RAILRoADs.-A late number of
the Newhnrypo Herald gives the
miles Of railroad in the United States
at 26,752, aad the total cost S96I,-
047, 364. The net income OIL these
roads in 1857 was S4S, ,406.4SS, of
about five per cent on the capital ili-
vested. When it is taken into con-
s;deration that milIiors of dollars have
been injudicioasly expended oRsroads
that any man of sense ough: to have
known wouid never pay. and when it
is computed that one-third OF all mon
eys expended on railroads generally
is wasted. it will be conceded that
railroads i'll the United States ar e
pretty fair property.
The State of Pennsylvania has a
debt Of S39,134,152, The larger part
Of which was incurred in connection
with internal improvements Though
nenrly all lost to the State in direct
return, it has been vastly more than
made up II The valuation of her prop.
erty, development of her mines and

men.
The most expensive railroad in the
United States is the New York and

Geography Of Consumptiom.-We
take the following from the Scientific
American Consumption originates
in all lalitudes-from the equator,
where the, mean temperature is so
degrees, with slight variations, TO the
higher portion of the temperate zone.
where the mean temperature is 40 de-
grees. with sudden and violent chan
ges. The opinion long entertained.
that it is peculiar TO cold and humid
climates, is founded on error. Far
from this being the case, the tables
Of mortality warrant the conclusion
that consumption is more prevalent in
tropical than ip temperate countries.
Consumption is rare in the arctic re-
gions. in Siberia. Iceland. the Farce
Islands, the Orkneys. Shetlands, and
.Hebrides. And in confirmation of
he opinion that it decreases with the
decrease of temperature. it is shown
from extensive data, that in northern
Europe it is most prevalent at the
level of the sea. and that it decreases
with increase Of elevation to a cer-
tain point. tits uniformly more fatal
in cities than in the country, DR..
Hall, of the Journal of Health. says
to his consumptive friends You
want air, net physic you want pure
air not medicated air you want nu-
triton, such as plenty of meat and
bread will give. and they alone ;

ORGANIzE.-The people of Auburn
are understood to be willing and anx-
ious 10 unite with the citizcnsof Ne
vada county in the construction Of a
railroad from Folsom TO Nevada, un-
der the direction of one company
As we remarked some weeks since,
the road ought to be built by one
company, and the palt between Fol-
som and Auburn let as a section Of
the whole. Then might follow an
other section from Auburn to Bear
River, and lastly the Neva-a section.
Built by different companies, diffic,,l-
ties may grow up at the connecting
points, and passengers be subjected
to trouble and incouyenienccs in pass
ing from the road of one company to
rhat Of another. The surcst and safest
way would be for the counties Of Ne
vada and Placer to unite their strength
TO procure the construction Of con-
tinueus road from Folsom to Nevada.
Less money will be lost in one set OF
Directors than oil two or more.
The statistical facts, though not
yet made public in the reports of en-
gineers, are sufficiently krown to jus
,ify us in saying that the proposed
railroad from Folsom to Nevada will
be paying enc of the first order
The figures, which are reliable too. to
be found ia the forthcoming reports of
the Hon. Sherman Day and Mr.. S.
g. Elliott, must secure the requisite
capital TO build he raad.
AS soon as these reports are pub
iishcd, with the accompanying maps,
move will be made, we trust. by TIE
citizens Of Nevada and Placer to act
in concert and organize company
preparatory to commencing the great
work in earnest. There is proper
spirit awakened which seems to prom-
ise fruitful results

FRIDAY R0RNING, HARCh, 10.


NEvADA-HER DuTy.--That our
city occupies, for an inland town. one
uf the most advantageous positions
il not the best, on this side of Tie Si-
ezra Nevada, will not lie seriously
questioned bv those conycrsant with
the. facts. Lying as near thc eastern
borders OF the State rs circumstances
will allow n large town 10 be built.
and ncar one of tho most eligible
passes in the Sierra range nearer
bvrsoine miles to the newly discover
ed silver region of Western Utah than
any other town Of Ike importance,
and on mn almost direct line from those
mines to :hc central waters of Cali
fornia, Nevada presents a promising
aspect. With a. opening through
tho mountains 10 the vast empires to
the East, 1900 feet lower than TIE
ono st Placerville, and with feast
lie route fer grand trunk railway
connecting the Atlantic with tho Pa
cifc, the citizens Of Nevada have a
right to congratulate themselves on n
promising future. But while satisfied
with our local position with respect to
the, great marts and thorongllfares Of
trade Of the continent, ii behooves Us
10 net with that spirit becoming q pen .
pie mindful OF high destiny. Local
advantages may be great, but skill,
capital, action, frequently overcome
obstacles and tbwart the apparent de-
signs of nature. Cities have been
built on tho most unfavorable sites,
and perseverance has given them vast
advantages over others occupying
more desirable locations by nature.
Labsr conquers all tliugs-ro which
VIC would add-sloth ruins the best
advantages.
Sometimes a word 10 time.--a trif
ling cxcrtion is the lever determiu-
Ing a favorable turning point in the
history of place as we'll as of an in-
dividhal. A stick drawn along the
ground will shape the course Of wa
ter and ultimately produce a channel
wide and deep which no after labor
can obIiteraie.
Perhaps there is trifling duty we
owe ourselves at the present time,
which, performed, may determine the
fate of our city. Perhaps it may be
polite 10 do it rs work ofinsurancc
What that duty is, we are going to
say. In our opinion we ought TO em-
ploy corps of competent civil engi-
neers to examine TIE country between
Nevada and the country east Of the
Sierra Nevada, with reference TO a
railroad; for demonstrate the feasibil-
ity Of such road and we have the
advantage of attention attracted to
our route before others. Nothing
but the advantage of time and pre-
directed attention has given the Plac-
erviile route its prestige for wagon
road. The same advantage obtained
for the Uenness pass as route for a
railway would be great. and taken in
connection with the superiority of the
pass must have powerful influence
in locating eventually a railroad
across the mountains in this vicinity
We throw out these suggestions
which seem 10 us to be reasonable.
hoping they will commend themselves
to the public spirited men of our city
and county.
