The Pacific Railroad

1t seems to be an important point with
political speakers, and politicians of all the
various parties, in the present campaign, to
impress upon the minds of the people the
great necessity of a Railroad AS matter
of interest to our readers we publish there
fore, all that was said in the Messages of
Taylor and Fillmore in regard to the Pacific
Rrailroad
In his message of December 4th, 1849
Gen. Taylor wrote
"The great mineral wealth Of California,
and the advantages which its ports and
and harbors, and those of Oregon, afford to
commerce, especially with the Islands Of the
Pacific and Iudian Oceans and the populous
regions Of Eastern Asia, make it certain
that there will arise, in few years, large
and prosperous communities on our western
coast 1t, therefore, becomes important
that line of communication, the best and
most expeditions which the nature of the
country will admit, should be opened within
the territory Of the United States, from the
nayigable waters Of the Atlantic, on the
Gulf of Mexico, to the Pacific. Opinion,
as elected and expressed by two large
conventions, lately assembled at st. Louis
and Memphis, points to a Ra,irOad as that
which. if practicable, will best meet the
wishes and wants Of the country"
In his message Of December %, 1850,
Mr.. Fillmore said
"Thc IN, ,.recodenled growth of our terri
tories on the Pacific, in wealth and popula-
ton, and the consequent Increase of their
social and commercial relations with the
Atlantic States, seem to render il the duty
of the Government to use all its constitu-

Pioneer Club.

Trinity County is not behind other Counties
and portions Of the State in anything which can
advance the kindred spirit and bring about the
establishment of social order among her people
We feel proud to be able to boast of that fact and
to aid by every means in our power, in bringing
about and assisting in the continuation of such
noble objects.
A few evenings since it happened that many of
the old pioneers of Trinity County of 80 and
81 were assembled at social gathering in Wca-
yerville and then and there it was proposed to
form Pioneer Club. We heartily co-operated
in the proposition, for the same reasons which ac-
tuatcd those assembled, because we believed that
it must meet with the hearty response of every
one Of the old pioneers Of Trinity.
1t would indeed be pleasant sight to behold
at one social gathering, this band of early adven-
turcrs who first penetrated these Northern wilds
to seek fortune in these isolated hills so widely
separated from the balance of creation, and to
there sit down as one circle Of brotherhood to Il
feast of friendly recognition. The hgst assembly
as mentioned above, appointed the time for sub
scqucnt meeting at which meeting the proceed
ngs as found in another column were had, and a
committee of enrolment appointed to receive
the names of all the old pioneers of 80 and 81
in Trinity County. who desired to join the Club

Letter from Scott River.
FRENCH BAR. SCoTT RIVER,
Oct. 9Th. lSJ6,

Messrs. Edito-s:-Since my last communication
the Elk Creek excitement broke out and during
the last three days some three or four hundred
men have left the River for that place. Your hum
BILE servant intends also leaving for the scene Of
the wonderful discoveries. | cannot give you as
yet any definite information in regard to the IA
mount of gold found there, but rumor has it that
the diggngs are very rich. If it turns out true,
there is wide extent of country for mining, as
the Creek is some sixty miles in length.
Mr.. Holm started this morning with train of
groceries and provisions, and other trains have
previously left with liquors. Messrs. Rogers q
Crooks start an Express soon, by which we shall
be able to receive the JOURNAL regularly. There
will be but few men left on the river, thoug gu the
miners who have claims here are nearly all doing
well.
| will take the first opportunity to post you in
regard to the diggings when | arrive there and
learn the facts in regard to their richness and
character. Yours, PRosPECToR.

waste, which would furnish hundreds who are
now idle and out of employment, with the ele-
The time has come when those men who would
seek to recuperate their fortunes better their con-
dtions, and place themselves in competence and
ease, must drop the foolish ranting and roaming
spirit which actuated the miners, more particu-
lary of former days. Our mines are filling up
with that class Of men who prefer to labor under
an independent system, controlled by their own
will rather than remain in the old States and live
on and work on from month to month and from
year to year, for mere pittancc, and subject to
the smiles and frowns of aristocratic employers.
Hence it is that we are gaining every day in the
acquisition of that sort of mining population
which alone develop the true resources of the
country, and constitute in themselves free, hap
py and Independent people. Let the merchant
study well the nature of legitimate trade its
channel, resources and dependence Let the far
mer pay close attention to the cultivation of those
crops which are most needed, and for which he
can find ready sale at cash prices, at home, and
let the miner bring science, system, economy and
proper industry to his aid in his mining operations
and the wealth and extent of the country gives
the most positive assurance that there is wide,
