NEVADA CALIFORNIA WEDNESDAY MORNING. AUGUST 49, 1857
The Overland Mall.

As a sufficient answer TO all the nonsense
which is being circulated by some of the news
papers in this State, in relation to the choice of
the overland mail route havin. been made in
pursuance of sectional purposes, we copy the
following from that able and stauneh old Whig
journal, the Philadelphia North american and D.
S. GOzette. 1t proves that the present course Of
the Administration was approved in advance
by sensible men of opposite political views:
We published = few days since the bids OF va
rious parties iOr the contract to carry the ina Is
between California AID the West 10y the over
laad route, These BIDS were offered in compll-
ance with Official advertisement, uuder the act
passed by tue last Congress making an appro-
priatIon 10 establish aud carry al this mail iine.
Our in Orlnatl0n was obtained from the Wash
ington Ullon, Which is The ottic a organ OF the
Administrator. Hence the facts are authentic,
AID the matter is at length Assuming that prac-
teal shape which the country has for years past
so earnestly desired The parties who have
givel In their proposals seem tU be substau tial
ari reliable, aud no doubt, whichever may b.
the successful competitor, the work Will be
thoroughly done. NoLliag now remans hut
for the Post Oiice Department 10 make its d.
cis0A. To that the country is looking with
much Anxiety, as great Interests are at stake,
aid t WILL d pend very much Oh that determi-
mai on whether the road shall he as fully useful
TO all parts of tue country. as it was originally
desigu,d, OF be reduced 10 mere comparative
benefit. .Ft t.L
Whatever the decision may be we rejoice that
the wishes of the national Administration have
been already expressed broadly in the offca
organ, in ia>Or of the great central route west
ward from ST. Louis, along the Missouri river
to The iroltler of Kansas, aud westward through
the latter territory, to New Mex CO, across tht
palms. aud there's overland to California hy The
lila ronte We would have preferred the lii {
hy the South Pass OF the Rocky Mountains anC
the Salt Lake. Bat We are aware that the state
of rebellion existing in Utah. AID lh4 preda
tons constantly practscd by the Mormons
would render that route very unsafe for valuable
mails and equally so for emgrants. Until tina
trouble can he overcome the route is impracti
cable and must he abandoned. That it vii
eventually be the grand main line Of travel he
tween the East aud West coasts. we think ind 8
patahle. But at present the one we have ind.
Gated above must be preferred. and we hope tC
see it adopted hy the Administration.

DISTRIBUTION OF THE spous.-A good deal @

DISTRIBUTION OF THE SPous.-A good deal Of
sensation has been created in political circles
at Washington, by the publication OF tables
showing the present distribution of the Federal
patronage. From these tables it appears that
the ''spois" are now distributed so az to give
to the States which voted against Mr.. Buchanan
nearly Sl25,0OO more patronage tha those
which supported him; aid that the North re-
caives nearly $1,000 600 more spoils than the
South. The State which receives the most is
New York which gets 81 033 $50; next comes
California. VIII 'ch receives $3.50 l89; then Penn
sylvan'a. S444 939: then the District Of COlusn-
b a, S409 $40. Massachusetts, receives S372 1884,
being SlZ00 600 more than Virginia, which gets
S252o9l. Ohio has Sll6l34. while Georgia
has only $s5 POI. New Hampshire gets Sl0S,-
200. while North Carolina gets only $65 900.

Ii the meal has been recent aud hearty, the ar

supposed that tine girl went TO sleep with a

the flames were in some way communicated TO

The bed upoI which she slept was composed
OF straw and feather bedding, and the Usual bod
clothes. These were found nearly consumed.
AID portions Of The bcdstead were burned to
coal. AS the smoke cleared away, the body Of
the poor girl was :ound lying across the foot oil

PARTIzAN HIsToRY.-A king Of France, after
battle III which he was wounded. call, d his
generals to his bedside, TO hear what had occurr-
ed after he had left the field; aud as no two
could agree in any one statement, the king,
struck with the difilculty, exclaimed: "What
then is historyW "Give me my liar" said
Charles ", when he called for a volume of his
tory; and certainly no one caa attentively ex-
anime any one important period of our annals
without remarking that almost etery incident
admits OF two handles. almost every character
of two interpretations; also. that by q judicious
pack ng of facts the historian may make bis
picture assume nearly what form he pleases,
without any direct violation of truth.
But history does teen with falshoods and per-
versions. Take two instances In the history of
England, as now taught in our schools We are
positively told that Joan of Arc was burnt 10y
the English at Rouen in 1881; when it has been
ncontrovertably established, by ancient ar
chives of that city, that oil the first of August,
l439. the council Of the city of Roueu made her
gift of 2l0 livres. for services rendered by her
at the siege Of the said city. So that the burn
ing Of J0au is myth, invented by the French
TO blacken the English character, and transfer
red TO our history as a fac by those authors who
too credulously relied on French chroniclers.
Again, Richard LII. has been held up to uni
versal exrcratiOn as a crooked backed monster;
whereas Stow, whp was born forty years after
Richards deaih. and had conversed with many
who had seen the king declares THAT he could
find no such deformiiy in King Richard Ill. as
his historians commonly relate; on the contrary,
he was OF bodily shape comely enough only Of
low stature" In fact, all modern research has
proved that 'chard was neither that deformed
person nor that monster of cruelty and impiety
which he has been represented by our so calld
historians No character in English history has
been more m'srepresentcd; and could the shade
of the last Plantagenet rise from its grave. it
would blush to find the name of r chard III. in
the sam" book as those of the Stewarts and
George w. But success often lays the founda-
tion Of good reputation with posterity.
