him to let go of his horse. Grow, however,
insisted that Montgomery intended to run
over him, and drawing his revolver. shot
Montgomery in the forehead, killing him in

jsOlIfe TO Utah.

A writer in the San Francisco Herald,
arguing in favor of Mobiles Pass, as being
the best route for an army to enter Utah,
says:
"The distance from Marysville to the Las.
sen Meadow on the Humboldt river by way
Of Mobiles Pass, is about $50 miles, and
ittle or no sand road. The distance from
Sacramsnto to the same point, by the Car
son route, 4l5 miles, making "A difference of
65 miles in favor of the Mobiles Pass route -
The writer has overestimated the dis
tance from Marysville to Lassen's Meadow
on Humbold The distance ne stated may
be correct. rOnning around by Fort Reading;
but the actual distance between the two
first points mentioned is but 90 miles, with
good natural stage road from Marysville
to Honey Lake. The effoftsof the press ia
voring the CarsOn.route, have seen stnli-
ously directed to deception OF the pnblc in
this respect, by quoting tho survey Of Lieut.
Beck with, which goes to Fort Reading, and
thence down the valley. A gross impos-
ton is thus practiced upon the public, but
it is the only manner in which those local
organs could establish the superiority of
their fayorite route. and they have persist
emily applied the deception.
We are pleosed to see dsinterested and
high toned press in San Francesca agitating
this subject, and trust that it may continue
until the deception and ckicanery that has
been practiced upon the public, and upon
the authorities at Washington, has been ex-
posed, and the shortest, best and most elgi-

PROSPECTUS OF THE WAdBINGTON
AMERICAN.

We can hardly think it necessary to arge
upon those who hold that Americans ought to
,uIe America, the importance Of having paper
at the seat Of the Federal Government, which
shall enunciate and advocate the doctrines oi
the American party.
A paper issued from any Of the grlt centres
of nation, but especially from VII political
Metropolis, in the present age, in this
country only, but in Great Britain, hnce, and
wherever there is the least freedom q. discus
sion, is medium through which, thpse hold
ing similar sentiments in regard 10 public af.
fairs and public policy, may make known, dis.
cuss and defend their views, and expose the
impropriety fthe principles and the impolcy
of the measures of their antagonists. 1t should
earnestly labor to give proper direction to
public opinion by enlightening t6e public
mind.
The AMERICAN is the only paper published
at the seat of the Federal Government which
advocates american doctrines; the only SEN
tinel of the party stationed where near and
clear view can be had of the movements and
doings oftheir opponents at their headquarters.
Here political information concentrates, and
from hence it radiates to every part Of the em.
pire here party measures and movements are
determined, and political campaigns planned
here stratagems are concocted and thwarted
and here at certain seasons of the year politi
clans most do congregate; here, in short, is
the centre of the great political maelstrom in
which so many thousands are constantly olung.
ing and forever gyrating.
Ifthe American party is desirous of being q
paper here through which it can make known
to all people its views, aims and opinions. and
which shall also refute the calumnies that arc
from time to time uttered against II through
ignorance or less excusable motive; and we
therefore, take hope that the AMERICAN, stand
ing, as it will stand, upon the platform of the
american party, advocating, as it will advo.
cate, the paramount rights of native born citi.
zens, eschewing, as it will eschew, all interfer.
ence with slavery as national concern, and
maintaining, as it will maintain, perfect free.
