Snoatatinaemmmnel . An immigrant, who came into Califotnia, a few days ago, over the Henness Pass route, informed us that he.was urgently advised, by individtials in Salt Lake City and on the valley of the Humboldt, pot, to, attempt the Henness Pass, as it was the next thing to impracticable, and by all means to go by Carson City and Placerville. Our immigrant of mother wit in his noddle, thought he try what virtue there is in the rule of “ con the advice, so lavishly foreed upon him, he . “drove his wagons by the way of Mud Lake, Pyramid Lake,. up the Truckee river, and came into the Henness Pass turnpike. road not far from Stout’s Bridge. He says he never did a wiser thing, in his life, than in thus rejecting advice, and following the suggestions of his own stubborn brain. By this route, he only eneountered twenty-five miles _ of desert, which was erossed pretty much in the night, in a cool atmosphere, each wagon . being enabled to carry sufficient water for . the refreshment and comfort of the t animals. ° From the lakes, all the way up the valley of the Trackee, he found the route to be a perfect paradise for h and cattle. Meadows, luxuriating in the , sweetest, and most nutritious entire course of the Truckee, the waters of which stream cann excelled in. purity and wholesomeness, From Stout's Bridge, which is several miles east of the summit, to Nevada, our immigrant pronounces it one of the finest foads he ever traveled; the only exceptionable spot on ¥ being the deep and ateep gorge at the Ilinois Bridge, over the Bouth Yuba, which, a itis almost undef the . South, and we: ~ noses of the Nevada people, he thinks ought not to be permitted to remain as the only bad feature in a line of road otherwise so excelCol. G. W. Whitman, Arho, not long since, was Controller of the State of California, and whose reputation for honor and highmindedness needs not our indorsement, confirms all thatour immigrant friend has as to the pxcellence of the route, from Mud _ and Pyramid Lakes, up the Truckee Valley, "and Along the Henness Pass road, to Nevada, North San Juan, or wherever, in California, he immigrant may chooge to set up his Ebenezer. The Colonel, we are huppy to say, has found a fortune in the Washoe country, in the shape of a quartz lode, wherein millions and millions of dollars’ worth of silver are awaiting the labors of the cunuing miners to become a palpable representative of mundane wealth. He has no property interests b would be institu as to the most eligible route for prolonging it in the direction of San Francisco. The Sacramento News, which is evidently » friend of peace, thus expatiates anent our innocent ‘conjecture’: “ Would itnut be as well to wait till that phenomeuon becomes before stirthe press get to war on this subject, such inspatoging statements will be made of the . and at the Bast will conclude that our mountain range opposes ineurmountable obstacle to the en rance of the road 6t any pointy. Sach an would certainly delay the of the work for years.” at 7 We think it likely that ‘the General Government and capitalists at the East” will place more reliance on the reports of the engineers than on the columns of belligerent ne ré, and that the Pacific Railroad — oe ever reach Sacramento or Francisco, will find ite way through tke mountains in spite of the quarrels of the Calrr intersecting the the P.

There seems to be no possibility of maintaining a brotherly feeling between the North and the certain but that a temporary separation might have the effect of bringing both sections of the Union to their Case or ContTemprT.—Captain E. Hammond King, formerly of the British army, and latterly proprietor of the Victoria Gezette, has been seatenced by Judge Pemberton,.of Victoria, to one month's imprisonment, and required to give security in $400 to keep the peace for six:months after his imprisonment, for knocking down in Court a man who called him a liat. The most humble apology and the strongest jastifiable circumstances availed nothing in mitigation of thé heavy penalty imposed by the Court : Judge Pemberton intimating that the resort toa duel with deadly weapons would have been a moré proper way for the captain to resent the insult he suffered, _ Sire or tile REFORM ScHOOL.—It is in Nevada, ond has no motive for perverting the truth, éven if his taborn .principles of rectitude could be suborned im favor of falsity; and, therefore, his words are entitled . to, our utmost credence. He says that the emigrant to California, after leaving Salt Lake, should follow the course of the Humboldt, and follow the track pointed out by our intelligent immigrant, via Mud and Pyramid Lakes, the valley of the Truckee, and the Henness Pass road, ~ As to the fact: that poopte are employed— __at Salt Lake City and weatwardly—to influ. @nce travelers in favor of the-route by Car. . &on City and Placerville, we liave nothing to way. Inthe way matters ere managed, in _ this competitive age, euch a aystem is atrietly within the established ruld. To complain of it would only subject us to ridicule and laughter j' and, therefore, instead‘of complaining of ite unfairness, we are disposed to laugh at it, along with the rest, ag an excellent joke. It is such a joke as the cuoners for hotels, cosafully, for pay; but it'te which the jokee can return upom the jokor, with interknown to our readers that the Commiasionera, appointed for the purpose, located .the site of the contemplated State Reform School, on the left bank of the Feather river, & short distance above Marysville, where one hundred acres of land have been donated to the institution: In last Tuesday's issue of the Marysville Appeal, an earnest and well ing the proposed site as low and unwholesome, and recommending that it be changed.

A Riehmond paper of the 19th, says that Virginia can arm 25,000 men. She has 60 bronze rifled field pieces and howitzers and 100 barrels of Dupont gun powder. She has madexa contract for 3000 shells and grape shot—other warlike preparations are progressing. \. Ten thoushad stand of arms are now being distributed in Mississippi by the order of Gov. Pettus. The New York Herald’s Charleston correspondent of the 19th, says that the leading merchants had raised a secession pole with the State flag on it, amidst tremendous cheers. There was prayer on the occasion by Rev. Mr. Judson—speeches were also made. The Washington artillery: fired a salute of 100 guns, the bells were rung, secession badges displayed, and the Marseilles Hymn was sung. The vessels iu the harbor raised a general flag. A Safe Betr.—Several gentlemen were ri}ding in @ carriagoon one of the Boston roads, a few years ago, when the conversation turnedon the Presidential election, and the merits and prospects of Webster, Fillmore, Cass and others were discussed at large. After tened in silence, addressed the party thus: “My frionds, you're all wrong. Before the election of 1852 the world will have come to an-end, and Jesus Christ will be President of the Universe ?” Up atarted an enthusiastic gentleman from the Granite State, who stutteringly said to the Millerite— : “ §-sir, IU b-bet you tten dollars. New Hampshire w-ont go for him !" A roar of laughter greeted the Second Adventist as he made his exit. aenanatl A TaRANTULA BITE.—About a week ago, according to the Santa Cruz Sentinel, an Inbitten on the thumb by a tarantula ; the bite ‘nearly proved fatal. The remedy the victim adopted, without waiting for medical advice, was to catch the tarantula and eat it. The antidote did not prove at all effectual, and the actual remedies of Dr. Bailey were re. quired to prevent serious consequences. He recovered after an iliness'of several days. tee * THe Postmaster at Sacramento, received a letter by the last Atlantic mail, making inquiry for the whereabouts of Joseph Atkinson late of Kansas Territory. ‘. sightless, but hopes are entertained of his reRichmond, Nov. 17th, says that Virgimia will . . fire, and falling out he was kicked by one of his horses and stunned. He revived in time to see his wife fall from. the wagon, burned to death,’ and to drag from the flames one of was burned entirely from his body, and he was very. severely burned, especially in the covery, and that his eyesight 1s not destroyed. Two of the children were literally burned up in the wagon. Of one, nothing could be found but the skull; the other a. cliarred mass, in which was no trace of humanity left. One-of the horses was burned to death in the harness; the other succeeded in freeing . himself but was badly burned. ee “Theeditor of the Mariposa Gazette went from home lately, and thus his pro tem. mentioned the fact : Goop-BY.— What hallowed memories cluster around that parting word, ““Good-by.”— It falls “‘tremblingingly from the lips of the mother, as she presses for the last time the hand of her son. Good-by floats in softened cadence from the dimpled mouth of beauty, as she musmurs it “low and sweet” inthe lover’s. ear, ».Good-by,. whispers the sister, as she breathes » prayer for the brother’s welfare. Good-by, rings in the clear manly tones of friendship, and the honest grasp of the hand speaks more than words ean tell. 6. “Good-by,” screamed a John Chinawoman as the stage whirled past a celestial laundry, bearing the manly form ofan editor and his ba , (a valise and two bottles of coctails.) A full-grown tear rolled from her almond eye, and her voice.was choked with sobs as she murmured “he owe me one dollar-hap.”— Reader, that’s all. oii THE EFFECTS oF Mop VIOLENCE.— The Tuolumne Courier says that the results of the ditch outrages in that county are deplorable. Upon the business relatiuns of the mining districts, they have caused great embarrassment and injury. Foreign capital invested here, upon which our merchants have been working, is rapidly being withdrawn ; real estate and all other property is: sinking lower and lower in value every. week, and our most productive mining and manufacturing works have stopped. In addition to all the other calamities enumerated, we new begin to suffer that of emigration. Every one who can get away is going and taking with them all they can. The Recorder says that the stampede of miners, bound for localities where they can work uninterruptedly and in peace, is almost equal te that which digtinguished the Fraser river and Washoe excitements. And the end is not yet! Ausreian Rerorms.—aA Paris correspondent says: The emperor of Austma, with the fate of the king of Naples before him, has determined to profit by the lesson, and has at last published a decree granting constitutional reforms to his entire empire. The proud Hapsburg is no longer the arbitrary sovereign of his millions of subjects. The Diets of the different provinces have a voice in the administration of affairs, and Hungary . cial is accorded many of her ancient rights. For Aw af $700 has been made by a nhade ter brieklayer of this city, that he will lay one tt brick on an eight inch wall, aad set his own line, in an hour. The money was put up.—S. F.

It is said that it is propesed to have freight landed at the new town, to be conveyed, via San Miguel Pass, to Visalia and the Tulare country.

The veins that. have. been opened grow richer and larger as they descend. Aurora, the capital of the Esmeralda District, is situated in the mining district, and is growing with wondérful rapidity. About five hundres persons will winter there. Good pure water in abundance is furnished the town. Excellent timber for building and fuel is found in the mines. Every road leading into the diggings is filled with men and teams flocking thither. Merchants, rs, saloon-keepers and miners are all d well. The days are bright and warm, but the nights . rather cold. Tunneling is carried on extensively by contract, and mining operations have not been suspended, nor will they be, as has been reported. Our informants give a glow-— ing account of the richness and extent of the ines, and of the salubrity of the climate. Provisions are abundant and sold at reasonable prices. Hotels and restaurants are pont.

Snoatatinaemmmnel . An immigrant, who came into Califotnia, a few days ago, over the Henness Pass route, informed us that he.was urgently advised, by individtials in Salt Lake City and on the valley of the Humboldt, pot, to, attempt the Henness Pass, as it was the next thing to impracticable, and by all means to go by Carson City and Placerville. Our immigrant of mother wit in his noddle, thought he try what virtue there is in the rule of “ con the advice, so lavishly foreed upon him, he . “drove his wagons by the way of Mud Lake, Pyramid Lake,. up the Truckee river, and came into the Henness Pass turnpike. road not far from Stout’s Bridge. He says he never did a wiser thing, in his life, than in thus rejecting advice, and following the suggestions of his own stubborn brain. By this route, he only eneountered twenty-five miles _ of desert, which was erossed pretty much in the night, in a cool atmosphere, each wagon . being enabled to carry sufficient water for . the refreshment and comfort of the t animals. ° From the lakes, all the way up the valley of the Trackee, he found the route to be a perfect paradise for h and cattle. Meadows, luxuriating in the , sweetest, and most nutritious entire course of the Truckee, the waters of which stream cann excelled in. purity and wholesomeness, From Stout's Bridge, which is several miles east of the summit, to Nevada, our immigrant pronounces it one of the finest foads he ever traveled; the only exceptionable spot on ¥ being the deep and ateep gorge at the Ilinois Bridge, over the Bouth Yuba, which, a itis almost undef the .

He says that the emigrant to California, after leaving Salt Lake, should follow the course of the Humboldt, and follow the track pointed out by our intelligent immigrant, via Mud and Pyramid Lakes, the valley of the Truckee, and the Henness Pass road, ~ As to the fact: that poopte are employed— __at Salt Lake City and weatwardly—to influ. @nce travelers in favor of the-route by Car. . &on City and Placerville, we liave nothing to way. Inthe way matters ere managed, in _ this competitive age, euch a aystem is atrietly within the established ruld. To complain of it would only subject us to ridicule and laughter j' and, therefore, instead‘of complaining of ite unfairness, we are disposed to laugh at it, along with the rest, ag an excellent joke.
