PACIFIC Rail ROnd.

We have received the subjoined letter from
I. f. Judah, Esq. We shall commence soon
and publish the documents, which are of an
interesting nature. No other paper having
paid attention to this matter, the record of
the proceedings of the Railroad Committee
will, we trust, be found valuable:
SACRAMENTO, Oct. s, 1860.
Ed. JOURNAL Herewith accompanying
please fud record of proceedings of the Sc
lect Committee Pacific R. r., last session of
Congress, up to Tuesday, April 10, 1860.
But one more meeting was held prior to
consideration of the bill in the House, which
was for the purpose of ascertaining if the
Committee would adhere to their resolution
to insert the words "yia. Salt Lake or vi
cinity," thereby definitely fixing the route
This was adhered to by one majority, and
the bill was so reported to the House.
After the re-commitment of the bill to
Committc, upon resolution ofTeredU think }
by Mr.. Fenton, of New York, an amend
mcnt providing for Southern route, via
Ell Paso, was adopted, and the chairman
authorized to report again to the House.
record of proceedings shows that when
the bill came up it was postponed and made
the special order for third Tuesday in De-
cember next. The bill therefore comes up
in that shape, and does not have to go to
the committee again.
1t will probably receive a strong South
ern vote, in consequence Of the addition of
a Southern route, and unless the election of
President is thrown into the House, stands
fair chance Of passing.
Attached to record of proceedings you
will find the old original bill of Mr.. Curtis
have copy OF the bill as reported. bat
cannot now lay my hand on it. | will send
it to you as soon as | find it.

TA1Es.-We hear of complaints by the
Ranchmen, of excessive taxation this year.
A Ranchman in Grass Valley says the As
SCISSOR raised his valuation from So. 900. to
$4,000. after having set it down at the first
sum in presence of the owner. 1t is plain
there is something wrong, somewhere ;
either the law is in fault, or the officer.
The farmers of this county are liable to
have their property injured, by acts of the
miners, fer which the law gives no redress.
The farmer pays heavy taxes, while the
latter pay none at ALL viii not our Leg
islators give some attention to this matter.

and Indian Wars?

discussion Of the issues of the day by Judge
Searls and A. B. Dibble, which had been

and the issues between the Breckenridge and

CoL. BAKER ELECTED The glorious
news has at last come that Col. Baker has
been elected to the United States Senate
rom Oregon. There has been no event in
the history ofthc coast of more Importance.
1t is the first fruit of the Opposition on the
Pacific slope. \ man of most splendid tai
ents will now plead for the rights and in
terests Of this portion of the Union. 1t
has been long our greatest need. Before
Col. Baker, Latham and all that stripe, will
be dwarfed to pigmies in the Senate. We
predict-see if the prophecy be not true
that the gallant Senator from Oregon, be-
fore two years have expired, will be count
ed the finest orator in that body. We
greatly mistake, if for pure eloquence he
is not equal to any living man in America.
For one we heartily rejoice at his success.
An old line Whig, gallant officer in his
country's service, man of genius and in
tcllectual force, he is bound to command
respect, and the attention of the powers at
Washington, to the wants of the Pacific
States. California is proud of his eleva-
ton, as Oregon may we'll be.

About Raflroads

]
The workings of the Virginia Contra
railroad during FIVE years, have demonstra.
TED the practicability of sleeper grades in
mountainous regions than those considered
maximum for most of the roads in the
world. On the aforesaid road seventy and
seventy FIVE tons freight have been daily
drawn by one locomotive up an inclined
plane with grade ranging from 23O to 26C
feet to the mile. The practicability Of
such grades being established, it is an i'm
portant truth to be taken into considera-
ton by railroad builders in projecting lines
In all hilly regions. 1t may be of the ut
most Importance to us situated as we are
lar up IN the II ountains and elevated more
than two thousand feet above the ocean
level. 1t certainly proves that there IS no
obstacle in the way of a cheap and easy
communication by railway with the coast,
and at no very distant day. A road can be
constructed with steep grades to the VAL
leys, very direct in its course, and consid
ering the saving in excavations, Mt q very
low cost, which will answer all practical
purposes for years to come paying for it's
elf very soon from receipts from travelling
and freight.
As experience in the working of rail-
roads actumulatcs many difficulties are con-
sidered slight, that were deemed insur-
mountable obstacles. Ten years ago a
grade of hundred feet to the mile was
thoHght scarcely practical, and thousand
feet radius of a curve the least % be at
tempted. Now, however, IT has been found
that improved engines can surm ount grades
Of more than three hundred feet to the
mile, while curves of less than three hun
dred feet radius are employed. The fric-
tiou is more than on more level grades.
and consequently the expense of running
is increased but not in that degree as
! given IN old formulas. With the pcrfec
ton of engines, difficulties and expenses
decrease Nor are accidents on steep grades
OF morc.requent occurrence. The extra care
necessary in working cars over such tracks
/ has been found productive of safety. No
accident has occurred on the Virginia Cen
tral Road, and during many years the mails
have never failed but once to be transport
/ ed over the Allegheny mountains daily.
! As we before intimated, roads with these
steep grades can be constructed with far
less expense. In this country this is an
( important consideration. AS the State
/ grows older and the facilities of communi-
cation from one part to the other increased
railroads can be built more cheaply than
at present. Then the permanent railroad
tracks of the State may be laid In the
mean time cheaper roads, and paying ones
may be constructed, which will answer all
practical purposes for the time being
Should they not be deemed adequate to the
wants of the people hereafter, or should
Improvements be required, the wealth o.
the country will have expanded to such ar
extent as to Justify the change, and the ex.
pense will not be sensibly felt by the pub.
lie. As the settler in a new State makes
use of comfortable but cheap dwelling
at first, and as his purse and family in
creases, builds an elegant mansion, so il
may be prudent for US to act concerning
railroads.

NEW TODAY.

TO THE SONS OF TEMPERANCE.
Arouse gallant Sons, arm yourselve for the fight,
To beat back the minions Of alcohols might;
Before the rude blasts Of the storm never quail,
Tho the fierce bitter taunts your foes may assa
While the glad voice OF thousands still rings the air
Whom Temperance has rescued from death and
despair,
Heed not, tho the voice of the scorner may come,
The hireling and slave to the despot of rum.
Tho he uses the power and might OF the pen
To o'sr shadow the joys that might come upon men,
And basely thro' appetites sensual haze,
Applauds ard approves Of the liquors of Blaze.
Aye! the liquors that Blaze with the fierce fires of
hell,
And blaze mans noble eye with demoniac SPELL
Have the types blazoncd forth from letters trans
cribcd,
By him who with champaign and porter was bribed.
Then arouse for the conflict the eye beaming bright
With 4 lustre resplendcnt with temperance light,
TIL the power OF the demon each hour grows less,
We heed not the scorn of prostitute press.
BE ours the sweet province TO dry up the tears,
To ssuage the deep grief and allay all the fears,
OF the mothers, and widows, and children, who
mourn
Over men whom the Transcript laughs at with
scorn.
And onward and upward our motto still be,
Giving freedom to slaves and joy to the free. L.

HIGHWAY RoBBERY.-On Tuesday of last
week robbery occurred beyond the sum-
nit, on the road between Placerville and
Virginia City, and abont eight miles this
side of Van Sickles Ranch. The sufferer
was Wm. Guy Smith, of Virginia City, and
formerly resident OF Yankee Jims, Placer
County. At the time Of the robbery Mr..
Smith was on his return from Sacramento
to Washoc. On his arrival at the point
above indicated, q small sized man stepped
suddenly ont from behind rock present.
ing pistol at him. At the same instant
he observed two other men in front level
ling double barrel shot guns nt him. The
three were all masked. Mr., Smith politely
requested them not to shoot, but was ans
wered with peremptory order to dismount
On his replying that there was no "necessi-
ty for him to dismount, they were welcome
TO what little cash he had" the order was
repeated in a tone that caused him, to use
his own words, " to slide off that horse a
little easier than he ever slid off one before"
The robbers then commenced searching
Mr.. Smith, pulling off his boots and tear
parts of his clothing. On appropriating a
hundred dollars found in Mr. Smiths pam
falcons pocket, they said, "you have been
below to get money-why haven't you got
more about you ?"-thereby showing they
were acquainted with Mr.. Smiths affairs
and had been on the watch for him. Not
withstanding their rough and deliberate
search, they overlooked seventeen dollars
in the watch pocket of Mr.. Smiths vest.
On his asking them for twenty to pay his
expenses, the little chap refused, saying he
ought to have more money about him, and
bidding him begoneF' an order he was
not slow to obey. For the foregoing par
ticulars we are indebted to J. II. Bostwick
Esq, of this city friend of Mr.. Smith, TO
whom they were communicated by the
latter.
