Used land as quickly as possible. The rush is
already great, but nothing in comparison TO

PACK TRANs FOR WAsHoE.-Says the Colo.
ma Tines Of Saturday-"Nearly every day
pask trains pass through this place en- route
for WashOe diggings, from MarysviIIe, Nevada,
Auburn and other places at the North. Thurs
day last there was train passed containing
about sevensy.6ve animals, from Marysvlle
The animals were to be loaded at Placerviile
How happens it that all these pack trains come
this way to cross the mountains, when they
have so greatly a superior route nearer home |:
Will some one inform us?"
Extravagant puffs and silly assertions have
failed to convince the public that any Of the
rival routes are superior 10 the Placerville
route. The Placcrville route is the only one
that has been open during the entire winter
all the others are, even up to this late date,
impossible. This is well established fact,
Parties that tried other routes were compelled
to retrace their steps, and pass over the only
one at all practicable.

A negro preacher was lately fined $50 in Detroit,
Michigan and in default Of bsil. was imprisoned go
days, the penalty awarded by law for negro preach.
ing in that State The Free PresS say. the authOri-
ties are determined to prosecute every violation Of
this Iaw.-Erchan0e.
From the above it appears that the oppo.
nents u free speech are not all in the South
Had such proceeding taken place on the
sunny side Of Mason & Dixon's line, it would
have been attributed to the influence Of the
"pecular institutions" and every Black Re-
publican paper would have denounced it as
outrageous and brutal but coming from Mich.
igan, q thoroughly Black Republican State,
no notice is taken of it. Perhaps the Michi-
gan Republicans are becoming disguised with
their negro allies. and fear that if they allow
them to preach they may claim the right to
speak at their political meetings. The Detroit
Republicansare notorious for their love for the
negro. Frequent instances of their mixing
promiscuously and lntermarrying with them,
have been noticed in the public journals. 1t
may be that the experiment has not resulted
MS happily as was anticipated, and that the
Republicans, perceiving the degradation they
have brought upon themselves by too free
intercourse with the negroes, have determined
to show their detestation of it by prosecuting
their late allies. 1t is pretty family muss,
with which Democrats have no disposition to
interfere.

The Senate passed, on Tuesday, the bill in
trodnced by DR.. Titus for an Act authorizing
the Board Of Supervisors Of FL Dorado county
to levy bridge toll at Brockliss', upon the
Sacramento and FL Dorado wagon road, over
the Sierra Nevada. The toll collected is to be
appropriated exclusively for the improvement
Of the road, and if judiciously expended will
make it the best mountain road in the State
A sufficient amount will be realized, without
taxing the Transfers heavily, to improve the
road and keep it in good condition. Transfers
sec the necessity of keeping the road in good
order, and have expressed their willingness to
pay reasonable toll for such purpose.

are to the "manor born" They are rooted

linger and cluster, their entire heart aSsocia-
tons. Not SO with the cmigrant to this fair
State. Spite Of all effort, he must turn fond
glance TO his olden home. In the far.oh dis
lance are the graves of his forefathers, and
the playground Of his childhood. Perhaps
an aged and dccIepit mother beckons him to
her arms. She would sec her boy again. ere
the skeleton reaper hurries her away from
earthly ties. In that distant land, n contincn.
sweeping between, are the old homestead
with its memorcd surroundings, and fond
brothers and dOting sisters. No wonder at
nil he is restless and dissatisfied in his new
home Not so with those dear little ones who
send forth their merry shouts about us. They
know no other skies but the bright ones of
California. Their innocent rcvcls are conse

rich soil over which they ramblc. Each act

have no home but this-thcy dream of none
