Maine stands well in the United States Sen

Union can claim on the whole, better stand
ing in that disnifed body than the Pine Tree
State. 1t is not our obje-t to touch upon the
delicate question of Senator that is to come
before our Legislature in few weeks An
experiment of that kind would be rather pre-
upon the present representation of Maine in
the Senate; and we say that Senators Hamlin
and bradbury are entitled 10 the thanks of the
democrats of Maine, for their consistent,

SUBMARINE Boat FOR CALIFORNIA
Of the many valuable inventions exhib-
tied at the great fair at Castle Garden, the
submarine boat of Mons. Alexander, is
certainly the most wonderful. The Sec
ond experiment was made in presence of
thousands Of spectators, and like the first,
was entirely successful. The boat, with
eight gentleman on board, sunk to the
bottom, Ga depth of 81 feet and remain
ed there an hour and ten minutes. The
gentlemen did not suffer the least incon-
venience, and after partaking of refresh
ments, came again to the surface. This
is certainly one of the wonderful inven-
fions of the age, and promises to be OF
vast utility in recovering lost treasure,
sunken vessels, taking gold from the beds
of the rivers in California, etc. Six or
eight men can 60 down at a time, and
work the whole day without communica-
ting with the surface. Such a vessel
would be invaluable in the pearl fishery

The Times and Transcript contains a
very interesting article on the new route
through Mexico from New York to San
Francisco, by which weekly mail will
be transported. The proposed route is
from New York to Vera Cruz by steamer;
thence 10 miles by stage to the city of
Puebla; thence by stage 100 miles to the
Muscala river, by steamer $50 miles to
Zacatula on the Pacific Ocean, $50 miles
miles northwest of Acapulco.
Should this route prove practicable, we
may calculate the trip from San Francisco
to New York as follows: Five days by
steamer from San Francisco to Zacatula,
forty-eight hours by steamer from Zaca-
tua to the head of navigation on the Mus
Gala river; fourteen hours by stage from
the head Of navigation to the city Of Pu-
ebla; twenty-four hours by stage from
Puebla to Vera Cruz; six days by steamer
from Vera Cruz to New York-in all be-
ing less than fifteen days from San Fran
cisco to New York.
The company undertaking this work
can command cash capital of $5,OOO,OOO.

the greatest activity prevails among the

claims about that place have been either
ploughed or dug up during the past sum
mer and fall. At present the miners are
engaged in washing out their heaps of
earth. Every guIch and ravine contain
lug superabundance of water. The
"long tom" is in general use, although on
the flats suice washing is in vogue. Gold
Hill is in the center Of the richest mining
district of the county; and all who are so
fortunate as to possess claims are making
fair wages. Provisions although not
scarce are high. Board, however, can be
obtained for $1s per week. Great num-
bers are constantly f1ocking into Gold
Hill, or as it is now called Orc City, and
improvements of substantial character
are being made in this fourishing mining
