The GLASS MNE-A short time ago, says
the San Francisco Herald, we related the fact
of the existence of mountain of glass, near
Napa, and owned by "Old Major Stirling" !"
we have now the qualification of announcing,
that it has been thoroughly tested and found
to be exactly what we represented, viz glass,
and not obsidian, despite the wiseacre contra
diction of a weekly paper. Major Stirling has
already received an order for one hundred tons
of this material from one of our heavy mer-
camille firms, and has been offered large sum
for his "glass claim" which he refused.

FREIeHTING TO THE INTERIoR-At no time
within the last five years, says the San Joaquin
Republican, have such immense quantities of
merchandise been forwarded into the Southern
mines, as at present. A passenger from So
nora, yesterday, informs us that he counted
between Knights Ferry and Stockton, no less
than one hundred and five teams, each wagon
or wagons, drawn by from four to ten mules
or horses. OF this number, seventy-five were
going into the INTERIOR and thirty coming to
the city. The number of wagons at this time
going to and returning from the various camps
in Mariposa and Calaveras counties is sprobaby
as great as on the other alluded to-

The Democrat says, 1.-The Free State
citizens Of Kansas have gained their de-
sired objec, with but trifing opposition >"
Is this soy They had the obnoxious
laws Of the bogus legislature against
them. The Democratic officers had out
rageously gerrymandered the whole terri
sorv, so much SO that even Gov. Walker
could not but declare it outrageous; and
then Gov. Walker compelled the U. s.
troops to vote the slave state ticket, al
though the law of congress is plainly
against their voting; and, above all, a set
of pro- slavery officials control the whole
concern, and could and did stuff the bal
lot boxes to their hearts content
Besides, large numbers of Missourians
voted at this election, though not as ma
ny as formerly. And all this the Demo
erat calls "triaing opposition.
1t also says that the Republicans do
not rejoice over the result in Kansas
We can say that We prefer to wait till
we arc ''oat of the woods" before We re-
joice. We fear that Notwithstanding the
large majority of the Free State men,
their opponents, the pro-slavery Demo
Gratis, will, by some unlawful means, Sc
cure a majority in the legislature; ano if
they once get it, they will keep it, no
matter what frauds have been perpetrat
ted to sccureit The Democrat may res
assured that we will rejoice, with great
joy, when the Free State men get the
legislature; and We hope the Democrat
will not rejoice but speak out its honest
sentiments, if the pro-slavery democratic
Office holders should give the power to
the "National Democracy 1t says far
Their, "The Democracy can justly exult
over the result in Kansas" How does
this place the Democracy? They arc re-
joicing over their own defeat, for even
the Democrat will not dare deny that the
only opponents Of the Free State men
were the National Democracy Gov.
Walker speaks Of the pro-slavery men as
sour party" We hope the Democrat
will no more accuse the Republicans Of
"shrieking over Kansas" when it rejeic-
es over the defeat Of its own party in
Kansas. When we ascertain that the
Free State men have succeeded, we shall
be most happy to unite with our Demo-
cratic friends 10 rejoicing. But We fear
they will be nor est.

uN-Wc see that Writ Trimble is wri-
ting a book to be entitled "The Iowa
Regulators in 1857" which is to be pub
lished at Cedar Rapids We know not
what facilities Mr.. T. may have for as
certaning the facts which should appear
in such work, but believe that il all
the facts could be plainly stated, the pub
lie would look upon the matter in diff
erent light from what they now do No,
that We justify their proceedings, but we
do say, that if there can be any excuse
for summary justice, that excuse existed
in our county last sammer. We hope
and believe no more such scenes will be
enacted; but, at the same time, we be-
lievc that If a man IS caught stealing a
horse, or Reeiug with stolen one, that
he will receive cold lead enough to stop
him from stealing any more. When the
book is published, we hope to get an
early copy, aud will give our candid opin-
ion in regard to it. We fear it will be
. one-sided affair.

The Crat Western Rail Rad.

NC NiCuA "cSSCuu ANdfA hSouVs
We have had the pleasure of reading
a recent letter from Gen. Stewart, Pres
ident of the G.. w. X. X. Company, and
as it concerns us all we will give some Of
the information which it contains.
The Gen. states that he can make an
arrangement to use the track of the c. l.
a. N. II. r. to the Wspsie, provided they
are allowed to connect with the Ca
mancle, Albany and. Mendoza Railroad at
their own expense, on the east side Of
of the Mississippi. We think the G. A.
ana NJ. II. r. Ca. will not object to this,
rs it would add to the business of their
Road The General has been untiriug
in bis efforts to induce eastern capitalists
to invest in the Road, aud feels confident
that he will very soon be enabled to con-
clude contract with the gentlemen and
some of their friends who were here last
June, for the speedy construction of G. A..
and NJ. r. X aud if that is accomplish
ed they will also lake hold of this Road,
for they will need this Road as feeder,
and will undoubtly build it.
If these individuals take hold Of this
Road, it will, as We understand, be upon
these conditions: They will require, for
grading and bridging, one-fourth cash;
one-half they will take in good, secured
bonds, payable in ten years, at ten per
cent interest; and will take one-fourth
stock, which will enable the Company to
use whatever county bonds may be is
sued to them; and first, mortgage bonds,
to buy the iron and rolling stock.
There is to be meeting of the Exec
utive Committee of the G. w. at Canaan
che, on the 10Th inst, when it is hoped
to conclude the arrangements with the c.
I. and n II. r. aud eastern capitalists.
Let US hope, as General Stewart says,
that amid all the gloom and darkness, we
can see light ahead.

DO not deny but what he took the money,

that the money was in the pockets of
Chase and Gibson, and he made some be-

voted for Payne, as did also the grea,

now but two parties in Ohio, and the Re-

rest easy: thinking that their success is
sure, and stay at home as they did at the
