TAKE BACK Your ISLANDERS Gen. Ste
vens, the gallant officer who fell in the late
battle of Manassas, was Chairman of the
national (Breckenridge,) democratic central
committee in 1860. Nearly every Republ
lcan paper in the country denounced him
as a dough face, secessionists and traitor.
He has proved his patriotism on the field of
battle, and given up his life for his country.
Justice to the memory and family Of that
gallant patriot now demands that his tradu-
GERS retract their foul ISLANDERS. Will thew
do it? Sonora Democrat

THE New TAX LAVA Washington
correspondent says the national treasury
already begins to feel the operations of the
new Tax law. The Golfers already contain
revenue obtained under the new law half
million of dollars having been received from
that source during The month Of September
1t is believed that the increasing revenues
cannot fail to strengthen the government
securities, and diminish the almost frighfuI
premium on gold.

RAILROAD IRoN.--Night before last the
barge Musqnito arrived at the levee with 35
tuns of railroad iron which had been rescued
from the river about 90 miles below the city, +,
at point where the Harriet X WAS capsized
last Spring. The schooner had deck load
of los, tuns of railroad iron, and when the
vessel turned over and sunk, the iron very
naturally went to the bottom. In few
weeks he Harriet X was raised and resumed
her place on the river. The Insurance Com.
lpany paid the insurance on the iron, and emi
pfoyed the crew of the Musquito to raise it,
The 35 tuns referred to is the first instament
and result of their abors. The captain of
the barge informs US that no effort will be
made to raise any more of the iron, as it is
found to be so much bent that it will hardly
pay for the trouble and expense.
Sac. Bee. Oct 30M.
This iron belonged to the Auburn railroad.
The company however lost nothing by its
going to the bottom of the Sacramento riv.
err We are pleased to know that SO much
has been recovered.

TuE PArcrIc RAILROAD AND IT'S EASTERN

The PArcFIc RAILROAD AND IT'S EASTERN
TERMINUS Unless the signs of the times
unmlstskably fail. the city OF Chicago is
bound to be the great eastern terminus OF
the Pacific railroad whenever it is completed.
Whoever shall control the business of the
main line, will Of course control the business
of the branches The Lake Shore Lines
combined, will be pretty sure to manage
affairs in such way that the St. Louis
branches shall never be built. By buying
up a little stock, and gettinga finger in the
management of the southern branch roads,
ST. Louis will be left out in the cold, while
the Mississippi and Missouri road. chartered
to run from Davenport to council Bluffs, and
built as far as Iowa City, will be pushed
beyond the Missouri to Fort Kearny by the.
capital of the same men who will try to balk
the desi ms Of the st Louis interests While
the people of ST. Louis have been talking.
the Chicago and Lake Shore capitalists
have been pushing forward the Council Bluff
railroad, knowing that it would be nearer
the Pacific Railroad, and nearer to New
York than an extention of any Missouri
railroad The con, iction that Chicago will
be the principal terminal point, is something
which, in private conversation, the Pacific
Railroad incorporators, at their late meet
ing in Chicago, do not attempt to conceal.
ONE ADVANTAGE OF THE WAR-The ed,
itor Of the DaIes (Or' gon) Moun,aineer,
an Administration paper, has recently con
versed with gentleman just arrived from
the east, over the plains, from whom he
gained the following facts:
"rhe war has already driven to the Pacific
coast many thousands, and should it contn
ue another year we may expect heighra,
the like of which the world has never known.
Western farmers can obtain scarcely any
thing for their produce and to ship to New
York via railroads and canals more than
eats up the proceeds. Corn was sold for 10
cents per busheI, and hams and bacon 2 l-2
to cents per pound. The closing Of the
Mississippi had worked ruin to the western
country, and thousands who had thought
themselves rich, now find it difficult to exc
out an existence"
