of our streets is more apparent than ever.
From their uneyennes, great pools of water
have gathered, and together with the nu-
merous stones and rubbish that have been
so long accumulating. they render the pas
sage of vehicles, particularly at night, diff
fcult, and in some places dangerous. In no
locality in the county is the attention of the
road cverseers so much needed as here. Our

road from Oroyille to Folsom, and
are pleased to see that it meets with
tie views Of some of our cotempo-
raries in Sacramento and San Fran
cisco, among which are the State
Journal and the Globe. The Marys-
vile Erpress however, seems to think
it secondary consideration to road
from that city to Benicia.
The view the Erpress takes Of the
matter may be correct as to the time
when such road will be built, but if
men of capital will but compare the
relative positions of the two places,
Marysyillc and Oroville, there is lit
tie doubt, that of the two roads, the
one to Oroyille would be their choice
in which to invest capital as specu-
lation from which they might expect
to derive sure and speedy profit.
We will admit, that until Oroyille
was called into existence by the ne
cessities of the times, the natural de-
mand of the rich mining regions that
surround her, Marysyille was certain
ly by far the most important point
north Of Sacramento, but once
firmly established as Oroville now is,
and in every way as accessible by rail-
road and otherwise as Marysville,
She must, and eventually will com
mand the attention Of capitalists who
would never entertain a solitary idea
Of investing money in such a hazard
Gus project as the long talked-of air.
castle, the Marysvillc and Benicia
Railroad.
Oroyille situated, not in the
ncighborhood OF the mines, but direct
ly in their midst, and at the head Of
navigation on Feather river, is in no
possible danger of ever being su-
pcrscded by any town which shall
ultimately spring up above her, and
is as much the great natural depot
for the North Feather country as St.
Louis is the point to which the trade
Of the North Mississippi naturally
tends.
But we doubt the correctness of
tie opinion entertained by our neigh |
Dor of the Express, that the Benicia
road will have the precedence. We
opine that the project is hardly |
thought of outside of Marysyille, and
her citizens have never given any re-
markable evidences Of their willing |
ness to spend their money for any
thing that had not the appearance of
ready and largely paying invest
ment, and left in their own hands,
we venture the assertion, that the
citizens of Marysyille will live to see
an Oroville and Folsom Railroad long
before the first rail is laid on the road
from their city to Benicia.
Marysville has long held herself
in the position of rival to Sacra-
mento, and always unwilling to unite
with ;hat city in the accomplishment
of any public work, claiming for her.
