PAcIFIc RAnRoAD.-A bill has already
been introduced into Congress, providing
for the construction of railroad from the
Missouri River to the Pacific Ocean. The
Central route has been selected for the
mail service, and with proper exertions
and influences it would be for the Pacific
Railroad. Let those interested in the
matter take the subject in hand and act
promptly. 1t has been fully demonstra-
ted, by the regularity with which, in the
most unfavorable season, the Overland
mail makes its trips, that the Central
route is ne1eanly feasible for q railroad,
but much tmS'shOrtest and least danger
Gus and difficult The Southern route is
now out of the question and the Northern
is believed to be impracticable. The
railroad will be built and Placerville might
secure its connection with her by vigor-
ously pushing forward her contemplated
railroad with the navigable waters of the
State. .......

MEETING OFTHE Decentralization Mon.
day next the Legislature convencs at Sac
ramento, and the session promises to be
n memorable one. 1t meets at a gloomy
and critical period in our country'S histo-
~, when parties seem to be in a transition
state and excitement and prejudice and
passion are in the ascendant. To lrgislate
tcmperately and wisely at such time
requires ability and patriotism, and we do
not think a majority Of the members are
gifted with an extra quantity of either
We are impressed with the belief, judging
from the tone and temper Of the "inde-
pendent" and Republican press, that mis-
chievous and violent measures will be
proposed, and partisan malignity carried
to extreme lengths. Unexpectedly par
ty, by the suicidal course Of its opponents.
finds itself for the first time in power, and
as it is sensible Of the fact that it has
achieved its first and last victory in Cali
fornia, it will use it for its own benefit,
regardless of the rights or interests Of the
State. Responsible to no great and per-
msnent party for heir acts, the RePuSh-
can members will recklessly support any
violent measure that their leaders may
suggest, in order to intiInidate their op.
ponents. 1t is unfortunate that they are
in power, as the people will ere long dis.
cover, but not in time to save the State
from pernicious laws.
1t is not an easy matter, in these shift

Of politicians; but it is more than proba.
bic that the Republicans, with their i'm
mense patronage, both State and National,
will be able to control the Legislature.
A party in power always has a decided
advantage of party without patronage,
and promised lucrative appointment not
unfrequently has wonderfully and sudden
" changed the views politicians. Know
ing this and judging the present by the
past, we shall not he surprised if the Re-
publicans elect both President of the Sen
ate and Speaker of the Assembly. We
hope not, but fear it.

VINO IS JOHN CocHRANE?-Thea ntece-
dents of John Cochrane, who recommend
ed arming the slaves of the South, are not
such as Democrats either admire or APP
prove. The Opposition are trying to make
the masses believe that he has always
been a consistent old line Democrat. The
truth is, he has never been anything of
the kind. The Cincinnati Enquirer thus
ventilates the notorious John: "Mr.
Cbchrane himself, and what he may say,
are moi OF very much consequence. He
always was crotchcty, vacillating and I'M
certain. He was one of the concoctors Of
the Buffalo Platform, and has vibrated
since between that and pro-slavery. He
has now taken the back Sbute, and gone
clean over to the Buffalo contrivance, and
is for placing arms in the hands of the
sixwss, bidding them, in Gods name,

His uncle, Gerritt Smit8, "A" 1aHfss VA 0SA IA

EXCHANGE OF PRIsoNERs.-It is known
that our Government has refused to ex.
change prisoners with the rebels on the
ground that to do so would be to recog-
nize them as beIligerents. But it seems
that they are doing indirectly what they
have heretofore resused to do directly.
They have adopted the plan of releasing
as many rebel prisoners as they may VOL
unfairly release of ours in their hands
It is to be hoped that this plan will be
continued, since no direct exchange can
be effected, and the captives be released
from confinement and restored to their
friends. Letters from the prisoners state
that although they are we'll treated, yet
they desire to join their comrades in arms,
and they implOre the Government ta make
some arrangement for their exchange.
