A Trip to .he Lane Of the Railroad.


BY invitation Of an obliging friend with
buggy, We took trip. Oa Sunday last. to
one OF the grand eRcampmsnts OF the San
FraOcisec aHd AarysVille E.ilrosd Company.
some sixteen miles from THE city. We found
it located in the nlidsss Of the tule land, in
broad and open plain. No water was nearer
than three miles Of it. although il was sever
al feet below high water mark. Wood was
somewhat more convenient Wells had been
sunk for drinking water but it proved to be
! full of alkali. so that all the water that is
used must be hauled in a cart. The appear
ance of the camp is quite picturesque. A
long board frame and shed, seventy five or a
! hundred feet in length, occupies the centre.
This building is used as q cooking and dining
establishment. Adjoining it is little trad
ing house, containing clothing and such ar
tcles as the workmen may desire to pur-
chase Scattered around, at various inter
walls. for hundred and fifty or two hundred
yards, are the white tents of the laborers.-
We found them pretty generally occupied, it
being, as we have stated Sunday. Near by
WAS the extensive embankmcnt for the Rail-
road. Eleven feet in height and fifty-nine
feet at the base, and stretching towards the
Sacramento river for more than a mile in
length, it presented very striking picture,
in contrast with the dead level of the plain.
The workmen upon this embankment are
carrying forward the work so as to meet the
workmen at the Marysville end of the line
who have graded a much longer distance
The object of so high an embankment is, Of
course, to place the track above the reach of
high water At this camp there are about
three hundred men.
There is still another encampment nearer
the river, which we did not visit. 1t is occu
pied by Cinnamon, under the supervision Of
Sing Yat, (or a Celestial of some such name)
from Oroville, who has taken a contract for
constructing portion of the basis of the
road lie has two hundred and fifty China
men in his employ, and it is said that, when
the days work is done or the laborers come
nome TO their meals, the camp presents tair
realization of a second Babel Captain Sing
Yat has high appreciation of the availabil
ity of Chinese labor and seeks to impress it
upon the Company:
"Chna man, he workee wellee good; he
eatee no muchee. One China man, he eatee
one day, tirty FIVE cent. One Mclean man
he eatee, one day, sixty five cent. China
man, wellee good Mclean man, no good,
he eatee too muchee."
One thing, however, Captain Sing Yat
oyerlooks, and that is that "Melican man"
does at least II third more work in day
than Chinaman The Chinese workmen'
nevertheless, are very industrious. Applica
tions from leading Cinnamon are frequently
made to the Company for contracts ON the
road.
