Passenger Train to Washoe.

We are reliably informed that Mr. T. G.
Smith, the well-known livery stable keeper
of this place, will soon put passenger train
of one hundred mules on the road between
North San Juan and the eastern slope, by
way of Forest City and the Henness Pass
As soon as the snow on the summit will per
nit, the train will 60 through to Carson City
and the silver mines. An attempt to get
through would have been made next week,
and with every chance ofsuccess, but for the
Intervention of snow storm The route
will no doubt be open in time to accommo-
date the stream of travel which will set in
from the north by the beginning of spring
After the Truckee Turnpike Company shall
have completed its enterprise, and numerous
stations are established along the road, the
Henness Pass route will be kept open through
all seasons, and must be the great highway
for all northern travel. Its superiority as sum-
mer road is already established Mr.. Smiths
passenger train is only preliminary to a line

next summer. The citizens of Yuba, Neva-
da and Sierra counties may well congratulate
themselves on the certainty that great
transmontane highway will go through their
midst
In connection with this subject we learn
that Mr.. Smith will establish a station at the
new town of Truckee City, which is situated
at the south point of the Buttes in Truckee
Meadows, where all the northern roads con-
verge, and grass, hay, grain and water are
abundant A hotel is already in process of
erection, and several stores and shops will
soon be put up and occupied better To-
cality for town could not have been select
ed. The land surrounding it is adapted to
agriculture, and already occupied by persons
who intend to put in grain and vegetable
crops and plant fruit trees and grape vines.
Silver, copper and lead have been found in
the adjoining hills, where also pine timber
grows and two saw mills have been erected.
The new town was started, according to the
Marysvile Appeal, by an association of eight
men of means and influence, part of whom
are on the site now, and the remainder in
Marysville, North San Juan and Forest City

BAD EFFECTS OF SENDING LATHAM TO WASH
INGToN.-The st. Louis correspondent of the
graph in allusion to Senator Latham:
For so young a man to fall into the Offices
of Collector, Congressman, Governor and
Senator in so short time, is thought little
remarkable, and Latham is universally pro-
nonnced lucky dog. Our political fledg-
lings have conceived a high admiration for
California "That's the Statel' they ex-
claim. "where a fellow to get Office is not re-
qured to be gray -headedp Look out for an
inroad of young yirginians We can spare
enough from Missouri alone to devastare
California politically, from Los Angeles to
the Sierra Nevada.

OVERLAND Horse ExPREssEs.-The Post
master General has decided to discontinue
the coach service between Fort Yuma and
San Diego and substitute horse service as
more economical. So far in relation to the
action of the Government. Again, we learn
that Russell & Majors, Government contract
ors, intend starting a courier express be-
tween St. Joseph and Carson City, which
is the eastern terminus of the California tel
egraph, by the Sd of April. Preparatory
orders have already been given. The dis
tance is 500 miles, which it is proposed to
travel in eight days. by horse relays every
twenty-five miles, thus reducing commune
cation between New York and San Francisco
within ten days. The cos; of dispatches to
Carson City will be five dollars piece. 1t
is estimated that the courier can carry thirty
pounds of matter. They are to start from
each terminus at the same time. These con-
tractors have stations and horses on the
whole route, AMI only need organization to
commence services.

MoRTUARY AND VITAL STATIsTIcs-From
the report of the State Registrar we regret
to learn that the law requiring registration
of births, deaths, marriages, divorces, ETC.,
is still generally disregarded. The statistics
returned for 1859 were very meager, and
thirteen counties made no report at ell. The
differences from the few statistics obtained
are very interesting The chief grounds for
divorces were drunkenness, cruelty and de-
sertion. The principal mortuary canse has
been consumption, but the disease was gen
orally contracted abroad. Diseases OF the
heart and throat rank next.
In view of the Importance to science, and
even to the every day interests Of society,
of the registration law, the noncompliance
with it is not hattering to the intelligence of
ou- people. We hope it may not be re-
pealed, but that some method may be found
for insuring fuller complia nee with it. IF
every newspaper publisher in the State
would send copy of his paper regularly to
the Registrar, great mass of valuable sta
tistics would be afforded that officer even if
the people continue to disregard the law as
heretofore. No doubt a request to this ef-
feet would be cheerfully granted.

HUMBUG CANoN.-Our old correspondent
Hydraulic" fayors us with the following
items:
CDR. Hilder is vigorously prosecuting his
tunnel, and expects to get in after few
months. He has had harder rock to encoun-
ter than any other person in this vicinity,
but he has manifested great zeal and perse-
verance, and will, in time, be amply reward
ed. Concerning the claims about his ground
am not well enough posted to give any
particulars; but they are pretty nearly all
washing, and reported to be doing well.
Next come the claims of DR.. Gillespie, who
would have been ready to wash before this
but for serious accident, namely,-th ca
wing of his shaft and filing in ofhis tunnel.
1t will probably be cheaper for him to run a
new tunnel than to reopen the old one.
Next comes Manzanita Hill which can
safely be called the best bill on this canon
Wheeler Co., on the extreme north side of
the hlll have just commenced washing and
cleaned up Sl5 per day to the hand above
expenses. They use only eighty inches of
water believe. Next in order is the New
York Co., which has been for the last six
months running tunnel that is just COM
pieted, also shaft connecting with the
same l20 feet deep. The tunnel is $50 feet
long and as straight as an arrow The men
composing this company are mostly English
men, all practical miners and honest hard
working men. Judging from the way their
claims used to pay, before they enjoyed the
present advantages, they ought to yield now
S25 per day to the hand The owners in
tend to use 800 inches of water during next
sammer. These claims are valued at SO 600
Ter one-fourth, and are cheaper at that than
any set OF dggings on San Juan Hill
Now for ''old Joes claims" adjoining the
New ork Co. The owners are washing and
making big wages--say from SIG to S25 per
day 10 the share. Well leave them alone IN
their glory and call at Villa Rca Hill The
hrst claims we encounter are called the
Henry claims, and are now owned by
Greer, who recently bought them | un-
derstand they are paying well. Foster & Co.,
also on this hill, are making the gravel fly,
but what amount OF money they are making
am unable to say.
Next comes Dutch Hill. Washing is en-
trely suspended at present. All parties are
engaged running tunnels. Bates Henry is
building an immense tail-fume on Humbug
Canon. which will prove Of great advantage
to hundreds OF claims, and pay him large
per centage on his money. The reduction of
water rates to l63 cents has augmented the
value Of claims hereabouts fully fifty per
ent.
Since writing the above learn that Has
kell 4 CO.. told Joe's claim) have cleaned
up nearly 81 800 from Al days run with $50
inches of water
RELIEF HnL.-Eight companies are wash
ing and making money, and several more
drifting and tunneling. This is a genuine
oldfashiored mining community, so we are
informed, and representative Of state of
society which has entirely ceased to exist in
most mining villages. The miners live iso-
lated from the rest of the world, and card
playing and tippling are their principal
amusements. The population does not prob
ably exceed one hundred.

Mr. S. H. Rounds, a Californian, has in

Turtie-Drag," calculated to perform at one
motion. the operations of sowing grain or
any kind of seed, narrowing it in, breaking
the Jumps, and rolling or leveling the
ground. 1t runs on four wheels and is drawn
by two horses. The Alta commends it as
laborsaving, economical, simple and strong.
