that may be made upon them for goods by EmigrantS

number daily increase and small trains leave con-
stantly for the mines when the weather permits.
We think it imprudent, in the present unsettled
state of the weather, for parties to attempt to cross
the mountains. The road may be open, yet If can
not be other than irksome and disngreeable if not
dangerous travelling just now. Better remain few

TRrTH Fifty SPokEN. The Black Rcpub
lican leaders and press are libelling the non
shareholders Of the South, and al!c'lging that
their support of slavery dcgradcS white labor;
that poor laboring men are not respected and
cannot rise to distinction. Here is word
Just spoken by r. NJ. r. Hunter, Of Virginia,
in the L S. Senate
Nor is it true that the institution Of slavery
make manual labor on the part Of the whites dcs.
picable in the slavcholding States. There is no
country on earth IN which honest Labor as believe
IL more respected and Of this ! am certain, thai
every white laborer IN the savchndng States is
more nearly on equality with every other man in
the community than every white laborcr in the
North Is On terms Of equality with every other man
in the North"
The Black Republican libellcrs of the white
laborcrs Of the South may put that in their
pipes and smoke l.. Every word Of it is true
known to be so by every man who has ever
worked in the South. No man in the South
is excluded from the best society on account of
his calling or poverty, but the brightest and
richest are if they are guilty Of conduct unbc
coming gentlemen.

\ GENTLEMAN who has Just returned from WaShoe
bv the route ria Brrkwiti Valley, Jurni>un CIV, the
Empire Ranch aud D0wncvilc, has furnished ny
some important facts concerning that rontr. lie
went In Wa>hne by the way If Placervie. He saws
that the way Of his return is incompartblv superior
for travel at all If the year. to the one by
which he went .MrysrWe Apr~H,
DO facts sustain the assertions Of the .tyg,caTS
informant? Has any other than the Placer.
vile route been open at all seasons of the
year? Those who have attempted to cross
on other routes and failed, say not. Repeated
trials have been made on other routes, but
all without success. Why do people from
Downicvlle, Nevada and Marysvlc take the
Placcrvic route, if thsy have nearer and
better one at home? Is it to build up the
Placervillc route at the expense of their own?
Certainly not-but because it is the only
practicable route at this season Of the year
This is an indisputable fact, well known to
nine-tenths Of the citizens of WaShoc, who
give the preference to the Paccrvillc route.

is, no man thrives who fails to patronize the
