SACRAMENTO. Jan. /, 1S5

SACRAMENTO. Jan. |, 1851.
DEAE CRossETTE l send you some clip
pings from the State Capitol. There is an
important move on foot in a certain quarter,
to effect the removal of the Capitol of the
State to Marysville The reasons urged for
such removal are as follows The recent de-
cision of the Supreme Court on the State in
debtedness, having stopped the building of
the State House in this city, and the presa-
lent belief that the people will not be willing
to vote for any larger Indebtedness than they
are now compelled to endorse to prevent re-
pudiatiOn-it also not appearing very clear
ly where the S12 900 year is to come from
to pay the rent of the present building used
for Sta'e House, Chat | believe, is the
amount paid yearly,) the State will conse-
quently be left without place for the an
nual assembling of the Legislature in view
of which emergency. divers citizens of Ma
rysville propose to appropriate lands and
build State House thereon worth the sum
of $3.50 900, and make present of the same
to the State, provided the Legislature will
remove the Capitol to that city. What a
dust it will raise.

Applicants for Legislative office-A large
number of gentlemen are here, say five or
six from each county, willing to serve their
country, tas in duty bound, of course in
positions from sergeant Of arms, clerks, &c,
down to pages. By the way, in this eonnec-
ton | must tell you of a speculation. A cer-
tain Daguerrean artist here, who halls from
away down where they pry up the sun, is
offering ten dollars for two likenesses of each
of the above alluded to patriotic gentlemenj
one of them to be taken on or about this
time; the other Immediately after the COM
plete organization of the incoming Legisla-
ture. The likenesses are then to be suitably
arranged for exhibition. Don't you think it
will pay At all events, those ten dollars
apiece wont come amss about that time.
A happy new year to the Orovilleians-

A CONVICT BARD-R. L. D'Aumaile, the
individual who attempted to black mail Mr..
Ritter of San Francisco, awhile since and
who is now in the prison of that city, has
been writing poetry to the Builetin. We
should Judge by the poets strain, that he. is
not so much rascal from natural vicious
ness, as from sentimentality or a desire for
inglorious notoriety. The following are the
last two stanzas of his New Years Hymn:
The patter of the rain drops, the drip upon
the wall
The echoes of tho turnkeys through the de-
serted hall
The bowling of the Storm Fiend around our
prison drear-
Such are the sounds that greet US, on the
threshold of the Year
Up, comrades. then. my merry men, up,
comrades. one and all
In midnights gloom, DER old Times tomb,
we'll hold high carnival
Forgot by men, with demons, then, with
hends we'll revel here
With curses hail. since blessings fail, the
opening of the Year!
Doggerel hath no part in those verses.

Road to Cherokee.

Messrs. White s Nutter, of Oregon City,
to Cherokee via. Longs Bar and Oregon
Gulch That a direct road to Cherokee from
Oroville, is of considerable Importance, is in
disputably the fact, there being at present
no direct communication between the two
points available to teams and carriages
Without this road, and as is the case at pres
ent, the entire trade and travel from Cher
okee and vicinity, necessarily avoids Oroville
altogether, and passes by way of Pence's
Ranch to Marysville. The proposed road.
(Which has indeed been already commenced
by Messrs White & Nutter,) would place US
within eight miles of the rich and populous
mining regions of Oregon and Cherokee, and
tend to make this market for those in that
section who now do their trading in Marys-
Vile The road is in no place to be of steep
er grade than ten feet in one hundred and
twenty ,and will be easily accessible by teams
during all seasons of the year. The estma-
ted cost to build such road is twenty five
hundred dollars, two hundred dollars of
which have already been subscribed by
Messrs. White & Nutter, and about eight
hundred more by others. The interests of
the town should prompt our citizens to sub
scribe the balance of the required sum and
help to complete the road at once.

DEATH OF Mr.. SwARrwoUr.-Samue
Swartwout, formerly prominent politician
of New York, died yesterday afternoon in
this city, at the age of seventy three. In
early life he was connected for short time
with the navy. He was a steady and warm
friend of Aaron Burr. thous h not implicated
in the latters political delinquencies. He
was appointed under President Jackson, col
lector OF the port of New York, but his
term of office was cut short by an unfortu-
nate defalcation, into which he had been led
by unscrupulous men. His ardent temper
ament had induced him to enter largely in
to speculation in Texas lands, Improbable
coal mines. and various doubtful enterprises,
the CONSCIENCE of which was that he fell into
debt to the government, and was charged
with being a defaulter to the amount of over
a million. With the excep zion of year or
two in Switzerland, Mr. Swartwout has since
resided in New York, devoting himself en-
tirely to private affairs.

 The superiority of old Rock Salt for packing pork is so we'll understood by experienced persons that no argument is necessary to convince them of the f.ct There are others, however who inconsidefate ly use new T. I. Salt from which water may be pressed as f,om a sponge, the pores being full of ' bitter water causing the brine to be weak and brackish, giving the pork flavor decidedly repug- nant to the taste. No Salt is fit for packing pork unless it is dry and hard. Rock or Venezuela Salt is the best for pork First because it is made CT the equator, in latitude 9, where the water is more strongly imprt gnated with salt, and second because che action of the sun is powerful on the pans thus rendering it more dry. pure, and os greater strength and it is more free from lime than any other. Turks Island and Inagua situated about 1000 miles to the north of Venezuela in lati tude 22 and the Salt made at these islands is infa ror to that of Venezuela, because the seaFatet is strongly iinpregnated with salt, owing to the numerous which flow from the land, and the power full rains which freshen the sea, and being farther north the effect of the is not powerful These facts render it. plain even to the co,,prehen sion of child why the Salt made at Turks Island and Inayua is not strong hard as that made some ten degrees farther soNth, where pure salt ter and the extreme heat of the sun combined, pro duce more perfect article. Another proof of the correctness of the above remarks, may te found in the fact that there is shInkage of at least per cent on Turks Island and Inasra Sait After the same is raked-while the shr;nkage on Venezuela Salt is comparatively nothing, proving that the brine made of NEW Turks Island and Inagua con- tains large per centage Of brackish or bitter wa ter which possesses preserving qualities but on the contrary, injures the article intended to te sa ved
 The above remarks do not apply in fui forre 10 OLD Salt made at Turks Island Inagua, which has the advantage of age, drainage and shrinkags, Jet the Sait made at those islands with all the adv.u. tages named is greatly inferior to old Rock Salt.
