The SToCKToN AND San FRANCTseo RAIL
ROAD.-The citizens of Stockton and others
interested in this enterprise have beeh quietly
yet steadily at work for some time past in
collecting the necessary statistical informa-
tion, and in otherwise maturing their plans
for a speedy commence ment of this; one OF
the most important thoroughfares projected
in the State-the connecting of the *allies of
the San Joaquin and Sacramento with San
Francisco. The surveys have been COM
pleted, and the maps and profile coFer six
ty feet of paper in length. showing ,the pen
feet practicabiIity of the route. MIRO, Byrne
and Ex-Gov. Burnet leave on the steamerS6f
Thursday for Europe, whittier they go for the
purpose of procuring the necessary capital
for building the road. The documents enc
statistics which they take with tHqfn, and
their well known ptrsUuul QUALIFICATIONS for
such negotiation, preclude all fears of any
want of success in their mission. =.
Steps are also being taken for the con-
struction of railroad from the San francisco
terminus of this road, on the opposite coast
of Contra Costa, to San Jose, which is said
to be perfectly practicable route. : The dis
tance we believe is about 33 miles, The dis
tance from the same point to Stockton is 81
miles, 4

PETITIoN-Mr. Flint has presented a petit
ton from San Francisco, signed by 700 per-
sons, askinga an amendment to the. law con-
cerning evidence, so as to admit negro testi-
mony in our State courts The petition was
referred to the Judiciary Committee, which,
the Sacramento correspondent Of the San
Francisco Chronicle thinks. from its ultra
Southern character, will recommend denial
of the prayer Of the petitioners. We under
stand that that petitions to the same effect
as the above have been quite numerously
signed throughout the State.

AuRIFERoUs QUARTz.-The editor of the

They were taken from lead just discovered
within mile or two of Iowa Hill This dis

Iowa Hill and if there are really quartz
leads in the vicinity Of sufficient value and
extent to justify the erection of mills, they
will prove a source of wealth to the COM
munity.
