plate Report of 56 pages, of Theodore D. Judah, QhietBngincer of the Central Pacific Railroad. It ia a valusble document, which living along thy,ling of the, route welected for -or to give the,p:@.ninent points ofthe aurvey. The line proposed crosses the American thence to near Gold Hill and to Ilinoistown, Dutéh’Flit, Boar Valley tnd to, tho Stat * Tine.s9'Phe grades are) 105 fect to . : the'mile. Of this grade there will. be some 56 miles, but in no place: will:there be more than ten ¢ Thedistence from Lincoln to the Summull t is : some 88 miles, and from the Summit te the State jine, 15 miles; making the whole disfon Lincoln to the State line about 103 miles. 'The elevation 't» the overcome 18 7,027 feet—a greater elevation by far than has yet been overcome by railroad in the United States. The maximum’gradeon the Baltimore and.Ohioroad, is 116 feet to the nile. and on the Virginia Central are grades of 300 feet to the mile. . The Report ot Mr. Judah, before us, minutely describes the route for the road to follow, which is toc voluminous for ont columns, Mr.Judah, sume up the advantages of the route over all others. in about the fullowing _-mannet: The route crosses no deep river ganna or gorges, and heavy expenditures for ‘bridges are. avoided, — Tunneling along the route-ie netextensive. Crossing tho State at the ‘narrowest point, and avoiding the crossing v two ridges of the Sierra Nevady and @levated plane between, such as is found on the Placerville route, the snuw line ir short, an! many difficulties of ascent and descentiare saved. It saves distance 184 miles and cost $13,500,000 over the route surveyed J, by Lifut. Beckworth through Madelin Pause. Itis nearly on anvir line from the Ceatral partaof Californ'a tothe part of Nevada Ter ritory'te which the eastern portion of the Pa cific Railroad must come. The cost of construetion is estimated at about$88,000 per mile, but Mr. Judah shows that the expense is not disproportionate te the eatimated income. The rg tol way, four hundred feet in width, along the -route, together with all the timber and other material for conatructing the road, is ulready secured to theCompany. The Report most ably shows the advan _ tages of tha road, the resources that would give ita mynifieent support, the importance .of the work ina national point of view, bsides & mags of statistical and other information of te much value to be passed over lightly, yet too extensive for our columns. “Wasnor Times."—The first No. ot a nowspaper»called the Washoe Times has weached ue.. It is published by our old friend G. W. Defrickson, and edited by the friend of everybody, Gen. Jawes Allen.

Britisit Nevrraery.—In addition to winked-sid and comtort.given by gubjecta to the Rebel States, says the Philadelphia Press, the English Government, besides countenaneing the transport-of Mason and Slidell to England in the Trent ( British) pasenger stea mer, have carried R: bel officers to England. in their mer-of-war, m order to take command of vessels fitting out for the Rebel Navy in Europe. Among these,cxses, the fact of @ passage given to Captain Sinclair, wit) his son and Midshipman Bulloch, in the gunboat Bull Dug, bas come to our ear, : by i — It is estimated that the number of persons ot.

Schofield. David Davis, of Hinois, is appointed one of the Justices of the Supreme Court. Our oF ONE iXTu Axoruen.—It seoms the Democrat caniot tell the truth in trearing of that “finanesal transaction” It perpetrated anothér, falsehood last night on the . TranscuiPt, when it aid we stated “the City nuthorityes of San Francisco had determined to pay interest on the eity debt in legal tender notes.” We made no stch statement, We did ray the city had paid its in~ terest in légal tenders, but we made no allegation that the authorities, (the Supervisors) had taken any action upon what bad been done.. We gave the statement as we got it ‘when at San Francisco not long since, and suppose it to be true as we have not seen it denied. Having had two falsehoods, in connection with this matter exposed, the Democrat ought to rest on such laurela; but.its ambition is insatiable. A, THe Indies of Carson City have organized a Relief Association.

His words are fitly spoken and have the ring of genuine metal Ho» gays: *The question has been asked, why not compromixe? What! compromise with treavon and rebellion! God forvid! When a man compremises with a wrong he becomes'a wrongdoer, When you cempromise with treason you becewne a trsitor We will nev. er comprotoise but we will fight fora ceatury if need be.

Now all the old gentleman has to do is bury the body and wander aut irte the werld to seekaliving, friendless and alone. Grape Cutrure.—lIt has been doubted that California now contains twenty millions of grape vines. For our ewan part we have net the least idea.that this number is exaggerated. The county of El Dorado alone, as shown by statistics, produced at their late Agricultural Fair, bag one millien >f vines and we believe Calaveras and Tuolumne hue . 8iX hundred thousa.wd each. L 1s Angeles has over five millions; and what is better than all this, the himibers are everywhere throughout the State inereasing annually at the rate ofthirty percent. At this rate it will notbe five Years until our annual vintage will produce over twenty millions ef gallons of wine, and our grape culture orn as much labor as the mines do now. —Stockton Ind.
