Tn IN day no more on that score.
:. a. zee wagon roads across the plains California
ms >f'y interested. Notwithstanding Buchsnans
a4wral We have no hope Of an inter-Oceanic rail
cad being commenced, much less completed under
this Administration. We begin 10 realize the fact
that cobb is President" and that the South rules.
From such men, therefore, we expect nothing and
must even be content with apsfry $500, 600 plttance
toward the improvement of a wagon road. The
road tsef is not bad it does not prevent but invites
travel The fear of Indian depredations along the
line and the want of wac. at certain stages are the
prominent if not the oniy drawbacks. Troops sta
toned and wells sunk along the line and eD1GritiOn
would pour in upOn'us 20 our hearts content.
The hay harvest is nearly over, end the barley and
wheat hsrvests have commenced in earnest In con-
sequence Of the want Of ran,' the yield Of any of
these crops will got exceed twO.hftbs Of former
years. The potato CROP as usual Is excellent, and
is much moro extensive than heretofore. New
wheat, new barley and new potatoes are plenty in
market. Indeed, the latter have been for the past
tire" weeks. Cherries, strawberries, apples (irom
Child asd all the smaller fruits are for sale every
where IN ample supply.
Ex.G0e. Biger the newly appointed Minister to
Chilli came home by the last steamer. Unless per-
INIT efkave shall be- forwarded to him, he will, with
his family Consisting Of has wife and one daughter
ofl6 years., leave for Panama by the steamer Of
the Goth inst, and thence by the British steamer to
Valparaiso. He would like 10 remain till after the
Democratic State Convention, and bis friends would
like to have him do So but that they afraid his
gard for Broderick would cause him to oppose Well
Ter, and thus give ofense to the Administration.
The war Of the roses wakes warm. The great
unttrrfed or wonderfully harmonious, are not
united on any thing and especially are they divided
on men. Weller has become BY common consent,
the champion of the "Chivs." He has made
brilliant charge on the BrOderick ranks. He has
thrown them into confusion, and they appear much
dismayed. His name has been flung out as candi-
date for Governor by The San Francisco Globe,
PidcerrWe Democrat Ell Dorado, Sonora Democrat,
TuOlumne, Columbia Gazette, Tuoumne, Iona Hill
Ne,cs. Placer, and by The Stockton Republican.
Two weeks since the Frederick men were growing
over their anticipated victory, but now they have
ceased to talk and have gone to work to prevent de-
feat. The State Convention is called to meet in
this city on the l4th July and unless great changes
take place between this time and that the Chivalry
will have it all their own way in that body. You
may judge of the fix in which the BrOderick men
are when tell you that knOp that the order has
gone forth to the BrOderck men to sell out the
county nominations in every county where it is
necessary to do SO to secure a delegation to the
State Convention. They determined to carry
the State Convention at any cOst-to give up
the Offices in every county in the State
for it, and that is the only means by which
the BrOderick men can hope TO win. 1t may sue
coed, but do not think it will The Chivs" will
have the Convention, and Weller will be nominated;
but if he does not get il, and either McCOrkle or
COnness be nominated, then will we have, it is be-
lieved, two Democratic. tickets. COnness voted
against the Nebraska resolutions while in the Legis
ature, and McCOrkle applauded him for it; so that
the "Chvs" can never support either of thein
They the candidates and the only candidates for
Governor on the BrOderick FreeSOil wing Of the
California Democracy. If, however, Weller shall
carry the Convention, there will be no open split
Many Of the BrOderickites will quietly vote the Re-
publican ticket, while the great majority will be
whipped like spaniels into the traces, and by virtue
of good fOggng every now and then will be kept
there. They are dOughGces Of the most contempt
ibc kind. They have neither soul, nor mind,
nor courage; they are political slaves, and
ale fit for nothing else. BrOderick himself
dare do anything, and he admires those who
know they have rights and dare maintain them. He
abhOrs and from the bottom of his soul despses the
cringing fawning hounds that turn to lick the hand
that smites them, as many OF his followers have
done and will again do He himself, / understand,
has said that under no circumstances whatsOeyer
will be support John b. Weller for Governor, for
any other position at the hands Of this people. If
he can induce any respectable number Of the Free
Soil Democrats to make nomination in opposition
to Weller SHOULD he get the Endorsement of the
COnyentOn), separate ticket will be made, but
that will not prevent Weller's election. The only
Soil Democracy to go where they naturally belong
into the ranks of the Republicans
The Republican State Convention will be held on
the 9Th of July, one week from the Democratic.
The Hon. Edword Stanlep, formerly OF North Csro-
lima, OR +. T. Tracy, or Col. l.. ID. Baker will be
their nominee for Governor. The Republicans do
not expect to elect this year, but they will increase
their vote to between ZOO AID 1000, nearly
double it. The American party has fiZzed out; yet
of those who belonged to it are attempting to
get upa Peoples party, to run Watkins of Viz
ginia for Governor. They cannot do much, as Wet
kns says be will not rim against Weller. Hence,
for this and other reasons these who lately were
Know -Nothings going into the Democratic
ranks and working for Weller. Drexel Sather a

of Sacramento as agents TO pay the interest on our
| city bonds falling due in New-york in July next.
The whole amount is abOu. $70, 900. Wells, Fargo
& Co. were first chosen, hat that action recon-
sidered and the above ERIE Observation-Disclosures it

imagine; but then blow nothing of Mint matters,
