WELL DosE, FOR AUBURS.-At a special
election held on Monday last, we learn from
the Placer Herald, the people of Auburn
voted unanimously in favor of authorizing
the Trustees of that town to subscribe $50
600 to the stock of the Sacramento, Placer
and Nevada Railroad, in accordance with an
act of the last Legislature. Auburn has by
this movement won the reputation of being
the most public spirited town in the State.
We doubt if greater liberality was ever
shown by any village of like size in the
Union.

Democracy will not allow a good thing to
be spoiled in this manner. A good joke

DESTRUCTION OF FRUIT TREEs.-We have
noticed In several orchards and gardens
swarms of small flies, resembling the grape
fly, only that they are of dark green color.
This insect seems to direct its ravages more
particularly to the plum tree. Itcommences
upon the young and teuder leaves on the
ends OF the branches, and then proceeds to
cover all the foliage towards the body of the
tree. Its work upon the plum tree resem-
bles the ravages of the white fly upon the
grape leaf, We have not yet heard of any
remedy for this new pest-Sonora Aqc.

The Republican Nominee.

BY telegraph on Saturday evening last
the good people of this burg became ac-
quainted with the result of the Chicago
Convention Much surprise has been ex-
pressed at the nomination of Hannibal Ham
lin, OF Maine, for the Vice-P Presidency not
that ne is not p good man and every way
worthy of the high position, but it would
seem to US at this distance from the doubt
Hli States that party policy required the
nomination of the second man on the ticket
from Pennsylvania, or at least, New JERSEY.
Cameron or Hickman from the keystone
state would seem to US the men from whom
to choose candidate for Vice-President in
order to make that State more sure for the
Republicans. However, we are far removed
from the great center of political action
and are perhaps, not sufficiently informed
as to the real condition of parties East to
speak intelligently on what is polite and
what is not for the Republican party.
The nomination of Abraham Lincoln can
furnish no ground of complaint to the Re-
Publicans. As far as principles or abilities
go he is everything the party can desire
We regard him as one of the very ablest
men in the nation. In the great canvass
against Douglas in Illinois he was more
tnan match for the little giant in every
encounter, and came off victorious with the
people of that State, obtaining the popular
vote by near FIVE thousand majority.--
There is every reas on to believe that should
Douglas be the nominee at Baltimore he
will have to look to other States but his
own for votes to make him President of
these United States. Lincoln is a man of
character and talents, and is immensely |
popular with the people. He loses nothing
by acquaintance, but leaves higher opin- |
ion of himself the oftener he is brought in |
contact with others. 1t is not so with
Douglas, and besides the latter has much |
less money to spend in the canvass than he |
had before the last Senatorial contest in
Lincoln, as an old line Whig, will COM
mend himself to the members of that old
and gallant party. Hamlin, as an enlght-
ened Democrat, will go far to crafty the
liberal and justice-loving portion of the old
time Democracy now acting with the Re-
publicans, and between the two very re-
spectacle ticket indeed is presented for the
support of the Republicans in the opening
canvass.

ENGINEER ELLIor's REpoRr.-We publish
to-day the report of Mr.. Elliot, who made
the preliminary survey of a railroad line
from Nevada to Auburn in December last.
The report has been long looked for and
will be read with interest. We regret that
it has not been made public before. A
statement of the gradients used on other
railroads in the United States, taken from
the report of Geo. B. McClelland to the Sec
retary of War, as also portion of the Re-
port of Lieut.. Beckwith, describing the
country and its adaptation to railroad pur-
poses, from Salt Lake to Mud Lake, which
accompanied the Report of Mr.. Elliott, we
have omitted for the present Suffice it to
say the grades from Auburn to Nevada on
the contemplated railroad are easy ones and
entirely practicable, and that the country
from Mud Lake to Salt Lake offers no seri-
Gus obstacles to railway From ditch
surveys it is rendered almost certain that a
railroad with fair grades can be constructed
from Nevada to Mud Lake, from thence on
Lieut.. Beckwith's survey to continue and
cross the continent.

Who WILL SAY, Somebody. a rea
der of the Hydraulic Press, inquiries of its
editor what he "means by the assertion,
that Religion when stripped of bigotry and
superstition, is the natural friend and COM
panion of science" Gen. Allen replies:
" James, the most perspicacious and de-
monstrative ethical expOunder, of all the
apostles of Jesus, says, in the 9th verse of
the lst chapter of his epistle, that
"Pure religion and undefiled before God
the Father is this: To visit the fathcrless aud
widows in their afiliction, and to keep himself
unspotted from the world"
This is the only definition of religion
that can be found in the New Testament ::
and indeed, the word no where else occurs
in the Bible, from the first chapter of Cen
esis to the last of Revelations. Religion.
then, according to this most high and VEN
erable authority, is nothing more nor less
than an active benevolence conjoined with
a rigid avoidance of evil action and evil
associations.
" With this definition, against which. we
opine, no objections can be successfully
urged, we cannot see any incompatbility in
the union of pure religion with pure Sci
ence; and, therefore, we again repeat that
Religion, when stripped of bigotrv and SUI
perstition, is the natural friend and compan-
ion of science; in other words, that a kindly
nature and strictly virtuous life. unmixed
with NEUROLOGICAL whims and vagaries. are
potent aids in the investigation of the laws
and operations Of nature"
There's reason and philosophy for vop.

HEsNEss Pass TURNPIKE-We understand
at the meeting called by this Turnpike Com
pany to assemble on Saturday last, there
was no one present at the appointed time to
receive bids for the building of the road
none to award the contract The President
of the company, whose business it was to
be on hand, left some days previous for the
silver mines, with no provision for any one
to take his place or attend to the business
Some of the stockholders in this city want
to know what is meant by this negligence
surveyor has been employed at large pri-
ces to do the engineering, and one.gentle-
man at Moore's Flat stands ready to con-
struct the road, on his own responsibility
if he could be allowed to do so and have the
right to collect tolls. There is culpability
somewhere in this matter. The public call
for the road, and why do not the men who
have attempted to put it through act as if
they were in earnest?
PLACER AND THE RAILRoAD.-The Placer
Herald, of the 9th, has near two column
article, and an able one too, in favor of that
county subscribing literally to the stock Of
the Railroad from Folsom to Nevada The
Herald proves by the figures that S265, ,0OC
on freights and Sl2l, ,666 on passenger mon
ey would be saved each year in Placer Co
alone, if the road were built This sum
would pay 10 per cent. annually on the cost
of constructing the road

MANLINEss THE PURPOSE OF LIFE.-The
purpose Of life is to form a manly char
acter, to get the best development of body
and spirit-of mind, conscience, heart,
SOUL This is the end; all else is the
means. Accordingly, that is not the
most successful life in which man gets
the most pleasure, the most money or
ease, the most power or place, honor or
fame; but that which man gets the most
manhood, performs the greatest, amount
of human duty, enjoys the greatest
amount of human right, and requires the
greatest amount Of manly character 1t
is of no Importance whether he win this
by wearing hod upon his shoulders, Or
crown upon his head. 1t is the charac.

INFLATED SrYLE.-In a judicious criti-
cism on new book, the Boston Courier
says:-"We have spoken of the affluence
the authors style. 1t is exceedingly
rich-too rich. A foudness for unusual
and striking words-words remembered
from old writers, or gathered from quaint
and affected writers-are met with on
every page. Everything must needs be
descriptive. There are no level passages
nothing is told in a simple, straight
forward manner; we are overwhelmed at
every paragraph by troops of gorgeous
adjectives. Nature is always doing some
thing startling, she is never in repose.
The storms are stormier than ever were
seen; faces flash upon people, as they
certainly never do in real life; mountains
climb as they were never known to do
before; and we have the wide, open
window with the distantly russet hills,
through its drawing down wells of pallor
mist to the valleys in their bosom, and
the cloudless sky that bent its ardent
arch, and with fiery languors kissed the
nearer SUBMITS till they smoked what
ever this gorgeous accumulation Of con-
Trajectory adjectives may mean"
