WAGON Road Over the mountains.

The subject of constructing wagon roads
over the Sierra Nevada Mountains, is agita-
ted by number of the papers-the rival
routes to Carson Valley just now appearing
to be that through Placerylle via, Johnson's
Cutoff, and the route from Murphy's Camp
in Calayeras The Sacramento Union calls
on us for information relative to the feasibi-
ity of cutting road from Volcano, via
West Point, to intersect the latter. Next
week we hope to be able to furnish reliable
information as to distances, &c, &c, bnt are
not able to do so at the present time. Our
impression is, however, and it is well groun-
ded that an excellent natural road may be
found from Volcano direct to the head OF the
Canon. on the eastern slope Of the mountains,
which leads into Carson Valley by the Muir
phys Camp route If this be so, the near
est rout from Sacramento to Carson Valley
will be through Volcano, being very nearly
il not exactly an air line.
