THURSDAY MORNING NOV, 13th.
hn sor CRSA SN A ESTEE TI TEL ST I TT,
RIvaALRY FOR THT RAILROAD, BETWEEN PLACES:—A little bit of flurry has
been created between the papers of San Francisco and Sacramento about the western ter~
minus of the Pacific Railroad. Sacramento
claims the honor, at teast for a time, and her
leading newspaper -has made an ad hominem
appeal to her citizens to take hold of the project and make it a Sacramento institution.—
It has even claimed it to be essentially a Sacramento institution by virtue of the tact that
the prominent men in the Central Pacific
Railroad company are citizens of Sacramento.
The papers of San Francisco take fire at the
propositions of the Sacramento papers, and
assert that their city is the natural terminus
of the read; that its moneyed men must furnish a larger share of the capital; and that:
‘the obstructions in the river at Sacramento
are of a permanent character, and before
rhany years the navigation of the stream to
the ‘distance of some miles further down
must be impared, if not destroyed.
Thus a sort of rivalry is suggested, which
the Union has endeavored to smooth away»
by telling the San Franciscans that Sacramento can make no pretenisons to the larger
benefits of the road, which must necessarily
belung:to San Francisco. This is accompanied by other plausible and soothing remarks
quite politic for the time.
We are anxious to have the first ground
broke on the road without delay, and to see
it followed up by a thousand workmen, or as
many as can be employed. Iti order to get
a railroad to the silver mines as expeditiously
as possible, and obtain the immense and lucrative trade of the Territory on our eastern
boundary. we have hitherto advocated leaving
the section lying between Sacramento and
Auburn as the lust to be built, and commence
the work on the Pacific Railroad at some ‘point in the vicinity of Auburn. By doing .
this, ull the energies of the company can be
expended ou the road between Auburn and
Nevada Territory, and « railroad communication between Sacramento and the silver
mines sooner obtained—sooner by the time
represented in constructing the road from
Sacramento to Auburn.
This we conceive to be an important consideration, because the amount of freight that
would pass over the road in that time, which
would otherwise go by teams, would pay a
large percentage on the cost ef the read, and
enable the company to build the section or
sections on the valley plains all the more
easily. Itis true, the iron &c., would have
to be transported ever the Sacramento valley
and Auburmvroads, tu build the railroad from
Auburn to Washoe ; but the inducemeats of
becoming beneficiaries, even for only a few
months. of the trade and travel to and from
the silver regions, would be so great that we
do not doubt some equitable arrangement
could be made with those railroads, which
would be really advantageous to all the rail.
road companies.
We hold it to be a prime object te obtain
the trade of Washoe at the earliest practic.
able moment, and this wbject is not promoted
in building first a railroad between two
points already connected by railroad. By
the arrangement we propose, it seems to us,
all thought of rivalry between Sacramento and
San Francisco is, at least, postponed until
the time arrives for constructing the valley
section. San Francisco can take hold of the
mountain part of the read with a will, invest
her money and bide her time. The advantages that would accrue to ‘the railreads
already built, must be considerable and have
a tendency to suppress with them all envious
orantagonistic feeling for atime. When the
Washoe trade is obtained there is no fear of
rivals afterwards. We submit these remarks
for the consideration'of those interested; but
~ we shall do all in our power for the Central
Pacific Railroad after the plan of conatructin has been fully agreed upon.
SUPPRESSED. —Gen. Wright bas ordered
the Post Master of San Francisco to deny
the Mountain Democrat of Placerville, the
use %f the mails. Such an order is sapposed
to have a destructive effect. upon the singular
beauty of Dan Gelwicks countenance. You,
bet, he will quote the Constitution on Gen.
Wright, and demolish bim with the best of
secession logic.

mocratic.
THe FALSEHOOD ExposED.—Our De“motratic friends have been loud-mouthed in
the past abut the Republicans refusing to
enlist. Ithas been brazenly asserted that
none but Democrats were to be found ia the
army. Republicans would’nt fight: not
they. John Conness was guilty of promulgating this nonsense more than a year ago.—
The Republicans, he said, drank cold water
and would’nt fight—as if the first proposition
was acrime and the last true.
The time for testing the truth of these Democratic allegations has arrived. The State
of Iowa mado provisions for her soldiers to
vote, and they did so in the face of the enemy
One regiment that went to Minnesota to fight
the Indians gave the Republican State ticket,
493 votes and the Democratic 71. It also
gave the candidates for Congress a similar
vote. The aggregate vote of the 12th, 14th,
8th, 10th, 11th, 17th 2nd Battery, 2 compnnies in Missouri, and recruits to Ist cavalry,
—all Iowa soldiers—was 1,307 for the Republican State ticket, and 251 for the DeThe 104th Regt. Illinois Volunteers, incamp, near Selbyville, Ky., voted,
844 for sustaining the President’s emancipation proclamation to only 15 against! These
votes tell how the army feels, and pretty
nearly what the. politics of the soldiers must
be. There is another significant fact brought
prominently forward in examining the, mitter we have in hand. It is found the Republican or Uniun loss in each State that has
gone Democratic about corresponis with
the number of soldiers the State has sent to
the army, so that the truth is pretty well
established at last, that Demecrats have
staid at home to control the elections,
while Republicans have taken up arms for
their country. Had each State provided by
law for allowing her soldiers to vote wherever
they might be, the Democrats could not have
succeeded anywhere.

ACCIDENTALLY SHoT.—D. A. McConnell, of Gold Canon, Sierra county, while out
hunting lately, was accidentally shot by a
compauion. Theentire contents ofthe gun
entered his body. The Messenger says it is
not theught the wounds will prove serious.
DEMOCRATIC GUNS.—The peculiar class
of Democrats who rejoice over victories won
by the enemies of their eountry, fired guns
over the late ‘‘ Democratic ” victories in the
Eastern States, at Marvsville, lowa Hill and
Sacramento lately,

Proclamation of Thanksgiving !
STaTe OF CALIFORNIA, EXECUTIVE
DEPARTMENT,
Sacramento, November 1, 1862.
The return of the yearly season, wisely
observed since the days ot our fathers, by
public acts of reverence and gratitude to the
Giver of all good gifts, reminds us of our duty
to give expression to that thankfulness which
we as @ people sheuld most assuredly experience.
A year of remarkable events is drawing to
its close. With us, its commencement was
signalized ,by a severity hitherto unknown;
storm after storm swept over our State, and
repeated floods spread desolation through
large portions of our territory; suffering and
want usurped the place where before had
dwelt comfort and plenty; heavy burthens
were imposed upon the generous, charitable,
and benevolent, though greatly hghtened by
the cheerfulness with whichthey were borne.
Throughoyt the year, we have heard from
afar-the‘noise of strife, and the clash of arme ;
Civil War has raged with varied success, and
withoat decisive results; the National Government has not yet subdued its enemies, nor
risen above its perils—the People of the United States have before them a great work to
accomplish, in delivering the Nation from the
dangers by which it is environed. Nevertheless, we have occasion tu be grateful to Alinighty God for hindering any open active
interference of foreign powers with our Government in its endeavors to right itself—for
many signal and glorious successes vouchsafed
to'the National arms by sea and land—for
the readiness and alacrity with which the
young and brave have rushed to the defence
of Constitutional Liberty—for the assured
hope that this must causeless and wicked
Rebellion will be speedily crushed and an
honerable and lasting peace be. established
upon the basis rae by the’ Fathers of
the Country—and for the general prosperity
of the loyal States of our Unien, where Commerece, Manufactures, ard the Arts generally,
still flourish ir alltheir former vigor, in striking contrast to the sufferings and convul«
sions of ungenerous Foreign Powers.
And here, within our own borders, we have
reason to be thankful for public tranquillity,
and exemption from the deplorable strife that
rages in some of our sister States—for our
freedom from pestilence and epidemic disease
—fo1 -the prevalence of a charitablef and
tolerant spirit towards honest differences of
epinion—for the return of verdure to our
wasted fields, and comfort to our late devas—
tated hemes—for abundant harvests, and
increase ot flocks—for the rich and constant
yield of our, mines—for the success of our
manufactures, and the various attempts to
diversify our industry—for the flourishing
condition of our cities and towns—for an in
creasing interest in our schools and charitable
institutions—for the assurance that the era is
at hand, when will be inaugurated the great
material desideratum of California, the Iron
Road of the continent, the world and the age
—for the numberless blessings of knowledge,
civilization and hberty, and the institutions
of religious freedom—for the unmistakable
loyalty, and generous sentiments of our
population—and tor the confidence that the
blood of the Nation's children is not a vain
offering upon the altar of their country, but
a priceless gift that will secure untold bless~
ings to the generations that are to follow.
New, therefore, I, LELAND STANFORD,
Governor of the State ot California, do heres
by set apart THURSDAY, the 27th day of
NOVEMBER, A. D., 1862, as 0 day of Public ‘Thanksgiving and Prayer; and I earnestly invite all the people of this young and vigs
oreus Commonwealth to appropriate the day
to those uses, by assembling in their custom»
ary places of worship, with acts of devotion
and religion, and by engaging in such services
as shall fitly attest all the grateful emotions of
Teverent aad thankful hearts; to the end that
it may please God te continue to us His favors, renew His mercies, and crown all His
goodness with the smile of His approbation.
In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set
my hand, and caused the Great Seal of the
State to be affixed, the day and year above
written. LELAND STANFORD,
Governor of California.
By the Goveroor: WM. H. WEEKs,
Secretary of State.
LATER FROM THE EAST.
——
Washington, Nov. 11th,—On Sunday
morning Capt, Dahlgreen, with one company
of the Ist Indi:na and a small detachment of
the 6th Ohio cavalrv, dashed into Fredericksburg, encountered eight companies of rebel
cavalry. fought them hand to hand three
hours and whipped them. They brought
back 39 prisoners; with horses, accountrements, etc., and their wagons loaded with
army cloth. Our loss was one killed and
three wounded.
A private letter from New Orleans, says
that Gen. Butler has taken possession of two
large plantations near the city, und has transported a large number of loyal blacks to them
for active service. The number of fugitive
blacks in the department of the Gulf, is increasing ata rapid rate, but by employing
them in this way, says the writer, and paying
them small wages, and charging them for
their clothing, the Government will be fully
