The present age does not seem to hold lite
rary pursuits in the high estimation that they
we're held at the close of the seventeenth,

ttry This may be caused by the multi
plicity Of newspapers, by the incompetent

contrcl the powerful Archmedean lever that
rnoycs the world, or by the case with which
some Of the papers are corrupted to the vile
uses of men void of honesty, aud the advo-
cacy Of unholy measures. This, we regret
70 say is generally supposed to be the case
in California, where many men who have
given ample proof Of their inability to sue
cecd in other undertakings, have seiIed up
on the press and used it in the spirit OF those
who assert that the world owes them living.
Men generated in a saw mill, who have

UNPARDoNAALE BLUNDERs.-The state
Journat is evidently posted on the wagon
road Arrangement. In their issue of Snt-
urday, they say
"A Convention for the purpose of endcaY-
orIng to construct II wagon road from the
pro- osed terminus Of the u. wagon road
in Carson Valley, to Honey Lake Valley in
Plnmus county, is called at Marysvile."
This is unpardonable. The government
road will not 90 within one hundred and tif-
ty miles of Carson Valley, if it strikes a
point, near Honey Laka, rs provided in the
bill But here is something fclicitous from
the same article:
at is suggested, that as the Carson Pass
is the only one travelled throughout the
year. the nearest to the centre OF Northern
California and the metropolis of the interior.
and the lowest in point Of attitude Of any
north Of San Bernardino, &c
We positively blush for the Journak 1t
is II notorious fact that the Carson Valley
pass is about eight thousand feet above the
level of the Sea, according to "Mr. Days
survey" while the government surveys show
that MOBILES pass" is less than FIVE thousand
feet.
Thompson, the daring expressman, has
travelled the Carson pass during the present
winter on snow shoes, but we have never
heard of its being travelled during the win
ter by animals, and never expect to hear of
it, The Honey Lake route has been travel
ed by animals the past three winters, rs the
mountain passes have repeatedly shown.
The JournH is equally mistaken about the
distance Sacramento will hardly succeed
in carrying the road through the Carson
pass, unless that city intends to bridge tue
hundred and fifty miles of sink and desert
through which the road will have to pass.
"There are shrewl men enough in our
vicinity to effect this work without calling
upon the citizens for heavy sums"
Exactly. But if you bleed the State for
n million, you will not be able to make rs
good road as nature has already left open
on the Honey Lake route.
