Another Project;

In conversation few days since with a
well known engineer, whose knowledge OF
this section of the State is not exceeded by
any person We know of, we were happily
enlightened as to the nature of the country
between Nevada and Marysville. Hitherto
the impression has been prevalent that a
railroad with practicable grades could not
be constructed between the two places
named. But, it seems, in the opinion of
men whose business is to examine into
such matters, and whose Judgment is enti-
tied TO great respect, a route is quite feast
Bile and likely to be adopted. We are not
able, at this time for want of personal
knowledge of the country, to give the prob
able line as it was traced for us by the en-
gineer. Suffice it to say for the present
that it begins to surmount the elevation in
coming this way at the highlands skirt
ing Dry Greek, and gradually acquiring al
titude it crosses the Yuba at a favorable
point and reaches Penn Valley, from which
place it makes Nevada by the way of Deer
Creek. So far as we are acquainted with
the country the line seems to be entirely
feasible.
When the road between Marysville and
Benicia shall have given evidence of COM
pletion, it will be we'll for our citizens, in
view of the apathy and indeed the clear
opposition of Sacramento to connection
with our city by railway, to attempt to
unite their fortunes with the more wide
awake and polite people of Marysville. A
connection with the coast by railway is a
necessity which must sooner Or later be
supplied If we cannot obtain it by one
route, we must try another. and to the
victor belongs the spoils.' We expect to
be able to give at some time not far hence a
minute description of the proposed railroad
line to Marysville, as attention is already
called to it by those who will not let the
matter sleep.

GEy. SHIELDS recently lecturcd in San
Francisco on "Mexico." From the synopsis
in the Herald we judge the lecture to have been
most interesting one. He describes the conn
try, its vegetable and mineral productions, its
climate, volcanoes, &c. He gives his view of
Aztec civilization and power, pays a splendid
tribute to the Spanish coDquerors, relieves them
from the charge of cruelty and oppression to
the conquered in some degree. condemns the re-
publicanism Of Mexico of the present day in
unmeasurcd terms, insists it is the duty of our
government to extend both guidance and pro-
tecfion to the Mexicans. in conclusion he
pays beautiful tribute to the clemency, hui
manity and magnanimity of the American army
while in Mexico.
Nevada would be proud to welcome Gen.
Shields and hear him repeat that lecture. Sup
pose the Library Association make ovcrtures.

what Did John e. Price do at the
General Conference

Mr.. EDIroR:-It is known that Wesleyan
Union Church of Harrisburg furnished Mr..
Price with credentials and money to attend
the General Conference that sat in Phila-
delphia, and subsequently adjourned to
Zion Church, New York City Mr.. Price
went to New York on Saturday morning,
the 9th inst, presented his credentials
was received as delegate--spent about
one hour in the Conference, previous to the
hour Of adjournment, and left the city as
early as 6 o'clock on Monday morning.
Now, if there were any engagements of
Mr.. 2. which prevented him from doing
the business of his Church, as lay dele
gate, or any good reasons which required
him to leave New York SO precipitantly,
which he knew previous to going there,
land believe he did, he deserves the Sc
verest censure for spending the peoples
money without attending to their business.
The Trustees of Wesley Church should
investigate this matter. T.Mc.

no right to complain, as the Father giveth

The uppermost topics of the day in this

of the prosperity of the colored societies of
Reading, for in my humble opinion they
range at very low ebb, and unity-that
brilliant attribute of prosperity-stands
discovered. This state of things is truly
deplorable when we remember the object
for which societies are formed. But in
stead of keeping in view that philanthropic
spirit through which the highest state of
prosperity is attained, they have polluted
the mandates and made its attributes instru-
ments of war.

cumstances and built foundation which
was eulogized in the most fattering terms

buttons of books which now form beau

raising the standard of society was ardent
ly looked for; but, alas! those radiant
hopes are hastily growing benighted in
consequence of the non attendance of its
members. But there is still hope, and
renewed energy will be put forth which, if
rightly concentrated, think will rebound

Nh. EDlToR:- Jour readers are of course
aware Of the fact that at Paterson may be
found that celebrated cataract, the Passaic
Falls Here the river, winding through
the mountains, rushes downward over the
rocks, making leap of about eighty feet
at single dash Surrounding the place,
the scenery is the most sublime and ro-
mantle imaginable.
The cascades fail, the rivers flow,
The woody valleys, warm and low
The windy summit, wild and high,
Roughly rushing on the sky.
The naked rocks, the shady bower,
The town and village, dome and farm
all are here; and
Each gives to each double charm,
As pearls upon an Ethiop's arm"
1t was here that Sam Patch, who after

week, the rope, which passed high o7erthe
tall trees in the valley of the Rocks"
was stretched across the river from the
Cottage on the Cliff on one side, to the
summit of Morris Mountain on the other.
The distance across is about one thousand
feet, the rope being about two hundred
feet above the rocky river and valley. The
time occupied by the performer in crossing,
which he does with the help of a balancing
pole, is four minutes. Frenchy's exhibi-

this, he must depend upon the contributions of
the benevolent in this city and elsewhere for the
support of his family and the aid of those who
come to him in distress. All fagitives coming
this way should be directed to the care of Rev.
Rev. J. W. Loguen, and contributions or subscrip-
tons of money, clothing, or provisions may be
sent directly to him, or to such persons as be may
designate.
Mr. Loguen agrees to keep exact accounts of
all that he receives and of those whom he shell
tiers and assists and holds accounts in readiness
for the inspection of any friends who will take
the trouble to come and examine them. He will
also make semi-annual reports and present his ac-
counts to gentlemen who have been appointed to
audit them.
We, the undersigned, citizens of Syracuse, have
long known Mr.. Loguen We believe him to be
very upright as well as enterprising man, every
way qualified to fill the important station which
he occupies, and we cordially commend him to
the confidence of the benevolent everywhere.
We take this occasion to caution the benevo-
lent everywhere against one VIM. Brown, some
times called the Rev. Mr. Brown, sometimes Pro-
fessor, and at other times DR.. Brown, who has
been extensively about the country claiming to
be friend of the fugitives. We advise all those
who wish to make donations for the promotion of
this phianthrOpic enterprise to make them to
Mr.. Loguen, and TO refrain altogether from max
ing them to Mr.. Brown.
