erick, inst elected U. 5. Senator by the Dem
ocraic Legislature of California, is graduate
of New York stone cutters yard and Tam
many Hall-a rough and hardy specimen OF
American institutions. In the conflicts among
the California democracy, in which he has been
an active leader for some years, he has repre-
senied the free state or free soil wing as against
the southern and pro slavery section. He is
accredited with valuable and successful exer-
tions to break up the scheme formed several
years ago to divide California into two States.
The lower of which should recognize slavery,
and also with having often and effectively rails
ed his voice in the California Legislature
against the assumptions of the slavery party.
We do not see these facts placed to his credit
by the Democratic Journals this side the noun
taius, either North or South, but they are more
to his honor than even his rapid rise from hum
he position and poverty to high station and
great influence. and render his election sub.
ject of sincere generalization among other par
lies than his own. 1t will be something new
and refreshing to see Representative from
California at Washington, who is anything 9th
err than ready instrument for the work of the
slavery interest. We hope Mr.. Broderick has
not left his an,i.slavery principles behind him
he will find occasion enough for them in this
new field Of labor.
In the legislative caucus OF his party, Mr.
Brodcrick was nominated by IS votes to 80 for
Col. Weller, the present Senator, whose place
he takes. For the other Senatorship, the con
lest was between Latham and Dr. Gwin, the
latter succeeding by the help of Mr. Brodercb
on terms already noticed. The Republican:

THE BLUE RIDGE RAILROAD.

A meeting of the Directors was held in
Charleston OH Monday the 26th uit.
1t appears that the Board of Directors in con.
sequence Of the insufficcncy Of the p Mt
means of the Company, to continue all til York
under contract, had resolved to susp. ID the
work west of Pendlelon, and apply their present
South Carolina and Georgia.
The act of the Legislature, granting MD to
this Company, directs that the Comptroller, in
behalf Of the State, shall subscribe five hundred
thousand dollars, whenever the Company should
raise by corporation or private subscription, on e
million Of dollars, und when tile further sum Of
five hundred thousand dollars should be raised
by the Company, then the State should subscribe
another five hundred thousand, thus making the
subscription Of the State contingent upon the
amount Of private stock taken. The first sum of
one million Of private subscription has been made
and the first instament, five hundred thousand
dollars of State stock. secured.
The Company has yet failed to raise the
additional five hundred thousand necessary to
secure the second nstalnent Of the State sub.
scrption for the same amount Tie Company ia
wanting but about two hundred and twenty
thousand dollars to the second instaIlme ent
of the Stale subscription.
Messrs WILLIAM and JOHN T. SLOAN, of An.
derson, have made proposition TO the Board of
Directors, TO ruise in Anderson and along the
line OF the Road. seventy thousand dollars of
this cum if the people of Charleston would un-
dcrtuke TO raise the balance-one hundred and
fifty thousand dollars. The meeting of tile
Board was called by the President to consider
this proposition.
We earnestly hope that the amount may be
raised to secure the State subscription, and thus
enable the Company 10 resume the contract, now
suspended.
We regret the present embarrassment which
has made it necessary that any portion of the
work should be suspended. 1t is KIN own that it
will require from three to five years to finish the
Stump House Tunnel, and that the Road eyond
the Tunnel. even If the grading was done and
timbcrs laid, would be useless until the Tunnel
was finished. This fact 10 doubt, has done
more to fuspend the contracts for grading, &C.,
than the wunt Of resources. It would certainly
DC unwise, even with ample meaus, to pay for
grading and tmbers now, which could not be
used for four years TO come.

THE DEATH OF HON p g. BROOKS

Ere this, the unwelcome intelligence of tho
demise of our immediate Representative, will
have reached the public ear, and set gloom of
sorrow in tho hearts Of an admiring con,titu.
ency.
The Washington Evening Star thus speaks of
the sensation his death produced ut the National
Capitol:
Instantly utter tho snd event took place il
was known over tho city, and the hals of tho
hotel were crowded with inquiring aud sorrow
stricken citizens und strangers. We never before
Knew such an event to give rise to such wide
sprend real grief as wns manifested in this COM
munity on that occasion. No man ever IN Con-
gress has been more universally and sincerely
beloved here, for other has been endowed
with nobler nature or more lovabie traits of
character! The heart felt grief manifested last
night by so many men of all parties of high iu-
telIigenc", all of whom knew him well person
ally afiixes the stamp Of falsehood to the parti.
san ISLANDERS concerning him. with which so large
portion of the Northern press has tec,ned, for
political effect, for n year past. If ever death
touched the heart Of this com,nunity-of all cIas
ses nnd parties congrcgnted in the Federal me
tr"po'is-it 10 Ill this case. That Of Preston s
Brooks is mourned n,ournctl, mourned"
The same paper Of the 2sth, in alIuding to the
ceremonies performed over the remains of the
deceased, has the following:
AT m enrly hour day il became apparent
that, notwithstanding the state of the weather,
the ceremonies to be pei formed Mt the Capitol
over the remains Of the late Preston S. Brooks
were 10 be attended by nm immense throng of ci
tizens and stangers of all degrees and positions in
society. Long before the two Houses met, the
galleries, rotunda and avenues leading to the two
chambers of Congress were almost blocked up by
The living mass thus attracted into the Capitol
building.
The delivery ofthe cnlogy pronounced by Mr..
Ioombs in the Senate chamber was cut short by
the state of his feelings, which SO ovorcamc him
rs that he took his seat in the middle of tho dis
course he designed speaking.
The cul"gies delivered in the House were able
aud eloquent efforts indeed. An ulIusiom to the
affair i'll the Senate chamber between the de-

manifestation of much excitement, and 10 no it,
