Bs Are You Reapy !—The Central Pacific
Railroad Company is an organized institution
and is at work. The-bill passed by the last
Congress. in: which our fellow citizen and indefatigable Representative, Sargent, took a
noble fnterest, and tontr’bated more than any
other man: to ite passoge,. waa not a mere for
mula. Ite effects are beginning to be aren in
the movements of the Central Pacific Rail;
togd Company. The, Company is at work.
Dyfing the, courap of this week two corps
of: engineers will -he put upon the ground to
deterinie the route for the first section, and
the books will be opened iu Sacramento and
San Francisco. for subscriptions. to stock.
The right,men have taken hold of the work
and it will be earnestly pushed.
‘Tt will be remembered that the act of Congress requires. that fifty miles be conattuctedwithin two years. The Company
haé resolved to construct fifty miles
-: in ‘one year, so that in off year from
this time, we may expect to be able to travel
ona ‘portion of the great Pacific Railroad,
and, make it convenient to do so, because tte
dept at the mountain end.of the first section
1s likely to be nearer Nevada than the depot
of aly othet cond. The terminus of
the road for the present will probably be
Sacramenty. From thence we infer the
fitst section of 50 miles will riin in nearly o
atraight line: across the plains to the base of
the dot. hills somewhere in Placer Coun:
We understand that books for subscriptions
will be opened in this city at no very dist-ot
diy, As the work is one in which our citizene are deeply concerned, we republish in
the briefest manner possible the inducements
held out by the Nativbal Goverament to enlist
in the enterprize. The substantial ad granted by the Government is in every.alternate
section of land with the timber thereon, of &
strip, ten miles wide lying on doth sides of
the road, together with the right of way. In
addition t.» this the Goverarent loans thé
Company in National bowds the sum of
$16,000 -per mile for the flat lands over
whieh the road passes in this State, and
$48,000 per mile from the bases of foot bills
across the Sierra Nevada. The Comp:ny
on pay the bonds by carrying troops, the
maile &c. ee
The aid from the Government is munificent,
though not enough, of course, to build the
road. It is computed that the firat section
of 50 miles will cost about $3,000,000 as
the work is to be done in the most substantial
manner. Those who have invested in the
movement, compute the Washoe trade of
aufficient importance to more than pay the
cost of construction, and that trade is growing 80 rapidly as to induce dixpateh in building a railroad. Ground will be broken in a
few weeks at farthest, end it ie anticipated
that in two years and a half, er three years
at moat, the Silver mines will be connected
with the navigable waters of this State Ly a
part of the Great Pacific Railroad. Are we
ready to assist with our mites in constructing the yreatest work of modern times?

THat Repent Iron-CLap.—Some weeks
ago we had a repert which has not been con.
tradicted, that‘an iron-clad man-ot-war had
suddenly left the shores of England for destinationunknown. Nothing has been heard of
the vessel since it left the Mersey. Where
is itt May it not be oa its way te the Pacific, and may we not hear in a few weeks of
a steamer taken on its way to Panama, or of
the sudden enttance of the formidable aronster through the Golden Gate and the eurrender of San Francisco? Itis pretty well
understood that rebel sympathizers on this
ooast have been contributing to the secession
cause, by sending their money te agente i
Englind, Perhaps the irem-clad we have
heard of built in England was paid for by Seeesaionists here for ‘the express purposo of
pucting the State under contribution.
~——
Baptist SYNoD.—The Baptists recently held a Synod at Stockton. It set its face
firmly against Theatres, Cireuses and Balls,
and denounced the laws of the State regulating divorces as cotitrary to the letter and
spirit of Christianity. According to that
body, this should be the law:
“Whoseever shall put ame his w fe, except it be fur fornication, and shall marry
another, committeth adultery ; and who so
marrieth her which is put away, doth commit
adultery.”
Butif tho wife pat away tlie husband,
what then?
Derenses WaxTeD.—The last Legislature did not doite duty inadjourning without making adequate provision for State defenses, aad fanthe want of the proper care
on the pakt ot the Legislature, Califorma is
to-day at the merey of a foe in a most crifical time when our relations with foreign
powers are growing more and more complicated. In such times of peril no precaution
should be omitted. The expenditure of a
million of dollars-is nothing compared with.
the damage a sinall fleet might do when once
within the harbor of San Francisco, and that
one mail clad vessel would find av difficulty . town at noon,
in-passing Fort Point and Alcatraz is not disputed. Ww have none of the heaviest guns
‘in the State, and are not likely to have for
some months to come. Neither are we well
supplied with small arms.
Had the Legislature of last winter comprehended the dangers that surround us, or are
likely to bes. tus before this war is brongbt
to a termination, its mem: ers should not have
failed. to make provision to put the State in
the most complete defvnse. An appropria~
tion to make and mount a number of the heaviest guus and to supply the loyal peuple
with arms of all kinds would have been wise.
‘If the State could not have constructed a
Monitor or two, she shoul! have’ taken
care that no hostile vessel of the kind could
pass our forte without destruction. Avs it ia,
the coast is ‘almost entirely defenseless
against one of the popular flouting fortresses
of modern times.
The National Government has its hands
full, and while we ure not reqnired to furnish
the State's quota of troops, and are comparatively exempt from the evile of war, tie
State can afford to defend itself, and d. it efficiently. We trust, if no evil shall befal the
the State from enemies before the first of
Janaary, that the next Legislature will recognize the policy of putting the State witout delay in the position of the most perfect
defense, because: the vast interests of the
State tht might be ruinously affected by the
arrival of the enemy demind that no expense
should be spared or precaution omitted.

How They SHouip PrRay.—Ina recent
. letter Parson Brownlow delivers himself as
follows:
This, Mr. Editor, is the never-to-be-forgatten Lsth of September, 1862, the day set apart
by Jeff Davis’ proclamation as a day of humil
iation and prayer and thankagiving to God tor
the favor Hle showed the rebels in front of
Richmond and Washington in days gone by !
It occurs to me that they ought te appomt
another day for prayer,an take back all their
expressions of gratitude for the manner in
which Provieence has allowed thein te be
treated by “ the northern hordes” on the bordevaof Maryland and Pennsylvania! They
should now marshal all their hypocritical
preachers and old whiskey-drinking elerical
rips, and with a united voice, heaving and set=
ting at a throne of grace, lke se many old
rams ata gate-post, pray to their deity to save
them from their friends, whilst they tuke care
of their enemies!
