OVERLAND STAGE TRAVEL TO CALIFORNIA.

OVERLAND STAGE TRAVEL TO CALIFORNIA.
From the 81. Louis Erening Ne,cs.
The overland Nail Transportation from Missouri
to California, will be commenced by Butterfeld &
Co., on the 18th of September, only three weeks Off
The Inauguration of this great work is more i'm
portant than any event that has occurred in the
West since the discovery of California. Its result
will be to people the Plains and Mountain Val
leys that stretch the Continent and unite the
populations of the Pacific coast and of the Missis-
sppi Valley by one continuous settlement of hardy
American settlers.
Along line of weekly stage travel thronr of
enterprising pioneers will assuredly follow. Our
stage stands will be established. and each one will
be the necleus of village, which will gather around
it small farmers stock growers and traders who
will live by supplying the wants of the Stage Com
panies, their employees and their passengers These
communities will then be sclt-protecting; and they
will establish a continuous belt of secure territory
across the plains and mountains, sufficient to guar
antee entire safety to solitary travel along the
route In three years time we expect to find it
possible for any man to take his twohorse wagon
and set off on drive to the Rocky Mountains or to
California with much certainty of sleeping every
night under roof, and bed, if he desires it. as
he now has in starting on trip to Springfield or
Neosho in South west Missouri.
We believe that six of the wagons, designed for
use by Butterfied d Co., between st. Louis and
San Francisco, have been received at their Eastern
terminus. These wagons made at Concord
n. ii. They are lighter than our common STAGE
coaches; they have heavy canvas coverings and are
calculated to carry from eight to ten passengers
twenty additional wagons will be completed and
dispatched by the manufacturers in a few days

TIE PARAGUAY EXPEDITION.

Paraguay affairs have claimed more or less Of the
public attention since the adjournment of Congress-
and the name Of Captain Thomas j. Page has gene
rally been associated with them the probable
commanding officer of the expedition in prcpa-
ration for La Plata. 1t was therefore with some
surprise that his many friends learned that Commo-
dore Shubrck had been assigned to the command of
the Brazil squadron, and that the Paraguay fleet
would form part of it, We are glad to know,
however, that the most cordial feelings exist between
the distinguished officer selected flag officer of the
squadron and Captain Page, who will occupy the
responsible post of fleet captain, and that the
position assigned each of them by the department
is entirely agreeable to both.
1t has been deemed sound policy to greatly aug
ment the naval force to be sent upon this expcdi-
ton, that the demonstration may be as imposing as
possible; and, that nothing may be wanting to pro-
duce the desired moral effect by the appearance of
the expedition in that part Of South America, it
has been deemed advisable to place it under the
command of the senior officer of the navy-a man
who unites to his high position all the personal
qualifications essential for such service. CAPTAIN
Page is assigned to the post of flag captain bv the
selection of the Secretary of the Navy, and at the
expressed desire of Commodore Shubrick Nothing
could furnish better evidence ofthe high apprccia-
ton in which his services held by these distn-
guished gentlemen Wash. Urion

The CHESAPEAKE AND Ono CANAL.-The Collect
or's reports for the month just concluded show re-
ceipts for tolls amounting to upwards OF So, ,OOO
and although this exhibits large increase over pre-
vious months, and perhaps greater than ever be-
fore for any month. vet it is approximate only
to the income that will in all human probability be
realized the coming year. This increase is due to
the trade in coal, the produce of the MARYLAND
mines, which has been received and shipped in such
large quantities. Vessels scarce at Georgetown
and Alexandria, and are much wanted for Eastern
ports. engagements are making for New York at
ST. 80 per ton; for Boston 81 80; for Providence 81
80; for Albany Sl.75, and for other ports in pro
portion. Flour pays % cents per barrel to Boston
and 20 cents to New York. 1t NAV also be
noticed in this connection that vessels arriving at
and clearing from Georgetown or other District
ports are not subjected to quarantine charges or
port expenses, such harbor masters fees ballast
wharfage, search fees, or commissions. In view OF
the well-establshed flour and grain trade, the Ger
tanty OF the completion of Dams Nos ana on tiie
canal, and the just confidence in the pcrmahehcV Oh
the coal trade to an mostunimlted extent, must
be obvious that there is little or no extravaganza
in the expectation that Georgetown at the mead "t
tide-water will some day be to the United states
what Newcastle is to England. The Board of Di-
rectors meet on Friday at Berkeley Springs, in
regular monthly meeting.-Ndt. hHehge"cer

FARMING IN GERMANY.-An American travelling
in Germany says the road from Berlin to Leipsic
passes through beautiful and highly cultivated
country. The land is generally titled by small
farmers, who either own or rent it. The principal
crops are rye and potatoes, and indeed these may
be said to be the staff and almost sole support of the
peasantry. Occasionally, one is whirled along
at the rate of twenty-five miles per hour, never
faster, patch of barley, rape seed or millet or
mustard may be seen, but potatoes and rye are as
seven to one. The land is cultivated in long, mar
strips, and the eye rests upon the landscape
with its diversified colors, the dark green of the
potatoes, the bright golden of the rye, (now in
ear the yellow flower of the mustard and the
pale pinkred of the rape, the effect is beauti

radiance of warm July sun, it looks like a carpet
