GONG AnEAD-The Secretary of the
companv-Mr Eaton, of Marysvie with c..
L. Wilson, went up on the cars yesterday to
take look at the work now progressing
upon the five miles extension which has been
put under contract. They found that the
contractors had nearly two hundred men at
work, and that they hal cleared away oh.
structions and accomplished a considerable
work at every point where deep cutting oc-
ours from the depot in Folsom to what is
termed the summit, out near the Auburn
road The mason work of the bridge is also
fairly under way, while the lumber is being
sawed for it at Puget Sound. Everything
connected with the extension appears to be
progressing as we'll as the stockholders can
reasonably wish. Some Of the leading Marys-
willie contractors have taken hold Of the work
in earnest. They see in this enterprise the
first real prospect that has ever been present
ed for connecting Marysvile with tide water

A New PARTY.

"Ihe Philadelphia Press" says the Wash
lngton Star "is busily engaged in efforts to
generate "a new party" This, from Thorn
as Jetferson's time to to-day, has been the
work of renegades and other defeated enc.
mics Of the Democracy. Who does not com.
prehend :he fact that no man faithful to the
principles of the Democratic party organi
zalion is ever engaged in such work: and
further, that it is the invariable course of
men who from disappointment or any other
sinister motive dssever their connection
with the Democracy, to seek to maintain
position in the public eye by lending them
selves to the enemies Of that party.'
The truth is, Mr. JOHN w. Forney. with
less excuse fol his tergiversation than any
other deserter from the Democracy ever had,
finds that his only remaining hope in
politics is to strengthen the hands of the Re-
publican party, and Notwithstanding his
record from the moment he entered public
life until president Buchanan declined to
make him a member of his Cabinet, he is
bold and reckless enough to play out the
game OF his Republican party hackers to the
bitter end. Fortunately his influence with
the ! emocrary of Pennsylvania is GONE
lie can not carry five hundred votes with
him. That is, of persons who supported
james Buchanan in the last Presidential
election. In week after the next Pennsvl-
vanla State election, Mr.. Fornev will be as
thoroughly and avowehlv identified with the
Republicans as David Wilmot is at this mo-
ment.' s. T. Globe.
