The Marysville Herald, in an article on the
Pacific Railroad, is urging the necessity OF ex-
plorations in some of the Northern routes. From
all we can learn outside Of scientific survey, |
Mobiles Pass offers facilities for Railroad not
vet found in the proposed routes further South.
I'VE conversed Yesterday with a gentleman who |
had passed through it. He informs us that, |
without The removal of stone, or the leveling
of hill, horse and buggy could be driven
throuh it to-day. The Herald says:
Indeed, our conviction is now stronger than
ever that the most direct. and most feasible
route for the road, is through the South Pass Vi
the Rocky Mountains, and Mobiles, or some 9th
er Norihen pass in the Sierra Nevada. Old
mountaineers men who have hunted and
trapped for years through these Northern noun
tains tell us that there less snow IN the range
on the north than on tue south OF Feather river
The SUNNI of the mountains also evidence
| this fact To the SOUTH in the summer as well
as in winter, they glitter in the sunshine, cover
ed perpetually with the radlanl foDe oi SHOW
| Not so in the North.
What we urge then, is this; that a scientific
| exploration be set on foot by the convention, to
| examine the northern route, aud see II these
| statements of pioneers and these indications of
nature do point out short aud practicable
route on the north, for the entrance oi the road
| into State.
/ The Shasta Courier, in an article upon the
same subject, makes use OI tue lOllOWiHS
guage:
We are satsfe that thorough survey of the
Sierra Nevada Mountains would give Mobiles
route the preference over any other route thai
would be sufficiently direct to answer the inter
ests aud demands of commerce. We only hope
| therefore, that the action of this Convention will
not direct the attention of the General Govern
,nent to any one ronie, TO the neglect of the adj
vantages of others proposed. Let every route
be fairly and impartally presented. and we OF
the North will have no fears to the result.
Since the above was written, we have received
the Sonora Herald, which, in an article ON the
same subject, says:
Living as we do, in the Southern mines, we
must naturally desire TO the great Pacific
and Atlantic Railroad enter California on the
south But the besi testimony that we can
gather, forces us to admit that Walkers Pass
does not present practicable entrance while
Nobe's Pass, on the North, challenges every
other entrance which has yet been discovered.
Major Pearson B. Reading has repeatedly stated
that he can drive horse and buggy ON good
: trot all the way through this pass aud that the
SHOWS here are very light. II is useless to con-
Fl tend against nature and the everlasting hills
The great Railroad viii enter California so as to
suit Oregon, or else at the extreme south, neal

Mr.J D. Stands. d the O'Falleh Mil, sx-
hibi'ed day before yesterday in the Merchants
Exchange. to the millers,and others. an inven.
onti on which apaten, has been claimed for the
dressing of mill stones. The machinery is
simple but powerful. and capable Of being
worked by any one who knows enough Of the
face OF q mill stone to understand where it
needs improvement. 1t is beyond our power
to give description Of the machinery although
it is so simple that child, by seeing it. could
comprehend its working and effects.
Suffice it to say, The machine can be applied
to the surface of lhe'upper or neither mill stone
lit can be guided in any direction. or made
to cut in any line desired--the force of the cut
can be regulated 1t the will Of the operator
when the stone Is hard. or soft. he can make
the cut correspond ID he necessity Of the case.
1t has been fairly nd repeatedly tested al
the OFallon Mil. and the finest French burs
have been dressed more accurately aud woII in
a few hours, when the same dressing by the
old hand system' would have taken days.
Men who could not dress by hahd. for the
dressing Of milestone by hand is an art that
few millers attain to. have performed the work
to more satisfaction than could have besp pos
sib!y done by the ol(process. But The milIers
must see it. and il ge for themselves. We
venture the opinion I'd we have some right to
an opinion. for we had some practical ex.
perience, that, whs ested. it will be found 10

THE PASSAGE.

Many year is dead and buried,
Since across this stream ferried;
Here the tower in evening glowing,
There's the same old river, flowing.
With me, in this skiff, were seated
Two companions. fondly greeted;
All! friend, with fathers blessing.
And youth, warm hope expressing.
That one wrought the task assigned him.
Left milder memories behind him;
This one hraved the deadly rattle
Foremost fell in storm Of battle.
When thus, the joyous. hearted,
Dare to think on days departed,
must miss dear comrades ever,
Friends whom death did from me sever.
Yet, what all true friendship bindeth,

Spirit.like those hours sweep BY me,
Spirit forms are ever nigh me.
