IMPORTANT CALIFORNIA NEws-PACIFIC RAIL
l WAY R0uTE.-The most interesting news re-
, ceiVed by the late arrivals, from California re-
late to the developments in regard to Nobles
Pass through the Sierra Nevada Mountains.
This is the Pass which VIM. Claude Jones men
toned and brought into public notice some
months ago, by letter of his which we pub
lished. but which the Republican disdaincd to
r notice, and which the Intellgcnccr only alud.
r ed to, to discrcdit as unreliable.
The only reasons for such course on the part
Ofthesc papers consisted in the fact that the
Pass was too iayorably located in regard to the
Central Route-it being in almost the same
latitude Of the city of st. Louis. and furnishing

c In Honey Lake Valley, lying at the eastern
i foot of the mountains, there were some four or
five hundred Indians engaged in gathering
kind of wild rye which was there growing in
the greatest abundance. They were rather
c quiet through fear it is presumed, however, as
i they had made some unfriendly demonstrations
toward one train. and were only deferred from
violence by the rifles of the emf grants.
