THE xARYsvnIE ROUTE.

The distance from Virginia city to the

The distance from Virginia city to steam
boat navigation at Marysville is l47 miles
The distance from Virginia city to the
Railroad at Lincoln, via Nevada is 1872

1HE NEVADA AND EUREKA ROuTE.

Eureka road at Jackson's Ranch. Conse'
quently all the people of this section OF the

we shall have good road from Nevada and
Grass Valley to Virginia City. over which

lbs. easier than the same team can draw
5000 lbs over the Placerville road. There
is also a saving in distance, as will be seen
by comparison, of forty-t,ro miles
These facts have been obtained from in
telligent men, teamsters and others, who
are acquainted with both rontes, and who
have no other interest to subserve, in the
matter, than the opening up OF the most
ready means of communication between the
points named.

.sThe Great Eastern,

This nautical prodigy, an account of
the completion of which was brought
by the Hungarian, it is announced, Off
cially, will leave England for Portland
in Maine, early in the present month.
The rates of passage, port of departure
and other arrangements, were to be
announced in a few days.
The Great Eastern differs from all
ships which have been built before i'll
three rcspects-the chief of which is
it's excessive magnitude. Nothing like
it has ever before fioated. Ordinary
steamers ard ships are like cock-boats
by her side. The immense steamships
in the English and the American Navy
hardly equal half her length or bro adth,
and yet such vessels as the iIimalaya,
the Persia, the Adriatic, and the Mag
ara have hitherto been regarded as
absolute prodigies in marine architec-
ture. The length between perpendicu-
lars of this mammoth vessel, is 697
feet inches; breadth 80 feet inches;
depth of hold, so feet; tonnage, 23,o92.
Magnitude, however, is not the only
popularity which the Great Eastern
possesses. No other vessel afoat has
two sets of engines and two propellers;
nor is the cellular construction to be
found elsewhere in marine architecture,
though sometimes used at the top and
bottom of great bridge structures.
Apart from the aforementioned pc
culiarities, this vessel embodies nothing
novel. Her materials are put together
in the form and the manner usual to
other ships constructed on the wave
principle.
The Great Eastern is calculated to
carry population of 10000, including
the crew. Her completion, shonld she
fully succeed, is an event in history
and her arrival in Portland will be
commemorated by the visits of thous-
ands. h fsses8 5e

IGNORANCE OF THE SLAyE-OCRACY.
In his late speech at Jackson, Mis-
sisslppi in advocacy of the claims of the
Slave Power for the legalization of the
African slave trade, the acquisition of
further territory for the extension of
slavery and a Congressional slave code
for the territories, Jefferson Davis, the
leader of the Southern wing of the
Black Democracy, speaks of the people
of the Free States generally as ssthose
who for want of land and by reason of
climate, find in the workshop their
only industrial employmentr'
The asses think that because they
get almost all the articles of American
manufacture which they use, from the
Free States that we do nothing but
manufacture! They cannot imagine
how the cultivation of the soilispossible
except by labor extorted from slaves
by the lash of the oyerseer.

the track of the road, and sat by when
the train came along, and owned the
act. They became ameDable to the

fore Commissioner Wilkins, and re-
cognized with sureties in $1,000 each,
for their appearance at the next term
of the u. S. Circuit Court. They will
find it costly revenge. The reasons
they give for so doing was that the
Company refused to pay them for the
land on which the track was built. 4st

A conference was agreed to, and nego-
fiations were commenced, but at last
accounts neither the man nor his cap
tors had been delivered up. At pub

-Four Persons over Niagara Falls

We learn from gentleman who
came up on the Niagara Falls cars this
morning, that boat containing two
gentlemen and two ladies WIS seen go
ing over the Falls yesterday evening.
They were in clinker boat, and it is
supposed had been running around the
neighborhood of Chippewa, and were
accidentally drawn into the current.
Our informant did not witness the az
cident himself, but obtained the infor-
nation from a person who pretended
to be an eye witness. For ourselves,
we put no faith in the story. The tel
egraph will probably inform us if such
an accident occurred.
Since writing tho above we have re-
ceived the Lockport Advertiser with
the following particulars: Yesterday
afternoon about one o'clock, man by
the name of Rosseau, ard Mr.. Morse
and wife, started in boat from near
the head of the Hydraulic Canal at Nj
agara Falls, to cross over the river to
Chippewa, when the boat was struck
by gale and capsized. They were
observed by persons on shore with spy
glasses to get on to the boat for safety.
They were soon carried by the strong
current into the rapids, and were last
seen above the "Three Sisters" The
wind was blowing gale at the time,
and the efforts which were commenced
for their rescue could not be completed
before they were hopelessly engulphed
in the fatal waters of the rapids.
We learn that Rosseau was saved
from a fate like this only about year
ago, and when rescued was so chilled
as to be entirely helpless. He is re-
ported by the citizens in his neighbor-
hood to have been smuggler by oc-
enpation. Mr.. Morse was a jeweler
and resided at Chippewa.

Horse Thief Caught and Property Re-
covered. -.

Officers T. J. Gardner and z. M.
Taylor, after three weeks pursuit and
search through pretty much the whole
State of Indiana, returned to this village
last week with the team and carriage
belonging to Messrs. A. J. g T. j.
Garener, and stolen the first of August,
as noticed in this paper of two weeks
ago; and bringing with them Nathan
Taylor, the thief, whom they caught in
the appropriate business of peddling
whisky by the drink from gallon jug
on the outskirts of a camp meeting near
the Tippicanoe Battle Ground.
After travelling pretty much all over
the State, Taylor had taken the prop
erty to Indianapolis and sold it in sepe-
rate parcels, chiefly at auction, and the
various purchasers had taken it in as
many different directions out into the
country and to places ranging from a
half dozen to one hundred miles from
indianapolis.
After tracing out and collecting the
property, they soon succeeded in finding
Mr.. Taylor and interrupting his spiri-
tual exercises as above mentioned.
Finding himself caught, Taylor under
took to save himself by proposition
to "turn states evidence" against two
well known citizens of Pokagon, who,
he pretended, had instigated and assis-
ted him to steal and run away with the
property; and undertook to support his
charges by statement of pretended
facts and circumstances. His story
was exceedingly plausible and cunning
ly invented; but after a thorough inves-
tigation of the matter by Messrs.
Clarke q Spencer, the Attorneys of
the Messrs. Gardner, the whole was
found to be utterly false and unfounded.
So NIr. Taylor will probably have to
shoulder his own load. He has been
committed and will probably hear
something interesting from the people
of the State of Michigan at the ap-
preaching term of the Circuit Court.
In the pursuit and capture of the
stolen property andthief, Messrs. Gard
ner and Taylor exhibited an extraor-
binary degree of shrewdness, energy
and perseverance, proving themselves
excellently keen on cold track.
Whoever wants stolen property re-
covered or afelon caught will do well to
employ them to find and follow the
trail. sp

A Democratic u. s. Senator's Opinion of
the Trainers of the Constitution.

Senator Puge is entitled to niche
among the preserved munmies Of great
political discoveries. In late speech
in Clermont Co., Ohio, he relieved him
self of the following:
"Now, I hear it said very often, by
Republican speakers, that the founders
of our Constitution believed, that Slave
ry was temporary. / believe that is
so. | don't doubt that is so; not that
they put it into the Constitution, not
that they ever legislated upon the sub
iect, but because slave labor was then
Improbable. / viii explain the reason
of that in a few moments. What is il
that makes slave labor profitable to-
day? 1t is cotton We did not cult
vate cotton then"
From this, the Detroit Tribune says,
we are to infer that if Washington,
Jefferson, Adams, Franklin, Hancock,
and the fathers of the government, had
only known that cotton raised by negro
slaves in the Southern States, was to be
such an enormously paying crop they
would never have harbored an anti.
slavery weakness, or talked about the
rights of man being inalienable, and
about a constitution "to preserve the
blessings of liberty" When they
lived, slavery did not pay, and hence
had no right to expect any favor from
them. Being mcrcenary set of pat
riots, as Senator Puge considers them,
did they but live now, and see cotton
of ready sale at high rates, and the
prices of good healthy negroes run up
to seventeen hundred dollars, they
would look upon slavery with decided
favor, as the Democratic party of the
present time does. This is the highest
idea locofoco q. States Senator can
entertain of the character of the revo-
lutionary father. The Senator is also
badly up in history. 1t iswell known
that some of the very men who APP
proved the great anti-slavery ordinance
of 1887, helped to fran the constitu-
ton what then does the Senator mean
by the phrase, "not that they ever leg
islated upon the subject" But just
reasoning, humane feeling, sound prin-
ciples or historical accuracy, fine no
place in modern locofoco harangues.
