THE WAGON RoAD.--The meeting
which is called to assemble to-mor-
row at the Court House to deliberate
upon the project of constructing a
road over the Sierras to the Washoe
silver mines. will perhaps feel dispos-
ed to select route from among those
which private interest may propose
and urge. For one we have no per-
sonal knowledge of, or interest in.
either the route by Eureka or Bear
Valley. Nevada wants the easiest
and best route, and the short
est one she can obtain with a good
grade, wherever THAT route may be.
The claims of the Bear Valley route
have been extolled to some extent of
late, and we understand toll road
leading into Bear Valley on thisside.
and on which = considerable sum of
money has been expended. is tender
ed to the county free should that
route be selected. Whether the coun-
try beyond is of such nature as to
make the donation an object to choose
the Bear Valley route, we are una
bic to determine, and hope those IA
miliar with the routes will enlighten
the people who are expected to con-
tribute their means to construct a
road. Distances aud all things being
equal on the two routes we would.
looking only to the interests of Neva-
da city, prefer the Bear Valley route
for reasons we have hitherto given
the public. The presentation of the
Bear Valley toll road, however would
be more than counterbalanced, we
have no doubt, by the purses of those
owning toll bridges across the South
Yuba river. who would be largely
benefited by the choice Of the other
route.
Whichever is determined to be the
best route by those familiar with
mountain travel we hope will be adop-
ted unanimously by all parties as the
only sure course to obtain at the ear
licst moment, great desidcratum to
this city--a transB,ontane road. We
have the highest hopes that the as.

CALIFORNIA CoLLRGE.-It is, per-
haps, not known to many of our rea-
ders that the College established at
Oakland under the most hopeful aus
pices had its origin in Nevada city,
The project of such an educational
institution was first broached in a
soavocsiion of religious gentlemen in
,his city in ls5ay tie plains laid out
and the Rev. Henry Durant assigned
to the principal charge of the school.
For six years the project of Cali
foraia College has never been aban-
doned and during the past summer an
interest has been awakened in its be-
haif which promises permanency to
the institution and golden fruits there
from. Gentlemen of means and de-
termined character have resolutely
taken hold 81 the noble enterprize of
founding an institution Of learning on
the Pacific which shall scatter the
light of knowledge over rising States,
and be an honor and q blessing to
their children.
The college Of California" by the
wisdom of those who have it in charge,
has been placed upon the most liberal
and enlig Q ba, is. Ins { OF bull
ding np an institution for the es2ec cial
control and credit of one denomina-
sion of christians, the gentlemen who
arc most sealous in the good work
are imhued with wise and liberal
views of the proper objects of Col
lege and have resolved to place the
College of California on no sectarian
basis. Allarc made equal co-Iabor
ers, if they will, in the best Of works.
The enterprise is thus one in which
every Cal ifori,ian may unreservedly
take an interest. 1t is an enterprise
appealing 10 the patriotism and pride
ofevery one Cf rs. if the higher mo-
sives which actuaie the christian and

Is On honor of which any one may be
proud, and which, we trust, the for
sunc-fsvored will strive to gain.
There are some whose minds roll
along in the deep ruts of the old road
Of sectarianism, who cannot get out
upont the more broad aud smooth high
way of modern liberalism. They are
at loss to comprehend how R pro-
fessor Of christianity can engage in
any work designed for the public good
unless he can see an opportunity TO
aggrandize his own denomir alton
alone by bis action. Thus we see
persistency on the part Of some d.
vines in pronouncing the college of
California" the pet of churcn-be.
cause. forsooth, men of another sect,
but Of moro iiberalized ideas, are en-
gagged in its behalf. These men would
have each denomination of christians
establish College of its own-or
rather tho shadow of one which for
want of support would exist only in
name, and be lmpotent for good for
want Of endowment. The population
of California is as yet too small for
more than one College deserving the
name. Let all men of whatever shade
Of belief unite their mears and efforts
to secure the establishment of one
and they will have done a deserving
act. We know Of 10 better nucleus
for that,one at the present time than
the College of California presents,
and therefore that has our sympa-
thies.

Trxc Perhaps.- A correspondent OF
