THE CENTRAL PACIFIC RAIL
ROAD.

The Sacramento correspondent OF the San
Francisco Evening Bulletin says:
As this city is the capital of the State, mat
terS ofmomcnt connected with her well-belng
naturally possess much interest to your read
erS. l have heretofore written OF various
points ofintereSt connected with Sacramento,
but have been obliged to defer until now to
mention her railroads and levee, to ooth OF
which her future prosperity will greatly be
owing. This morning, in company with I.
Crocker, (whO is the contractor for the bridge
and first eighteen miles of the Central Pa
citic railroad.} l examined the bridge and
about seven miles of the line of the road
leading from the city. The road, so far as
seen, seems TO be in excellent condition. 1t
Is well advanced, the entire distance exam
incd being ready for the ties and iron, (SlnSle
track) while the treStle work, (abOut IL mile
long, connected with the bridge across the
American river is within few days of conf
pletion, and the piers of the bridge are ready
10 receive the SupcrStructure, all OF when,
with the exception of the laying of the iron,
is promised 70 be done during October. The
levec on the CITY side is seemingly above dam
ger from high water, the trcStle-wor& Is
strongly built of extra heavy timberS, and the
bridge piers are of a substantial character.
In having out the line ofthe road the engineers
seem to have made good selection OF ground
rs the grading and cutting beyond the Ameri-
can river is very light beyond the embank-
ment of the first half-mile, it in no place
exceeding, in the distance examined, four
feet grading, and two and half to three feet
cutting, these being rare and extreme, which
condition, from an inspection of the profile of
seems TO prevail on the first eighteen miles.
This state of things naturally suggests the
cheapness of the building of the road for that
distance, and leads one TO infer that the state
ments made by various parties when the con-
tract was first announced, are correct, viz:
that the sum of 100000, privately awarded
for the same, is excessive, and that public
competition would have so proved it. There
certainly is no evidence of a necessity Of an
outlay exceeding $4,000 or $4,000 per mile
on any portion of the road east of the bridge,
the slight grading and cutting being more
nominal than real-it approaching nearer to
the character Of work and expense on the
street railroads OF San Francisco rather than
a country railroad.

The Medicine for all Seasons.

DR.. RoBACK's STOMACH BITTERs.-We
profess to have more than a superficial
knowledge Of the healing art, and while we
are fully prepared to admit that humbug is
but another word for imposition, and, there
fore, do not allow any advertisement or
notice to appear in our paper, that has the
least tendency to corrupt the human mind,
we are always glad to recommend what we
believe to be real boon to society, and
having made an experimental use Of DR.. Ro-
backs Stomach Bitters, we bear our test
mony to their real, genuine and very benef-
cial use. DIR. RS bitters far surpass any
preparation of the kind we have ever used |;
and we urge all who need mild, safe, and
most agreeable tonic, to try this medicine at
once. If you try il once, you will be sure to
try it again. 1t is just the thing for the
stomach in hot weather.-[Eaton (Ohio)

"GREENBAcXs." Few people, perhaps,
are aware why the National currency is
printed with green backs, therefore cor
temporary explains the reason. Ever
since the adoption of paper currency, it
has been the constant study of bank note
engravers to get up some plan of printing
bills that could not be counterfeited. In
this they only partly succeeded, till, as
late as 1857, man named Stacy ]. Edison
invented kind of green ink, which he
patented June 30th, of that year. 1t IS
called anti-photographic ink. because it
cannot be photographed on account OF Its
color, and cannot be dislodged with aka
lies by counterfeiters, to get a complete
fac-simile of the bills. And as 1t Is q
secret only known by the American Bank
Note Company and the inventor, it IS I'M
possible to counterfeit the greenback
money. 1t was used by many banks
before the war, but was never Leading
feature in the bill; but even if the compo-
sition of the ink was known, it would De
of no use, as the work couldnot be copied
from the.senuine bills as with any other
kind of ink. The date of the patent can
be seen in all the bills, in small print.

THE CAUSE OF POLAND.

Ever since the diSmemberment of Poland,
through the Vaccinations Of Russia, she
has made what may be called one long, con-
tinuouS struggle for independence. The
Cars have found in her an unruly subject,
one not to be consoled with sophisGcal
grants of liberty, or those peculiar unsatis-
factory bon-bonS, which tyrants always dis
pense so literally among people who show
themselves restless under the yoke. Her ef-
forts for re-enfranchisement have been per-
tinaciouS and unceaSing, although they have
only BY spasmodic impulses revealed them
selves TO the world at large; yet, neverthe-
less, Russia, through her secret agents, has
marked the unceaSing throes of the brave
people, and stationed her hordes of Cossacks
at convenient places, whence, united, they
could swoop down at any moment, and
crush the insurrection at its very inception,
as a giant would crush cockle-shell. Such
has been the history of the Polish cause for
wears; cause for which the people have
prayed and labored, and to which succeeding
generations have pledged themselves and
their children; a cause which never has
been, and never will be, forsaken. Such
deep and ardent devotion to the cause of
national liberty; such total abandonment
of life and property to national interests,
can scarcely find their parallels in the an
mails of the world. Men, women and child
rem have defed the Russian cavalry to its
teeth, and all unarmed and undefended have
knelt down in the public squares, and re-
ceived its charge, rather than obey the Rus
sian behests.
Every month, every day, has produced its
hundred Thaddeuses, as lion-like and defiant
as he of Warsaw, fighting the guards with
clenched fists when weapons were not avail
able, and accepting death, the knout, or
Siberia, rather than yield to the despots one
prerogative Of the free-born man. Who,
then, can wonder that the cause of Poland
has become as it were the cause of every
people who can appreciate true manhood and
unAinching courage and patriotism? A war
in behalf of Poland would be war no less
popular than were the crusades of Ceur de
Lion, whether in monarchies or Republics.
In all human probability, the last age of her
enslavemens is passed The Intervention of
powers whose advice Russia dare not ignore,
will place her on a substantial basis of lin
tied independence, from which the greater
prize may at any propermoment be grasped.

The Governor of Connecticut Aiming the
aa. Loyal Leagues.

i.'H The Democrats of the Connecticut
Legislature have smoked out the fact that
Governor Buckingham has distributed
large numbers of the State arms 10 parfi-
san friends 10 Litfrent parts If thut STATE.
! The Governor adfnits 10 special message
that he did thus distribute 1855 guns, and
gives the Eanes t the parties to whom
they were sent Tnese are all prominent
members Of the Union League, and the
Governor justiies his action by the fear
that the draft riot in New York indicated
an extensive organization in other places
to resist the draft He says he could find
40 law forbiding him to send out he arns,
and he therefore took the responsibility Of
doing so! The Hartford Times says thai
State ammunition has also been distribu
ted by the Governor, and that che has
armed secret midnight / agues, without
Authority Of law, with the arms belonging
to the peope-"and those arms might at
any time in the night (for it all appears
to be work IF the uight) be used to
assall the people who innocenty supposed
their arms were secure in the State ARISEN
al" Mr.. Eaton, in the debate on the
message, charged that the information on
which the Governor acted in sending out
the guns was false. And he further said:
off the arms of the State are to be put
into the irresponsible hands of partisans
on the mere secret representation of med
ding partisan busybodies, [ tell you, sir,
the people of the State will in turn take
this matter into their own hands, and arm
themselves. '-Ne,oarh (N J) Journal

1t will be seen from the telegraphic des-
patches that President Lincoln has issue
proclamation calling for 100000 voluu-
teers AS this is no doubu necessary
and proper step, we deeply regret that it
is not accompanied with such assurances
to the people as would serve to secure its
immediate and thorough success Instead
of such assurances, however, it is repor-
ted simultaneously with the appearance of
the proclamation that general order will
be issued by the War Department in u
few days providing for the enlistment of
slaves in Maryland, Kentucky, Missouri,
Western Virginia and Tennessee Our
private advice from Washington, suppor.
ted by the fact that the enlistment of
slaves has taken place already'in Maryland,
and was suspended only the other day for
some reason'unknown or at least ueavowed,
and by the further fact that the enlistment
OF slaves is now going 'on in Tennessee

A letter to the New York Times gives an &c.
count of an expedition undertaken by Brigadier
General Wild, commanding the negro brigade in
Gen. Bntler's department. Starting out from
the vicinity of Portmouth on Saturday, the 9th
inst, and marching in two columns by different
routes, the brigade united at Hintonsvile, N. c.,
whence an advance was made on Elizabeth City,
which was occupied on the 10th without oppose

Artillery and cavalry, as well as a considerable
