Extract from letter written by leading advocate
of our principles, in central Virginia, dated
April 9th.
" ! am very well aware of the jealousy Of a por-
ton of the Virginia press, of the Organ, and am
not surprised at it, for human nature is human
nature the world over, and / suppose editors
have their share Of it. And occupying the posi-
tion you do Of the recognised Organ Of our party,
it is not to be wondered at that partisan editors,
heretofore assuming leadership should feel little
ANNOYED at the loss of position they have sustained.
Your wise and prudent counsels have done more
to cement party here in the bonds of a cordial
fraternity of feeling, than all other influences COM
bined; and when our cause shall have triumphed
in May, you will have the satisfaction Of knowing
that thousands Of your countrymen in the old Do
in your patriotic abors. say this, not in compli-
ment, but under sense Of justice, to render to
Cesar the things which are Caesars
Very truly yours, &C."

New RAILROAD PRoJECT.-A writer in
the San Joaquin Republican, calls attention
to a movement now on foot to connect Stock
ton with the Bay of San Francisco, by rail
road sixty miles long, striking the deep wa
tiers of the Bay on the east side, and not
more than four miles distant from Rincon
Point. This he says can be accomplished
in less than two years, and will be the best
remuneratiye route in the world-carrying
the thousands Of Atlantic passengers who
land monthly on the San Francisco wharves
directly through to Stockton, and the South
ern and Northern mining districts, in from
two to four hours, for three to FIVE dollars
or perhaps two to three dollars, linstead Of
paying $40 fare, or going to Sacramento
and freight at one-third or one=fourth its
present price-and will increase the popula-
tion of all the San joaquin and tributary
valleys making a connecting link through
the TETON Pass with the Atlantic and Pacif-
ic Railroad-do away with the monopoly
and high prices of fare and freight, that
press like an incubus on the very life OF the
community; and, in short awaken the pros
trate energies of Stockton, by showing up a
bright future, only little distace ahead;

FOREIGNERS IN OFFICE.-Jno. NJ. Clay
ton, in letter to D. Rodney King. of Phil
adelphia, thus gives our sentiments in regard
to foreigners holding Office in the United
States, We copy from americas Own:"
II have no prejudice against the honest
foreigners who come here to seek an asylum
from the tyranny of rulers abroad, All my
sympathies are with them, and when they
become naturalized, will defend them, as
American citizens, in all their rights, as
fully as those born on the soil. / would in
culcate and practice religious liberation, in
its broadest sense, but / would see to it
that no men of any sect, whose creed teach
es them to deny religious liberation to me
and my countrymen, should ever hold office
here, or power of any kind, to persecute us
for our religious opinions. No man who
acknowledges allegiance to any foreign po-
tentate or power, or who holds himself un-
der obligations to obey the edicts Of any
such potentate or power, shall be, by my
vote, placed in any post under the Ameri-
can Government. would defend the rights
of men of all religions to the full extent to
which those rights are guaranteed by the
American Constitution. But while | would
advise every American citizen to defend the
religious rights of all others, even at the
hazard of his life, would at the same time
advise him to peril his life not the less freely
in defence of his own.
| do not undertake to enter into the sub
ject how far foreigners, who are naturalized
in this country, should be permitted to hold
office. You will find that you can lay down
no general rule upon the subject, to which
there will not necessarily be exceptions. Il
is sufficient for my purpose, standing, as
do, without the power to confer offices upor
Others, to say that in my judgment, ma
tive American citizen under equal circum
stances of qualifications and merit, is better
entitled to the honors and Offices of tht
country than foreigner, whether natural
lied or not"

The great difficulty experienced in remoy-

The Indians are sometimes permitted by
merchants to,contract debts, and one near
Roses Bar had been charged with $4,000
worth of goods since 40. The principal
opposition to go on to the Reservation comes
from Nevada. county. The report concludes
as follows:
In the counties of Sierra and Yuba, al
most unanimous disposition exists among
the people to assist you in carrying out your
designs, and am persuaded that if Mr..
Storms, or some other influential man, were
to go among them some members of those
tribes high up on the Yuba would go with
him to the Reservation, and be of great as
sistance in etfecting a removal Of the other
tribes in the spring The success of the
Superintendent effort to induce them to
remove depends much upon the representa-
tion Of Captain Wiemah and John, (now
in the Reservation,) when they return to
the tribes again. Several influential In
dams have promised me to visit them on
their return, to ascertain if the representa-
tions they have heard of the country are
correct. If they report favorably, | think
large majority of the Indians in Nevada
county can be induced to leave for the
Henley House" as they term the Reserva-
tion, not otherwise. The industry and en-
ergy manifested by Mr.. Storms to induce
them to remove that he has carried there,
is worthy of the highest commentator.
He has to work against the united opposi-
tion of most of the influential men among
the Indians, said opposition arising from
reasons already set forth, and for the addi-
tional reason that they wish to show their
influence over the Indian, and to let you
know that their influence is worth paying
for, must be permitted to say to you,
however, that the better class of society
the most intelligent and rejecting portion
of our citizens, approve of your plan, and
will aid you in the execution thereof by
any proper efforts. Unfortunately, but few
of them have much influence with the In
dians.
