First Arrival over the Petniuma aud Wca-
Verviilc Express Route.

Mr.. Swift, of Swift 4 Co.'s Express accompa-
MED by J. ODell, left this city last Tuesday, for
Weaverville. Trinity co, via Headsburg, Ukiah
city, &c. The object of this trip is the opening
of express communication with that portion OF
the mines, via Petaluma, 1t having long since
been demonstrated that the distance between
Weayeryille and San Francisco, via Petaluma, Is
from 60 to so miles less than by any other route
known. With n zeal and energy deserving of
praise, Mr. Swift has undertaken the opening up
of this new route. If he succeeds, he will lay
our poople under deep obligations for diver
sion of the trade of that country, which will
be the ultimate result-SoaOma JOWndL May n.

Scott's Valley, crossing South Fork Eel river at
Robnson's, Nome Cult Reservation, in Round

zng country in California, is found along the
route, the grass in many of the valles being as
high as the horses. There are thousands of acres
which would yield two tons of hay to the acre.
