WAGON RoADs.-Simultaneo move
ments are being made in various parts of
the State in favor of the construction
of wagon roads over the Sierras for the
benefit of immigration. Each route
has its strenuous advocates in the local
tiles to be benefited. The Shasta pa
pers present strong evidence that No
ble's pass affords better facilities for a
road than any other, being several
thousand feet less in elevation above
the level of the sea than any. Honey
Lake finds its enthusiastic advocates in
Butte, Plumas, and Yuba. The reports
concerning this route are nothing but
favorable. The Ell Dorado road has
lately been passed in stage coach, to
the infinite satisfaction of the good citi-
zens of Placerville, and complacency
of the Sacramento Union, and the mid
die portion of the State The ground
has already been broken on the Big
Tree route. and the energy displayed in
that quarter seems to indicate success.
Between the efforts put forth by the
people interested in the several routes,
one good road, at least, will be opened
to the dominions of Brigham Young.
No expenditure of money or combina-
ton of influences can turn immigration
in one channel alone. There is sure to
be, in process of time, as many roads to
the valleys on the other side of the
mountains, as the mountains themselves
will admit, OF local interests dictate.
Nevada has not bestirred herself in
favor of her own route, which, if the
representations of good and reliable men
are to be credited, is as favorable for i'm
migration as any; but portion of the
immigrants and the trade of Carson
and other valleys is bound to find our
city. The people will shortly awake to
their interests and secure the rights ma
ture is reported to have bountifully
granted them, encountered with only a
trifing outlay.

GEN. WALkER-The day of the
man of destiny is over, and the star
of his fate hath declined. Walker, the
freebooter, sustained by the unprinci-
pied men and presses of the country,
and their name is legion, has ignomin-
iously left his slaughter house of Amer
leans in Nicaragua, and seeks an asylum
in the country whose laws he has viola
ted, and whose honorable name he has
wantonly disgraced. The ill-starred
ambition of one unserupulous wretch
aided and abetted by men of like stripe,
has dug thousands of CORY graves for
misguided countrymen of ours on for
eisn soil. 1t must be a consoling rehec-
ton to many subaltern fellows of the
quill, to recall the past, read anew the
tales prepared for the credulous of
gray eyed deliverer tradition told the
natives of Central America would one
day come to their great joy and benefit,
and compare the stories of the fllibus-
ter Generals miraculous successes with
the plain unvarnished truth, which they
tortured to suit their hellish purposes.
Young America, rampant for unlawful
prey, has received a check from which
he will not soon recover. Indeed, if
the recent examples of Crabb and Wal
ker, do not operate to quiet the fever
ash spirits of the nation, and to the cred
it of the American name in the future,
then is robbing and pillage a chronic
disease of the Anglo-Saxon race, not to
be eradicated but by the letting of the
hearts blood.
1t is strange, after the ridiculous fan
faronade of Walker in the conquering
of Lower California, annexation of So
nora, and assumption of the titles of
President and General in that Quixotic
affair, that one individual could be found
so demented as to enlist under him for
Ike scenes in Central America. With
out the help of reckless or subsidized
presses his career must long ere this
have ended. They have furnished VIC
tins for slaughter, and are responsible
at the great reckoning.
The chance which was offered Walk
er of escape was for him opportune.-
Four days longer would have exhaust
ed his provisions and reduced him to
desperate straits. In the nick and
crack of time he was fortunate enough
to escape with life "a great boon to a
pirate.
1t was bad stroke of policy in the
Costa Ricans to allow so reckless man
of all law, human or divine, to escape.
They have no guarantee that he will
not muster another band for another
piratical descent. They should have
insisted on having for their own safety
the weasand of Walker.

stroyer failed to drop in upon us on the
18th. Many an eye was strained on
visiting day to catch a glimpse of the
fiery monster that was to have knocked
the world, and the appurtenances there
to belonging, or in any wise appertain-
ing, into nonentity or cooked hat, but
didn't. Some of our townies, not ad-
dicted to star gazing, or looking heaven
ward, were induced to take peep at
one of the planets and let it pass for the
comet, glad that the coin was as genu-
inc as it was and no more. Hose pipes,
stove pipes, and other hollow things,
were turned skyward in various parts of
the town, attracting little knots of men
and boys slightly interested in the per-
petuity of this sublunary scene. A wag
on Commercial street inveigled us to go
one eve on the world smasher through a
so-called telescope. He represented,
with a countenance worthy of the most
ascetic parson, that the swift winged
messenger of death was near the sun
but distinctly visible through his vii
famous tube. No glasses-we got a
binder.
Venus was plainly to be seen with
the naked eye through the day, to the
astonishment of some of the manifest
destiny race, but not the child of nature,
the untutored Digger. One of these, on
being shown the planet and informed of
the predicted conclusion, curled his lips
nncredulously, and told a knot of his
exterminators, that it was sell,-"In-
dian see him all the time"
Generally speaking, people hear Of
terrible catastrophes expected without
a serious impression Direfui forebod-
ings have been indulged in from the
earliest ages and among all nations, that
an awful calamity would shortly befal
this mundane sphere, till we have go
used to it. and treat with levity the pre-
dictions of savans. But, seriously, the
idea of going whizzing through illimit
able space attached to the tail of
comet, like bob to boys kite, is cal
eulated to produce fearful dizziness al
least. 1t isn't pleasant at all to think
of the stars flying by, like mile stones
nm a railroad, and no brakes in our pow
or to check our erratic career. For the
sake of the nervous system we are glad
the solar is not to be deranged.

Department; and NO verr pleasant developments are

The foreign appointments are still puzziug the

the President, it is very certain that tho ANNOUNCE.
