Here is what the poet Coleridge, long az

Here is what the poet Coleridge, long ago,
said about our country:
The possible destiny of the United States
of America-as nation of lOO, 900 free
men-stretching from The Atlantic to the
Pacific, living under the laws of Alfred, and
speaking the language of Shakespeare and
Milton, is an august conception. Why
should we not wish to see it realised p
america wopld then te England, viewed
through q solar mlcroscope-Great Britain
in a State of glorious magnificence How
deeply to be lamented is the spirit of hos
tility and sneering which some of the popu-
lar books of travels have shown IN treating
of the Americans! They hate lis, no doubt,
just as brothers hate, but they respect the
opinions ofan Englishmar Concerning them
selves ten times as much as that Of a native
of any other country on earth. A very1ittle
humoring of their prejudices, and some
courtesy Of language and demeanor en- the
part of Englishmen, would work wonders,
even as it is, with the public mind of the
Americans

We have lostseur, editor. Mr.. Avery 'hs;
bid us and our readers fGnaladieu, and gone
to Marysyille to write. and print Republican,
ism. We have nothng:to do with politics
cor poIiticians-eur little sheet is neutral in
all that sort of tlb;ng-but We cannot shut
our eyes to ,thejfact, that the Republicans, in
enlisting Mr. Avegy:in their editorial cerps,
have shown themselres'moee pelitic than we
thought them. They will now haye-on edi-
tor of cultivated intellect, whose conscience
will be in his work. No where else, in Cali
fornia, could they have found gentleman
of better mental power, of broader charity,
of more active beneyolence, of more genial
siiherality ,ef sentiment, or stronger devotion
to trssth. In brief, if thorough and perfect
manliness Of character is desirable attri-
butte in Republican Journalism, that party,
in the acquisition of Mr.. Avery, has been
amply successful. If, however, there are
Republicans wko expect their editors to deal
IN subtleties and trickeries, in scandal and
Nituperation, we can safely assert that Mr
Avery is not the man for them. With oul
esteemed friends, ofthe Marysyille Demecra
and Express, Mr.. Avery, we feel convinced
will live on terms of the most cordial per
sonalfriendship, though daily obliged to take
up professional arms against their opinions
AS they will never find him undigniGed OF
unfair, of course they will treat him will
equal dignity and fairness; and thus thi:
trinity of political editors can wage a repu.
table, if not merry war, each coming out O
it with his conscience whispering to him
that he is A GENTLEMAN!
On Thursday evening, large party Of Mr.
Avery's San Juan friends gave him splen-
did supper at Cullod;'s, at which, although
the parting with a long-triea aad beloved
fellow citizen gave melancholy interest te
the entertainment, there was, nevertheless
abundance of chasteGed sentiment ana
sparkling wit. A neat little souvenir, con.
sisting of implements Of bis editorial calling
"a brilliant gold pen and beautiful and in
geniously constructed iakStand-was pre-
sented to Mr.. Avery, at the close Of the sup
per, the reception of which he acknowledged
in d brief but eloquent speech, that did eeHa
honor to his head and heart.
And now for nthe word that hath bee.
and that must be"-FAREwELL! Nav you i:

Report of the Surveyor of the iTruckee
Turnpike.

Turnpike.
NORTH SAN JUAN, May so, 1860.
To shesBoard Of Trustees The Truekee Turn
pike Company:
Gentlemen: In accordance with your dl-
rections, have completed a survey of your
road. commencing at Grizzly Fort and run
ming 80 miles, to the State line and summit
of the Sierra Nevada mountaii.s.
The survey follows the old emigrant road,
leading through the Eenness' Pass, except
where it is expedient to reduce the present
grade by locating the road around the hills.
The greatest rise, necessary to complete
the road thus far, will not exceed o feet per
100, and the greater portion of the road Will
not require grade of over halfthat amount
The road, as it now runs, passes directly
along the summit Of the ridge; but, by gra-
ding along the south side, better grade
may be obtained, while the heavy SHOWS Will
be avoided; and | am satisfied that, with but
very little work, the road may be kept open
during the entire winter.
There are'how some 6fty men engaged up
on the road; Under the immediate supervls-
ion CT Messrs. Woods and Freeman,and they
have already completed the work to within
a short distance of Forest City. From the
point where they are now engaged, to Corn
ishe's distance Of FIVE miles, there is but
little work to be done; and, from Cornish's
to Milton, a distance of ten miles, there will
be about FIVE miles of gradingto be done
From Milton to Jackson's,a a distance Of four
miles, there will be about one mile to grade;
and, from Jacksons TO the Summit, dist
ance of eight',uiles, there is but little or no
work to do, as the country is quite fat, and
natural road may be obtained.
Respectfully,
