GETTING ALONG WITHOUT MONEY 1t is a curious
fact that the manual labor performed on the Pla-
cerville and Salt Lake telegraph line, more than
forty miles of which is already finished, has been
done, and is being done, by men who work at fair
wages and take their pay in stock. The steamboats,
carry the wire from San Francisco to Sacramento
on an unlimited credit, and will probably take pay
in stock. The teamsters haul to its destination, and
take pay in stock; the workmen put it up and
take pay in stock; the grocers of Placervile fur
nish provisions and take pay in stock and thus the
people, the hard-fsted, the bone and snew Of the
land, become directly interested in this great
enterprise. The masses have taken hold sof it
and exhibit their faith in the enterprise by their
deeds. Capital is wanted to purchase wire, and, it
may be, to buy poles also and it is reasonable to
expect that with proper efforts the part of the
directors that will not be wanting

FROM THE KANSAS GOLD MNEs.-A correspondent
of the Cincinnati Gazette says the news is
aging Mr.. Robinson who went to Pixies Peak in
May last, returns with $4,000 in dust. Wagons
pass through Marysville every day.
Gold has been discovered in the tributaries of the
Medicine Bow, and is found in nearly all of the
streams which have their source in the mountains,
extending over a vast scope of country aftording
plenty of room for a hundred thousand miners.
Old Californians represent the country in the Vi
cinity of Pixies Peak and Cherry Creek similar
to Grass Valley, in California.
The gold excitement increases, and the opening
OF spring will present an emigration Westward, to
the new Eldorado never yet equalled in the history
of gold discovery-even surprising that to Cali
forGia.
WIsCoNsIN.-Itis is seriously proposed in Wiscon-
sin to make the State responsible for debts to the
amount of 81, ,265, ,000 incurred by cities, towns,
counties and individuals for Railroads. The Wis
cOnsin has the following article upon the subject:
'Ihis is destined to be the leading question in our
State politics for the next year. 1t is not, and
should not be rendered party issue, for the
that it more deeply interests the veal of the whole
State than any other measure that has been proposed
since the formation of our State Constitution.
The mere submission to the people will undOubt-
edly be carried, but whether the people will
ton it, is question that is to be tested at the polls.
