RI- The Southern Democratic members
of Congress, we are informed by the last
Pony Express, had signed an address to the
seceders at Charleston, asking them to go
into the Baltimore Convention of Democrats
and endeavor to pass resolutions protecting
Southern rights. Strenuous efforts will be
made on all hands by the Democracy to get
the disaffected wings Of the party together
at Baltimore. For political action and ad-
hesion to the party name in every emer-
gency, the Democracy never had an equal.
As party it is hard to beat.

From Nevada to Virginia City,

FROM Nevada to virginia City,. SO
By taking the route from Nevada, ria. JEFF
ferson, Washington and Canon Creek, the
distance may be shortened at least mile
more, reducing the distance from Nevada to
Virginia City to 81 miles
As soon as the stations are properly pro-
vided, which are nearly so at the present
time, Mr.. Sale will run regular Pony Ex-
press and also a pack train over the Henness
route.
When the Central Railroad is completed
to Lincoln, and the Eastern Extension to
Gold Hill, in Placer county, which we are
assured Will be done in July at farthest, the
land travel with animals from San Francisco
to the silver mines, ma. Nevada, will be re-
duced to lO7 miles. This will be 35 miles
less than by way of Placerville, or % miles
less than by Daggett's pass. At this pres
ent time it is contended by every man we
have seen who has passed over the various
routes, that the Henness route is superior
to any. Though Nevada would be happy
to receive the share of travel to which she
deems herself entitled by virtue of superior
advantages, still we assure the people of San
Francisco or the State, that we are not gov
erned by local interests in setting forth the
advantages of the Henness Pass. We hon
estly believe there is no pass equal to it for
smoothness or grade, and confidently trust
what we have been trying to prove to the
people of the State for more than three
years, will soon be universally acknowl-
edghd. All we ask is that some prominent
man, of character and judgment, who is
willing and ready to act disinterestedly,
may be induced to pass over the Henness
route, and give his honest convictions
through the press of San Francisco. Every
Nevada man, of course, will go over his own
route to the silver mines. Let every town
among the foot hills have and use its own
route. But it is our duty as journalists to
point out the best route to the travelling
public of the State. We point to the Hen
ness, and are willing to risk everything on
it. All we ask is an intelligent attention to

FRIDAY MORNING, MAY e5th, 1860.

Nor ARRIvzD.-At ii o'clock yesterday (Fri-
day. the lSth,) evening the Nevada Rifles had
not arrived in Carson Valley. They left Nevada
on Monday morning. The troops that left Pa
esrville on Monday at IL o'clock NJ, arrived at
Genoa at O'Clock on Wednesday night. This
speaks volumes in favor of the Placerville route
and completely refates the malicious lies manu-
factured by hireling correspondents against this
route.-Piacerritte Democrat.
The Nevada Rifles left man behind to
bring up the percussion caps, as we stated
in our last, and were obliged to lie over
till Tuesday morning at Eureka in conse-
quence. Also one day at Naples Ranch
And again the report Of Indians in Sierra
cautiously, thereby losing considerable time
The Placerville Democrat very adroitly par
ades the fact that the Placerville company
had arrived on Wednesday night at Genoa,
and the Nevada Rifles had not arrived
twenty -four hours after. The Democrat with
equal propriety may state that the Nevada
Rifles have not arrived, in its dog days issues
Our company never expected to 60 down on
the Placeryille road and away from the In
dians to meet the Placerville troops at &C.
noa. Our troops were destined for Virginia
City, and if the Placerville people hear OF
their getting down between thirty and forty
miles on their road except to pull travellers
out of the boundless and bottomless mud
holes on that route, we expect they will
make a note of it.
1t is we'll for our Placerville cotemnorary
to make as much fuss as possible over its
route while it can. Its Gig" is nearly up.
To test sincerity, however, and arrive at
cts, we are authorized to bet FIVE hundred
dollars that the Henness route is a better
one for travel or freight than the Placer
Vile route. The bet to be decided by Col.
Lab der, Frank Soule, or any other man,
or number of men, with regulations to lose.
Will any one dare take the bet?

H&- The Democrat fatty denies that Doug

that he. had hand in the affair of setting
of said Whig territory. A gentleman who
took an active part in the canvass informs
us that the act was done by the Democrats

The Indian War.

The reliable information from the Indian
War, so much talked of lately, on our east
ern border, is about as we expected to hear
From the first report we never believed there
was the slightest necessity for arms or troops
being sent to Carson Valley. We believed
there was another Harper's Ferry panic.
BUTT was not proper for our citizens to act
upon their impressions in the premises We
were far from the scene of excitement. We
knew little of the circumstances surround
ing our brethren in Utah. They called for
arms earnestly. They knew better their ne
cessities, it was proper to admit, than we.
1t became US to act upon their impressions,
rity. The people of California are entitled
to as much credit for the assistance they
gave their brethren over the mountains as
if every town in the Territory had been in
vested with a beseiging army. We cannot
particularly admire the want of GOODNESS
and reason of the silver miners who called
SO pathetically for assistance. No Indians
were within fifty miles when their entreat-
les began, and, besides, 1t is rare in Ameri-
can history to find an instance of a town
biug attacked by Indians alone. A body of
whites must be cooperating with savages to
give them heart for seige. The people of
| Virginia and Carson cities had arms enough
to repel any Indian force that could be
brought easily against them. They were
able to fortify their town in a few hours
sufficient to resist the attacks of Indians.
A wild excitement prevailed which over
slaughed the reason and judgment. Agang
of towards, fresh from an inglorious field,
came rushing in, pell-mell, upon the towns,
with the Old tale, 81 alone am left," and
upset the calculations of the multitude
We call them towards because the last re-
ports represent them as deserving the ap-
pellation. A large part of the valiant force
which went out with Henry Meredith took
to their heels Immediately Oh seeing Indi-
ans, and left the few brave men in the CON-
pany to follow, or die fighting, overpowered
by the savages. One hundred brave men,
if the reports be true, could have come out
of the fight with honor and without serious
loss. They could have saved the State OF
California great deal of unnecessary
trouble and considerable expense, for had
they contested .he field bravely no thought
of panic could have originated in the
towns, as there did.

The Poor INDIAS.-The numerous Cali

feel the force of American arms. Instead OF
investigating the causes which have led to a
misunderstanding between the whites and
rendering justice where it is due, no doubt

Henn.ss Pass-Ro.te s.or,..,d..

Mr.. John X. Sale, who universally does
just what he proposes to do, has gone al
work in proper manner to fit up the Hen
ness Route for travel Last week a large
quantity of feed and provisions was sent
up to stock the various stations along the
route that no hindrance on that score NAV
hereafter be experienced. He is preparing,
in addition to his large pack train, an ex-
press which is tomake the trip from Virginia
City to Nevada in 2 hours and in order to
save time and travel, every place on the
route where the road can be shortened
without toe much expense, has been exam
ined and we'll attended to. Two miles are
saved at Humbug, thus reducing the dist
ance from Nevada to Eureka to 22 miles
In going from Eureka to Naples Ranch a
saving of full two miles is effected by leav-
ing Jaekson's to the left, reducing the dis
tance from Eureka to Naples to % miles
Another cut off is made between O'Neal's
Ranch and Virginia City of miles by leav-
ing Stouts bridge to the left and crossing
the Truckee higher up. This reduces the
distance between the places named to 81
miles. Where stations are needed measures
have been taken to supply them. The dist
