WEAvERyiLLE, Nov. Cd, 1853
GENTS Owing TO the inclemency of the
weather, business for the past week has been
very dull Winter seems to have set IN, IN good
earnest Yesterday morning snow laid ON the
ground throughout the town and neighborhood,
aud from appearance we should judge it has
fallen To considerable depth in the mountains.
Hon ]. w McCorkle arrived in town on Sat
urday evening and on Monday morning COM
menced his duties as Judge of this District
That he gives universal satisfaction as Judge is
| acknowledged by the unanimous feeling of the
bar. As a man and citizen he is highly es-
teemed. and during his short stay with US has
made many friends. We only hope that he will
become induced to make this portion of the
State his permanent residence.
One of the largest ana most enthusiastic meet
ings that we recallect of lIaving seen in the
county, took place on Tuesday evening in this
town. The object of The meeting was The con-
sideration of the Atlantic and Pacific Rail Road,
the route by which it should enter the State, &c.
Or. Smith was called 10 the chair, and ]. G.
Bnrch appointed Secretary. The chairman
stated the object Of The meeting in brief and
eloquent address. A committee was then APP
pointed TO draft series of resolutions expressive
of the sense of the meeting, Ga copy Of which
you will find accompanying :his.)
The meeting then addressed ably and at
length by Hon. J. w. McCorkle, Messrs. Piizer,
Chadburne, Rowe, and others.
The unanimous feeling of the meeting, as ex-
pressed through tie resolutions and the speak
ers, expressed in favor of the Noble route,
us it is known TO be the best We hope the feel
ing which now exists in favor of this route will
not be abandoned until it shall haze received
that attention from both the National Govern
| nlent andt the people, Which lis position and mcr-
lis SO justly entities it.

RoADs.-We understand that Messrs Ferring-

employed the past two weeks, in improving the
road leading from this place TO Whisky Greek.
We are further informed that they have done
their work i'll most thorough manner, so that
now it is quite practicable for team to draw
even a full load of hay the road, and Messrs,
ferringlon & Wnsnte expect TO be able TO haul
lumber from their saw mill TO this place the en-
tire winter through. Up to this time there has
been, presume, not less than two thousand
dollars expended in improving this road by
MesSrs l.. II. Tower, Ferrington & Wingate and
other enterprsing citizens. Such liberalty on
the part of individuals is deserving of all com
mendation. and we would be glad did the law
permit and the county finances justify it, to see
these gentlemen al least in part remuncrated
for their enterprise from the Comfy Treasury.

THIS project is being very generally agitated
ihrou ghont the State, and a majority of the pa
pers, both city and country, have already ex-
pressed their views relative TO the contemplated
movement. Without making count of these
expressions of the press, are under the inn
preston that the greater number have urged the
propriety and wislom of removing the capital
from Benicia to Sacramento. 1t is therefore
placed beyond all reasonable doubt that an effort
TO that effect will be made, at the approaching
session of the Legislature.
In our opinion ii is ga consummation devo,tly
to be wished" In every aspect in which the
qnestion has been presented by those hostile to
the movement the wisdom and sa.utary results
Of the contemplated chnnge have impressed
til mselves upon mind.
If the want of adequate accommodations in
Valleio-that magicaiy created city of tremen-
duous expectations and unimaginable future glo-
lics-were of sufficient potency last winter to
Justify the remosal of our peripatetc and fire.
IN ntly perturbed State capital TO Bcnicia, (and
he men Of Benicia seemed so impressed at that
inc, J them we submit, like deficiency in the
town of its present location should be produc-
tive ofthe same consequence and justify It's fur
iher removal 10 Sacramento.
Sacramento is, to all intcnts and purposes in
the very heart of the great body Of the popula-
ion OF tie State and therefore moro accessible.
li.d at considerably less cost, for majority of
lie people AT large. She has all the comforts, in
tie way of accommodation for members, during
tie session Of the Legislature, that the country
can furnsh-which Brncia has not Her eli
mate and location re-eminenlly pleasant,
while those of Benicia are the very reverse as
The members who last winter passed so many
days on those dreary hills, can testify. Not all
he weight OF The plulttudinous cares Of govern
mcnt, nor Of snndry gre AT coats, were sufficient
20 save !hcm from being chilled almost To the
heart by the damp and freezing winds fresh
blown from the co waters Of he Straits uf Car
4nhez. 1t is surely no good reason, because
men happen 10 be elected 10 make laws for HE
people, that they should be banislcd, as it were,
from the many delightful portions OF The State,
to the bleak hills and iuhosptablc cline of Be
nca. The curse is sufficient without The su-
pcriluous cruelty.
The objection 50 frequently urged against the.
removal, that it would be atterdtd with an cx-
penditure of half hundred thousand dollars. is
simply ridicu.uas;y absurd. There are ten fhori-
sand men within our borders who weuld iump
at u contract to remove all the trap and trap
pings of Government, from The Governors Of
flee down. for the sum OF ten thousand dollars.
But we do not propose 10 argue this question
now. At the proper time we may do So Suf-
flee it to say, that in our opiliun good and sut-
fcient reasons do exist for the proposed removal,
and we trust the ensuing Legislature may cor
summate the act.

The best evidence that can be adduced in favor OF
the cicacousness Of lToohands German Bitters pre-
pared by Dr. c. N Jackson is the unprecedented de-
mand for them from all parts Of the Union; and al.
thourh.there may be many compounds prepared and
represented as being worthy of a liberal patronage,
vet we feel constrained to remark that the vast num-
bcr of testimonials with which the worthy doctor has
been honorcd by persons of the highest character and
responsibility who found it necessary to have recourse
to his preparation is testimony sufficiently conclusive
that more efecual remedy for the almost immediate

THE SWORD VS.. THE PEN.-"Wc notice" says
the Atheneum, "a curious instance of the invol-
uutary homage which the sword will sometimes
pay to the pen, even in countries the most des-
politically ruled. The Sierra, Milanese journal,
has lately published in its leading columns some
articles on the question Of capital punishment
articles breathing something Of the mild and
phlosophic spirit of the great Milan jurist, Bee,
caria. Prince Radetzky, however, though he
has hundred thousand men under arms in Mi
Ian and its neighborhood, will not answer for the
results if such questions are to be publicly dis
cusscd, and he has sent to inform the editor that
if any more arguments be printed in bis journal
against the punishment of death, his Journal will
be at once suppressed. What an expression is
it of the military power Of Austria in Lombardy,
when hundred thousand bayonets trenbe be,

"Dr. Tying spoke with great apparent con-

power is harmless. He announced the fact that
there were mediums among the commandments

When DR.. Frankn's mother-in-law first dis,
covered that the young man had hankering for
her daughter the good old lady said she did not
know so well about giving her daughter to
printer; there were already t~o printing Offices
in the United States, and she was not certain
the country would sustain them. 1t was plain,
Young Franklin would have to depend for the sup.
port Of his family on the profits of the third, and
that was rather a doubtful chance.
