The State Sentinel says-A bill is before
the Legislature, providing for the extension of
the line of railroad from Evansville to Vim
cennes. to Terre Haute. A load has been
chartered south, from Henderson, opposite
Evansville, to Nashville, upon which it is said
operations will soon commence. Stock has
been already subscribed on the line, 80 miles
north of Evansville to Princeton, and lettings
will soon be made. II is said that that part
of the road in this State will not conflict with
the interests connected with the Wabash and
Erie Canal. If this be true, we certainly
should wish the road all success, for it will
bring to US great portion of the travel which
now goes up the Ohio river from the South.
A bill was read by Mr.. Harvey, that our
Senators and Representatives in Congress
be instructed to vote for bill instructing the
proper authorities to surrender all the bonds
of Indiana held by the United States, and re-
ceive instead subscription of stocks, as provid-
ed by act of the Legislature; first reading.
Both Houses seem to be advancing bust
ness very well. An immense number of pri
vate petitions and local bills have been read
Among them we discover nothing of particu
lar interest to this region.

LIFE IN SAN FRANcIsco.-Mr. Durivage,
the correspondent OF the Picayune, writes
from San Francisco:
Mr.. J. A. Rowe commenced operations last
night with circus company Of very fair
materials, and took in the very snug little
sum OF $4,000 pretty good beginning
There are two or three sets of Ethiopian sere-
naders in the city, who nightly lament the
absence of Miss Neal. mourn over the fate of
Rosa Lee, inform the public that they have
just arrived from Alabama or request, in the
most earnest manner, to be carried back to-
Old Vlrginny. There are more now gam
bling establishments than there are catfish in
the, Mississippi, and all have their peculiar at
fractions or BATS" In one is a very hand
some Chilano girl, beieweled like dowager,
who claps down her ounces as if they were
so many brass buttons. At another there are
three comely-looking American girls tending
bar, and are deep in the mystery of making
rum punches; brandy smasnes, and gin cock
tails. In one is a band playing Hail Colum-
bia; in another the Scottish bagpipes are
wheeling away Roy's Wife; IN another is
man blowing his brains out through a key
bugle; in another an Italian who beats the
bass-drum, plays the symbols, blows the Pam
dean pipes, rings set of musical bells on his
head, ind plays on several other instruments,
all at the same time; then there is the banjo
and the violin, the harps, the hurdy-gurdies
and the grinding organs and monkeys. And
TO all this sweet compound of sounds the rat
Ting and jngling Of money and dice on the
tables, the clinking of the glasses, the roar
ing OF some inebriate, the rumbling Of carts,
the knocking and banging of carpenters, and
you have avery faint idea of life in CaIifor-
MIA. Day and night it is toute la meme chose.
