territory the barren strip of ground asked for, immediate steps will probably be taken to make the cession in accordance with the constitutional requirement, . Mr. Spence, our Assemblyman, entertains the opinion that the project, of constituting the summit of the Sierra Nevada the dividing line between California and Nevada Territory, will not be unfavorably regarded in the legislature. There is a pressing necessity that the exact status of Honey Lake Valley should be determined at an early day, as the residents of that valley exhibit a sturdy dislike to the jurisdietion ot Plumas county. They are literally shut out from the seatof justice of that county by impassable mountains, and motives of convenience induce them to prefer citizebship in Nevada terriIt is. the interest-of California that a new/ state should be formed on the east side of the Sierra Nevada as varly aa practicable, and it iato be hoped that the people of our atate willinterpose no unnecessary obstacles to its Transcript, 1 . him, from the Post Office Department, in re-versation, yeaterday, with some of the lead-. . ea, ROUTE FROM NEVADA To: ' , CARSON crry, ‘In Teeday morning's TRANSCRIPT we'etated, that thie Post Office Department*have it in contemplation’ to establish a postal oommunication betwéen Nevada and some:point eh the overland mail route, east of the Sierra Nevada. We have since been favored by Mr. Bradley, Postmaster of Nevada, with the perusal of a letter recently teceived by gard to this subject. The letter refers to an act of Congress, passed’ at the last session and approved on the 27th of February, establishing a post route from Carson City, via. the Sierra Nevada and Henness Pass, to Nevada City, with branches from Jacksoi's Ranch to Downieville, and from Lake City to North San Juan; and then requests ‘information as to the length and physical characteristics of the route, in order that the P. M. vertisement, inviting proposals for mail -service on it. A schedule is also requested, by the P.O. Department, giving the numberof trips per week and the days and hours of departures and arrivals. Mr. Bradley will give ithe Department all the required information in regard to the character of the route, and will propose a tri-weekly mail, unless a distributing post office be established at Carson City, in which case he will propose a.daily. It strikes us that the Department can not well avoid, under the proposed circumetances, making Carson City a distributing point. Proposals for mail service on the route will be advertised, by the Department, immediately on the receipt of the required information from Mr. Bradley. ; Itis very -gratitying to know that we are Washoe country, by a regular mail passing over the Henness gPass Turnpike, and we trust that the spirited Company, who have undertuken the construction of that turnpike, will have it in ample order by the time the mail coaches shall be placed on it. In coning inembers of the Company, we were surprised to learn that there is a ead remissness, on the part of our citizens, in taking stock in this enterprise. In avery brief period the snow will disapper from the road and leave it in fine @rder for the recommencement of operations by the working parties! The Company, however, require more funds than they have at present to: enable them to piosecute the work with the desired rapidity. It seems strange that the moneyed men of Nevada should leave an enterprise, which promises so much benefit to their city, to languish —perhaps die—for the lack of a small addition to its capital stock. Itis to be hoped that the immediate prospect of the establishment ofa mail route, on the Henness Pass Turnpike, will arouse them to a more just and wholesome conception of its importance. + <i ‘ * ViENNA.—Dr.Oppolzer, the uncomprom , ising opponent of Jesuits, concordats and priestcraft, has been appointed Rector of the university at Vienna. At the inauguration, all students of the university were assembled in the large hall to listen to his address.— When the new Rector spoke the’ words ;— ‘Science ia subject to no ‘political changes and no religious opinions ; the liberty in the republic of letters admits of no sectarian and no national influences ; therefore science and philosophy shall be free and know of no differenco of sects or nationalities,” a thunder of applause, such as was not heard in this hall since the year 1848, interrupted the learned orator for more than five minutes.— Shouts of enthusiasm echoed through the hall. This is considered an epoch in the history of this establishment, and a guarantee that the old policy of Austria dies very fast. ~ New Mexivo.—Amwng the news items, brought by the last pony, is one that throws much doubt on the reported: secession movements in New Mexico. There had been no confirmation of the capture of Fort Harney from Col. Fontleroy at the date of the last news from St. Louis. The present isa fruitful season for canards and the exercise of news-mongering ingenuity. FRvuItTs.—Confident feelings are entertained, says the San Juan Press, that the fruit’ has ao far advanced as to be beyound the countingency of blight by frost. The trees give evidence of intention to bear an abundant crop, oa account of the advanced etate of the fohage, which now affords considerable protection to the expanding fruit germ. KILLeD.—Wo learn, says the Oroville Record, that a man named James Sylvester, was killed by the eaving of a bank of dirt, on the 29th ult,at a place called Duteh Hill; between Butte Valley and the North Fork of epeedy forma ieue . ment Onion, we atinotineed that efforts General may be enabled to make out an ad. to’ be® placed ‘in coriitiunication with the . k Ee" A few weeks since, says the Sacrawere being made fo ‘obtain stock and organ izé a company to build a. railroad from Sac ramento to the State line east of the Sierra Nevada, by way of Dutch Flat and the Truckee Pass. A portion of the stock was taken in Placer and Nevada counties, The balance necessary to complete the .organization was subscribed in Sacramento, and we understand from good authority thatthe enterprise of organizing the company wil be consummated in a short time. The Cali fornia Pacific Railroad, Company-“may be considered a fixed fact. ' Surctpes.—A suicidal epidemic seems to be pervading the’State. Edwin R. Phillips, a native of Massachusetts, aged.35-years, shot himeelf, at the Saucelito Ranch, Marin county, on the 7th inst. Phineas L. Miner, a highly respectable merchant and mill owner, of Red Bluff, shot himself, at that place, on_the 15th. inst.On_the 10th, a-miner named Wm. H. Hill, committed suicide at Woodward’s quartz mill; by throwing himself into the crank box of the éngine while the . same,"was. in--motion. He had been charged with an attempt at-robbery. ADVERfIsING.—We would commend the following to our business men who adver tise three months in a year, and that teh ata time when there is the least necessity for it, when business is lively and customers plenty. This item gives the experience of one who advertised liberally when others drew off : “The very time of all others to crowd : py it, and we care not how hard the times are; it pays us well at all times, because we now how far to go, but especially it pays us in times like the present, when most of the business men in our line have taken their hooks out of the water, thinking no bites aré to be had ; we are satisfied that nothi has kept-us‘a constant run of trade for the last rg days,but pushing our notices through the dull season ” won the heart and hand of the young white heiress in that city : “We were at some little pains to get a sight at this modern Othello who, had won. awecond Desdemona, and found a lean, longshanked, hobbling darkey, about fifty years of age, his white wool showing off a counte-. nance of superfine ivory-black to a frightful advantage. In his escape from the South he received a shot in one of his legs, which adds nothing te the elegance of his locomotion, and there isn’t a tooth remaining in his head.” NSE SI Ba Two MEN DROWNED ON THE MIDDLE Fork.—A correspondent of the Union, writing from Georgetown, April 7th, relates the following sad accident ; To-day A. G. Scott anda young man know9 by the name of Joe, in company with two others, started in « flat boat from Maine bar, on the middle fork of the American river, to go to Mormon Island, a distance of twentyve miles. They had proceeded about two miles when they came to the rapids. The boat became unmangeable and was swamped Two of the company managed to get ashore, the other two were seen drifting some distance below, apparently lifeless, and soon disappeared and were seen no more. Scott was from Constantia, Oswego county, New York. He was a large man, six feet high, and very stout built. . ————— GEN. JAMES SHIELDS, WILL -LECTURE-AT THe METROPOLITAN THEATRE !'! THIS EVENING.
