For California.

One hundred and thirty mine person sailed
from New York on Wednesday, in the steamer
Ohio, for California. The indications ase said
to be that the emigration will be as great this
season as it was last year.
We do not know what may be indications
at New York, or in the East. says the ST Louis
Republican, "but we do know that nobody in
che West talks of going to California We
have not heard of single company going
across the Plains, and if one man goes now
where hundreds went last year, we shall be
greatly deceived. The intelligence from there
within the last last six months-the represen-
tations of the hundreds who have returned in
a worse condition. pecuniarily, that when they
started, and of the many who have returned
in bad health and dying-haye satisfied the
people that it is much better to stay at home
and do well than to go off on any such wild
goose chase. They can form their own con-
clusions now, from the representations of their
associates and friends, and eredence is no lon
ger given to the oyerstraiued and glaring
falsehoods put forth by interested sources
in California. They may coin as many stories
as they please about Jumps and islands ofgold,
but nobody will believe then."

We believe that small lines already under
taken may probably be omitted; but if there
be any errors they must be slight. In the
west proper then, we have more than THIR-
TEEN HUNDRED miles complete; SIXTEEN HUN
DRIED more actually under contract, and in the
whole, nearly FIVE THOUSAND MILES, which
will be completed in probably not more than
three years.
To give view of how some of these lines
connect as a continuous whole, we will give
an example in two great longitudinal railways
which will soon pass from the lakes, through
Cincinnati and Louisville respectively, TO the
extreme south.

These examples are enough to show how
these various lines are connected, and with a
good map, the reader can trace out the rela-
tions of others.
The cost of all these works will probably
amount to one hundred millions of dollars and
the financial arrangements, by which the
money will be raised, constitutes one Of the
extraordinary features of the times.
