Few Of our readers perhaps aware, of the large
droves Of fat cattle that pass annually through State,
from the States Of Missouri Iowa, and Illinois, the
eastern cities. We unable ourselves to give the
number but it be mnch greater than generally
supposed Judging, from reliable information, that the
aggregate number n single route, known the
drovers route crossing the Wabash Covingon, La.
fayette and other upper Wabash towns, and passing
to and up White river, through Anderson, Nun.
ce and Winchester is annually from 10 600 so, 900
head Cattle Al, former years were merely raised and
grazed the extensive praies of the West and driven
the State of Ohio to be fed but Of late years. thsy
have heen mostly grain fed west and drove slowly east
to market. The cost and shrinkage Of these cattle,
learn in driving them to the Atlantic market from
this State $50 head the beef loses much of its
juicey in the process Of driving The cattle
three months the road and arrive in large
droves the Cities temporarily glutting the market.
All this must soon be remedied. When the continuous
line of railroad from Philadelphia through the States
of Ohio and Indiana, now rapidly being constructed,
shall be completed these cattle then be carried
the cars from Anderson the point where the drovers
route strikes the line of the Belefontaine Railroad,
heavy saving to the drovers the actual expense
and shrnkage, leaving the beeffresh and There
will be another advantage in this change of process In
getting these cattle to Market the drovers can have
them kept at the western end of the railroad much
cheaper until the demand for beef at the cities is right
and then by telegraph give notice and have them
ward on the in such numbers may be required in
few days. This change in the process Of carrying ouI
western fat cattle would doubtless be benecent to al
concerned.

GEORGIA LANDs.-Our readers will find in another
column able article from the Indiana Statesman rela-
tive the Georgia Lands As all the parties
ed in this swindng transaction were Democrats, the
Statesmans opinion is peculiarly worthy of considera
ton and should have great weight on the public mind
Montgomery Journal
1t is much easier for the Whig press, with the aid Of
the Auditor of State speak of the sale of the Georgia
Lands and the confirmation Of that sale by the Legisa-
ture "swindling transaction" than to show it by
the facts The facts are in nut shell. The Legisla-
authorized Gov Dunnng to sell the land and liked
the minimum at one thousand dollars. He sold it to
Martin R. Green, and Green paid over to him one
thousand dollars, the price agreed on The Legisla-
ture, acting as court had only enquire whether un-
der the law, Gov. Dunnng authorized agent OF
the State, and whether, such agent, he made sale
in pursuance of his authority If he did, the sale was
valid and the title good, and to have set aside would
hava been open of reputation, and second sale
would have been void But this is not the object Of
those who clamor the subject 1t is to make anissue
against those Democrats who voted for the confrma-
ton.

The following article is from the Shasta City
pondence Of the Sacramento City Times, which gives
the latest accounts Of Gen. Lanes whereabouts:
Among the last who left these dggngs for Scott river
is Gen. Lane and his men-he has six men to work for
him-he has been doing very well Onleys creek about
four miles from this place, but he has caught the Scott
river fever and started Yesterday. When he quits Scott
river he will Oregon and close up his business
and then perhaps locate permanently in this State. The
General looks WELL has long bushy hair like the rest of
miners, but his chin is kept shaved he red
flannel shirt and short pea jacket of the coarsest tex
ture Indeed he is very plain man, his conversational
powers of superior order, he interest crowd
for hours at time, in giving his views what the Federal
Government should and should do for California and
for her miners His views upon these subess sound
and although simon pure Wing myself, should have
reoiced had wise San Jose in the pentitude
OF their wisdom, selected him next U. s. Senator,
He has been among for nearly year aboring hard
all the time himse has seen Indian difficulties and
is emphatcaly Of the peope-one of the miners
upon whose depends all the greatness Of Cafor
MIA. But he has not himself sought to be Senator,
therefore the true interests of the miners lost sight
of and will probably be elected who knows
more what the actual wants OF this part OF our popula
tion are than a who has been here. In
versng with Gen. Lane day two since upon the SUBJ
ect of the numerous Indian outrages that are being con.
stantly committed he said: Let Congress a
thousand California citizens who would volunteer their
services. Put Jack Hays at their head Let each man
be furnished with frstrate horse, good rife pair
Of Colts large revolvers and pair of Colts five shoot
ers. Let this regiment be divided into companies and
have those companies stationed in different parts of the
mines under the command of suitable officers but let
Jack Hays be every and anywhere. Let plenty of bar
ley and hay be fed to the horses always kept in
good order and ready hour mount and charge
the red scoundres and his word for it the Indian diff
culties would cease These volunteers, he says,
should be paid well, and he would warrant that old
HAYS would have regiment that three thousand men
on earth could whip. He is down Fremont's bill
which sends the government collector around among the
miners. He endorses the plan of selling the lands in
small quantities. But enough of this.
