''You may read many of the Eastern weeklies

lies, velvet and feathers, little fiends equipped in
smiles and crinolne, big scoundres in ePaulettes,
with love of nous ache, turning the heads of

Or course, these were not all from the At
lantic slope, via the Isthmus or Nicaragua,
bu, the great mass of them were. Proba.
bly, most Of those brought BY small vessels
from Pacific ports were not reported to or
recorded al the Custom House at all.-
There were some immigrants 10 California
who did not land al San Francisco; though
the great mass undoubtedly did. Then
there was heavy, though capriciOus Over
land emigration Gov. Bigler stated the
number in 1854 alone at 81 ,462; and there
was very large emigration across the plains
in 1852. In 1857, the number was eslima-
ted at l2,5o0. This year, our estimate OF
the number, founded on personal observa-
tion, is 10000; but others make it 10000
&c $4,000. There was, also, very con.
siderable emgrant movement across the
Plains in an easterly direction. So far, we
have taken no account of the emigration 10
and travel from Oregon and Washingto H.
We know we are within bounds when we
estimate the number who have passed from
the Atlantic slope 10 California and Oregon
or Washington at an average OF 10000,
while the average number who have annu-
aIly returned thence cannot have fallen be-
low 0,000.
Can there be any doubt that nlne-tenths
OF these would have Travelled by Railroad
had snch road stretched from he Missou-
ri or Mississippi to The Pocifc, the fare be-
ing moderate, and the passage made within
Ten days? We estimate thar twice TO thrice
the number who actually did go 10 CaliIor-
MIA would have gone had there been such Il
means OF conveyance, and that the present
AngIo-American population of the Pacific
slope would have been little less than Two
Milions-say California, 100000; Ore
gon, 300, 900; Washington, 100000; Sono-
ra and Mexican California, 100000.

Total yearly earnings Of the road. SIT ,O00, 600
In this statement, we have made no ac-
count whatever of India, China, Australia,
Polynesia, &c., as taking this road in their
way 10 and from either shore Of the Allan
tic. We DO not doubt that they would
make some use of il at first, and more and
more annually thereafter; but this not a
resource 10 be relied on. We count on no
transportation Of aught but passengers and
gold from California eastward; though we
are sure that much grain would flow thence
into the Piaeers and settlements Of the
Great Basin, especially the rich mines
newly discovered in Carson Valley. We
know that California would soon begin TO
send Wines, Fruits, &c., eastward, and
that her Wool, Hides, &c., would soon fol-
low IN their path. We can have no doubt
that Railroad from the Missouri TO the
Pacific would earn Seventeen Millions OF
Dollars The year after its completion, and
that ITS income would increase thenceforth
al the rate of at least One Million per an
nun for ten or fifteen years.

such read in another article, and then

Sorry He WAS Told.

According 10 The testimony Of Mr.. Hugh
Forbes, who has published a lengthy cor
respondence with leading New England
Abolitionists, concerning the plans for pro-
moliDg an insurrection among slaves at the
South, and stealing If slaves from their
masters, certain distinguished men in the
Republican party were aware Of the plots
which had been concocted 10 effect such ob-
iects. No less than three Senators Of the
United States, for as many different S;ales
Of the Union, are named as having been
consulted on the subject. Forbes was en-
gagged by Brown as his assistant, but IN
consequence Of failure TO pay for his SER
vices according to promise, he gave the
''chief contributors" much trouble. Brown
and Forbes disagreed as to the system most
available far carrying on the ''cOnhict;" the
former favoring and insisting upon the plan
lately attempted at Harper's Ferry, while
the latter thought an organization for run
ing of slaves, fifty al time, from different
points, would be most likely 10 destroy the
value ol slave property, and TO hasten the
destruction OF the system. The interview
Of Forbes with Senator Seward. is desert
