WAGON. ROAD THROUGH WILLIAMSON s
Pass TO THE DEsERT.-It is said that
Capt. Parkinson and William T. Morris
prospected as early as June 20, 1852, the
Pass now claimed as having been discov-
cred by Lieut.. Williamson and party, and
burnt their way through to the Desert be,
yond. They found vein of auriferous
copper in the Pass, but kept their discov.
cry secret for their own interest. Lieut.
Williamson cut wagon road through it,
and first made public the fact of its exist
ence.

The TIME FIxED.-It will be seen by
reference to an advertisement in to-day's
paper, that the running time of the Ohio
and Indiana Railroad has been fixed to
suit the time on the Ohio and Pennsylva-
MIA and the Mad River roads. Passen-
gers will now be carried through either
way on our road in time to connect with
the Pittsburg train of cars at Crestline o,

EVERY Man TO HIS TRADE.-Mr. Beistle
has received a very large and well select
ed assortment of boots and shoes, which
he will sell at mordate prices. He has
also laid in heavy supply of leather for
the purpose of supplying other shoemak-
ers and to manufacture to accommodate
customers. Read his advertisement and
buy your boots and shoes where you can
get good articles.

Our Railroad and its Effects.

A short time since it was argued by
seme persons, that this road would ruin
some of our farmers-reduce the price oi
their produce, and a thousand other mis-
representations were put in circulation.
The road is aow SO far completed that
passenger and freight trains Of cars can
pass over the road from the Ohio and
Pennsylvanis road, to the Mad River
road. The result will soon be seen, AMI
as we have always contended, the fstmer
moro than any body else, win Le benefit
cd; for he will now have a ready cash
market, a speedy transit Of everything
he raises to whera4Se can always get the
highest prices going. and cash in hand.
Our Stock men viii find better mar
ket foEtheir stock, as buyers can now find
tleir way iato our country, while hereto
fore. the railroads have been carrying them
al around US, but bringing none here.
Ina short time every branch of our fan M
ing community viii see the effects of the
road and reap ten fold rewards. Those
who opposed it will join us in saying, that
to the farmers at least, the road is bless
ing.
The Ohio and Indiana Road being the
most direct east and west route, is bound
to have great travel as soon as the pub
lie become acquainted with 1t, aud our
connection with other roads is completed,
which connection will soon be made; for
we have been informed by Mr. Straughan,
Chief Engineer and Superintendent on
the road, that arrangements are about be-
ing entered into that win fix this matter
within few days. Then will this road
be Of no advantage to our people? With
the travel, markets, and large business
brought into our county, who will say we
receive no advantage from it?

DISPOSITION OF THE WoRLD-If you
notice. you will hear every man complain
ing about his own town and the business
of it. We frequently hear person talking
about some place away of-the grand
progress making there. DC. The people
OF those places are constantly complain
ing and talking of some other place that
is much ahead of theirs. So we 60
never contented in any place or fix. II
appears to us that man never was destined
to be content with his lot. But after all,
Upper Sandusky is one of the places, and
the man that looks for better will very of
ten find much worse.

BUSINESS ON THE INcREAsE.-On last
Tuesday our town presented quite live
ly aspect. The teams from the country
were to be seen standing about m our
streets, and we really begin to thinkthat
ours, is getting to be one of the railroad
towns. The locomotive whistling and
the country folks gathering in with their
produce, make quite change in the ap-
pearance of things and business. When
we are as old as same other towns are,
with our present speed of progress, where
will we be? Far ahead of those who
have long had the start of us.

The Pacific Railroad Project.


We hear that Senator Douglas has pro-
posed to the Pacific railroad special COM
mittee, of which he is member, sort of
compromise between the conflicting sec
tional interests which are serving to COM
plicate the question or questions they are
to consider. We understand that, so far,
his proposition has only been verbally not
iced in their meetings. Or, in other words,
that he has not yet formally laid it before
his committee colleagues, in writing
Thus. he is said topropose that the Cover
ment, after necessary preliminary surveys,
shall cause three entire lines to be located
One north, another south, and the third
over the bestroute afforded as near as may
be equidistant between the other two.
And that then, without appropriating,
or in any other way advancing money to
aid the construction ofa arailway over either
route, the Government shall permit any
company to build either or all three of the
proposed railroads; aiding them only to
the extent of donations of alternate sections
of the public domain through which such
road or roads may pass. The lands to be
donated under restrictions which will
guarantee their apple cation to the purpose
intended. He is said to propose that the
Government shall not interfere to cause
either road to be undertaken first, leaving
that question to be settled by the company
or companies, undertaking the work OF
works.
We presume that nearly every member
of this especial committee will have scheme
or plan of his own. We are also certainly
of the opinion that thereis not the slightes
4 prospect at this time, that majority O.
this committee will agree to report during
the present session in favor of any specific
scheme. Washington Star.

two passes in each of the three mountain
ranges-the Rocky Mountains, the Bitter
Root Mountains, and the Cascade Noun

FIRE IN TIFFIN.-We learn by the Sen
eca Advertiser, that on Thursday last, a
fire took place in Mr.. Vannest's workshop
from which the fire reached the covered
bridge leading from this place to Tifin.-
The bridge and shop were entirely de-
stroyed. The Advertiser says of the
loss:
cat this moment we are unable to give
a correct estimate of the loss. We may
conjecture it, however, at $5, 900, at least
putting Mr.. Vannest's at $4,000, and
the bridge (which is the county's) at g.
O00... Mr.. Vennest was partly insured in
the Seneca Mutual. The bridge was an
old though very serviceable affair, and its
loss will be severely felt until it can be re-
placed by something better"
P. S. Since the above was put in type
we learn that another fire occurred in Tiff
fin, and that our townsman, Mr.. Pierson
is one of the heaviest losers.

1n01an trouble IN Ell Dorado
The Sacramento Journal of the 26th
ult. says:-Mr. Savers, aresident of White
Gap Springs, was shot few days since by
a party Of Indians, while travelling a short
distance from the town. The cause of
the attack is unknown When found,
Mr.. Savers was lying on the ground, with
the lower part of his face shot away, a
charge of shot in his thighs, and an ar
row nearly through his body. This ap-
parently unprovoked attack created quite
an excitement among the people in that
vicinity, and party was Immediately or
ganized to 60 in search of the Indians
We received yesterday from correspon-
dent the following account of the proceed
ings of the parties who went on the expe-
dition. He says:-The Indian hunters
have just arrived at my place a. P. NJ
They have killed six Indians and brought
in one prisoner that was taken by another
Indian, who said that the prisoner is one
of those who shot Savers. The company
then took vote on the question as to
whether they should hang or shoot him,
when it was decided unanimously to shoot
him. He was cut loose, and after he had
run distance of ten rods, the company
commenced firing at him with their rifles;
he ran about one hundred rods before he
fell dead. tthe time our correspondent
wrote Mr.. Savers was still alive, but not
expected to recover. We have no further
particulars.

The CROPS So far as we have observed, and from
information received from Farmers and others in
this section of country, and for miles around, the
crops are unusually promising The forward corn
is nearly made, and the late corn looks fine and will
make well if the season continues as favorable as
they have done for more than month. The cotton
looks better than it at this of the
year. 1t is tall and green, but either long spell of
wet or long spell of dry weather, we fear, would
injure it materially-too much wet weather. would
cause the bo.ls to rot, and too much dry weather
would them either to fall off or to open too
soon. We hope, however, that no disaster will hap
pen. The pea crop is luxuriant. Those who raise
turnips have already sowed the seed will SOW in
a few days. Now is good time to SOW to raise fine
turnips.
Ali those who have iabored hard this year in the
cultivation of the SOIL will doubt at harvest time,
reap a rich reward for their labors. 1t always graft
fies US to hear of good crops being made. We like
to see every one have plenty, especially of that
which is to sustain life. Thanks to kind proVi-
dence for the present favorable prospects.

In Buncombe, Madison and Yancey Mr. Bragg has
made nett gain of two hundred and eight votes,
compared with the vote two years ago. Woodfn's
maj. in this county is 80. Two years ago he beat
his opponent in this county nearly 800 votes Col.
Vance and Col. Reynolds, candidates for the Com
mons, are both Wings, the only material difference
between them was that the latter for Mr. Cling
man and Mr.. Badger for the Senate, while the for
mer was for the regular caucus nominees of the par
ty. We have made this explanation because eff
fort will be made to create the impression that the
election of Col. Vance is condemnation of Mr.. Cling
man by the people of this county The truth is, and
it is known by every intelligent in the county,
the election not decided upon the merits of the
Senatorial question. There side issues one
particularly which exerted controlling influence
in the contest If the election of Col Vance is con-
demnatory of Mr.. Clingman, it is equally of Mr..
Badger, for the two were always coupled together.
We hope the Colonel will make note of this and if
he feels bound to vote against Mr.. Cingman next
winter, he may feel equally bound to vote against
Mr.. Badger. AsheUiAe Neaos
