rrarsh's VI alter Works.

Mr.. Marsh, having completed q survey Of the
city with the view Of laying down water pipes,
went to San Francisco last week, and after
examining the Bensley Water Works, and get
ting what additional information be could OBJ
tain, sent an order to Philadelphia for the
pipes. he has also sent an order to New York
for twenty-eight Croton hydrants. The latter
are paid for by the town, aud will cost twenty
five dollars each II will require II $50 feet of
cast iron pipe to complete tho works OF Which
there will be $50 feet of l0.inch pipe, $3.50
feet Of inch pipe, 5000 feet Of inch pipe,
and 1850 feet Of 4-inch pipe. The pipes are to
be subjected to the test Of the Croton Commits
sioners of four hundred feet pressure. The
pipes, hydrants, and other articles connected
with the works will weigh about 100 tons
They are TO be shipped on fast clipper, and
nothing but the sinking of the ship will prevent
their being in San Francisco by the first Of
February next. Mr. Marsh has also ordered q
number of siop-gates, so that in case it should
become necessary to repair pipe 1t would only
be necessary to shut off the water in small
portion of the town.
II is estimated that the works will cost, when
completed, not less than $3O,00O and II Is the
Intention Of Mr.. Marsh to have everything pre-
pared to lay down the pipes as soon as they
arrive on the ground. 1t is the greatest and
most valuable Improvement ever projected for
the benefit Of the town, and will not only mate
rally increase the value Of property, but give
confidence in the permanancy of the city. When
the works are completed, and water for rriga-
ting purposes is carried over the hills in the
outskirts of the town, Nevada will be the best
town for residences in The State.

DOUGLAS AT FoLsoM.-The Folsom Express,
speaking of the rupture at Baltimore, and Of the

1t is generally believed that his (Douglas) nomi-
nation will be finally accepted by the general Dem

old Democrats of this region, especially as Govern
or Downey has ratified the Little Giant. As for
Brcckinridge we hear nobody speak about him.

OPPOSED TO THE PAcIrIc BA1tHoAD.-TheS eccs-
sion candidate for President, has ever been and is
now, a determined opponent Of the Pacific Railroad
and belongs to that school Of Eastern politicians
that care more about the inrigues of the Courts of
Europe than the interests Of the great West. Gen.
]. A. MeDougal, in his speech at the Democratic
ratification meeting in San Francisco, referring to
Breckenridge, said;
He has been, and is. a man Of negatives. He has
not and never had, and policies Of his own and he
is now but the instrument in the hands Of more
powerful, and think more designing men. / have
said he belonged to the school of the gentleman
of Virginia. | have said he was man of negatives.
In proof of this, it win be sufficient for Cafor-
mans to examine his course upon one Of our great
measures-the Pacific Railroad bill | refer gen
temen, to the 30th volume of the Congressional
Globe containing the action of the 33d Congress on
this question. 1t will be found that upon this, as
upon most of the important and difficult questions
before Congress- this favorite son Of Kentucky had
nothing to say. He possesses the wisdom of silence
to an eminent degree but he could not avoid voting
On the goth of January, 1855, the railroad bill was
ordered to be engrossed and read third time, by a
vote of l04 to 81, Mr.. breckenridge again voting
against the bill. On the following day. the vote on
the passage Of the bill reconsdered Mr.. Brock
inridge voting for the reconsideration. The bill
then killed by one majority. Mr.. Breckenridge

of California, which we have received since the
news Of the Baltimore nominations reached the
State, have taken sides as follows:

ELECTORAL TIoKErs.--Tbere are now four
Presidential candidates In the field and there
is no doubt that four electoral tickets will be
brought out in California. A meeting of the
Administration State Committee has been call
ed for Monday next, and we presume that no
movement will be made for calling Conven-
ton until the result Of their deliberations il
known. 1t is understood that the members of
the Committee are divided--some favoring
Douglas, the regular Democratic candidate
and others being n favor of Breckenridge, the
candidate of the bOlters--and the probability
is that two Conventions will be called to nomi-
nate on electoral ticket for each candidate. If
only one Convention is called there will be a
fight at the primary elections, and split in
the Convention; by calling two Conventions
this contest will be avoided. Mr.. Lindley. a
member of the Committee from Ynba, adyo-
Gates the calling Of two Conventions 1t has
been suggested 10 some quarters that Con-
vcnton should be called aud candidates for
electors selected, who should be left at liberty
to cast the vote of the State as they should
deem expedent But such an arrangement
cannot be carried out. When the people vote
they want TO know who they are voting for.
We care nothing for forms, aud shall support
the electors who are pledged to cast the vote of
the State for Douglas, no matter how they may
be nominated

The Opposition and Republican papers aud
politicians Of the Eastern States are singnlarly
unanimous in supporting Breetinridge and de-
nouncing Douglas and the Democratic party.
In some places, we hear the Republicans have
actually supplied the powder to fire Breckin-
ridge salutes. 1t is natural that the opponents
Of Democratic principles should take sides with
the weaker party, and by this means the friends
Of Breckenridge have been enabled to keep up
an appearance TO which their numbers do not en-
title them.
Notwithstanding the entire influence Of the
Administration will be welded against the
Democratic party, there is every reason to be-
leye that Douglas will carry every Northern
State except Massachusetts aud Vermont but
even should he lose three or four others, be
will carry more than enough Southern States
TO give him majority in the Electoral College.
The very fact that the Secessonsts have bolted
the regular nominations, and cut loose from the
party, will bring back into the Democratic
ranks thousands of voters who left the party
because they would not act With the disunion-
lists. g
The only State in the Union which the Seces-
sionists have any show Of carrying for Brock
inridge is South Carolina. They could not
carry even that State If the election was left 10
the people but the Presidential Electors being
chosen by the Legislature tho vote OF the
State will be controlled by the politicians, and
will consequently be cast for the Secession can
dldate. In Tennessee, Kentucky, Virginia,
North Carolina aud Delaware, there is q strong
Opposition, and from present appearances.
Breckenridge will draw off enough Democratic
votes 10 give the electoral vote of those States
to Bell, but they cannot, in any event, be car
ried for the Secessionsts. In Alabama and
Mississippi the Secessionists will make desper-
ate Ggbt but when the people Of those States
ascertain that the real contest is between Doug.
las and Lincoln, VIC believe they will range
themselves under the old Democratic banner,
and be found battling for the regular nominee.
In the South, Breckenridge will of course be
supported by all The old line dlsunionists. and
in the North his vote will be about in the proper
ton as Lincoln is likely to &c! in the South.
The truth is, Breckenridge is now being used as
tool to crafty the spite of the Administration
who have determined to defeat Douglas at all
hazards, even at the cost of the American
Union. Heretofore he has never been regarded
as an ultraist, and the probability is, that be
from the contest before the election takes place.
