The second summit—that between Lake Valley and the Carson Canon—which was formerly one of the terrors of that route, fortunately is avoided now by the Daggett trail; but I do} not hesitate to say that the heavily loaded team must necessarily expend more force in dragging over the steep acclivities which sep -arate Strawberry and Lake valleys, ‘than is . necessary to overcome all the grades between the first crossing of the, Yuba and the Steamboat Vulley,“on the Henness Pass route. These are facts whicli'sponer or later will be admitted and avuiled of by all who are engaged in transporting. merchandise or pfe-' cious metals over the mountains. The Henness Pass road-makers will ‘not quite finish their work during the present season ; but another month will have removed every obstacle that would prove a serious barrier to the passage of teams-hauling, sexy, 11,000 pounds each.

Our impression is, though we may be vastly mistaken, that, though the politiciansare making a great dev of noise in this election. eering campaign, the people—the real people—are very quiet and unexcited. Many of our mouatain friends, whom_we meet, frankly confess that they have not yet made up theit minds for whom to vote at the November election. The-entire—straggle,inour opinion, is pretty much confined to the politicians. By politicians, we mean.the officeholders, who wish (tv remain in office, and ‘the men out of office, who wish to get in. These fulks, like the elements which King Lear so pathetically apostrophized, keep an eternal pother o'er our heads ; ‘but we, the people, poor dolts as we are, are stolidly-unwho wins or who loses. We dropped some ideas, yesterday, anent the absurdity of Iugging the Pacific Railroad into the Presidential Contest; because, in our épinion, the election of any partigular man to the Presidency will neither it nor retard the enterprise. : A correspondent, in another part of this paper, takes exception to our opinions; but we cannot take back,a word or a syllable-of what we,have said. In these United States of Aumeri¢a, the government is always far in the rear.of popular opinion and popular action. Who colonizes the territories in the wilderness ? “Not the government. The government comes in, with its slow conservatism, to take the reins, after tlle popular will has broken the colt. Who initiated the Pony Express! Not the government, but private enterprise. And what has the government done for it? Nothing. Yes—the government has talked about: it; but that is all In the same way we’ shall have a ruilroad. The enterprise must originate away down among the people, and the government must be argued or bviiglit into the measure, . as Providence may decide. — The fact is, the people have been so often cheated by the loud professions of the politicians, they are naturally becoming skeptical, and skepticism is never noisy. The people are quiet, and the politicians alone are noisy. Ss AT Wet Ravine, Sierra county, the Masonic company took out $10,000 in one try. 3,000 pounds more per trip via the Heness Pass than via Strawberry Valley; and I should judge their estimates-not at all exaggerated Certainly they have given us the best mountain road I ever saw in any counIt is ubundantly supplied with good bridges, avoids low, swampy grounds, and eschews the mud-holes. Its grades are all wide enough for the passage of teams guing in opposite directions, and: the -most difficult points involve an ascent of only sixteen inches to the rod in coming east, and seventeen inthes to the rod: in going: west. Thé scene~ try of this route is ‘less grand and imposing than that on the Placerville ; but while the latter would, for this reason, be preferred by the mere tourist, the former must eventually command the largest share of transportation. epi: ~ CRIME IN New YorRK.—As muchas has been said about the numereus crimes comsympathetic, and don’t seem to care much [mitted in California, it is a paradise compared to that great modern Sodum, the city of New York. The Tribune says that in New York, in a little more than three years, not less than fifty-five murders have been committed, the perpetrators of which Imve never been detected. The Commercial Advertiser adds : Of undetected murderers, where the murder has been deliberate, with malice and other evil motive,the number is alarmingly lirge. In 1857, Dr. Burdell was murdered in his own house; John Sweeney was beaten to death in the street; Mr. Van Liew was murdered and robbed at the corner of Canal and Mer: store; Henry Dodd was killed by a blow from a slung shot in Broadway, with other cases not enumerated. In 1853, Win. S. Fompkins, of California, was beaten to death in Broadway; J. P. Duyebink was shot in a canal st. saloon ; Frank Matthews was shot; Charles Samuels was murdered,his body tied toa stone and thrown into East-River. In 1859, Charles Conlon was beaten so that he died on reaching the hospital; Mike Walsh was found in an area, bearing undoubted signs of having been murdered; Bryan Kerrigan. was killed in. the street; Margaret McGann was poisoned ; the remains of « murdefed woman were found in a vault; John BD: Marshal was garroted; a German was robbed and murderedin Baxter.street ;.an unknown man was murdered on Five Points ; James Quinn, on board a schooner was shot by a river thief; John Brennan and Timothy Mileahy were fatally stabbed. In 1860, a woman, by many still believed to be Mrs Richardson, was murdered and thrown into the Jersey dock, petrators of these criines.

The .road trom ply, that our self-love; if néthing else, would” Placerville, finely graded though it is,” has . greuter heights to overceme, and is compelled to seek the lower-_levels.much-more viten than dues the Hennese Puss roud! The for‘mer traverses, few.yalleys or table lands, uutilit reaches Carson’ Valley; and when the traveler has pushed his way-up the steep side } of one mountain-spur, it is-ouly to descend again on the other side, and repeat the operation over and over again halfa dozen times. by which the descent thence to Lake Valley ismade, is long, steep and difficult. The second summit—that between Lake Valley and the Carson Canon—which was formerly one of the terrors of that route, fortunately is avoided now by the Daggett trail; but I do} not hesitate to say that the heavily loaded team must necessarily expend more force in dragging over the steep acclivities which sep -arate Strawberry and Lake valleys, ‘than is . necessary to overcome all the grades between the first crossing of the, Yuba and the Steamboat Vulley,“on the Henness Pass route.. These are facts whicli'sponer or later will be admitted and avuiled of by all who are engaged in transporting. merchandise or pfe-' cious metals over the mountains. The Henness Pass road-makers will ‘not quite finish their work during the present season ; but another month will have removed every obstacle that would prove a serious barrier to the passage of teams-hauling, sexy, 11,000 pounds each.

Our impression is, though we may be vastly mistaken, that, though the politiciansare making a great dev of noise in this election. eering campaign, the people—the real people—are very quiet and unexcited. Many of our mouatain friends, whom_we meet, frankly confess that they have not yet made up theit minds for whom to vote at the November election. The-entire—straggle,inour opinion, is pretty much confined to the politicians. By politicians, we mean.the officeholders, who wish (tv remain in office, and ‘the men out of office, who wish to get in. These fulks, like the elements which King Lear so pathetically apostrophized, keep an eternal pother o'er our heads ; ‘but we, the people, poor dolts as we are, are stolidly-unwho wins or who loses. We dropped some ideas, yesterday, anent the absurdity of Iugging the Pacific Railroad into the Presidential Contest; because, in our épinion, the election of any partigular man to the Presidency will neither it nor retard the enterprise. : A correspondent, in another part of this paper, takes exception to our opinions; but we cannot take back,a word or a syllable-of what we,have said. In these United States of Aumeri¢a, the government is always far in the rear.of popular opinion and popular action. Who colonizes the territories in the wilderness ? “Not the government. The government comes in, with its slow conservatism, to take the reins, after tlle popular will has broken the colt. Who initiated the Pony Express! Not the government, but private enterprise. And what has the government done for it? Nothing. Yes—the government has talked about: it; but that is all In the same way we’ shall have a ruilroad. The enterprise must originate away down among the people, and the government must be argued or bviiglit into the measure, . as Providence may decide. — The fact is, the people have been so often cheated by the loud professions of the politicians, they are naturally becoming skeptical, and skepticism is never noisy. The people are quiet, and the politicians alone are noisy. Ss AT Wet Ravine, Sierra county, the Masonic company took out $10,000 in one try.

3,000 pounds more per trip via the Heness Pass than via Strawberry Valley; and I should judge their estimates-not at all exaggerated Certainly they have given us the best mountain road I ever saw in any counIt is ubundantly supplied with good bridges, avoids low, swampy grounds, and eschews the mud-holes. Its grades are all wide enough for the passage of teams guing in opposite directions, and: the -most difficult points involve an ascent of only sixteen inches to the rod in coming east, and seventeen inthes to the rod: in going: west. Thé scene~ try of this route is ‘less grand and imposing than that on the Placerville ; but while the latter would, for this reason, be preferred by the mere tourist, the former must eventually command the largest share of transportation. epi: ~ CRIME IN New YorRK.—As muchas has been said about the numereus crimes comsympathetic, and don’t seem to care much [mitted in California, it is a paradise compared to that great modern Sodum, the city of New York. The Tribune says that in New York, in a little more than three years, not less than fifty-five murders have been committed, the perpetrators of which Imve never been detected. The Commercial Advertiser adds : Of undetected murderers, where the murder has been deliberate, with malice and other evil motive,the number is alarmingly lirge. In 1857, Dr. Burdell was murdered in his own house; John Sweeney was beaten to death in the street; Mr. Van Liew was murdered and robbed at the corner of Canal and Mer: store; Henry Dodd was killed by a blow from a slung shot in Broadway, with other cases not enumerated. In 1853, Win. S. Fompkins, of California, was beaten to death in Broadway; J. P. Duyebink was shot in a canal st. saloon ; Frank Matthews was shot; Charles Samuels was murdered,his body tied toa stone and thrown into East-River. In 1859, Charles Conlon was beaten so that he died on reaching the hospital; Mike Walsh was found in an area, bearing undoubted signs of having been murdered; Bryan Kerrigan. was killed in. the street; Margaret McGann was poisoned ; the remains of « murdefed woman were found in a vault; John BD: Marshal was garroted; a German was robbed and murderedin Baxter.street ;.an unknown man was murdered on Five Points ; James Quinn, on board a schooner was shot by a river thief; John Brennan and Timothy Mileahy were fatally stabbed. In 1860, a woman, by many still believed to be Mrs Richardson, was murdered and thrown into the Jersey dock, petrators of these criines.
