The superintendence of the works of this
company, by the vote of the stockholders at
a meeting last week, was given to James
Cregan, Esq1 a gentleman eninentIy quali-
fed to manage the afFsirs 10 a successful
end. Under bis supervision the road will
be brought TO an early completion, and to
yield revenue with the smallest possible
outlay to the stock holders, and at the same
time the road will be one Of the most COM
modious and complete In the State. The
monetary affairs of the company being now
beyond question, the work of finishing the
remainder Of the grading will not lack for
hands for its accomplishment so soon rs the
weather will permit in the early spring. A
work Of so great magnitude requires time
to bring II to that state Of perfection deri-
rable. So far as completed, the road Is re-
ported by disinterested rarties to be Of Q,
superior kind, equal to the best. The re-
mainder Of the road is to be built In like
style. By late arrangements a tone has
been given to the company which is bound
to tell to the advantage Of the road. Al
ready men of means Indicate disposition
to take the remaining stock left unsold as
soon as the spring opens, and lend :heir ef-
forts to procure the earliest possible COM
pletion of the great highway-for such IT
is destined to be-over the Sierra Nevada.
Already some twenty-five thousand dollars
have been expended on the road. It's esti-
mated by the stockholders that thirty five
thousand more will be necessary to com.
plete it in the style contemplated. Add to
this the company has surveyed and located
route from Nevada to Eureka across the
South Yuba, on which not less than thirty
thousand dollars will be required. The
grades descending and ascending the hills
of the South Yuba Mt the crossing, as sur
! veyed, will not exceed twelve inches to the
rod in the steepest part-being a great i'm
provement on the grades now passed on the
route to the silve. region.
The Superintendent of the Company is
sanguine that with the plans he has in view
the whole road can be put in the most COM
plete order in two months from the time
work is commenced in the spring.
| We understand from persons conversant
with the country along the line of the road
that nearly the whole country is claimed
by squatters in anticipation of great travel
and that improvements in the way of hous-
es, barns, fences ETC., are progressing along
the roadside at a great rate. 1t is well
known the Henness route offers superior
inducements to settlers. The succession of
valleys through which it lies for large
part of the distance, affording an excellent
soil, pure water and an abundance of grass,
the picturesque scenery and conducivcness
to health of the elevated regions, invite
many to a home where Spanish grants and
defective land titles are not known, and the
natural advantages of the route, acknowl-
edged by all men acquainted with the pas
ses of the Sierra Nevada, to be infinitely
superior 20 all others, tells these hardy set
tiers their lot will one day be not unenvied |
when the irol horse shall be whisked by |
their doors with the celebrity of the sun
beam, and bearing for his burthen the
richest productions of Japan and the Indies. |
PLAGIARISM Quien Sabe ~ shows up |
the plagiarism of the Rev. DR.. Scott, in
most unenviable light in three columns and
half of the Mondays Sac. Union. Exten-
sive quotations from DR.. Cummings and |
DR.. Scott are placed in juxtaposition by
which the language of both is easily COM
pared. We have never seen more palpa-
BILE case of stealing another mans brains
than the one established by "Quien Sabe."
