ILLINOIS RAILAoAD.-7he Work Begun.
On Monday week, the New Albany and
Salem Railroad Engineer commenced his
survey to Lafayette by the Illinois State
line. he struck the State line somewhere
near the boundary line of the towns Of
Bloom and Thornton iEtersect the Indiana
State line. The worst part Of the road from
Chicago to Michigan city is the first II ms.
out ofthe latter place, where the grading
begins to day, and it will take near five
months to complete this section.
As Mr.. Mason, the engineer Of the ILL
|nois Central, had not arrived when our pa
per went to press, il may be that he went
from Michigan city out upon this line and
so comes from the point Of junction here.
If this point of junction shall be approx
ed by the Illinois Central, Joliet people will
find themselves within about twenty-five
miles of a point on the road where they can
form a connection with Chicago, Detroit
or Lafayette. Thus, for half the money
they would expend in helping the Southern
Michigan Railroad fight the Illinois Gen.
trail, Joliet people could connect with the
Illinois Central ats point in the vicinity Of
Blue Island, and could then extend their
road to Ottowa, Peru and Rock Island.
In two to three weeks, the line of the IL
linOis Central will be agreed upon. Until
this is done, had not the Rock Island Com
pany better refrain from expanding any mo-
ney ave on the honest tract from Rock Is
land via PEN, Ottowa, and Joliet to a point
fifteen to twenty miles out ofJoliet on
the most direct couEse to Chicago. We
believe the Southern Michigan will yet use
the road Of the Illinois Central int Chica-
Co.,. sos .f.t7b4TsiTt Gg3 r.uE uaL
The grade from Chicago to the State
line is neasy one, and three months only
is estimated for its compilation. 'i15da,n

California Items.

The news from this State is again quite fiatter-
ing. The amount of gold exported from San
Francisco during the first quarter Of the year
1851, is estimated at about thirteen millions Of
The richest mining region is stated 10
be on the Feather and Yuba rivers. Very ia
accounts are also received from the Tuo-
Ilunne, San Joaquin. the Stranislaus, Mockelom-
me, Klamoth, &c. The miners at Longs Bar,
on Feather river, average three ounces per day.
Quartz mining has been prosecuted with sue
cess. The following item from q California pa
per will do very well TO ainuse, in place Of q
MARVELLOUS gold story: l.
"a party of gentlemen had returned to San
Francisco from all exploring expedition into a
section of country almost unknown, about fifty
miles above Bsnicia. They had been induced to
make the trip from the wonderful accounts Of a
few hunters who had visited that portion of the
State The party consisted Of five, including
AN Cd hunter who was acquainted with the coun-
try. They reached a point within Ten miles of
the POt they desired 10 explore without any diff
|icul9, and then commenced TO force their way
over Mountains andhilis through q dense growth
|oi chaharral. When they arrived within a short
distance of a mountain towards which they had
been making all day, they heard a tremendous
roaring aid kissing, which, on examination, they
found toproceed from steam issuing from a num-
Der Of spertures in the mountains sides, and
sounding like a great number of steamboats,

TOBACCO Factory BUkNED.-On last
Wednesday night, about s o'clock, the ex-
~tensive tobacco factory Of Mr.. George R.
Dupuy. of this place, was entEely c0nsum.
ed BY fire. There were upwards Of four
hundred thousand pounds OF tobacco in the
house at the time Of the fire; all Of which
was consumed except nine Lhds. of lugs.-
We understand that MIR. Dupuy was fully
insured, but in what Offices we have not
been able 10 learn. 1t is thought the house
was set on fire, as there had been no fire in
the factory during the day, and when first
discovered, was issuing through the roofof
the building; and the house being full ofdTy
tobacco, caused tito burn down 10 q few
minutes. -Brunswicker. , o.. .ssz

JUDICIAL ELECTION.

We regret to see our friend of the "Missouri
Whig'' in such a pet, about the remarks of the
North East Reporter, the Courier, and Times, in
regard TO this election. We have really seen
nothing so grievousiy wrong in what they have
said, or so Objectionable as to excite the Wing so
much. tits certainly true that a strong effort has
been made in certain quarters to get up some sort
of opposition to Judge Wells. Whether this move
originated in political feeling or not, we are ma
BILE to state positively; but the parties engaged in
lit, and the candidates sought 10 be enlisted. pre-
sent some evidence of fhe fact. Why it is, we
cannot say. These gentlemen who are so eager
to drum up an opposing candidate, do not pretend
to dispute the qualifications and integrity of Judge
Wells. They acknowledge that no better man
can be had in the district, and that the election
should not be decided upon party grounds. Then
why put themselves TO the trouble of urging and
soliciting others upon the field, to suffer the ex-
IRENE modification of a Waterloo defeat. Mr..
Broadhead has wisely declined, and we presume
he is shrewd enough to remain declined So also
with the democrat alluded TO by the Wing. The
people are not TO be driven into a pariizau scram-
bile in this election for judicial officers.
y The Cuban expedition continues to create
much excitement in the South. The papers are
filled with accounts Of the cOngregating OF large
bodies Of men, the mysterious departure Of yes.
sells, and the unaccountable warlike preparations
in certain quarters. Indeed it has not yet been
definitely ascertained to what point these men de-
sign going. Hence the various cOnjectures and
suppositiors that have sprung up from the strange
movements Of those connected, as it appears,
with the contemplated expedition. Large num-
bers Of persons in different parts Of Georgia and
Florida erected e~ncampments, awaiting, as is
supposed, the arrival Of vessels to transport them.
Later dates, however, indicate that they have
now principally dispersed-the vessels not ar
rislng as anticipated.
1t is thought that a movement OF considerable
magnitude is contemplated in relation to this ex-
|pedition to Cuba, and that it is the design of those
connected with it, not TO oaganize or equip them
selves in he United States, but 10 sail 10 some
other country and there make such arrangements
as may be thought proper and convenient.

The enterprising publishers have here presented
TO the legal profession, as we Judge, long felt
desideratlnl-a prompt, cheap, and comprehensive
series of reports of all the decisions of all the Eng
lsh courts The series commences with the cases
of the November term, 1850; and we observe in the
first number decisions pronounced in Westminster
Hall ON the 30th January, 1851. This ID unparal-
leled despatch in the history of legal reporting
Westminster ia here brought two years nearer 10
US than own court house. The style in which
the work is issued reflects great credit upon the
publishers, editors, and all connected with it.
The page 10 large, fair, white, and readable. The
table of cases and index seem to be prepared with
much careand diligence. The former strikes US as
executed on very useful plan, referring not only
also short abstract of the subject of each case.
The editors notes scattered through the volume,
referring to American decisions and still more TO
the value of the work. The publication is TO be
continued in monthly parts or numbers, making
each year ak large octave Volumes for the remark
ably low price of b 10 per annum. We trust both
editors and publishers will receive ample remuner
alton for the service they here doing the legal
profession.
