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. The first
number is well filled both with reading ma‘ter and advertisemen!s, and the institution

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.

trom the patriotic apeech of Gov Dennison,
of Ohio, at a war meeting at Cleveland, on
the 24th ult:, to the attention of our renders.
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. We will desolate the fields of the
South and 'av waste their cities in ashes, rather than compromise. We have been asked,
wey not be kiud to our erring bretheru? They
have forgotten thet they were ever our bretherp, and we will torgetit. The ouly terms
upon which peace enn be had is the recdgnition by the peeple of every State af the sovereighty and complete supremacy of theAinv rican Government :

AN ANCIENT PeorLe -—There is the remnant of a race of Indians in New Mexico who
ave entirely different from any other tribe on
the continent. and are supposed to be descended from the Toltecs who preceded the Aztece. They are small. have a peculiar conformation of skull and face, are of peaceful
habits, and live by agriculture. They weave
cloth build with tools made of stone, and build
towns of stone and mortar walls. They have
now s¢ven smal! towns; but the ruins of their

One-year ago, he was dragged from his firm

he wav kept in jaitmore than four months.

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.
Some of the papers «xpress surprise at the
President's emanerpation proclamation. we

“VAITICAN.”—Many who see this word
may not undergtend ita import. Itis a pile
of buildings covering » spice. of 1200 feet in
length nnd 1090 in brendth, on one of the
seven hillkef Rome. The site wasonee the

there an humble dwelling. This has been
added to by ene Pope after another, until it
is now one of the most spacious and magnificent palaces, stocked with paintines, statutes
books and antiqutivs of the rareat kind.

the United States army at Baten Rouge have
