SACRAMENTo, July .5th,


On Tuesday morning, per Adriance &
Buekingham's admirable stage line, we
left Nevada, and by noon were rolled
into the brisk city of Marysville. The
quick time of this line makes it decided
ly preferable over any other; for the
dust IS almost intolerble by any route
at this season, and four or Eve hours
saved in it is most desirable.
Business seems dull in Marysville.
The plank road-the only enterprise
that can really give continued presperi-
ty to the place-is allowed to sleep in
peace. The difficulty now alleged is
the high price chargedin Nevada coun-
ty for lumber It matters little what
the excuse is, there is always some in
superable obstacle in the way of the
Marysyilliaas, and strange to say, they
have the idea still that Nevada county
is not ready for the work, er not acting
in good faith. The report of the sur
veyors is just made; and the estimate
of the total cost Of the road is the mode
rate sum Of s374S52,75. The estimated
revenue of the road for one year is set
down by the same report, after all ex-
penses are deducted, at $282,000. 1t is
well remembered that the committee
of Marysville pledged that city to raise
S250,0O0 for the plank road, in event of
the modification of the law--since made
If that pledge was made in good faith,
now is the most favorable opportunity
to redeem it; but little longer, and it
will be too late for this season-we be-
lieve forever. But we have now little
idea the Marysville road will be built,
There has been too much temporising
Ia the time when only prompt action
was needed; and it W II be indeed rails
ing the project from the dead to set at
work on it in earnest. AS no action has
followed the very favorable report of the
engineers, which demonstrates about
seventy-fve per cent. per annum, we
know not when to expect it. The citi-
zens of Nevada county have evidently
nothing to anticipate from Marysville.
We learn from Col. Rust, that he in
tends shortly to change the Express into
q daily sheet. He deems the busin ess
of Marysville demands daily, and has
determined to supply the dssideratum.
Sacramento is rapidly improving un-
der the energetic hands of its citizens.
Brick buildings are common staple in
its streets, and on the whole the city
looks bstter'than before the fire. The
streets are being raised, and the lavish
investment Of capital in various diree-
tions, gives good evidence that the in
habitaAts have entire confidence in it's
permanency. If the next winter is
mild, and the city escapes food, the
protect ton against such accidents will
have been rendered so complete by the
entire raising of the streets and levee,
that the days of its heavy misfortunes
will be ended. Sacramento deserves
sympathy for its trials and losses, and
admiration for its courage and perseve-
rance. The history of the city is a
continued exhibition of the most heroic
and sublime qualities on the part of it's
denizens. Without for moment quail
ing, they have combatted fire, and flood,
and plague, still clinging to the spot of
Stheir adoption, till, emerging from them
all triumphantly, they have now the
second city in the State in all the char
acteristics Of greatness.
The delegations to the Wing State
Convention of tomorrow, are in from
the entire State. The impression OBJ
tains that Waldo will be nominated by
acclamatien for Governor. The candi-
dates for the other officers are mum erous
and it is impossible to even guess at the
chances of the various aspirants. A ge-
neral impression prevails however, that
a crisis has arrived in the politics of the
State, and now is the time for the Whig
party to ensure its ascendency, and a
better administration of State affairs
by the nomination Of men of known in1
tegrity and ability. So mote it be.
Lola Moutez is now in this city, and
performs tonight at the new theatre.
By the way, as the charming lady has
entered in the holy bonds, we presume
she may add to her dazzling titles the
unpretending sobriquet of Mrs. Hull.
