re- The Grass Valley National learns
that the people of Auburn are becoming
wonderfully excited about the Improbable
ties of their being able to get railroad
constructed from Folsom or some other point
on the Central Railroad"
The National man las been steamboat
ed;" the people Of Auburn are in no wise
alarmed. They expect to have railroad IN
good time.
AS the National appears anxious that
Grass Valley should have Railroad con-
nection, we suggest that such can only be
effected bv wav of Auburn. If Grass Val
ley eper gets Railroad BY any other route
the National can take our old sombrero or
new one, with the gloss on, if preferred.

AN ANCIENT ADvERTIsEMENT.-The fol
lowing advertisement was extracted from the
Boston Evening Post of November, 9TH,
174S:
"Choice Pennsylvania Tobacco Paper to
be sold by the publishers of this paper, at
the Heart and Crown-where also may be
had the BULLS of indulgence of the present
Pope Urban VIII, either by the single bull,
quire, or ream at much cheaper rate than
they can be purchased of the French or
Spanish priests, and yet will be warranted
to be of the same advantage to the possess
ors"
These bulls or indulgences of the Pope
were printed on one side of small sheet;
several bales of them were taken in Span
sh ship, captured by an English cruiser and
sent into Boston. Fleet, the publisher of
the Post purchased very large quantity at
very low price, and printed various edi-
tons of ballads on the backs of them.
One side of the sheet was blank, and the pa
per very good; one bull answered for two
half sheet ballads or songs, such as "Black
Eyed Susan" &c.

Chinese Opinion of the Battle of the Peiho.
A correspondent of the Boston Traveller,
who was present at The unfortunate battle at
the mouth of the Peiho river, writes
have the means of knowing that the
Chinese officials of the highest rank in this
Province are alarmed by their own success,
and were anxious when they saw tho allied
fleet weighing anchor, and all the vessels
steaming or sailing away for Shanghai, and
the minister with them. They cannot be ig
norant that revenge, if possible, follows de-
feat, and that the wounded pride of England
AMI France (though as Judge, France cares
but little about matters here) will probably
be satisfied with nothing short Of an attempt
to dictate the terms of peace under the En-
glish ensign planted in Pekin. The Govern
or-GeneraI, on recent public occasion, as
sured our Minister Of their entire willingness
that he should proceed to Pekin according to
the provisions of the treaty, while they were
ready to provide conveyances and accommo-
dations to the most ample extent and Of the
most honorable character. At the same
time he was info,me that foreign ships of
war could not be allowed to ascend the Pei
ho, exclusion being necessary for the protec
ton of the capital and the safety Of the En-
pire The Governor General asserted, with
the utmost seriousness that if the English
Minister had not been precipitate and head
strong, negotiations might have been opened
and all the difficulties easily as well as salts
factorily adjusted.

Another Expedition to the Arctic Region.

The British journals are urging again the
Importance of sending out another expedl-
ton to the Arctic regions, with the hope OF
finding some Of the survivors OF the lost ex-
porer, Sir John Franklin. Two millions of
dollars have already been expended in ma
king searches, and it is strong evidence OF
the generous feeling inspiring the people of
England, when they contemplate to make an
other effort to rescue any person who may
have survived the persons now known to
have persisted in their efforts to add to our
treasures of geographical science. 1t is pos
sible that amid the frozen SHOWS of the North
some band of struggling adventures may
yet be hoping that the bright world beyond
them is not unmindfu of the possibility of
their existence, and thus that they keep their
hearts warm with the anticipations of some
day returning to the regions of civilized life.
summer land search up Great Fish river
has been proposed as one that would be de-
void of danger, and less expensive than
any other, while there is reason to hope that
some of the one hundred and five persons
who had gone beyond the traces of the last
searchers may be discovered. The spirit and
enterprise which characterize the British ma
ton will probably not be satisfied with dis
cussing this matter, but capital will be boun-
utully applied to the effort to recover those
whose tale of adventure and stores of mar
rative may amply repay the whole world for
the cost OF attempting to reach the conclu-
sion Of the Arctic epic.

UNDER WAY.-The Nevada people have
gotten their mountain road enterprise under
way by forming Turnpike Company, and
fixing the amout of capita! stock at s25, 900.
Much of this is already taken. 1t is the in
tention to have the road completed early in
the summer Tolls will be charged until such
time as they reimburse the expenditure, when
the road will be turned over to the county.
We are certain, however, that experience
will demonstrate the better plan to be to
continue it toll road, with the charges mo-
derate. A road of the kind will continually
need repairs, aud it is only by company
they would be made.
The road will pass through Eureka, and
bv way of the Henness Pass, 10 the new

WASHINGTON, Jan. 29.--It is rumored that
the President is preparing a message, urging
Congress to pass revenue tariff and es6ma-
ting the deficiency for the current fiscal year
at twenty millions of dollars.
Vice President Breckenridge has gone home
sick.-Special dispatch to the Boston Journal.
Jan. 30.-A letter received here from Chill,
dated Dec. "A, says that Senior Urmehta, Sc
cretary of State, has made a convention with
Mr.. Bigler the United States Minister, sub
jecting the ship Macedonian claim to the arb-
by the Senate, and, probably, also by the
House of Representatives. The compromise
about the Franklin is now a law, and Mr.. Big
Ter would receive the $4,000 agreed upon be-
fore the LIST of January. These claims are Of
many years standing. The letter adds that the
political horizon is becoming every day more
cloudy, that the hitherto prudent Chill is rap
idly losing her credit and that there is no pres
ent security.
The Postmaster General estimates that about
a million dollars are necessary for the transpor-
tation of the mails between the United States
and foreign countries, and from New York to
New Orleans and San Francisco and back, for
the next fiscal year. The larger part OF the
service is to be paid with the sea and inland
hostages. No new lines are recommended.
The House Committee on Indian Affairs
have unanimously agreed on bill relative to

settlers to obtain titles after one year.

shoot her, but was prevented from doing so by
several Of his generals. lie is in a bad fix,
but the lack of military knowledge and disci-

LOVE AND SUICIDE.-A young man named
Alexander Laudauer says the Nevada Demo-
crat, a German, who had been working for a
year and half at the bakery of W. Dreifuss,
in Nevada, committed suicide last Sunday
morning. at the house of Mrs Driver. 1t
seems that he got desperately in love with a
young damsel named Louise, who is boarding
with Mrs. Driver, and had sent her his daguer-
reotype and some other presents. He visited
Louise on Saturday evening, and, according
to her testimony, she gave him back his da-
guerreotype, and told him he had no sense.
He remarked that he would have satisfaction,
and left. The next morning the inmates of
the bakery noticed Laudauer writing letter,
but saw nothing unusual in his appearance.
After finishing the letter, he went to the st.
Louis Hotel and borrowed loaded revolver.
He then went to Mrs. Drivers, and told her
that he had letter for Louise Mrs. Driver
told him that Miss Louise was not yet up, and
that she would take the letter and give it to
her. Laudauer said he would give the letter
to her himself, and rushed up stairs and into
the room where Louise was in bed. He threw
the letter and daguerreotype on the bed I;
Louise raised up and told him to leave, but
seeing him pull out a revolver, she covered her
mead under the bedclothes and screamed "mur-
der Laudauer then put the pistol to his
breast and discharged one barrel. the ball of
when passed through his body, killing him
almost instantly. Mrs. Driver had followed
the infatuated young man up stairs, to bring
him back, and as she got to the door of Louise's
room she heard the report of the pistol, and
saw him fall to the floor, when she ran down
stairs and gave the alarm. Louise remained
covered up in the bed until crowd of men
rushed into the room, when she rolled the
blankets around her person and walked off.
