Condition Of the City.-The signs
of thrift are unmistakable, and ev-
erywhere hopeful talk of the future
is heard. The city has nearly re-
covered from the effects of disastrous
fires and her business men begin to
feel in easier circumstances. Conse-
quent upon easy purses is the baild-
ing Of substantial ructures.improve-
ments of streets, ready rents, and

years there has never been so few

BRoDERIcK's LAST WoRDs.-The
authenticity CT the last words lepor-
ted to have been said by. Senator
Broderick having been called in ques-
ton by some of the journals, the edi-
tor of the San Francisco Times has
procured certificates from gentlemen
in attendance upon Mr.. Broderick in
proof of the fact that such words were
used. The fact seems to be fully es-
tablished that Mr.. Broderick did say:
"They have killed me because l was
opposed to the extension of slavery
and corrupt Administration"

DENIED Senator A. G.. Brown,
of Mississippi, denies there was an
arrangement between himself and

Frank Washington andma current
through the columns of the San Fran.

Brown saysth the statement is not true
in any sense.

The Marysvile Democrat, having
taken the st. Louis correspondent OF

Nepaul Barley.-The Santa Cruz

that the barley weighs sixty pounds
to the bushel.

WdgO1 1lOdd 20 WdSH0e.-On ali
hands il is conceded that the newly
discovered mines on the other side of
the mountains are of unsurpassing
richness, and that the field for future
discoveries In the same region is large
and promising. The valleys there
away are many and rich, of the most
inviting character, and ere long viii!
be filed with hardy and industrious
population. These mines must have
an outlet to the commerce of the
world. These valleys must be con.
nected by trade with the seaboard
cities.
1t must be plain to any one con-
versant with the geography of the
country that Nevada lies on direct
line between the transmantane mines
and the centre Of commerce on this
coast. 1t is quite as plain to the hun
dreds of our citizens who have passed
the mountains to the eastward Of us
that a good wagon road from this
county to the mines and the circum.
jacent valieysis easy ofconstruction,
| that the grade to be obtained is ex-
cellent, and the probable expense but
little. Competent authority states
that at from $4,000 to $25, 1000 first
rate wagon road may be built over
the Sierras whichSw;ll make differ
ence or Two days-travelin favor of
Nevada and against Placerville from
the sink of the Humboldt Establish
these facts, and the proof is not diff
cult to be obtained, and without doubt
it is the indisputable policy of this
county to open up connection with
the new State of Nevada on the east
by means of a substantial highway at
the earliest practical moment. Be
sides the emigration which would
pour into our county to develop its
resources and augment its wealth, a
command to some extent of the trade
of the new mines and their neighbor-
ing valleys Is an object to be coveted
and worthy of an effort to gain. Es-
pecially is the proposal to open an
easy communication with the embryo
State on our east question on which
every merchant in this city should
take an active interest.
In view of the ultimate advantages
to accrue ard the almost actual me-
cessity for the road we propose that
the people of the county be not be-
hind their neighbors of Ell Dorado
and Placer. Let us petition the Leg
islature to allow the county to levy a
tax of small per centage on the dol
lar on the property of the citizens Of
the county, whose wealth. will be in
creased by the construction of the
road, to begin and complete the en-
terprize. The expense is triAing
while the benefits must be great and
lasting. We can conceive of no bet
ter investment for few dollars un-
less it be the construction Of rail-
way to Auburn, and one Of these en-
terprizes is valuable stepping stone
to the other. Give us the mountain
road and the railroad will follow.

Railroads in the United &ates.-
Slows Capitalists Guide and Railway
Annual gives the total length of rail-
way in the United States at 27,944
miles, and the total cost of the same
S365,451, ,070, of which one-third has
been wasted in construction. The
average cost per mile is given at $36.

Ne,O York Delegates.-The New
York delegates to the Charleston
Convention are thus classified by the
N. Y. Herald. At the Cincinnati
Convention it was resolved that each
state should be entitled in the
Charleston Convention to double its
number of Congressmen. Thus N.
Y. has double delegation:
