The chief part Of this large amount has been re-
Ceived since December lsi, and is the PRODUCTION of
the mines of California viz: 1913 23i SOP II. In A
former report some reasons were suggested teudiur
to show that the large amount of gold from California
and that produced from Australia, need excite no ADJ
prehensions in regard to any material disturbance IN
the value of the precious metals yet it cannot but be
apparent that this increase renders il highly imnor
ant that States and nations should extend the us of
gold and drive out OF existence that which circulate.
in place of it.
There is one point connected with this subject and
the general management of the national coinage.

Southern Railroad to the Pacific.


SENATE.-Mr. Brown introduced bill for
the construction of raiload and telegraph.
line from point OH the Mississippi, south of
latitude 81 to the Pacific, at San Francisco.
The bill grants about 1900, 900 acres of land
for which the Company pay so cents an acre
before obtaining title and are to be requir-
ed to deposit $4,000 as security that the
works shall be faithfully performed, accord
ing to the provisions of the bill. Within
IL months 100 miles of the road must be
completed, the Government to pav 5000 per
mile for carrying the mail till the road is fin
ished and for 10 years thereafter, and for
such reasonable sum as the Secretary of War
may determine for carrying troops, munitions
of war, &c. The road is to be forfeited with
in 10 years and all lands except those paid
for to revert to the United States. The bill
grants the right of way 400 yards wide,
gives no exclusive privilege, but allows any
company to construct roads when and where
they please and obtain such favors from gov
eminent as they can. Referred to commit.
tee on the Pacific.
Mr. Weller said the Committee would en-
deavor to report next week,
.HoUsE-The Speaker submitted a COM
munication from the Court of Claims enclo-
sing bills making appropriations for the pay
ment OF certain private claims, together with
the evidence and the Judgment Of the Court
in the several cases. This is the first case
OF the kind originating under the act creating
that tribune.
A debate followed regarding the proper
disposition of the bill. 50
The House passed the military academy
and invalid pension bill.

SIR Il have been reading your speech OF
the Kansas Nebraska bill, House of Repre-
scntatives, Dec. Ii, 1854. Ore short pas
sage gave me 6, eat pleasure. You say: 81
have briefly passed over and anal yzed this
act. l denounece it as transferring the just
powers Of the people of the States. to the
National Executive, already swollen with it's
enormous powers of Federal patronage aud
the veto. The tranfer is bittcrpill No
doubt OF it, and the entire bill, doubtless, is
no more bitter still. But you were forced
to swallow it. tits the sweetcr to us be-
cause you loathc it. Disgor.e it if YOU dare.
Repeal the Fugitive Slave Law at your peril.
Pitifui, mel Ldlins, Eectoring fanatic--y you
dare not do it.. The South is aroused YOU
see d, and. YOU will quail you will crawl
back into your fanatical den, and snsri, and
growl, and show your claws, but you dare
not strike, and I, for one, am sorry for it.
Now mark me--you have got the vote in the
House to do it. Refuse Kansas admission
into the Union, and in ninety days she will
be admitted into Union freed from your
foul, containing connection. ,t.e -..s.t ID.
Believe this is [not] intended as a threat
to deter you-(you are deferred already y
it is sent to you in the hope that ifyou have
one spark of courage, it may fire that spark.
2Tis vain-you will retreat from yonr lofty
boastings faster than your regiment ran
from the Mexicans at Buena Vista, when
they had to be covered by Southern shields.
Respectfully, JOHN A. JoNEs.

We spoke day or two since in regard to
the Northern route of the Pacific Railroad
-remarking that the belief was fast becom,
ing general that ours would be the first road
quilt between the Atlantic and Pacific. We

bunal to decide upon that route which shall
appear most feasible, and appropriating not
less than Five Millions per annum for its vio-
orous prosecution till completed. would
like to say Ten Millions, but will take FIVE
as an instaltneht Until we can do better. =
H"e are spending Forty Millions per ahnun
on Army, Navy, Fortifcations, &C.. and this
Pacific Railroad would be worth the full half
OF all these as measure of National Defense.
II would save most OF the large sums now
pald tor carrying troops, stores, munitions
ana mails py way OF the Isthmus or Cape
Horn. 1t would bring San Francisco within
ten days OF New York, and secure to our
Atlantic and inland cities the lucrative and
rapidly increasing trade Of the Pacific coast of
this Continent. 1t would fill Oregon, Wash
lngton and California with thrifty, intelli-
gent and Industrious population. In shot;
the Pacific Railroad is the great enterprise
OF our age, and half the money annually
squandefed by our Government in extraya-
CANT appropriations and jobs would complete
it in ten years. 1t need not be more than a
thousand miles long at farthest; let the Gov
ernment make that extent in the middle.
and the ends would make themselves. If
the road now stretched from the uppermost
point of steamboat navigation on the Mis-
souri, Arkansas, or any tributary of either
to the heads of steamboat navigation on the
Columbia or Sacramento, it would forthwith
be connected by private enterprise with ei-
thcr ocean.
AS to routes, believe the Northern, from
Lake Superior or St, Paul to Puget's Sound
by far the cheapest, shortest and best; but
| am for the road anyhow and on any line:
1t ought to be vigorously commenced in the
Spring Of 1857 at farthest. H.G.

Fruit Tfees killed.

Mr.. Finley Of the Scott County Nursery,
says the Davenport Gazette, estimates that
he has lost hundred thousand fruit trees
by the severe cold of this winter We have
not heard of any losses on this sides of the
river, and sincerely hope that our thriving
Rock Island Nurseries may have escaped a
similar fate.
Mr. J. A. Boyer informs us that he exam
ined number of fruit trees the other day,
and found every one completely deadened,
from the severe effects of the cold weather.
If the trees are generally killed, it is to be
regretted: We hope however, that the dead
ening process has been carried to a limited
extent, and that we will be favored with an
abundance of all kinds Of fruit the coming

Tie DICTATOR OF CENTRAL AMERICA
Gen. Walker, says the Boston Atlas, carries
matters with high hand, and is evidently
determined to have no rival near his throne.
Poor Col Kinney, travelling up to the Court
of King William "w with diplomatic corps,''
and proposing peaceful division of Nicara-
qua into two States, is snubbed at once, and
told that he is a mere interloper. He then
humbly proposes to lend his sword and SER
vices to the new Republic, and is informed
distinctly that his room is infinitely more
valuable than his company. Immediately
after this rather depressing decision, Col.
Kinney is with great pomp declared "a pris-
oner of state," and subsequently, like Louis
Philippe, Mazzini, John Mitchell, and other
distinguished men, he is banished, and is
now pensively en- route for San Juan and
New Orleans. He may thank his lucky
stars that King William did not kill and eat
him. A more .truculent monarch does not
at present reign in Central America. He is
not only King but Editor; and in the last
number of Ell Nicaraguense, he significantly
reminds the people of Costa Rica and other
uneasy States, that "those who draw the
sword shall perish by the sword"

"BoB SMITH" - Hon. Rob't. Smith, a
gentleman well known in Minnesota-and
favorably known, also, we may say, except
that some of us don't like his politics-is
running for Congress it would seem in the
Alton Ill. district, to fill the vacancy oc-
casioned by the elevation of Judge Trum-
bull to the Senate. If a Nebraskaite is to
be elected, we hope Mr.. Smith may be the
man, notwithstanding the following hard hit
which is given him by the Belleyille Advo-
cate, formerly leading Democratic organ:
eBob Smith" has been in the field for a
year he has canvassed the District from
one end to the other; has taken by the
button-hole every man; flattered every wo-
man, and kissed and praised every baby in
the nine counties of Upper Egypt. Such
industry is certainly commendable and ought
to be rewarded by success. He is just the
man too for the Nebraskaites. Nobody can
charge him with consistency. He has been
in favor of and against the Wilmot proviso !;
for and against the Nebraska fraud rem
agade Whig and rotten Democrat. Such
a man ought, certainly, to be very acceptable
to the Nullifers of this District; but, some
how or other, he is not. Even he does not
suit many, and they are looking about for
somebody else. -...

st. Pairick's Day.

The Anniversary of the birth Erin's patro,
saint was celebrated in this city yesterday in
most appropriate manner. A larger numbc
of persons participated in the proceeding
than we have ever before seen in St. Paul
People gathefed id from the country fo
many miles around.
The procession formed in st. Anthon,
street in the morning, and marched to the
Catholic Church, where appropriate ceremo
nies were had, when it reformed and march
ed through Wabasha, down Third, and
through other principal streets, and back
again to the Church.. 1t was nearly half 8
mile in length ard made very imposing ap
pealance, being composed, in part, by the
United Sons Of Erin and The Hibefnian Be
nevolent Societies, accompanied by two bands
of music (the st. Paul band and band from
Fort Snelling.} Flags, banners, &c, were
displayed in an appropriate manner. sa-f
The procession then waited on ex-Gov.
Ramsey and was warmly received, and en-
tertained with a few complimentary remarks:
We learn the supper was postponed till
some time next week, when it will take place
at the Market Hail.. s. arae,f. sn' >.-.

Eanks for Preside mt !

Our shrewd neighbor of the Galena ,Ad-
vertiser who claims to be something of
President maker, has the following in his
paper of the 4th: .,---.... .....t
The name of N. P. Banks has been men
toned as the Republican candidate for the
Presidency. He is young, vigorous leader,
against whom the masses have no prejudice
at heart, and even many of those who would
vote against him from compulsion of party
rule, would rather rejoice at his success. He
would represent, perhaps, the principles of
the Republican party, and sustain its faith
as wei as any one, and this is saying much
in his favor, for deep and vital principle will
govern those who vote for the Republican
candidate at the next election, to greater
extent than has governed parties heretofore.
With such men as Francis p. Blair to give
counsel, we have confidence, which has
sometimes been wanting, that the right men
for the great emergency will be selected as
candidates for President and Vice President
by the Republican party. They must be
men whom we are willing to stand by to the
end, and even fall by if we must, as was the
case of Mr.. Banks, in the late contest for the
Speakership. a'''a 3'1
